Adding Subtitle Creates Vertical Stripes

I have an iMovie HD project and when I first started adding subtitles to scenes everything worked fine. After the first few subtitles, things started going wrong. Now every time I try to add a subtitle iMovie, I type the title in and when iMovie goes into preview it creates black vertical stripes, as shown in the photo below:

Does anyone have any idea what is going wrong? FYI, this happens on both video clips and photos and the size of my movie is nearly 16 gigs.

Well I looked into my Quicktime Library and removed (put on my desktop) the only item there, the Apple Intermediate Codec and still have the problem. When you say 3rd party plugins, where would I find these? I'm familiar with browser plug-ins but I'm guessing this is something different.
As far as versions go, I'm running OS 10.4.9, iMovie HD 6.03 and Quicktime 7.1.5. Also since my video camera stores in MOD format I must use Mpeg StreamClip to convert to DV. The odd thing is that iMovie has worked great on all previous movies I've put together, although those movies were much smaller.

  • MacBook iPhone Sync Creates Vertical Stripes on MacBook Screen

    I'm at a loss on this one... I have a black MacBook and I sync my iPhone 2G with it normally. Starting yesterday, when I sync my iPhone with it, iTunes starts the sync process normally, but after a few seconds, the screen switches to thin vertical color stripes. The cursor moves, but instead of an arrow, I get a pale 3 inch square that moves with the track pad. I then must do a hard restart. My attempts to fix this include:
    - Repaired disk and permissions in single user mode with fsck and AppleJack
    - Deleted iTunes prefs
    - Restored and totally zapped iPhone to initial status
    - Tested with my wife's iPhone and has same issue
    - Downloaded iTunes and installed it again
    Any other suggestions here? Thanks in advance!

    Hi Jason,
    The only thing I didn't see as part of your troubleshooting work flow was resetting the SMC.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
    It's unlikely (although anything is possible) that for video distortion the issue is software related, especially when the iPhone is connected. At first I was going to suggest the remote possibility that the phone was possibly the culprit but the fact that a second iPhone also does the same thing would lead me to believe that's not the case.
    After resetting the SMC, if the issue persists, the next step is to arrange a hardware repair on the machine or at least have it further diagnosed. What about an iPod? Do you own one or have a buddy with one that you can verify?
    It's possible that there's a power management issue between the USB bus and the Inverter (backlight) or even the LVDS cable (video to the display). Resetting the SMC, is the first step to begin to determine what the problem is and how to properly proceed based on the result would be a hardware diagnosis via a service provider.

  • Strange Vertical Stripes part 2

    So I'm experiencing this vertical strip problem with my MBP 2.6GHz BTO purchased in April 2008. After reading all about this issue in the following thread of 687 replies. I noticed that the last post was on Sept 11, 2008. I also tried to post there but apparently the thread is now locked and cannot be added to:
    Here is the previous thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1423301&tstart=0
    Has anything new developed from this issue since sept 2008? Has there been any recent firmware fixes? Are people continuing to experience this problem?
    user essd was kind enough to post a picture of this problem here:
    http://img175.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mg2729smallnx2.jpg
    -From what I gather from my research this is likely a firmware issue as there are several individuals that have experienced this issue after replacing their screens.
    -User essd states:"******************************************************************************** ********************
    IF YOU ENCOUNTER THIS ISSUE, YOU SHOULD CONTACT APPLECARE AND REFERENCE TECHNICAL BULLETIN TS1258. IF YOU'VE ALREADY CALLED APPLECARE BUT YOU DIDN'T QUOTE THAT NUMBER, PLEASE CALL THEM BACK AGAIN AND CREATE A NEW INCIDENT WITH THAT NUMBER.
    -Also from what I can tell this is by far and away the biggest MacBook Pro Display issue that has been discussed in the Apple Discussions forum. With over 21,000 page views and 687 posts. It is the only thread in the forum that has been locked.
    Why would apple lock this thread?

    because if you have the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT & your system was built between 4-2007 & 9-2008, Apple is fixing them free of charge to the customer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    So I would call or go to your local apple authorized service center to get the logic replaced.

