Clips freezing before a cut

Hi,
When I playback my clips in my timeline, before each cut to the next clip, it freezes for a couple of frames. I've tried adding a dissolve, and the clip doesn't freeze as it's dissolving, but obviously for some transitions I just want a simple cut.
Hope you can help, thanks

I am actually having the same problem. For what it's worth, it only does this when you play the project in iMovie. Once you export the project, it sews the clips together seamlessly and there is no "freeze" at the end of each separate clip during playback.
I'm not sure why it does this before rendering. My clips are tiny (file size and duration) and they reside locally on my Mac (with a 7200rpm hdd), so it's not likely this delay is caused by seek time to pull the data for the next clip.
We would appreciate some help if anybody has found a solution.

  • Unwanted freeze frame after cutting out clip

    I have a video clip I want to cut a bit out of. I split the playhead (Apple-T) before and after the bit I want to remove, remove the bit I don't want, and join the remaining clips together.
    When I play the movie back, the last frame before the cut freezes on the screen for a few seconds, covering the first part of the clip after the cut.
    When I scroll the playhead (using the arrow keys), the video looks normal. I only see the frozen frame when I play it.
    I've tried adding a transistion, but the frozen frame pops up after the transition. I've added black space, but the frozen frame appears after the black space.
    The audio either plays normally or stutters a bit.
    This doesn't happen all the time, but I'd like to know how to fix or prevent it.
    Thanks,

    If all else fails I'd select the offending clip and maybe also the neighbouring clips and export them as Full Quality DV and import it back. If that single concatenated clip plays OK you could delete the duplicates.
    If also that fails, I'd re-import the offending clip from tape.
    If also that fails, I'd start regular troubleshooting about some more widespread problem.

  • HT3130 trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop.  Only 1:08 seconds exports.  I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08.  Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

    trying to export a 4 minute video to desktop.  Only 1:08 seconds exports.  I've tried other clips and they all cut at 1:08.  Used different exports like Quicktime with the same results.

    Good to hear that you've had some success with the import.
    I tried 3 times to do it before I finally changed it to H.264, and it worked on the first try.  The quality of the compression was terrible with those settings compared to my standard settings, but I'm just glad it worked.
    Rather than Share>Export using QuickTime and then choosing your own settings for H.264, you may get a better result if you simply use the Share>Export Movie option. Alternatively, use the Share>Media Browser option (as I mentioned in my earlier post). You will be presented with a range of sizes to choose from. Depending on your target, it's usually best to select the highest size available, such as Large, HD 720p or HD 1080p. However, for producing a DVD it's best to not go beyond the HD 720p size, as the DVD will be downscaled during encoding to Standard Definition in the appropriate size for either PAL or NTSC.
    In my experience, both these options (Export Movie or Media Browser) produce a video file of excellent quality. The files will be in H.264 format and will have the file extension .mov or .m4v depending on the size of the export. I'm assuming that your camera records HD video in AVCHD format.
    These files work well with iDVD (or other DVD authoring programs). The export process for the presets is optimised by Apple to produce high quality video files at a reasonable file size. So, selecting a preset may give you a much better result. Choosing your own H.264 settings when using the "Export using QuickTime" method could be why "the compression was terrible". You may have selected a data (bit) rate that was too low. There is always a trade-off between quality and file size when compressing video.
    So, to summarise, try one of the Apple presets using either Share>Export Movie or Share>Media Browser.

  • Clips freezing

    I've begun making a movie via iMovie '08 and am having a problem with parts of clips freezing. It seems like every few clips, the clip freezes. I've been working on this for days and can't figure out what's going on. I go in, split the clip, delete the frozen part and continue on.
    Anyone know where the problem may be? I'm using a new Sony hard drive mincam, had no trouble downloading the movies, etc.
    Thanks!

  • My clips freeze! Help!

    I have just installed iLife '09 and now my iMovie is playing tricks on me. when I drag a clip to my project box with other clips and try to play it back, it seems to stutter and freeze before proceeding on to the next clip. The audio from the actual clip keeps moving, but the image just freezes. This makes for a very annoying project.
    I have also tried trashing and reinstalling... no luck. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

    David,
    Can you be very specific about what Imovie preferences you suggest deleting in your message below? Are they the files ending in .plist? I have an almost completed Imovie that is suddenly trapped in the application. When the app opens up, the cursor disappears and the rolling beach ball appears and won't go away. I cannot do anything with the movie project or the movie events. The whole thing is frozen.
    I have cleaned up the hard disk so that there are some 168 GB now available. Even this doesn't change a thing. I've been on the phone with Apple help for the past two weeks and even they don't know what to do. Have you ever heard of this happening?

  • Toshiba Satellite L505D wont go into sleep mode. Freezes before power light blinks yellow.

    When i try to put my laptop into sleep mode by closing the lid, it freezes before it enters sleep mode. i get a black screen when i pick the lid back up, and the power light stays green, instead of blinking yellow like its supposed to. Last time i remember it working properly was around June 6th, i took my laptop to my buddy's place so we could watch the new Halo 4 trailers and i know it worked properly on both the car ride over and the car ride home. anyone have any ideas whats wrong?

