Importing problems - clips are longer than source - grayed out.

I am trying to import a movie clip (.MOV) that is only 30 seconds long. When it imports into iMovie, the whole clip is there, but it is over 9 minutes long and the extra 8:30 is filled with gray and no sound. I have no idea why this is - I have tried with many such clips multiple times, with the same results. It is very frustrating!
If anyone knows the solution, or the reason, please let me know!
Thanks,
AlwaysApple

I see, you are using a Kodak still camera. Perhaps it's best to use iPhoto.
Also take a look a the links below, I don't think your camera is supported in iMovie '09
Here is a list of supported devices:

Not all devices are supported:

Is it normal for a waveform graph to truncate arrays of values that are longer than others when displaying multiple waveforms on the same graph?

I am reading back values of several waveforms that were saved to disk using the write to spreadsheet vi. Some of the data sets are longer than others eg. 35 seconds vs 45 seconds. All have the same sample rate.
See the code segment below. If I select the larger files first then all the data will show. If I select a smaller file first the larger ones will be truncated to the size of the small file. I am using LV 7.0.

I needed to make some grammatical/ nomelclature changes, But, Could not edit the previous post.
so posting again
"Thats because you are inserting into an array of a predefined size.
For ex,
When you try inseting a 1D array 'A' of 50 elements as row 1 of a 2 D array of 40 elements(in row 0 ), only only the first 40 elements will get insetred into 2 D array. You lose the last 10 elements of array 'A'
To avoid this, I suggest you use XY graph( of course you have to create an x axis with the index of each element in the inserted array and plot on xy graph).
Any doubts, do get back"

Your select querry on MARC is not matching with MARC_TY.
The field in the MARC table and MARC_TY should be same.
and also, when you are making select querry on CDPOS table
with all entries.
When ever you are using all entries select statement, you should check whether the internal table is having value.
you should check
if CDPOS_IT[] is not initial.

I cannot log and transfer clips that are longer than 5 minutes.

Hello,
I am trying to log and transfer several clips from my Canon Vixia HF S11 camcorder. When I attempt to transfer a clip into Final Cut Express that is longer than 5 minutes, it stops right when it is about to finishe and says, "Unknown Error." Due to the volume of my HD footage, I am working on an external hard drive with ample space. Could this be the problem? Should I attempt to transfer these longer clips onto my MacBook hard drive? Thank you very much for you help.
-Samantha

Use Disk Utility (in your Applications>Utilities folder) to erase the drive and reformat as Mac OS Extended. There are differing opinions regarding whether or not you should select journaling. With media drives, I tend not to. (This process will, of course, erase what's on the drive presently.)

Importing images and setting longer than 10:00 length

Dear all, I have a very simple question. Whenever I import an image into my project, it is automatically set to length of 10:00. In the sequence viewer, I cannot drag it to make it longer than a certain length of time. So, I end up having to add several copy of the image.
How can I make the image I import have a longer length?
BTW, I am using this image as an overlay ontop of my video.

Import of images is controlled by Final Cut Express>User Preferences>General Tab.
Still/Freeze Duration can be set here to any duration you like.
You should be able to double click your still in the Timeline, it opens in the Viewer. Adjust the duration in the Top Left Timecode box. If clips are either side of the still in the Timeline it may not work as there won't be enough room for the duration to be longer.

How to find the urls that are longer than 260 characters

Hi
I'm getting an error using Restore-SPSite thats most likely caused by URL's longer than 260 characters. How can I find out which URL's are too long? It's a huge site collection so it's not an option to search manually.

Completed a project in iMovie which is 41 minutes long (2 GB) . When I attempt to create a iDVD disk(via clicking on share) ,I am advised that an error occurred because the project is too long. Have made other movies/created disks that are longer than 41

Have completed a project in project library that is 41 minutes long ( 2.1 GB ) . When I click share and attempt to create an iDVD disk , an error notice appears claiming the new project is too long. Have created other iMovie/DVD disks in the past which were longer than 41 minutes. What corrections do I need to make to ensure I can create a DVD disk for this 41 minute ( 2 GB ) project... I am using a 17 MacBook pro for this project.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

IMovie 10.0.4 imported video clips are blank and green?

I've imported video clips successfully from a VHS player & from a few DVD's to iMovie 10.0.4. However, the most recent DVD I've wanted to import doesn't work. The original DVD is in UDF format. I converted it to MP4.4 format, and the first time I played it in iMovie, it worked fine. But the second time I played it, the whole clip was super jittery like it was skipping every 0.5 seconds. Then the third time I played it, the clip was just a blank green screen. I've tried using the most recent version of HandBreak to convert the DVD to a different format that supposedly iMovie can read, but the same thing happens when it's imported into iMovie - just a blank green clip. What am I doing wrong?? Thanks all.

Same issue I've seen. I have a Sony DCR-TRV30. Had 40 tapes to transfer to iMovie 10.0.6. Had no issue on first 16 tapes then all the sudden I experienced the audio/video timing issue. Video looks good when it is getting imported, audio/video in sync on camera and in preview window on iMovie while importing. Tape finishes and you start to watch import when beginning of tape is in sync and by end it is several seconds out of sync. Tried deleting and installing iMovie again and that didn't help.

