Anyone have advice/ tips for DIY framing rectangular prints in oval frames?
Q. Have a large stairway that really needs some decor. Have chosen some beautiful prints but all are rectangular. The space would certainly be more visually pleasing if oval frames were used. Problem is, professional custom framing will cost an arm & a leg (multiple times the price of the prints themselves). Have found reasonably priced ready made frames for DIY but would like a clean & professional look. Any help would be appreciated.

A. If you look around, you can find pre-made frames that are oval, with the white paper backing and a rectangular opening for the print. If you cant find one, they are simple to make. 1) buy a larger than you need oval frame 2) buy some thick white (or whatever color) cardstock( larger than the size of your print) 3) Cut a whole in the cardstock for your opening for your print 4) cut the 'outside' of the cardstock to fit in your oval frame Easy way to do this would be to take out the backing of the frame, and trace onto the cardstock for cutting the outline. Then, on the back of the cardstock, trace your print and cut out your opening. I hope this makes sense, it really is pretty simple to do, and can be very inexpensive, plus, you'll… [cont.]

How do I convert a video into its individual frames?
Q. I need to break a video down into individual frames. I need every frame as an individual image file. Any programs for this, especially free, open source ones? It looks like the Area 61 player can only save one picture at a time by hand. I want it to save every single frame automatically so I don't have to go and click for every frame.

A. I used this in the past. Area61 VideoBrowser Area61 VideoBrowser is a multimedia player that plays back MPEG/AVI/WMV/RM files in normal/fast/slow/frame-by -frame/repeat-loop/specia l effects playing modes. You can also get shapshot images of any size from a movie file. Every frame of the selected portion of the movie file can be converted to JPG/PNG/BMP images. SHIFT with mouse dragging allows you to crop snapshot images.

Where can I find good quality wholesale frames for resale?
Q. I'm working on a small business start up, the focus are poster prints and personalized signs. My biggest hold up has been finding decent quality frames for the prints. I've tried a few places online but the quality is bad - or when the quality is good they don't have enough variety or stock because they really aren't meant for resale. Any suggestions?

A. I found a few sites that might help you out. I would also try and contact local frame/art shops, they might be interested in a partnership/discount for another local business. Another positive about that would be the possibility of seeing some of the frames in person.
