Imovie resetting photo duration after restart

ok, so I have several movie projects in imovie 08 without big issues, however, this time instead of using videos I used photos to create a video slideshow. I set the duration for the photos by clicking on the little "clock" button on the bottom of the picture and then checking the "apply for all photos", which did nothing to set the duration for every picture. I ended up setting the duration for the pictures on each one manually but when I reopen the program to work on the project later on it has already reset the duration of the pictures to random times. I also tried adjusting the duration by using the "project properties", but here is the same problem, it seems to reset itself to whatever it feels like...any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

yes please...have exactly the same question...anyone?

  • Photos blurry after restart?

    I just bought my iPad and all of the photos are blurry after restart, including the ones I downloaded and took myself.
    Also when I tap Edit, it returns to home screen.
    Can anyone help?

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • IMovie 10.0.2 The iMovie unexpectedly quit and after restarting it projects were disappeared

    iMovie 10.0.2 unexpectedly quit and after restarting it  2 (out of 3) projects were disappeared. However I can see "All Projects - 1 of 3selected". I am quite disapointed!!!

    No, I did not.
    Meanwhile I have found the reason for the projects disappear in my libraries! The problem is caused by using the dash "#" symbol in my project names.
    I have created another project with a dash in the name and the project also disappeared in iMovie with the same effect that the underlying data was still in die library.
    Apple should release a warning that some special characters are not allowed to be used in project names or better should solve this.
    Thanks for your help!

  • IMovie 11  adjusting photo duration - won't change, various times showing!

    H E L P!!!! I have just installed Imovie 11. I am in the finishing stages of a project which HAS TO BE COMPLETED in the next 2 days. I am having grief adjusting the duration for my still photos. I click on the COG - Clip adjustments - change the timing to 08:00 and tick the APPLIES TO ALL STILLS box. The clip won't change and some of them show 12s, some 10s ect. HOW DO I CHANGE THIS?? WHY IS IT SUCH A DRAMA??? I WANT MY STILLS to show for eight seconds only. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME???? THANK YOU

    Many people have posted on this issue, including myself. I've spent a lot of hours on problem, and have come up with a solution that allows me to vary both the image duration and the transition duration in my movies.
    Here's my process that I have posted before and that I still use:
    -> Knowing that (a) I want most of the photos to be visible for 5 seconds and most transitions for 2 seconds and (b) that a transition takes half from the photo before and half from the photo after, under File>Project Properties>Photo Duration I chose 7 seconds - each photo will 'lose' a total of 2 seconds from the transitions in front and behind. I did not check either "Applies to all transitions." or "Applies to all photos." - See below for why.
    -> I discovered that all the photos have to go in before I add any transitions. This was new to me. With all previous versions of iMovie I simply added a photo then a transition then another photo one at a time. I had to fiddle with the timing adjustments, but at least I could fiddle. With this new version of iMovie I can't. Once the transition is in place, I cannot change the duration of the photo.
    -> Sometimes, I want a longer or shorter duration for a photo. For example, on photos to which I apply the Ken Burns effect, I often want the image on the screen for a slightly longer time. In this case, I have to use the inspector to change the duration before I add the transitions. So I might set the time for 8 seconds; when a two second transition is added before and after, the time for this photo becomes 6 seconds, which is what I want.
    -> The same applies if I want a transition to be shorter or longer than 2 seconds. If, for example, I want the duration for a transition to be 1 second, then I have to change the duration on the two linked photos to 5 1/2 seconds.
    Right now, I working with batches of 5 or 6 photos at a time. I don't put a transition on the last photo in the batch until I have added the next group of photos. And things get really tricky if I don't like my original design. If I want to change anything, I have to take out all of the transitions linking the photos I want to work on, do the math, make the changes in the photo durations, then put the transitions back.
    All of this requires much more prior planning than I am used to with iMovie. I hope it helps those of you who are struggling with this problem.

