Can I get movie to fade to black?

I inserted a Youtube video into my project and used the slider in Widget, Interaction to stop it about midway through, the first part being all that I wanted to show. But then when I preview it, it simply stops abruptly and retains the last screen image. Is there a way to make it fade to black, other than going back and redoing it in iMovie?
Thanks.

Playing movies: Video fades to black for a second every 5 minutes

I have a problem with front-row: with some avi movies, video fades to black and back every ~5 minutes; audio is played normally without any interruption. I have perian 1.1 installed and the movie has no subtitle. 5 minutes is exactly the display sleep time: is that a coincidence or something is wrong with front-row disabling sleep timer ?
thanks
cheers

I have this same exact problem. I have a newer Intel Mac Mini 2.2gh with dvi/hdmi out to external hdtv. At exactly 5 minutes on some .avi or .mkv movies, I love video but still get audio. I always thought it was just me except that it drove me so crazy today that I decided to look for a solution.
The video files themselves play fine in quicktime and/or VLC. It just ***** that Front Row stops playing them. It even happens when I fast forward.
As a side or possibly related note, has anyone else experienced stuttering in Front Row on large files? More importantly, does someone have a solution to the missing video in Front Row.

Ok, I searched system profiler and opened it up and I see the word firewire listed but that's all. I honestly have no idea what this is supposed to look like or what I should be looking for. Thanks again.
Did you click on the Firewire word? What do see to the right of it?
If you see something like the picture and nothing below the "Maximum speed" line, then the camera is not being "seen" by your mac. Otherwise a description of the camera should appear in the right pane.

Is the manually manage music and videos option still selected from under the iPod's Summary tab? What happens when you try to drag files over to your iPod Classic?

Can't get "movies" in my iTunes onto my Apple TV (1st generation)...

I have a series of videos of differing lengths that are in my iTunes Movies folder/category. They play in iTunes with no problem, but many will not appear on my Apple TV.
I've tried highlighting them and clicking Advanced-Create iPad or Apple TV Version, but I get an error message stating "Filename" could not be converted because this file does not allow saving or conversion.
These videos are from various sites and are in various formats (some mpeg 4, some .mov). I downloaded them legally and have the right to have them.
What is causing this? How can I get them onto my Apple TV hard drive so I can play them?

the appletv will only display media in formats it support
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs/
Video Formats
H.264 video up to 1080p, 30 frames per second, High or Main Profile level 4.0 or lower, Baseline Profile level 3.0 or lower with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

Why can't I use the fade to black and white option in iMovie '11?

I have a project that uses a few photos with one minute duration timers I want to slowly fade from color to black and white but the fade to options are all greyed out... Am I over looking something or doing something wrong?

....it's the color in the pictures I want to gradually reduce the saturation on until they are black and white before the transitions start, not fade in or out to a black or white screen like you are suggesting.
Sorry, but I wasn't suggesting that you use Fade to Black or Fade to White, just explaining what they do, given that you used the term "fade" in your first post. I assumed you may have been using the Fade to Black transition (which won't achieve what you want).
I suggested that you use Cross Dissolve, but I need to explain further how to achieve the effect you are looking for. First, you need to place a copy of the photo directly after the original. Make sure Ken Burns is turned off - use Fit. Now double-click on the copy to bring up the Clip Inspector. Click on Effects and select Black & White, then click Done. Drag a Cross Dissolve transition between the 2 clips (photos) and adjust the duration to your liking in the Inspector. Now you will see the effect your are looking for.
The key is to have an exact copy of the photo following the original, then change the copy to Black and White (or Sepia or any other effect), then insert the Cross Dissolve (or Cross Blur etc.) transition.
Hope that''s what you are looking for!

Can't Get Movies to Play!!!! Please Help!!!!

