IMovie 11 footage freezing when picture-in-picture applied

I have an iMovie project. and have a clip in the project. I take a picture, saved to my "Downloads" folder, drag it into the iMovie project browser, on to the clip in the project, and click on the "Picture-in-Picture" setting. It applies the effect, but when I go back a few seconds and let the clip play, when it gets to the part where the effect starts, the footage freezes. The sound continues, but the clip stops moving, and there is no effect. The clip resumes playing after the effect should have ended. When I scroll over the clip with the effect, it plays in the window, and when I put the cursor over part of the "effected" clip, it plays in the browser when I hit the space bar. But it will not play if you start it playing before the "effected" clip, in the project window or with the project finalized/exported out of iMovie. Any thoughts? This is really starting to annoy me. It only happens with SOME pictures-over-clips too, by the way.

See this post for instructions for how to get a still frame. Once you have it, it is easy to use it as a PIP.

  • Ipod freezes when pictures are loaded

    how do I get the ipod to unfreeze and after loading pictures I can look at them one time but the second time they appear as little boxes with a dot in the middle and then the ipod freezes

  • IMovie on iPad2 freezes when exporting

    I recently went on a trip and made a movie with iMovie, but when I try and save it to the camera roll, it stalls or freeezes when exporting. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Here is a bit more info for anybody reading this who knows stuff ...
    My content is :
    1. Videos from my iPhone 3GS and iPad 3
    2. Pictures from my Nikon 6 megapixel camera that have been convert to jpg so that the iMovie app will work with them.
    3. Voice over content.
    Basically I want to incorporate about 1200 pics and about 3 hrs of video shots into my movie and edit down from there.
    Should be doable, right?

    Irregardless of the Premiere Elements version...
    I do not believe you are doing anything wrong. I have not found it possible to copy a Timeline clip to which Time Remapping has been applied and use Paste Effects and Adjustments to other selected clips on the Timeline to achieve the same fast or slow motion for more than one clip at a time. For one thing the duration of the Time Remapped clip is different than those that have not gone through Time Remapping.
    And, you cannot select more than 1 clip at a time to be taken into the Time Remapping workspace.
    Also, special considerations need to exist for Pan and Zoom Tool for its pan and zoom effect applied to more than one photo at a time.

    I will think about this some more. But, at this moment, it appear to be it is what it is.

  • Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and in a clip the audio adjustment only shows a speaker? help

    Clip inspector in imovie not working properly - when I select a picture (in project library) - and select clip adjustment it tells me that I need to select one or more clips to view Inspector tools and when I select a movie clip and then click on audio adjustments the audio adjustment appears as a speaker icon and I don't know how to get to the various audio options? It was working fine one minute and then I seemed to lose the functionality. Also editing a photo in a photo or getting rid of ken burns effect etc does not seem to work. help

    Can anyone shed any light on this as I am having the same problem? One minute it works fine, the next you get the error message above.
    Many thanks.

  • FaceTime freezes when same room has no problems. The picture is high resolution. There are no freezes when calling my daughter's iPad but the picture is lower resolution. Can I troubleshoot this?

    FaceTime freezes when I call my son's iPad. Calling his iPhone in the same room has no problems. The picture is high resolution. There are no freezes when calling my daughter's iPad but the picture is lower resolution. Can I troubleshoot this?

    Thanks Mario, but I tried everything there before posting my question. I may not have been clear in my question since I accidently recorded the whole question as the title and tried to edit. In brief: I have no trouble connecting with my daughter's iPad or my son's iPhone. However, his iPad is sending much higher resolution pictures and we disconnect after about a minute.  Oddly, he can hear and see me while my screen first freezes, then goes black and gives me a message of "reconnecting" until it quits trying and shows the buttons to end or redial. The picture quality difference is what is leading me to believe it is bandwidth related. However, I get anywhere from 5 to 10 MB download speeds; usually closer to 10. Last summer, I had 4 granddaughters on their iPads, a grandson on his gaming device and me on cell phone or pc, all using the bandwidth at once with no complaints. If there is a way to lower his outgoing resolution, I think that would help.

  • System Preference freezes when I want to change desktop background picture

    My system preference freezes when I try to change my desktop background picture, any help, I tried disk utility repair, couldn't find the files to trash.

    Login to the problematic account ensure that System Preferences is closed down.  Move the following file to trash:
    <home>/Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache
    but don't delete it from the trash yet, just in case you need to restore it.  Re-open System Preferences, it will re-create the file.  If all's well then, then you can empty the trash.

