Horn section drops out in Garageband '11? (6.0.4)

Some of the software instruments, such as pop horns, drop out after a measure or so, depending on how high a note its playing. It seems like garageband was trying to make it sort of realistic but its very annoying. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this?

For most of the Horn sections the articulation is preset as "staccato" or "legato", but the articulation for a single note also may depend on the setting of the velocity slider, so a high velocity might turn a legato instrument into a staccato instrument on some notes with high velocity:
For the horns I use, I found the following articulation settings in the documention, but they do depend on the instrument:
Jam Pack 1Funk Horn Section: Horn section with bright EQ , Highest velocity adds stab down from note.
Jam Pack 4: Symphony Orchestra Instruments, Instrument Articulations:
          Orchestra French Horn: legato: 0-63, staccato: 64-127
          Orchestra Fr. Horn Section: legato: 0-39 staccato: 40-87, crescendo: 88-127
          Orchestra Trumpet Section: legato: 0-63, staccato: 64-127
          Orchestra Trombone Section: legato: 0-63, staccato: 64-127
          Orchestra Tuba legato: 0-63, staccato: 64-127

Audio drop-out in FCPX with 1920x1080 & 2048x1240p @ 24p (codec Apple ProRes 4444 (Linear PCM))24p

Hi all...
I'm new to this forum.
Is there an audio issue (drop-outs) with FCPX (ver 10.1.2) for 1920x1080 24p, 1080p HD & 2048x1240 24p (2k) - note: films in FCPX are in codec Apple ProRes 4444, Linear PCM?
Very recently I've been working on a show reel and I have imported a file (short film) to snip out a section to add to the show reel.
I set the project to the film's settings i.e.. "set based on first video clip"...(1920x1080 24p, 1080p HD). When I play the film in FCPX the audio "hic-cups"..."dips to silence"..."drops-out" briefly (up to 0.5 secs in duration) and very frequently all the way through (approx 15 mins long film)...note: audio set is at stereo 48kHz. The audio monitors on the right hand side also show the dip taking place (if it's a long enough drop-out).
I also have a version of the film in 2048x1240 24p at 2k, again Stereo 48kHz...and this does the same audio "drop-out" all the way through. I'm unsure what other formats will create this problem i.e. higher or lower aspect ratios than those above.
Is this a software and/or OS issue? Or a hardware issue? Or both!?
About This iMac details:
iMac 27 inch: OS X ver 10.9.4
Processor: 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
Fusion Drive 3.12 TB
Final Cut Pro X was bought & installed with this iMac back in Feb 2014
FCPX version: 10.1.2
Note also: I used Compressor (ver 4.1.2) to convert the files (movies) above to Apple ProRes 422 HQ, Linear PCM and the issue disappeared - the audio and visuals played with no problems. All films play with no issue when opened in QT player. They are also fine when exporting from FCPX. The issue only occurs (as far as I can tell) within FCPX when editing or playing the audio there.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Kind Regards,
Hakan

Hi Luis,
Thank you for that.
Seems like you have a point about the "hardware" issue. I'm unsure (new to it all) at what data rate my (er...wonderful) fusion drive provides FCPX for smooth playback - or where I can find that info on the iMac. Playing back movies in the 422 HQ codec seems to have no issues (when I converted the movie from 4444 HQ).
But playing the full 4444 HQ, the picture is smooth, but the audio has these drop-outs - even with "best performance" option ticked. Interesting that the audio suffers, not the picture in FCPX - so not sure what's going on there. I also read - perhaps - that to play a smooth ProRes 4444 HQ movie in FCPX the data rate should be min of 500 Mbs (based upon About Apple ProRes) for HD movies and up (i.e. 2k). ProRes 422 HQ needs a data rate of 220 Mbs - so that is my upper-limit to smooth video&audio playback with the current system I have, I guess.
Does anyone recommend a fast USB3 or Thunderbolt drive (500Mbs+) where I am able to run 4444HQ movies with no issues to picture or sound (away from the fusion drive)?

