Imovie '11 unable to cope with dipping soundtrack in and out

Hi there,
I am currently working on a project which is 16 minutes long, on an i5 with 8GB of memory but the last thing to do is to make the music tracks dip in and out, however it seems to be badly running out of memory or at least the ability to do anything with the sound without it having to think for a minute and then messing the whole lot up. I have no other projects / programmes open and it's driving me bonkers. Shouldn't my mac be able to cope with this? Any ideas of what I might be able to do?
Many thanks,
Rebecca

Hello,  We are having a similar problem running iMovie '09.  We get the exact same error as you reported. 
"Unable to prepare project for publishing" The project could not be prepared for publishing because an error occurred (-50)
We have a very similar situation were we have multiple repeated clips.  However, our clips are 2.4 's.  Like you, we took the finished project and started eliminating edits that we thought might be preventing it from exporting. The following actions still would not allow the project to export:
removing title pages
removing transitions
removing imported music from iTunes
removed another clip from another event
closed all other programs
closed iMovie, powered off computer, opened iMovie, tried to export
reconfirmed the last project exported would still export - it did without issueThe only difference between the project that will export and the one that does not are these short (2.4's) repeating clips
When we create the new project from the recorded event without making any edits (just as recorded), it exports without issue.  We have started the arduous task of adding back in each edit and testing it for export until we determine which edit is causing it to "not export".  This is a very inefficient way of troubleshooting.
This is a science project for my son and we need to be able to save it as a QT or mpeg4 movie so that he can submit it to his teacher for viewing and a grade!
Any ideas from any other users would be greatly appreciated.

  • Does anyone know how to access the sound software on a Mid 2010 Mac Pro? I have a Logitech Z906 5.1 surround system with fiber optic in and out, I only seem to be able to get stereo and simulated 5.1 sound .

    A mid 2010 Mac Pro, trying to get 5.1 surround out of the onboard sound software using fiber optic out connected to a Logitech Z906 5.1 speaker sys. with fiber optic in and out, all I get is stereo and simulated 5.1 sound out of the speakers. In utilities, Audio Midi Setup I can't get the Mac to see the Logitech speakers for 5.1 speaker configuration. Without being made to feel like a dummy, does anyone have a solution? Thanks, Carl

    Hello John, I figured it was a signal issue. All the speakers fire and the sound is great. I was running the speakers thru a Dell PC with a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, THX Certified, 7.1 soundcard using a fiber optic from the Mac Pro to the Z906's, it worked great until the Dell died!!! When I bought the soundcard from Creative I also bought the GigaWorks S750, THX Certified, 700 watt, 7.1 speaker system, used the speakers for 11 years and then the woofer/amp said "I QUIT" Creative quit making the speaker system and the sound card. The satellite speakers from the Creative GigaWorks speaker system still sound great (rated at 78 watt each) and are a little better speaker than the one's that came with the Z906 and the wattage from the 906 is sufficient to drive the satellites without any distortion. Thank you for addressing my issue, you confirmed what I suspected all along, just needed to hear it from someone with the same setup.
    One last question, I purchased a Diamond Multimedia USB Soundcard, can't use the fiber optic(not supported by Mac) but the green, tan and black RCA's plug in and produces adequetly. When you plug your 906's into the Mac Pro using the fiber optic how do you set your speaker configuration? When I plug into the mac pro with fiber optic the 'Audio Midi Setup' does not seem to see the 5.1 configuration. Any thoughts there?

    Thanks for your reply....FYI...I was trying to download from www.adobe.com on
    the specific page that has downloads of your products.    As far as the
    alternate source is concerned I am not totally sure what the capabilities it has as
    I am recovering from a hospital stay and had to send my wife to retailer to
    pick this up because I am accessing email from home until I return to work and
    need something to work now.  I don't yet have the SW.  (I would have had her
    buy the actual Adobe Pro 9.0 -- but it is a wapping $499 and change).

    You won't see the frame edges if you are in Preview mode, so you should use Normal mode if you want to see them. You can turn off the Document Grid in the View menu (View>Guides & Grids>Hide Document Grid).

  • Unable to connect with Kuler Air app and Extension

    Hi,
    I am unable to connect Adobe Kuler Desktop(Air app). I can't login through the app. Only thing I can see when I launch the app is the RGB rotating, even after an hour.
    I tried reinstalling the app two three time. No way. same issue persits.
    I tried to connect through a proxy server enable and through a direct connection. same issue.
    Not only the Kuler Desktop, but the plugin also has the same problem.
    Please help.

    Hello, I was getting the same RGB loading... issue, however I was able to Sign In at the bottom with my Adobe ID, and then themes started loading when I selected from the dropdown (e.g., Most Popular). It's a little slow, but seems to be working.

