Imovie not playing movies smoothly, help?

I am relatively new to mac and am not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. I created an imovie and it looked great, now the transitions are not smooth or clear and many of the photos in the movie to which I have applied the ken burns effect hesitate as the movie plays. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks.

You need to download Videora (free) and reprocess the mp4 files with 3GS as the selected output format. It's not all that user friendly (IMHO) but will do batch processing.
The 3GS video electronics is new -- and different than earlier models.

  • Quicktime 7.6 NOT playing movie trailers from Apple site???

    I have all the latest software OSX 10.56 running on a 3.06GHz Intel Duo but Quicktime 7.6 will not play movie trailers when on the Apple site. When I try, the site advises I need the latest Quicktime which I have already downloaded and installed fresh. It just doesn't seem to recognize it no matter which movies I try and view.
    Please help if you can?
    Thanks

    It's a piece of component software that's used by QuickTime to allow it to decode or encode different types of video/audio formats. The issue for me was that I had an old codec still in my system that should have been deleted/replaced during the last update, but was not. So when QT tried to access what it thought was an appropriate up-to-date decoder, it couldn't process the video with it and gave me a blank screen. Something similar could be happening to you as well.
    Try deleting all of the QuickTime components and folders in your system. Because you're using Leopard, I'm not sure all the files will be where they are for me. Do a thorough search of your system and clean out any QuickTime files you find, they'll be in HDD/Library, HDD/System/Library, and HDD/Users/"yourusername"/Library. Then reinstall QuickTime using the installer from Apple's downloads page(or Software update will probably work as well). You'll have to restart afterwards and make sure to repair permissions after you've rebooted(use Disk Utility). Then test out the trailers again and see if that solves it.

  • ITunes will not play movie on PC but will on AirPlay

    Since upddating to the new iTunes software (10.0.1.2) I haven't been able to play back any movies that I have purchased on iTunes on my Windows 7 Pro computer.
    I thought that maybe my database was currupt so I created a new libary on the computer and started fresh and downloading my music and my movies that I have previously purchased.
    I still cannot play a movie on my Windows 7 Pro PC. 
    When I click on a movie, it looks like it opens the movie on the screen, the playback controls appear and you can move the timeline and see / move the different chapter names on where the movies is at. 
    The screen remains black and you do not see the sound.
    I tried turning on Airplay and that worked playing the movies from my PC to my Apple TV so that confirms the movie file is okay.
    I have tried turning off in QuickTime the Direct3D Accelleration and alos putting Quicktime in Safe Mode(GDI Only) but it still will not play.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

    I just tried downloading a previously purchased TV show and it works so maybe its just movies.

  • Hi Def video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly in FCPX

    I have the latest version of Final Cut Pro X only an older, but fully compatible IMac, and have a new Panasonic AG-Hmc 40P video camera. I have shot video on my Gro Prop Hero 2 and the playback of the unedited video is perfect, but as I scroll through the unedited footage shoot by the Panasonic, the video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly. The video plays perfectly on the the camera in play back mode, but in FCPX it is junk.
    Do I have an incorrect setting that is doing this? I adjusted the palynack in preference but that made no difference.  I need help?

    FYI...
    There's a hidden feature in Mac OS X Lion that you can use to convert your video footage to Apple ProRes with very little effort and to the right specifications...
    Bring your video footage into your desktop or hard drive and then select all of them, and then right-right click on one of them to bring up the options menu... select ENCODE SELECTED VIDEO FILES. Mac OS X will take care of the rest for you automatically.
    If this option doesn't show up, make sure to install those codecs I recommendad earlier...

  • Latest version of itunes does not support Quicktime can not play movie from library

    Latest version of Itunes does not support Quicktime.  I can not play movies out of my itunes.  Please fix

    I don't usually download video from the iTunes store. I had a couple of long plane rides coming up and thought I might have time to watch the Stanford IOS7 programming class. On the plane I discovered this issue which has gone unaddressed since 2011 and has been worsened in Mavericks. in 2011 the advice was to open iTunes' get info pane and click run in 32 bit. That worked at least for some people. In Mavericks, iTunes will not launch in 32 bit.
    For the files you can locate in the finder ( mine are at
    /Users/raine001/Music/iTunes/iTunes\ Media/iTunes\ U/Developing\ iOS\ 7\ Apps\ for\ iPhone\ and\ iPad/1.\ Class\ Logistics\,\ Overview\ of\ iOS\,\ MVC\,\ Objective-C.mp4
    ) you can click on the file in the finder and it will launch in QuickTime. For some reason on the plane I could see the first lecture in the iTunes view but, although I could see all the other lectures in the finder, I could not see the first one.
    Ah well, maybe some other year I'll think about getting up to speed on ios7. Heck, maybe by then they will design a decent user experience.

  • HT3775 Hi...I have the OS X v10.6.8 but my QuickTime is not playing .mov files. How can I fix this?

    Hi...I have the OS X v10.6.8 but my QuickTime is not playing .mov files. How can I fix this?
    Depends of the specific kind of file you are trying to play. MOV refers to the file container. Any data compatible with the system used to create the file can be placed in an MOV file. If you don't have the same codecs available on your computer to play back the file or if your version of the QT player does not expect expect the encoded data to be in an MOV file container, then it cannot/will not play the file. Use the Finder Info window, media player Inspector/Information window, or a dedicated utility to determine what compression formats were used to create the MOV file and then install the required codec(s) if available.