Why are the iDVD menus grayed out?

I downloaded a movie from iTunes, downloaded fine. Opens and plays in Quicktime, no problem. The format is mp4 and m4v (tried both). But when I put it into iDVD to put on a DVD disk, cannot do. Using the magic iDVD choice, I can set it up, drag the movie in, preview. But I get a message I need to access "Project info" and change the settings. However, that menu item (and almost all the other menu items) are grayed out, so can't do it.
So what is the problem? I tried both formats in iDVD and neither will work. Is it the wrong format?

Yes, I tried it again by seeing the song in the main library as opposed to seeing it in a playlist. Again, the lyrics tab was grayed out. I was able to see the tab, however, when I did a "get info" for one of her music videos I have.

Why are all menu items grayed out?

I just opened iWeb 6 for the first time and all my menu items are grayed out except for a few things like Page Setup. Why is this happening? I looked in the Help and Getting Started but couldn't find anything that seemed to fit. I don't have an .mac account as I have web space on campus to use. Does that matter?
Thanks.

Mail merge sources grayed out

I'm doing a mail merge for the first time on Pages. trying to link a Numbers spreadsheet to the Pages letter.
I tried with iCloud documents, but after inserting mail merge fields into the Pages doc I tried to link to Numbers doc, but the Numbers doc was grayed out (as were all documents).
i assumed it was iCloud being flaky, so i changed the documents to local. Stil no luck.
The fields have the same names as the spreadsheet headers.
Everything appears to be fine until I try to select a mail merge source. I select "Numbers document" and every file that I can find is grayed out.
What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be gratefully accepted - I'm running against a deadline
And by the way, does iCloud mail merge work?

AraMari,
It probalby wouldn't hurt to delete the plist files for Pages and Numbers in your old user account. In your old account, Close the apps and switch to Finder. Hold down the Option key while you click the Go menu item and (sitll holding the Option key) select Library. Then navigate to Preferences and delete:
com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
com.apple.iWork09.plist
When you restart the apps, new plist files will be created. Any preference you altered will now be reset to their defaults.

Can no longer use the gray out icon in the Menu bar to update CC

Since I upgraded my Mac OS from 10.9.4 to 10.9.5, I only have a grayed-out icon in the Menu Bar in the Finder for checking for updates. When I try to access it, I only get an endlessly spinning wheel. Any other finding this glitch also? Any cure for it?
I also couldn't find an app which I thought I'd used before called Adobe Updater to check for updates.

I am having the same issue on 10.8.4

Importing problems: clips skip and then stop importing

If you go into iMovie Help section, there is a troubleshooting section where this exact question is asked and "answered." However, the answer that they gave was not adequate and did not solve my problem.
This is what happened-I was importing and all of a sudden i got to a part where it just starts to skip. It keeps skipping for a few seconds and then just stops importing. My camera is a MiniDV and the tape i used to record things is brand new. I also put in another tape that i had successfully imported in the past in my camera to see if the brand new tape was somehow defective, but the same thing happened with the old tape that i put in to import. Could it be the connecter? But if something was wrong with that wouldn't my computer not recognize my camera at all?
Help me please! I want to finish the movie I'm making

Hi
Two most common origins to this:
• You have stopped recording - rewind view and may be even took out the tape.
= TimeCode on tape is boroken and needs to be mended
• You have used LP-mode while recording. Don't and even more so if the recording
was done on another Camera. Then LP-mode most often doesn't work. To sencitive.
First situation:
• Try to turn off in iMovie preferences menu: Import as individual clips.
You might get the material in even if it is as a full block that needs to be cut up
• Alt. If You got two Cameras + one FireWire 4-pin to 4-pin Cable
Firts record one tape with just anything eg a wall (This will not be kept)
Copy the problem tape onto the prerecorded one (with a complete TimeCode)
Second sit:
• Get the Original Camera and then
• Try to turn off in iMovie preferences menu: Import as individual clips.
You might get the material in even if it is as a full block that needs to be cut up
• If in LP-mode (90min on a 60min tape) You also get sync problems so start with
Clip on Timeline then Advance mebu and down to Exract Audio.
Might help.

CC 2014 Imported MP4 clips no longer work

I had been working on a project in CC and it contained several MP4 clips. These work fine and have video and audio.
Yesterday, I updated CC Pro to CC Pro 2014.
I opened the project in 2014 and it told me I needed to convert the project file to the new format which I did.
Now, within 2014 all the MP4 clips show as "Media Offline".
If I try and import a new MP4 into the project within 2014, I get a message "File Import Failure - the file has no audio or video streams".
Fortunately, I still have the Pro CC version still installed and the MP4s are still fine in that version.
Within the Creative Cloud application, it lists my three installed apps (Premiere Pro CC, Premiere Pro CC (2014), Media Encoder CC (2014)) and says they are all up to date.
I am running Windows 8.1
I would be grateful for any suggestions?
Thanks
Glenn

I just exported a MP4 video from within CC 2014 and then imported it back into CC 2014 and it worked fine.
Looking at the codec information for what did and didn't work:
Clips that fail
Codec: mp4v
Name: MPEG-4 Video
Clips that work
Codec: avc1
Name: H.264/MPEG-4 AVC

Importing problems - clips are longer than source - grayed out.