    Let's make some experiments.
    What happens when you boot into Safe Mode?
       Start your computer in safe mode
    Also, what happens when you boot normally into another account? If necessary, create one.
       Create a user account
    Always tell us which Satellite L505D you have. There is a label on the bottom.

  • Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

    Why wont my clips import into Final Cut Pro ?

    FCP doesn't work with 3GPP, which is basically a cellphone compression format. FCP only works with media in the QuickTime framework. It only works with video in standard video frame resolutions, which 800x480 isn't, and with video that uses uncompressed audio, while yours is compressed.
    Standard definition video is 720x480 at 29.97fps with uncompressed 48k audio in a production codec, which H.264 isn't; it should be either DV or DV50 or ProRes.

  • Gnome/GDM Issue - System freeze before starting Gnome every reboot.

    Hi guys, sorry for my bad english.
    I've a strange problem with Gnome/GDM DE.
    Yesterday, I have installed gnome on my laptop but it works 1 times every 2.

  • Video clips freeze up when an audio part is locked to it.

    I have imported around 200 clips. When I extract the audio from a clip and lock it to another clip for a voice-over, the video part of the clip freezes and then lurches ahead to wherever the playhead is. When I tried to attach a song to a clip from iTunes, the same thing happened. This did not happen in the past (Dec. 2007) but I have recently upgraded the OS and iMovie. I checked for the minimum requirements for iMovie 5.0.2 and the apple site says, "g3 400mhz and 256mb ram". I have QuickTime 7.5 installed. Is it the processor not being able to handle the newer version of iMovie?

  • Upgraded MacBookPro6,2 to Lion and now computer freezes before login

    Hi everyone,
    As the subjed line says, I upgraded to Lion and everything smoothly (aparently), but after I tried to install Xcode for Lion the pc started getting slower and slower. The 10.7 Core libraries never installed (kept failing) and now the computer freezes before I can login. I tried to reinstall Lion (Pressing ⌘+R after hard powerdown) and following the prompts, but that failed. No reasons why, it just said user cancelled.
    Before I wipe out my hard drive, is there something else I can do? Any help is appreciated.
    Thanks

    I am typing this reply from my MacBook Pro after recovering from the problem above. This post is for anyone else who might have the same problem. These are the steps to follow to be able to log back in:
    Power down the computer and then press ⌘+R while powering up. This is called Lion Recovery, according to this knowledge base article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    In the options presented, select Disk Utility and verify the hard drive (HD) and repair the permissions on it. If your HD is not OK after verifying it, you will need to repair the HD as well.
    Once the step above is complete, restart the computer.
    Log in as normal.
    Once you log in, it is important to find and solve whatever is causing the freeze.
    In my case, it was a botched Xcode installation. If you do not fix the problem, the computer will freeze again next time you restart it, so make sure you check everything and uninstall anything that you may have installed recently. Some Adobe applications have known issues as of this posting (July 2011), so definitely remove anything new from Adobe you may have installed after upgrading to Lion or in the last couple of weeks.
    Final note: If you cannot find the problem and your computer freezes again the next time you restart, you can regain access to it by following the steps above. Follow them, log in and make a backup of your important stuff and either go back to Leopard or contact Apple support for further instructions.
    Good luck!

  • Windows XP Machine Freeze before Login Screen 2015

    Has there been any Windows updates applied recently that may be causing this? Has any new hardware been added to them? A virus seems unlikely but not impossible. How old are the machines and how many is this happening to?
    When you get to System Restore, what is the last checkpoint showing as having a Restore point created for? It is quite likely that that event is causing this
    You really need to look at getting off XP - it is out of support and is going to have more and more of these problems

    Hi All,
    Suddenly all machines running Windows XP just freezes before the login screen comes. 
    Windows boots up. Showing the LOGO but just before the login screen comes it just freezes.
    I have performed system restore some restore and boots up but some does not restore.
    On Some of the computers that have been restored successfully, this problem has reoccured. The are instance where we have formatted a machine completely, but after a while this problem reoccurs. 
    I am suspecting a virus but not totally sure.
    Can anyone help

  • Slowing clips down in final cut express hd

    how do you slow clips down in final cut express hd. i can't figure this out and i can't find anything online to help me, so please explain how i do that.
    thanks.

    yeah and if the mouse is tired and sleeping or asleep or whatever, you can invoke the command j (command=apple key) keyborad shortcut - dont forget to select (click on) the clip you want to work on first.
    (heck, that probably means waking up the mouse...)

  • Clips Freeze!

    Hi,
    Very often when I try to use clips from Andrew Kramer's Evolution, the clips freeze in After Effects. The rest of my animations will play fine. A flourish for example, will just appear without being 'animated' on, or it will skip lots of frames, or the content will simply disappear from the comp, while remaining on the timeline.. This happens to many different clips from the Evolution pack, and I can't understand why?? The clips play fine in quicktime...
    I tried rendering out my comp and the same happens..
    Any ideas???
    Thanks!!

    I'm using After Effects cs3 (8.0.0.247) on a mac.. The problem is unpredictable.. it only happens sometimes.. and never in a consistent way. I suppose I'll try converting the clips in QT, but there are lots of them, so that will take a while, but if I have no choice then I'll do that.
    Do you know if there is a fix, or update that corrects this problem?
    Thanks!!
