IMovie themes not rendering

I have a brand new iMac Core2Dou, with data transfered via Migration Assistant. When Im using the iMovie themes and hit apply it doesnt do anything and the black line dont fill with red. My previous CoreDuo iMac worked fine. Any help for me?

Hi L
This is out of my experience but You have done the most obvious I hope.
- delete the iMovie pref file
- run: Repair permissions (Apple Disk Util tool)
- start from another hard disk or CD/DVD then
    run: Repair hard disk (Apple Disk Util tool)
- start a new account and log into this and re-try.
Try one at a time and see if it works.
Q:
- How much free space is there on Your int hard disk
- Is there any ext devices connected
- Mac OS X.4.8, iMovie v. 6.0.3 ? and QuickTime version (7.1.3) ?
- Did You put in any third party plug-ins to iMovie or into QT ?
- is you Mac as "factory delivered"?
- or did you install a new iLife version?
- or did you de-install any files/apps, e.g. using "Multilingual" etc. pp
            (from Karsten)
- other programs that interferes like :
< Unsanity APE >
< FileVault > etc.
Sequre that there are at least 20Gb free space on the internal hard disk.

  • Themes not rendering

    Hi.
    I just tried iMovie 6's themes, and none of them seems to render.
    Preview is fine, but when applying (=validating) the themed clip, it just does not work :
    - the clip in the timeline appears with the "original" photos attached to the theme, not the one I added from the iPhoto library
    - there is no rendering at all happening of the themed clip
    - when previewing frames from the themed clip, frames appear black.
    I checked these forums fro answers and could not make it work.
    Here are a few things I checked/ tried:
    - movie projects are stored in my home folder in the internal, journaled-HFS+ formatted startup drive
    - I removed all Quicktime plug-ins (checked both user and computer folders), including flip4mac, divx, perian, as well a the A52 audio component; I just had to re-add some in order to iMovie to start properly (AppleHDVCodec.component, AppleIntermediateCodec.component and DesktopVideoOut.component)
    - I reinstalled iMovie from the MBP's install DVDs and re-ran the 6.0.3 updater.
    This behaviour happens on my MacBook Pro and my Mac Mini Core Duo.
    On the MBP, I had FCP (Universal binary) installed, but removed some of its assets and apps because my HD was full.
    iMovie 6 (and themes) works very well on my girlfriend's brand new black MacBook, although I also installed Flip4Mac, perian and A52 codec).
    I had never uses themes before and am just very disappointed, not being able to use them, now that I've discovered them (they're great for making movies out of photos).
    Of course, in a few weeks, iMovie 7 will problaby be out and I'll buy it.
    But I'd really like to solve (as well as understand) this problem with iMovie 6 first.
    Thanks in advance,
    Jérôme.

    In response to Sue's post,
    Quicktime and QuickTime Player versions are 7.1.3.
    I know I miss the latest Final Cut Studio updates (haven't used it recently) but I thought that would not change a thing if I disable QuickTime plug-ins anyway.
    My serial number is at home and necessary to download the latest Final Cut updates.
    If you think that could be important, I will do it tonight.
    Here is what happens with themes in iMovie.
    - I create a new movie (HDV 720p) in my Movies folder
    - I choose the travel theme and the Lower Third template. The template loads and previews in the main window
    - I drag a photo from the media/Photos/iPhoto panel to the drop zone ; the template now previews in the main window with the photo I chose (which seems like normal behaviour)
    -When I click the checkbox in the preview window on the far right, a new clip is added to the timeline (which again seems normal)
    However, the clip is not normal :
    - its thumbnail in the timeline is strictly identical to the theme/template thumbnail : the photo I chose does and dragged to the drop zone does not appear
    - I cannot play the clip, and the play button is dimmed
    - Any frame of the clip I preview, by dragging the playhead, is black (no theme, no photo)
    - The clip appears as unrendered, with a red line under it. That line never moves.
    - When I try to save, I get a warning about a "rendering in progress". that is after 1 hour, a 5 seconds theme/template, and a standard 5 Megapixels JPEG photo
    - If I "stop rendering", save the project, close it then reopen it, the clip is gone.
    That happens also with a 400*400 JPEG photo.
    Hope that is clearer for you Karl.
    If necessary, I can post screen captures of this -iPhoto and iWeb still work
    Thanks in advance,
    Jerome.

