Cannot Disable Automatic Audio Fade-In

I've exhausted all available advice about this issue and it's still happening - I cannot prevent iMovie from applying a fade-in effect on audio clips. Despite disabling "automatic content" and moving the fade toggle in the audio clip all the way to the beginning of the clip, it's still happening.
Thanks for your help.

Hello. I've tried to disable automatic logout in Sec. P.P. but failed. No matter what I do in the pref pane, if I close the pref pane and reopen it, the option is back to 60 minutes logout.
I've tried trashing /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences, but Sec PP always recreates it with com.apple.securitypref.logoutvalue = 3600. I've tried manually changing the value with an editor using root privileges, but it never takes.
have you tried restarting after doing this? if so, I would try changing or deleting (or rather renaming) this file from single user mode. then restart and see what happens.
It is always immediately changed back to 3600 seconds.
What can I do?

Cannot disable automatic attachment preview in Mavericks Mail?

Hello All,
I noticed after upgrading to Mavericks that Apple Mail started automatically previewing attachments again... I had disabled this in previous versions of OS X. I tried to disable this again in the terminal using:
defaults write com.apple.mail DisableInlineAttachmentViewing -bool yes
But after re-starting Mail, attachments are being automatically previewed again.
I consider this a security issue so I would like to disable automatic attachment previewing as soon as possible. Has anyone been able to do this with the Mail included with Mavericks yet?

Just a basic examplo: getting an email with an open image, that the 2 people around me can immediately see, can pose a serious security for anything I'm doing with my Mac!
So, you see, SECURITY is much more than a mere technical problem!
Cheers
That's a privacy problem, not a security problem.
If you are receiving images in emails that the others arround you are not qualified to see, your office setup is the security problem, not Mail.
Use a different email client that gives you the option. I have no idea what those are, though.

I don't want 'Automatic audio fade' for each clip

hmm, well, I like it but some member at my German board noticed, that any new clip has its (short) audio-fade-in.
You can set to 'Manual/0 sec' ... but for each clip, not as a 'preset' for all.
any expert any idea, which internal plist to edit to set that 'fix' to a 0-sec-fade?
haven't found any ...

Audio Fade Handles Missing!

I cannot perform any audio fades as there are no fade handles.
Which settings do I have to change to make the audio fade handles appear?
Thanks!

I just talked to Applecare.
It looks like the frame size of my time line was too small. I increased the size of my the frames and then I could access the fade handle.
I actually expected the fade handles to appear on top of the audio tracks.
But they actually were at about the middle of the track. And they were not gray, but green. That added to the confusion.
But I could fade the tracks now, and, gladly, nothing was wrong with the software.

Cannot Disable Correct Spelling Automatically

I cannot disable the Correct Spelling Automatically feature. Rather, I can, but once I close and reopen the application it will be reenabled. I first noticed the issue when I upgraded from Trillian 1.2.20 to 1.2.40, but I just tested this in TextEdit and the issue exists there as well.

Philmac88 wrote:

There are two settings for it.
One is in Edit > Spelling and Grammar. The other in TextEdit > Preferences > Options.
If you turn off the former and quit, it will be re-enabled when you open TextEdit again.
If you turn off the latter and quit, both should be disabled when you open TextEdit again.
Is this the behaviour you see?

Cannot render audio fade and/or transition and/or title

I am at my wits end and ready to blow up the computer on this one.
I have about a dozen
DV-AVI clips, captured from a Sony camcorder via Firewire. I am editing them into 7 scenes. I tried this with the first two scenes and I did a test Burn to File, viewed the VOB in Windows Media Player and all worked well. I then added 5 more scenes, all with the same transition recipe between scenes, did another Burn to File and found that past the first two scenes, everything was black. WMP showed video playing, but it was just solid black past the first two scenes.
I scoured the forum looking for clues and hours later I have absolutely no idea what is going on. Here are my specs and what I have tried. I also attached a screen shot showing the 3 areas on my timeline that show different states of rendering (or non-rendering).
Computer specs: PreE8, Win7 64bit, intel i7, ATI card, 6 GB RAM, 400+GB free HD
DV-AVI clips, some with the In and Out points trimmed a few seconds.
I added to each clip Audio Fade In and Fade Out.
Between each clip is the following: Dip to Black, Title, Dip to Black
I added a Menu Marker to each title. They all appear on the menu as they should.
Background rendering is OFF.
I am still new to PreE so I still don't quite understand the whole rendering thing. But as near as I can tell, that is the heart of the problem, but I cannot for the life of me see how to fix it. As seen on my screen shot, the first two transions are rendered green. Now skip ahead to the fourth transition and it is red. Zooming in, the red goes from the start of the audio fade out of the previous clip, through the title, then stops at the start of the next clip. So I thought it is a transition, the title, menu marker or the audio fade out causing a problem. however, even when I removed ALL these elements from between and on the 2nd and 3rd clips (the third transition) it is STILL red! And yes I am pressing the Enter key to render. There are no effects, keyframes, or anything on the adjacent clips and it won't render. The only thing I noticed is now the unrendered part is the first 4 seconds of the later clip.
Why on earth do the first two transitions work, but the rest won't? Why won't it render after I removed everything except the plain DV-AVI clips?