Apple TV & Homehub 3 Home Sharing Drop Out

Good morning all and my apologies for posting this in the BT Vision section but I didn't know where else to go.
I've had BT Infinity for a few months now and been generally happy with the service. I'm a Mac user and at the weekend I decided to purchase an Apple TV 3. One of the main things I wanted to do with the ATV3 was to be able to use Home Sharing from my iTunes on my Mac. I set everything up and it was all looking good, within minutes I was happily streaming video to my Apple TV. 5 minutes into playback however it dropped out. It said on the Apple TV that Home Sharing needed to be enabled, I went back to the Mac, Home Sharing was enabled but I reconnected it again and it started working again. 5 minutes later again it disconnected.
I'm no network/router expert but even then I knew something was wrong. I started to trawl the Apple forums looking for people with similar issues and found a LOT! Problem is that everyone has different routers, issues, fixes and none of the solutions I tried seem to work for me, such as changing the channel on the router, reboots etc.
Basically I'm just really stuck now. I'm not the most technical of people (but I do know some stuff) but I'd love some advice if anyone can help. At the moment the Apple TV is practically unusable for me and I really would love to be able to have this working as when it does work for those brief few minutes it works really well and does exactly what I want it to.
Many thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I should add I found the following on the Apple forums although this seemed to be quite an old post (2 or 3 years) and was for an older Home Hub as when I checked I couldn't seem to add the Port Maps in the same way as this post and got confused
Solution:
1. Update the software on Apple TV (Settings | General | Update software)
2. Perform windows update (Start | All programs | Windows update)
3. Obtain the latest release of iTunes software. Run iTunes. From the iTunes menu select About | Check for updates. I am running version 9.1.1.12.
4. Check that you can view movie trailers from Apple TV. If you can't then you the apple TV has not connected to the BT home hub wireless network. You need to enter the BT home hub wireless key (which is found on the back of the bt home hub) as you password when you connect your apple TV to the wireless network. Check again that you can view Movie trailers. Don't proceed until you can.
5. Enter the BT home hub manager (Start | All Programs | BT Home Hub | Hub manager). Select Advanced. Enter admin as the username and your password to your hub. This is either a password you entered when you first set up the hub or the S/N number printed on the back of the BT Home Hub. Click continue to advanced. Select Application sharing. Select Create a new game or application.
Enter MyAppleTV against Name. Select Manual Entry of Port Maps.
Enter this Information one line at a time:
Protocol | Port range | Translate To ... | Trigger Protocol | Trigger Port
TCP | 123 | TCP | TCP | 1
TCP | 3689 | TCP | TCP | 1
UDP | 5353 | UDP | UDP | 1
TCP | 80 | TCP | TCP | 1
TCP | 443 | TCP | TCP | 1
TCP | 53 | TCP | TCP | 1
6. In BT home hub manager navigate to the devices menu, just above application sharing. And select MyAppleTV from the drop down menu and assign it.
7. Turn the power off on the Apple TV, BT home hub, and PC. You must turn the BT home hub off.
8. Turn on Home hub, PC. Wait for your network to return. When it has turn on apple TV.
9. Open up iTunes. In the menu select Edit | Preferences | Apple TV. Check that Check for Apple TVs is selected.
10. In iTunes under Library and Store, Devices should appear and within Devices Apple TV should appear.
11. If this does not work then phone Apple support and do not let them fob you off by offering you a replacement Apple TV.