  • Vertical stripes after latest Security Update 2008-004 for OS X Tiger

    Hi there,
    I'm experiencing vertical stripes and color issues on my PB G4 17 inch screen after the security update 2008-004.
    Funny thing is, a screenshot looks fine.
    I already resetted PRAM and NVRAM. Didn't help.
    Does anyone know a solution?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    It's probably got nothing to do with the upgrade.
    I guess your computer is about 15-20 months old and the serial number starts with W84 or W85.
    This is obviously a common problem among these serial numbers, and it starts after about 15 months.
    I've got a mint PBG4 17, that's NEVER left the house. Just turned it in on AppleCare repair (32 days left, phew) for this problem.
    This number series is assembled in Shanghai in 2005.

  • I have 4 vertical stripes across the entire height of my monitor. Do I have to buy a new imac? e

    I have 4 vertical stripes across the entire height of my monitor, the stripes are there even before I log on. My 17" imac is 6 years old. Do I have to buy a new computer?

    Frequent problem on 2006 17" imac!
    Most of the time, it's a defective LCD panel.
    To validate if it is the LCD panel or the graphic card, you can take a screen shot (cmd+Shift+3) and see if the problem is visible on the screen shot.
    If it is not visible, then it's most likely the LCD panel.
    This can be confirmed by connecting an external display to your iMac.
    If it works well, then it's the LCD panel that is defective.
    Does it look like this?

  • How to convert FCP subtitles created in Text to EXPORT as one .stl file for broadcaster

    I created about 300 subtitles in Text, one version for English and one for German, that included narration and on-screen dialog, for a one-hour film I produced. An exported QT file creates a burned-in subtitle. However, the European distributor wants the film without subtitles and wants the subtitles as a .stl file (with the TimeCode for start and end of each subtitle text), one for English and one for German. I can create a QT file without subtitles. But I could not find a way to convert the FCP text into a file.
    a. In FCP, I see no option to export to create an .stl file. How does one go about making the .stl file?
    b. Some software I found like Subtitle Extractor creates an .stl file from an existing track in DVDSP's subtitle tracks, like S1 or S2, etc. I also see no such option in DVDSP to export to create an .stl file. Does this mean I would need to re-write all the subtitles in FCP into DVDSP? This means re-writing over 600 subtitles from FCP to DVDSP! This will take months. Any faster and effective solution? DVDSP is a solution only if this Subtitle Extractor software works! Any feedback on this? I tried to run a quick test in DVDSP but no .stl file was created and it resulted in an error.
    c. I need to identify which subtitles are narration, and indentify the person speaking the dialog for the .stl file. Do I do this on the stl file or FCP (assuming there is a way to convert the FCP work)?
    Using FCP 7.0.3, Mac OSX 10.6.8, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB Mhz, 500 GB drive

    I've worked with title exchange pro and I thought it was great.  The software author was very helpful when I had a probllem.    I used it in a different way (converting a pre existing stl file into a subtitle track in fcp - a series of text clips with the appropriate timings and placement that I could copy into a sequence - to proof subtitles created by a service before using for a digital cinema print), but I'm pretty sure it'll do what you want.

  • Question: Why does DVDSP "hang: when adding subtitles

    I'm having a real problem adding subtitles to my 3.7 GB project. It's all built and I was in the process of adding subtitles to the 1 hr 30 minute film. Yesterday it worked fine, copying and pasting from a text application into subtitles I'm making as I go, but today it's been a nightmare.
    I find after only two or there additions, I suddenly get the spinning wheel "program not responding" and have to force quit. I reopen the project and if I'm lucky I can add two or three subtitles, saving each time, before I get the"spinning wheel of frustration".
    (problem posting this message so this is a repost)
    I have no idea what's causing it. But it DVDSP at this stage of my project definitely doesn't like subtitles being edited, moved or played. It becomes unstable and then hangs.
    I've downloaded the latest security update incase that helped, turned off the clock, (old habit) Nothing works.
    A project that was going to take two hours to finish looks like taking two days now! I'll plod on but I could really do with some help.
    Any ideas?

