10.5.3: No more preview window in iMovie '08

It was fine until I installed the 10.5.3 update, now I have no preview of what I'm editing in iMovie '08, basically rendering the program useless. It can't be used if I can't see what I'm editing.

hi
this worked for my Preview problem.
i deleted the following files:
com.apple.Preview.bookmarks.plist
com.apple.Preview.ImageSizingPresets.plist
com.apple.Preview.plist
it took a few minutes. but eventually, Preview went back to working normally and displaying the photos i opended.
maybe deleting the iMovie plist files would help you?
hope this helps.

  • Scale import preview Windows in iMovie 11 ?

    how can I scale the import preview window in  iMovie 11 ?   It worked in iMovie 09 (iLife 09) but it does not anymore in iMovie 11 .

    When I switch to the internal iSight Camera then You can scale the Import Preview Window as I was with other iMovie Versions.

  • Aspect Ratio Problem (black bars on top and bottom in the preview window)

    I have iMovie 08 and I have been shooting video on my new Canon HF100. It appears that in iMovie preview window my 1920x1080 (and even the ones I bring in in 960x540) videos appear to be in wrong aspect ratio - they are stretched beyond 16:9 ratio horizontally. The problem persists if I export the movie through Quicktime - the videos are still stretched. In the preview window in iMovie I have the right 16:9 box but it has black bars on to and the bottom. The clips themselves in the time line seem to be the correct aspect ratio.

    Also I have found this on the export video screen which narrows it down a bit...
    Here's how the source tab of that screen looks...
    compared to the output tab, with the black bars that are my issue...
    So where did I go wrong here?

    Now I have the proof. There is a Bug in iMovie 9 (iLife11) with the import preview window..
    In iMovie 8 it is possible to scale the import preview window to any size You like while importing video. In iMovie 9 this is not anmore possible, except with the built in iSight camera. I have checked on different mac's with different imovie builts and I can reproduce this problem anytime.

  • IMovie + Preview Window = Garbled GUI

    Hey everyone
    Lately, I've been experiencing an issue with iMovie in which the preview window suddenly becomes a randomized mess of images from elsewhere on the screen (stuff from the menu bar, text, dock icons, pieces of the wallpaper, etc.) This is usually accompanied by a system freeze. After this occurs, it happens not only in iMovie, but any time I use quicktime (not VLC, just quicktime, so it's an apple-related issue). However, I've recently noticed that it also causes GUI issues, such as folder stacks and file icons also becoming garbled (there was even an instance where the address book icon ENGULFED HALF MY SCREEN).
    A restart usually solves this, but does anyone know a permanent fix for this? Do I need to reinstall iLife?

    I see you've had 50 viewers look at this question, but no one has answered it. No one commented on my post on the same subject two days ago either, but we both have a similar problem. Here's my situation:
    I am not able to see my movie in the "Preview Window" of iMovie, after creating a project and event. I had just erased my hard drive, installed a new system directly from SnowLeopard and added iMovie09 (then updated it to v. 8.0.6). Before opening and importing photos to iPhoto, however, I downloaded a DEMO VERSION OF APERTURE, to see if I wanted to purchase that instead of using iPhoto. Next I opened iMovie and imported some photos from Aperture. Everything worked fine. After a few days of working with Aperture I decided to delete it and use iPhoto09. Here's where the problems started. I could bring photos into iMovie from iPhoto but when I tired to make them run as a movie, nothing appeared in the Preview window. I've made dozens of iMovies before, so I expected it to work as it always had.
    I deleted everything I could find about Aperture, even the Library/Cache of Aperture. I deleted everything I could find about iMovie even the Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie08. I reinstalled iPhoto09 and iMovie09. I've emptied the iPhoto libraries and started over there too with photos only, no video even, but I still can't bring in even a simple photo and have it appear in the Preview window of iMovie.
    There must be a bug somewhere. I'd just like to make simple old iPhoto work with iMovie without the ghosts of Aperture interferring.
    I know I haven't answered your question or helped you with your problem, but by combining our efforts and complaint, maybe someone will help us both.
    Best wishes.