Broadband Drop Outs

Hey guys
Looking for some advice.
Currently living in a house with BT Infinity (its rented so I'm not the bill payer), when Infinity was installed everything worked fine - no problems at all.
Recently however (and I'm not convinced something hasn't been damaged by the building site directly opposite the house) we get constant broadband drop outs. Interestingly it also does appear to get worse during heavy rain.
Our BT Home Hub is a Home Hub 2.0 (I think), firmware version shows as:
Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.94.1.11 (Type A)
The hub and the other white box have been restarted many times, it doesn't make a difference.
Since we started having issues, to rule out this being a WiFi related issue, I have a linux netbook attached directly to the Home Hub via Ethernet cable to run tests on. The majority of the time, the connection is fine (and we get a 100% ping return), however we appear to go through prolonged periods of losing about 50% of all pings on my tests. During these period, no computers on the network appear to be able to load any pages from the internet, but pings to the hub are always 100% (unless the hub was being restarted by one of us).
To keep tabs on things, I ran a tracert to www.google.co.uk and then scraped all of the nearby IPs from it (so the first few hops). Using that, I wrote a quick bash script to send out pings and then record to a text file anytime they fail. For anyone who is interested the bash script being used is here: http://pastebin.com/uEycEpdy
The output from the bash script after running all weekend is here:
19/01/14 (running from midday): http://pastebin.com/mtc5Euu0
20/01/14 (ending at 5:30pm) 1: http://pastebin.com/xnScepvy 2: http://pastebin.com/XQRk9eWW
It's ultimately weird! Its also worth noting that all of the lights on the Hub remain blue even when the connection is dead on the computers. It does appear during the issues the netbook can't even ping the first IP address (first hop) after our hub so wondering if it is a line issue (although the line checker on the website says its fine).
Any ideas? Since BT won't talk to me and we don't have a landline phone to test if there is a dial tone I'm wondering it anyone has any suggestions? Currenty bugging the landlord to sort it but you know what they are like!
Many thanks!

Audio briefly drops out for a few seconds

I about half way through a recorded Keynote presentation, the narration audio drops out (goes blank) for a few seconds. It doesn't affect timing.
I've checked the narration file and it's just fine. Narration was done in Garageband. I've re-recorded the presentation again, and it drops out at exactly the same place. The narration was done in one step, so it's not a problem with the method in Garageband.
Keynote 9, v 5.3. 27" iMac, OSX 10.8.5, 16Gb Ram.
Any ideas of how to solve it?
Many thanks,
Bill

Unfortunately there's no fix for this problem that plagues Classic since release. Considering that a new generation appeared I guess we have no reason to expect a fix anymore.
I also have the problem and it makes the iPod Classic less desirable to be used as a music player than a generic $10 (no name) usb stick.

RAID1 - harddisk partly dropped out

Hi all,
I'm irritated by the behavior of my RAID1, because one of the harddisks partly fell out of the array.
I have two 1-TB-harddisks in my machine and I parted both with a 100 MB-Partition for boot and a second partition using almost the rest of the space (in fact, I parted one of them and cloned the partition table). At the end of the disks there are some MB of unused space.
I created a RAID1 via mdadm on these harddisks, using both 100-MB-partitions for the first RAID-device and the two big ones for the second. Then I installed /boot on the 100-MB-device and the rest of the system into a crypted luks-container on the second RAID-device.
Everything worked fine, everything booted up as it should, but recently something strage happened: One of the partitions that formed the RAID containing the crypted container dropped out of the RAID while the /boot-RAID is still in perfect action (at least according to /proc/mdstat). I did some bootups meanwhile, that doesn't change anything, the bigger RAID-device remains with one disk (every time the same harddisk that drops out), the /boot-RAID still has both partitions. I tried to reassemble, but that doesn't work either.
I'm quite confused at the moment. I assume that it can't be a problem of the data on the RAID, because the RAID is the ground-structure of my configuration, everything was installed onto the RAID-device, so I think in that case both partitions should have dropped out. The other possibility is a hardware problem, but because the /boot-array is still working fine I'm sure (at least I think I can be) that the harddisk is working. I can write in /boot without triggering problems, I even had a update of the kernel meanwhile, which is written into boot. I also did a smartctl-test on the affected harddisk, the results seem to be fine, but I have to admit I'm not that experienced in this matter, I never had a defect harddisk yet, so I will place the results down below.
I would be glad if someone can help me figure out why just one of the two partitions dropped out of my RAID and what's the best to do.
Both RAID-devices were definitely working before (according to /proc/mdstat) and I haven't changed anything in their configuration, the only thing is activating smart-support because I noticed that it was disabled for some reason, but as far as I remember this wasn't coincidential with the described problem and besides that should have affected both RAID-devices.
Thanks in advance!

