Help - making a movie and the file is jumpy

I'm making a slideshow to show a group of 50 students tonight. I've never had this issue with iMovie before. I have iMovie '11 and OS Lion. The file is like it has scratch marks that appear at various times, whether it's a transition or just displaying a picture.
It's not the end of the world because the file will still play, but it's noticeable that the file is jumpy/glitchy (sorry I don't have a better technical way of describing this).
I have exporting as a quicktime file, it's still there, watched it on other macs and pcs, still there.
Any help would be great. Need to show this tonight!

What do you mean missing?
It downloaded?  It was on your computer?  It then disappeared?

  • Need help making ball move and bounce off of sides of JPanel

    I'm currently working on a program that creates a ball of random color. I'm trying to make the ball move around the JPanel it is contained in and if it hits a wall it should bounce off of it. I have been able to draw the ball and make it fill with a random color. However, I cannot get it to move around and bounce off the walls. Below is the code for the class that creates the ball. Should I possible be using multithreads? As part of the project requirements I will need to utilizes threads and include a runnable. However, I wanted to get it working with one first and than add to it as the final product needs to include new balls being added with each mouse click. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    import java.awt.Graphics;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;
    public class Ball extends JPanel{
        Graphics g;
        int rval; // red color value
        int gval; // green color value
        int bval; // blue color value
        private int x = 1;
        private int y = 1;
        private int dx = 2;
        private int dy = 2;
        public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
            for(int counter = 0; counter < 100; counter++){
                // randomly chooses red, green and blue values changing color of ball each time
                rval = (int)Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
                gval = (int)Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
                bval = (int)Math.floor(Math.random() * 256);
                super.paintComponent(g);
                g.drawOval(0,0,30,30);   // draws circle
                g.setColor(new Color(rval,gval,bval)); // takes random numbers from above and creates RGB color value to be displayed
                g.fillOval(x,y,30,30); // adds color to circle
                move(g);
        } // end paintComponent
        public void move(Graphics g){
            g.fillOval(x, y, 30, 30);
            x += dx;
            y += dy;
            if(x < 0){
                x = 0;
                dx = -dx;
            if (x + 30 >= 400) {
                x = 400 - 30;
                dx = -dx;
            if (y < 0) {
                y = 0;
                dy = -dy;
            if (y + 30 >= 400) {
                y = 400 - 30;
                dy = -dy;
            g.fillOval(x, y, 30, 30);
            g.dispose();
    } // end Ball class

    Create a bounding box using the size of the panel. Each time you move the ball, check that it's still inside the box. If it isn't, then change it's direction. You know where the ball is, (x, y), so just compare those values to the boundary values.

  • Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

    Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
    Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
    http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
    It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
    '''Note:'''
    Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

  • After making a movie and wanting to burn a DVD, I go for iDVD in the 'DEEL'  menu. Then I get the question ' where is iDVD? What is the problem?

    After making a movie and wanting to burn a DVD, I go for iDVD in the 'DEEL'  menu. After couple of seconds I get the question ' where is iDVD?
    What is the problem? I cannot find iDVD in the programs map.
    regards Tonl

    The current Apple thinking is that the entire world has access to fast broadband and wants to distribute home movies to friends and relatives via download (iCloud) rather than mailing them a DVD. The fact that nothing could be further from the truth has so far had no effect on this policy. If you scream and shout loudly enough down the phone Apple may send you a free copy of iDVD. That worked for some, but is now said to have been withdrawn by Apple. Also, you can complain bitterly here, perhaps suggesting that Apple could have provided a choice between using iCloud and burning DVDs:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    Whilst Macs with a Superdrive continue to be able to burn video DVDs, the software for so doing, iDVD, is no longer included in the iLife bundle that comes with OS 10.7 Lion (which also omitted iWeb) or will come with OS 10.8 Mountain Lion. And it is no longer included in the iLife 11 from the online Apple Store: http://www.apple.com/ilife/. Your only solution is to look on Amazon or eBay and try to get an older version that includes iDVD.
    However, the vastly more expensive FCPX can burn a DVD without iDVD or DVD Studio Pro involvement, but lack the themes etc of iDVD.

