What's the simplest way to export a single frame from an animated gif as gif?

i have an animated gif and wish to save a single frame as a non-animated gif.
in the past i've been achieving this by deleting all the frames i don't wish to export and deleting them before exerting, this seems very clumsy though so i figure there's a more sensible solution in there somewhere, but where?

Thanks, Bill! Actually version 9 looks a little clearer than that, as it has two bold clear white paddles to mark the edge of the work area.
I was a little frustrated at first, because whatever I did, it still took a year and exported the entire video.
Then:
I caught sight of this teeny tiny box waiting for a tick from me, which said:
Share Work area Bar Only
We have lift-off 
Thanks again. So much quicker than all that deleting ahnd hoping you don't accidentally say "yes" when prompted to save changes!

    There is no automatic way to generate XML documents from an arbitary set of relational tables using the information contained in an XML Schema. Typically the easiest way to generate XML from relational data is to use the SQL/XML operators (XMLElement, XMLAGG, XMLAttribtues, XMLForest). There are many examples of using these operators in the forums You can validate the generated XML against the XML Schema by registering the XML Schema with XML DB and then using the XMLType.SchemaValidate() method

  • What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server?

    Hello MS,
    I would like to export all tables from Oracle 11.2 to MS SQL Server 2012 R1.
    Using the tool "Microsoft SQL Server Migration Assistant v6.0 for Oracle" did not work for me because there are too many warnings and errors regarding the schema creation (MS cannot know it because they are not the schema designer). My idea is
    to leave/skip the schema creation to the application designer/supplier and instead concentrate on the Oracle data export and MS SQL data import.
    What is the easiest way to export all tables data from Oracle to MS SQL Server quickly?
    Is it:
    - the „MS SQL Import and Export Data“ Tool
    - the “MS SQL Integration Services” Tool
    - not Oracle dump *.dmp format because it is a propritery binary format
    - flat file *.csv (delimited format)
    Thanks!

    Hi lingodingo,
    If you want to directly export all tables from Oracle database to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Import and Export Wizard. Because you just need to follow the wizard with GUI, this is the easiest way.
    If you want to make some modification for the tables‘ data before loading to SQL Server, I suggest you use SQL Server Integration Services package. For more details, please refer to the following similar thread:

  • What is the simplest way to export Address Book into a spreadsheet (Numbers) and get all the information including physical address?

    Can anyone help with this?  I've exported the address book, but all the information does not appear.  I've expanded out the columns but still don't get the home address.
    Also, formatting is an issue with phone numbers.  Not all phone numbers were entered the same way in the Address Book.  Is there a way to change the entire column with a particular cell format?

    Oh, I meant Leopard does do more than Tiger Server.
    I don't know enough about Server, even less abut Syncing.
    SL is to new, not enough time to iron out the kinks yet imho.
    One day SL will be better than Leo, but...
    I'd ask over in server...

  • What is the simplest way to automatically move all photos from iPhone to MacOS but not from MacOS to iPhone?

    I just want my phone photos to go to my desktop, but I don't want the desktop photos to go to the phone.  What is the easiest setup?
    Thx

    They won't.
    Make sure you are signed into iCloud with Photo Stream enabled on both OS X & iOS.
    OS X: System Preferences > iCloud > check Photos > Options > check My Photo Stream (Shared too if you choose) > OK
    iOS: Settings > iCloud > Photos > My Photo Stream - on (Shared too if you choose)
    In iPhoto > Preferences > iCloud > check My Photo Stream (and Photo Sharing if you choose) then check Automatic Import. Leave Automatic Upload unchecked.

  • Simple beginner's question: What's the quickest way to export a single clip?

    I've started using Premier Elements because this was taking too long on my previous editor.
    I'm a piano teacher who uses video as one of the aids for my pupils, and I often record a whole book in one sitting, announcing the titles of the pieces as I go, then clipping my announcmeents (and false starts, swearing, etc) when editing, and adding text titles instead. These are then uploaded to pupils'own poages on my teaching website.
    However, many of my pupils want to work from single clips.
    My previous method was to keep deleting everything from the project except the clip I want, processing that, then opening the project again withut saving. This seems to me a complete waste of my time if I can export one clip at a time.
    I've only been using Premier Elements one day, so maybe there's something obvius I've missed! Someone, please tell me there's a quicker way than what I'm doing! There might be up to 40 clips in one video

    Thanks, Bill! Actually version 9 looks a little clearer than that, as it has two bold clear white paddles to mark the edge of the work area.

  • What is the simplest way to invoke an ODI scenario from a webpage?

    Hi folks
    I have a requirement where I want number of people to be able to run certain ODI scenarios when they wish.
    Now I don't wish to roll out ODI Operator to these users.
    I'd like to create a simple web page, with a few links/buttons that will run ODI scenarios.
    Now I understand I can set up a Web application server (eg Weblogic), deploy Axis2 to this and invoke scenarios as web services etc. But this is prohibitively expensive from a licensing point of view. (And open source app server is not an option).
    I do have an apache server where I can host a simple web page. Is there a way I can get this to invoke scenarios? Or some other simple way I haven't considered?
    Thanks for looking

    ODI Web Services. You can broadcast your scenarios as web services. Here are some good reading.

