IMovie 9.0.7 Title Browser Corrupted

I have reinstalled 9.0.7 using the Apple download; still having the same problem.
The Title Browser in *this* version is corrupted. I have a Mac Pro (2010) 16G RAM.
Title Browser "templates" are mostly greyed out. It is possible to create titles, however it's like the alpha channel is gone, so it takes over video and places a black screen with title visible, rather than keying the title *over* the video.
This applies to *all* Titles templates included with iMovie.
I'm at a loss, and believe this is a bug. Everything else works fine as it always has.
Here is a screen grab of what I'm seeing.

Good News, after a couple of days with Apple Support, I decided to open up Final Cut Pro X to make sure that the above problem wasn't also affecting being able to add titles to my projects in Final Cut Pro X.
As I opened up FCP X, FX Factory came up with a warning about a particular outdated plugin called: AlphaBlendMode.plugin.
Removed it to the trash, and everything is fine in *both* iMovie and Final Cut Pro X, Title Browsers are restored to normal. Did a number of test projects. Back to normal!
For your reference, for those of you who are using Lion, Mountain Lion, iMovie 9.0.7, and Final Cut Pro X 10.0.5, here is a thread from Creative Cow: http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/344/7518
There is also a more detailed thread from FX Factory/Noise Industries: http://forums.creativecow.net/readpost/8/1161026
The second thread has some insight into how this happened. I find it interesting that it affected iMovie as well.
My sincere thanks to Apple Support staff, FX Factory, and your patience.
Patrick.

Final Cur Pro X crashes when I try to use the title browser

I am on the new 5K iMac running FCPX on a 4K workflow. Everything works like a charm ... except the title browser! Every time I try to put on a title or graphic the whole system crashes on me. This is extremely annoying as I have to do all titles manually in Photoshop now...
FCPX is updated and my computer is a workhorse (32gb ram, i7, 4Ghz etc.)
- I have no 3rd party plugins installed.
Any answers to this?
Thanks

Give this a try . . .
Corrupt preferences can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be one of the first things you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.

Title browser frozen

I'm using iMovie 9.0.8. I've never had an issue with this before now. Out of nowhere the title browser function is completely frozen. Every time I click on it, I have to close iMovie. I've tried cleaning up computer, disk repair, and rebooting. Nothing has worked. Any advice?

IMovie '09 equivalent "zoom" Title

Hi there,
I'm wanting to make use of some very simple titles for a movie I'm making, and I'm partial to the iMovie '09 "zoom" title, yet I can't seem to find it in FCP. Do I have to create this title myself? Or is it available and I'm simply overlooking it?
Thank you so much,
YahYah

What version of FCP?
If you have FCS 2 or earlier, there's a bunch of pre-built zoom effects in LiveType.
From LT's Browser: Effects > Zooms.
Easy to make your own though, experiment with the Scale controls in FCP's Motion tab or use the Motion application that came with your copy of FCS.

IMovie quits when adding titles

iMovie (9.0.8) quits when adding titles (and sometimes just randomly although it seems to be related to adding titles).
I have repaired permissions and deleted com.apple.iMovieApp.plist from library to no avail.
It is not related to a corrupt project as it happens to all my current projects.
This is the first part of the crash report:

Hi
I doubt - BUG - I guess corrupted iMovie pref file (to get this You only need to Force/Panic Halt the program and errors are entered in it)
See if this helps
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)

I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

IMovie 6.0.3 (Title/Transitions/FX) Problems

I have been reading lots of similar problems, and I have tried to remedy based upon previous posts. However, nothing seems to have helped when using the latest iMovie. (prefs, privs, etc)
I often receive a black clip when I try to speed up or elongate clip. I do a lot of high school sports editing, and this feature comes in very handy. Unfortunately, this is only one of those that are not usable. Another problem, is that upon importing fullscreen graphics, it converts to movie, and shows up as black.
Is this one of those bugs that came in iMovie HD, and has there been a work around yet? I am a little disheartened at the problems I am now running into these days in iMovie.
Should I consider starting from scratch with this 5 hr import? I wanna make my honeymoon vid/DVD well edited.
At a loss! Thanks for your help!

Rejam,
Apple once offered something called Plugin Pack 2.2. It was a collection of additional plugins for iMovie.
Some of them are no longer compatible with iMovie HD. Some have been incorporated into the stock set that iMovie now comes with.
Here's the list of plugins from that old Plugin Pack that I think may have issues and/or have been incorporated into iMovie's stock collection.
EFFECTS
Circle Transition
Flash
Ghost Tails
Mirror
NSquare
Radial Transition
Wash Transitions
TITLES
Subtitles
Zoom Titles
If you do have any of these they'll likely be in located here:

Imovie and exporting to media browser

After reviewing many posts am I correct in these statements?
1. From iMovie11 you should not export to iDVD, but rather media browser, to burn a movie to DVD because the quality will be better.
2. When exporting to Media Browser it is pointless to go higher than "LARGE" becasue a standard DVD does not go higher that the "large" resolution.
Question: is it better to Export higher than large if you are watching on computer or connecting to TV to watch?

