Clips become partly invisible

I'm having this strange problem with iMovie HD:
Everytime I put clips into the clips sequence the last seconds of the clips become invisible. When put back into the clip viewing panel these last seconds become visible again.
Sounds familiair to anyone?
I'm using Snow Leopard. Does this have anything to do with it?

Hi
No not familiar - see if anything in my list helps
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

Modified Files on FCPX... Random files in event folder(that I used to make a multicam clip) become modified and unusable. Is there anything i can do to prevent this?

Since I upgraded to Mavericks, every time I create a multicam clip on FCPX, random files(that were used to make the multicam clip) become modified and unusable(in High Quality). Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
I've tried transcoding, creating proxy media, creating optimized media, plus I've tried none of the above. Thing is, no matter what I do, it still happens(to random files) "after" I make the multicam clip. Is there a setting or something that was accidentally enabled by me or the upgrade?
BTW: Everything seems to work fine when 'playback' is set to proxy. The problem is when I'm ready to export and switch 'playback' to High Quality.

I had this same issue! But fixed it by going into the finder, finding the event, and delted the files out of the "High Quality Media." My project then refreshed to normal and no red modified file slides. The cool part: I din't even shut fcpx down to mess with the files in the finder. It all worked like a charm.
Good luck!

IMovie 10.0 contains glitch. Clips become tinted red when imported.

Just throwing it out there. You are not alone. It was reported to Apple that some imported clips become tinted red in the newest version. A news article. If you would like to help, does anyone have a work around. I must finish an editing project and I've tried everything. After the first few clips, the rest are red. Tried restarting, quiting and reopening, every setting.

I just found the solution for others experienceing this. It seems it happens most with .mov files. I changed to a mp4 by changing the file extension but iMovie still turned it red. The way I found is to convert it using SmartConverter in the app store for OSX to the iPad option.

Hi Ranendra,
For basic understanding of Dashboards and Models you can use standard Templates or samples which ll come along with dashboard designer(Formly Xcelsius) installation.
For path File-->Templates(or Samples).
Under Templates you ll have different categories and for each you ll find the dashboard Templates.

How can I smooth a clip with part cut out?

How can I smooth a clip with part cut out? Someone walked in front of the camera when I was shooting; I removed the frames with the person in them, but this left a slight visual hiccup. What's the best way to smooth this out in APE12?

If you do not have a "cut-away," as Steve mentions, then with those problem Frames removed, I would add a Cross-Dissolve between the two Clips (two Clips, after you have cut out the offending footage), BUT, one thing to consider with any Dissolve Transition, is Handles. You need enough to allow for the Transition - so you might need to Trim the first Clip a few Frames more, and the following Clip, a few Frames less. For a bit more on Handles, see this article: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3727485#3727485
Good luck, and hope that helps.

How do i rotate a video without clipping off parts of it?

Can someone tell me how to do this? I know how to rotate from the help forums:
Rotate a clip
Select the clip in the Timeline.
In the Effects view, click the Edit Effects button.
Expand the Motion effect in the Properties view, and do one of the following:Drag the underlined value to the right of Rotation.
Click Rotate Left or Rotate Right to rotate the clip 90° in either direction.
But when i do this, it chops off the top and bottom portions of my video. I instructed it to leave video aspect ratio, but it wont do so. It still chops off the top and bottom.
Any suggestions? If it helps, its a .avi movie as recorded from a digital camera.
BTW, my free Google Picasa did this in seconds with no aspet ration change with 1 button.....just sayin'

