Imovie -50 problem

Hello,
I have made a video in Imovie containing, fragment of films, photo's, text, music. Then published it
on Youtube. I succeeded. Then I made soms changes in the texttitels and wanted to share it on
Youtube again. Now I get the message:
Het project kan niet op publicatie worden voorbereid omdat er zich een fout heeft voorgedaan. (-50)
The project can not be prepaired for publishing because a error had occured (-50)
Anyone know what problem (-50) is and can give me a advice?
Thnx
Daphne

thanks - last wish .. opps, that sounds weird
if your time allows doing so:
download MpegStreamclip
open that file
cmd-f (=fixes timecode errors...)
choose Export Quicktime Movie/codec Apple Prores 422... if not listed, choose Apple Intermediate... keep other settings untouched.
try to use THIS version, and try to export again...
as mentioned above: I assume those non-standard-videos as main source for -50errors ....
would be a nice, cost-free fix for that ......

  • New iMovie '08 problems -- FireWire or new device issues?

    Not sure if this is an iMovie '08 problem or an OS X problem. Here's the story --
    Prior camcorder was a Panasonic, MiniDV format. Hooks up nicely with iMovie, via FireWire (400). I also have a WD My Book (500 GB) device to store the raw data (Event Library), which connects via FireWire (800). In the past, all three devices (Panasonic, My Book and MacBook Pro) all played nicely together.
    Fast forward to now. Bought a new camcorder (problems with the Panasonic). It's a Canon ZR950 (MiniDV). With iMovie running, I first connect the WD device which is successfully mounted. I then hookup the new Canon and within a few seconds I get an error about a "device not cleanly shut down" (or words to that effect). Odd .... and when I try to connect to my new camcorder, I get a "no camera connected" error.
    Rebooted, retried .... same issues. Another time I first connected the Canon and this time, iMovie successfully sees it. I go to connect the My Book and then the camcorder drops out.
    So, it seems I can have only one FireWire device connected at a time, which is odd since I didn't have this issue with the old Panasonic.
    Help!

    Interesting that you based your purchase on CR magazine because I too use it like a bible. However, when it comes to video cameras, I think they are way off base when not considering the editing side of video making that goes along with any camcorder. Who shoots video simply to plug it into a TV for playback?? If they were doing responsible reporting on this particular subject, they would also include computer capture and editing details in the reviews. Lots of the new format cams don't even work with Macs and the ones that do generally give lesser quality after conversion than what you can still get with tape. At least you made the right decision there!

  • How to fix iMovie 08 problems under 10.5.3

    iMovie problems under Mac OS X 10.5.3 linked to color system
    After updating to Mac OS X 10.5.3, users may have problems with launching iMovie. For most, iMovie refuses to opens, and the usual fix of removing the iMovie preferences, caches, and other iMovie settings files, and then relaunching the program does not appear to help. One user reinstalled the program with no luck resolving the problem:
    "I have the same problem. I've tried to reinstall the imovie, but it still does not work. I have imported a lot of video in iMovie. Please help!!! "
    For other users, while iMovie would start, they could not open any projects or use the program.
    One user, while not initially affected by this problem, found that after changing the color calibration of his Apple Cinema display iMovie suddenly wouldnt open just as described by others; however, upon reverting to a previous color profile iMovie became functional again. This indicates the problem lies somewhere in computer's color system configuration; and changing color settings seems to have fixed the problem for all affected users.
    Fixes
    Change the screen colors Go to the "Displays" system preferences and change the color output of the screen (either from thousands to millions, or vice versa) and relaunch iMovie. Somehow changing the display color depth modifies the color system so iMovie properly loads.
    Calibrate the display While for some users calibrating the display resulted in the iMovie error, for others the problem was fixed by re-calibrating the display. Calibrating the display can be an involved process, but it is recommended to ensure your screen outputs the most accurate colors as possible. This option is available in the "Displays" system preferences under the "Color" tab.
    More:
    Correcting the problem by changing profiles suggests a permissions problem which repairing permissions won't fix. Use the terminal command
    ls -al /Library/ColorSync/Profiles
    Compare the permissions on the working and non-working profiles. If they are different, correct the non-working instance.

