    Hi
    Error -50 paramErr  Error in user parameter list
    Can there be any external hard disks - if so How is/are it/they formatted ? Must be Mac OS Extended (hfs) if used for Video.
    UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most but not for VIDEO.
    What this means in Your situation is above me.
    • free space on internal boot hard disk? How much ?
    Video codec
    • streamingDV, AIC etc. (not .avi, .mp4, .m4v, .wmv etc as they are containers not codecs)
    Pictures
    • in what format ? .jpg, .bmp, .tif, else ?
    Audio
    • from where/what format ? iTunes, .avi, .mp3, .aiff, else ?
    Trash the Preference file:
    The "com.apple.iMovie.plist" file
    Many users has not observed that there are TWO libraries.
    • Library - at root level
    • Library - in user/account folder - THIS IS THE ONE to look into

    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    You need more free space on your hard drive.

    After phone support from apple I ended up creating a new project and adding all 117 clips back in individually till I found out what clips flagged and would not allow me to export. I had 3 I deleted and replaced and everything works now 1hr after tedious work....
    Where do Your material come from
    • Camera
    • External hard disk
    • USB-memory
    And all are connected so that iMovie can find it ?

    Shorter clips than 1,5 sec might be one of the culptrits
    Bengt cont.
    Set-Up might differ
    • Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    • iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4
    Action taken
    • Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    • Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
    fps - set
    •I only use PAL (25fps)

  • Trying to export a video and the frame keeps getting cut

    Hello,
    I'm trying to export a video and the frame keeps getting cut. I've tried exporting it as a flattened movie through export - QT - "current settings" and through QT conversion, making to sure set the "size" as 720 x 480 ( my sequence presets are as follows: 720 x 480, DVCPRO50) but the default " current size" seems to be set at 640 x 480 and that's how it is exporting it. I must be missing something, I've never had this happen to me before... Any ideas? Maybe I should try trashing the preferences, usually what I do when I'm out of options...Thanks,

    I just tested a bunch of stuff and the only way it would export correctly was by choosing "none" in the compression dialog box from the export to qt menu. weird hunh?

  • In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

    Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

  • Whenever I play videos, I get a green screen. How do I fix this?

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation running on iOS 6.1.6. Whenever I try to play a video of any kind (via Youtube, Vine, videos I've taken, etc), only the audio works and I can only see a green screen (sometimes black). This problem happened to me before, but the videos worked normally after about a week. But now it's been like a month. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I tried to reset settings, turning it off/on, erasing all website data, but nothing is working....

    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    I have created a slideshow (with music) in iPhoto, and each time that I try to export the slideshow, iPhoto stops the process and gives me the error message "OS Status Error -9459".  What does this mean?

    Go into the System/Energy Saver preference pane and turn OFF all options.  Also turn off the screensaver. Then try again.

  • I've exported a video from iMovie but it's not showing in my pictures. Why is this happening?

    I recently made a video for my YouTube channel, but with this happening, I can't get videos out on time. I planned a video for today but it's been set back by a day. So, iCommunity, why is my video not showing in my pictures (where videos can go too) after a successful export? (It won't let me re-export it)

    You really need to ask in the Elements forum (this is Photoshop)
    Photoshop Elements
    But I wonder if it is a similar situation to Photoshop CS2 which needs a special download now because the activation server no longer functions

