Full screen playback won't play from the playhead

Hi all,
I'm using I-Movie 11.  When I try to play in full screen (either by using cmd+G or going through the 'view' menu) it will not play from where the playhead is.  Instead it seems to start from random clips in my event.  If I am already watching part of an event and then try to move to watching in full screen, this also happens and the playback jumps back to a random point.
It used to work fine and I don't have this problem if trying to view a project. Does anyone have any clues about why this might have happened or how I might fix it?
Thanks,
Jen

The problem was resolved just by restarting the computer.  My son read elsewhere that the video player may have been trying to run in 64 bit mode while his older OS X is in 32 bit mode.  Restarting seemed to reset it.

  • Full Screen Video won't Play

    I'm trying to resolve an issue on my son's macbook pro that's about 2.5 yrs old.  Sorry I don't know what OS is on it.  He's reporting to me that he can view video when it is embeded in a webpage, but when going to full screen, the audio keeps going but the video is black.  The same thing happens when he tries to play a video from a DVD.  It will do the audio, but the video is black.  Thanks for the help!

  • Audio won't play from the start of the slide

    Good afternoon all,
    I'm new at this and recently created my first instructive
    demo. I recorded and have everything synching up fine but the audio
    in two of the slides WON'T start the audio from the first words
    recorded. The audio begins in the middle of the second or third
    word spoken.
    This only happens when I play the entire demo or from a
    certain point in the demo to the end. If I play the two slide with
    the audios indiviually you can hear my every word from start to
    finish and if I play the audio ONLY I hear it fine also.
    I have tried starting the audio a few seconds after the
    screen being demonstrated starts, re-recording the audio, adding
    silence in the beginning.........................anyone have any
    suggections. I've done everything I know to do but start over from
    scratch.........I didn't say that...........LOL!

    My suggestion was going to be ensure the audio file starts a
    second or
    two after the slide starts, but seems you're already doing
    that.
    So if you've tried all those things and no luck, then I'd
    recreate the
    slide entirely.
    Insert a blank slide, copy the background from the problem
    slide to the
    blank slide ('paste as background'), then insert the audio
    and test it.
    If it works as expected, then copy/paste any other screen
    elements from
    the problem slide, then delete that problem slide.
    Helps?

  • Full screen playback jittery with Aero enabled

    Hello,
    Currently running the CS5 trial on a new (built specifically for cs5) W7 64 based Dell 12-core Xeon box with three monitors attached via two Nvidia Quadro 3800 cards and am having issues with the full screen playback - namely, when my third monitor  is enabled for full screen playback (connected via DVI>HDMI, 1920x1080@50Hz - yes I'm in PAL land) and my sequence matches, e.g. 50Hz - the playback is jittery (vsync slowing frame rate)- disabling Aero causes most of this to go away but now desktop video has to be disabled and there is some horizontal tearing (e.g. the vsync is now working but slightly adrift).
    Googling around seems to indicate others with similar problems so this might be a W7 problem - has anybody else seen this kind of issue, and if so got a decent resolution?
    I'd rather not have to splash out on unneccesary HDSDI and then HDSDI>HDMI I/O's when on paper a monitor connected via HDMI should playback correctly (which Windows Media Center does) - it also doesn't seem too much to ask for full screen playback to work 'out of the box', does it? How else are we expected to do this otherwise?
    I've filed a bug report on this but any other ideas or suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks
    Sacha Goodwin

    2. First thing I did was a clean install of W7 (Enterprise), I always start from vanilla install.
    I'm a bit unsure about your tuning guide - can you document what improvements you get after changing said settings? I note the option "Adjust Visual Effects and check Adjust For Best Performance" is one way to turn off Aero (which I've tried anyway), which whilst sort of resolving the original problem, unfortunately now causes other display issues (and also caused CS5 to crash when using the source trimmer window) so have had to switch it back.
    Turning off the services as you are suggesting seems a bit drastic just to get a plain DV clip without any FX to playback smoothly (e.g. CPU util is about 3% in these situations, network at about 5%, disk not doing anything).. it's the kind of thing I would have done about 10 years ago but modern machines are supposedly built around HD multimedia so it seems odd to still be expected to do this kind of thing now.
    FYI, this was the thread that suggested turning off Aero to fix:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproperf/thread/d4f155d8-6ff6-4741-bb2d-8 ed184b7a45c
    Out of interest, what do other people use to get full HD preview under CS5? Is it all OK out there in NTSC land @ 60fps?
    Thanks

  • Full Screen Playback Control Impossible Using Monitor 2 in Dual Monitor

    Recent iTunes update (patch didn't fix) causes playback control to disappear when the cursor is on the monitor showing the movie. Controls reappear when cursor is moved to first monitor. User cannot get the cursor near the control panel. Must drop out of full screen playback to touch controls with the cursor.

