exporting stills
Hello everyone
I have a client who wants screen stills from a corporate video I edited, when I go to export the grabs the stills that have a lot of movement (either camera movement or objects in the frame moving) are a little fuzzy, where there is no movement the stills look fine, I was wondering is there anything I can do to export a sharp image, have tried deinterlacing etc, the footage is uncompressed 8bit digi beta..thanks in advance

Sarah,
Unfortunateeely, no, there’s nothing that will fix that.

Sarah,
Actually there is… I use a proprietary software program that samples pixels from 1 or more frames and creates hi-res deiterlaced stills that can be used for print or other purposes. In many cases, not all, it will create very acceptable stills by sampling more than one frame where movement in any single frame is unacceptable. I’ll be happy to perform a test for anyone who might like to see how great the results can be on there own footage. Just send a very short clip of about 10 to 12 frames in QT format to me at info@drwfilms.com and I’ll get the result back to you in 24-hours.

David,
Praytell what software that would be?

It is called “Papparazi” by RedHawkVision, Inc.

Chris,
If I told ya I’d have to kill ya… And Christopher guessed wrong, though I understand Paparazzi does similar things quite well, albeit at a very high price. I charge very reasonable fees for this service on a per picture basis rather than by time, and it can take lots of trial and effort to get each pic just right. Its not exactly profit center…
