IMovie hangs & leaves screen debris

Hi,
I have an issue with iMove sometimes hanging when it is saving, specifically during the SAVING THUMBNAILS part. Have to use Force Quit. Also, following that when it is re-opened, it puts the first thumbnail up in the upper left hand corner of the screen - outside of the app, and then it stays there when the program is closed.
[It also won't send to iDVD, and I posted a query in that forum.]
TIA,
Michael

Hi Michael
This can be about just anything.
a. I don't use the Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie AT ALL. It rather
destroys than make me happy especially if there is photos in my movie.
I do:
- Close iMovie
- Open iDVD
- Drop the movie project icon (with a Star on it) into the open theme window
in iDVD.
Vo-i-la !
b. Strange behaviour of a Mac can be just about anything.
Most common is when the free space on the internal hard disk is running low.
This is very important regarding iDVD cause You can't set another scartch disk.
- less 5Gb - You should not be able to get anything serious done - and what's
eventually comes out will most cetainly not work properly
- 5 - 10Gb can work sometimes but with extream times
- 25Gb is the way I have mine.
I would also:
Delet iMovie pref file - could help
iMovie
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist
and
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie3.plist
AND I would also
- Run: Repair permisions: Apple Disk Util tool (on hard disk/Applications/Tools/Disk Util tool
and I would also
- Run: Repair hard disk: Apple Disk Util tool - to do this You need to start from
CD/DVD or external hard disk !

  • Custom leave screen creation with feature of uploading doctor's certificate

    Hi Experts,
    In our ESS / MSS implementation project we have to create custom leave screen. In the leave screen, we have to provide following feature:
    The employee has to provide the scanned copy of doctor's certificate while applying for sick leave. For this, the leave entry screen should have a browse button. When the employee will click on browse screen one window should pop-up. Here the employee has to browse and attach the scanned doctor's certificate. The certificate will be attached to the leave application.
    Later on when the Manager will login he should see the leave request along with doctor's certificate attached by employee.
    How we can achieve this?
    Regards,
    Gary

    Hi,
    I am calling Modal screen (Dialog Pop up screen) from my first screen by 'Leave to Screen 'nbr' ' then once user enter the value in the pop up screen then I haveto display value with TABLE in Final screen as 'Normal screen'  here I am  using LEAVE to SCREEN, but after this call - my new final screen is not displaying as noraml screen it also displaying like 'Modal Screen' Like big pop scrren.!!
    When I tried final CALL by using CALL SCREEN instead of LEAVE screen the final screen with  table is dispalying fine as Normal screen but its returning control to pop-up screen which I dont want.
    I like Screen flow as 1>2>3--->1
    Help me to solve this Problem.
    Regards

    Hi,
    Check the below thread,
    Unable to close Modal dialog box
    1) 1st screen--> 2nd screen --> Use CALL SCREEN.(This is Modal Screen)
    2) 2nd Screen-->(ModalScreen so you need come back) use the above thread
    3) Still on 1st screen--> Use CALL SCREEN --> To 3rd Screen
    4) 3rd Screen back to First Screen -> use LEAVE TO SCREEN First_Screen_NO.

  • Messages Screen Sharing Ends with a "Hanging" Desktop Screen

    Since the OS X 10.8.1 update, Messages screen sharing – that used to work well in my environment – everytime ends up with a hanging desktop screen. That means: The screen of the desktop, where Messages screen sharing took place, freezes. I have to swipe to another desktop in order to successfully quit Messages via the dock context menu. After that, its desktop screen is responsive again.
    This happens independant of who ends the screen sharing session.
    It used to work seemlessly before OS X 10.8.1. So I think there is an issue with this update, Messages and the screens (desktops) management.

    Hi,
    As Screen Sharing does tend to involve a change from the Shared Screen at one resolution changing to your screen at possibly another (which for some produces the White Screen In Sharing) I thought it might pay to look at the method when wanting to go back to your own screen during a Screen Sharing Chat
    I would still report it here
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ichat.html
    Obviously you have to use some of the free text area to state your OS version and Messages version at it will not appears in any of the drop downs.

  • 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?