I received a 32GB iPod Touch yesterday as a gift. I also recently bought the movie The Hangover and downloaded the Digital Copy into iTunes. I can watch the movie in iTunes, but it will not play on my iPod Touch. It shows that it is on my iPod Touch, but when I click on it, it says "The movie could not be played". I was wondering if anyone knew what was wrong or if you are having the same problem? Everything else on my iPod is working great! Also, i synced the movies to my old iPod and the movies work (My battery just does not last long at all on my old one.) I have a 14 hour flight Thursday morning so I would really appreciate being able to watch movies and having something to do haha! Thanks for the help!

Didn't you just ask this same question a half hour ago?
You do not need to keep posting the same question. Your fellow ipod answer as their time and ability to help allow.

Can't get movie on HD

Hey, I recently suffered a HD failure, and unfortunately I wasn't backed up. Luckily, I still had my iPod (Black, 80GB classic), which had all of my music and video on it. Using Senuti I managed to get all of my itunes back on my new HD. Everything except the movie "I am Legend". When trying to transfer it with Senuti , it would tell me that it was unable to copy the data. After that, I tried just transferring purchases off of my iPod in iTunes (I purchased I am Legend). iTunes gave me an error message saying "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." Everything else transfered fine, except the movie.
I tried this again on our family iMac and got the same result. The only place I have this movie is on my iPod, and if I hear correctly there isn't any way to re-download it without buying it again. Can someone help?
Thanks,
Atty
This is a repost, since nobody would reply for a week.

Aww, don't be lonely.
Since you're using a 3rd party program to recover the contents of your iPod, I would suggest contacting the developer about the situation to find out if there's any support for recovering purchased movies. All of the iPod recovery strategies are hacks of one kind or another, since the iPod is designed only for transfers from computer to iPod (unless disc use is enabled).

Can't get Movie Exported in Quicktime format to work in iWeb and Website

Help!! I just completed a movie in iMovie and exported it in Quicktime Format. It loads into iWeb seamlessly, and I can view it in iweb, but once I save the files to a folder and then the folder to my host (Godaddy, for what it is worth) I get the Blue Quicktime Q with the question mark in the middle. I have downloadd the movie in different sizes, from as much as 19 Mb down to 4.5 Mb and it is all the same. It is for a real estate listing I have. For what it is worth. I created my first website in iweb 1.0 and imovie 06 (http:www.1055Prince.info) and it works great. I created my second website with iweb 2.0 and imovie 08 (http:www.1045Prince.info) and it will not work. I like the design of the 2.0 template better, but I like the fact that the 1.0 template is working flawlessly. Any help is greatly appreciated.

iWeb writes very clever page code and your page had a very common error.
http://www.1045prince.info/VideoTour_files/VideoTour.js is a file created by iWeb that points to your QuickTime file.
If you use the Finder to edit the name prior to Publishing in iWeb things will be just fine and the link will work as designed. Do not edit any file name before uploading to your server and make sure your files use "Web safe" naming schemes (no spaces, punctuation or illegal characters) and the proper file extension.

Help! I can't get rid of this little black box!

I ordered DSL service and tried to hook it up the other day, unsuccessfully. In the instructions it says that if you have problems to insert the disk provided. I told the lady I ordered from that I had a Mac and she said it would be no problem, but of course no where does it say that this disk is not usable on a Mac.
You get where this is going I'm sure, I put it in and followed what it said, including restarting the iMac as instructed. After the restart it will do the "bong" sound and I get the initial white screen with the grey apple, but I never get the little grey lines in a wheel shape. After a couple of minutes I get a litte black box about 2" wide and 1/4" tall across the top of the apple with little colored lines in it, and nothing else happens or works. I can't even get the disk drive to open or close without holding the button on the back, turning it off, and then holding the open button while I turn it back on with the button.
I have restarted using the hardware repair disk, all is fine. I restarted using Disk Warrier, all repaired, but still not working. I restarted using the 10.2 install disk and verified and repaired the disk and permissions, several were repaired, but still the black box. I tried holding the shift key at restart and still the box, and also tried holding the control and "s" key with no luck.
Of course AT&T knows nothing about the Mac and after talking for 1.5 hours to 5 different people and having a tech guy come and not know anything to help they tell me I have to call Apple to pay for help. I am so frustrated!!! Is there anyone out there with suggestions before I call and pay?
Many thanks,
Cassie