  • MBP Retina Desktop Wallpaper resets after restart

    Earlier this week I got my new MBP 15" Retina, and completed a clean installation of applications from my old MBP.
    This morning I had to install and update and for the first time had to restart the computer.  After restarting the origional wallpaper shows on login.
    After login and going into Desktop & Screen Saver Settings it shows the proper desktop image.
    Steps Completed:
    1) Problem only occurs on Restart or Shut Down.  A Log Off will maintain the correct wallpaper.
    2) Tried changing to Standard Desktop Picture or an iPhoto gallery photo.
    3) Unlocked '/Users/scottdavis/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist' made wallpaper change (it changes date modified).  Restart.  Did not resolve.
    4) Tested the same process on MBP 17" Early 2008, works correctly.
    5) Running OSX 10.8.2 - completed MBP Update 2.0 (is where I had to restart)

    Hi all,
    I have had this same issue with OS X Lion and it continued on to OS X Mountain Lion as well. I have had the wallpaper switching on me to the default solid blue color whenever I restarted (every month or so) and when switching between users (every other day or so). So this issue was very frustrating having to go back in and reset the wallpaper to my preference whenever I switched to either user. I found a solution that has been working for me for several restarts and several switching of users now:
    First, I took some of your advice by locating all of my wallpapers into a 'Wallpaper' folder located in each user's 'Documents' directory. I copied to same wallpapers to each user so both user's have the same wallpapers to choose from.
    Then, I installed the latest stable version of 'OnyX' (freeware software). I used OnyX on both user accounts to run through practically all the settings to clean up the entire Mac (Mac Mini, mid 2011) including: Verify [S.M.A.R.T. Status, Structure of volume, and Preferences], Maintenance [Permissions], Cleaning [System cache, User cache, Internet cache, Fonts cache, Log cache, Misc. cache]. I generally left the default checked boxes alone and didn't change any settings and Executed the program to run as default.
    After running OnyX, I re-set my wallpapers for each user and went ahead and tested the restarting of the computer and switching back and forth between users. It was very easy to duplicate the bug previously, but now I could not get the wallpaper to switch back to the default blue as before. Everything seems stable with my wallpaper selection now.
    Hope this helps someone. Thanks everyone for your input too.
    As a side note, my Mac is running much smoother and quicker now too.  =)

  • Mac OSX 10.7.4 mouse scroll resets to lion default after restart or shutdown

    I use a Logitech M570 with my late 2009 Mac Mini and like to have my scroll set to the way scrolling should work with a scroll wheel and how it has work for year before Apple decided it was wrong. Well after I updated to 10.7.4 my mac now wants to reset the scroll to the new way Lion does it after every shutdown or restart and its starting to get really annoying. Does anyone know a way to fix this or a way I can bring this to Apple's attention so they can fix it.

    Repairing the permissions of a home folder in Lion is a complicated procedure. I don’t know of a simpler one that always works.
    Back up all data now. Before proceeding, you must be sure you can restore your system to its present state
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    chmod -R -N ~
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. When a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) appears below what you entered, it’s done. You may see a few error messages about an “invalid argument” while the command is running. You can ignore those. If you get an error message with the words “Permission denied,” enter this:
    sudo !!
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
    Next, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the Recovery screen appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens. You’re not going to reset the password.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

  • Photo duration in IMovie '08

    I am doing a project that requires photo duration of longer than 60 seconds in some of the "photos". (Actually, Powerpoint slides converted to png.) I am doing narration and loops in GB with some of the regions longer than 60 secs., exporting to ITunes and then to IMovie. My audio is longer than my video. Is there are method of extending beyond 60 secs.?
    Thank you.

    Karstens,
    Got correct file and moved to trash. It was in my Home/library. You were right as IMovie durations are now unfrozen. Also, I upgraded from ILife '08 to '09 as it allows me to set slide durations up to 10 minutes. Duplicating and multiple copies of a slide were not realistic for me, as some may be several minutes long.
    Thank you again for your help.

  • Why does photo pane in imovie reset?

    Just updated iphoto and imovie. When I started moving photos from the photo pane, I discovered everytime I delete a photo from the timeline that it would reset the photo pane to photo #1. Very irritating if you happen to be working with photo #1985. It this normal? What can I do to stop it?