If you rebuild the bad array on the same drive, the bad sectors should automatically be ignored. As I understand it - please correct me if wrong - the sata drives 'swap' the bad sectors out after they failed checksums, replacing them with spare ones (drive feature for this purpose). No idea why the automatic swaping out of the bad apples lead to the degraded state in your case. So, faulty sectors are ignored generally. Maybe there are too many of them - you should really consider the advice above. In your output:

Missing Instruments (horn section, trumpet section)

I've just installed Jam Pack 1. JP 2,3,4 are also installed. Now I've indexed my loop browser and all seems smooth. But there is a problem. I took 'Havana Horns' and 'Havana Trumpets' from my loop browser and put them on tow different AU-tracks. The channel strip settings load, but I hear a bleep instead of horns/trumpets. Now the plugin says 'trumpet section' or 'horn section' missing. I even don't find them in my Garageband menu in the EXS. I've reinstalled it, repaired my disk permissions, re-indexed my loopbrowser etc., but still missing. Anyone an idea what's going wrong? How to find them, or how to reinstall them?

Hi,
The reason I ask the above question, is that, in general, it would be
ideal if I could take solo trumpet samples, such as in this example,
and also use them to construct two trumpets playing in unison,
or three trumpets playing in unison. And, make it sound as close
to "professional" as possible.
In this way, similar techniques can be used for the French Horns and
the trombones.
The upshot being that I would not need to use settings which say,
"Trumpets" or "Horns" or "Trombones", because at this stage,
given my limited resources, I do not necessarily know how many
trumpets are actually playing a given line (for instance, I have
SAM free trumpets and I have Pro Sessions Brass, and they do not
specify how many instruments are playing a given note, and sometimes
it appears that the number of instruments playing gets quite large
when the dynamic for the SAM free trumpets is increased).
And, I do want to know exactly how many brass instruments are playing
and control this, so that when I form chords using a mixture of
brass instruments, with some brass instruments doubling the same
note, that the effect mimics reality as far as chord balance goes. In this,
tool, Logic Pro, and a sufficient set of solo brass samples, could
be used as a neat learning tool (such as making sure that in forte,
two French Horns double a note when the other notes are taken singly
by Trombones and Trumpets, and the like). Although, there are other
concerns with forming brass chords, so Logic Pro potentially becomes
a neat test bed for more unusual set-ups and configurations of complex
brass chords.
Also, of course, I'd like a solo brass instrument to sound more realistic
and "not in your face".
Thanks,
Sys6

Broadband drops out & noisy phone lines.

Hi,
Not sure whether this needs to be posted here or in the phone section as both areas are effected.
My property is pretty old and the internal phone sockets/wiring is also quite dated. I've always had issues with my phone lines being very noisy to the point where i have simply done away with having a house phone (not ideal).
I use my internet for many hours every day - its an essential part of my life and income. I had a new internal socket fitted about 2 or 3 years back exclusively for my internet use to help improve the connection which had been fine until recently.
I had new windows fitted which required the socket to be moved & ever since then my connection has been unreliable and drops out.
Ive reported the fault on the line earlier today and am waiting to hear back off BT but thought i'd post here in the mean time.
I use a Belkin router and have spoken to them but they were unable to help. After running a few tests they said it was most likel a phone line fault. I have also tried a different router and experienced exactly the same issues.
How do i go about identifying the fault & getting it fixed? With it likely being an internal fault, is it likely to cost me money? What are the terms & conditions with this type of problem?
Also, how would i go about getting new sockets installed in my house so i could get a working house phone? How much is this likely to cost?
Thanks for any advice.

