IMovie stops rendering photos in slideshow

I was making a slideshow in iMovie when it stopped rendering all of a sudden. There are about 350 rendering tasks left and no response. I can que up more edits but it won't move the red bars at all. Can someone tell me how to fix this?

Sounds like a fairly good sized project. Have you checked to make sure that you have sufficient free disk space on your start up disk for iMovie to operate? Should have at least 10GB, and more is better.

IPhoto photos into iMovie - once rendered, photo turns black

I posted under another thread, but decided this might be better posted to the larger group.
I was working off of an external harddrive when the problem first manifested itself. Dragging a photo from the media pane into the time clip, I saw that the photo turned black and would not display after being rendered.
I moved the drive to another Mac, also an iMac G4 but with a faster processor, and a slightly different experience occurred. Upon starting up the project, when I clicked yes to view the trash, the photos I had been trying to use were no in the trast.
I put a few back and tried to apply the effects, but then the photo turned black. then I grabbed a photo from iPhoto again. The photo would show up but the Ken Burns effect would not stick. If it did stick, the photo turned black and wouldn't display. I saved and quit.
Took my external harddrive to my Powerbook. Had better luck grabbing photos from iPhoto, but no Ken Burns effects worked.
Now I'm back on my original iMac. This time I copied the project to the iMac's harddrive. Now there is another experience - a little closer to what I want but still not what I'm used to:
I added the photo to the timeline, it rendered itself to black again. Much frustrated sighing.
However, I had added some music to the timeline in the interim periods and just decided to view what I had. Lo and behold the black photo displayed with the Ken Burns effect. I added a couple more photos and they began to behave as they always have. You can see the photo in the time line. The black one is still black.
All this is quite unsettling. I plan on doing a project with 60 students in October and need to know if anyone thinks this is a bug or what? Thanks for any insight.

I am having the same problem images turning black when brought into the timeline Started when bringing in Photos from APERTURE 1.5. Thought this program was the problem so, I imported the same images into iPhoto. The problem does seem to "fix" when transitions are added , but this makes it difficult to edit and rearrange images. The hard drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (journaled). Shooting a Nikon D-70; D-200. Images a 2 - 5MG. Most confusing it is not consistent happens to some images and not others. Same problem happened when images were imported to iMovie.
ANY SUGGESTIONS MOST APPRECIATED, TRYING TO COMPLETE A BIG PROJECT THIS WEEK.
THANK YOU

Please Help! iMovie stopped rendering clips!!

I am halfway finished with a movie and suddenly for no apparent reason clips that I import are not rendering. I have tried many different clips, but every time the bar appears and never moves at all. I have imported many pictures into this movie which worked fine, but now every picture I import will not render; I have tried deleting the preferences file and using repair with the disk utility but nothing helped. Please help! I am trying to do a movie for my wedding which is in a couple days!!
Thanks!!

I called tech support and after trying a million things (including what you suggested about importing from iphoto) nothing worked, so finally we uninstalled and reinstalled imovie and installed all of the current updates for it and now it's working again. So I'm guessing that just proves that it must be some sort of error in the program, I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again until I finish this movie! Thanks so much for your help!

Why does iMovie stop working after a set number of photos?

I have struggled through 3 Photo Storys so far using iMovie, only to be thrwated by the same problem every time! There are hundreds of photos to add, to give you an idea I'm at 11 minutes 44 seconds with 1 second transitions and 4 second photos.
At the same point each time the iMovie project allows photos to be dropped in but are represented by black thumbnails. On playing the movie they are then replaced with previous photos, looped several times. It seems that Apple have put in a maximum limit of photos?
Answers to questions I'm preguessing:
1:     I use iMovie for this because I can use transitions, text etc which is far better than the slideshows that iPhoto create.
2:     The images are no imported in to iPhoto as they are school pictures. Therefore they are stored locally and dragged in to place when needed.
3:     I use Mac OS X Lion and the latest available version of iLife '11.
4:     320gb of free space!
5:     No music in the movie but that doesn't seem to make a difference (First two had sound, third did not).
6:     All images used are JPEG, no CR2 etc...
7:     No files are stored on the network and are only linked locally.