Hi Cassie:
Welcome to Apple discussions.
I have not used OS X 10.2.x for a long time, but I think you should consider and archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
An A&I will install a fresh OS X - hopefully eliminating whatever happened with the AT&T disk. You would, of course, have to update OS X to current levels for 10.2.
Barry
P.S. It also occurred to me that AT&T does not support OS X 10.2 - you might ask them that question.

Can't get movie out of FCP

Hi, I have just created a fairly simple 75-minute movie in FCP 7, and for the life of me, I can't send it to Compressor to make files for creating a DVD. Compressor will do its thing for a few hours, then "Failed". Then out of curiosity, I tried to export it to a simple Final Cut Movie (not 'self-contained') and all I got was spinning pie. I just don't know what to try to get this movie out of FCP! Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks, Bob
MacPro 10.6.6

It will be useful if you give us some specifics.
What is the codec of the source media? H.264, HDV, DVCProHD or ? (Quicktime is not a codec. It is a wrapper that can support a wide range of codecs.)
Where is the media stored? System hard drive, second internal drive, external firewire drive, or ?
What are the timeline setttings? What codec is it using?
Your explaination of your process is very unclear. Have you tried exporting the project using "Current settings" and "self contained". Then take that file into Compressor.

Can't convert MOV to AVI - turns black

hi all,
i've converted thousands of files to AVI from MOV's....suddenly, when i convert them, they turn black
i ususally convert from Uncompressed MOV to Uncompressed (using NONE codec) AVI and no problems.
but now, the file just turns black
help/????
i also have Perian, and have enabled/disabled, but no luck

Use MPEG Streamclip. It is free. 3GP format is usually for phones so you may want to try that, admittedly pretty tiny blocky video. MPEG Streamclip does export to AVI though you need to know what codec the Treo supports. The is because AVI is not a codec it is a container like MOV and can have any combo of video and audio in it. You can have an AVI with a clip with WMV video and MP3 audio or H264 video and AAC audio and the possibilities are endless.

Move it from the old computer or click here and follow the instructions.

HT201272 Can't get movie rental from iPad air to show up on iPhone 4S?

How do you get a movie rental on iPad air to show up on iPhone 4S so we can watch??

You can't, rentals are one-time only downloads, and from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

Can't get movie loader to work

I'm having trouble getting my Flash movie loader file to work. I created 3 test movies (1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf). Each of the test file is a second long. All they do is display a number. In my loader file, I load the test files a second apart. The first two movies load just fine, but instead of loading the third movie the loader loops back to the first frame and starts over. The last movie is skipped even when I switch the order. For instance, 3.swf doesn't load for 1-2-3, and 1.swf doesn't load for 3-2-1. Below is the actionscript I used. Anyone know how I can fix this problem? I'm using Flash CS5. Thanks
stop();
unloadMovieNum(1);
loadMovieNum("1.swf", 1);
stop();
unloadMovieNum(1);
loadMovieNum("2.swf", 1);
stop();
unloadMovieNum(1);
loadMovieNum("3.swf", 1);

The reason I'm a bit confused is you're using stop(), so I'm wondering how your timeline is to progress beyond that. Either the loaded SWFs must communicate with the main timeline or your main timeline is watching the _currentFrame of the loaded clip waiting for it to reach _totalFrames.
Here's an example (sans-stop()) in AS2 saved down to CS5 (I can't go lower) that does what you're describing and works perfectly fine for me:

Is there a difference between this and what you're doing and does this simple example work for you?
