IMovie Hang after loading clip made by FCEHD

I am trying to load movie clip which was made by Final Cut Express HD. The length is about 11.7 GB (56 min).
But iMovie was hang up when the process was almost done.
Any idea? Thanks,
Kenny

Kenny,
in FC choose only one sequence as a test and then go on file export to QT and save the .dv file. Within iMovie, choose import from the menu and locate the .dv file and open it. It should open as a clip into your clip pane. Hope that helps. iMovie should not hang itself in this scenario. What you cannot do is to import the sequence directly from FC into iMovie.

IMovie Hangs After Full Quality Sharing Is Complete

Hi,
Why does this happen? I did a Full Quality Share on a 2-1/2 hour multi-clip movie (using Share Selected Clips Only). The export progress dialog hung after the export was clearly finished. I eventually had to Force Quit iMovie.
The exported movie looks fine in QT Pro. However, Movie Properties in QT shows that this movie is 24 frames longer than what I exported from iMovie. Doesn't seem to be a big deal, but annoying nonetheless.
I'm more concerned about iMovie hanging after a long movie export as described.

2-1/2 hour multi-clip movie (using Share Selected Clips Only)
so, your project is in timeline even longer then 150min? how much did you import into iM, to create such a "beast"? must be a gigantic project, hm?... Titanic II... ;-))
iM is a consumer product, we do read of reports here, that from some point of size (imported data, length, complexity of project), iM is a little "overwhelmed..." esp., iM is part of iLife, meaning, mainly meant exports go to tape (=60min max.) or iDVD (120min max.)
secondly, MacOsX is a UNIX system, which makes excessive use of socalled temp-files on (startup-) harddrive... it is recommended, not to overcrowd the drive 80 - 90% of max.
probably, your ~35GB of data transfer from a ~60GB project was simply too much for your Mac?
helpful?

IMovie hangs after awhile.

I couldn't really find a forum talking about my situation, so I'll post it here. Whenever, I'm halfway through my iMovie project, iMovie would hang on me and I would have to force quite it. Sometimes, even after force quitting, iMovie just won't quit. So I have to do the tiresome job of restarting. Any ideas what's happening? Thanks in advance!

Same problem (IMovie hangs) but this happens as soon as I open it.
I get the Beach ball and can only force quit by going into Finders first,which will allow me to access the Apple menu (to force quit).
This has been going on for almost a week now. I've done pretty much everything to solve this,from repairing disk permissions and running Onyx to re-installing Imovie 08 and Leopard on my 6 months old Macbook and creating new accounts. with only intermittent sucess.
I've been using Imovie to archive my home videos on a external hard drive and only today did I notice that the problem is consistent if I have the Ext. HD connected but not so with itt.
Would there be some thing with the Seagate HD+Vantec enclosure that is causing this problem or the data that's on it? Some of my film footage on the hard drive is defective in that I believe a magnet was next to the miniDV tapes the film was originally on and the voices or sound is clipped or intermittently missing and it appears the video was as well since I'm getting a hundred thumnails in Imovie for a few minutes of video.
Could all these thumnails video clips be too much for Imovie to handle?
I have 11 gig left on my internal hard drive and 2 gigs of memory and all my software is up to date

ITunes hangs after loading, un/reinstall does not help

Hello. I use iTunes on a Win 7 desktop, 64 bit version. When I click the iTunes icon, it loads, then it hangs. I cannot even scroll the subscribed podcasts. The task manager indicates it's not responding, and it will do so until I force stop the program (end process). I just updated iTunes today. I'm not able to access the version in the current operating state. I've uninstalled and reinstalled with the same results. Any clue what's happening? Thanks!

Uninstalling Bonjour seems to have fixed the lockup for me. However it is still ridiculously slow. Something to do with Podcasts is seriously awry.
Just trying to download a single Podcast from my library and my ipod, and iTunes takes more than 10 seconds to even respond, and I then have to delete them twice before they actually get deleted.
I will make a separate thread about it, but all this Cloud functionality is just making iTunes slower and slower, and I wish you could 100% turn it off.