  • Different between LEAVE SCREEN & SET SCREEN 0

    Hi there,
    I have a program where I have the main screen and another one.
    to call the secondary screen I used CALL SCREEN 0200. However I have doubt when I'm executing the BACK.
    I don't know the different between SET SCREEN 0. and LEAVE SCREEN 0100.
    when 'BACK'.
    SET SCREEN 0.
    OR
    LEAVE SCREEN 0100.
    Can anyone tell me what is the different?
    Thanks in advance
    Alexis

    Hi,
    Set Screen
    Syntax
    Set screen <number>.
    In module pool program
    Case okcode.
         When  u2018DISPu2019.
              Set screen 200.
         When u2018LISTu2019.
              Set screen 300.
    Endcase.
    In this case, the entire processing of current screen takes place and then the system branches out to next screen. If you want to branch out to the next screen without processing the current screen, LEAVE SCREEN should be used along with the SET SCREEN.
    For Example:
    Case okcode..
         When  u2018DISPu2019.
              Set screen 200.
              Leave Screen.
         When u2018LISTu2019.
              Set screen 300.
              Leave Screen.
    Endcase.
    When SET SCREEN is used, control cannot be transferred to the main screen or previous screen, unless you write code for the same.
    Leave to screen
    To SET a new screen without processing current screen, you need to use the following two statements together:
    SET SCREEN 200.
    LEAVE SCREEN.
    Or a Single statement
    LEAVE TO SCREEN 200.

  • When I play an iMovie at full screen, how can I remove the bottom toolbar

    When I play an iMovie at full screen, how can I remove the bottom toolbar?  It shows up on the projector screen and I don't want my audience to see those tools at the bottom quarter of the screen.

  • 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

  • IMovie 4 black screen

    I have a 17" PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz running OS X 10.4.11.
    I have iMovie 4.0.1. When I open it, the main window appears for a few seconds and then the entire screen goes black except for the pointer. I can command-tab to switch programs, but only the menu bar of another program is shown. If I activate Exposé I can see the iMovie window and if I position my pointer strategically can still interact with iMovie, even though the screen remains black. Quitting iMovie returns the screen to normal. Can anyone think of an explanation or possible solution for this problem?

    Hi
    This seems to be a very strange problem. Can only share some thoughts.
    • Free space on internal/Start-up hadr disk ? How much ?
    • Have You done all normal trouble shooting things as
    Deleted iMovie pref file
    Repaired Permissions (Disk Util tool)
    Repaired Hard Disk (Same tool but needs to start Mac from DVD or external hard disk)
    • Does iMovie 4 - really run under Mac OS X.4 ? (I run Max OS X.3.9 on my PB G4 1.5GHz)
    • Re-installed iMovie 4
    Else see my list
    *Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Delete iMovie pref file
    iMovie pref file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    • Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
    • Screen must be set to Million-colors
    • Turn off Mac and disconnect Mains/Power for 20-30 minutes - will at least re-set FW-port
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
    • Problems in iPhoto Library can affect iMovie to crash on start-up. 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
    • iMovie updated ?
    • QuickTime updated ?
    • Mac OS version ?
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 4 - will not work under Mac OS X.5 Leopard
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.1.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    • Program miss-match. iMovie’09 v. 8.0.6, Mac OS X.5.8 AND QuickTime 7.6.4 - is OK (will work under Leopard and Snow-Leopard)
    From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
    Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
    there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
    iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
    to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

  • Leaving Screen

    Given this question, which answer would you pick?
    Which statement interrupts processing of the currenet screen?
    A.  Leave screen
    B.  Call screen 100
    I'd be curious to know what others would choose for the answer.

    I would say both interrupts the processing of the current. 
    LEAVE SCREEN, will stop the processing of the current screen and leave to a next screen in the flow.
    example...
    SET SCREEN 0.
    LEAVE SCREEN.
    CALL SCREEN, will stop the processing of the current screen and go to that screen,  when the use leaves the screen 100, control is then returned to the caller.

  • Yoga 2 13, hang / black screen (Windows 10)

    OS: Windows 10 Symptoms: Laptop hangs when leaving it alone. Screen has turned off but the power button is not blinking. Computer is fully unresponsive, nothing but a full power cycle (hold power button for a while) helps. Capacitive windows button gives feedback, but nothing happens. If fans are spinning loudly, they continue spinning loudly until power cycle. It is unknown if this issue is present in Windows 8.1, Windows 10 was installed as soon as it was purchased. All drivers have been updated from the support page to Windows 10 versions. Bios has also been updated to the latest version.