was the new socket you had fitted like this if so any extension sockets in your home should be connected to the back of the bottom half of the socket NTE5. It may be that moving the socket has moved some of the wires and they are loose.
BT are responsible for the wiring up to the first socket in your where the cable comes in from outside. if the problem is found to be your internal wiring after the master socket then you will be charged at least £130

Brief audio drop out

Quick question,
I was looping something in garageband tonight.
The loop was going on nonstop for about an hour, as I played along with it.
2 tracks. System was not overloaded or anything. (Macbook Pro i7 + ULN-2)
The problem:
No problem up until 1 hour of playing and then all of a sudden *"no sound"* for a brief second, and then, back on.
It's almost as if the system "hung" or Garageband for that matter.
This got me quite puzzled and angry, because IF I'd be recording the take, it would of been clearly botched.
I took a quick look in console a second after it happened and noticed errors, such as the ones I've posted below.

*Are these errors associated with something that could cause a pause in audio briefly?*
*Does anybody know why this would even happen?*
Thanks

Interesting,
I've had airport disabled from the start. But I was connected to the net while using GB '09.
I'm guessing its a Snow Leopard flaw, since the new system and new update is littered with bugs. I had no sound at all after updating to 10.6.7. These issues weren't present on Leopard.
Lots of errors in console aswell. No idea what the watchdog errors mean either for garageband, just that they coincided with the drop out.

VHS imports drop-out

I asked about this b4 but have found no resolution. Im importing VHS tapes into iMovie through a Pinicle DV box. The problem is, I cant walk away because every few minutes the tape stops being imported and I have to restart the process from the drop out point. I cleaned the VCR and it helped at first but now that doesnt even seem to solve anything. WHAT CAN I DO! I have a LOT of tapes to do and this is making it VERY tedious. Is it my box, computer, imovie, or vcr??? thanks for ANY help!

Sometimes it is just the poor quality of the original VHS tapes, especially if the tape was recorded at extremely long play. I think the code was EP rather than SP or LP.
I have recorded ALL my VHS tapes to miniDV so that I would not cause further degradation as I tried to import VHS footage. Probably around 100 hours of miniDV tapes. Most of the tapes were ok with occasional blips of dropped frames.
However, one of my son's baseball games was recorded by someone who made copies of his original tape and gave all the team members copies. It is about 14 years old, and had become absolutely terrible with multiple video drop-outs. I copied the entire game to minDV, and then imported that into iMovie.
I spent a lot of time editing out the bad video drop-outs. Most of them were ok to lose, but some had important audio in the midst of the blue screen. It was tedious editing, and my iMovie quickly bloated up to 100 GB of space. Yes, that is correct......100 GB. Fortunately, I was making the movie on an external drive and had enough space.
I did the final version by sharing the iMovie as Full-Quality QuickTime movie and making a new iMovie with the quicktime one--which ended up being only 8GB!!!
So, you will have to decide if it is worth it to edit those sections on a nearly frame-by-frame basis. Is it worth the time and effort and large size of the movie, or can creatively put some good video clips over the bad to preserve the good audio segments?