    What installer software package files? Could you tell me how to get there?
    Afraid I'm not a mind reader. You have to download the installer packages from whatever source provides those installer packages. For instance, you would download the DivX installer package file from DivX. The Perian codec installer package would found at the Perian web site. QT "Pro" codec components installers may be include with older Motion or FCP Suite software or from the Apple site, etc., etc., etc. At this point all I know for sure is that that you have part of the DivX package installed and should reinstall the entire package if you plan to use it for anything.
    Everyone's codec component configuration may be different depending on what codecs the need to use. Perhaps it would be easier if I provide an image showing the codec components installed on my Snow Leopard configured laptop:
    This is a very basic set-up since I do most of my video work on my iMac which has FCP installed on it. In this case you can see:
    a) AC3MovieImport.component (Apple)
    b) AppleIntermediaCodec.component (Apple)
    c) AppleMPEG2Codec.component (Apple)
    d) Elgato Turbo.component (Elgato)
    e) EyeTV MPEG Support.component (Elgato)
    f) Flip4Mac WMV Advanced.component (Telestream)
    g) Flip4Mac WMV Export.component (Telestream)
    h) Flip4Mac WMV Import.component (Telestream)
    i) Perian.component (Perian)
    j) x264Encoder.component (MacUpdate)
    The first three codecs were installed by my System Installer w/iMovie package (i.e., pre-installed on system when purchased or added afterwards by iMovie). The Elgato codec installers came with with my Turbo H.264 and EyeTV hardware devices. (I you don't have such devices, then you don't needcan't use these codecs.) The WMV codecs were purchased from Telestream. The Perian codec was a free download from the Perian web site and is used for DivX, XviD, 3ivX, DTS, AC3, MKV, FLV, and other audio/video/file type support. (I.e., I don't use the DivX package.) The X.264 codec is a leftover from my old Leopard system and not really used much anymore since I now prefer using HandBrake GUI for most X.264 custom encodes.
    At this point, would assume you need to rerun the Snow Leopard/iMovie Installer if you purchased the system with system pre-installed or purchased the it as a system upgrade. Another alternative would be to find another Snow Leopard OS platform and simply copy the missing Apple iMovie codecs from a working system to your non-working system. All other codecs are up to you. Only you know what third-party codecs were installed on your system. And if you don't remember, you will probably find out what you are missing every time you try to play a video containing an unsupported codec.
    Since you seem to be very inexperienced here, you may wish to consider joining a local user group or seeking some one-on-one assistance from someone in your local area.

  • When I try to import video frames to layers in Photoshop CS6 all I get is a solid green screen where the video preview, and the layers are supposed to be. How do I fix this?

    I am using a Mac OS, and even if I select a random chuck of video and convert it to layers the layers from that are still the solid green image; not the video.

    Are you trying to import a silent MP4? I had the same problem, when when I switched it to an MP4 with sound - I don't know why, but it worked.

  • Firefox not showing correct HP background image/video, but IE (all versions), Chrome and Safari are. How do I fix this ASAP?

    Website www.bludot.com is not showing the proper BG image/video on all browsers (Safari, Chrome and all IE versions) but not on Firefox. The code is right, but FF is still pulling old images. The correct image/HTML5 video should be a cake, as displayed on all other browsers.

    Firefox 9 is being withheld for Mac users due to unresolved crashing problems.
    A test case would be nice and the URL for the website in question, so someone here can experience that problem first hand.
    Or, try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

  • IMovie will not open after ram upgrade. How can I fix this?

    I updated the ram on my computer by myself from 2gb to 4gb. Everything seemed to work fine, yet when I go to open imovie, it will not open after endlessly bouncing on my dock. I have verified disk permissions. Repaired disk Permissions. Tried replacing iMovie with the iMovie backup from my time machine. Cleared the system cache. Tried reinstalling it using the ilife 11 disk. Tried installing the previous ilife 09 version. Reinstalled snow leopard and did a time machine back up. Placed the old ram back in the computer. All this things done with no success.
    DOES SOMEBODY HAVE ANY IDEA ON WHAT I COULD DO?
    regards
    Lloyd

    Hi
    My first two thoughts
    • Faulty RAM - There are programs that can test this as Tech-tools (buy or in Apple Care pac)
    • Wrongly inserted RAM - Can be tricky and sometime not obvious - everything's looks OK but in certain situations it just randomly don't work.
    Take out the new RAM and try Your Mac without it to see that it's still OK to start with and then very carefully re-install RAM and now be very careful to see that it snaps in exactly as it's intended to.

  • When i export a video from iMovie the sound goes distorted?

    Yes, I experience this same problem. The grey doesn't show up until after it is uploaded to Youtube...

  • After exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    after exporting a video from imovie, to quicktime, the audio has been duplicated. How can I fix this?

    iMovie works best with uncompressed audio. If your track is MP3 or AAC, you may get better results by converting your track to the AIFF format and then using that in iMovie.
    You can do this in iTunes. Go to iTunes/Preferences and click the General button. On the General page, click the Import Settings button. Choose IMPORT USING: AIFF ENCODER.
    (note: remember what you changed it from so you can change it back later, before you import another CD)
    Now, in iTunes, select your track. Then click FILE/CREATE NEW VERSION/AIFF VERSION.

  • Imovie crashes when i try to view the video full screen or export it. How do i fix this?

    iMovie crashes when i try to view the project full screen and export it. How do i fix this?

    Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your camera roll again.