Matthew,
Actually, it did keep the Aspect Ratio, as it is defined, but instead of a horizontal Aspect Ratio of say 4:3, you now have a vertical Aspect Ratio of 4:3. If it kept the horizontal, your image would be squashed in one dimension and then stretched in the other - not what you would likely want.
What you need to do is now treat your vertical image. In most cases, I find it preferable to use the fixed Effect>Motion>Scale, and then effectively crop off parts of the top, or the bottom, or both. This has the disadvantage of having to Scale the image up, and it will begin to degrade in quality, so keep a close eye out for that.
Depending on a few factors, one can use certain artistic treatments to use the vertical image in your horizontal Frame: one could use it as a PiP (Picture in Picture), one could create a background, and just use Motion>Scale to drop the vertical dimension to match the vertical dimension of the Frame, letting the background show on probably both sides. Some videographers will shoot two shots with the camera 90 degrees out of orientation, i.e. on its side, when they want a "split-screen," i.e. PiP with two, side-by-side images, and just Rotate both Clips, and align them in the horizontal frame.
Now, what was your purpose for shooting with the camera on its side? What effect were you trying to obtain?
If this was a mounting issue, such as the camera had to be mounted on its side to get it where it was needed, then the trick is to frame less tightly, knowing that you will be effectively cropping off some of the image, when you Rotate.
Good luck,
Hunt

Rendered Clips Become Unrendered

I have been getting a lot of "Out of Memory" errors in FCP lately... Mainly with one particular project. I have the latest version installed, by the way.
My entire timeline (all footage in ProRes 444 LT) will render out--all but one clip. When I try to render it, I get the error. I will close other sequences and other applications. Sometimes this will fix the problem, sometimes not.
However, the crazy thing is that FCP has also started discarding my rendered files. It will happen when I load my project, having previously rendered all the clips. It wil also happen after rendering... I will render one clip, and after the process is complete, 10 other rendered clips will become unrendered.
Any ideas why this could be happening?

Perhaps because you are editing in a non-existant format? There is no ProRes 444 LT. There is ProRes4444 and there is ProRes 422 LT My guess you are working in ProRes422 LT (more commonly designated as ProResLT around here)
Remove the proplematic clip from the project. It is likely corrupted. Does the program work as expected now? If yes and you need that material in the story, recapture/ reimport it from your backup. If you don't have a backup version, recut the project without it.
If the program is still misbehaving, shut down FCP and delete the FCP Preference files. (Digital Rebellion has a nifty little app - FCS REMOVER - that will do this for you)
After you delete the pref files, the next time you start the program you will need to set things like the scratch disk locations.
Does FCP work as advertised now?

Theme playing full clip, not part...HELP!!!!

When i do a theme in iMovie HD 6 and add a clip it will play from the beginning of the clip, even if i have spliced it into too different clips, i.e. i had a 4 minute video i splied at 2:35 to 2:55 a nice 20 second clip. Whenever i drag that clip into the drop box, imovie plas it as if it was never spliced from the beginning! HELP!!!! ASAP

Hi John
As I remember it - this is an old bug.
Workaround as I would have doen it (I'm a bit tedious - but it works)
• Select clip
• Cut it into size of choise
• Select the desired part
• Export out as a QT streamingDV (or back to Camera and new miniDV tape)
• Import this new clip and use it in Your Theme.

How does a 1.6-gig clip become an 11-gig clip when exported from FCP?

I captured some video and had to do it in two sessions because my camera kept dropping frames. My first clip was 600 megs, my second was 1 gig. I put them into the timeline and synced them up at the break spot. I wanted to have just one file to work on in Shake, so I exported the two clips as a Quick Time movie -- no compression, self-contained -- a 720 X 480 NTSC file.
Even with no compression, I expected to get a 1.6-gig movie out of the export, but it was 11 gigs. Where did the extra data come from? And what is the extra data? It cannot get any more resolution than there was to begin with in the original two clips, right?
Any tips on a more efficient way to handle this situation much appreciated.
JimBe

The two segments were each about three and a half minutes long. The camera was a Sony Handycam DV. I did not have any special settings when I captured, I made one choice, to capture both video and audio. Yes, I did select uncompressed when I exported.
So the camera is acquiring with a codec, it sounds like, but if I select uncompressed on export does that mean FCP will uncompress the compressed footage captured by the camera? I did not think that was possible. Isn't all the information thrown away by the camera when it acquires the footage with its codec?
I was thinking that "uncompressed" export would just give me back what I put in, a 1.6-gig file. I did not want to compress a second time.
Is there an export format choice that just gives you what you had without any manipulation of the original data?