Premiere Pro CC crashes after 'loading media'

Last week I had to swap my media from one HDD to another.
When next loading up the project Premiere crashed right after the 'loading media' bar was complete.
No panels or anything opened up like expected. And premiere became completely unresponsive.
I went back to using the origional HDD but I still had the same problem.
My soultion was to create an entirely new project and import my media again.
Today the same thing has happened except I never moved the footage off of the HDD.
The second project now hangs after 'loading media' too.
Other projects where all the files are on my internal HDD are fine.
Ne error report is generated and I have a small chance of being able to open task manager to shut down Premiere. Usually I have to pull the plug to turn it off as it seems to be using 100% of my Disk usage.
Everything is up to date (6.0.5) and I am running Windows 8 (sorry not sure what information you need :/ )
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Safari hangs after 10.4.7 update

When I was running 10.4.6, Firefox and Safari were comparible in speed.
After I upgraded to 10.4.7, I'll enter a URL or click a link to another page, and Safari will just kinda hang after loading about half of the items on a page (according to the progress bar at the bottom). Usually if I re-request a page (clicking a link a second time, or re-entering the URL) the page will load completely. Firefox loads all pages as it did before.
I've done all the permissions repair thingys.
I've tried upgrading my flash player to flash 9 (just came out today, I think) but it didn't help, though flash 9 seems to now allow me to view spiketv.com videos that I wasn't able to see before.
I also did a "Reset Safari", and I think it helped a little, but the hanging problem persists.
Has anyone else experienced this since upgrading to 10.4.7?

I'm suffering from the same problem but it started a few days ago without me installing 10.4.7. It just hangs while downloading web pages. I don't mean the browser app hangs - I can still access menus. It just fails to download web pages. This will typically happen after, say, 30 minutes of use. I have reset Safari, switched of Java and Javascript, and it all has no effect. If I quit Safari and restart it cures the problem for a short while. If I disconnect from my wireless network and reconnect it has no effect. Meanwhile Firefox works fine so that's the browser I'll use until Apple fix Safari. The hang can happen mid-page, and then from that point no pages in any tabs will download.

Solaris hangs after reboot on HP DL160

Hi,
my HP DL160 runs fine with Solaris 10, but you can't do a soft reboot, because it won't boot Solaris after that (hangs after loading kernel). I think it's because of a ATA Bug, but nothing has helped to solve the problem (done the ata-revert-to-defaults=0...etc.).
Can someone please help me?
Bye

can you please help by guiding us what really need to be done? i have the same problem on the same model of machine. tq

All of my iMovie projects disappeared after loading Mavericks. The updated version of iMovie shows no files and cannot find any files to Import. My machine, a beefed up Mac Mini, has slowed to a crawl. Suggestions?

My Mac Mini takes forever to load programs now. After loading Mavericks it seems like I am back in PC World again!! My biggest concern is ALL of my iMovie projects seem to have vanished. I do not have sound on some web sites like YouTube. I lost the option to mirror from the Mac to the TV but I was able to solve that. Any suggestions on recovery of files? I do not use TimeMachine and did not back up anything before the Mavericks installation. I know...that's bad. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. What can I do?

I made a movie in iMovie then deleted the clips in it. I have reimported the clips in an event with the same name as previously and some clips in the movie are still saying source slip missing even though they are there. Some clips are fine in the movie, but most are just black and when I hover over them, it says source clip missing. How to I fix this? Thank You

I did that too, then I did a migration assistant to a new Mac and ALL of my movies have Source Clip Missing now, even though the original clips are still in the iPhoto Videos. I can stand to re edit one or two projects, but not ALL.

Can i publish a movie clip made in iMovie that has sounds licensed to Apple as background music?

I tried uploading a clip made in iMovie to Facebook and it got rejected due to alleged copyright infringement. Has anyone else had this problem?

follow advice given in this user tip
YouTube says I have violated copyright by using Apple's music?

Imovie won't load project file after crash

Hi All,
I was almost done with an iMovie project, and while I watching the preview, iMovie crashed.
After I opened iMovie again, the project was there anymore. I can see all other projects but the project I want, the one I was working on when it crashed.
I checked the forum for similar problems but no solution worked so far. The file is in the Projects Folder, I can even see the preview a thumbnail of the project.
Here is what I tried so far:
deleting com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
deleting com.apple.iApps.plist
Moving file to a different location
Renaming the file
clicking twice on the file to open
Transfered the file to another Mac (with event files)
Deleted iMovie and reinstalled from AppStore
rebooted many times
None of this worked so far. The file is there, 13MB, but nothing seems to recognize the file into iMovie.
Mountain Lion latest version. iMovie 11 latest version.
Please help, a load of work was put into this and I need to finish the movie by Thursday.
All help appreciate it.

