IMovie won't show some of my clips in the full screen preview?

So I spent a lot of time working on a music video I recorded in my iPhone, I put it all together and added effets and everthing.
The small preview on iMovie 11 showd my whole movie the whole time, but when I went to play it on the full screen preview, almost a whole minute of different clips just wouldn't show up and turned black! -___-
But I thought the full screen preview was juat being wierd so I saved in in HD, and I went back to play it and it did the same thing ! But it still plays on the small preview on iMovie to this very second.. i just don't understand. Is it just my friday the 13th luck?
Please let me know if this is happening to you or you know how to solve this ! all help is appriciated

Yes! I created a project from a trailer. I finalized then went and changed some things. After finalizing again the small preview shows the full trailer but the preview and all exported movies are blank for the first 10 seconds or so.  Frustrating!

  • Edit screen won't show me my pictures to edit.  Full screen goes black.

    My first mac. Trying to import pictures from my external drive (FAT32) I imported all my photos, all looks fine, however, when I try to edit one, It takes me to the edit screen with all the photos in the event on top, but it doesn't show the photo I'm trying to edit. I even tried to look at photos fullscreen, and I get the black screen with the top and bottom bars, but no photo on the screen, and after a second, it just all goes black. Interesting thing though, is that I can play a slide show. Has anyone ever had this issue, any help for this newb will be greatly appreciated.

    It could be a permissions thing. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the option to repair permission of the library.
    Post back with the results.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Itunes will only show apple tv as device, but itunes won't show some tabs

    when apple tv is connected to my laptop, itunes will show the device but the screen won't show some of the tabs like: info, or music, it does show: summary, photos. What is wrong with itunes not showing the apple tv device source tabs?

    Hello Nate, thanx for the solution but that also doesn't worked for me and to name it - I am not willing to disable my firewall to get something running that worked before the atv 2.4 and itunes update - same with my network settings - after trying static IPs I returned to DHCP - so if there are friends in my network they don't need to adjust anything at their devices! And I am not working with WLAN - just simple cable - good, fast and save!
    My atv has a static MAC-Address isn't it an easy thing for a software to search for it? I am willing to enter it in itunes if I could but I can't!
    The whole software programming seems not to be very buggy and insufficent to me!
    e.g.
    1) The atv reboot-function on the atv-remote with pressing - and menu for 5 seconds always gets me the fancy question mark - so the only real reboot is pulling the plug,
    2) On itunes I can test my network, my iphone and my ipod (which I don't have) but why can't I test my apple tv connection?
    3) Sometimes I had the problem that I have to sync some content (music and videos) more than one time to be accepted from the atv - even if it was mp3 and mp4 - but that's not a problem anymore while there is not any sync for the atv
    It seems to me that I am forced to enable SSH or FTP-connect so I can get rid of itunes!

    Flash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape. 
    We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode.  Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time. 
    Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in.  There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox.  You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
    To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
        Launch RealPlayer
        Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
        Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
        Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"
        Click OK

  • Imovie'09 crashes when full screen preview of project

    Hello,
    When I try to preview a project that I made in full screen, the application crashes. Is this a problem with the application or the OS?
    Thanks for you suggestions.

    @thomasfrommaitiand -- are you referring to the projects when you say left side of my screen?
    I will share my findings.
    I cleared my issue basing on inputs that I received from this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3343087?start=0&tstart=0
    Basically, I had to duplicate my project so that I do not loose my original version and then started deleting each clip, audio overlays, transitions from the project one by one. I had photos interlaced in my project along with the video and some audio clip overlaying the video.
    Luckily about 1 minute int the project, I identified that a Title slide that I had inserted into the project was causing the full screen to crash. Once I deleted that 1 slide, I was able to run my project in full screen without any issues. It is quite cumbersome and manual especially if you have multiple pieces in your project. However, you are desperate to have your project working like mine, this is the only best solution that I could garner. However, I also followed the instructions from the above mentioned thread posted by "elikness" and deleted the imovie.plist. That didnt really help but I followed those instructions too.

  • I have a macbook and when I power it on and then select myself as a user...It won't power up. It stays in the white screen with the apple logo. I am online currently under 'guest user'. Is there anything I can do from the keyboard to fix this??? Help!!!

    I have a macbook and when I power it on and then select myself as a user...It won't power up. It stays in the white screen with the apple logo. I am online currently under 'guest user'. Is there anything I can do from the keyboard to fix this??? Help!!!

    Could you specify the model of MacBook and the OS X it's running, please? Some of the advice or references vary along with the system, so this could be helpful to formulate a reply. I've never used a Guest User selection, but do have more than one User.
    If the computer does not have an optical drive, you may be able to boot it into a recovery disk mode or something; in an attempt to see what is wrong and maybe fix it.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do I show ratings in full-screen preview?

    I'm new to Bridge, so I bet this falls into the new-user silly question category rather than a missing feature. How do I show ratings in full-screen preview?I touch the space bar to get the preview. If I touch a number 1-5, it adds that rating and a little oval box shows up in the lower left with the file name and the star rating. All very nice. Then if I scroll through my images, that same oval shows up for each image, with its respective rating. Again, nice. But each time I first enter full-screen preview, the oval is not displayed. How do I get it to show up, short of adding or modifying a rating? Surely there is some keystroke or gesture.

    CharleyBC wrote:
     --- How very odd. So the only way I can see the ratings in full-screen preview is to take a potentially destructive action. Adding a rating destroys whatever rating might have already been there.
    What I have done for a workaround is to re-rate an image to same value.  If I start a sequence of full-screen preview display I'll look at the rating of the first image (one star, for instance) then when image is displayed full screen I'll re-rate it one star.  Starts display of ratings in full screen without altering rating.  Then, as you mention in OP, I can sequence through images in full screen view and rating will be displayed.

  • In the slide show view how can you pin the "next" Arrow to the ultimate edge so it is in the same place as the full screen image, it will pin to the left edge but not the right.

    Hello,
    Please make sure that the next button is pinned to the right side as there in the attached image.
    If it is already pinned, you can try removing any embedded HTML code and checking it.

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Impossible to visualize some photos in the full screen option

    I would like to discuss the problem I have with iPhoto. After a couple of years of use, I realized that pictures downloaded in the application and then not modified in some way (e.g. correcting exposure, contrast...) loose after some months the possibility to be seen in the full screen option (a gray background with a white rectangle appears), whereas those modified with the application mantain this option. To avoid this problem I have to modify in some way all the pictures downloaded in iPhoto. Any idea about?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Be sure to include the option to check and repair permissions in the Library.

  • ITunes 10 won't show some artwork?

    After I upgraded to iTunes 10, I noticed that some of the artwork will no longer display in the column view. It's still there, it just won't show up. Why would this happen?

    To be honest I think the way the new iTunes handles artwork now is a pretty big retrograde step, you now can't scale the artwork in the list view plus loads of the cover art is now just not there thanks to this "clever" new system.
    Hmm, I really miss these aspects of iTunes!
    This other thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2564803&tstart=0 also talks about this issue but thanks for the tips on this thread. Let's hope Apple fixes this ASAP.