    Has anyone else experienced this with a Yoga 2 13? Wondering if this could be a hardware issue.

    Hi
    May be You find help here ?
    Trouble
    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

  • Z77A-GD65 Multiple BIOS Issues - B4 Hang, Splash Screen Blinking

    Back in November 2012, I built a home server with a Z77A-GD65.  Lately, I've noticed some strange things happening that I've been trying to research but to no avail.
    First off, I get the B4 code hang-up whenever I'm booting.  This doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot, it hangs on B4 for about 10-15 seconds, flashes 92 really quick, and then goes to A2 which it stays for another 5 or so seconds.  After that I get the MSI splash screen for about 1 second, then it blinks 5 times.  After that it goes into Windows just fine.
    The blinking is a new issue, the B4 hang is not.  I've read from multiple posts that this is a USB issue.  When I disable USB legacy support, the issue goes away, but of course then I can't have legacy support.  I have yet to figure out what exact device is causing it.  In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated BIOS to A.A0.  After updating to this version of BIOS the splash screen blinks 5 times before going to the "Starting Windows" splash screen.  This is a more difficult issue to figure out why it's doing this because if you search for "BIOS" and "flash" or "flashes" or "flashing", you typically get results for flashing your BIOS.   Hence, why I'm using the term "blinking".  But even then I can't really find a solution out there.
    I also happened to see that the website for the Z77A-GD65 is showing a newer BIOS version, but I'm unable to flash this (at least using M-Flash).  I threw it on a USB, re-enabled USB legacy and whenever I click on it to install, the BIOS screen hard locks.  The screen just freezes exactly where it's at in the BIOS and the mouse is dead.  However, I can CTRL+ALT+DEL on the keyboard and it will reboot the system so I don't need to power cycle the computer.  Not sure why this is happening either.  Perhaps I need to flash this a different way?  Maybe I don't need to flash this at all?
    I could really use some input here on why this is happening.
    As for the specs on my system, they're as follows:
    i7-3770K overclocked to 4.2 Ghz by using the Turbo Mode in BIOS
    32GB Komputerbay DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz DIMM with Low Profile Blue Heatspreaders Quad Channel RAM | 9-9-9-24 XMP ready
    AMD PowerColor 7870 Myst Edition GPU - currently not overclocked although overclocking this doesn't seem to affect any issues
    2 - 128 GB Corsair SATA III SSD - one runs the OS, the other I use to load games from
    2 - 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM Sata II HDD's mirrored via Windows 7
    1 - 750 GB Seagate Barracude 7200 RPM Sata II HDD
    1 - 1 TB Western Digital MyBook USB 2.0 external
    2 - 3 TB Seagate USB 3.0 external
    ASUS DVD Burner - not sure which one, it's a cheapy $20 from Newegg
    1 - PCI USB 3.0 expansion card
    Antec TruePower New TP-550 Modular 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
    NZXT Switch 810 gunmetal - currently have 4 fans running but plan on more, also the Switch 810 has the multi-card reader in the front with 1x SD Card, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
    for peripherals
    1 - Microsoft 360 Wireless controller adapter (legit one, not the knockoff although I had a knockoff prior to getting the real deal)
    1 - Logitech Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad
    I tried to be thorough.  Thanks in advance for any help!

    Probably a USB device problem.
    This is a candidate, as well as mouse and keyboard. Disconnect USB devices one at a time to find the culprit.
    A lot of devices running. PSU a +12V single rail or is it multi rail? A rail going to the graphics or components may not be enough amps. My best guess is the card reader.
    For UEFI/BIOS flashing, select your mainboard here and use the forum flash method;
    I'll definitely try unplugging some of these USB devices to see if that helps with the B4 hang issue.
    As for the PSU, according to the description for it on Newegg:  "Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output."  It has two rails going to the GPU.  The GPU is a new addition to the system and so I wasn't running it until recently.  The issues were occurring beforehand, but you're right that this PSU is underpowered for the rig considering PowerColor recommends a minimum of 500w.  I'm going to be buying a larger capacity one sometime in the very near future.  Any recommendations on good modular PSU's?  What's a good way to tell what wattage to get?
    Thanks for letting me know about the forum flash method.  I'll be back later when I have some results.