  • 10.8.5 ITUNES WILL NOT PLAY MOVIES DOWNLOADED FROM ITUNES

    Downloaded the new iTunes last night and it seems to work well with music but it will not play movies I've downloaded from the iTunes store. The sore works, Radio works, I can buy from the store but movies I have from iTunes (Star Trek, The Incredibles, ST: Into Darkeness among others) strat then crash. I get a message about an error with a plug in (FX I think) that has failed or is not found.
    Anybody else seeing this? Any solutions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Okay, I think I found my problem. I have SRS iWOw installed and the FX plugin is part of that. If I disable iWow all movies play as they are supposed to.
    Looks like I need to contact SRS for an update/upgrade or dump it and find another sound enhancer app.
    Thanks fo looking.

  • IMovie not playing back edit master video on viewer

    I recently dumped about 140GB of various clips into iMovie, and I hit a couple of snags and need some help.
    First let's go with the easy question 1st. Is there way to categorize or arrange clips into groupings before you start editing? I'm sure there must be a Clip Bins option or something similar like in Final Cut and Adobe?
    NOW THE MAIN PROBLEM...
    Several of the movies I brought into iMovie play fine if you run them from events pane, but if you make even the smallest edit and try to run the edited footage, there is nothing. The screen is black, and the play head won't move at all. What's up with that? The original footage and thumbnail files seem to run fine on their own.
    Please help

  • Images in iMovie not playing back

    I added an image to a project I had already been working on.  I then added an audio file to all of the images. When I hit the play button the image I added does not show in the playback but instead an image two away and then it plays the second and third fine. This happened to two images I inserted in the project.
    I noticed that the recently added images in iphoto when I click the camera icon have a green check mark in the corner.  What does that mean and is that stopping them from showing in the playback?
    I would appreciate any help.

    Fixed the issue myself. Here's a step-by-step because I what found online pertaining to this issue were not clear on how to fix it.  (Note that this is what I did to fix the problems, some of the steps might not be strictly necessary.)
    How to get movies to start playing back again in iMovie '09: 
    1.) Close iMovie.
    2.) Delete contents of the "iMovie Cache" folder for the event that is not playing back correctly.
             - There are were two files "Cache.mov" and "Cache.plist", I deleted both.
    3.) Restart iMovie
    This appeared to force the program to generate new files and start working correctly.  From what I read on other postings it was probably caused by the program not closing properly, which I seem to recall it crashing on me or my wife a while ago.
    @ Bengt Wärleby
    I appreciate you taking the time to post a reply, but please try to read the question before you do so in the future.  I had said that files imported from the same camera work correctly (i.e. the same file type/codec), so the problem is obviously not a codec issue.  Furthermore, .mov is the extension for the QuickTime File Format (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.mov). 

  • Itunes videos will not play on Itouch-- HELP!! (please)

    I recently purchased an Itouch, (& I love it!!-for the most part) I just have one issue... none of the videos I purchased in the Itunes store will play on it! They will transfer without issue, but when I try to play it on my Itouch I get this message: "This movie could not be played". So my tv shows, music videos, AND movies will not play! (note: all were purchased/ downloaded from the itunes store). [They will play on my old Ipod mini tho...)
    I have spent two days perusing Apple support and all over the internet looking for a fix... nothing is working. I have the latest edition of itunes and everything. I have reset my Itouch, taken everything off and put it back on. I have un-installed and re-installed itunes... I have also done all of the trouble shooting steps... like the downloading of the sample video...
    One message board told me that I could go to Advanced> Create Iphone or Itouch version & that should do the trick... nope. It's not even an option for me... and since I don't have QuickTime PRO it won't let me convert and export my videos either.
    I am rather distressed about this, so I really hope you can help me.
    Thanks!

    I don't understand what your iPod model has to do with your version of iTunes...
    ... this option is in the iTunes' Advanced menu... if you have the latest version of iTunes installed, it would be right there... only grayed out if you don't have a video file selected.

  • Itunes will not play movies... To play this movie install quick time

    I downloaded itunes on a new computer and it won't play movies.  It keeps giving me the error "This movie requires Quick Time which is not included in this version of itunes.  To play this movie install quick time."  I've installed Quick Time, uninstalled it, installed it again, tried a change and repair trick that I read about but nothing has worked...please anybody help.

    Okay ... that's left the field a bit open.
    Can you check something for me please? I'd like to try doing a "Run as administrator" on your iTunes.
    Quit iTunes first.
    In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
    Open the "Program files" folder.
    Open the "iTunes" folder.
    Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
    Try playing the movie now. Does it play for you without the message?

  • Videos not playing in itunes HELP

    So I downgraded my iTunes 11 to 10.6 since I hate the new interface. But I've come with two roadblocks.
    1) videos that I've purchased OR i want to preview before purchase will not play. they are just black screens and the timer does not move, there is no audio, no anything. when i re upgrade to 11, everything is fine. but i want my 10.6 back.
    2) EVERY TIME i try to play a video, regardless of what video in my iTunes, it prompts me to authorize my computer and I enter my information, but it prompts me every single time, followed by the message that 1 out of the 5 computers you can authorize is authorized.
    anyone help : (

    Never mind. I found iTunes 6.05 in the Downloads section of the Apple page. Now I'm back, thank God.
