IPhoto video clips does not work in iMovie

I just installed Leopard and ilife '08 into my MAC.
The video clips from my iPhoto library are not shown properly in iMovie. I'm only able to hear the sound of the clip but unable to watch it. when i skim through the clip, i don't see anything on the viewer, i just hear skimming through the sound. when i tried to play the clip, just the sound began to play. even the thumbnail does not show a picture of the clip, its just grey.
Can someone help me please???

Format: Apple OpenDML JPEG, 640 x 480, Millions 16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 44.100 kHz
As post in your other topic, this looks like it should be compatible.
I've captured video from my built-in isight camera in my MacBook. when i was trying to skim through or play the video clip in iMovie, the clip didn't appear in the side viewer. I am able to hear the voice of the clip and even see the thumbnail clearly but not in the viewer.
This sounds like part of your original problem. Suggest you try importing the same files to an alternative platform and/or possibly an alternative user account to see if the problem is "global" on your system and "limited" to your system only. Suspect you may have a bad install or corrupted application that may simply be generating unusable "thumbnails" here. You basically need to isolate the problem to see if it is in OS and/or application. For instance, did you update to iMovie v7.1 before or after installing Leopard or better yet, have you installed all of the updates?

  • Installed Premiere Pro CS4 but video display does not work?

    I just got my copy of CS$. After installing Premiere I found two things that seem very wrong:
    1) video display does not work, not even the little playback viewer next to improted film clips located on the project / sequence window. Audio works fine.
    2) the UI is way too slow for my big beefy system.
    My pc is a dual boot Vista-32 and XP system with 4GB of memory installed and nvidia geforce 280 graphics board with plenty of GPU power. The CS4 is installed on the Vista-32 partition. My windows XP partition on the same PC with Premiere CS2 works great and real fast.
    Any ideas how to solve this CS4 install issue?

    I would like to thank Dan, Hunt, and Haram:
    The problem is now very clear to me. The problem only shows up with video footage imported into PP CS4 encoded with "MS Video 1" codec. So this seems to be a bug. The codec is very clearly called out and supported within various menues but video with this codec just will not play in any monitor or preview window. In addition the entire product looks horrible with respect to performance while PP CS4 trys its best to play the video. Audio will start playing after about 30 seconds. And once in awhile part of video shows up at the wrong magnification before blanking out again.
    My suggestion to the Adobe team: fix the bug and add some sample footage to the next release so new installations can test their systems with known footage.

  • Video Filter does not work.

    Hello.
    I have been using Final Cut Pro 4 for a while and it worked fine before. But recently, any function of Video Filter does not work. I apply them to the clip, but the image does not show any changes on Canvas.
    Is the software's problem?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ying

    For a reason unknown to me, FCP's preference files (there's 3 of them) will sometimes become corrupted and need to be trashed. Usually the symptoms are things just not working as they did earlier, or weird issues like the 3 Way Color Corrector looks different than before ... stuff like that.
    FCP Rescue is a freeware app (yes, you'll need to download it) that will create a backup set of preferences, thereby retaining all of your settings. Then when (not IF, but when) FCP's preferences become corrupted, you can run FCP Rescue to replace the bad set with a fresh new set.
    Otherwise you can delete the files yourself (make sure FCP isn't open at the time) and the next time you launch FCP, it will revert back to the factory settings.

  • Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

    He,
    I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
    Can anybody help me?
    Greets,
    Daan

    Hi
    Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
    Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

  • How do I uninstall the iPhoto update which does not work on maverick?

    How do I uninstall the iphoto update which does not work. ie it tells me my library is locked out and the recommended action by apple does not open the phot library first aid. ? i need to go back to the old iphoto.

    Terence, I was trying a way to message you directly - jumping on a recent thread seemed to be the only way (sorry, DEW45). 
    Terence, you seem to be the foremost expert on apeture and iphoto and have helped me many times in the past (thanks).  I have a question that you may be able to help with (anyone also feel free to take a stab).  I use blogger to upload my photos and host my blog (www.sippingespresso.com).  I spend hours organzing and editing photos - namely, I will enhance and sometimes alter an image in Apeture.  It always saves over the orginal file (at least for viewing purposes), which is fine by me.  But then when I go to upload the photos onto blogger it seems to always pull my dull, original image.  Obviously, I want the newer, bright, enhanced photo.
    I'm one step away from importing them, dragging them out of iphoto and into Photoshop, then editing the files and dragging them back into iphoto, deleting the originals and uploading from there.  There HAS to be a better way - please help!!  I've already posted far too many boring images without the beauty of Apeture's "auto enhance".
    Thanks in advance, Terence or anyone else. 

