IMovie Transitions rippling video

I have a G5 2.7 running 10.4.2 with 6 gigs of ram. I am using iMovie 5.0.1.
When I use a transition between clips I get an unwanted 'rippling' video effect which looks similar to an old video tape head alignment problem. It is only when I use a transition and it is on every different transition I pick.
Any thoughts on what is going on? Prior to this I had a G4 and I didn't have this issue.....
Thank you.

I have noticed these flaws with the transitions. Are you seeing something else?

  • Themes / Ken Burns effects don't render, Transitions and Video FX do render

    Topic pretty much says it all. I'm working on some family vacation videos, and thought it might be nice to apply some travel themes to some sections of the video.
    The red "rendering" bar that's supposed to crawl along the bottom as it's rendering, and then disappear when done, is dark red, and never fills with the bright red indicating that it's actually rendering the clip.
    iMovie's at the latest version (6.0.3), and I've tried this with a number of projects, with no luck. Transitions and video effects work like a peach, so it's just something with themes and the ken burns effect on pictures.
    I've deleted the imovie.plist, and repaired permissions.
    I should also note, the preview, when dropping clips onto the drop zone(s), display's properly. As does the ken burns effect when setting up it's duration. It's when you apply the settings, and it drops the clip onto the timeline to start rendering it, that's where we hit a snag.
    This is on the internal drive, Mac Extended (Journaled) format, there's about 40GB free space. I've emptied both the system, and iMovie trash. I've tried deleting the FontCollections folder.
    I'm just rambling off suggestions I've tried from the various threads I've been gleaning in hopes of finding a solution to this.
    When I started these projects, I chose DV Widescreen, as everything I film with my DV camcorder (Panasonic PVGS59) is set to widescreen.
    I've even tried manually splitting the clips, so that the part(s) I want "themed" are only as long as the theme duration, hoping maybe it was choking on a longer clip (say around 1 to 2 minutes), when all it needed for the theme was about 4-10 seconds. Exact same thing, dark red "rendering" bar, but no bright red bar showing how the rendering is progressing.
    I've dug through about 32 pages so far, still going and not finding anything that's actually helping. It seems though my issue is quite similar to others', it's unique as nothing that's worked for others is working for me.

    Hi, Nice to be here, despite the problems!
    Last night I reinstalled iMovie from the recovery disk and even manually deleted all plugins and prefs beforehand. It didn't make any difference in either my account or a new user account I set up. I repaired all the disk permissions again and also once again deleted the iMovie plist, all to no avail.
    I had a software update flagged on Monday night (which I downloaded), the problem has only been since then. The other software flagged for download included a battery update and a SuerpDrive firmware update. The SuperDrive update seems to fail to operate. It would try to run it on startup but would advise that the program could find a device to update? Strange. I deleted the .pkg and also the program from nmy startup items.
    So, with the version of iMovie rolled back to the original one off the recovery disk, I would have hoped that it would have started to work, which it hasn't! I subsequently searched for software updates and added a couple, one at a time to see if that would help (restarting every time). That didn't work either!
    What on earth is there left to do, despite a full reinstall of Mac OSX?!
    I wonder if this is an emerging problem following the latest seemingly recent software update for iMovie?

  • Can i connect a Samsung VP-D381 to iMovie to import videos?

    I have recently bought a Samsung VP-D381 Mini DV camcorder, and have just tried to connect it to iMovie to import a video that i have just recorded, only to find that Samsung do not have any software or drivers for the Apple OS...
    I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how i could get this to work?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    (I posted the same answer to a similar thread)
    I have the same camcorder and same issue, though with iMovie '09.
    Symptoms on my Samsung VP-D381 are :
    I can import when in Camera mode (live capture)
    I cannot import what has been recorded on tape (import window stays blue)
    I can forward and rewind and stop.
    I found a trick I hope will be useful for you :
    open iMovie.
    without connecting it yet, put your Panasonic on "Play".
    when video plays, plug the DV cable in.
    iMovie opens the video import window and then you should see the tape playing.
    press the "Import" button to capture the DV stream.
    Let me know if you find other ways to get it to work. I'm quite frustrated Samsung cannot make a DV camcorder work with iMovie, 14 years after DV went out!

  • Does iMovie support 4K video editing and export?

    Does the latest version of iMovie support 4K video export? I have seen that it supports XAVC-S from Sony, but I do not know if 4K XAVC-S is supported too.
    Thank you for answer.
    P.S.: If not, would it be able to in near future?

    Hi Tomas J
    the problem is that if you have nothing but 4k XAVC clips in the card and you try to import from the Import window
    FCPX will not see the card as a Camera and only as a Volume. You cannot do Camera archives from a volume but you are able to do Camera Archives if it is detected by FCPX as a Camera.  The reason I like to do Camera Archives is that that way I transfer the whole content of the SD card in one pass to a container that I can transfer to any HD that is hooked up or connected to the computer usually avoiding the main or boot drive and I can bring that container or Archive into the Favorites column of the import window pf FCPX ,opened and start importing from there. This has two main advantages 1 Once I create the archive and have all my clips in its container I can wipe the card clean and start using it again, 2 If I placed it in the Favorites colum of the import window I can open it and start importing to FCPX as if it was any card, Also you can move this container or archive any where as long as it is connected to your computer and if you have finished and don't plan to use it anymore you can store it for keeps with all the original files you shot in any storage for keeps. You also preserve the file structure of the SD card  That is why I need FCPX to recognize the SD card as a CAMERA AND NOT AS A VOLUME when using 4K XAVC-S clips.  The way you are doing it may be ok up to a point only for a few clips here and there but if you're preserving or making a Movie of you vacation or other events that would be an Immense task.
    The Sony AX-100 camera that you have has the same file structure that the AX-33 if you import nothing but 4K XAVC-S clips without mixing mp4 or AVCHD ON THE SAME CARD Have you found the same problem????
    Thank You,

  • Transition Between Video Tracks

    Is there a way to make a transition between video tracks? Or is it only possible with menu-track and slide-video?
    Thanks.