If I buy a song from a single, and I buy a song from an album that that song is in, does that song become part of that album

I bought a single from 30 Seconds to Mars a while ago, Kings and Queens. Now I want to buy the song This is War, from another album with the same name, but the song from the single is also part of that album. If I buy that song, does my single song automatically go under that album in my library, or does it stay a single?

Sounds like you have abn expired credit card linked o yoru accopunt.
View your iTunes account payment info and select None for the CC.
You may need to first add a valid card number before you can remove it.

Photoshop elements 11 drop down & side menus parts invisible

My photoshop elements 11 seems to be completly screwed up. The brush tools and/or healing tools that normally bring up a tool menu at the bottom of the screen have only half of the box visible. I cannot change the options because only half the box is shown or none of the options are visible. Its like only part of the code loaded what is spposed to appear.
The side menu is also missing parts in the very bottom left corner.
It seems like it has something to do with the screen resolution on my macbook. But this is the only program that has the problem.
I have a retna display macbook 11.
I am so frustrated with PE 11, and do not understand why everyone thinks itis so fantastic.
If there is another adobe program someone could suggest, I will listen.

PSE11 runs fine on my Macbook Pro. Are you able to drag out the bottom right corner to fill the screen?
What is your screen size e.g. 11, 13 or 15 inch and resolution?
You could try rebuilding the prefs by clicking the menu in Expert Mode and choosing:
Preferences >> General (under the Adobe PSE menu)
Then click the button to reset prefs on next launch. Close the app and launch again.

Clips become blurry in iMovie editing

I am working on an iMovie '09 (version 8.0.6) project that uses .mov files created with a screen recording application and trimmed with QuickTime. I have imported all these files in their full, original size, and they all looked great in the editing process when I would preview the movie full screen. I opened iMovie a week later, though, and some, but not all, of the clips now appear blurry when I preview the movie. Nevertheless, when I find the imported .mov files in the project library folder and open them with QuickTime, the clips still look great.
I cannot figure out what is causing this annoyance (since I cannot detect any other differences between the blurry and clear clips), let alone how to fix it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreaciated. Thanks!

I dont like to keep aperture on my system drive because it is getting so big, and I would be using close to 75% of the drive space (never a good move in my book)
You might consider to keep your library on your MBP, but relocate those master image files to an external drive, that you will not be needing in the near future (but such a "mixed-masters" scheme - some referenced - some not- will require you to be well organized and to keep track of your storage scheme).
I keep only my most recent projects mananged, and all older projects are referenced to my media drive.
On the front of self contained movies, I dont think aperture can make the distinction can it? For reference they are just files from a DSLR, which have still and movies.
I have not yet explored that properly (I never tried AVI), but I found that Aperture just imports any movie - self contained or not - into the library, and as long as the referenced video clip was on the same disk it worked.

IPod Nano content partly invisible in iTunes

My 2nd generation iPod Nano contains three albums (podcasts) but one of them doesn't show in iTunes. The two others do. I cannot delete this third album. Any ideas for solution?

Howdy Leena-44,
I recommend this iPod nano (2nd generation) Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/nano2gen/. It is very thorough and I am confident will resolve the issue you are seeing with the iPod Nano. The re install section I would save for last if needed but I dont think it will come to that. Here is the first section to get you started:
Reset
To reset your iPod nano (2nd generation):
1. Toggle the Hold switch on and off. (Slide it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
2. Press and hold the Menu and Center (Select) buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears, about 6 to 10 seconds. You may need to repeat this step.
Tip:
If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep.
Take care,
Sterling
