JVC JY-HD10 importing issues with imovie HD 5.02

Greetings. Here is my issue: Imovie sees the camera, can control the camera, but no video or audio is coming through. It used to work just fine but now nothing.
What I have tried: 1) reset the firewire port 2) reset the pram 3) reinstalled imovie, 4) trashed the plists 5) used 5 different firewire cables 6) started up garage band (a suggestion from another post) 7) created a new account to elimated custom apps that may be in the way 8) talked sweetly to my mac 9) threatened my mac with big stick 10) walked away in sadness (using a pc to post this
Anyone have this issue? Any insite to this mystery would be greatly apprieciated.
Cheers,

Hi Emosan
Please! Test Your Camera with another Mac to find out if the problem persists.
Why ?
The faulth that You describes is similar to a most nasty one I provoked to
my Camera (several devices) and it was expencive to repair.
Yes the Camera worked normally when filming(recording)
when play-back to TV (analog)
where controllable by iMovie (forward, backward etc.) BUT JUST A BLUE SCREEN
NO IMPORT or EXPORT
If Your Camera works on another Mac then You need not to worry about this
sad experience.
Please stay in tuch and give feed back.
I have a long list of what to do if the Camera is OK.
Yours Bengt W

  • Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

    Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
    Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
    Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

    Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
    In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?

  • Audio Syncing Issue with iMovie 10.0.1

    As was the case with iMovie 9, there is an issue with the audio syncing properly to the video when uploaded to YouTube. I am wondering if anyone knows of the workaround for the same issue with iMovie 10 (Mavericks)?
    Thanks!

    The bar codes are generated from an online service and are downloaded as vector art in the form of EPS files.I am opening the file in Illustrator after downloading the EPS file. I am not scaling it in any way, it just opens in Illustrator "wrong". "Placing" the file creates the same distorted effect. The EPS file looks fine if I view it in Preview or open it in Photoshop, but I need to use it as vector art.

  • Issues with iMovie 9.0.9 in Yosemite

    Using iMovie 9.0.9 in Yosemite and I am using a late 2009 MacBook.
    Yosemite works fine till i started to use iMovie 9.0.9
    After Launch, then I went to my projects and then it started it spinning and  it would not stop. Then I went to look if I had to force quit it and I did. It said "iMovie not responding" It does it all the time.
    I did not change a thing on this computer except for going to Yosemite 10.10.
    Is there any workaround so that doesn't do this or do we have to wait till Apple fixes it if they ever do?
    Also, When I put in my SD  card  in my SD reader iMovie would not launch it. So I had to go ahead and create a quick time movie and then imported in that way. 
    That was the only workaround I founded be able to use iMovie again to capture video in iMovie 9.0.9.
    HELP!!!!!!

    Im having the same issue with Yosemite, I have old projects from iMovie 9.0.9 that won't open in 10.0.6 and when I try to load a copy of 9.0.9 from my external to my new iMac it won't even copy over. Have a ton of projects i would hate to lose because of this stupid bug.

  • Issues with iMovie in viewing

    I am getting weird playback issues with movies I've added to a project. My movie is like 40 minutes long. When I try to watch the finished product or put finishing touches on it, after hitting space bar the video skimmer moves, but the video preview stays still. I found the video in the library and same thing.
    On a reboot or restart the program it works again normally then acts funky after a few minutes.
    I didn't change my library, it just isn't previewing and I'm frustrated thinking the video is bad or something.
    Has anyone had this buggy issue on previewing a movie in the screen or while skimming in your library or project that the video displays funny.
    Brian

    Ouch. I'm having the same problem. It is VERY annoying. Was hoping for a solution on here.
    I find it is worse when I import 1080p from my camera. When I use 1080p, I can't even adjust the speed of large cuts (60 seconds) because iMovie will just freeze up on playback. Restarting iMovie will revert the clip back to normal speed but the same bug occurs when I try to adjust speed. I find I can break a long clip up into short sections (which makes no sense as iMovie optimizes the entire clip) and adjust speed on 5 second segments without and issue.
    The playback is the most annoying. I don't know if it is worth exporting a movie, which takes time in HD, if it doesn't work on preview.
    ANY fix for this?

