Can't preview the video clips I've imported - I only get sound

I've imported some .avi video clips from an external network drive into iMovie which I am using locally. When I try to play the clips in the preview window, all I see is a white screen. The sound is fine.
I set up the project as MPEG-4, in PAL format.
Maybe there's something I'm doing wrong in the preferences.
Thanks!
Edit: Copied files from external drive to local machine before import; problem still occurs.

Unfortunately, another DV-PAL clip I created still won't play; it has an odd black triangle thingy down the side that looks a bit like a flag. Are there any other codecs available to make this clip work? They work on the Power PC laptop but not the Mac Pro...

Homesharing has issues that have not been fixed over several versions of itunes and ios.
Only kind of fix is go back through your library and retag it.

I can't find the videos I want to import to Photoshop CS5

Hello everyone! I can't seem to import videos to Adobe Photoshop CS5 Extended, all the videos I have on my computer have a wmv format. Every time I launch PSCS5, these are my steps: file>import>video frames to layers, but when I click on the folder that I put my videos in, no videos show up in that folder. I have the last version of QuickTime Installed on my pc. I'm using windows vista and my pc is HP. Thank you in advance.

To my knowledge, quicktime does not support wmv, but it does support avi, but only a limited set of codecs. If your system is fast enough, use the full frame/no codec option when converting or creating videos. Otherwise convert/create video using mov or mpg. Another option is to use an image sequence, A series of images using a numeric sequencial as part of the file name. Photoshop can import the first image and will auto load the remainder of the images, as long as you have the image sequence check box marked. Photoshop will then assume this is a video and can be used in your timeline like any other video.

The side scroll bar is locked and I don't know what to do. Also video does not work. I only get sound.

The side scroll bar is locked so I can't read anything on the web. Also, I cannot get any video on YouTube, etc. It is a black screen.

Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

How can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

how can i detach the video from a clip so i can only use the audio when using imovie?

First, go to iMovie/Preferences and enable the Advanced Tools.
Import the video clip into an iMovie Event. When you get ready to use it in an iMovie Project, select the clip in the Event and drag & drop it on top of a video or photo clip in the project at the place where you want it to begin. When the pop-up menu appears, choose Audio Only.

Have them install Quicktime on their PC's from Apple's website, that's the easiest fix.

Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
Make sure SD DVD is selected:
(If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
Build your DVD and you'll be fine.

P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

If so, could you give me a few tips on how to do it?
Many thanks,

Not all video from the web can be downloaded, the owner or the website may have prevented this.
I will not describe how to download as doing so may be illegal, but you can Google and read what is and not possible.
Once a file is downloaded legally, the file must be a Quicktime file, drag and drop the file onto a slide.

On iMovie how can you mute a section of the sound track so you can hear the audio from the video clip?

.

Hey,
If you double-click on the soundtrack you can open it up in the inspector tab and lower the soundtrack so that you can hear the audio from the video clip.

How can I change the video but continue audio from the first clip?

I have a clip of a guy playing the guitar. I want to cut away and show clips of the audience..... so how do I separate the audio and video so that we still hear him playing as the video clip changes? I do hope it's easy!!! :-) Thank you for any help.

bnn is right. Also make double sure you have turned on the Advanced Tools under the iMovie Menu > Preferences. Choose the General Tab and click the checkbox beside Show Advanced Tools. This will enable that pop-up menu that includes Cutaways as an option.

I recently loaded Snow Leopard. I have iPhoto 08. I can no longer play the video clips in iPhoto.

I recently loaded Snow Leopard on my iMac. I have iPhoto 08. I am now unable to run the video clips in iPhoto.

Upgrade iPhoto.

I added background music to the video clip, but I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the background music audio

I added background music to the video clip in iMovie, the playback runs ok on the right corner preview screen, if I share it to movie clip or itunes or theather, I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the music audio
If I don't put additional audio to the clip. audio effect or music background, the video plays normally
I detached the audio from the video clip and deleted it, that way it was possible to listen to the music background and see the actual video clip, but no audio from the video clip.
How can I have both?

Hi
My first thought is -
Where are the original Audio file ?
If it was on an Audio-CD then the CD is Ejected and one tries to play the movie - it can not find it = Silence.
You are using an Non-Destructive Video editor - meaning that You have raw material - Video, Audio and photos but no Movie in Project - only a text document directing How You want it to be played. So if Audio is not where it was when this document were created - iMovie can not find it and e.g. audio goes silent.

How can I watch a video clip in my iPad 3?

I just got an attached video clip from my brother, sent to my hotmail. When I open the clip, it just shows an overcrossed play bottom! How can I watch a video clip in hotmail, using an iPad? Do I need to download an app or what? Please!?

Well on a Mac you can install
Flash
Silverlight
Perian
VLC
Flip4Mac
DivX
and many other codecs/tools to watch anything.
Guess the iOS isn't really all that it's cracked up to be, ignoring the wider world out there.
Your only choice to complain to Apple about closed devices they make, but of course they know this already and using the iPad as a cheap "netbook" halo effect device so you get to upgrade to a Mac, just like they do with iPhones and iPods.
In the meanwhile they are slowly closing the door on OS X, a little at a time so it's not noticeable.
Pretty soon the excuse will be "sorry I can't play your video you sent me mom, I've got a Mac"
