Import Problems: Video Pauses, then continues

I have used FCI for almost 2 years and never had any problems importing. Now, when I try to import, the footage randomly pauses on import, then a few seconds later picks back up again. As a result, the imported video has lots of still moments. All of the equipment has worked before.
The problem exists on both a MiniDV and D8 camera/tape.
I have tried importing both to Macintosh HD and to a LaCie HD.
I have tried pass-through conversion, to remove any digital tape errors.
I have used a GL2 as well.
This is driving me mad! Any ideas?

I have recently upgraded the OS to 10.4.10. I can't remember when 10.4.9 came out, but I don't think I imported on this machine with it.
How do I revert to 10.4.8?
Given all the variables I have tried (2 computers - one G4 & one Intel, 2 Firewire cables, 2 internal HDs and 1 external, 2 MiniDV cams and one Digital8 cam, digital and analog pass-through import, tapes from multiple projects) it seems that you may be right. The only thing I have been able to find in common here is the Firewire element.
Any other ideas? How do I revert?

  • Is there a way to take a video pause and continue playing on same video so i dont have to start a new video on my ipad 2

    In I movie, load the player with your clip.  Play it until the frame you want is in the viewing window.  Then take a screen shot and the whole screen wil be captured and placed in the camera roll.  You can then crop it down to just the picture, or portion of the picture you want.
    Not elegant, but functional.

  • AVCHD import problem, Video speed is FAST!

    When previewing the clips in the bin PRIOR to importing, everything looks great, and both Audio & Video run at realtime speed, but AFTER importing, the VIDEO is running at what appears to be 200%, audio is perfect... Help, please!

    I'm having the same problem. I've imported video without a problem before, but now the video speed after import is probably 4x faster.
    I'm using a Sony DCR-PC101 with a firewire connection. The camera uses Mini-DV.
    As Jesse Boy says the preview runs at normal speed. When viewing the LCD monitor on the camera while importing its running at normal speed.
    Is there a setting I can adjust in iMovie to fix this?

  • Jukebox 3 pauses then continues every few minu

    A Jukebox 3 that I've had for several years is suddenly getting cranky. During playback, about every fi've minutes it stops playing for anywhere from a half to .5 seconds, then continues. It doesn't lose track of position or skip to the next song, it just stops briefly. I'm wondering whether to suspect a disk problem or a controller problem. If it's a disk, I could just buy a new one, reformat, etc. If it's a controller problem then I'm probably out of luck (except for buying another on EBay). Any suggestions?

    All I can suggest is you run through this list of tests and fixes until you hit paydirt.

  • Can background sound be paused, then continue?

    Hi All,
    I was wondering if there is a way to have the background
    sound stop playing in frames, say, 20 thru 40, then continue?
    Any advice / bits of code is much appreciated! Couldn't find
    such a trick anywhere.
    Thanks,
    VL

    At frame 20 get the position of the sound and put it in a
    variable before
    stopping it:
    var curPos = mySound.position / 1000; //convert to seconds
    mySound.stop();
    at frame 40, start the sound from the curPos variable:
    mySound.start(curPos);

  • Videos and music pausing then continue playing

    Hi, I really need some kind peoples feedback on this - I've tried eveything I can think of.
    My 80gb 5.5 gen iPod video is playing up.
    When I play a video movie I get a slight pause, for about 2 seconds in the flow of the movie.
    This happens around every 10 mins of playing. My movies are ripped via handbrake.
    Also the pause appears with music tracks as well, around the 7th track played in an album. It happens with all albums - they all paly fine on my shuffle and iPod touch.
    I have tried formatting he iPod via disk utility and restored the iPod using iTunes.
    The iPod is using firmware 1.3 I am now wonderng whether I should downgrade to a lower firmware or even trying a firmware from a 3rd party company.
    I have also cleared all artwork off the song tracks and converted them all to 123 aac as well.
    Please let me know if any of you guys have experienced this problem.
    Thanks

    Prior to vacation, i had about half the iPad (64GB) loaded with videos and music. I left all of that on the iPad, and added even more. I synced it, checked in itunes that the iPad drop down lists were showing my vids and music, and then went on vacation. I never checked that the videos actually played after the sync. I never thought that would be necessary after seeing them in iTunes. Especially since the majority of them were ones that were remaining on my ipad and have always worked fine.
    So the problem is that my iPad memory is full, the files definitely synced over, but the ipad is not recognizing them as videos and music. It lists zero ids, zero songs. Oddly, my photos, which i didn't touch, are working perfectly.
    I'm confident that i could fix this by endlessly syncing when i get back home, however that 12 hour flight home would be a lot more entertaining if i could get this working without my computer

  • Canon HV40 import problems - video is sped up.