  • Stalling issues with iMovie 08 when publishing/exporting. Very frustrating.

    Hello-
    I am having a really hard time with publishing/exporting from iMovie 08'. It hangs or stalls right when it gets to the end of exporting a project. I have the newest update (7.1.2) and it was just freshly installed from the startup discs that came with my macbook pro. The weird thing was that i think before i updated the OS to 10.5.3 i was able to publish projects as I have one that is exported.
    Has anyone else had this problem? I searched the forums and people have issues with it stalling at other places but I didn't come across stalling problems at the same time.
    What can I do to fix this?
    Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hey guys I am really hoping someone can help me with this issue as I am trying to put a DVD together for a group I traveled with and I feel like I have tried everything.
    Has anyone at least the same problem? I just feel frustrated because I spent numerous hours creating 6 projects to put on a DVD and the **** thing won't export to iDVD, Final Cut Express, or anything. I just don't want to lose my work and start from scratch in FCE.
    I paid for this **** product and it should work!
    Are there any programs that will somehow import an iMovie project that hasn't been exported?
    I can't export on any format (avi, quicktime, mpeg4, etc.) and am getting desperate, haha.
    Thank you for any help.

  • Import issue with Lightroom

    I upgraded to LR5.2 2 weeks ago from 4.3. Install went fine, but I'm now having issues when importing my photos, Lightroom hangs partially through the import.  The only choice I have then is to force quit the program, which then freezes my computer.  Getting to be an invredibly frustrating exercise.
    I have an iMac with OSX10.8.5 (Mountain Lion)
    Lightroom 5.2
    Importing & converting CR2 files (5DMkIII) to DNG.
    Images being imported to an external hard drive.
    Nothing has changed in my workflow or software except for the installation of LR5.  I did read in some of the forums that there was import issues that appear to have been fixed with the latest release, however, whilst I DEFINTIELY have the latest release of LR5,  this is still occurring.  Any ideas? Another bug?
    Cheers
    Sarah

    sure did. All permissions are admin & I'm it.  I haven't tried DL via image capture - LR4 gets me to the same end goal, tis just rather onerous to have to muck around with this twice.  Appreciate your taking the time on this 

  • Lightroom 5 auto import issues with nikon d90

    Hoping someone can help answer my question - I am wondering if Lightroom 5 has any issues with the auto import or tethering feature using a Nikon d90? I was using Lightroom 2 and the auto import feature has no issues with my d90. After I installed Lightroom 5 (Cloud App) and ran it for the first time, the first thing I used was the tethering feature and it worked great for 4 shots. I turned my camera off and then back on again and LR would not recognize my camera any longer for tethering. What's strange is that it will detect it for "Importing from Device" option. So, I went to plan two which was to auto import and that wasn't working at all. I am at a loss. I have a shoot coming up this weekend and need for one of these options to work. Any help is appreciated!!!

    I use a D90, but I have never tried tethered shooting with it. Other users might have some suggestions for you, but looking at the list of supported cameras for tethered shooting the D90 is not "officially" supported in Lightroom. So you're probably on your own to find solutions. I know this isn't a lot of help.

  • Serious Issues with iMovie 08

    I just installed iMovie and imported an HD movie tonight from my Sony HDR-HC3 camera and am not having much success...
    The import started fine, but then after it completed I hit Done and it didn't show up anywhere...had to close and then reopen iMovie before the imported event finally showed up...then iMovie is stuck with a spinning beach ball for hours...the video clip is only 20 minutes long. I imported in 'Large' mode...920x540.
    Any ideas? I rebooted, restarted iMovie several times...(had to kill it).
    it is now in an infinite hanging state...never loads up and won't let me click on anything...
    I reimported the clip with iMovie 06 and am in business using that, but would really like to be able to use 08...any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks!