  • Issues with Global Address Book and Out of Office saying Exchange is Offline.

    So we have an Exchange 2010 server that has been running fine for quite a few years. We recently changed our firewall to an ASA 5510 and created all the firewall rules necessary to have email work through it. Everything works fine so naturally we thought
    everything was good to go.
    Then I started getting messages that the Out of Office wasn't working an that when users where trying to set their away message they would get a message from outlook that the exchange server was unavailable, yet when I
    check the outlook client it would say Connected to Microsoft Exchange at the bottom. I thought this was crazy so I started looking further into it and it turns out that the name for the server owa.xxxxxx.net points to a public address, which of course lives
    on the outside interface to the ASA. In ASA world it doesn't like private space (ie. 192.168.x.x) talking to the outside interface and drops the packets, where our old firewall did not. So as a short term fix I had the users using OWA site with a internal
    address to set their out of office message. This worked fine until today when I rebooted the email server and started getting support calls saying that when users where selecting the To: button in a new email that once again they were getting messages saying
    that they were not connected to exchange, yet they once again outlook said they were. I then started playing with the host name owa.xxxxxx.net again. This time I changed the hosts file on a box and pointed the internal IP of the exchange server to that
    host name. Restarted the outlook client and things started to work as they should. I have played with split DNS to see if this would help so I wouldn't have to do this with every client in the network, and it was promising until I realized that we many hosts
    that use this domain and an external DNS server that takes care of these requests that now the internal users will never reach. Funny part is that if we take one of our laptops out side the network everything works fine as well.
    So I'm guessing that some of the processes that connect Outlook to Exchange use the FQDN of the server or IP address, and that other things such as the Global Address Book and Out of Office use the External Host Name.
    Any help to point these request at the Internal FQDN/IP would be great, or if someone can think of another way of dealing with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Titan,
    correct me if i have missed something but are users able to look up contacts in GAL?
    If you update (ex mobile number for a user) then run the following commands(one for each line):
       Get-GlobalAddressList | update-GlobalAddressList
       Get-AddressList | update-AddressList
    Get-OfflineAddressBook | Update-OfflineAddressBook
    Restart Your Outlook  in 5 min,then do a manual OAB download.Is info on that user updated?
    Does GAL from frm OWA?
    if im not wrong,Status and Out of Office use EWS for status update.
    Please run the following command:
    Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory -Identity “mailserver01\EWS (Default Web Site)” |fl *internalUrl*
    where mailserver01 is the server that is having the issue.
    Then please check if internal URL is correct for that server (and those that are having issues.
    Please mark as helpful if you find my contribution useful or as an answer if it does answer your question. That will encourage me - and others - to take time out to help you. Thank you! Off2work

  • Problem with microphone fading in and out

    Spoiler (Highlight to read)
    I have been having problems with my Skype audio (I can hear callers but they can't hear me). I purchased a new Logitech H390 USB headset today and have checked that it is all working, I've been through all the checks that Skype suggest and I'm still having the same problem. Echo test is fine, trying the microphone on other recording devices is fine but when I'm actually on a call, the microphone seems to fade in and out. Hope someone can help me - I'm a virtual receptionist and need this problem sorted ASAP.
    Thanks in advance

  • Trouble with audio dropping in and out?

    I had this problem for ages.
    Apple TV3 was connected to monitor via HDMI. Monitor audio out was connected to hifi system. The audio was dropping in and out. Fix was to go in the monitor settings and set the HDMI audio to 2.0
    Hope this helps someone, as I couldn't find this info anywhere on the net.

    an update, switched the G4 laptop out with a G5 tower, keeping the rest of the setup the same, and the music played fine. Switched back to my laptop and the music played choppy. Noticed the CPU was bouncing around quite a bit on the laptop while playing music and that is when the music would cut out. So must be my laptop? Weird as the laptop worked fine for years and that is when it only had 512MB RAM. I did just update the laptop to 10.5 from 10.4 so perhaps 10.5 is the problem?
    However I am running Twonhy Media Server on the laptop to stream video from the same server the music is on. I stream it to a PS3 and it streams perfect.
    I would seem that iTunes does not efficiently stream music via mounted servers?

