IMovie 11 Picture in Picture preview freezing

Hey there,
Anyone know how to fix the picture in picture issue where the transparent (pre keyed) footage is frozen in both preview and in the project timeline!? It's driving me crazy!!!!! In iMovie 9 I was able to preview the pre keyed footage but it seems iMovie 11 won't even allow that now!
I know this is an on going issue and i've searched the internet for about a week trying to find a fix.
Any tips or help is much appreciated!!!
Thanks - J

It has been happening to me, but it doesn't change the final video itself, if it is previewed in full screen mode, it will sometimes freeze, but to see the scene that freezes, just play it (in fullscreen mode) and click back a few seconds before it freezes and it should play normally.
You can also bring the mouse over the clip to preview it or:
Duplicate the whole project
2. Export it to Quicktime
Hope this helps

  • I created an iMovie using pictures from my camera roll, I exported the movie to the camera roll and then deleted all of the pictures. Now I can't get the movie to play. Did deleting the pictures cause my IMovie to disappear? How can I get my movie back?

  • Took photos with iphone 4s. Pic displays in picture preview, but not in camera roll. Any advice? Pic should be on phone somewhere.

    Took photo with iphone 4s. Picture displays in picture preview on bottom left, but is not in camera roll. Pic should be in phone somewhere since it's in preview. Any advice?

    Ok try this kennylebouef,
    Open multitasking by double tapping the home button (at the bottom), a row of apps you've recently used should appear, tap and hold the photos app until it wiggles and displays an x, tap the x to close and then reopen the camera roll app. Let me know if it works. It's odd and frustrating, I know.

  • Im trying to place an arrow into iMovie, but picture in picture doesn't appear, replace or insert comes up instead?

    Im trying to place an arrow into iMovie, but picture in picture doesn't appear, replace or insert comes up instead? Im trying to make a highlight video and I cant place an arrow into picture on picture, I used to be able to untill I updated my IOS.
    Any help would be great! thanks.

    Make sure that you have enabled (checked) Advanced Tools in the General tab under the iMovie menu item "iMovie>Preferences".
    Also, a Picture-in-Picture (PIP) can be inserted only into clips in a project - not clips in an Event.

  • When watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

    when watching rented movie the picture keeps freezing, in about 30 seconds it plays again

    I just started have this same/simmilar issue to.  Was there a solution to the original question?  I have 2 ATVs.  One works without issue, the other... kicks me out repeatedly... to the point where the content will load for about 3 sec before kicking me all the way out.  Tried all the trouble shooting options including: checking latest software update, reset, hard restart, and checking router download speed (over 50 Mbps on speedtest.net).  Should mention this occurs most frequently when downloading Netflix content, but the same issue occurs downloading other content like PBS.

  • RAW picture previews loading extremely slow since IOS 8 using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit

    Hi all
    First, sorry for my poor english, I hope you understand my problem.
    Device is iPad Air Wi-Fi with IOS 8.
    I just realized this issue yesterday. I wanted to import some of my RAW pictures from my Nikon camera's SD card, using the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit. In the Photos app / Import tab, the RAW picture previews show extremely slow. It takes a second to show each photo preview before import. A second for every single picture preview
    For example, if you have 500 pictures on your SD card, and you want to import pictures from this card but just some selected, then you need to wait for an overview preview a lot of minutes. On IOS 7 this process was maybe 10 seconds for all of the pictures...

    Same problem here. As a professional wedding photographer, sifting through my photos while on the go is the reason for me purchasing the iPad (Retina) 2 years ago, I now have an $800 paperweight after iOS8.x.x. Apple, if you actually read these, please inform your engineers to fix this in the next update or at least provide us with a solution to return to iOS7.x.x. Makes me wonder if there is any QA or testing that goes on before an update is released. As an FYI, here's my thread from a few weeks ago: Native Photos App, Slow... No, I mean really slow.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

    Not necessarily, what are you watching when this happens, is it with all content.

  • Preview freeze and not working fine on PDF view (building plans)

    Imac 27" 5k i7 32GB Osx 10.10.1
    When opening a PDF in preview (mostly building plans) some lines are not viewable. When enlarging the pdf and every time i'm scrolling preview freeze for a 30".
    (in quick view (mail) the hole PDF is perfect viewable but not scaleable)
    Also secured PDF could not be enlarged.
    This al worked perfect on Mavericks  on my other Imac 27" i7 16GB (mid 2011) 10.9  before upgrading to 10.10 (now it have de same problems as my brand new 5k)
    I hope apple coms whit an solution quickly.

    Firewall issues were preventing this problem.

  • Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble

    Preview freezes when trying to open images - other programs have no trouble with the same file. This problem is somewhat intermittent.
    I have replaced the Preview application by moving a copy from another equivalent machine - no luck.
    Did not find any preferences file trash, though I looked.
    Is there one?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Edwin,
    The .plist for Preview should be located @ ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist (where "~" is your Home folder).
    Trash the file, logout/login or reboot your computer and try opening the app and opening the offending file again.
    Let us know if any luck with finding the .plist there and opening your file?

  • Imovie HD skipping during playback/preview

    HELP! I'm editing a 32 GB movie in iMovie HD, During simple Playbacks / previews the movie is skipping and becomes impossible to view, (unless I scroll the timeline)
    I'm working w/ a brand new G4 ibook w/ 512 and 60GB HD totally dedicated to this project.(this problem has beome progressively worse as the file gets bigger) Is it HD space I'm lacking or Power or memory? I'm prepared to turn in my laptop for a desktop just to finish this movie, will the imac 1.9 G5 w/ 160 HD solve my problem?

    Hi Anna - welcome to the forum!
    1. The HD may be 60 GB, but how much AVAILABLE space do you have?
    2. For the size of your project, 512mb RAM is probably minimum - I think you should increase that to at least 750.
    3. The iBook is OK for iMovie projects generally (I sometimes use one also), but your project is extremely large - much larger than would be considered usual.
    4. I also use a large capacity external HD and that may be an option for you - maybe 200GB (formatted for Mac - (Mac OS Extended).
    4. Remember that if you intend making a DVD, that iDVD has a maximum size of 120 minutes, and yours is well over that.
    Obviously a more powerful computer is better, but I would try adding RAM to your iBook before spending mega-dollars. Even on my desktop computer, a project as long as yours would begin to display similar problems to the one you are experiencing.
    Does this help?