  • MacBook Air: Vertical Stripe in Display

    hi,
    my late 2010 macbook air suddenly displays a vertical stripe.
    i realise, that when i take a screenshot, that stripe is not present.
    i have the latest version of MacOS, no pending updates. i also cleaned the screen with iKlear apple polish - still the same result.
    anz ideas what the problem might be?

    Yes, I am using the MBA 2013 with haswel processor. What's your hardware?
    Mine is i7 processor , 8gb ram and 256 SSD.
    Look, I decided to buy Macs , because it was said that they were working properly for a long long time. After buying the latest iMac 27iches(late 2012) and the new MBA(mid 2013) the thing I have to say is that OS X is full of bugs and of course I am not here to debug Apple's software.The other thing I have to admit is that Macs tend to get hardware damages , especially on their displays, very very very very very very easily.
    I got one replacement for an iMac with heavy image persistence and with my second unit I also had a ghosting issue some days ago.
    With my MBA I got two replacement , that is the third unit I got and Apple still knows nothing about my issue.
    Ok, I decided to pay for a very premium price, at least the machines should really work perfectly. And these facts are admitted by someone , whose house looks like an Apple Store with so many Apple's products that I have bought.
    So , the best thing you can  do now is to give your feedback directly to Apple. Apple will not spend time to fix bugs which only a few customers experience. They will only release a fix , if it is a major concern , which may drop their sales worldwidely. Of course, if you think it is a hardware issue the best you can do is to ask for a replacement. I know this is inconvenient, but it is the only way to ensure that the machine you bought will worth the money you spent for it.

  • When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why is this?

    When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why dont they display in the 'tones' tab in itunes?  How can I get them to display under 'tones' not 'music'.

    Well, I tried rebuilding the Launch services with the command listed but still no luck. After having no luck with that and deleting caches, etc....I also, went to my home (user) directory and in Preferences, I deleted the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. I restarted and checked and still the same result.
    Also, I want to emphasize again that the file type I am discussing DOES actually launch with the correct application. (Cubase files in my example).
    But it is just annoying that ALL of my Cubase files display the Pro Tools application icon, and in Get Info they are listed to open with Pro Tools. But they actually do launch Cubase if double clicked.
    And one other VITAL note....if I open Get Info for one of these files, and change the Open With from Pro Tools to Cubase....then that choice DOES "stick" and retain. (if I "don't" also click Change All)
    It's only when I click "Change All" that it DOESN'T stick and the list selection jumps back to Pro Tools. I hope that may offer some clarity.
    Thanks for the tips but I am still back at square one.

  • My macbook pro went from startup screen to grey vertical stripes

    my macbook pro went from startup screen to grey vertical stripes with a bit of flashing.  Force quit twice and it is still doing it.  Had a bit of problem last time I started it with flashing screen, but it settled.  After leaving it on screen went black (as usual) and on waking had desktop up but continued to flash.  Any suggestions?

  • Beige vertical stripes on monitor OS windows 7

    Light beige vertical stripes appear on my ViewSonic monitor whenever there's any movement on the screen, including mouse movements espically when the wheel is used. When there's nothing moving on the screen the stripes disappear, although on the YouTube site they're always there even when no video is playing.  Typing, as I'm doing right,  now does not  generate the lines.   Could this be a video card issue?

  • I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say: You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525

    I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say:
    You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525. I reinstalled Adobe Air. No change. I went to the Adobe webside and they said to repair it with a program. I bought RegCure. Didn't change anything. What to do?

    Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
    This happens the same whenever I try to install.
    To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
    My plugin is still showing as out of date.
    Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time.

  • IPhone Camera - distorted vertical stripe in low light

    My iPhone 5 camera (on rear side) recently started showing a distorted vertical stripe down the left side of the screen in low light.

    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
