IMovie creates weird frame flickering on export only -- please help!!

Hello iMovie experts.. Need your advise!!!!!
I've been using iMovie 11 for some time now... Had no issues... All of a sudden a few days ago,
after I already burnt a disk, i noticed blinking in the clip where I had a 'Dream' video effect...
I opened the exported mov file, and the blinking is there.... So I went to the project, no issues, - the clip that
has the effect plays good, no 'flickering'..
As soon as I export it -- on the clip where i apply a video effect, every second or so I see a black frame, or the blurred frame, or a frame as if the
effect wasn’t applied to that clip.......
I tried exporting via almost everything... Export Movie, Export to QuickTime (no compressions, mp4, h264, etc), ... same thing
is happening over and over... I tried removing the Preference file from User\Library\Preferences file, but it did not help..
I also tried duplicating a project. What happened was, the problem did not go away, but on top of that, it created about
10 minutes of black video towards the end of the movie...... ?!?!?!?!?!
I also removed Flip4Mac and Divx components... no luck...
Can anyone suggest anything please?? thanks!
Running latest Snow Leopard update...

You know, i optimized a video once, and it was very jerky when it played at about 40% speed (slow-motion), vs. when I import non-optimized..
I dont want to jump the gun yet, as the below doesnt really make sense, at least to me, BUT......
What I noticed is that the flickering of the clips with applied effects only happens when there an opening
transition in the very beginning of the project.. I placed a "fade-in" transition in the beginning so that the video fades in as it starts.... As soon as i removed it.. it exports fine, no flickering, no nothing, back to normal..
.... I also tried a few new small projects with and without the transition in the beginning and I would get the same pattern after export: with a trans in the beginning of the clip with video effect, -- it would blink after being exported.. As soon as beginning trans removed -- back to normal.. I know... i doesnt make sense...
I wonder if you can produce this:
[fade in trans] [normal clip] [clip with Dream effect] [some other trans] [clip with some other Effect]
and
[normal clip] [clip with Dream effect] [some other trans] [clip with some other Effect]
Thoughts?? I am scratching my head now!

I'm not sure what you mean by "iTunes is not enabled" -- if you read the above link, the question is whether you've previously synced with the iTunes application on a computer. If you have, you connect to iTunes on that computer. If not, you follow the "Use Recovery Mode" procedure near the bottom of http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212

When I try to create pdf from scanner, Acrobat shuts down, please help!!

Hi miketayber,
We would love to help, but need to know a bit more to get to the root of the problem. Please tell us:
What version of Acrobat are you using
What operating system you're on
Whether you've been able to scan previously
What you're scanning to (do you have the latest drivers?)
Is there an error message or number associated with the crash?
We look forward to hearing back from you.

Hi, I just started a new movie and the program is running very slow. Is there a way to clean up my iMovie program so that it goes faster? Please help.

Hi, I just started a new movie and the program is running very slow. Is there a way to clean up my iMovie program so that it goes faster? Please help.

There is nothing you can do with iMovie program itself. Slow response in usually due to a shortage of system resources (CPU, RAM and disk space).
How much free disk space do you have on your boot drive and what is the capacity of the drive?
You can check memory utilization while running iMovie using Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities). What does the Memory tab show for Swap used?
Are you running many other processor-intensive applications a the same time?
If you have a lot of events and projects, it will help a bit to hide the ones you are not using by moving them from your iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders into an enclosing folder so iMovie doesn't load them.

IMovie Export Problems - PLEASE HELP !!

I have assembled a 3 hour movie in iMovie. I have tried to export approx. 20 times with no success. I have duplicated and renamed the project - deleting the original, this still does not work. I attempted to use Screenflow to record the movie playing in full screen playback - the playback crashes approx 20 mins in. I have tried to play the project within iMovie and record the preview screen (on largest size available) and it crashes approx 30 mins in. I am in despair as I have worked on the content of the movie for approx 2 years.
Tech Info
I have upgraded to Mountain Lion during the creation of the movie.
I have updated iMovie when updates are available.
I have 12GB RAM on board.
Hard Drive (1TB) is has approx 280GB free.
iMac - Oct 2011 - 27"
Really appreciate it if someone could help. Obviously I will not bin the project but am definitely looking for an easier fix than recreating the entire movie as I do not know if this is possible, both technically and mentally with the time that was put in already.
Thanks in advance

If you have Time Machine running, turn it off whenever you are exporting a project (and remember to turn it back on after the export is complete).
Additionally, try splitting the project into two parts (or maybe three or more). Keep the duplicate you created earlier from the original so that you have at least one full copy of your project intact. Now create two (or more) duplicates and rename them appropriately (such as My Project Part 1, My Project Part 2 and so forth).
Delete the second half from the first duplicate (My Project Part 1). Delete the first half from the second duplicate (My Project Part 2). If you created three or more duplicates, then break them up into the relevant segments by deleting appropriate sections.
Now try to export one project at a time. Hopefully, iMovie will be able to handle the shorter projects. If one of the projects fails to export, there may be a corruption in that project file. Splitting that project further may help to isolate the problem.
You may, of course, end up with several exported project files (movies), but at least you will have something for your efforts. If your intention is to burn a DVD, you can include them as separate movies on the DVD, but bear in mind that for a single layer DVD the total running time is limited to 2 hours when using iDVD (including menus). If publishing to the web, you could upload them as separate "episodes" or the like.
TIP: When splitting up the project into shorter sections, you could add an appropriate title to the end and/or beginning of each section before exporting (such as, "End of Part One" and "Part Two" etc.) to avoid an abrupt end or start for each section.