    Another fix for iMovie launch problems We previously reported that, after updating to Mac OS X 10.5.3, users may have problems with launching iMovie. For most, iMovie refuses to opens, and the usual fix of removing the iMovie preferences, caches, and other iMovie settings files, and then relaunching the program does not appear to help. One user reinstalled the program with no luck resolving the problem.
    We noted a few fixes for the issue, including changing scren colors and calibrating the display. Now some users have reported that temporarily adjusting screen resolution can allow iMovie to properly launch. The resolution can be changed back to normal after the update.
    "Neither suggested trick worked for me. However I temporarily changed the resolution to 1024x768 and then launched imovie. I then went back to my native resolution of 1280x800 (white ibook) and now imovie always launches. Thanks for the tips"

  • Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie.  Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me.  I tried turning off all my firewall

    Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie.  Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me.  I tried turning off all my firewall settings.?  IDK if I'm even doing that right.  Can anyone help out here?

    You don't need Handbrake for that if it is your own DVD.
    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle.
    a DVD is in a compresed format called mpeg2, which is standard across all DVDs. This is what is known as a 'final delivery format' and is not suitable for editing. Because is is compressed, a 4.7GB DVD can hold a two hour movie (dual layer DVDs twice that), whereas the DV stream from a video camera, which runs at about 13GB per hour, is not compressed and IS intended for editing.
    In other words you have to 'reverse engineer' the DVD back to an uncompressed format in ordfer to edit it. There is a penalty for doing this in terms of slight quality loss, but it is one you can live with.
    When you have your DVD as an icon on your desktop, double-click it, and it will open to reveal a TS-Folder containing a number of various files, some called VOB. These are the constituent parts of any video DVD.
    When you have downloaded and installed mpegStreamclip, and purchased and installed the Apple mpeg2 plugin, open mpegStreamclip and drag the entire TS Folder into its window. Then using the various menus available to you (just explore them and you will get the hang of it) ask it to convert to DV.
    That DV file, which will be many times larger than the original TS Folder, and which can a while to create (be patient - make coffee or prune the roses!) is what you can now import into iMovie for editing etc.
    When you have finished doing that, you then have to turn the project back into a DVD.
    mpegStreamclip can be downloaded from here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

  • Update on imovie 5 problems

    I'm starting a new thread. Sorry but I'm getting lost as to whom I'm talking to & what I've written ...who's on 1st what's on 2nd etc.
    So the big news is ... On this 3rd total re-install of Tiger I've added something else to the install.
    Classic install. And only Slick plugins with their updates.
    It's early days but NUMBER 5 is Still alive! No audio clicks between clips, faster response from 5 . This is on a 1hour 40min project which has become the test bed. Faster response from firewire output to T.V. monitor also is noted. No crashes after 30min of working with constant changeing of effects & transitions. Haven't tried titles yet.
    SO... I updated to 5.02 & Quicktime 7.02. Everthing remains stable so far. Again as before I can see no obvious benefit in these upgrades but I'm only looking at imovie so far.
    So tell me, those of you with problems do you have Classic installed? Is Classic the answer? Do I "sound" desparate?
    where did i put my pills.....
    Mark

    Can't remember the exact wording of what you refer to-"Install Mac OS 9 Disk Driver". You cannot boot in OS9 anymore. Only Classic.
    The note below the "Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed" checkbox in Disk Utility says this:
    "Select this option to use this device on a computer running Mac OS 9. This option does not affect Classic."
    My Mac can boot in Mac OS 9 as well as Mac OS X, which may be why I'm offered the checkbox. Perhaps the checkbox isn't offered on Macs that don't boot in 9?
    It had occurred to me you may have turned on that feature for the first time. But if you can't boot in OS 9, I suppose not.
    It is certainly possible that reformatting the drive might have contributed to eliminating an iMovie playback problem, I suppose. Hard to say.

  • IMovie 08 - Problems referencing audio files.

