Imported Images don't play correctly

I have 30 individual images (.bmp files) but when I import them to the timeline and press play, iMovie's timeline plays through each image so slowly. The whole 30 images should play less than a second long. It's like each image is treated like a separate movie in iMovie.
Can't I just import the images and play them quickly?
Also, when I save the images as a .mov (Quicktime) file from another application the .mov file is 266k to max of 1.2 MB, but iMovie's exported .mov is 8.4 mb at the smallest. What's up with that. This application seems like it's a waste of money at this point.

iMovie is a video edit app
not a "claymation maker"
apple-i-click on imported still: 5sec length (or whatever you set in prefs)
you can change that by hand
you can edit each "clip"
iM handles stills as clips because it is a video edit app (said that?)
so, you can add charming KB effects or transitions or...
sizes:
what compressor do you choose for export from QT or iM? depending on settings (size, re, fps, codec), 1 min can go from a few kB up to a few hundred MB.... it depends on what YOU decide, that Mac shall do...
This application seems like it's a waste of money at this point.
don't read the manuals/included help files/turtorials at Apple.com, just erase it by dragging it into trash can. every thought of buying a PC/windows machine?

AVI imported files don't play correctly

I have some AVI files I have been using with Premiere Pro 2, and they worked OK with it. E.g. MPEG-4.
Now I am importing these AVI clips to Premiere Pro CS4 and they don't play correctly in it. The video runs very quickly, while the sound plays normally.
Interesting enough, there are some other AVI files that have the same specifications that work OK with Premiere Pro CS4.
How can I fix Premiere Pro CS4 to import correctly all my AVI files?

Ok think about you are a director from the news-television. A car drove in a supermarket and the only man who filmed that was a "little consumer man" with a "little consumer camera" named Ixus 500 which takes mjpeg films. What are you doing? Do you say, sorry boss we can't handle the film!?
Premiere have to work with non profi material as well because of the fact that it could be needful.
In the fact that Premiere could handle this file without any errors when I install the reported codec, I think there must be a mistake by Premiere of choosen the right codec for this film. I have a mjpeg codec installed in my system. I think this one is used by Windows-Mediaplayer, Moviemaker. At this time I think Premiere use a different codec. It took the wrong option! After I install the reported mjpeg codec from "Morgan" Premiere think that it is the best to use this codec. And so the film plays correctly.
You can have many codecs installed at same time which are all used for the same video-format. The program which will play this movie has to do the right choice of which codec it will use to decode the movie. A help for this programms is the "Merit" of the codec which describes the priority of a codec. Higher Merit means use this codec first. You can see an example in the picture above.
http://www.abload.de/img/screenshot.2occ6.jpeg
First mjpeg codec is the standard windows codec. Second is my installed Morgan mjpeg codec. However without the Morgan codec Premiere should use the first one. I don't know why but I think without the Morgan installed, Premiere use a third codec which plays the movie wrong.

HT1209 I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing!

I've successfully imported the videos I've shot with my iphone5 into iphoto on my MacBookPro but they're only showing up as still shots, ie the imported videos don't play! Itunes no longer opens automatically when syncing, and when I open itunes it shows that there are zero "home movies" in there, meaning that it never grabbed the videos from my phone either. What to do? Thanks!

tl:dr?
Really?
There was a short version expressly for people who weren't bothered to read a myriad of text.
Meh, not that it matters anymore. I ended up redownloading 70-odd albums, so I have the bulk of my music back. And I still have no idea what iTunes did with my files, but I'll make sure it never does it again.
I would thank you for the help but you were utterly useless. Oh well, carry on.

My TV show purchases don't play correctly. When I click on them, a black screen with no audio plays. The timecode for the show runs, but I don't see or hear anything besides that black screen. Help!

MIDI files don't play correctly in QuickTime

I believe this is a bug in QuickTime, but since I don't expect the typical QuickTime user to understand this, and because I am generating the MIDI files with Logic, I thought this forum is an appropriate play to post this.
I'm producing some MIDI files that I would like people to easily be able to playback without installing special software. So that means using QuickTime.
The problem is QuickTime does not handle MIDI program changes properly. I put together a simple test case, it's just the notes C D E F and before each note it changes the MIDI program to 0, 10, 20, 30 respectively. So every note should sound different. When I play it with QuickTime, on either OS X or Windows, it does not play correctly. It seems the program change messages lag behind by one note.
To make sure this wasn't a problem with the MIDI file, I have tried playing it with:
* a hardware synthesizer
* SimpleSynth (a freeware program)
* AU DLS Synth (using Max/MSP to play the MIDI)
* WinAmp
* Windows Media Player
In all these cases, the playback occurs exactly like I would expect. So... QuickTime can't handle program change messages? Has anyone else experienced problems with this? Anyone know of a workaround? How about some easy alternatives to MIDI playback on Mac for people who don't have Logic?
I tried to find a workaround: I made the program changes occur well before the note-on, but that didn't help. I also tried sending multiple program changes to try to force QuickTime to listen. That didn't work either.
I have QuickTime 7.5.5. If someone else can verify this is a QuickTime bug, I will submit a bug report to Apple.
The file I used for testing is here: http://stashbox.org/262021/program-change-test.mid