    Richard
    Using DVDSP transition from track to track won't work the way you want or think it will. Thats not what transition in DVD were designed for. There is no solution. DVD is a linear technology and placing transitions between tracks means the laser of a player must refocus to a different part of the disc as to comes from 1 track to a transition to the second track.
    Why not just make 1 track. If thats not an option then you need to re-think the title.

    Hi - also new to the forums - I am trying to do the following:
    I have a slideshow with slides of people, then a slide with a video of someone talking about the person, then more slides, etc... I want to have my playlist play then pause (or fade) so that it does not conflict with the audio from the video clip when it (automatic slide show) transitions to the slide with the video - can I do this and if so how?
    thanks,

  • How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

    How do I get video from my iPhone to iMovie? The videos download to iPhoto, but are not "available" in iMovie when I select iPhoto in event library.

    I haven't launched iMovie in a while, and I've used iPhoto to import many videos from my iPhone's Camera Roll since the last time I launched and used iMovie.
    iMovie prompted me to create/update the thumbnails for my iPhoto videos, along with indicating no iPhoto videos will be available with iMovie until this is completed.
    Not sure how to do this manually, but this may be your problem.

  • IMovie Skipping After Video Import?

    I am using iMovie 8.0.5 and a Black MacBook. I have a MiniDV Panasonic camcorder that I bought a couple of years ago. It takes good video, but when I try importing it into iMovie, the imported video skips every so often. I am using a FireWire 400 cable between my computer and camcorder. I have quit all of the other programs when I am importing.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
    Dave

    I found a work-around for this problem. I tried importing to my MacBook Pro's internal drive instead of the external drive I'm using to store my video footage. From there, iMovie '09 lets me copy the imported footage to the external drive. It's not the solution I prefer, but it works for now.
    Has anybody else even had this problem? I've seen very few reports of this problem and even fewer suggestions for possible solutions. BTW I'm running Snow Leopard's 64 bit kernal. Could that be a factor here?

    I use imovie to create videos. When I burn the video to DVD and play it back there is digital breakup in the playback from the DVD. The digital breakup does not show in playback on the computer. I understand there is a file I need to delete and reboot the computer and imovie will rebuild the file in the program. Help!

    My method is to use the DAW in standard recording mode, and set up the camcorder entirely separately.  After recording, I automate the audio mix with fader moves and effects, then export ("bounce to disk") a full-fidelity AIFF, 16-bit 48 kHz stereo file (most videos use 48, not 44.1).  I use iMovie '11 to import the video from the camera, then import the stereo audio file and match it up to the camera audio by dragging it into the iMovie Project.  Make the waveforms visible, it's not too hard to align.
    Then, use iMovie's "Export as Quicktime" feature.  Here, by going through the menus and options, you can control the audio compression (for example, 256k instead of 128, although 128 seems to be enough for YouTube).
    AppleMan1958 posted a YouTube video about controlling iMovie's export options that may help:

  • Sharing iMovie not taking video with it for iDVD

    I have created a movie in iMovie that has video that was recorded and some still shots at the end. When I am in iMovie and review what I have done, the entire movie is there (opening title shot, video & sound, still shots with song from iTunes playing in background). When I share the movie so I can create an iDVD, it seems to be doing everything that I need. Then when I go into iDVD to make a project, the movie that I shared is there and everything is contained in the movie EXCEPT the video part! I have all of the audio that goes with the video, the titles, still shots, etc. What am I do wrong???? Thank you for your help because it is driving me nuts to not be able to figure it out.

    Check the compression format of you source video. If it is Apple Animation or Apple Video, you have found your problem.

  • IMovie 11' issues - video glitches

    I have video footage I shot that plays perfectly within the Qtime player.  (full HD on my Canon camcorder)
    When importing into iMovie 11', the video has severe glitch defects.  any thoughts?

    Hi
    • Was it recorded in p50 or p60 - If so - iMovie can not use it.
    It needs to be converted to i50 resp i60 first.
    • Did You Optimize Your Clips.
    Some says if helps other writes that it is the culprit.
    Have no such material to test - so it's just my thought (from reading lot's of other posts in this forum)

    la ventana que muestras parece ser eque es el Finder del OSX.
    No tengo abierto el Mac, para mirar una posible razón.
    Asi como alternativa te sugiero que abras Adobe Bridge.
    y arrastres el icono de la carpeta de las imágenes sobre la linea del path (en la parte superior izqda. justo debajo de la fila de iconos)
    Aparecerán todas las imágenes de esa carpeta con sus vistas previas.