  • My video zoom does not work on my iphone or ipad after IOS 7.0.2 update.

    After updating iPad and iPhone 4S to IOS7.0.2 the video zoom function does not work. I have also lost the function to zoom on video playback.  

    Is somebody from Apple monitoring these forums? I do have the same problem, i just recently noticed that the zoom in my video camera is no longer available since I upgraded my 4S iPhone to the newest version.

  • Audio in video messages does not work

    When I record a video message for someone, the audio does not work properly. It either doesn't work at all (silence is recorded), or cuts out after a 1-2 seconds. The problem seems to be confined to the MP4 video/audio encoder used by Skype for video messages.
    My webcam (Logitech HD615) works properly when used for Skype calls (including the built in microphone), and when used in other applications. With other applications, I can also record videos and the audio is captured and encoded correctly. Although the problem does not seem to be the webcam, I have re-installled the webcam drivers and I have tried changing USB ports for the webcam.
    I have re-installed the latest version of Skype and verified that Windows has the latest updates (I'm using Windows 7).  I have tried re-booting a number of times when debugging this issue.
    I have looked at the mp4 file that's created in the temp folder when Skype records the message - the audio is missing/broken regardless of what player I use. This, and the fact that the webcam works makes me believe that the problem is in the Skype use of the audio/video encoder, or the encoder itself.
    Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    K.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When you change the USB ports, make sure not to use USB 3.0 ports. I had a very similar issue with Logitech c920 webcam. Changing the port to USB 2.0 has solved the issue.

  • Google talk video plugin does not work any more with Firefox 4. When clicking on the video chat icon, I am repeatedly asked to install the plugin, and it never works.

    Google talk audio/video plugin used to work fine on Firefox 3, but does not work anymore on Firefox 4. Every time I click on the video chat icon on google talk, I am asked to install the plugin, even if I have already installed it before. The plugin works properly on the latest version of IE on the same PC.
    Thanks for your help. I do not want to switch to Chrome or Opera, but if this bug is not fixed, I will have to.

    Not sure if installing IE 9 did it or not but I now see the camera in IE, FF and Chrome. Could be Facebook fixed the problem also.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • 2nd video card does not work

    I have a spare Mac Pro here so I decided to remove the video card and put it in the one I'm using. Both machines were purchased in '09 and use the same video card (ATI Radeon HD 2600). The two monitors I have hooked into the original video card work fine but the monitors I hooked into the newly placed video card are not working. Under the About This Mac specs >> PCI cards it shows up and says driver is installed. Is there anything special you need to do to get a second video card to work?
    Thanks.

    I tried the SMC reset. I removed the card and reseated it. I'm seating it in slot 2 because that's the only other one that is x16. The other slots 3-4 are x4. Still nothing is showing up. When I go to System Preferences >> Displays >> Detect Dispalys nothing happens. The two displays plugged into the original video card work fine but the newly installed on does not show up. Here is what the Mac Info is detecting. Maybe this makes sense to someone. Not sure what MSI is referring to and the second video card is reading as "display" instead of "ATI Radeon HD 2600". Link speed on the second card is half that of the original.

  • Play back video clip is not working in the event browser...

    Hello,
    I have a problem in the event browser only. If I place the skimmer in any clip and press the space bar, nothing happen. If I press the "play" arrow" it does not work neither nor through the presentation menu.
    The space bar shortcut to play works perfectly fine in the timeline, but not in the event browser.
    In order to preview a clip at normal speed (100%), I have to drag it in the timeline and play it wich is rather anoying.
    Any idea on how to correct this issue would be very much welcome.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    I was having this exact same problem.  I tried deleting the preferences, however that didn't work.  But, yes, when I switched the view from 'show viewers on second display', back to 'show on main display'... the spacebar worked again... then I switched back to showing the viewers on my second display, the original circumstance  (which is definitely my preference)... and so far it is working again.. doesn't seem like anything has been 'fixed', but hopefully this doesn't happen often.
    So thanks to this thread, as I had no idea what to do, and it was getting very annoying.