    Yes, that sounds normal. When you delete a clip in the timeline iMovie, iMovie selects the first clip in the photos pane. (Note that when a timeline image is selected, NO photo is selected in the photos pane, so iMovie has to select something.)
    There is no relationship between a deleted timeline clip and any particular photo in the photos pane. So iMovie defaults to selecting the first available photo.
    If the scrolling of the photos pane is a nuisance, consider importing your photos directly from iPhoto to iMovie. Drag them from the iPhoto window directly to the timeline. Then that will not effect iMovie's photo pane selection.
    I find that method preferred anyway, in many respects. You can view many more photos in iPhoto, for example.

  • Why do my sound output settings keep resetting after restart?

    Just bought a MBPro with OS 10.6.4.
    After restarting my sound output settings keep resetting to Soundflower (2ch) from Internal speakers.
    It doesn't take too much to change it, but it is pretty annoying and I'm assuming there's some obscure setting that can fix this.
    Anyone able to help?

    This fixed it on my Mac Pro. It might work on a MacBook Pro.
    Delete these three files:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.soundpref.plist
    /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist
    /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist
    Reselect whatever sound device you want as your default in the Sound Preference Pane.
    Restart the computer.

  • Forte 30N2 : Message duration SO restart after a crash issue

    In our application, the batch processes are based on a 'Controller-Processor' pattern. A controller starts many processor tasks as parallel processes.
    The problem is that our Controller process crashed. However, by that time, many processor processes had already been started by it. These processor tasks were not terminated when the controller crashed.
    Since the controller process is of Message Duration, it 'restarted' automatically after the crash. With this new start, all the processor tasks were started again and therefore were executed twice.
    Now we are looking for a way to terminate the processors automatically if the controller crashes. Is there a way to do this in Forte or do we have to code this explicitly ?
    If not, we can stop start of a processor if it is already executing. But then, how do we get a notification of completion of a previous execution ?
    Any ideas will be appreciated.
    Please let me know if the problem description is not clear.
    Thanks and regards.
    Deepak

    "Since the controller process is of Message Duration, it 'restarted' automatically after the crash" --NO,  the controller was re-started automatically because Forte allways tries to re-execute the method of a SO marked to have Dialog Duration=Message. Apart of that, the SO will be re-started ONLY if the Forte Autostart feature has been enbled in your Forte Environment, otherwise it won't re-start.
    Your problem is more an architectural issue than a Forte one. The children tasks can not notify their parent about a problem (ussually by reporting an exception event) because they were started in a different partition and Forte have partition boundaries when handling the multi-threading for tasks executed in cascade. (Task1-->Task2-->Task3).
    Even if your children tasks can report an exception event to the parent SO, there is still a timming issue: While re-starting the controller a children task can report an exception event, but it wont be listened since the controller is still re-starting.
    Hope this helps..

  • Targets reset after restart of wlserver 6.1

    Hi,
    after restarting WLServer6.1 under Win2000, all targets (Connection Pool, TX DataSource)
    are reset. After several manual attemps in console to assign target, the config.xml
    element
    <target> contains many entries (like <target>localhost,localhost,localhost</target>
    Any idea??
    Tnx in advance

    Hi AEEA-Family,
    I also did the update this morning and had the same problem also on Vodacom. The whole morning after the update I have No Signal, turning the phone on and of gives you signal for a couple of minutes then it drops again to no signal.
    I've just made the following changes on my Phone and all seems ok again.
    Here are the steps I took to resolve it on my phone.
    1. Go to "Settings" > "Carrier" > Turn off "Automatic", wait for list of Carriers and select "Vodacom-SA"
    2. Go to "Settings" > "General" > "Cellular" > Turn off "Enable LTE"
    3. Go to "Settings" > "General" > "Cellular" > "Cellular Data Networks". Then Change EVERY APN from lte.vodacom.za to internet
    After I made all those changes I did a hard restart of the phone and now all seems fine.
    I suspect the update this morning Enabled all Vodacom's LTE settings, yet Vodacom is not 100% LTE yet in our areas and this is causing the problem.
    Hope this helps other people.
