IMovie Playback and import issues

OK. Been having issues with iMovie here lately. First it was the playback, very choppy and the video would freeze up (audio seemed unaffected) made it real hard to edit previous projects. This started after a QT update. I hit the boards and tried everything suggested by you good people.... still having issues. Now , just today I tried to import some footage to a new project and it imports 3 to 4 seconds of choppy video then simply stops importing all together. Could this really be a QT bug that Apple needs to fix?... because nothing I do seems to rectify the problems. Using iMovie HD, and a Panasonic miniDV cam (which I have been using to import for years now).

Apple have not acknowledged a problem with Quicktime 7.0.2 and OS 10.3 but they have provided a download to go back to 6.5.2.

IOS 4.2.1: Intermittent Playback and Static Issue Resolution - JVC KD-AVX77

Hey guys, it appears that iOS 4.2.1 fixes the issue with the intermittent playback and static issues that I was having in my car. I just played two songs continuously with no issues.
I have the JVC KD-AVX77, and with iOS 4.1, I was having nothing but problems with music playback. It had got to the point that it was intolerable to use my iPhone in my car.
I am extremely pleased that it seems like Apple took everyone's feedback about this issue, and came up with a fix to it. Too bad that I've already stored my car for the winter.
Please post your own findings. I know this issue was across multiple head units and car manufacturers.

Same problem here. I have a 3gs and this intermitent static/hiss/lag happens when i connect through the usb on my toyota prius. This problem did not happen before the latest software upgrade. I have switched out the cables. Also tested on an ipod touch without the software upgrade and had no problem. It's a crazy annoying problem! Sounds a bit like listening to vinyl. I have also tried switching to airplane mode, but that didn't do anything. I have also reset the iphone while connected to the usb (the same way i frequently have to because of an earlier problem i've had with the usb failing to work in the car at all...) and that has not fixed it. I'm going to try connecting via bluetooth today and see what happens - i'm guessing that will be fine, but i don't like to listen via bluetooth.

Playback and render issues Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac

I have been having very "skippy" and sluggish issues when it comes to playback and editing. I have deleted all the old render files from my project and my hard drive, but nothing seems to work. Can someone please help me? I'm not sure if it is a space issue or what, but I haven't had much of these problems before. I know it's not a sequence settings issue, so I am very confused. My footage all comes from a Maxell P2 Eseries card and my computer specs are:
iMac
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

External Hard Drive and Import Issue

I'm sorry...I know the answer is here but I've read and read and just can't understand.
I have an external hard and imported about 30 gigs into Iphoto with the settings to NOT create a copy into the Iphotos directory. So I understand why the don't show up in Iphoto when the external is not connected but I don't understand why 10 gigs of memory was consumed when I executed the import???
Any help for a newbie would be gratefully appreciated....

A. Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, saving edits and sharing the photos.
B. When you run a Referenced Library iPhoto makes aliases that point to your own photos. To convert to a Managed Library you need to replace those with the actual files. AliasHerder is an application that will replace these aliases with the actual files, and so preserve your Library and all your work in it. As always: back up first.
C. To move the Library:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Premiere Pro CS6 - playback and C300 issues

Hi,
I seem to be having an issue with Premiere Pro playback.
At the moment, I'm looking through a rough assemble I've done on a PPro sequence and then the playback will start getting choppy. The only solution seems to be rebooting PPro, which is obviously very frustrating. The footage is C300 files, stored on my RAID. Why is this happening?
My system details are as follows:
MBP early 2011, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD
6TB Pegasus R6 RAID connected via Thunderbolt
30" ACD
Mac OS 10.7.4 , PPro 6.0.1
I use a 2-screen setup, so the 30" monitor will have the PPro tools and seq etc, whilst I use the 17" MBP screen as a viewing monitor.
Another issue I had which is more annoying that anything is that when I imported the rushes from my C300, PPro decided to import a fairly long (80") interview as loads of separate .MXF files RATHER than joining them together, which FCP seemed to have no problem in doing...How do I sort that out?
Thanks