    I have just finished creating a new movie in iMovie 08. The problem I am having is iMovie can't find the audio files I used as a soundtrack for the movie. These audio files are located in my iTunes library. The catch is that all of the music in my iTunes library is stored on another computer, so all of the music files are referenced.
    The problem began when I had to turn off the other computer for updates, while I still had iMovie open. Mistakenly I forgot to eject the other computer as it was connected as a server to my Mac. Of course iMovie can no longer find the audio files because they are offline.
    Well, when I turned the other computer back on and remounted it as a server, iMovie would no longer play the audio files in my movie. I can still access them through the music tab in iMovie, and they play perfectly.
    I have even restarted iMovie and my Mac multiple times.
    I really don't want to have to redo all of the music for my movie. If anyone can tell me how to "re-reference" audio files in iMovie, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Thanks!

    Try post on the iMovie forum is my best advice.

  • IMovie audio problems when burning in Toast 6

    Hi,
    i've tried to burn an imovie project in idvd 5 but i get 'the error #-1 was reported' like most people have been and i've tried loads of things suggested to fix it with no joy.
    I then sent the imovie project to toast titanium 6 where it burned fine. However, when i watched it i noticed that although toast had picked up all the audio (both dv audio and aiff), it did not pick up all the volume adjustments during the movie. how annoying! for example: i have an aiff clip that fades into a movie clip with the sound gradually going down but Toast picks up the sound staying at the same level. this also happens with volume adjustments in a DV file.
    Any suggestions why this happens / how i can fix it?
    Cheers,
    Andy

    Andy,
    This question is really in the wrong place - this is the iDVD '08 forum and not the iDVD 5 forum.
    From the description of your problem using Toast, it sounds like you didn't actually export a DV video movie out of iMovie.
    Export a DV video movie out of iMovie (it will run 13 GB per hour) and play it back with the QuickTime Player to see if the audio settings you made are really there. If this movie plays OK, you can bring IT into iDVD or Toast for turning it into a DVD.
    If the DV video movie you created STILL has audio problems in the QuickTime Player, ask you question about THAT issue in the correct iMovie forum.

  • Problem Adding Audio to iMovie (Filevault Problem?)

    Ok... I made an iMovie project when I returned from a trip.  I then turned on Filevault in Lion for full disk encryption (I've been waiting for this feature because I need it for my business).  I went back to make some edits in my video... and iMovie is now behaving differently.  When I add a song from iTunes, it won't play... not even a peep.  I can move and adjust the songs currently in the video but any new tracks get silence.
    I can play the songs in iTunes and even in the lower pane of iMovie... just not in the video itself.  Is this a problem with iMovie or is Filevault causing this?  Anyone know how to overcome this?

    Update... I turned off Filevault.  No change.  Added iTunes tracks still don't play.

  • IMovie sound problem - a solution discovery

    After downloading a video in iMovie and completing all the processes steps that I wanted to include, I tried to burn this project in iDVD. A problem arose with the sound when I played the iDVD preview. The sound was grabbled and distorted. I contacted AppleCare and got several possible solutions, but none of these solve my sound problem. I even tried to send it back to my camcorder and use my older G4 computer to make a DVD. However, the program could not be transferred to my camcorder either.
    Now a strange discovery was found. On the sound line in iMovie (where I had recorded my voice program) was a small yellow dot. Yes, very small yellow dot. I wondered why this was there and clicked on it. The dot move up to the top bar where my video clips were stored. I thought maybe this had changed things, so I rendered the program to iDVD again and previewed it. The sound problem was gone. I successfully burn the program to DVD and found it was okay to view. I have shared this discovery with AppleCare and was asked to share this information in this discussion forum. I hope that others may benefit from solving a similar problem. I still don't know how the tiny yellow dot got on my sound line. If somebody knows, it could be interesting and helpful to avoid this problematic yellow dot. Good luck - Seapark36