Adam,
I can confirm this behavior on both Tiger 10.4.11 (QT 7.4.5) and Leopard, (QT 7.5.5).
I messed around with it and almost had it working by using a +30-tic offset on all events. The problem seems to be a good sized buffer used by the QT synth. If there is a solution I think it will be an initial offset by --- number of tics.
I'd also separate the program change and note event by at least a couple of tics.
Like this example using a 60-tic offset.
1 1 1 60 PG
1 1 1 62 Note on
2 2 2 60 PG
2 2 2 62 Note on
Good luck, let us know how it goes.
Back in the day I used to do MIDI files for commercial distribution, I know how
frustrating it can be. Trying to get consistent sound over a variety of GM/XG synths.

Images don't scale correctly

I'm creating a responsive design. I have a background image, a logo at the top center, and some square images on the left side. I set all of the images to scale responsively. The logo and background images scale properly (both H and W), but the images on the left only scale W. The height remains the same. How do I get it so they all scale both H and W?
Thanks

Hi BruceMCE
Can you share the project files with us? Would like to check on what are the settings you have done.

Video clips import but don't play

I import my avi video clips taken from my canon camera to imovie by makin them a .mov file though once i get them into imovie they just become a single picture, not a movie clip.
I want to make some still clips from these movie clips...anyway ideas?

How do you do that?
AVI is just a container that can contain video in any form. What's inside the AVI? MPEG-1? MPEG-4? Motion JPEG?

Videos online and itunes library don't play correctly

I'm having problems watching videos and listening to my itunes library on my macbook pro. When watching videos the audio keeps going but the video stops and then skips forward every 10 seconds or so. In iTunes, my music stops and starts every few seconds. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hello skachic20,

HTML5 Wistia and Vimeo hosted videos are not playing correctly in Firefox (Choppy, hangs on frames, jittery audio)

Hi, for some reason I can't get HTML5 videos hosted by Wistia or Vimeo to play correctly in firefox. I tried doing a fresh install of firefox, running version 35.0.1, and the videos still don't play correctly. They constantly load, videos hang on frames, and the audio gets jittery. However, if I switch to flash they do play correctly. Videos on youtube play fine. I can't figure this out. I tested the same videos with Safari, and they play correctly, which tells me there's something not right with Firefox and perhaps my system.
I use a MacBook pro (Mid - 2010) with OS X Yosemite, 10.10.2.
Any ideas?

Try to disable all video player extensions in your Firefox and test the site that is giving playback issues. Turn on each one until there is an obvious difference.
Some video formats/codecs may not be supported by one over the other.
Right click on the HTML5 player and select: "About HTML5"
It will tell you that youtube has automatically enrolled you in their beta testing and to opt out you click the link on the bottom to stop seeing HTML5 videos.

Downloaded music doesn't play correctly

I've recently downloaded two albums from the itunes store and they don't play correctly on the computer or my iphone. All of my previous downloads have worked fine. I even purchased one of them a second time in case the problem was on my end. How do I oursue this with Apple?
Thanks!

Could you walk us through what happens when you try to play the songs, please?

I downloaded itunes update 10.5 and now all tunes I have downloaded from Walmart and Amazon don't play on my PC properly. How can I fix this?

I downloaded intues update 10.5 to my PC and now all the music I have downloaded from other venues, Walmart and Amazon don't play correctly. How can this be corrected? I am currently using windows XP.

I have an ITunes account. I got it when I got my IPOD. I've thought about upgrading, but I didn't see any reason to buy a newer IPOD because they all come with so much stuff I don't want/need. I don't have my current IPOD filled yet and I really don't need an IPOD Touch that has capabilities that my Droid already has. I don't need to be concerned with documents, mail, attaching to Facebook or playing games. I can do all that on my phone. I just want to maintain my music between 3 devices.
So now that I see it is not to my benefit to have this product---can you point me in the direction to cancel this? And how do I get my music back? Will it show up once I cancel my account?