I am having precisely the same problem as bricklaneeditor, and have exactly the same setup: MBP early 2011, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD,
30" ACD, Mac OS 10.7.4 , PPro 6.0.1
Indeed, a restart of Premiere Pro always fixes the problem -- for a while. I've also seen similar behavior in Media Composer 6.0.1 once or twice so am wondering whether it's an issue with this machine/OS, as the playback software architectures are so different on those two NLE's.
I should also mention that the problem is not isolated to any particular file format -- have seen it with timelines containing 7D footage, HDV and ProRes files.
I strongly suspect some sort of problem on either Apple's or Adobe's end with the GPU in this machine, as it is ATI and not Nvidia -- and is, as far as I know, the only non-CUDA GPU, at least on the Mac side, certified to work with the CS6 Mercury Playback Engine.
Also wondering whether an over-the-top or a clean install of Mountain Lion might shake things up enough to make a difference. (Otherwise I'm in no big hurry to upgrade my OS.) Is anyone seeing this problem with PPro under 10.8? Might be worth installing 10.8 over an external HDD clone of the System drive and booting temporarily from the clone just to see if the problem persists in Premiere.
Anyone have any thoughts on these possibilities?

Premiere Pro CS5 Playback and Performance Issues

I upgraded (2) separate editing work stations to CS5 from CS4 about a month ago. I moved from 4 to 5 to try and get rid of some problems which both work stations were encountering.
The problems since the upgrade are similiar: playback from timeline has intermittent audio drop out and video going to black during playback, (new one)-video locked up but audio kept playing-system hung and had to be rebooted.
Also, when clicking around on the timeline or scrubbing the timeline, Premiere crashes.
This type of performance on playout or timeline usage is consistent on both machines which have indentical setups and builds. None of this happens all the time but happens enough to causes problems with workflow. We edit on the work stations, dub files to playback system for air, and use a shared server to move files back and forth as needed but files are always stored locally instead of using straight from server.
These machines are:
Premiere Pro CS5.02
OS WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
12 GB Ram, DDR3-1333 (6-2GB modules)
CPU Intel Xeon Quad Core [email protected] GHZ, 2 processors, 8 MB Cache
500 GB SATA 2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)...309 GB of space avail
(3) 1 TB SATA 2 hard drives, 7200RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 STorage) 2.16 TB of space avail
Nvidia GE Force 9800 GT Graphics card, DUAL DVI, 1 GB
REaltek High Def Audio, Drivers 6.0.1.5953
(1) monitor in use
output of system runs to ADVC-700 breakout box to feed playback system
I have all of my software installed on C: (309 GB of 500 GB avail)
I have all of my videos files stored on D: (Raid Storage with 2.16 TB of 3 TB avail)
The only changes I've made since installing CS5 would be to change the auto save from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Don't know if an auto save would cause an issue on playback as I've noted above.
I'm not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination but I can follow directions if given for testing/eval.

Do the PPBM5 Benchmark and send the results to me by PM, in addition to sending the results to Bill as indicated. I'll have a look at what might be going on here.

Playback and Rendering issues when GPU acceleration is enabled

I'm using the new MacPro with dual AMD FirePro D300. When I enable GPU Acceleration (Open CL) I can no longer play through an entire sequence. It specifically has issues playing through any layered graphics or titles, but seems to play with those disabled. I have tried having "Composite In Linear Color" enabled and disabled, and neither seemed to make a difference. It's the same deal when rendering. If I have titles, and use GPU Acceleration it jumbles clips, cuts to black or static, all manner of weirdness. Is there something I'm missing?
An example of what playback looks like if I have titles and GPU Acceleration enabled.

This computer thing seems complicated enough that if your system works better with GPU accel off, that's you best performance. I understand they've been trying to sort out these sorts of issues but there's so many dang variables, and trying to build software that interlinks with other complicated software is something no other NLE or Grading program does. That throws even more kinks into the list.

IMovie 11 AVDC import issues

I have a Canopus (now Grass Valley) AVDC 100 that imported perfectly into iMovie 8 & 9, now with a new iMac and 10.8.2 and iMovie 11, it stops after 1 minute. I can see the 1min clip, audio is present but only 1 min at a time? All dip switchs set correctly, cabling correct...?

You will need DVD software either iDVD or a 3rd party app.
Two ways to go.
Approach the Apple store where you bought your iMac and ask them to give you a copy of the iLife 11 disc.
Tell them you need iDVD. Many others have reported that Apple will come to the party.
Otherwise you will need to buy an iLife 11 disc which contains iDVD and install it on your computer.
You can source these discs on eBay, Amazon or Apple stores.
Another way is to buy 3rd party DVD burning software such as Roxio.
Best, Z.

