IMovie '08 exports only part of the project

I use iMovie '08 (7.1.4) and I want to export a 28 min. project to .avi.
After the export, without producing an error message, it turns only the first 4 minutes or so have been exported. The quality of those 4 minutes is fine, but I have no clue why it does not export the rest:
- I can't find anything wrong with the project or the files in it; the last frame of the (failed) export is in the middle of a fragment.
- I have about 28 GB of free space on my HD so that shouldn't be a problem (I even tried exporting to my external HD with 600 Gb free space, same problem)
- I export via QuickTime and use the same settings I always have and which worked fine until now.
Anyone got any clue what the problem could be?

In my case, the culprit was backups and disk-related software eating large amounts of CPU.
I recently ran into this problem with a very small project. Even after locking all tracks, I could not record all the way through the project without getting "project not played".
One pattern I noticed was that I could never get through the whole project when Time Machine was backing up. So I turned off TM and tried again.
Even then, I couldn't get all the way through. Running Activity Monitor, I could see that WD's disk software (came with the My Book drive I use for backup), would periodically consume a big chunk of CPU, even though I wasn't using the WD disk... even if I dismounted the drive. So I uninstalled the WD software.
With this change, Activity Monitor shows ~0% CPU. TM can still give problems, so I shut it down when I record.
Now GB runs fine, even with multiple tracks unlocked.
Moral: use Activity Monitor to make sure something isn't chewing up too much CPU. It may be an intermittent load, which makes it harder to see. But a big burst in non-GB CPU activity can stop GB, even if the burst is brief.

Exporting only part of the Sequence

I do not have any in and out points on my sequence, but when I export, only part of the sequence exports. I have chosen numerous encoding presets, tried placing in and out points at the beginning and end, but it still does not work.

I've tried exporting through DV NTSC and DVCPRO720p60.
Say if I had a 10 minute sequence, then it'd only export 3/4th of it.

Thunderbolt connection to projector doesnt work: only part of the screen is projected. Solution??

When I hook up my air to a LCD screen only part of the image on the air is projected. Solution anyone?

Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.
If you've gone through ALL the troubleshooting steps and you're still having the problem, then you most likely have a hardware issue and will need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

Trouble exporting/sharing part of the video

I do:
create a new iMovie project,
select and copy part of a video clip from the Event Browser (e.g. 30 seconds -long piece out of 3 minutes -long video),
paste that piece into the created project,
Share --> Export Movie, or Share --> YouTube (or whatever).
The problem:
The whole original video is exported or published on YouTube instead of the small piece of it which I have selected and put into the project.
If I play the copied/pasted fragment inside the project, it has the duration which I need.
Also (that is likely an obvious consequence of the first problem), the audio/video edits I do on the selected video fragment in the project do not end up in the exported/published video.
It looks like iMovie simply takes the original video from the Event Browser and exports/publishes it, bypassing the project altogether.
Either I am doing something wrong, or this is a bug.
Please help.
Thanks.

update:
the problem with keeping various Adjustments and edits in the exported/shared video (e.g. clip trims, equalizer adjustments, etc.) may be an intermittent one.
I suspect, it is related to working with "iPhoto Videos".
if you have encountered the same problem as described above, please share your experience.

How to export only part of animation?

In the case of a big animation (tens of thousands of frames), is there a way to render (using Export Movie) only part of the animation, e.g. frames 100-500 and nothing more? That way, loss of time would be reduced.

Playing around with this a bit I found another method in addition to the one you described. I found I can mark part of the sequence with the work area bar and then use Export. The Export screen has an option to send the entire sequence or only the part under the work bar. Then I imported it into Encore and since it was exported with final disc settings Encore didn't have to encode it.
But I think I will send in a feature request. Hopefully a lot of other people will also ask for this.
Thanks

How do I export only part of a pdf?

how do I export only part of a pdf?

Hi eannablack,
The only way to export part of a PDF is to remove the pages that you want to export. And to do that, you need Acrobat. You are welcome to try Acrobat for free for 30 days. For more information, see www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html.

"Part of the project was not played" error

I just got a brand new iMac--double the number or processors and twice the RAM as the old one--and I keep getting this error in Garageband:
Part of the project was not played
This project has too many real instrument tracks to be played in real-time.
To optimize performance, see the 'Optimizing GarageBand performance' page in GarageBand Help.
This issue only rarely cropped up on my old machine, and it was usually because the computer was chugging away on too many projects at once. I am editing a podcast which has two (rather long) audio tracks.
I have quite all other applications.
I have fixed permissions.
I have tried from another user account.
I have deleted prefs files.
I have reinstalled Garageband.
Nothing is helping. This is very frustrating.
Any guidance you could give me would be EXTREMELY appreciated!
Thanks!
Evan