  • Crystal report preview window freezes if I push any key on the keyboard

    our system is a pretty old one, and we are still using crystal report 7 and vc6(mfc6).
    It is a simple dialog based application with a button and a flex grid7.1 component on it.
    when the button is clicked, a crystal report preview window will be opened and become the active window.
    the problem is that, when i pushed a key on the keyboard ('a' for example) the whole application will freeze, and CPU Occupancy Rate is 100%.
    but if I switch the dialog to be current active window after a preview window opened, keyboard input won't make the application freeze.
    It seems that crystal report preview window don't know how to deal with the keyboard input.
    BTW:
    I use the methods below to open a preview window.
    PEOpenEngine
    PEOpenPrintJob
    PEPrintReport
    have anyone here met any similiar problems before?
    I really need your help.
    thanks in advance.

    Moved to Legacy Application Development SDKs forum.
    I have nothing for you, other than; consider upgrading - after all CR 7 shipped in 1998(!). I don't know what OS you are on, but I suspect what ever OS it is, it was not even in a concept stage of thought when CR 7 shipped. E.g.; this may be an OS issue more than anything else.
    BTW., print engine APIs were retired in version 9 of Crystal Reports. At this time, your best option is to upgrade to CR 2008 (12.0)and use .NET or Java. If you are using VB 6 or equivalent, you could still upgrade to CR XI r2 (11.5) and use the Report Designer Component (RDC). However, note that CR XI r2 will be out of support in June of this year. And CR XI R2 is the last version of CR to include the RDC.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 to run on?
    You are involved in the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue whose full details (description and fix) are included
    in the Announcement at the top of this forum. Copy for your convenience below.
    You gave a lot of details but did not include the computer operating system. This information may be the key whether
    the known fix will work for you. The known fix requires roll back of the driver version to about May 2013. If your computer
    is Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, there may not be a driver old enough to resolve the issue. This may force you consider
    a Premiere Elements version other than 10 or a different video card/graphics card for your computer. This issue is
    specific for Premiere Elements 10 and the NVIDIA GeForce cards.

    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this
    applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary
    to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working
    Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is
    expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • Print Templates print preview window closes unexpectly when printing document