New iPhoto 9.5 (902.7) much slower and import issues

I have a 2007 iMac and ever since I uploaded to Mavericks/iPhoto there's been issues.
While it seems that a number of people have noticed 'slowness' and I like other people had lots of crashing with items like Garageband (Fixed with 10.0.1 update), I conteinue to have problems with iPhoto and subsequently iTunes.
When I attach my iPhone to the USB cable, it properly starts iPhoto and the iPhone shows up as a device, but then it just sits there with the Beach Ball trying to load the pictures.
I've deleted everything on the iPhone and tried again but I continually have problems.
I hooked up my iPad 2 to the same way and it only had one picture on it but it took forever to show up but it did successfully load however, I tried again with some screenshots that I took and it hung as well.
This seems to be connected to iTunes sync as well as even when I have no photos on my iPhone so it doesn't trigger iPhoto loading, the photo sync either takes forever or quite often, just hangs iTunes and stops responding.
iphoto once complained about library problems so I tried all the steps except to completely recreate the database. Still same issues (slow and hanging imports)
This also is happening on my Olympus OM-D EM-1 camera and SD Card reader that I attach so it seems more of a general issue than specific to my iPhone, etc.
Any suggestions? Recreate the entire iPhoto Database?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Connect the iPad or iPhone and try to import some photos to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Video playback and other issues

This might be a 10.6.4 issue or it could be hardware, I'm not sure.
*First Issue:*
Oftentimes, when I try to play video on my Macbook (stats included) the video hangs up and the audio skips like a bad record (remember records? ). This problem is particularly bad when playing videos from the internet but it persists even when the streaming bar is fully loaded in the browser. I took an online masters course this summer and constantly had this skipping issue so I thought it was Adobe and Apple not playing nice since their videos were Flash based. Now, I can see that the problem also occurs when trying to play Quicktime videos. I made an iweb site with a few videos and my Macbook can't seem to play them. However, when I go over to my Mac Mini it has no issues and it has the same processor in it and less RAM.
I know what your thinking; 'check the activity monitor.' I do check the activity monitor, constantly. When this problem occurs I'm never using more than 50% CPU and I usually have at least 1 GB of RAM available although the problem has manifested itself with a much as 2 GB of RAM available and minimal CPU usage.
This issue is starting to get worse and I've had a few kernal panics lately, which may or may not be related.
At the beginning of the summer I reinstalled the system from scratch to see if that would solve the issue; no such luck.
I thought is was the RAM so I tested it with Techtool Deluxe. No problems found with the RAM.
Now, this issue might be related to the second issue but I'll let you decide.
*Second Issue:*
This issue has been around for a long time and I've largely ignored it since all the forums I've been on don't know what to do/can't pin it down.
The issue is that the fan runs constantly at a high RPM no matter what I do.
Again, I check the Activity monitor consistently and I have it set so I can view "All Processes." No 'memory hogs' running.
I also have smsFanControl running and set for 1800 as the min speed.
Furthermore, my wife has the same model computer (only manufactured later) and hers runs whisper quiet while mine sounds like a wind tunnel.
In fact, as I type this I have 1.29 GB of RAM free, 97% of my processor is idle and I'm running at 65C with a fan speed of 6200 RPM.
Any thoughts on either of these two issues would be a help. Thanks

DaddyPaycheck thanks for the info. I am have 7 GB of RAM and my internet access is through cable. I never had this problem before with an older computer with the same internet connection. I am not sure what to do. I recently upgraded to the 30" monitor and a new video card. I purcheased another video card, the ATI Radeon X800XT, but I haven't installed it yet. I am not sure that this will fix my problem. I have all the latest updates for Quicktime and Windows media player. I actually does it when I am playing DVD's as well.

Export and import issue

I would like to copy a materialized view from one database to another with data.
I used datapump .I did the export as follows:
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/10.1.0/db_1
export ORACLE_SID=orcl
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/expdp system/orc8737 tables="PIMS_REPO".\"DW_V_SELECTION_TXN_QSIII\" directory=DATAPUMPST dumpfile=expdp_txn.dmp logfile=expdp_txn.log
expdp_txn.sh (END)
I did the import as follows:
impdp import_user/twoseven27 directory=datapumpst
dumpfile=expdp_txn.dmp logfile=impdp_txn.log
But it got copied as table and not as materialized view. I thought datapump can transform a materialized view to a materialized view.
Can someone tell me what is wrong with the syntax.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
But when I use
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/expdp system/orc8737 directory=DATAPUMPSTEVE dumpfile=expdp_txn.dmp logfile=expdp_txn.log schemas=PIMS_REPO include=DW_V_SELECTION_TXN_QSIII
it gives
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-39041: Metadata filter has no selectivity.