  • Using the spacebar for starting and stopping a clip does not work

    Hi!
    The spacebar for starting and stopping the playing of a clip in the viewer of a sequence in the timeline has a live of its own. Without changing any setings, it sometimes works, but mostly not. Is there a seeting, I have not figured out yet? While in a session with Final Cut Express, it does not change its behavior. It starts with a working or not working spacebar. The same applies to the arrows to go back and for a frame, or back and for a clip. If the spacebar does not work, the arrows do not work either.

    thanks everybody. But my spacebar and arrow keys still do not work.
    As uggested, I deleted the preferences in the library (which is also what is suggested by fcpbook.com/Misc1.html)
    I am used working with Final Cut for some time now. And just got myself a new iMac and the program. So everything is quite new. I did not change any settings so far.
    The first 2 days everything was fine.
    Then, one day, the spacebar and the arrow key stopped working. Not in the middle of a session, but when I started the FCE new. Inbetween, it worked for some time. Now, the spacebar is gone again.
    It's just the function of playing the clip that does not work. In whatever window (timeline, viewer). The function of the spacebar to make a space (for example in te name of clip or in a text file) works fine.
    I would not mind the spacebar that much, but I miss the arrow keys to go from frame to frame, or from clip. It's strange.

  • Tecra S1 video out does not work

    Hi,
    I tried to connect my TS1 via cinch to a beamer. Unfortunately because of other reasons I can not use VGA.
    However I do not get any signal at all. I tried nearly everything. I installed Windows XP with Toshiba Recovery CDs again, but it does not work either.
    Is there anyone knowing what to do?
    Best wishes,
    Markus924

    hi Markus924,
    do you have a picture on the internal lcd?
    via chinch to a beamer - this wont work...
    you get a pal/ntsc signal from this connector.. i am not sure if your beamer can handle this sort of signal...
    take a vga cable to try *and* install the "fn-f5" tool from toshiba to switch the picure to external display.

  • Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004 Video Update does not work

    When I import an MPEG video into Flash MX 2004 Pro, it works
    every time except when I try to edit the video and create mulitiple
    clips. If I try to create clips, it lets me go through the import
    process, right up to when I click Finish. When I click Finish, it
    just goes back to the first Import Screen (where it asks whether
    you want to import the whole video or edit it first). It does not
    import the video at all. This seems like it is an obvious bug. I
    have tried installing the Macromedia Flash MX Professional 2004
    Video Update and that does not help. I'm on a Windows XP machine
    with Flash MX 2004 Pro v. 7.2. Thanks in advance for any help.
    Kurt

    I'm on a Mac and don't had this problem. But I do watch for
    video issues on this site and haven't seen this – I might
    have missed a few, but most Flash users are on Windows so I think
    it would be common if it were something wrong with Flash in
    general.
    Then again, what do I know? Because the more I'm thinking
    about it the more I think I might have had this problem. But I
    really can't remember. And sorry to say the solution was to not use
    the import function to edit my videos.
    You also might want to just see if it is the format of the
    file you are importing. Perhaps a different source will work
    better? I'm just grasping at straws here.
    If you have many of these to do and a budget I suggest
    getting a third party tool like Squeeze. Otherwise if you have some
    third party editor you might want to use that.
    Good luck!

  • Video capture does not work Java 1.5 or 1.6

    I could not run jmstudio on 1.5, but on 1.6 I could, and jmregistry says there is a device with a Locator "v4l://0" and jmstudio can display the video. Yet my old program that worked with Java 1.4 can not now capture the video any more, createDataSource(locator) in the code:
    locator = MediaLocator("v4l://0");
    source = javax.media.Manager.createDataSource(locator);
    throws NoDataSourceException, that says something about "Could not configure video device". Is the code bad? Or is there something other broken? JMFHOME is set correctly.

    Where is your jmf.properties file? Do you have the performance pack installed?
    Does JMStudio work. (if you're on linux w/ java 5.0 use: java -Dawt.toolkit=sun.awt.motif.MToolkit JMStudio)
    My bet is that you don't have jmf.properties in your current dir or the camera hasn't been added to your properties.
    Another idea:
    try this before your code:
    try {
        Class.forName("V4LAuto").newInstance();
    } catch(Exception e) {}in order to autodetect the camera.
    Peace

  • Premiere Elements 7: track matte key video effect does not work?

    I want to use the track matte key video effect to fade out some cropped video clips. So I did a test:
    first track: video clip
    second track: PNG file, black with white circle
    third track: video clip with FX with second track (here: Video 5) and luminance
    As you can see in the picture the small preview pic above the effects shows the effect like I expected: a circle with the content of the third, lowest, clip. But the large video preview shows the first clip.
    What did I do wrong?
    I tested other settings and track orders. No efforts.

    Bill, thanks again for your help! Good tutorial. That's what I need in principle! My try was a bit more complicated ...
    But I can't help. The white area stays (see screenshot top left corner). Only some of the small blurred area around the shape shines through as I could see playing around without blurring the video clip.
    I used:
    title with white (it is 100% white) shape and blur effect above
    video clip with track matte effect and matte alpha on the title track, reversed (blur effect on whole clip like in the tutorial)
    Rendering and export does not change anything.
    I'm feeling a bit stupid.