Logic Pro audio error 10011 (drop out)

I bought a new mac mini yesterday that meets all requirements for Logic. I bought it to run Logic as a dedicated machine linked to a keyboard. Apart from the basic software that came with it, Logic is the only software installed on it. Installed it after I did all the updates. Aiport & bluetooth is now turned off, and I don't have it hooked up to a network.
Brand new, 10.6 factory fresh system, 2gbs ram and 91 GB of pure virgin hard drive space. Doesn't get much cleaner than that.
And it wont run the demo songs without the audio error..... and these are their demos!!! I really doubt they would choose demo songs that are too complex to play, so why the errors?
I tried running through the demos and re-running them. This did help, but one demo is still bawking half way through.
This just does not make sense to me. Is there something I'm missing? I am new to Logic Pro, moving up from garageband. Not sure if this:
'System Overload.The audio engine was not
able to process all required data in time.
(-10011)'
is this what many here refer to as ' dropping out'?
Help!!!!
(ignore Model and machine listed below -different machine)

Hi,
Thanks for your replies. I did move demos to the Hard drive (found out that the hard way!)
The thing is the mini is to be used exclusively for music, and is hooked up to a pro88 midi keyboard. 90% of the time it will be used for Mainstage, with some editing in Logic.
It sure does a fine job with GarageBand - no issues there.
My main machine is a MacPro, and I have three other (older) iMacs. So I really didn't want to spend more than I have to. As the Mac will be only used for music and nothing else (not even internet etc.) I was hoping that it would be up to the task of running Logic, as it does meet the needed specs.
My worry is that moving up to a iMac (which would almost double my investment to $1300) might not necessarily do much. I am not willing to dedicate a big machine like a MacPro to the task -way too expensive for my budget.
So.... being new to Logic, is there a chance settings are the culprit. Is current practice to work on a few tracks, and freeze them, then continue to add new tracks? Or is it more common to leave everything un-frozen when working on stuff?
Options I am aware of are:
•Freeze tracks
•Buffer size set to 1028
anything else?
If the mini is not fully up to the task, would the low end iMac really be any better? or will it to be not up to the task either, in which case there is no point shelling out more. From what I have read, the even the biggest machines stumble from time to time.
Thanks again for your input, I do value it!

CS3 exporting drop outs and red screen flashes when exporting via Media Encoder

Hi forum
I have been using Premiere Pro CS3 for a long time on my dual core PC with no issues. Suddenly, I am now getting a major issue i MUST get sorted asap for a client is waiting for the final video.
It is a HDV (1080i, 25fps) project/timeline. An 8 minute video has been put together in this and every time I try to export as either MPEG2 (Blu Ray) or WMV, I am getting pixelation in certain places usually around certain cuts, or horrible red blocky pixels filling up the screen for a second or two. They seem to come always at the same point. They don't happen when i render the timeline or show up when playing the edit itself in the timeline - just when i playback the exported video in premiere or in Windows Media Player.
To try a workaround I exported the whole video as high quality MPEG2 (blu ray - 30mbps), which I brought into a new sequence, then I exported small sections where this problem was happening as Uncompressed Microsoft AVI and called them "patch 1", "patch 2" etc. and brought them back in and overlayed over where the problems were occuring. The short Uncompressed AVI patches seem to have exported with no glitches, so theoretically I thought I had a clean good timeline in my new sequence made up of the MPEG 2 video overlayed in the dodgy places with uncompressed AVI "patches". However, trying to export a new MPEG 2 master from this has created the same problems, in the same places!!! Still drop outs and still those horrid red flashes filling the screen. Not always as bad, and some places where there were problems are ok, but I am still left with most of the problems still there.
I am now trying to export the whole video as an AVI uncompessed but dont know if this will work and will take a very long time.
I do have Saphire plugins, but they are not being used in this new sequence so therefore could that be a possible problem? I thought perhaps it was the brightness/contrast filter etc so removed that from some of the problem areas, and it helped on some of them, but not on others, so not sure its anything to do with my plug in or filters.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks, James

This topic is about a year old, but I thought I would reply because I just experienced this problem very recently and stumbled upon an easy solution.
Problem: When using Adobe Media Encoder to create an HD or .m2v video file, a bright red screen will flash followed by a mashup of red blocks/pixels somewhere within the file you've just encoded. This phenomenon lasts for exactly 10 frames before clearing up. Most likely, you won't see this problem until you import the encoded file into Adobe Encore. It shows up on the timeline, the preview monitor and the DVD itself. It occurs on edits that the system reads as being corrupt or when a flash bulb goes off from a still camera. Both instances make the encoding process go haywire.
Solution: Encode your HD or .m2v file with CBR (1-pass) bitrate encoding rather than VBR (2-pass). Don't worry about losing any quality in your video or creating unnecessarily large file sizes with your new renders. I guarantee you won't see much of a difference, if any. I can't explain why this solution works. It just does.
Hope this helps you as much as it did me.

