Why does the iphone 3GS break videos into frames if it wont let you save a frame as a photo?

photo editing apps iphone 3 image

User

Im hoping that someone will tell me im wrong and there is a way to do it. It just seems strange that the phone is capable of breaking the video into frames but there is no option to save the frame as a photo. Im sure there are additional apps and jailbreaking etc.... not really interested, the phone should do it as standard.

Hello User,

that's a pretty great question.
Here is the solution:

although the iPhone 3gs natively takes spectacular video, you cannot simply take a frame grab but there is an easy solution that involves no jailbreaking or hacking.

Step 1:
select the video you want a frame from in your camera roll and turn your phone on its side to enter landscape mode (so it's wider than tall) the video automatically fills the entire iPhone screen.

Step 2:
use the scrub bat up top to skip to the frame you want to capture. Pause the video on this point

Step 3:
tap on the screen anywhere to make the video controls dissapear and all you can see just the video.

Step 4:
hold the sleep/wake button on top of the phone and then press the home button on the front of the iPhone and a screenshot is taken and saved to the camera roll.

You now had a still image of the frame on the movie you want!

I isn't the same an iPhone photo though the resolution is less and it's in PNG format but unless you get the photo on a computer and use a professional video editing program it's the closest you can get.

Also the iPhone video is only 640x480 resolution so it won't create anymore than a VGA resKution still from a video.

How do I make an entire picture visible on facebook? without having to click on it?

I'm trying to post a photo to my timeline, but whenever I do, the image is too big to see all of it without clicking on it. It only shows half the picture and it appears huge on the newsfeed instead of a I already resized it through one of my photo apps but when I post, it still looks the same. Frustrating! Btw I'm trying to do this on my iPhone. It seems there should be a way to do this.

Answer
To edit the privacy settings for photo albums you've posted:

1.Go to your profile (timeline) and click on the Photos section

2.Click See All

3.Use the audience selector tool under each album to control who can see your photos
A few important notes:


â The privacy setting for your Cover Photos album is always public.


â If there's a photo of you in an album that someone else posted, only the person who posted it can change the album privacy. If you don't like the photo, you can remove your tag or escalate the issue.


â If you share a high resolution photo or album with someone, that person will be able to download those photos.


â Unlike other photo albums you create, you can choose an audience for individual photos in your Wall Photos and Mobile Uploads albums. Each time you post a new photo, you pick who sees that photo using the audience selector.