  • Freeze when transferring camcorder footage to iMovie

    After many hours of working well, all of a sudden I have problems transferring video clips to iMovie. 1.16 seconds after clicking the import button, the transfer process freezes. I am also having problems with the iMovie application quitting spontaneously when the camcorder is connected. It is a dv to 6 pin firewire connection from a Canon Z100 camcorder to iMovie 6. I have tried changing camcorders (Z600) and firewire cables, all with same results. The project was going so well until now. Every time I have a successful transfer of a clip, I have to turn off the camcorder before saving or the iMovie application will quit without saving the clip. Help !

    Hi Shippey. Thanks for responding. I have 125 GB free hard disc space and am actually saving the movie to an external hard drive (which has not been a problem to this point) which has 199 GB free space. I should mention that some of the projects I am working on were started in iMovie 05; do not know if that matters. And I am having the same problem with new ones originating in iMovie 06. Things were great for several hours and now, all of a sudden, something is not happy in the process.

  • Iphoto freezes when I try to print a picture

    Why does iPhoto freeze when I try to print a photo?  I have to force the program closed.

    That was a test to determine if the original library was damaged and it was.  You did follow the next step but there's one more fix you can try on your damaged library:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • When I attempt to apply a lens profile in the Develop module the only choices are for the Fujifilm X100/S/T even though in the Library module the EXIF data correctly shows the camera as the X-T1 and the precise lens used to take the picture. How do I get

    When I attempt to apply a lens profile in the Develop module the only choices are for the Fujifilm X100/S/T even though in the Library module the EXIF data correctly shows the camera as the X-T1 and the precise lens used to take the picture. How do I get the right profile available?

    First, the required profile needs to be present. LR 5.4 supports the X-T1 in terms of understanding its Raw format, but will not come with a profile for every lens which can be mounted onto that.
    A profile is made for each specific lens, as mounted on a certain camera. It can also be used with pictures taken on a different (reasonably similar) camera body than the one originally used during profiling. This is subject to the sensor format: you can employ a given lens profile made for full frame, on an image from a crop sensor behind the same lens - but not vice versa.
    Next, the image type needs to correspond to the image type which has been built into the profile: Raw, or non-Raw.
    Lightroom offers only profiles of the right type for the image(s) concerned. There are many more provided for correcting camera Raw, than for correcting camera JPG. That is also the case with additional profiles, e.g. those accessed via the Adobe lens profile downloader utility.
    Finally, in the event that there simply is no profile out there for a given lens, it is not particularly difficult (though a little tedious) for the end user to generate one, using a further Adobe utility which is downloadable as a package, including a range of checkerboard calibration targets, each of which needs to be printed at a stated physical size.

  • After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered

    After Effects freezes when working with footage which is just being rendered... this is a bug which was introduced with CS6 and I wonder if this is really so hard to fix. When you are working with footage from a 3d application which is just being rendered (in my case on a small farm via deadline) it has become impossible to work with After Effects. AE freezes for several minutes and only eventually returns to work. I suspect After Effects is reloading newly rendered frames in the background although I have disabled that in the preferences. With CS5 i can work on the frames already rendered without any problems. I filed a bug report about a year ago.
    Greetings,
    Daniel

    If you don't have Service Pack 1 for Windows, you should get it.  No guarantees, but it may help.  For the moment, I'd just wait until the 3D renders are complete before importing... there isn't much else you can do at the moment, anyway.
    There's only one application I've seen that can reliably, "works-every-time", read media files as they're recorded: Avid Newscutter...but then, it was created to do precisely that.  AE wasn't.

  • Help, iMovie has quit working. It just freezes when opened.

    I put my many projects in a different folder because iMovie 11 was freezing and I couldn't accomplish anything.  I put 1 project in at a time and it worked great for 5-6 projects.  Then I wanted to combine 5 projects into one.  To do that I found if I put the 5 projects in iPhoto I could then find them in the event library window and drag them to the project area, edit the volume and export to iTunes as one movie.  However, now putting one project in the project folder results in nothing but a frozen iMovie I have to force quit.  Oh yea, you have to close iMovie and reopen it to get the new project to show up or at least that worked for awhile.  I trashed the preference for iLife and cleaned up premissions.  Any other ideas to get the thing to work and loose  the spinning ball....?

    Hi
    *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 iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
    • Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    iMovie pref file resides:
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.