    This is a cross posting from Internet Explorer Web Development after a suggestion that this forum would be a better location. See
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/ie/en-US/351e1245-b606-4467-9f3c-1c72f9cdf9ea/print-templates-print-preview-window-closes-unexpectly-when-printing-document?forum=iewebdevelopment.
    I have raised an issue through Connect for this:
    https://connect.microsoft.com/IE/feedback/details/1134168/ie9-to-ie11-print-templates-print-preview-window-closes-unexpectly-when-printing-document, but I would like some more visibility of the issue as my customers thought my application was closing when
    they printed a document.  I also don't know if an issue in Connect gets any priority support via MSDN, but this forum does.
    This looks to me like a problem in the IE Print Templates startDoc API call, but if there is a more appropriate forum to raise this issue in please let me know.
    In the application where I use print templates, the window closing is not in it self a problem because the Javascript that is calling startDoc also closes the Print Preview window when the print is finished.
    The fact that the application looses focus and can be hidden by the windows of other applications when the Print Preview window is closed by startDoc is the issue noticed by our customers, so I need a fix preferably, or a work around at a pinch.
    Details of the issue reproduced below.
    When using IE Print Templates, the startDoc function is causing the print preview window to close.  This behaviour started with IE9, and is still present with IE11.
    When an application is using print templates (see
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753279(v=vs.85).aspx) for print functionality, this has the effect of causing the application to become hidden by any other application window once printing from the print preview window has started.  It is
    actually this behaviour that started me looking at this issue as the users thought the hosting application had closed.
    Print Templates are not accessible by using IE as a web browser, but only when using the WebBrowser Control to embed IE in an application.  The reference for this feature is available from this url:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa753279(v=vs.85).aspx
    and a sample Microsoft application that demonstrates the use of Print Templates can be used to demonstrate the problem (required for the reproduction steps).  The application is available via this article and searching for "download spiffy".
    Steps to reproduce the problem:
    To see the full effect of the issue, first ensure there is a window from another application (like Windows Explorer) that will cover the sample applications window if brought to the foreground (making the Windows Explorer window full screen works).
    Start the sample application (and ensure that the full screen Window Explorer is the next application to activate).
    Then in the drop down box in the top right corner of the UI select Template8.htm.
    Click the Print Preview button that is just below the drop down box (this will open a new Print Preview window).
    In the new window click the Print… button (this will open a Print dialog).
    Click the Print button at the bottom of the Print dialog.
    The Print dialog closes (expected) and then the Print Preview window also closes (not expected), however the document is still printed successfully.
    When the Print Preview windows is closed unexpectedly, the Windows Explorer window is brought to the foreground (obscuring the sample applications window).
    If you reselect the sample application and click the Print Preview button again, the Print Preview dialog is not displayed unless you restart the application (this looks to be a symptom of the same issue, not a separate problem).
    To see that the Print Preview window appears to be closed by the startDoc call, use the resource editor in Visual Studio (the exe can be opened directly by File | Open | File…) to edit the HTML resource "TEMPLATE8.HTM" (I found I needed to delete
    it and add it back in for the change to stick), find the startDoc call and add two alerts, one on the line before and one on the line after.  When IE is accessing the template, it is being done using the name of the executable (so do not rename the modified
    version of printtemplates.exe, make the changes to a copy in a different directory if you don't want to change the original).  Start the modified version of the application and follow the same steps as in the reproduction.  This time, after clicking
    the Print button in the Print dialog, the dialog will close, the first alert will pop up, then the Print Preview window will close, then
    the second alert will pop up.
    Thank you,
    Warren.

    Hi Shu,
    I have noticed that the print templates API is listed as part of the Legacy APIs. 
    Is this just because it hasn't changed or is not new?  Or does this mean that it is no longer maintained and may be removed (or at least deprecated) at some point in the future? 
    It would good to know if we should start planning for the implementation of a different method of printing.
    I understand that the sample application is no longer maintained, but I also think that the Print Template API that it uses has not changed, and so should still work (and it does mostly).
    If the Print Preview window was being closed as a result of using the Print dialog (and if it had behaved the same way with IE8) I would be willing to go with the by design argument.  
    I have found that the Print Preview window is not closed until startDoc is called, and it closes before control is returned from the startDoc function. 
    Just as part of investigating and try to find a workaround, if I call window.close(), any alert calls made no longer display the alert window after the close call. 
    Alert still functions after startDoc has closed the window however. 
    The is not the sort of consistent behaviour I would expect from something that is by design. 
    Also while investigating, I found that calling startDoc after calling window.close() results in an exception with the error code -2147467259 (0x80004005), this is probably quite normal and expected, but does indicate that the Web Browser Control should
    not be closed till after printing.
    I had found that old thread, and I had concluded it was the same issue, but it was also aimed at different aspect of the problem (which I see in the sample application, but not my application). 
    The visible issue I have is that my users think the application has been closed because after clicking print (on the Print dialog) the application gets hidden by other windows from other applications. 
    This aspect affects the sample in the same manner and so it was a convenient way to demonstrate the problem.
    If IE connect do not look at this issue any time soon, do I have any other avenues to resolve this issue?
    Thank you,
    Warren.

  • Colours in 'Print with Preview' window are wrong

    I am using Photoshop CS on a Mac G4 (PPC) with OS X 10.4.11.
    I usually use 'Print with Preview' to print photographs. I used to get good results, but something seems to have changed (or I have accidentally changed a setting somewhere). When I open an image in Photoshop, the colours on my monitor (which I regularly calibrate) look right. But when I go to 'Print with Preview', the image shown in the small layout window is now much darker, reds are more brown and in general the colours look quite wrong. And what is even worse is that when I print, the results match the wrong colours in the Preview window and not the correct colors that I see when I look at the image directly in Photoshop.
    I attach a screenshot, showing (on the left) a colour test image opened directly in Photoshop CS and (on the right) how it looks in the Preview window.
    Can anyone suggest what may have gone wrong? I should be very grateful for suggestions.

