IMove HD Trailers Won't Play

Just got the new MacBook, tested out the remote and played some iMovie HD Trailers and they played with ease. I have gone back now to view more trailers with the remote and they are not loading. Anyone esle having this problem? Solutions? THanks

thanks for responding, to be a bit more clear-
i am referring to the new remote which accompanies the MacBook. heres what i do when i use the remote
menu>videos>movie trailers> and i select preferred trailer
the trailer appears to be loading but never plays its just staying in the loading state, i've tried leaving it for mins. and mins. to let it work itself out but the trailer still never plays.
trailers from apple.com running off of quicktime run fine.
hope that helps. thanks

  • Why won't iMovie voiceover clips won't play sound!

    I've been using iMovie '11 version 9.0.9, to make a school assignment. I started two days ago and it was allw orking perfectly fine, until today when some of the clips won't play. It started after I deleted a voiceover clip to replace it with a song from itunes. When I tried to add the song it showed that it was there but it played no sound. I managed to get that song working by dragging the song onto the whole project and then dragging and pinning it onto the parts I needed it.
    After I got that working I tried to add new voiceover clips to the project but then there was no sund coming from that clip either! After about an hour of searching and fiddling I had just about given up when I played my project in the background and ran it through untill the end and I heard the last clip I added, that wasn't working before but now is.
    At this point I recorded another clip to add thinking my problem was fixed, but alas that voicover clip played no sound. I thought I might try running through the entire project again to see if that would help like the last time. But no, that was not the case, in fact even more sound clips have stopped working.
    I read in a lot of other threads that it might be a corrupt clip and it will have a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it (or a spinnign circle?), but none of the clips have this! Is there something I need to do to see the triangle, if that is the problem? Or is it something completely different?
    Please help me I desperately need to get this working by tonight!

    Sorry, but there's a dedicated discussion forum for iMovie, where you might be luckier finding help.

  • Imovie 09 choppiness, won;t play transitions in full screen

    Hey all...so I did a couple of music videos in 08 and never had any issues with anything. With 09, I find that I'm getting choppiness, especially after adding in some slow Mo which seems to effect the clip before the one you have treated. Also, I added a transition between 2 clips and when in full screen mode it won't play it, so the whole program seems kind of buggy to me.
    anyone with any ideas? If i upgrade from 1 gig of RAM to 2 might this help the situation out, or is imovie 09 still working out the kinks? thanks

    ok I don't know what this is about, but when I play the SWF
    in the Flash Player (not in the HTML) and the full screen is set,
    it gives me this error:
    ReferenceError: Error #1056: Cannot create property
    testimonial_video on flash.display.Stage.
    I have scenes in this, once it plays one section of the show,
    it moves to the next scene that plays that section of the
    presentation. the testimonial_video is the first flvPlayback that
    is on the stage in the sequence. I even tried adding an empty
    flvPlayback on the first scene, and got no error... then it runs
    into an intro scene, then the Testimonial scene where I get this
    error.. any idea why I get that?

  • IMovie Audio Files Won't Play when the File is Moved

    I imported a lot of audio files into iMovie from my desktop and I set them out how I wanted them in my project. But as my desktop was getting too cluttered, I had to move the audio files into a different folder in my documents, but now the audio files won't play and a warning icon is on each audio clip. Is there a simple way to relocate the files, without moving the files back to my desktop and without having to set out my all my audio files all over again?

    Besides the two files you mentioned in your post, you also need to upload YOUR .swf as well. Then you need to upload your music file/folder.
    Also double check that the path to your mp3 is correct RELATIVE to the location of the Web page that you placed the .swf on, NOT the physical location of the .swf.
    var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("../Sound/dreamsSound1.mp3");
    This needs to be the path from the WEB PAGE to the mp3, NOT the path from the physical location of the .swf.
    Once you have the pathing correct, it should NOT work when testing in Flash CS4, because the path to the mp3 needs to be RELATIVE to the Web page.
    Best wishes and Good Luck!

  • Apple Trailers won't play after update to Snow Leopard

    I recently upgraded from Tiger to Snow Leopard and the only glitch I have encountered is that Apple Trailers will not play. The computer screen darkens and the movie viewer screen pops up, but the viewer screen remains black and no movie appears. I have tried reinstalling Snow Leopard and updating to 10.6.1, but still no trailers. Any idea what's going on and what I should do? Many thanks.

    Mine seems fine, but you might post a link to a specific trailer.
    It's possible it may be Flash related, some early disks broke Flash.

  • Movie Trailers won't play on my computer

    I get as far as choosing a size then nothing happens. I have the highest version of Quicktime that my computer will let me have. Any Suggestions?

    You need QuickTime 7 to play most, if not all, of the movie trailers now. Since QT 7 won't work on Mac OS X 10.2.x, you're stuck until such time as you can upgrade to Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4, I'm afraid. You're going to find more and more software that won't run under Mac OS X 10.2, so upgrading's going to become more and more necessary.

