I-movie still to i-photo

My camera's bust, it was crap anyway - but I would really like to be able to e-mail a still photo from an i-movie.

Today I wanted a photo of me and somebody to e-mail to somebody else, so I went into a recent unfinished i-movie project and clicked on import/i-sight and took roughly 30 seconds of footage of us smiling, etc...

Once done, I used the playhead to freeze on the best shot then went to 'CREATE STILL FRAME' before dragging it onto my desktop and into i-photo but it didn't work. Dragged it into pictures and didn't work, it apears as the Quicktime icon and title.

This must be possible, I know I just need a litle assistance from al you out there who have a little more experience than I.

Thanks in advance,

Cameron

Just freeze the movie to the still you want to capture, then press Shift+Command+4 and a cross hair will appear.

Just drag over the still to highlight it fully and when you release the mouse a picture will be taken.

An image of the still will appear on your desktop somewhere and you can email it to whomever you please.....

If it doesn't work just post back here....

I nearly had to ask which key was command, but I guessed it was the 'apple' key and it has worked.

Pulse-8 you are a diamond and should are paths ever cross I owe you a beer.

A diamond in the rough...lol

Glad to help....

Once you have created your still frame. Select your frame, then under the file drop down menu, choose save frame. That will create a jpeg file, that you can bring into iPhoto.

Thanks again - that is initially what I was trying but I was wrongly choosing 'Create Still Frame' - thanks again you both.