FCP playback and exporting issue

Hi, I'm having an issue in FCP where as I'm playing it, all of a sudden a picture will go really wierd - i.e. the colours will be bright blue and pink, and the picture showing will not actually be the correct image, but one from somewhere else in the timeline.
If I just hide and re-show the subtitles that are above the image, the picture is back to normal.
I thought it would just be a problem in FCP, but it also occurred when I exported using best quality in compressor.
This issue only started occurring when I started making some changes to the subtitles (there are a lot in the film) - but I don't see how that could affect it.
I also thought maybe it could be to do with the fact that I have 6 video tracks (made up of subtitles, captions, etc.)?
If anyone knows anything about why FCP is doing this, and how to stop it, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks

sound like corrupted render files ... try fully deleting your render cache using Tools > Render Manager, then re-render and export

Export and Import issue in Oracle 11g

Hi All,
I have exported data using exp command in oracle 11g by keeping deferred_segment_creation FALSE.
Even then my zero records tables are not coming in export.
What could be the reason or what other thing i have to do to make it work.
Thanks in advance
Mohsin J

Tables that were created before you changed deferred_segment_creation to FALSE and do not have any rows would still be segment-less tables --- i.e. not exported.
You need to issue an "ALTER TABLE tablename MOVE" for each of such tables (after having set deferred_segment_creation to FALSE) to force a rebuild of these tables with segments before the export.
Thus, the sequence is
1. set deferred_segment_creation to FALSE
2. identify all tables with 0 rows
3. issue an ALTER TABLE tablename MOVE for each of such tables from step 2
4. Re-run your export
alternatively use conventional export (exp) instead of datapump export.

Premiere CC 2014 playback and rendering issues

Definitely having problems that I wasn't having just a couple of days ago.
Timeline, 4 minute music video mainly7 all on V1 and then V2 with just a few short shots overlayed using opacity/screen. I use this technique a lot and always worked more than fine in Premiere CC.
So, I made some minor changes today. Select in/out on entire project and hit render in/out.
First thing I notice is the progress bar keeps jumping back and forward; ie - 20.0% then 19.8% then 20.2% and so on (two steps forward one step back).
Then noticed... I hit render and it says rendering 1 of 20 previews... ie 500 frames. Then it gradually changes... 1 of 21 previews 510 frames.. 1 of 22 previews 520 frames etc etc and etcetera... and basically never end... just hangs around 98.8% until I was waiting for over half an hour for something that would usually take seconds in the previous version. I keep having to hit cancel on the render.
Then, I look at the render bar on the timeline.. all is green (zoomed in, no yellow anywhere).. hit play and it pauses for a split second here and there. Completely randomly. Also certain shots just completely freeze.
I didn't have any of these problems in the previous version of CC and at present it's not suitable for client playback. Nowhere near it.
Any updates?
Thanks

I selected the entire project that was completely rendered and hit render and it did 0 of 2 frames 1 video preview.. then 4 frames 2 video previews up to about 50 previews. Eventually looks like it has rendered. Hit play and the video clips its pausing on are now completely green shots. Not had this on PPro or CC before. I have a Quadro 2000 and usually runs perfectly. In fact there is not chance of it being my card. It's definitely to do with the update.

MP3 playback and importing

Hi,
I'm a long time iTunes user with a large (60,000) track collection.
My collection is housed on a shared network drive and is accessed by both my iMac and my Mac Mini.
Up until recently, all tracks displayed and played as expected. However in recent weeks the whole of my collection of one artist (alone) now refuses to play.
I have removed the tracks from the library and tried to re-import .... no joy (the processing file dialog box appears, but when it is finished no music is available)
I have moved the files to the desktop and tried to import again - still doesn't work
I have repaired all of the tags and tried to reimport by both techniques - still doesn't work.
So I'm a bit lost for ideas.
I'm using iTunes v 8.1, OSX 10.5.11 on the iMac and 10.4.11 on the mac mini.
I feel that the breakdown has happened since the most recent upgrade but cannot find any reason for it. I have successfully imported new music into the collection from other artists since the upgrade, and they work well.
Can anyone help please ?
Thanks
Geoff

Thought I would update the question ....
Having given up trying to make iTunes recognise the files, I switched to one of the windows machines on the network - same problem there.
It seems by some strange quirk that the first two folders in the directory have become corrupted and the files won't play. Once deleted and re-ripped onto the hard disk, everything has gone smoothly again. iTunes recognises them and plays them without a problem.
Now I need to work out how the files got damaged. iTunes has crashed on a couple of occasions, but I guess that as it works with its own library file, it is unlikely to have damaged the files.
Thanks for reading