  • App world error code 31200 and unable to connect with Appworld serverI.I

    I am unable to connect with BlackBerry Apps World and when I try to purchase an App, I keep getting error code 31200! I've tried to wipe my tablet and I created my BlackBerry I'd on my computer! Now I can't get on with my Bold 9700 either! Unable to access payment information even on my computer and I'm beginning to think getting another BlackBerry wasn't such a great idea. I'm open to suggestions, thanks............
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Well,I don,t  have to return this Playbook after all! I'm so glad I called Tech support at 8776448410 and I got ahold of Spencer in Costa Rica and this guy knows what he is doing! So here is the solution..............
    First, wipe your device after backing up your data to BlackBerry Desktop Software if you can. This does work, but you will lose your data you haven't backed up to another location.
    Next, get connected to a Wifi source so when your BlackBerry tablet reboots and comes back up in its original startup mode, you can download necessary updates. Once this is done and you have gone through the tutorials to get you familiar with your Playbook, you will need to open BlackBerry Appworld and in thebsearch box at the top right, enter "BlackBerry I'D" if you haven't seen a screen prompting you to do so before this. 
    Click the "Create BlackBerry ID" icon and start with a new email address.  I recommend. Hotmail since are easiest to link to your Tablet . Fill in with a verifiable email address and secure password. Write it down if you have to. Younwill be taken to another page where younput in your payment information so you can buy Apps. You can use a credit card or PayPal. Fill in your info and when done, click "done' or 'save" and you will be taken back to the BlackBerry I'D Login page. Read-enter your info again exactly as the first time and you will have successfully created a BlackBerry ID! 
    The one thing that threw me is your login username. If you put in your old email address and you tried using that before, the BlackBerry Appworld system sill boot you back out to your login page with an explanation of errors or an error code! I did inform BlackBerry they need to have a knowledge base of codes to assist their customers with! Also, I recommended that BlackBerry create a click to chat live service to help direct traffic. Now that my BlackBerry Playbook is up and running, I'm glad I didn't return it!

  • Want to display no. of ser. orders closed with in 1 day and outside 1 day

    Hi Experts,
    Im displaying a summary report for Closed call.
    I want to display the Number of Service Orders Closed With in 1 day and Out side 1 day.
    For example:
    Brand......ASP...................With in 1day...............................Outside 1 day
    ABC1........ALPHA Tec...........24................................................5
    BCD2..........BETA Tec.............76................................................7
    The difference of days I have brought using 2 variables (1. is for closed date and 2. is for service order created date)
    In the Formula Variable I have (Subscrated Closed date - Created Date)
    I'm not very sure how to bring the count of the service order that are closed with in 1 day and outside 1day.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    This could be achieved through Data model level as well:
    1. By assuming you have two date char Created date and closing date.
    2. Create a char (On-time) flag and populate flag by ABAP coding if Closing - Created = 1 then field should be Check ("X").
    3. Restrict your report with this Flag to find out number of Service orders on-time.
    4. Define a counter KYF in your data model and maintain fixed value = 1 in your cube / ODS.
    This is one approach let me know if any further information is required.
    Regards,
    Venkat

  • I have iMovie 2011 and I imported PowerPoint slides with a soundtrack. Now I want to get rid of a small clip but it's not letting me do that.

    I have iMovie 2011 and I imported PowerPoint slides with a soundtrack. Now I want to delete a small highlighted clip and it won't let me no matter what I do! Rosemary

    First off....do NOT install MacKeeper!  It creates more problems than it prevents, and is a royal pain to get rid of once you realize this.
    What I would do, since it sounds like you don't want to reorganize your email filing by the use of Smart Mailboxes, is to simply use the search box at the top of the Mail window to find only the emails you want to delete....then select them all and delete them.  For example, if you wanted to delete all of the emails from [email protected], you would type that into your search box, which will filter your inbox to only show you emails from [email protected]  Then Select All, and delete them.  You haven't deleted any others....only those from that person.
    Then clear the search box to see the rest of your emails again. 
    Repeat this process to delete emails from other senders you no longer need.
    (Once you've selected them all, by the way, you can control-click one if you need to save it).

    The Early 2011 MacBook Pro shipped with Snow Leopard, so these are not the Mac App Store versions of iLife, they are the boxed software versions.
    If they are in an iWork '09 folder take them out and let them loose in the Apps folder. Then reindex your HDD.

  • IMovie can't cope with files off new Canon 5d Mark 11

    Regular forum readers would be aware of the problems that I have been having with iMovie 08 crashing when editing the .MOV files from my Canon 5D mark 11.
    I went into my Mac reseller yesterday and ran a series of test movies on 2 of their new Macs. Same problems on both of them - iMovie imports the files and plays them OK but crashes once the cursor is run along the clip - it seems to lag and have trouble keeping up with the movement of the mouse - then crashes. Also tried it in Final Cut Express and it too can't cope with displaying the footage when the timeline is dragged along the clip - it crashes.
    It appears that the 40 mbit/s MPEG4 and H.264 codec used in the 1920x1080 full HD files created by the Canon 5D mark 11 is just too much for these applications. Not sure where to go to from here!

    I took movie via Canon 5D Mark2. I edited the film via Imovie. However, I encountered problem when I posted it in Facebook. I therefore re-edited the film using 4:3. The problem was solved. In short,
    either internet browser or imovie cannot support full HD film taken by Canon 5D Mark 2 at this moment
