can you print a picture from an .avi file? My digital camera was set to movie clips in error?.?

Answer 1

If you have a video editor, for example a movie maker software package, most will allow making a still of 1 frame.

However, the resolution of video clips is much less than normal stills, so the picture from the clip will be of low quality.

Sorry

Answer 2

You can use a video editor to scroll though the movie clip and choose the one frame you want.

If you cannot find one free or on your computer, play the movie on your computer, pause the movie, and press the "Print Screen" on your keyboard (assuming Windows computer). Then go to start > Programs/All Programs > Accessories > Paint, click edit at the top then paste it. If you want, you can click the rectangle button at the left, select only the part you want, go to edit > cut, file > new, then using your mouse pointer, move the pointer to the lower right corner of the white space (you may need to use the gray scrollbars to see it) until you see the mouse pointer turn into two diagonal arrows. At that point, click and drag the corner until it is as small as you can get it, then go up to edit > paste. The reason for doing this is to eliminate any "white border" around the image if you are going to print it.

As an inheiratant part of using a movie file instead of a picture file, though, there will be some quality loss, but if you must have that picture this is one way to do it.

Answer 3

Yes you can, but no it won't look good.

The reason is because a digital camera (I'm assuming you have what they call a DV camera) only has 480 lines of resolution. (P.S. Nerds will argue with me that arguably it only has 240 lines of resolution). In either case, 240 or 480 lines is not very much. A picture with that little information could only be made into a photo that is 2" high -- say, 2inches x 4 inches -- which is a photo that would be useful to nobody.

Above 2" high, the picture would print out with atrociously bad quality.

If, however, you are still interested in printing it, do the following: playback the avi file on your computer:

1. Pause the file exactly where you want the picture to encompass.

2. Press and on your keyboard simultaneously.

3. Open Photoshop or Microsoft Paint or similar photo editing software.

4. Select "Edit > Paste" to paste the snapshot into Photoshop / Microsoft Paint / etc.

5. Save to JPEG and print at your favorite digital photo processor. Prepare to be disappointed in its quality.

Answer 4

feels like the old physician shaggy dog tale. affected individual: physician, it hurts after I flow my arm like this. physician: properly, do not try this. i don't think of it became meant that you reload video clips back onto the cardboard and performance them playable on your digicam, notwithstanding, you may attempt to work out in the experience that your digicam has settings for treating the SD card as a disc pressure truly than a digicam storage gadget (or inspite of they call it). If it does, you may try that disc pressure placing.