Out of Range Error
As I only got
• miniDV tape Cameras - interlaced SD-Video
• and a small still Camera with sort of movie function 30fps 720p I think
and as far as I know - iMovie HD6 is not so keen on Progressive material (Hopefully I'm totally wrong in this)
So I set it to do DV
One more reason is that
• DVD is as Standard = Interlaced SD-Video
• iDVD does the down scaling of HD-material badly
So I keep the line from Camera to DVD as intact as possibly (goes for the Sound too - Never .mp3 or other alient formats - I only use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or .aiff 16-bit 44.1kHz (from Audio-CDs) and from iTunes I go via Export out to a standard Audio-CD (.aiff) and use the files on this)
By doing so - I've very few problems in my DVD makings.

Error=-50 when I try to Share my iMovie '08 project to Media Browser

I just upgraded to iLife '08. I have a simple 4 minute video that I want to Share to Media Browser so I can burn a DVD in iDVD. When I preview play it in iMovie, it is fine. When I try to Share it to Media Browser (in medium or large size), I get an error message:
The movie file "clip-2008-11-21 18; 37; 22 1 cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly."
What am I doing wrong? Please, can someone help me??! Thanks.

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
clip-2008-11-21 18; 37; 22 1 is not conventional nomenclature for imported clips, it seems as though this clip may have been imported twice and one of the copies deleted after it has been used in the project. Have you looked in the events folder for such a clip.

IMovie 5.0.2 - titles across screen for entire length of movie?

Is there any way to have a title on screen for the entire length of a movie (vs. the 4.20 seconds or so IMovie allows)?

Posted in wrong forum - sorry.

Imovie HD 6 fuzzy titles

Hello
I have two imovie questions for imovie hd 6
1. My titles seem to be fuzzy after I add them into a clip is that how they will look after I transfer them or will they be sharper when I transfer to DVD?
2. I have a 3 minute movie so far, but it took imovie like 20min to save it, is that normal?
Thank you for your help.
Ivan

I have heard that with some transitions and effects the titles can become blurry, so if you have any try taking them off. As for the second part, I don't know about saving, but sharing does take a long time.

IMovie 9.0.4 title issues

I am making a 30 minute movie with titles, transitions, chapter markers and background music. The movie seemed to play just fine until I added background music. Now, when I play the movie everything seems to be working fine except my titiles; all I get is a blank (black) screen. No words. I have tried deleting and re-entering the title and words, but it will not play properly when I review the movie. The titles won't even play in the project browser window.
Teresia

I figured it out! I have a fade out transition before and after the title. If I remover the transition after the title it works properly. Not sure why the second transition has that effect on the title. Whatever works...

Browser corrupting MAC address access-list in 1232 AP

We're having a problem with an access point when we try to build Mac Address filter tables using the browser inteface. Here is what we have:
Product/Model Number: AIR-AP1232AG-A-K9
System Software Filename: c1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEA
System Software Version: 12.3(8)JEA
Bootloader Version: 12.3(2)JA4
Something is corrupting browser generated Mac address filter lists and causing us to have to manually remove the lists using the CLI even though the CLI was never used as the list was being entered initially.
When the browser works, the CLI shows the table as:
permit 0040.965d.db6b 0000.0000.0000 (3799 matches)
permit 0016.e3ec.3e06 0000.0000.0000
permit 00a0.f8ec.9dcd 0000.0000.0000 (7814 matches)
permit 001c.26c8.3f60 0000.0000.0000
permit 001a.731e.4f6e 0000.0000.0000
permit 0040.9652.50ff 0000.0000.0000 (5899 matches)
permit 0040.9649.08c0 0000.0000.0000 (2010 matches)
deny 0000.0000.0000 ffff.ffff.ffff
When the browser doesn't work, it shows up like this in the CLI:
permit 0016.e3ec.3e06 0000.0000.0000
permit 00a0.f8ec.9dcd 0000.0000.0000
permit 001c.26c8.3f60 0000.0000.0000
permit 001a.731e.4f6e 0000.0000.0000
permit 0040.9652.50ff 0000.0000.0000 (179 matches)
permit 0015.7032.7e37 0000.0000.0000
deny 0000.0000.0000 ffff.ffff.ffff (69 matches)
permit 0040.9649.08c0 0000.0000.0000
With the last permit entry that follows the deny being one that we tried to add.
Is there a way to use the CLI to edit the list so that it can be updated by the browser? Any ideas why the list is getting messed up like this in first place? Do we need to upgrade the AP's software?

Are you IE. If you have Google toolbar check if you have any Pop-up blocker or Anti-spy in the system blocking this . Try disabling them . If it doesnt work try using Mozilla Firefox.

After Mavericks, applications tend to become slow, painfully slow. Particularly iMovie; all other applications, Mail, Browser (Chrome) and others too are either running slow or 'not responding'. Help, please

After upgrading to Mavericks, from Mountai Lion, all applications are slowing down. iMovie particularly is painfully slow. When iM is running, any other application that is opened up also runs slow or does not respond altogether. It was fine before Mavericks, can somebody help, please.
Thank you.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