UPDATE: Audio dropping out in places after publishing MP4 in Captivate 7

UPDATED: Bumping this up thread, in the hopes someone will see it and reply. No one has any suggestions? I'm really struggling with this and getting super frustrated. Anyone from Adobe reading this? Thoughts? Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.
I've had this issue on other tutorials I've done, but today I'm at my wits end.
I have a short presentation (3 slides - about 2 1/2 minutes total). The slides were imported from PowerPoint. The audio was recorded directly in Captivate. I've made sure to leave a bit of silence at the beginning and end of each slide.
The audio in preview is perfect. When I publish as a SWF or HTML 5 files, the audios is perfect. Unfortunately for me, I need the output to be MP4. When I publish it as an MP4, on the second and third slides, the audio drops out in several places - the first slide is fine. it does not occur at the beginning or end of slide, it's sporadically within the audio.
For instance, it will be something like this "First look at the feed display (in the middle of the) page. It's divided into (three) sections. In the (federation feed section) you'll find the (activity), and updates across the interoffice (user base), in the My Feed section you will find a filtered set of (discussions based) on your interests."
The words in parentheses would drop from the audio. I've force republished 10-12 times today. Each time, the audio chooses to drop out different words - occasionally the same.
There seems no rhyme or reason to what's occurring. Help! I'm on a really tight deadline.
Can you recommend any fixes or settings that may help this? It feels like a crap shoot - I just keep trying different things and hoping that eventually I'll get something usable.
Thanks for any help or suggestions you can provide.
PS I've also copied the slides into a brand new project and had the same result when publishing.

Have either of you tried deleting the preference files and then running a disk repair?
Quit iDVD.
Locate a file named com.apple.iDVD.plist and get rid of it. iDVD will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permission repair using the Disk Utility.
The files can be found here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iDVD.plist

Creating a drop-out in a clip?

A coworker asked me a question that I can't answer, so here I am! He has a clip in his timeline which he'd like to effectively "grey out" for a portion in the middle. That is, he'd like to create a window in the center where the audio and video drops out temporarily without effecting it's overall length or placement. He seems to think he saw a way to just drop out a section in the middle, kind of like dragging one of the ends toward the center, but from the inside out. Anyone hear of this or know how to do it? It's not important as a practical concern, but I am curious to know if he's right.
I suggested he set keyframes for the audio level at the in and out points and just drop the sound there, since the clip superimposed above would cover up the video anyway. I also suggested that he copy the layer, cutting off the original at the out point and the new one at the in point, spearating the two to create the window.
What sayeth the Adobe User Forum?

Forgive me if I'm misunderstanding, but if you just want the video and audio to cut out without any fade then using hold keyframes as Dave suggested should work.
But, if you would like to fade them both out then you can use normal or eased keyframes with a bigger seperation between the two keyframes on either end of the drop out.

My wifi continually drops out - it is not a router problem as other laptops and smartphones in the house have no problem. How can i fix this???

Can anyone help with this....I purchased a macbook pro 13" in Sep 2011 and since purchase, have had continual problems with internet dropping out.

Thw wifi on the macbook will work at start up for a few minutes then drop out, I then turn ot back on and after a few more minutes it will drop out again - hugely frustrating.

since purchase, have had continual problems
Why didn't you call Apple tech support? You are still under warranty.