I'm having this problem as well. In my case I'm getting partial 0 byte files, sometimes with temporary hex file names with the .mp4 extension.
I copied the whole library (which was new and only contained one project) over to my laptop, where export then went just fine. I've also been having other QuickTime related issues. You can help pin this down with a few tests:
Open a short .mov video (best taken on iPhone, import with Image Capture) in QuickTime X. Attempt to export to 480p. Does QT crash?
Try to import the same .mov video in iPhoto 9.5.x. Does it import normally to iPhoto? Or do you get "unrecognized format" errors?
Do you see any crash logs for ProTranscoderTool_sb in Console?
If you search for iMovie in console, do you find any lines that mention problems with these files?:
/Library/CoreMediaIO/Plug-Ins/FCP-DAL/iOSScreenCapture.plugin/Contents/MacOS/iOS ScreenCapture
"The bundle “iLMBPhotosPlugin” couldn’t be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources."
/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/Plug-Ins/iLMBPhotosPlugin.ilmbplugin/Contents/MacOS/i LMBPhotosPlugin
I also wonder if there's any conflict/issue with FCP being installed. Not very helpful but see this link:

Lightroom suddenly stopped rendering previews

I've been using Lightroom since v1 and have been using v3 since it was released. All of a sudden tonight, while working on photos that were already in my catalog, Lightroom has stopped rendering previews and is much slower to operate.
I've optimised my catalog, I've tried purging my cache, I've rebooted etc. Nothing I've done is helping, if I zoom in in Library view I just see a blury outline that is the existing thumbnail. Some of my other images don't even have thumbnails anymore. If I go to Develop view it behaves normally, it's just Library view that seems broken.

I'd purged the CameraRaw cache, but after no success I ended up deleting my entire "Lightroom 3 Catalog Previews.lrdata" directory (which freed up 30GB of space and took over 10 minutes at the command line).
Fingers crossed it seems to have resolved my issue... certainly on relaunching Lightroom it's now recreated this folder, hammered my CPU and successfully created new thumbnails for the folder I was viewing in Lightroom. It's a little concerning just how much it hammered my CPU (100% for about 5 minutes, still sitting at 75% now after nearly 10 minutes) when I was only looking at a folder with 23 images in it... it was also hammering my Lightroom/System disk for the first 5 minutes, but not the disk with my photos on it.
Oh well, will see if it happens again and I might start to manually delete the previews folder semi-regularly.

GOING TO KILL MYSELF!CLIPS STOP RENDERING! HELP!

I am ready to jump off a tall builing! I created a movie, spend hours editing clips, then all of a sudden the clips stopped rendering. I gave it a whole day to try and complete, b/c I was terrified of closing the progam and losing everything. Well, it's like it just froze. The little red line stopped moving. So I ended up losing the entire movie. I tried to get it out of the trash, but the strangest things is that all of the clips were reduced to 00.00.01 secs. In other words, completely invisisble. I couldn't stretch them back to their original size of about 1.2 secs. So I decided to start the whold **** movie from scratch again. I HAVE TO FINISH THIS PROJECT! So I go to import all of my clips (still and movie), and sure enough, about half render, but the rest are stuck. The red bar stopped half-way in the middle of one picture. WHAT IS GOING ON? PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE! THIS IS RUINING MY LIFE!!!

Hi John -
"...When you are in the middle of a project, never use Software Update...."
That is sound advice, especially regarding iMovie itself. Not that it does create problems, but rather that it might.
The original poster does not say whether or not recent updates have been installed, or even if they have, whether the project pre-dated that installation.
And the wording of your comment suggested that it was necessary to return to earlier versions not only of QT but also of iMovie and the OS!
I too have noted that some seem to have had problems after the latest QT update, indeed I initiated a topic to check out the extent of this. Most people who responded had no problems at all, so I up-dated my laptop version. It is running flawlessly, and yes, KB imports perfectly.
My initial response to you was simply to point out that it was rather too dogmatic to state that the update was definitely the cause of the problem.
By the way, just how many is 'countless'?:-)

Photo Streaming stopped at photo 523

Hi guys,
I just purchased an AppleTV and apparently everything's working just fine, except for photo streaming. I updated to the latest AppleTV software and I was very happy to see my streaming photos on iCloud appearing on my flatscreen. But then after a while the photos stopped loading. Aren't there supposed to be 1000 of your latest uploaded iPhotos? Mine stopped at photo number 523. Is there a way to "force" the device to continue loading the rest of the pictures?
Thanks a lot in advance

Odd. I don't actually use Photostream as I wouldn't want my content being automatically available on AppleTV as my recent photos may contain a mixture of family/personal/business content I wouldn't want aired to anyone.
Does AppleTV present all photos as options to view in a grid/slideshow to you - it does have finite memory which can be allocated to Photostream - I don't know if Photostream uploads full res versions or lower quality lower res like MobileMe galleries tends to, but if you have large original files it might be too much for the unit. More likely it's a glitch or software bug.
Sorry I can't give a concrete answer.

