Imovie issues any ideas?

I can't preview my project in imovie, when I try the screen is black. When I try to add videos from my event library the videos appear to be gray.

*Give this a try:*
Double check to see if you have any 3rd Party plugins that may be interfering with iMovie & QuickTime.
Here are the only 2 files _IN MY QUICKTIME FOLDER:_
*/ Library / QuickTime / AppleIntermediateCodec.component*
*/ Library / QuickTime / AppleMPEG2Codec.component*
If you do have more than the 2 files listed above, temporarily move the "NON APPLE" components outside of the QuickTime folder and try launching iMovie.
For further info take a look at this post:

    Even though no one replied, i fixed my problem.
    Don't know if it will work for anyone else with similar problem

    Ziatron's post in the second one is pretty comprehensive, and Roger Wilmut1's contribution in the first one.
    Either way you need an analogue-to-digital converter and there's not a huge choice.
    A couple of mentions are given for the EyeTV Hybrid for this job, but I don't know if that will import to iMovie. The ADC method should import directly.

  • I accepted/installed an update for iMovie and it turns out that this version is not compatible with my graphics card. So now I can no longer open or use iMovie.  Any ideas on how to get around this - how to revert to the previous version.

    Look in your Applications folder.  If your system behaved as expected, you should have an iMovie 9.0 folder in your Applications folder.  Apple moved the old version there as even they suspected the new versions was a train wreck.

    There is another setting for "Start Conversation from", that needs to be set to phone number.

  • When I opened the new iMovie (10.0.3) it asked if i wanted to update the old library or wait till later  I opted to wait and now it doesn't ask and I don't know how to get the movies I had in iMovie 11 into the new iMovie. Any ideas

    How to move imovie11 files to new imovie 10.0.3.  I did not opt to answer the original question instead selected update later, but I don't know how as the new program never poses that question again any ideas?

    Choose File - Update projects and events.  See:

  • Itunes sample in Imovie - fastforward - any ideas?

    Hello all,
    I want to add an Itunes background to one of my movies.
    However, I want to be able to fastforward to about 10 secs into the song and then have that as my start of the movie.
    I have bought the song legitimately so I dont see why I should be able to do this.
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    Thanks... I managed to find it in the end but thanks for your quick response.
    Do you happen to know if I can save my editted project into mpeg format so I can share my video with friends?

  • IE6/CSS browser issue- any idea why this is not working?

    http://www.wilmerdds.com/test/index.htm
    If you look at the left column, you will see a black box.  It shouldn't be black. it should match the bg color of the column.  Any idea why this is happening?

    Hi
    The problem is that you are using a png, and IE6 does not support png transparency. You could try using the iepngfix from - http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/.

  • ILife broken! All started with iMovie problem, any ideas?

    I have posted in the iMovie 6HD forums about a problem of it slowing down to a crawl and no one has been able to resolve that issue. I spoke to several employees at the Apple store about the problem & they ran it past a 'Genius' who didn't suggested reinstalling the entire iLife suite.
    I did that yesterday and now none of the iLife suite will even open. When you click the dock there is 1 bounce and nothing happens. Dbl click the icon in the finder, it acts like its opening, but nothing happens. What went wrong? I've never had Apple software ever act this way.
    I reinstalled the iLife software twice to no avail. Please help!
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Did you run the suggested 3-pass Memtest? What did it report? What did the AHT say? If you believe that the hardware is OK, then it is a software issue. If so, and you have done a clean install from the ground up... things are indeed looking bad for you.
    I would first run the 3-pass Memtest in single user mode as the instructions outline. This test alone will take several hours... unless your "lucky" enough to have an easily identifiable bad memory block. After that, and assuming the AHT passed everything it is now time to start from scratch. Install the OS and nothing but the OS. Do a clean install, not an archive and install (again, make sure everything is backed up to another drive). Take the new install out for a spin- does everything seem OK? Then start installing apps one at a time. If the iLife apps are your main apps, install them, run all the updates, and then repair permissions. Now how are the iLife apps responding (if at all)? If installing JUST the iLife apps on a clean install of the OS doesn't work, there is a high probability of a hardware problem which means now a technician would need diagnose the hardware problem. If the iLife apps work without any other software installed, then there is a high probability there is a software conflict with another program. Now it is time to install one program at a time trying out the iLife (iMovie) apps until you see which program is causing the conflict.

  • Photo files disapearing from hard Drive while using Lighroom not relink issue, any ideas?

    I've been using Lightroom and while using it files have been disappearing, I understand how to relink the files, it's not that.
    The file folders are showing up but the files are missing. Not all files are affected. They haven't been in my trash.
    Seagate have sent me a 'What a shame, it's not our fault email' Won't be buying any more of their products. They say it's a lightroom / Mac OS problem.
    Does anyone know how I can retreive these missing files? If they've had the same problem? Thank you.

    Does anyone know how I can retreive these missing files?
    Restore from your backup copies
    Download and install an "undelete utility" (there are free ones available) and see if it can recover the files

  • Hi i have lost access to my broadband WIFI ( i have BT home hub) and despite trying everything inc turnin everything off, reinstalling onto ipad nothing is working I do have access on my desk top so i dont think its a broadband issue any ideas? miss my Ip

    Hi Twice recently I have lost access to my BT homehub broadband wifi have tried all sorts inc turning everything off from router through tried also to disconnect my Ipad accedd and then reinstall but again no joy Im not very tech savvy so basic instructions please
    I stll have access to broadband on my desk top so i dont think the problem is with provider or router more like the connection between my router and my Ipad
    please can anyone help really lost without my IPad have using my desktop now
    Thanks Ann

    Do you have other mobile devices that can connect to your wifi with out issue?
    Try this:
    Reboot ipad by pressing and holding both the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go. Then try to connect to network.
    Go to settings, Toggle airplane mode on/off. Make sure bluetooth is off. Turn on wif (airplane mode off). Try to connect.
    Reset Network Settings
    Go to settings/general/reset/reset network settings. Then try to connect to network.
    If its your home router, then reboot router by unplugging for 5-10min. (do this while you're resetting network settings).
    If problem persists, then check for firmware updates on your router.(you check router manufacturer support website for downloads and instructions).

  • Latency Issue - any ideas?

  • Macbook pro system running slow - etrecheck shows issues - any idea how to apply fixes?

    Hi I normally consider myself pretty web savvy but I'm totally lost on what to do here. This computer has been running slow since I got it, but the harddrive went sideways recently. I've never worked with a recovered drive - which I apparently have as my terminal lists my workfolder-2 so....I'm guessing I'm pretty screwed. I learned about etrecheck through the forums here but don't understand how to apply it
    Would anyone help me understand what I need to do?
    Here's my etrecheck:

    Adding some RAM would help. Even though you haven't restarted for 4+ days, this is a little high. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

  • I thought i downloaded a free magazine and would receive it weekly-.i am not getting the new issues-.any idea why?

    Trying to learn the app store and new stand and how to download magazines on my iPad.  Thought I downloaded a free weekly magazine but it is not coming weekly. What are the steps to do this.  It said it was free.

    Did you subscribe to the magazine? Many of the magazine apps are listed as free (for the app that lets you read the magazine) but requires you to subscribe. The subscription may be a paid subscription that you have to purchase.
    Read the fine print under the magazine's app requirements.