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions!
    Thanks for mentioning this business of the "..very small yellow dot".
    This sounds like a 'Bookmark'. Bookmarks can be placed on the Timeline, where your video plays, along the bottom of the computer's iMovie display, by purposely - or accidentally! - pressing the Apple key and 'B'. Bookmarks let you jump instantly back and forth through your movie (..to the next Bookmark..) by jumping forwards to the next one with Apple and ']', or backwards to the previous one with Apple (..also known as the 'Command' key..) and left-square-bracket '['.
    They have, though, been known to interfere with proper playback when exporting (..'Sharing'..) to tape or to iDVD, so Karl's advice has been to delete all bookmarks when the editing's finished and just before 'Sharing'. All bookmarks can be instantly deleted by going to Markers on the top line menu and clicking Delete all Bookmarks.... (An individual bookmark can be deleted, once you've jumped to it, by pressing AltAppleB.)
    The little diamond-shaped dots look almost identical to Chapter Marker diamond dots, which you can create by clicking the 'iDVD' tab at the lower-right beneath the right-hand 'pane' of the iMovie window and then clicking 'Add Chapter'. That creates a chapter marker to separate a particular section of your movie when it plays back from a DVD you've burned.
    The Bookmarks and Chapter Markers seem (..to me!..) to have a very slightly different colour - maybe one's green and one's yellow: I don't know; I'm red-green colour blind, so I can't tell yellow from green, or green from red!
    So perhaps you accidentally created a bookmark by unintentionally tapping the Apple key and then the letter 'B'. Removing it, and all other bookmarks, is generally acknowledged to smooth the process of exporting (..'Sharing'..) a movie project.
    Thanks for posting your observation, and reminding us about how important it is to delete bookmarks before exporting!

  • IMovies Quality problems..

    Hi All.. Looking for some help -
    Started to use iMovie to create a slideshow of pics and the various effects available but seem to be having some quality issues when i play back...
    when I'm chosing the titles (this is imovie '06) the examples look all crisp and of high quality, the same when I first import a picture. BUT
    If i then try and run the slideshow in either the demo box on screen or by making it full screen the quality is rubbish! Straight lines on pictures are all jagged and look bad quality - not at all like the original images, and the beginning title words look rubbish, not at all crisp like they were when I picked that style etc. If I change the colour of the words then on playback there is a white halo round the colour. Basically it looks really bad and poor quality
    What am I missing? The fact they come up crisp and nice to begin with then goes crap when i play back is vexing me.. I have the macbook with 2.16 processor. I have tried changing the quality in preferences up and down but no luck.
    Sorry for the long message and if this is a stupid question but I can't find the info in the help section.
    I had posted this in the iMovie help forum but it seems very quiet in there..
    Thank you for any help!
    Sam

    Try exporting and seeing how it looks.
    I'm no expert in iMovie, as I usually use FCP, but it seems like iMovie doesn't show full quality on it's playback window. Try an export, it may help diagnose the problem.

  • IMovie import problem

    I am suddenly unable to upload video from my Panasonic NV-GS320. My iMac only allows isight recording. Been OK up till now.I have tried changing the firewire cable and settings on the camera from playback to PC mode. Neither work. Anyone got any ideas what the problem might be?

    Hi
    *NO CAMERA or A/D-box*
    Cable
    • Are You sure that You are using the FireWire Cable - USB-Cable will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
    FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin (or 9-pin) FW one ?
    • Test another FW-Cable *very often the problem maker*.
    Camera
    • Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
    • Toogle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
    • Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
    • Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
    • Camera set in Playback mode - NOT Recording mode
    Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
    Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
    This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
    (Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
    everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
    A/D-box
    • Is the dip-switches set right ?
    • Set to same standard as recorded/editing eg NTSC 29.97fps or PAL 25fps
    • Try resetting it
    Connections
    • Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
    Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
    the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
    • FireWire-port - Can be re-setted by - Turn off Mac and disconnecting Mac from Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes
    Mac
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
    (Other hard disks don't count)
    I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
    after material is imported and edited.
    • Does Your Mac have a FireWire Port
    • White MacBooks - don't
    • MacBook-Air - don't
    if not then a few Mac’s has a PCM-CIA slot and there are FW-Cards that makes a FW-port this way
    else - NO SOLUTION
    Only option as I get it is either
    • Use another Mac to Capture material (to an external USB2 - Mac OS Extended formatted hard disk - or -
    • Change to another Camera that can be used with Your Mac (no there are no miniDV tape Cameras that can)
    • If Your Mac-Book has a PCM-CIA Card place - then there are FW-port-Cards and then
    You can import via this - but I've not seen this on more modern Macs. My PowerBook G4
    has one and this FW-Card-port works greatly.
    SoftWare
    • Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
    • Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
    • FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
    • Screen Saver - OFF
    • Energy Saver - OFF
    Using WHAT versions ? .
    • Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
    • QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
    • iMovie’08 (7.1.?), 09 or 11 ?
    • iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
    *Other ways to import Your miniDV tape*
    • Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
    but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
    • If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
    over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.

    Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
    I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.

  • Iphoto/Imovie Video problems

    I am haveing a problem using videoclips in iphoto 08 / Imovie 08...
    Tha videoclips are importet with no problem along with the photos as expected.
    When doubleclick the videoclips quixktime starts. But then it crashes and shuts down. It happens everytime i try to open a videoclip..?
    I am using a Casio EXILIM Card EX-S500 it is recording video in AVI (MPEG-4) Format - It shouldnt be a problem..
    At the same time the videoclips will not appear in Imovie..? But why..?
    What am I doing wrong, and what can be done....
    Janus

    janus:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to play the clips manually outside of iPhoto? Drag one to the desktop and try playing there. It's more likely a Quicktime issue than an iPhoto one.
    Have you been able to play those clips previously? When did the problem start, with what system and iPhoto versions?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • IMovie, resolution problem importing picture.

    Dear all,
    When I imprt pictures in iMovie the resolution of the picture became very low. Does somebody knows if there is any setting that allow the import of higher resolution picture? It seems to be a common problem. I've ask in an Apple store with no solution. Thanks for the help
    Regards

    Thanks but this does not clarify my question,
    just to be clear, I'm talking about pictures from iPhoto or from other. Is in iMovie present a setting to allow to have a hiher quality  of the imported photo or not?

  • Cannon GL2 - FCE 2 and iMovie Capture Problems

    Hello Hello
    I've read here that folks are having a tough time capturing with thier Cannon GL2. The device goes from NO problem to 'Can't intiate a capture because the device looses connectivity.
    I tried to find a common denominator to this problem, and it seems this post regarding Quick Time Files can help? Yes?
    Is this the main problem?
    Anyway I'm also having connectivity issues with both iMovie 6 HD, and FCE 2

    Hi Tom - Thanx for your reply!
    Well, yes I have (as my profile indicates), a G5 1.8 Gig, currently with an external Lacie HD plugged in. I also have a Cannon GL2.
    But before I go any further, and before I try those directions for cleansing certain Quick Time 7 Library Files, I think I figured out the dilemma.
    This problem of GL2 recognition (from what I've read), is common for folks who have similar equipment, and a similar set-up as mine:
    It seems (as I've also read here), that my G5 does NOT like 2 devices which require the same connection speed plugged into the 1394 Firewire Port at the same time - trying to share the same bus.
    I confirmed this by disconnecting the Lacie FIRST - then booting back up - and WALLAH - the GL2 was certainly receoginzed both in iMovie 6 HD, and FCE 2!
    I also further resolved the issue by buying a 'cheaper' Cannon Camcorder - the ZR500.
    Now I can actually share the Lacie HD in the Fire Wire Port with this slower connection speed camcorder. And a further benefit is giving my GL2 a rest when it comes to 'capture only'
    Does all this make sense?
    If so, perhaps I've already discovered stuff that other folks already know ...
    Thanx

  • Exporting iMovie project problems

    So I only used mov and avi files in my project. The project is 17 minutes long. When I export it as an m4v, there are parts of it that are black screen (video doesn't show) and audio plays only. It seemed some of the avi files worked. When exporting as an mov its ALL BLACK. Only audio. Help plz
    thanks

    Actually, I have been using snapz pro and have used imovie 08 to edit and publish many videos to youtube.
    Yesterday, for the first time I began having the issue exporting. I did not change the way I imported or exported the clips.
    I am able to export previously created video with out a problem and they work fine.
    My issue is the black screen. Audio yet no video upon export. Import as .mov and the export is m4v.
    I have tried to find a fix for this bug however the fixes all seem to be "band aids" requiring another step to the process of creating a movie.
    If anyone can shed some light on this issue it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
