Can I extract selected times frames from a 500 frames movie?

[Guadalupe]

Hello,
I have a file that contains 500 frames and I can open it as a movie in Image J. I need to create a time series using only 4 selected frames from this movie and I was wondering if there is a way to extract the selected frames from the stack? so far what I did with shorter movies is to convert stack to images and close the ones I do not need but with 500 frames this seems quite inconvenient... Is there any way to do it in a more automatized way?

Thank you very much!

Hi Guada,

You can use Image -> Stacks -> Tools -> Make Substack and put in the frame numbers (or range, like frame 100-105) you want.  

Image-> Duplicate with duplicate stack checked and the same frame range put in the box will also work.

Best,
Christine

Hi Guada,

If the frames you want don't follow each other in series you could duplicate the individual frames (Image > Duplicate), close the original stack and make your movie