Animations imported into Captivate 5.5 not playing correctly.

This issue started when I tried to open a Cp 5 project in Cp 5.5. The animations don't play at all if the "Synchronize with Project" option is On and the anmiation starts at 0 sec on the timeline. Also, there is a visible "blink" between animations on the same slide and between slides.
I've been using Cp 5 for about a year and have worked out my issues with it so these are the things that AREN'T wrong: The transitions for slides and swfs are set to "No Transitions," there is no space between swfs on the timeline that would be making the "blink," there are no blank frames at the end of the timeline in the swf files(inside of Flash), the swfs are AS3, they are only as long as their original timeline, my Preferences are set to no fades on Start and End slides, and my timelines do not extend beyond their content to show white space.
The files work fine in Cp 5. The file animation links are also randomly missing/broken when brought into Cp 5.5 and even after I re-establish them, they periodically turn red (not up to date).
So I figured, "Maybe I can't work with previous version files. I'll just start a new blank project in Cp 5.5." Right? . . . Not right. Swfs still aren't visible when published if they are set to "Synchronize with Project" AND start at the 0 sec mark. They still "blink" between swfs and slides. So maybe I can't use Flash 5 files in Cp 5.5 either. If that is the case, this upgrade was a waste of time and money and should not have been released until these MAJOR issues were resolved.
Someone from support is looking into it, but so far the only advice that I got was "Turn the Sync option off and fade into your next animations." What?! The sync option is very important because that keeps your animations playing correctly when people scrub the playhead. If Cp 5.5 is programmed to do that automatically, then why keep the option button? If not, do you really expect me to NOT want my animations to play consistently when people drag around the playhead? As for the fading, maybe fading out after every animation swf is not an option for me, maybe I need it to be seamless. And to that I was told, "Put all your animations together in one Flash file." Duh, but that was how this needing Cp to assemble my separate swfs started in the first place. If any of you have tried importing 3D rendered pngs into Flash, you know that you can only have so many frames before the program can't handle the load and crashes. I can only support aoubt 250-300 frames of optimized pngs before Flash crashes on me and thats WITH 16GB of ram on a new 64 bit operating system.
If anyone has had this issue and found a fix or some kind of pending patch, please let me know, because by now, I'm wanting a refund.

Captivate 5 was a total rewrite from the Captivate 4 software architecture and it introduced a subtle but fundamental change in the way that Flash animations were handled in Captivate published content.
Basically the change means that if your animation was built down a level or two inside a symbol rather than on the main timeline at the top level, then you will find that Captivate 5 or 5.5 loads and executes the animation on the first slide of the movie. This means that by the time you get to the actual slide where you WANTED the animation to perform it's magic, it's already run and finished.
In Captivate 4 this did not happen. The animation was not really loaded until later in the movie timeline so as to be ready for the slide where it was required. It didn't matter if the animation was buried inside a symbol or not.
You have two choices:
Revamp your animation so that it all happens on the main timeline in the Flash FLA file that generates it.
Get your Flash programmer to add some ActionScript code to the animation so that it does NOT play completely when first loaded at the beginning of the project at runtime.
I agree that Captivate would have been regarded as less of a beast if this change had NOT been made, as users only find out about it AFTER upgrading projects with animations built as symbols. However, I have to trust that if the change was introduced, there must have been a very good reason.

Tracks imported from CDs prior to 11/08 not playing correctly

95% of the tracks I imported from CDs prior to November of 2008 will not play back correctly in I-tunes or on my Ipod. Tracks that have been imported since then are fine.
If I go directly to the MP3 file on my hard drive and play it through Windows Media Player it plays fine.
Import settings are MP3 High Quality 160 kbps.
If I delete the track in I-tunes and re-import it from the MP3 file on the hard drive it still doesn't play correctly or won't import it at all.
If I delete the track and corresponding file on the hard drive and then re-import the track through I-tunes it is OK.
Is there anyway to "repair" the old transfered files or am I looking at wasting 20 hours of my life deleting and re-importing all of these tracks?

Image is to fast and the sound is played correctly..........

I have a JVC GY100 HD camera and I want to import material onto Imovies HD but every time I try the video play to fast and the sound play correctly. I have tried to change the frame rate but this doesn´t make a difference ...... Please help!!!!

It sounds like the Audiobook's playback speed was changed. You can change it by tapping the audio book artwork, locating the speed control that can be found under the right side of the scrubber bar. Then adjust as needed. The options as 1/2x, 1x, and 2x.