    The words that helped [me] the most to understand Photoshop color management theory are:
    Color Management starts with a good monitor profile (to PROOF the color accurately on the monitor), and Color Management ends with a good target profile to PROOF the color accurately on the print.
    The file (the document's Source Color Space) is independent of Photoshop:
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
    +++++
    While this simple PROOFING ANALOGY doesn't address the pitfalls of relying on a bad monitor to evaluate and adjust digital color, it does make two important facts about Photoshop and professional color-managed printing workflows:
    1) The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
    2) The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.
    Getting a known good file (like the Adobe RGB—or better yet the ProPhoto RGB—PDI Photodisc-GettyImages RGB reference image) into Photoshop allows me to evaluate the monitor alongside the print to help me identify where the problem is occurring.
    +++++
    BTW, thank you for the helpful and solved hits.

  • Video not fitting into preview window

    Hello,
    I have been running into a problem that I have not had untill I restored my computer a few months back. To start off I know my video files are in 720p and I have the sequence setting set accordingly. When I place the video files into the "Source" the full video is shown. However, Once the video is brought onto the timeline the preview window shows it much more expanded tot he point where only the very middle of the video can be seen. I have gotten around this in the past by dragging the corners in and copying the scale to every individual clip but it has become extreemly monotonous.
    Any help would be much appreciated,
    Thank you
    the atttached screenshot shows the problem

    To start off I know my video files are in 720p and I have the sequence setting set accordingly.
    No, they're not. They're 1440x1080; you can see that in the project panel. Functionally, they're 1920x1080 since they're HDV. So, you should be using a 1080i/p sequence preset... or you can use a 720p preset, but you'll have to scale the footage down to fit.
    A quick way to create a sequence that matches your footage is to drag a clip to the New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel; it looks like the dog-eared sheet of paper.
    If you want to use a 720p sequence, select all the clips and use the right-click > Scale to Frame Size option; optionally, you can manually scale one clip, and then copy and paste the Motion effect to all the other clips.

  • Preview Window Not Working

    Problem:
    The preview window in the top right of iMovie 08 does not work. It is either checkered or black.
    Possible Solution:
    If your iMovie project is using video from an event that has a lot of video in it, split that event up. Do this via right click->Split Event Before Click.
    Background:
    When I would start up iMovie '08 (7.1.4) everything worked fine until I clicked on a certain project that I had made. Then the preview window would not work--it showed a blank screen or was checkered, even though the audio would play. Weird things would continue to happen, and none of the other projects would play in the preview window, it seemed to get progressively worse.
    The project used video from an even that had a lot more video in it than other events I was using. It had 45:45 and the others less than 30min. I split the event up half way via right-clicking about half way and then selecting "Split Event Before Clip". This split the event into two events, and everything works fine now. (When you split the event, you need not worry about messing up your project, it knows that you have split the event and can still find the video.)

    Well, I just seemed to have solved the problem...at least as I was experiencing it. As mentioned, I have my Motion content on an external drive, so I decided to revisit this.
    I had installed all my Final Cut Studio content on the external drive using the "Content Installer" (after first installing the apps to my laptop). When opening Motion for the first time, it couldn't find the content so I manually typed in the appropriate path...or so I thought:
    250GB Drive : Final Cut Studio Content : Motion Content.
    Oddly enough, a few things worked this way, but not everything. It turns out I had to specifically point one folder deeper:
    250GB Drive : Final Cut Studio Content : Motion Content : Motion
    After doing this, all my content seems to preview, although there still are a few anomalies. Some things have to be clicked on more than once to preview, or sometimes I must preview something else first, then try the desired effect a second time. In some cases waiting quite a while produces something.
    I'll try moving the cursor about as Mabou suggested and see if that makes any difference.
    At least I'm getting somewhere!
    Thanks,
    Doug
