Capturing Still Frames in iMovie

Video Transcript

Hi everybody, my name is Matt and I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. Alright, another thing you can do in iMovie is if you want to capture a frame from one of your clips all you have to do is go to the frame you want to capture and if you go up to edit and go down to create still frame it's going to take that frame and put into your clips up here and from there you can click, drag and drop it back on to your time line. You can stretch it out and make it as long or as short as you want. But, if you noticed, when I click play it's just going to play the one frame. If you right and go to edit photo settings you will notice that you can not add the Ken Burns effect this way. That's because it saves it out to a dv format. If you wanted to add the effects like we did before to this what your going to have to do is if you go to frame you want to capture come up to file and go down to save frame, you can save that frame as a Jpeg or a pix. In most instances you can just Jpeg and can save it as what ever file you want to unto your desktop. Then click, drag and drop back into your clips and from there you can add the effects to your screen cap