  • Themes not rendered right

    Hi everyone,
    I love the Themes but they don't work right on my iBook G4. Could not find an entry in this forum that suits my problem, so I am posting this one here. I fiddled around with Reflection (both black and white):
    * Chose a theme
    * Chose a theme element
    * Dropped pictures onto the dropzones (tried both .psd and .jpegs)
    to no avail. The reflections are not rendered right:
    * As the mirror images I get black boxes with no gradial fade out
    * I get faint and intermittent 'patches' of whatever graphics are on the screen appearing in random locations ("tearing"). Looks somewhat like the iMac Core Duo FrontRow problem.
    I tested on an iBook G4.

    Thanks for re-posting, Marc.
    This issue has to do with a shortage of video memory that occurs when
    you are using a second display on the iBook in spanning mode.
    I'm beginning to suspect a shortage of video memory may be a factor in other iMovie image issues. By a shortage I mean that iMovie may be trying to use more memory than there actually is. But I'm not expert enough to know.

  • Mapviewer themes not rendering in correct order

    I have a map request that consists of three themes in this order:
    1) wms_getmap_request grayscale evelation map
    2) jdbc_query datalayer
    3) wms_getmap_request state borders map
    I assume that each of these layers would render in the order it is defined, so grayscale would be the base, followed by the datalayer, topped by the borders.
    this is not the case. the wms_getmap_request layers are rendered first and the datalayer is placed over the top of them.
    here is an example request:

    Hi Forum,
    I have a similar problem but not quite the same one. I am creating Oracle Maps application with a georaster surface at the top (with certain level of transparency) along with a road network below it. But, probably due to this default MapViewer rendering, the road network is being rendered at the top of the Georaster surface even when I make the Georaster completely opaque.
    I have created the map in MapBuilder and generated the tiles using MapViewer. While previewing the map in MapBuilder as well as looking at the generated tiles, I am facing the above problem. Can you please tell me whether I can set keepthemesorder="true" somewhere so that while generating the tiles I don't come across this problem.
    Thanks a lot.

  • [SOLVED] GTK3 Themes Not Rendering Correctly in OpenBox

    So, I've been trying to find a way to fix this issue for a while now. In OpenBox, GTK3 applications do not display correctly when using a theme based on Adwaita. An example theme would be Elegant Brit. Menus tend to shift a pixel over when highlighted. Buttons display as all white, or as buttons from a different theme. Dunno what causes this, but it's rather annoying. I have the "gnome-standard-themes" packages installed, but this resolves nothing. When starting a GTK3 application, these types of errors are shown.
    (transmission-gtk:1274): Gtk-CRITICAL **: _gtk_css_section_to_string: assertion `section != NULL' failed
    ** (transmission-gtk:1274): WARNING **: Can't load fallback CSS resource: (null)Failed to import: The resource at '/org/gnome/adwaita/gtk-fallback.css' does not exist
    Here's an screnshot depicting what I'm talking about. http://i.imgur.com/ZkLiZ.png
    I apologize if there's a solution to this somewhere already posted. I've been through the Wiki trying to find the solution, but I've really found nothing useful. Also, I already have "gtk-engines" and "lib32-gtk-engines" installed.

    This great discussion about GTK3 and GNOME3 development explains an awful lot. It seems we are heading for one GTK3 theme only - THE theme - as dictated by determined developers attached to certain companies who will be nameless! I almost started tinkering with tweaks to GTK3 themes and I'm now so glad I didn't waste my time.

  • Webgui theme not rendering toolbar, does not look like SAPgui for Win

    Hello all,
    I just installed the ITS 6.20 Patch 20 and when I started the webgui service, the theme that was genereatd does not look like the SAPgui for Windows at all.
    All I've got is a gray and blue color theme.  The top row is the "SAP Easy Access" header and on the next row are just simple square buttons (Menu, Tools, User Menu, SAP Menu, etc.).
    What do I have to do to enable the "richer" look-and-feel like the SAPgui for Windows 6.20?  I'm looking to get the toolbar with the paging icons, disk icon, goback, etc.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Oliver,
    You have to disable the Enjoy SAP option.
    1. Log in to the Admin service;
    2. Open the Configuration | General settings for the ITS instance;
    3. Remove the checkmark for the "Enjoy Design" option.
    4. Save and restart.
    Does this help?

  • Iphone 4 - iMovie - Themes not loading

    Hi, just installed iMovie and none of the theme backgrounds show up beneath the videos, i can add/edit the titles and these appear but still no backgrounds show up, the video is centered in the viewer with just black to the left and right - I've also exported the videos and they are the same - no backgrounds. I've also tried re-installing the app but without any luck..
    any thoughts guys?
    Cheers

    The themes only come into play when you add a Title to a video clip or select a Theme Transition.