How do I link this drop down menu created in Fireworks when I export to dreamweaver, Help!

Hello everyone,
Thank you in advance for dealing with my inexperience and answering my question.
I have been stuck on this for wayyyy too long. Here is my problem. I created a drop down menu for a portfolio website I am building. When I pull this into Dreamweaver the way to link the menu items to the pages is elusive. I have no idea what to do. Please help?
Here is the screenshot. Thank you very much Jennifer
OK, Well no one can actually see this image since it came in so small, but please help me anyway if you can?

Thank you for answering my question. I created the graphics in photoshop, sliced them in fireworks and now I am pulling the site in dreamweaver to link it. The dropdown is just a little dropdown menu. I created it in Fireworks because when I tried to create one in Dreamweaver I had to use a spry which was even harder to figure out and get to work. If I knew Html or CSS my life would be much easier but I don't. I don't have much time to learn it right now since I work over time all week, do graphics freelance and I go to school for computer science. I need to get this site up and I just want a fast little fix to get it up. When I have time to learn more I can make this site better or start a better site, but for right now it just needs to work. Is there a way to get what I have working so I can just get this site up. Later I will have more time and more experience to do this better. I am learning so thank you for your experience.
Thanks,
Jennifer

Weird problems with kt7 turbo (6330), PLEASE HELP!!

I just this last week purchased an older kt7 turbo (6330) to upgrade my brother's computer. I am pairing this with an Athlon XP 1700 processor. After installing all the hardware and booting up the computer, I started getting various errors. Sometimes the screen would just flash all kinds of colors, sometimes it would say something about a bios check not detecting the a: drive followed by insistent beeping, sometimes it just wouldn't start at all. After much hassle, I finally got the newest bios installed from MSI that claimed to fix some stuff between this motherboard and an Athlon XP 1700. (I didn't at the time suspect this to be the true culprit) Finally on Sunday afternoon, after a cold start, it magically started up and I finally got Windows XP installed. I found some drivers on the reference CD that seemed to help some. But now, after about 5-10 minutes, depending on the software being used, the computer will just shut itself down after a 60 second warning message. When I try reseting it, I start getting all of those weird errors again. The only way to get the computer to start up normally again is to let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to cool down, and then cold start it. At which point it will work again for another 10-15 minutes and shut down again. I am getting SOOOOO tired of these MSI motherboards not working for me!! I think MSI has a personal problem with me. PLEASE help me!! By the way, I don't think it's power related, cause I just put in a brand new P4 certified 400Watt powersupply.

Sounds like your heatsink on your CPU may not be seated correctly. Try pulling it, cleaning, reapplying compound, and reseating it.

-Reece,
We only have 1 single domain, 1 domain forest, no subdomains, only alias. I had replied to the other post as well. But I am happy to paste it here in case anyone want to read it.
So, after a few months of testing, capture and sending logs back and forth to Apple Engineers, we found out there is a setting in AD, under User Account that prevent us to log into AD from Mountain Lion. If you would go to your AD server, open up a user account properties, then go to Account tab, the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" option is checked. As soon as I uncheck that option, immediately I was able to log into AD on the Mac client. Apple engineers copied all my AD settings and setup a test environment on their end and match exact mine AD environment. They was able to reproduce this issue.
The bad part about this is... our environment required the "Do not require Kerberos preauthentication" is checked in AD, in order for our users to login into some of our Unix and Linux services. Which mean that it is impossible for us to remove that check mark because most, if not all of them some way or another require to login into applications that run on Unix and Linux. Apple is working to see if they can come up with a fix. Apparently, no one has report this issue except us. I believe most of you out there don't have that check mark checked in your environment... Anyone out there have any suggestion to by pass or have a work around for this?

Alt key switching documents instead of Creating Clipping Mask - New Mac Pro 2014 - Please help

I just got a new Mac Pro, and when I use the alt/option key as a shortcut in the layers palette (to create clipping masks and duplicate layers) instead it switches to other documents that I have open. It's only after this happened that I realized how often I use the option key in my work flow and it's frustrating.
Please help,
Thanks,
Lonno

Just solved it. It had to do with my secondary monitor, which is where my layers palette was. I used this link:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5476222?tstart=0
and turned off all the mission control settings I don't use. Apparently it was switching monitors whenever I used the alt key.

Tips to Creating a Forum - without FTP/MySQL.. please help!

