Taking a photo from a video

Hi there.
Can't seem to find any info on this here. I think I saw on an advert for this phone that I can go through a vidoe I've taken with my phone and pull out certain frames and make them into great action shots. Would love to capture great moments of my animals and kids with a feature like this. Please help me out. Thanks in advance.

You can take pictures while recording a video, you can take screenshots while watching a video but the quality will be quite low, you could probably download an app that can do that, get frames from a video and create an animated image, just check the playstore

How do I create a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

How do I creat a still photo from a video in the new iMovie?

I'll assume you want to create a still to use outside FCPX, not a still frame within FCPX. It's kinda hidden in the "share." Go File/Share/Add Destination. You want "Save Current Frame." After you've created that destination, it'll be there for you in the future under Share.

How do I get a photo from a video in iMovie?

Sadly there is no way.
Other editing apps do allow black bars on screen, but iMovie does not.

How do I create still photos from a video in iMovie?

I am looking to create a still photo from my video. Is this possible? Thanks for any help you can give..

If you want to create a still frame from within iMovie, move your playhead to the frame you want a still image from and ctrl-click. You'll get a slightly different option to create a still frame depending on whether you do this in the project or event window.
From the event window iMovie will add a still at the end of your project, from the project window it will add a still at the playhead.
If you wanted the still on your desktop rather than in iMovie, select the still, ctrl click and choose reveal in finder, copy the image to your desktop and undo your actions in iMovie to remove the still from the project.

How do I capture a still photo from my video footage??

Probably easy I know, but just wondering how to capture a still photo from my video footage. I pulled a particular clip into my viewer window and have found the still shot I want, what next??
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,

Put the playhead over the frame in the timeline and choose Modify>Make Freeze Frame. It will appear in the Viewer window. Drag it into the timeline.
If you want a photo for iPhoto etc. put the playhead over the frame and select File>Export>Using QuickTime Conversion.
In the window that opens change the "Format" setting to Still Image from the dropdown menu.

Capturing a photo from a video

I am running Adobe Photoshop Element V6.0 on Windows XP.
I have read the Photoshop help on how to capture a photo from a video, but have not successfully done it.
I click on File > Import > Frame from video. When the video is playing, I click on the "Grab Frame" button; the "Frames Captured" button shows that I did capture the frame.
This is where I'm stuck. What is supposed to happen next or what do I do next? The "help" just just shows a big blue arrow pointing down to the bottom of the screen.

> the video blinks as if it really is capturing the frame
I've never seen a blink.
I would start by deleting the prefs: Quit the editor, then restart while holding down ctrl+alt+shift. Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Still photos from a video to be used in another program

I am new to iMovie. Is there a way to take a still clip from a video clip and make it into a jpeg or other photo to be used outside of iMovie? If so, what does it get named, and where would I find it to access it from a photo program?

File menu->Save Frame As
Choose JPEG, file name and file destination folder.

PUZZLED: Iphone 4s ran out of space after taking one photo from lock screen and deleted whole photo album. Can I recover?

My phone is running 6.0.1. I took one photo from the lock screen by sliding up the camera button. It was a little blurry so I tried again and the iphone 4ssaid it couldn't because the phone was out of space.
After shutting the phone off and turning it back, put in the passcode and checked my photos and they were all gone. my usage says I only have 150kb left on the 16gb phone it says zero photos and zero videos. I only have 10 applications and 606 songs. It seems the photos are still on the device as the space is being used but i cant access them. Any idea or suggestions will help. Thanks

I i backup from current state would it not backup without the photos. Maybe I should just restore from the last backup posible and this should have all photos until then. But before i restore from backup I wish i could just access the photos. I don't understand in the first place how they all deleted, and secondly why iphone still recognizes the space being used. This is such a glitch, which is very frustrating. i wish someone at apple can give me more insight....

Taking a still from a video

I have loaded some video clips from my digital camera into iPhoto, and would like to select and extract some single still frames. I don't understand the advice about red lines on browsers and so on when i feed this idea into "Help". Please can anyone tell me if and how it can be done?

What is your iPhoto version? Early iMovie versions (before iMovie 9) could extract a still frames form a video, but the current iPhoto and iMovie cannot do this.
I am using Aperture's video editor to extract single frames from a video, but it would be bit expensive to upgrade to Aperture just for still frames.
if you do not need full resolution images - just the full screen size, simply view your video in full screen mode, advance the video to the frame you want and take a screenshot with (Shift+Comm+3). This wills save a photo to the Desktop.
Or use the professional version if QuickTime 7, if you have it. File > Export will save a still frame in ".pct" format.
Otherwise you will need third party apps; I have seen MPEG Streamclip recommended for this, but have not used it myself.

How do I make a photo from a video clip? I am a new Apple user and am using iMovie 11.

I have uploaded a video from my digital camera to iMovie. I want to create a photo from selected frames in the video. Not sure how to proceed. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

You can do this with a free App called MPEG Streamclip. For details see this link. Let me know if you get stuck installing MPEG Streamclip.

Taking A Still Photo From A Video Clip

How would I take a clip from one of my videos, and turn it into a still photo that can be edited and printed in iPhoto?

A still frame from an Event:
Put cursor at the frame you want, then right click (or command click) and select "Add Still Frame to Project".
The still frame will be added at the end of the Project.
A still frame from a Project:
Put cursor at the frame you want then right-click (or control-click) and select "Add Freeze Frame". The Freeze frame will be added after the clip.
In both cases:
Select the still frame (so the yellow band is around it).
Right-clicl (or control0click) and select "Reveal in Finder".
You will see a JPG file highlighted in the finder.
Drag this file and drop it on your iPhoto icon in the Dock.

How do I extract photos from a video?

I have some videos that I shot with my digital camera and brought into iphoto that I would like to make into some photos. How would I go about that? Thanks!

Play the movie in Quicktime Player and pause it at the frame you want a file of. Then use Screen Shots (see the System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts pane) or a 3rd party screen capture application to take a screen shot of the frame you want. That's the best resolution you'll be able to get, even with iMovie or other video application.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.
