Clips do not run continuously in iMovie 11

I have iMovie 11 and when I capture clips, iMovie 11 separates clips that are meant to run continuously (my grand-daughter singing a song). How can I get these clips to run continuously ? I am running iMac 10.9.2

I see that your camera is not listed as supported by iMovie 9 (= iMovie '11) (http://help.apple.com/imovie/cameras/en/index.html?lang=en_US) so problems with import aren't entirely surprising. Evidently your video is being split up somewhere during the transfer into multiple files, unfortunately with gaps, rather than a single file. I don't think iMovie will ever split a file into smaller parts during import - at least I've never heard of this happening.
You say "The camera is connected to an external hard drive that I daisy wheel with a connection from external hard drive to the iMac firewire port." So you are transferring video from the camera to a hard drive via firewire as a first step then connecting this drive via firewire to your Mac - correct? Presumably you can see that there are multiple files on the drive - or is there only one at this point?. Even if a second attempt to transfer more directly as suggested by the surrey friends does not result in a single file the gaps might be in different locations and you may be able to piece together a complete movie from overlapping pieces. I don't have any experience in using videotape camcorders so I'm not sure I can help much further.
Best of luck!

Entire frame of mini-dv video clips do NOT show in the iMovie '11 viewer in playback mode

I am editing a wedding video in iMovie11 that was recorded on a mini dv tape. When I move video clips from the event library to the timeline, the entire frame is displayed in the timeline. However, the entire frame of the video clip does NOT show in the iMovie viewer or when I playback the video. I exported the video and burned it to a dvd using Toast 11 pro. The video recorded to the dvd as it was showing in the iMovie viewer... the full frame does not show. I would certainly appreciate any advice as to how to solve my problem. THANK YOU!!!

Is your video shot in 16:9 aspect ratio or 4:3?
You can go to File/Project Properties and set the aspect ratio for the project.
When you get a clip that does not match the project's aspect ratio, you use the Rotate, Crop, Ken Burns tool on the middle toolbar to specify how it should be treated.
FIT will place the entire clip in the movie, and will letterbox (black bars) so that it fits.
CROP will fill the screen, but will cut off the top and bottom of your frame.

My photo IPOD will not run continuously

IPOD is plugged into AC outlet using apple's own adaptor yet it keeps shutting off (usually after 12 hours or so). I want it to run continuously the same as my radio receiver. I have tried 2 different adaptors. Help?
Ryan.

Do you mean it is connected to speakers and headphones and playing music? Or is it just charging?

Facebook app is not running continuously

Facebook App is not running properly in my iPad

Perform a "reset" on the device by pressing down and holding the home button and the sleep/wake button for up to 30secs. until you see a black screen with the Apple logo, then release.
Then test to see if it solved the problem.

PPro CC, some video frames do not run smoothly

I am running Window 7 and using a Canon 5D II to run short movie clips. I have NVIDIA card and when creating a video some of the frames (clips) do not run smoothly. I am very new to Premiere Pro so I need simple explanation of what could be wrong. Thank you for helping me!!

Hi there,
why should someone tell you what to do? You already posted the resolution (maybe without knowing it)
> Wenn I install windows clean again and then play this video then he wil work properly, after i install word,exel,my printer,virusdriver and so on, then the video will not work anymore smootly.
So, if you install applications, then usually the system performances drops, due to freshly installed services, tools in the systemtray or background applications which all is coming with that stuff
(word,exel,my printer,virusdriver) you mentioned.
So in my honest opinion, I suggest you reinstalling your system, and then do the following:
install at first ONE application (e.g. office) and try to play your video. Should the video run smoothly then continue installing the next software (like anti-virus) and check it again.
If the video runs smoothly after every new installed software, continue installing the next one.
But if you recognize, that the video begins running with stuttering and slower speed, then the last application youve installed is the software which uses too much system resources.
If you find out which application causes the video running not so smoothly, then try to find an alternative software which does not need so much system-power from your computer.

Flash swf not running properly in captivate

Hi,
I'm not sure if this is a flash question or a captivate question so I'm posting it to both forums. I have numerous flash cs5 built swfs inserted into a captivate 5 project. All of them are running fine apart from this one. It runs perfectly outside of captivate but within the captivate swf it goes haywire. It's a very simple fla. The only actionscript involved is a stop action. There is a movie clip that uses a number of classic tweens and then there is a layer containing textual explanations for what's happening in the movie clip. When I run my captivate project the swf does one or other of the following:
a) it runs but the movie clip starts earlier than the text and so they are out of synch
b) the text runs as normal but the movie clip does not run at all
c) it only shows the final frame of the swf and nothing else happens.
As I say, it is a very simple fla and I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what's wrong. I don't seem to be able to attach the fla here, so if anybody thinks they may be able to help please pm me with your email address and I will email you the fla file.
Just to note some of the things I have already considered: the text is all set to classic rather than TLF. The captivate project and the fla both publish as3 at 12fps for flash player 9.
yours hopefully!

How to make my waveform in control and design simulation run continuously?

Hi all, i m a begineer of Labview and have some question to ask.
I am using the Labview to design and implement a controller for FOPTD system, but i found that the waveform in the "control and simulation loop" is not running continuously. I mean it keep repeat in the same graph from 0 to 10second. Is there any approach to make it run continuously?
Thankyou very much.
Solved!