Thanks Hunt for all your help, information and encouragement. I have been able to return to my project (I saved the original with no changes) and was able to adjust the Work Area, Render and Burn to Folder (VOB). When I tested the VOB, everything worked great! So that was the problem. Hurrah!
FYI--in PreE 8, the Burn to Folder option does NOT have a "Export Work Area" button, BUT the Share to Computer (mpeg) DOES, so that is something good to know. Obviously the Burn to Folder option in PrE 8 defaults to burning the Work Area. For my small project, the Work Area concept is not a necessary feature, but I can see how for larger more complicated projects it is a good way to manage resources.
Now that I have had some time away and a couple glasses of wine :-) I can be more positive about what I learned. In my travails, I learned a lot about rendering, keyframes, the work area, stumbled across a way to easily search only the Premiere Elements subforum, and a lot about stop markers (which seems to cause some black-screen problems when too near to menu markers). So it was not a complete waste of time. Oh yeah, and thanks for the compliment on my post info. In my forum travels, I also learned what information is asked for over and over to get more directly to an answer and just put it in the first go-round. And it paid off!
Well, back to the shop. My husband thinks I am crazy for using this aggravating software (I used to use Windows Movie Maker) but I keep telling him, PreE 8 is like a Ferrari. The problem is that it is temperamental and often broken down in the shop causing a lot of frustration. But when it runs well, it is oh such a sweet thrill, so slick and powerful, that I just can't give it up and go back to the Honda.

Audio fades in compound clip

I have an edited compund clip that someone created and every time I play it, there are audio fades in between the cuts that shouldn't be there and the person who edited it claims they never added them. When I go and fix them all, next time I open final cut and play that clip, the fades are added back in. Why is this happening? Basicall in between the cuts audio drops at the end of the first cut and then goes up on the beginning of the next clip in the cut. It's like FCX is doing this automatically, but I can't get rid of it for good. Any ideas?
Thank you

That's odd. When you change the compound should update. Bring the compound clip into the project. Double click the clip to open its component clips. Make any change that's easily reversed – say, disable a clip (V). Close the project. Create a new empty project. Bring the compound to the new project. The disabled clip should not be visible.

Quick Look Audio Fade-in

Hello,
i am that complete lagger who used 10.6.8 for few years for working with audio and music production. Somehow i decided to upgrade to new osx for new logic and some user features, but there is one little thing that still keeps me off new os x.
Back in 10.6 when you quick look an audio file it plays just "as is"- without any fade ins and fade outs. If sound starts instantly inside audio file- it will play instantly. This helps me a lot while making music- i just use Finder quickly to find right sound and drag and drop it into Logic. This is my typical workflow- press space and use up and down buttons to find right sample.
In Lion, ML and now in Mavericks that feature was changed. When you quick look audio file it will play it normally the first time, but when you play it second time (you didnt hear if this fiel sound right and you replay it) it cuts the very first part of the sound- it creates very fast fade in which affects the sound. It looses first click (wich may be very important). Sometimes i cant really hear if sound starts instantly or with fade within sample.
This is probably more a feature than bug, but this still doesent helps me at all.
The question is how to disable that quick look audio fade in? I really dont need it and dont want it.
I tried to replace 10.9 quick look audio plugin with same file from 10.6, but that didnt worked.
Regards,
Anton Demkin

If this is the case Then there must be some switch somewhere in the bowels of the project data that can be thrown. Once again i am appalled at how little information is available to power users and apple should be ashamed of it self. THese damned programs do not work as advertised when pushed and they display anomalies that keep the forums full but nothing else. I had this problem and had to export the whole movie as is and then reimport it in order to over come the INVERSE DUCKING feature so prominently in fashion these days. I will be trying now to see how this works ... again.
PS none of my issues with inverse ducking matched what you did to solve yours -- My project had been completed and now someone wanted tweaks so when i went in to make the tweaks- that is what i found . Sort of like magical apperance of unnamed temporary files amongst other things.

How to disable the audio track in QT Pro Movie Recording

I have a device that allows me to record DVI video (1900x1200 uncompressed) into QuickTime Pro through the Movie Recording function. It all works very well except I am trying to record video only (it's the video output of a medical device, so there is no sound). In QT pro preferences, the choices for audio input are "automatic", built-in microphone", or "line-in". I need the choice of "none" (at these files sizes I need all of the CPU's resources working on the video to improve continuity and frame rate). Does anyone know of a script to disable the audio recording portion, or how I might write one? I have never written script before, but that won't stop me from trying to learn how (or rather, launching into a prolonged period of trial and error).
I am also going to approach this by nagging the video device manufacturer, but they are more Windows- centric (they do support Mac OS X and some Linux platform so all hope is not lost). However, it would be easier if I could have more control over my own destiny, and Mac folk seem to be much more helpful.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to help.