  • New jquery mobile theme not rendering properly

    So I'm finalizing some things on a mobile website that is looking great! m.whitewatertours.com...but we wanted to make a few changes to the theming and used ThemeRoller from jQuery to do so. But after downloading my new theme and applying it to a test page our fabulous looking site now looks like something a 5 yr old created!
    I replaced the original <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.2.0/jquery.mobile-1.2.0.min.css" /> code in the Head tag with the new ones mentioned below their respective pages...(generated with the "add new css" button from DW6)
    Here's the orginal page looking great: http://m.whitewatertours.com/rafting-hot-deals.html
    than the test page with ThemeRoller Theme: http://m.whitewatertours.com/rafting-hot-deals-css-test.html
    new code = <link href="jquery-mobile/twt-mobile-theme.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    Than I tested with a theme created from Fireworks CS6, still looking terrible...
    test page with FWCS6 theme: http://m.whitewatertours.com/rafting-hot-deals-css-test-fw.html
    I feel like I must've have done something wrong ... but have triple checked everything I can think of!
    Jenny

    Thanks Sudarshan!
    So that did solve part of the problem at first, but was overriding my custom css.
    Found there was an extra </script> in the head tag that was screwing up things...
    So the css. from Fireworks works!
    The css from jQuery ThemeRoller did take a little extra tweaking, did get 2 codes from them one from the file download "index":
    the first code worked with the .min extension so thats what im using
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/twt-mobile-theme.min.css" />
    and another from the download screen:
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/themes/my-custom-theme.css" />
    the first code worked with the .min extension so thats what im using
    I also ended up creating the "themes" folder within my jquery-mobile folder with all their stuff in there.
    Thanks for the help again and getting me pointed in the right direction!!

    Are you actually seeing a noticeable difference in the fonts after conversion? While there are some difference between those fonts, they are very subtle differences and in all likelihood will not really change the look of the document.

    Hi
    iMovie versions prior to 08:
    • Here You can add third party plug-ins. Rather often one or more starts to ill behave
    • Bring them out to the desk-top then re-introduce one at a time to figure out which one
    that's harmful
    Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:
    • Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
    • Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
    • Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
    • Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
    • Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
    • Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    • Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
    iMovie pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
    and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.

  • Transitions are not rendering.  Help?

    I have used iMovie many times, but for some reason my transitions are not rendering now. I place them in and they do not render. I am also having a hard time gettin transition in because after I do one then it shows up as an error and asks me to close the program.
    Any ideas?

    I had a similar thing recently.
    For me the issue was that I'd put text on the clip it was transitioning too - as it can't render both the transition and the text it ignores the transition (it shows it's doing this by greying it out in the project browser).
    To get round it just drag the text a couple of seconds into the clip - essentially remove the overlap.

  • Slideshow transitions not rendering

    On a disk with 5 slideshows, the transitions were not rendered for the latter part of a single slideshow. Those transitions were "green screen."
    Hard drive has over 25 GB free.
    Everything else seems fine.

    There has been a problem in slideshows with more that 99 images. Slides in a slideshow are treated as chapters, and a sloideshow s a track. Tracks are limited to 99 chapters and until iDVD 6, all iDVD slideshows were limited to 99 slides. Apple crated somethong of a 'hack' in iDVD 6 that makes it possible to link together several tracks creating a slideshow of more than 99 images. The problem is, not all DVD playrers like the hack and fail/refuse/have problems in trying to play long slideshows.
    As far as the image quality,DVD are low resolution devices. NTSC DVDs are less than 0.3 megapixels. See Preparing images for DVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/6.0/en/17.html for suggested images sizes to be used in iDVD slideshows.
    For long slideshows, create them as movie in iPhoto or iMovie. Many of us like Photo to Movie or FotoMagico (which I use).

  • Themed Transitions not rendering in export to Quicktime

    I just created my first imovie 09 project. I was using the Bulletin board theme and the transitions work fine with viewing in iMovie. However, when I *export out of imovie to quicktime or itunes not all the transitions render.* Especially the bulletin board transition. There are some other "standard" transitions that are not rendering either.
    I am wondering if this is a bug or if maybe it is the settings like Frame per second and encoding that is some how cutting these transitions out. Since most of the transitions do render out to quicktime, I am going to guess this is a bug.
    Anybody have a clue?

    The file information shows:
    Apple MPEG 4 Decompressor, 960 x 540, millions 16bit, 29.97 fps
    I just watched the rendered quicktime again and noticed that some of the Bulletin board transitions did render later in the movie but at least one transition is not rendering. It is very strange and bit frustrating.
    I am not sure what it could be since it shows in the imovie full screen preview.