Well, my suggestion then is to do the following: change final time from Inf back to 10 s (or whatever number that capture the whole simulation) and do a while loop around the Control and Simulation Loop with a "wait until next ms" function to give you time to react and change parameters, like this below. This would make LabVIEW to do the whole simulation, wait for 1000 ms and then, run the simulation again with new parameters. If you need more time, just need to change the constant wired to the "wait until next milisecond".

Why is my external hard drive running continuously while running iTunes?

Ever since the latest iTunes update, my 1TB external hard drive (which holds all of my iTunes music and apps, etc.) is constantly running. It used to cycle down after I stopped playing music or a movie or updated my apps, but now it is constantly running. I have to quit iTunes or sometimes shut my whole computer down in order for my hard drive to stop running continuously becasue I don't want it to burn out.

I found out that although my external drive could be read by my Mac, it was not formatted for the Mac journaling. I transferred all of my files from the 1 TB hard drive over to another drive, reformatted it as Mac Journaled, transferred all of the files back onto that drive and now it does not run continuously. I think the Mac was trying to journal the files, but couldn't do it. It now runs great.
It is discussed more over there:

Can someone please help me?
Thanks,

Add the -Continuous parameter to the end of your job step if it is not already there.
Then start your agent.

IPhoto video clips does not work in iMovie

I just installed Leopard and ilife '08 into my MAC.
The video clips from my iPhoto library are not shown properly in iMovie. I'm only able to hear the sound of the clip but unable to watch it. when i skim through the clip, i don't see anything on the viewer, i just hear skimming through the sound. when i tried to play the clip, just the sound began to play. even the thumbnail does not show a picture of the clip, its just grey.
Can someone help me please???

Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 44.100 kHz
As post in your other topic, this looks like it should be compatible.
I've captured video from my built-in isight camera in my MacBook. when i was trying to skim through or play the video clip in iMovie, the clip didn't appear in the side viewer. I am able to hear the voice of the clip and even see the thumbnail clearly but not in the viewer.
This sounds like part of your original problem. Suggest you try importing the same files to an alternative platform and/or possibly an alternative user account to see if the problem is "global" on your system and "limited" to your system only. Suspect you may have a bad install or corrupted application that may simply be generating unusable "thumbnails" here. You basically need to isolate the problem to see if it is in OS and/or application. For instance, did you update to iMovie v7.1 before or after installing Leopard or better yet, have you installed all of the updates?

Hello dwb,
Here is the screen shot, just the top half, there are another 10 pages, but I guess this should enough for you to have an idea of waht is going on, bit small I am afraid. No, I don't have any apps setup to run when I open my computer, the kernel, varies between 290 and 305 per cent ish.
Would that PRAM thing help ? I think it may be the computer itself, well something inside, as this the first time that the fan has ever started running since I have this computer, even when I have 3 or 4 apps running.
Thank you again for your advice,

Whenever I run Firfox 4.0, my computer fan runs continuously. I have disabled all plug-ins, and I get the same result. This did not happen with Firefox 3.x, and it doesn't happen with IE 8.0. Any ideas?

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Not enough memory space for clips recorded (transfer from DV to imovie)

Hi.
This is one question that I have always wanted to ask, but since I hard edit a long video clips, so I have been procrastinating to ask this question.
Recently, been asked to film a childcare performance for a friend. estimated amount of clips I would captured will be at least 1 hr-worthed.
Here's the thing, my powerbook has a memory of 40G, I think I am left with only 2-3 G to play with. Mostly taken up by software.
However, I do have an external hard drive that have about 30G-worthed of memory still.
But the question is how to import the DV clips from video cam to powerbook, tapping into the external hard disk space instead of the internal hard disk?
I am working on a very urgent timeline. SO will really appreciate your help and advise on this. Thanks very much!
Cheers.

The problem with this is that you have to have iMovie
installed on the external hard drive first. After
that, you would open iMovie (external drive) and
create a project (external drive) and work on it
there (external drive).
Yeah, the clips go to your internal disk because
that's where you have iMovie. To use your external
drive for iMovie, you most likely need to have it
there (external) first.
Sorry, Cristobal, but that's incorrect. The location of the iMovie application does not control the location of the iMovie project. The iMovie application should be allowed to remain in the Applications folder, where it was installed.
The user decides the location of the project when creating a new project. When you choose File > New Project, the save file dialog that opens lets you navigate to any drive, and save the project in any folder of that drive. It works exactly like every other Mac application.
All video imported from the camera is stored inside the currently-active project, whichever drive that project resides on. It's not necessary to tell iMovie where to import the video. It goes in the active project.
If you want to move an existing project to a different drive, that's possible too. Just drag it there and discard the project on the source drive.

I have a VI with menu barattached i want to remove the menu bar.I am able to remove the menu bar in run continuously mode.but not in normal mode how do i do it in normal mode

I have a VI with menu bar.I am able to remove menu bar in continuous mode by setting window appearence.But i want the menu bar to be removed at normal mode also.How do i do it

You can trun off the menu while the VI is running by going into the VI properties (right click on the VI icon and select 'Properties). Then from the Catagory selestion box, select Window Appearance, click the Customize button, then uncheck the Show Menu Bar check box and hit OK twice. That shold do it.
Note that this will only turn off the menu while the VI is running. The standard menu will always be showing when the VI is not running.