Display only part of the STRING field, but search ALL field

Hi all,
I have a field VARCHAR2(4000) that holds a lot of text.
When I make a report in APEX, it shows in each row, ALL text, so the report is very "ugly".
I want to limit the display of that column for only the first 60 characters.
I tried to use the SUBSTR function, that worked, but the search option will search for the text only in that 60 lenght characters, and will now search in the rest (not displayed) part of the field.
Is there a way to do this full search and display only part of the field?
Thanks

You can have the 'substring' column displayed to the user, but have another column which shows the full text lets say it has an ALIAS of "*SEARCH_LARGE_TEXT*" in the report definition(and is among the displayed columns).
You can hide the large text column(SEARCH_LARGE_TEXT) using JS as
$('th[id="SEARCH_LARGE_TEXT"],TD[headers^="SEARCH_LARGE_TEXT"]').hide()
Note: ^= syntax used to match data column even when break formatting used
You can make sure that the column stays hidden even after an IR filter or refresh by binding it to the refresh event of the IR by
$('#apexir_WORKSHEET_REGION').bind('apexafterrefresh', function(){
$('th[id="SEARCH_LARGE_TEXT"],TD[headers^="SEARCH_LARGE_TEXT"]').hide()
change the string "SEARCH_LARGE_TEXT" with your column's alias
Hope it helps

Syncing only part of the playlists

Hi,
Is it possible to sync only part of the playlists? It seems that if I remove some of the songs from my hard drives, iTunes removes the files from my iPod as well. For example, in my iPod I have a playlist called ABC that contains a song DEF and GHI. If my hard drive no longer has these songs and the playlist's removed in PLAYLISTS, playlist ABC and the songs in my iPod will be deleted after I do a sync. How do I keep the songs in my iPod when they're no longer in my hard drive?
Thanks,
Sun

If I select just one of the many playlists I want to update, it seems to update just that playlist and remove everything else.
iTunes won't remove anything from the iPod if you are Manually managing your music.
To remove songs from the iPod, YOU have to select the songs and delete them yourself.
Just like if you want any songs on the iPod, YOU have to select them and drag them to the iPod.
So it doesn't do incremental synchronizing?
If you are manually managing your music on the iPod, it doesn't do ANY syncing.

Export part of the project

Anybody found a way to only export a section of a project? IN FCP 7 I would just go in the timeline and press I and O to select the wanted area and that's it. It's a very useful feature if I need to export a clip to do some stuff in AE and then bring it back in FCP.
It was also useful because I could leave some clips in the time line that I could use later but they would not be exported because they were outside the in/out section of the project.
The only work around I found is to select a part of the clip I want (I may have to do a compound clip first), copy it, create a new project, past it and export. It's a long and unefficient workflow.
Ay idea?
Robert

Sorry, you can't. Other people have made threads about it too. Your work-around is the only one available.

Export only part of project,timeline

Is there option to export only few clips directly from project,timeline?.. When I go to share I can share only entire project.
Or I must duplicate project, and delete everything what I don't want to share?

Another method is to use the Range Tool (R key).
Select what you require and only the selected section will export.

IMovie '08 - Skipping to Parts of the Movie and Playing It

I am having trouble figuring out how to fast forward to a part, sto there and play it. I hate having to watch the movie from the beginning just to get to that one part. Please Help, please and thank you.

how?
Create a GarageBand iPod project. Drop your completed iMovie '08 project file to the GarageBand iPod/Movie track and confirm replacement. Double-click on movie track to open the chaptering window. Add chapter markers by moving the playhead to a point you want to chapter and "insert" the marker. When done, share/export the project to/for desired purpose.

Exporting only part of an iTunes library

My disk is full. I need to get my iTunes library off of it. Can I only export part of the library, say just the videos or music files, or do I have to export the whole thing?
Is it possible to export it to a network disk so that it will play over the wifi network?
Thanks,
Ira

For anyone who has this problem in the future - I have a solution!
I used iTunes to burn the playlist to two DVDs... then I imported the songs over on my MacBook.
It took about an hour to do all the burning/importing... but now I have all the songs that I want. =)

Applying a User Filter web part to the Project Summary Web Part

I've been searching for a way to do this but to no avail!
Is there a way to filter out the Project Summary Web Part to only display MyItems.aspx?
nothing seems to work. I have designer 2013, SharePoint 2013, etc.
Please advise,

Hi Boxboy,
Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to only display current user’s tasks in the Project Summary web part. Is it right?
Project summary web part displays events and tasks in SharePoint 2013. Per my knowledge, we cannot filter the tasks in the OOB Project summary web part.
More information about Project summary web part:
http://community.bamboosolutions.com/blogs/sharepoint-2013/archive/2013/07/11/how-to-use-the-project-summary-web-part-in-sharepoint-2013.aspx
As a workaround, you can filter the orginal tasks list using Current User Filter web part instead of filtering the Project summary web part.
Or, you can develop your own Project summary web part using code.