  • What is the best way to get a single bookmark from my Laptop to iPhone?

    Also, is there specific HTML formatting that makes it easy for iPhone to pick a telephone number out of a web page?

    Hi Bill,
    If you sync your bookmarks then the one you want will be on your iPhone. If you don't sync your bookmarks I would imagine you would have to enter it in the web browser on your phone and then add it to your bookmarks right on the phone.
    I don't know about the HTML, but quite frequently if you click on a phone number on a web page, the phone will ask you if you if you want to call it. If you do, then you can add it to your contacts.

  • What is the simplest way to make a movie from BufferedImages?

    I have a 3d rendered animation from which I can grab BufferedImages of each frame. What is the simplest way I can create a movie from these images?
    I've seen the JpegImagesToMovie.java file and not only is it suprisingly overcomplicated, it requires me to change the code so that I can get images from memory rather than from files.
    Is there some simple way of creating a movie which requires a few statements? I'm also prepared to use QuickTime for Java. I don't care about the format, since I can just use any video converter to convert it to my desired video format.

    I recently came up with a simplified JpegImagesToMovie program. It generates QuickTime movies with a single video track output as a file. Input is a series of jpegs (currently as a list of file names, but easily modified to a take any form of jpeg data.) Since the compression used by the movie is JPEG, if you have an uncompressed image buffer, you'll need to convert that into jpeg data bytes with some quality setting. (Since its a movie file, go with something low if you have a lot of similar images.) This will even run without a full install of jmf--no native code is called (as far as I could tell..)
    Here is the source code, sorry about the formatting!

    * This program takes a list of JPEG image files and converts them into a

    * This was based on Sun's JMF Sample Code JpegImagesToMovie.java 1.3 01/03/13
    * This code is an attempt to reduce the complexity to demonstrate a very basic
    * JPEG file list to movie generator. It does not use a Manager or Processor

    * advantage of this simplified class is that you can just link it with the

    * stubs, use google. You'll need PermissionID.java and PolicyEngine.java.)
    * I tried to get it to generate AVI files without success.
    * These output files are could use further compression.
    * A Vector of jpeg image paths was one way to do this--the appropriate
    * methods can be overwritten to grab images from another source
    * --zip file, http, etc.

  • What is the simplest way to create slide show

    What is the simplest way to create a slide show ?  (Premiere Elements 12)

    saploe
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on? Premiere Elements 12 Mac does not have a Slideshow option in its Elements Organizer 12. So, that situation would not yield the two choices of creating the slideshow in the Elements Organizer and taking it into Premiere Elements OR doing the whole project solely in Premiere Elements.
    What is going into this slideshow....photos (how many, original pixel dimensions), videos (formats and duration), etc?
    What is a description of your computer resources?
    How do you intent to export this slideshow...
    a. burn to DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc
    b. burn to AVCHD format on DVD disc
    c. burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc
    d. to file saved to the computer hard drive?
    We will customize a reply based on the information that you supply.

  • What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the S

    Hi All,
    We are BW 7.01 (EHP 1, Service Pack Level 7).
    As part of our BW project scope for our current release, we will be developing certain reports in BW, and for certain reports, the existing legacy reporting system based out of MS Access and the old version of Business Objects Release 2 would be used, with the needed data supplied from the BW system.
    What is the best way to export the data out of BW into a flat file on the Server on regular intervals using a process chain?
    Thanks in advance,
    - Shashi

    Hello Shashi,
    some comments:
    1) An "open hub license" is required for all processes that extract data from BW to a non-SAP system (including APD). Please check with your SAP Account Executive for details.
    2) The limitation of 16 key fields is only valid when using open hub for extracting to a DB table. There's no such limitation when writing files.
    3) Open hub is the recommended solution since it's the easiest to implement, no programming is required, and you don't have to worry much about scaling with higher data volumes (APD and CRM BAPI are quite different in all of these aspects).
    For completeness, here's the most recent documentation which also lists other options:

    What is the best way to export a cutterline from photoshop?
    Wie exportiere ich am am besten einen Schnittlinie aus Photoshop? Ich bekomme von einem Wort immer nur den ersten Buchstaben exportiert, obwohl alles gerastert auf einer Ebene liegt.
    Thank you! Vielen Dank!

    What are you talking about exactly?
    If you need to export vector data Photoshop is not the first choice but if you have Type Layers (without faux styles), Vector Masks or Paths it is possible.
    alles gerastert auf einer Ebene
    does not seem to make sense in this context though.

  • What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder via a scheduled job?

    What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder, when the export process is a scheduled job?

    You can't directly, as scheduled jobs can only export to server-side data stores, which can only write to the landing area. You'll need to use an external script (e.g. batch file) to move the file from the landingarea after export. You can use an external task in the scheduled job to invoke the script.

    What is the best way to export a slideshow.I like to view  the show trough AppleTV on my television.

    You don't really give us a lot of information to work with, and assume we know something about this mdeia player. The only way to get the slideshow to a media player is to export it from iPhoto. To where? Depends on the media player. Will iTunes work? Depends on the media player. Does the media player have a DVD drive? If so, then burning it to DVD with iDVD will work, but it will be standard def not HD.
