Ways for a matte
A friend of mine suggested importing one frame onto Photoshop to use as the base to build up my matte around for my graduated ND.
So now the stupid question: how do you export one single frame from Avid Xpress?
Perhaps this way we can go one step at the time until I learn how to work with these things.

load your footage into the source monitor and plop on the frame you want to export and i believe you go to clip freeze frame and set a duration, after that, select the freeze frame and “export” out as a “graphic” and you can then choose the format. in your case select photoshop. that is it.
hope that helps -
When I try to export the single frame, I keep getting an “Illegal instruction error”, even if the settings seem to be fine.
What may be happening?

never got that message. are you right clicking on the new freeze frame motion effect clip and then choosing export?

Yes. Then I pick a graphic output, Photoshop or any other, leaving on the buttons the Help asks to be. And keep getting that Error message.
It seems to refuse to output a graphic file, because it accepts all the other ones.
Is it something I am doing wrong?

carlos…
just mark an in+out around your frame, right click, export. Check the options again.
use marks -enable
color levels- doen’t matter in this instance -
That is what I am doing, and I get the “Illegal instruction” message.