    Isn't there a SINGLE MONITOR option in COLOR? Use that.
    I don't think two graphics cards will work with Color, as Color relies on the card when it comes time to render. Might mess it up, or not work.

  • Full screen playback on second monitor results in having to force quit Premier if a window opens on the second monitor.

    Run into this problem a few times now. If I have full screen playback going to my second monitor, and then I try to do something like link media and the link media window opens on that second monitor I can't figure out a way to get to it. I end up having to force quit. Because the link media window causes all other application buttons to disable while it is open I have not been able to find a solution other than force quitting, reopen and disable full screen playback, open link media window and move it to the other monitor and then again enable full screen playback.
    Has anyone run into this? Am I missing an easy solution?

    You need to set up your Graphics Card Application first eg A and B Monitors , side by side etc.
    In my case..a  NVidea Display Application does this from the Control Panel
    Then the second monitor will appear in display setting (Premiere).
    My second monitor is entirely dedicated to full screen playback display.

  • While in imovie, when working on a project, I can NOT view the project in the right hand screen. I have made several videos and it has always worked before. I am not able to edit the videos because they won't play in the right hand screen.

    The videos that I import (and are located on the bottom of imovie) will show up and play on the right hand screen. But if I move that clip to the actually project area it won't play in the right hand side! I somehow must have clicked something that now won't play the project videos and now plays the clips below instead! Help please I need to fix this! Everythign else works, I can still edit videos, add transitions, music, etc I just can't see it on the right hand side- so I can't edit because I can't see

    See my post here on how to do this.

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • Why won't my adobe edge animations play from the start each time they are loaded on an Adobe DPS layout?

    Hi there
    I have an adobe DPS document with several pages, and edge animations on each page. I want each animation to play from the start when each page is opened, however, the playback seems to be very inconsistent. Some animations play from the start, others half way through, and some playback incorrectly. I want to also be able to return to each page and have the animations reload, instead of just displaying the final frame of the animation.
    I have played around with the delay time which doesnt seem to fix it.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi, Im DPS projects medias like video, audio, animation html5 dosen´t reload inside the same article, just between the articles. Better produce articles just one page and change pages with horizontal swipe Regards

  • HT204291 How does one get full screen when using air play on my tv from my iPad,thanks in advance

    How does one get a full screen when using air play on my tv when I'm mirroring,.? Thanks in advance

    The iPad's display is 4:3, so it cannot fill your TV screen, which is 16:9
    The only way is to change your TV settings and stretch the image.

  • Is there a photo album app that let's you add a photo to an album from the full-screen view of a photo, not the just thumbnail view?

    Is there a photo album app that let's you add a photo to an album from the full-screen view of a photo, not the just the thumbnail view?

    ...It's just really annoying to try to organize photos into an album when you can't see the full screen version of the photo... especially if you have several similar-looking photos, and you can't tell the one you want from looking at 40 thumbnails on an iPhone screen.

  • Why won't my Intel iMac boot up, either from the internal hard drive or the DVD drive? It just displays a light grey screen, without any other icons, etc. The fact that it won't boot from the original system DVD is what baffles me the most. Any ideas?

    If the C key for Install Disc or R Command for OS X Recovery startup commands are not working, try holding the Option key for the Startup Manager.
    see > Startup Manager: How to select a startup volume
    If that does not work and you using a wireless keyboard, it may have become unpaired and you need to dig up a USB keyboard to invoke the startup commands.

    When did yours come out? what does the above show as model and minimum build?
    You should have yoru OEM OS X DVD, not one from another Mac, or retail, though the last retail OS X DVD was a year ago 10.6.3.
    If it installed, I don't see an issue unless the drive had corrupt directory etc.
    What you need to do is repair your boot drive or restore from backup.