There are a number of others here having the same problem (including me), where the project appears in Finder in the iMovie Projects folder but is not listed in the Project Library in iMovie. The project just seems to disappear from the Library.
Here is a link to a recent topic. It includes a post by me where I've provided links to other topics regarding this issue.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21296973?ac_cid=tw123456#21296973
You've given an excellent summary of things you've tried. I've also tried most of those, but haven't as yet reinstalled iMovie. As I have Final Cut Pro X, I also attempted to open the project file in that app with no success. FCP X crashed just after loading, after I had selected from the menu - File > Import > iMovie Project.
You can submit feedback to Apple - from iMovie's Menu select iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback.
Sorry I can't help you solve this.

Win XP Hangs after Splash Screen (PointSec Loaded)

I have a lenovo t400 laptop, that has Pointsec encryption (6.1.3) ,and WinXP loaded on it.
I ran the Think Vantage Lenovo update tool which downloaded and installed a number of updates - as I hadn't run it for ages.
Now when I try to start the computer it hangs after the XP splash screen is displayed. The screen simply goes black.
I have tried the various Safe Mode options (include VGA Mode, and start with last successful configuration) without luck. They also fail to boot.
The flow is:
Power On, PointSec Authentication Screen, Win XP Splash screen, then a black screen
I have successfully got into the system using UBCD4Win with the pointsec plugin loaded, this loads a WinPE type environment via a USB stick and allows me to access the C: drive unencrypted (as I have authenticated with Pointsec).
I'm really stuck for ideas as to which of the update is causing the problem, and would love to hear some suggestions on how to fix this situation.
Additional Info:
The last few lines in ntbtlog.txt is:
Did not load driver Direct Parallel
Did not load driver SM bios service
Did not load driver SM bus service
Loaded driver \SystemRoot\System32\Drivers\Cdfs.SYS
Looking in:
c:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$
it looks like Service Pack 3 has been installed:
The file: spuninst\spuninst,inf shows:
NtServicePackVersionText = "Service Pack 3"
NtServicePackPreviousVersionText = "Service Pack 2"
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Fixed!!!
The problem was the lenovo updates (most likely culprit being the video driver I presume).
Using UBCD4Win with the pointsec plugin I was able to
* get access to the decrypted c: drive
* Manually rolled back the updates to c:\windows\system32 and c:\windows\system32\drivers
Original files were found in places like: c:\windows\system32\reinstallbackups\008\DriverFiles
* Finally I had to roll back the registry updates that the updates did. UBCD4Win provides a tool to do this: Registry Restore Wizard. It basically just looks in the System Restore Directory c:\System Volume Information and lists all the available Restore Points (thankfully the Lenovo updates mark a restore point before they run). You can also do this manually using the following instructions:
http://hypography.com/forums/tutorials-and-how-tos/17193-xp-recovery-instructions-for-ubcd4win.html
This done the system booted successfully.
I most definitely will be staying clear of pressing the big blue button from now on. That was a real nightmare to fix.

Lost sound in some film clips when finishing project. Using iMovie 11, after adding music to photo section, could not get sound back in 2 film clips at end of movie. Beginning clips ok. How do I restore sound? Thx.

Everything in your project will be exported when you use the share menu.
If you want to export only half, I suggest that you
1) Select the project in the Project Library.
2) Click FILE/DUPLICATE PROJECT
3) Give the duplicate a name, like Project A snippet.
4) Open the duplicate project in the Project editor and delete the segments that you do not need.
5) Then Share.
You mentioned surrounding a portion of the clip you were editing in Yellow. Once you do this, you should right-click and then select either DELETE SELECTION, TRIM TO SELECTION, or one of the other options available. That is a key tool in editing.
You mentioned MPEG Streamclip. I agree that MPEG Streamclip is a great tool.

After syncing Firefox with my Android phone, Google calendar is not functional. It hangs on "Loading" and will not allow updates or edits. Calendar works in IE, just not Firefox on any computer. Clearing cookies and cache no help.

I synced Firefox with my Droid Razr Maxx Firefox. Now Google Calendar hangs on "Loading" and will not function. Clearing cache and cookies does not help. Works the same on any computer Firefox. But Gmail works fine and Calendar is okay under other browsers.