First, thanks for the quick reply.
Setting the audio option to line-in with nothing plugged in yields the same results. The device (which is essentially a continuous frame grabber) doesn't have any audio feed at all, and I think that is what is confusing QuickTime. The file I record generates one video track and several sequential audio tracks that start at roughly every 4 seconds. The movie info say that these are Big Endian Stereo L&R tracks, and that have virtually no file size to speak of. Audibly there is nothing. However, the constant "start over" with the audio is causing 2-3 second skips in the video. When the video is recording contiguously, the frame rates are on the order of 15 to 20 fps, which at 1900x1200 is fantastic for what I am doing (software training video of a Linux-based medical device; nothing cool like Snapz available for this beast).
By the way, I have tried Hack TV Carbon, hTV 0.2 and QT Broadcaster, all which will recognize the device as an input source, but not choose it. These would let me deselect the audio input. As mentioned, I am prodding the device manufacturer for help, too, so maybe they will come up with something to address this.
The other thing is that this device creates a video stream that is transferred by USB2. If it was a Firewire device, I would be all over this with iMovie HD or a HD Video recorder, and just be done with it. Apple may have to come up with some universal driver to accept USB video in since they have dropped FW on some of the new models, but this frame grabber isn't on the list as of now.
No real solution I can find to convert USB to Firewire.
Anyway, I am hoping that somehow I could get into the QT script and just disable the audio recording, like the old "save as Un-editable" script would pullout the "save" function of the QuickTime action.
Of course, dumping the audio tracks after the fact doesn't fix the video; once it's chopped up coming in...
I suspect that the real answer to this issue lies with the frame grabber manufacturer. But, I am still hopeful that the QuickTime Script writers out there (or the Terminal folks) may have something up their sleeves.
Thanks for noticin' me.

How do I disable automatic updating? I am about to switch to another browser because of the frequency with which I am delayed by an automatic update without the option to put it off to another time.

I have been using Firefox and its ancestors since the beginning. I am at the end of my rope with it. When I click a link or open the browser it is because that is what I seek to have happen. Unless there is a way to turn off automatic updating, I am going to pack it in and find another platform. I cannot see what would be lost if Firefox would do its updating on the way out, when my attention has moved on, and it is not taking up my time. Is there a solution to this with Firefox?

Hi,
It is true that the Classic Theme Restorer add-on will NOT bring back all of your customized settings/appearance on Firefox 28, but it will help a little It's recommended that you stay on the latest version to receive the latest security fixes and bug patches but you're free to downgrade if you want.
You can set these prefs in <code>about:config</code> to disable automatic updating:<br>
app.update.auto - false<br>
app.update.enabled - false<br>
app.update.silent - false<br>

E63 keeps asking lock code - cannot disable

Hi,
After installing, using and uninstalling the mail exchange application my e63 keeps asking the lock code. The mail application somehow demanded to use the lock code. Now I have checked the settings many times and I cannot disable it - I cannot disable or set the autolock period above 10 mins -> "unable to unlock phone".
Even restored factory settings but no go. Entering lock code every time I need my phone is annoying.
Any solutions?
BR,
+timo
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Finally, I simple delete my Exchange mail box (also did a refresh of the services but don't know if it was mandatory). And my Lock Code parameters switchs itself automatically to my settings (No lock code) .
So, the Encrypt-Decrypt solution was not necessary for me. Too bad for Microsoft : I will never use Exchange util they fix this MAJOR bug because it's too annoying for me to have a lock on my phone every hour...

Disabling Automatic Scene/Clip Detection in iMovie 8.0.5 (iLife '09)

I can't seem to find a solid answer to this anywhere.
As far as I can tell, iMovie has taken away the ability to disable Automatic Scene Detection.
See, I have several old videos that I've ALREADY edited and printed back to tape. Now I'm trying to re-import these old movies so that I can share them online.
However, when I import from my camera, iMovie is splitting up my edited movies into its own separate clips which are ordered by date.
It's quite annoying! As far as I can tell I would have to reorganize all of these clips and essentially re-edit them. I decided to just bite the bullet and reorganize my clips, however when doing this, the music in my original movies isn't exactly consistent when jumping between clips.
That said, is there any way to import video without iMovie automatically splitting up my clips???
Thanks!

Yes you would need QT Pro c/w QT7, however for much the same price you can upgrade to Snow Leopard which comes with QTX, which allows video, audio and screen recording without additional plug-ins.