  • HT1349 my iMovie recording system won't play the recording

    im trying to play my recordings from imovie and its not playing! i have a project due in a couple days and i need help. i dont understand all the technological words so please describe it to me in a 13 year old language.

    I just discovered this problem with both IE8 and Firefox. Adobe is aware of the issue:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/872999?tstart=0
    I followed the instructions in the above link and at least got videos working again in IE8, it says this also works for IE9 but I didn't try that out.
    To make youtube videos work in firefox I put an s in http: to make the URL read https: and that allows the videos to play.
    The other working fix I found is to clear the offline storage cache by going to Tools > Options > Advanced >Network > Clear Now button. After clearing the cache and restarting firefox youtube now works.

  • IMovie DVD's won't play

    I was trying to play some movies I made with iMovie 6 (I think - it's been awhile) today and the drive spins the disc and after about 15 seconds spits the DVD out without recognizing it. I opened Disk Utility during and before putting the DVD in and it doesn't recognize it. I had the same behavior with several of the same DVD's. They play in my DVD player fine and are in perfect condition (no scratches - they have all barely been used). I put in a commercial movie DVD and it loaded with no problem. Any ideas why I'm having this problem? Thanks.

    Hi,
    It looks like this is a common problem. I am wondering if it is a bug or a stab at copy protection. Hidden copy protection. I can not read any data DVDs or burned DVDs. My drive read a DVD-RW but not a DVD-R. Like you said Commercial DVDs fine. CDs of all types fine.
    I haven't tried making a DVD with iDVD yet and playing that.
    Interesting problem

  • Imovie to idvd won't play on dvd player

    I made a great slideshow in imovie. shared to idvd, burned on Verbatim DVD-R. 2 different dvd players can't load it - nothing happens when I put it in, press menu or play and it says no menu available.
    I also tried exporting it from imovie and dragging the file into idvd with the same result.
    This is a wedding slideshow and I need to be sure that it will actually play on whatever brand of dvd player happens to be there, also for the couple to have after.
    any suggestions?

    Hi
    Most probably iDVD pref file - trash it - or even better start a new User-account
    log into this and have a re-try.
    Else
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
    iDVD pref file resides. Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named.
    com.apple.iDVD.plist
    While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iDVD.
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
    • Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
    iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
    Last resort. from Craig. Solved the problem!! Finally!!
    I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
    emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
    and I am up and running.
    If You do a re-install be sure to get rid of all iDVD old parts AND then EMPTY the Trash-basket !
    iDVD updated ?
    Apple Codec updated ?
    Start a New Clean project - or delete project assets

  • Apple trailers won't play AT ALL

    Number one, yes, I browsed and didn't find if someone had already asked this. So, just in case I skipped over it for "x" or "y" reason and this turns out to be a repeated question/complaint... my bad.
    Number two, here's the thing : I've never had problems with QT in all my years of using it (since, like 2001). Never, at all. A few weeks ago I noticed that the trailers over at Apple weren't playing, and realized they were made for QT7.
    So, alright, cool, no problem. I d/led the sucker, installed it, and tried it again.
    IIRC, the first trailer I tried worked perfectly.
    From then on, Apple trailers just plain don't load. I get either the trailer-area with a white screen, the trailer-area with the blue QT logo and white screen, or the trailer-area with a QT logo with a "?" imposed over it and a white screen.
    And at the bottom of my browser it always says "Done", and I've kept it open for an hour just in case the loading start is lagged or something. No go!
    Yahoo QT trailers load fine (well, the "Pirates 2" one did) and QT files I d/l to my hard drive play like a wonder.
    So, what could be the problem here?

  • Download iTunes trailers won't play

    Hi guys,
    anyone else having trouble viewing downloaded iTunes Theatrical Trailers? They get the QuickTime icon on them and not the thumbnail, and when it comes to playback, they just show a black image.
    Thanks

    Same problem. So far I've had playback problems with one of the Captain Phillips trailer (the one posted in August) and all of The Mortal Instruments. Happening on multiple computers. I think Apple will have to fix this one on their end. Wouldn't hurt to post which trailers were having this problem in case anyone who can fix it reads this thread.

  • ITunes Trailers Won't Recognize Quicktime

    Using Chrome on my 2008 MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, OS X Lion 10.7.5 [11G63]).
    Quicktime and QT Plugin are both updated but iTunes Movie Trailers won't play the trailers.  Instead I get the following image in the player window:
    Secondarily, I've run the recommended "Pro Video Formats" update twice and the Mac keeps suggesting it as a necessary update, even after the update has been installed. (not sure if this problem is relevant to the primary QT problem.)  I have also restarted the Mac after both updates.
    Any suggestions?

    Using Chrome on my 2008 MacBook Pro (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, OS X Lion 10.7.5 [11G63]).
    If using latest version of Chrome which eliminates access of the QT Plugin, then switch to Safari or download the trailers or trailer URL for direct playback in the QT X or QT 7 player.

  • 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.