  • I had Partitioned my Macintosh HD, so now it has two, Macintosh HD and Macinyosh HD 2, but the question is, my computer has an minor update OS X 10.8.2 to 10.8.3, i wan to move all the files as BACKUP to the Macintosh HD 2, but how? Thanks.

    As long as the Macintosh HD 2 partition is just the same size as Macintosh HD to avoid problems in the future, then you can clone one to the other using Carbon Copy Cloner, then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions on both and if you need too you can hold the option key down while booting and select the #2 partition to boot from.
    However you need to set CCC to maintain a pure clone, or else by default it will save the changes between clone updates and overfill your #2 partition.
    Also the #2 is merely a bootable backup alternative and for retrieving the rarely occuring deleted files, don't use #2 for storage or anything you want to save pernamently.
    In addition you also need external clones and backups, as the machine may fail or get lost etc.,

    Sent a 22 MB file and since then unable to receive e-mails and the file keeps "ghosting back" to my recovered messages folder. Help!

    thanks for your reply. I appreciate your taking the time to respond.
    yes, I thought my limits were 20 MB, but I let my client talk me into trying to send it anyway (won't be doing that again). I actually spent some time with the apple tech support person (who was awsome!) and he had me delete some files from my mail folder in the Administrator folder and changed some settings in my mail prefernces.
    Everything is working fine now.

  • Hi, I just started a new movie and the program is running very slow. Is there a way to clean up my iMovie program so that it goes faster? Please help.

    Hi, I just started a new movie and the program is running very slow. Is there a way to clean up my iMovie program so that it goes faster? Please help.

    There is nothing you can do with iMovie program itself.  Slow response in usually due to a shortage of system resources (CPU, RAM and disk space).
    How much free disk space do you have on your boot drive and what is the capacity of the drive?
    You can check memory utilization while running iMovie using Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities).  What does the Memory tab show for Swap used?
    Are you running many other processor-intensive applications a the same time?
    If you have a lot of events and projects, it will help a bit to hide the ones you are not using by moving them from your iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders into an enclosing folder so iMovie doesn't load them.

    Yours sincerely! I just bought a Sony DCR-SD1000 camera only when installing the cd drivers not supported by the operating system Machintosh. I've contacted the seller said the store did not provide for the apple os. How can I move all the files on the camera the port out is to use a USB data cable to a laptop for my macbookpro can not read the contents of the file and the camera. I also want to use the lens on the camera as a substitute for the embedded camera on my macbookpro, what should I do to replace the embedded camera on macbookpro with sony camera so that the camera could be more variety and can I record when I turned macbookpro . Please help for this so that I can quickly capture the results from sony camera to my macbookpro. Thank you.

    See this page http://macosx.com/forums/networking-compatibility/296947-sony-camcorder-my-mac.h tml - might be some helpful tips there.

    Hi
    To get as little problem with my audio I always do.
    • use only .aiff 48kHz 16-bit (from miniDV tape) or 44.1kHz (from Audio-CD) - NO .mp3, .avi, .wma etc - all converted to this - I use Audacity (free on internet) to do this.
    • If Audio is OK in iTunes - I do
    - collect needed audio into a New Play-List
    - Burn this as an Audio-CD (still .aiff - NO .mp3)
    - Use the files on this CD - in my Movie/DVD projects
    And this works very nice
    Still - One can not and shall not try to publish CopyRighted Meterial on You-Tube etc. As this is illegal.

    Look at item properties for the .mov and .dv files. What exactly does it say they are? What drive are they playing back from? Make sure the contents of the viewer are set to fit to window in the View popup at the top of the viewer.