Can't stop rendering

I have iMovie HD-6. No problem with transitions previously, but this time they would not work properly and after 5 tries at different scenes, I kept deleting them with no apparent problem. However, when I went to share, a dialoge box appeared and said there was rendering even after the deletion . I can't get it to stop rendering. Any thoughts? Thanks

Hi Gerald - no specific fix, but are you using an external drive for this project? If so it must be formatted for Macs - Mac Os Extended.
Have you tried closing then re-opening the project?
Also, after quitting iMovie, delete this file:
Users(you)>Library>Preferences>com.apple.imovie.plist

Dreamweaver stops rendering CSS

Fairly frequently as I am editing pages in a Dreamweaver
document the program stops rendering using my css stylesheet. If I
preview (F12) in Firefox the page renders fine. If I save the file
then close and reload Dreamweaver and reload the page I was working
on everything works fine again.
Has anyone see this and eliminated the problem?
Dreamweaver CS3 WinXP Pro 2GB Ram

When you see it stop rendering, check VIEW | Style Rendering,
and make sure
it's enabled.
That said, I have never seen a post from someone with these
symptoms
occurring intermittantly as you describe.

I can't send photos from camera roll iphone4 to a email address. It just stopped sending photos.

It's only difficult if you get all emotional over tiny things and don't stop to look for answers first. I find Macs very simple to use.

Hi, iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos. Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos

Hi,
iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.
Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos on my iPhone, iTunes won't sync ANY photos from iPhoto back to my iPhone. I've restarted my phone, computer, etc., force quit all photo-related apps on my iPhone, and tried various combinations of turning iTunes' photo syncing on/off, switching photo sync folders, etc., all to no avail -- I can't get my iPhoto library back on to my iPhone no matter what I do.
Anyone encounter a similar situation? (I've already sent feedback to Apple.) Thanks in advance.

Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

Iphoto stopped importing photos from iphone 6.

All of a sudden, iPhoto 9.2.3 stopped importing photos from my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.1.2). It says "All photos have already been imported" which they have not. I still have photos in Camera Roll which iPhoto did not import. At the same time, I started receiving this message which I plug my iPhone into the computer, "This accessory may not be supported." Can anyone recommend how to return the iPhone and iPhoto to normal? Sending photos via email to the computer wastes time.

ATV doesn't show all photos in slideshow

My ATV3 doesn't show all my photos in slideshow. It seems to repeat the same, say 50, over and over, even though I have about 400 in the folder on my windows7 PC.
Whats the fix?
Thanks
Andy

For the avoidance of doubt are you talking about the screensaver or the slideshows.
Slideshows should show all your photos, but screensavers will not. Screensavers need to save the photos to the Apple TVs flash storage, the Apple TV doesn't have a lot of this and so limits the number of photos it uses.

My iphone 5 stopped syncing photos to FB. I've tried all the set up directions but none work.

Iphone stopped syncing photos with Face Book. I've tried all the set up directions but none work, or don't follow what is said they will follow (no directions pop up when I select syned from iphone in pictures)

Thanks! I called Apple, and we did a software update. While the phone now will light up and work for about 30 seconds before going dark again, the representative said I would probably get a replacement phone if I took it in. You are right - probably a hardware failure!

OTF/PS fonts have recently stopped rendering in Flash Pro CS3 on Windows 7/64

Recently, a number of my OTF/PS fonts have stopped rendering when used in Flash Pro CS3. The fonts appear in the fonts menu, render properly in the font preview popup in the font menu, but the fonts fail to render on stage when used, with certain exceptions:
--If Bitmap Text is selected, the fonts appear (but aliased)
--If Anti-alias for animation is selected, then the text appears when text insertion is active in the text box, but vanishes when focus shifts to another element, tool, selection
In all other cases and for all other settings (yes, including black text with 100% alpha on a white background, etc etc), the text shows solely as transparent. You can select the text (although not see what you're selecting), cut and paste, and as you change the font size, kerning, justification, bold, italic, etc, the text boxes resize as normally expected; simply, the text does not show up.
The fonts work normally in all other CS3 and Windows applications, and up until about last week (Dec 12 or so), used to work fine in Flash.
The problem fonts appear to be (primarily Open Type Format) Post Script Outline fonts.
I have installed all Windows updates, Flash Pro CS3 updates, deleted the Flash user config files, deleted and reinstalled the fonts, and copied the fonts to the C:/user/Program Files/Common/Adobe/Fonts folder.
There were no new installations (applications, fonts, etc) around the time when the error started showing up, aside from possibly Windows updates.
Given the timing (worked fine Tuesday, failed on Wednesday), I believe a Windows update may have been at least partially responsible, though perhaps it's the Mayan apocalypse.