I need to create a forum for my coworkers on our company website that I created a bit ago. The problem, however, is that I don't have direct access to our server - I can only access it locally from "my network connections" as a folder, and drop files into it. I'd imagine I can create a forum manually this way, then drop whatever is needed into the server folder (database, etc.?), but I have no idea where to start...
I tried simplescripts.com first, and tried to add PhPBB to my site, but it requires ftp info, which I don't have and I.T. won't give. I also can't install new software to the work comp (again, compliments of I.T.) but I do use my own laptop at work, too - so if something needs to be installed just to create the forum I can do that, but not to run the forum..
please help! Trying to work around FTP, which I don't really understand anyway, is very frustrating! Thanks in advance!!
I have 2 ideas that may work, but can anyone verify? I have another website hosted by bluehost, which uses simplescripts. Can I just create a forum for that site, and then manually transfer the files from that server to this one?
-or-
Can I create a forum on an external site, and just link to it? That seems easiest, but not ideal..

>The problem, however, is that I don't have direct access to our server
Then you can't do it.
A forum requires a database to store the data, plus some form of server side scripting. To host this yourself you will need a web server, database server and application server. You can't simply copy files to a file server if that is what you are asking.
> I'd imagine I can create a forum manually this way,
>then drop whatever is needed into the server folder (database, etc.?), but
No, this will not work.
>Trying to work around FTP, which I don't really
>understand anyway, is very frustrating! Thanks
>in advance!!
FTP is simply a protocol that you can use to transfer files. It has nothing to do with your problem. Your problem appears to be that you do not have a web server to run your forum on.
>Can I create a forum on an external site,
>and just link to it? That seems easiest, but not ideal..
Unless you find a web server in house you can use, that is your only option.

Missing audio after export. Please help!

So I made a video for myself and friends on iMovie and included some music that I legally purchased. This video is entirely non-commercial so I didn't see an issue with using some music for it.
when I export from iMovie, I get the video with no sound and then after the video ends I get the audio with no video. Can anyone explain to me what in the world is going on? First I can see the entire video with no audio, then all I see is white and the audio from the video pops up.
Last problem is that all the music is missing from iTunes. I can hear all the other audio, but the music I imported from iTunes is missing. It's just the regular audio I imported from the video camera with the clips. Can someone please help me out?
THANKS!

hi Sue,
In my timeline I had the music across both audio bars. Once I reimported the audio, it was all on the third timeline bar. It was colored orange. The audio files do not overlap at all however. So the top bar is filled with the video tracks. The second bar is empty. The third bar has the audio files. They are one after another, seperated by a second or two of silence. There is audio playing on some of the clips of video, but on most of the clips I have muted so that the music should be all you hear. I actually muted the clips themselves, and not the entire bar.
All the boxes on the far right are checked. I do not have a camera attached. I do have an external hard drive attached via firewire. I have over 80 individual clips in the video. I have 512 Megs of RAM and a 1.25 Ghz processor on my lampstand iMac G4. The file is about 9 minutes long.
when I export it to quicktime all the video shows up, without any errors except for the fact that it is completely silent. At the end of the video, I get a white screen and the audio from the video clips starts playing, in order, as though I extracted the audio from the entire video and placed it at the end for no reason. None of the music plays. The files that were muted appear to be staying muted, but the ones that have sound are playing. I followed the instructions above about burning a CD, importing the audio files from the CD and then exporting the video to avoid copy protection issues.
Under my advanced options in the Preferences window I unchecked "extract audio in paste over" and "filter audio from camera" after the first two times this happened to me. the problem continued after I unchecked those.
I think I've given you as much info as you might need. If there are any other questions please ask and I'll try to get the info for you. Thank you VERY much for your time and help.

Screen has a vertical line that flickers sometimes... please help

My screen suddenly had a vertical line that flickers (sometimes), it's green. I don't know how it got there and where did it come from. It just suddenly appear. I left my computer running (and at that time the line wasn't there) as I was waiting for an email to come through but when I got back to it, it had the line. I've restarted my computer but it was still there. What could be the problem and how to fix it? Please help. Thanks.

Motion Export glitches - PLEASE HELP!!!!

I have had it with Motion.
I am trying to export something that I have had done for 3 weeks and each time I export it a new glitch comes up on the export. For instance - graphics will be missing, video will all of the sudden gitter, and emitter will move, a graphic will move. Is this program for real? How can anyone run a business with this???????
I have a totally clean system. Everyrthing has been reinstalled - Is Motion just the buggiest progam ever? Please help me if you can - My clients are hanging in the balance. Im exporting as an animation millions plus. Not using compressor. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Thanks for the info -
Is there any way around it?
Why is there that size restriction?
At this point - Im resolved to render pieces til they work properly and re-assemble them in FCP or Motion withouth the 2048 size problem and cut my losses. That will take far less time then fixing all of the graphics that exceed that size restriction. I love the ease of Motion - its just frustrating some of the bugginess Im getting from the program.
Anyway - let me know if you have any other helpful ways around this -
Thanks for helping me solve this - I'll have to find more creative ways or use 3D plugins to make things 'fly' at you in the future.
