Tutorial: How to snatch the iTunes video artwork (Mac).
A couple of people were asking me how you snatch the iTunes artwork from rented or bought movies, so I thought that I would make a quick easy tutorial for people, so they will know how too. And then once you have the artwork, you can submit it to my other sharing thread, found here: iTunes Official Artwork: Movies, TV Shows and Short Films
NOTE: This does work for any type of artwork, but i'll just be using a movie artwork.
Step 1:
Before we do anything, you must find the movie that you want the artwork from (I will be using School of Rock). Once you have found the movie, right click the movie and click 'Get Info' at the top of the list.
Step 2:
When you click 'Get Info' a small window will pop up. Click on the 'Artwork' tab. Below will be a small thumbnail of your artwork, highlight the image (It should look like the one below).
Step 3:
When your movie artwork is highlighted, on your keyboard click 'Command+C' like shown below.
Step 4:
Go to the dock or application's list, and open up 'Preview'.
Step 5:
Once you open it up, go to the menu bar and click 'File>New From Clipboard'.
Step 6:
Your movie artwork will show up large. When it does, go to the menu bar and click 'File>Save As...'
Step 7:
A new window will pop up, with saving options. First, name the file so that you can easily identify the artwork. Second, choose the format 'Jpeg' (You must pick Jpeg). Third, use the little scroll thing to choose change the file size (Which also changes the quality). The file size displays at the bottom. Try and keep the scroll thing near 'Best', but the file size must be below 1.5mb. Once done, click 'Save'.
Step 8:
You file then will save to your desktop in a Jpeg format. And now it's an image file. That's how you snatch iTunes artwork!
