freeze frame export options?

[Di Hansen]

I'm using PRE10 on an iMac and am attempting to export a freeze frame as a de-interlaced, high quality jpeg image. Where are the advanced export options (for freeze frames) in PRE 10?

I utilized this export option frequently in the past...using PRE7 on my PC. I am hoping the export options are somewhere in PRE10 (MAC version) and I am just not finding them.

Please advise. Thank you.

In version 10, use Share/Computer/Still Image. You've got more control here.

As I point out in our books, though, Adobe strangely doesn't offer the option to create a square pixel image in this Share destination, so you have to go into the Advanced settings and create one.

In the Advanced settings, click the chain link so that the height and width aren't constrained. Then, if you're working with 4:3 standard def, set it to 640x480 pixels; if you're working with widescreen standard def, set it to 855x480; if you're working with hi-def, set it for 1920x1080. Then set Pixel Aspect Ratio to square (1.0) pixels. You'll then be able to save this as a permanent preset.

There's no way that I've found to de-interlace the image in Premiere Elements though. But if you open the still image in Photoshop Elements, you can find the option to deinterlace it under Filter/Video.

Thank you so much, Steve! Got it!

I've read the other books you've authored and had a feeling I should have ordered the one about PRE 10! I even took it out of my cart...

Nice to know this answer.

I'm trying to figure out just the opposite, how to keep PRE10 from de-interlacing a snapshot or a share to an image (jpeg). What PRE is doing is taking either the upper or lower field and doubling it, while throwing out the other field. The image has only half the vertical detail as the original.

According to the Premiere Elements 10 help, you set the field options for the clip on the timeline to deinterlace then export the frame: See: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premiereelements/using/WS09e4b3c48f3a79fc19b622510385d4355c-7de2.html. It's been that way since at least version 7, probably earlier.