    I am trying to import a lot of video from a Canon HV40 that is in HD. I would like to keep the video the best resolution possible. After importing to iMovie HD, the video when first replayed looks fine, then the next time I view the clips they are sped up like in fast forward. I have tried multiple attempts but still no luck. Any idea of how to import without this happening? Am I missing a driver or something. These are .mov clips if that has anything to do with it.
    Thanks,
    zasteeg

    I use the HV30 and HV40 , one thing about canon is make sure you have nothing else connected to your computer when capturing. Such as firewire or usb cables. Just have your HV40 and firewire plugged in and also make sure you have plenty of HD space on your computer at the time of capture. I try to make sure at least 125gb of free space. Also when capturing you can make the screen of the imovie as small as you can, because that can cause chip delay. Now when capturing it might say 1/2 speed, 3/4 speed, full speed? When my captures are first starting out it might say 3/4 time but it quickly goes to full capture speed. Once finished say 63 minute miniDV tape, i then stop the capture> save project( because sometimes imovie might unexpectedly quit, so save the capture first>then unplug canon>then rewind tape when unplugged from computer. Oh also make sure you use the adapter power cord with the HV40--not the ion battery power> tends to give voltage in spurts and Mac's tend to be picky and just want to give you a blue screen. Hope it helps, it might not even remotely answer your question, but maybe to someone it might, good luck mate

  • Video pauses and audio continues for a few seconds

    I searched and was unable to find an answer. When I play a video in any type of player from youtube to VLC, the video starts and then the video pauses, audio continues for about 2 seconds, and then the video picks up where the audio is. It plays normally after the beginning. Any idea what this could be?

    Although I don't have my mouse jumping around, I can see that both YouTube and AVI videos that I play are stuttering during playback. And it's annoying.

  • Premiere cc 2014 crash after i import any video file...

    When i import a video, and then try to move it to the work area- premiere crash immediatey.
    Please help

    Hi,
    I would suggest using Premiere with the Quadro card. You can make that change under Program Files > Adobe > Premiere Pro > Right click on the exe and select Run with Graphics processor > High performance NVIDIA processor.
    You can permanently change it in the NVIDIA Control Panel. Add Premiere and GPUSniffer in the list and choose High Performance NVIDIA Processor. Report back if it helps you.
    Note: Don't forget to add GPUSniffer.exe
    Thanks,

  • New Problem - video loads, plays a bit, pauses, then plays without sound.

    On the first time that I used the TV-Out feature of the iPod, videos that normally were playing properly started to lag. The video would play about 15 seconds, then stop playing for a few seconds, then start again, but without sound. I just thought it might be because of the TV-Out feature, but after that incident, a large amount of my videos have been doing this, without using the TV-Out.
    My first use of the tv-out feature was around the time that I first updated the iPod firmware. I now realise that I have no need of the updated firmware, so would be willing to restore the iPod to factory settings, but would rather get some opinions first.
    Although these videos had played normally before, now they (and most all videos I have added since), do this when playing:
    Load up normally, play normally for about 15 seconds, pause and do nothing, then continue playing but without sound. If I use the clickwheel to skip ahead after it pauses, it will play normally for another 5 seconds or so and then pause and cut the sound again.
    I had not experienced anything like this before that first time I used the TV-out capability. Nor had I experienced it before updating the iPod. Now, many, but not all of my videos are doing this.
    Oh, it seems only the videos longer than 10 minutes are doing this... all the others work... some more testing would be needed to be certain. Video podcasts are playing fine. So... anyone else had this happen?

    This problem seems to occur for the 60GB models that are using the new firmware 1.1. It has been posted all over google and the only fix to this problem is to downgrade to 1.0. The problem is reported as not to affect the 30GB models but there are a few videos on my ipod (30GB) that suffer from this as well. I haven't downgraded by 30GB one to check if it fixes it, but I can assure you that it will fix the problem for the 60GB one (I used to have that one before).

  • Screen recording-video pauses while audio continues

    When I make a screen recording, the audio and video are playing perfectly (I use soundflower for the audio). However, when I go to watch my screen recording, it starts off like normal but about 30 seconds into the video, the video pauses while the audio continues playing like normal. Any reason as to why this is happening? I'm not just recording my screen but also a video from a website, don't know if that makes a difference.
    Thanks

    I am having the same issue I posted this elsewhere
    I have a Mid 2010 Mac Mini Server (full specs below) and very recently it has developed a strange problem.  I'll be watching something on iTunes and the video will stop but the audio continues.  If I move the mouse and click on the screen the video suddenly plays very fast untill it catches up with the audio and then for a while it will play normally.  I can go through this process 3-4 times an hour before I give up and stream to my iPad instead.
    in the beginning it only happened when I was using the HDMI cable but recently it happens when the mini VGA adaptor is plugged in too.
    its beginning to be very frustrating so any help would be truly appreciated.

  • Workaround for video pausing problem

    I too was suffering from the problem where my videos would freeze every 30 or so seconds and then continue playing without sound. I figured out that running the video forward and backward by 5 sec. would let it keep playing for another 30s or so. Last night I discovered that simply pressing the center button twice after it pauses will allow it to keep playing without any more pauses. If you jog the video forwards or backwards then it will start pausing again.
    Hope this helps

    My experience with my files is that it stops the pausing until the next time you jog the video forwards or backwards. In my case I'm watching a TV series with 30 minute episodes. When an episode starts I run the video ahead 1:30 and then 30 seconds later it pauses. I then hit the center button twice and the video plays fine for the rest of the episode.

  • I have a an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes. All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem.

    I have an iMac 27" and am trying to import some videos of a friends wedding into iMovie however one of the movies won't import. It doesn't say why or give any error message or codes.
    All of the other movies on the card download with out a problem. The movie in question is not 'corrupt' as you can watch it in iMovie direct from the SD card but as soon as you try to import it, it  just says 'error'. iIve tried moving the file to an external drive ( and other variations on this theme) then importing but have had no luck.
    Can anyone please help me.

    The mystery remains....
    Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
    I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
    The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
    If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
    Thanks