    How do I get iMovie to see a picture added to iPhoto?
    The basic answer is to get them "thumbnailed" for previewing in the "Photo Browser." Unfortunately, there is no obvious switch or button to force a "refresh" of your content. It happened to me early on and I believe I simply created a separate album in iPhoto and moved/copied the "unseen" photos from their main Event or Photo area to the newly created album. This seemed to force them to be seen in iMovie '08 but that was several "upgrades" ago. It may or may not still work for you. On the other hand, you can manually drag and drop the photos from the Finder desktop, folder, or iPhoto application directly to your iMovie '08 project if you wish.

  • Some Audio Issues with Imovie 09

    hey guys,
    when i make my videos with imovie, i mute the sound of the video clip and synchronize the video to music. I dont want the audio from the actual clip to play.
    When i export the video (i select the 'export using quicktime') and watch it in quicktime, there are random bits of audio from the clips (sometimes not even the same clip). It is rather annoying because it really takes away from the intensity of the video.
    I checked through the video, and all the clips that have sound (when watching in quicktime) are indeed muted. when i play the video in IMOVIE there is no random sound but when i play the video in QUICKTIME (the exported video) there are random bits of sound.
    Anyone know how to eliminate this?
    thanks
    -ryan
    Message was edited by: {WALLACE}

    I really don't know, but I suspect it is tricky to eliminate frames or double frames and keep the sound synched. When you stick to a preset, you are eliminating or doubling an integer number of frames. When you do a number like 39%, you have to approximate to achieve that percentage while still being constrained to full frames.. This leads to problems with the synch.
    In Final Cut Pro, you could do this with great flexibility, but it requires a great deal of effort to learn how to use all that flexibility. In iMovie, they provided some sophisticated features, but made the controls pretty vanilla, so they work for the average user. I think in this case, they imply a greater level of flexibility (through the speed slider) than they can deliver.
    Just my opinion. Maybe someone knows the real reason.

  • Keynote export and issues with iMovie import

    I told my PC workers I could do a movie for my job in 1 day. They said no way. And I could easily have done that BUT my MAC is FUBAR on file import from keynote to imovie...
    I have Keynote 08, imovie 08 and QT 7.6.4 and did a simple slide show in Keynote. I tried to export to mp4, H264, and jpeg into imovie and strangely enough....it occasionally works. Many times I cannot select the files to import because they are grayed out. I have tried many things and again it sometimes lets me import. However, after import I get the clips in the event, and they seem fine. But when I drag them into the project they do not play..they just show a frame or they default to the last clip of video and then skip (in the proper time) to the next video. It is like they are there but the video cannot be resolved. The keynote is just text with build in and out effects and simple transitions.
    If I go to Jpeg 2000 or DV (notDVCPAL) they imported OK but were very jagged and severe loss of font quality.
    I do not expect this in MAC products. I cannot understand why keynote has a menu setup to export to everything but iMovie....
    HELP!

    To be clear, the imported video seems to run in the event area. I drag it into the project and it LOOKS like it is OK. And if I drag the cursor over the play area it all appears OK. However, if I hit "play" by itself, as the movie plays it goes fine until it hits the imported keynote section, and here you see the very first frame..and that frame only or nothing....until the next raw video clip (which plays fine).

  • HELP!  Sony miniDVD camera issues with iMovie.

    I have a Sony DVD403 connected to my iMac, trying to bring over movie files to iMovie via USB connection. Apparently Sony records in MPEG format, and I cannot get iMovie or QT Pro to "see" my files....SONY support is no help. Is this Sony camera not supported on Mac? Am I going to have to ditch this $$$ mini DVD camera and invest in a DV camera??? Any and all suggestions welcomed!
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    welcome busy to the  board...
    that "miniDVDcamcorder not supported" is a well discussed issue here, just read a few pages, if you're not too busy doing so...
    a) iMovie is a video edit app meant to work with firewire connected miniDV camcorders
    by concept, no word of DVD... mpeg2 is a delivery format, not meant for further processing...
    b) iM can control cameras just by firewire protocol, not usb
    c) you can import miniDVD content, but...
    d) don't insert miniDVD in slot-in drives => get an ext. dvd drive..
    e) dvd/mpeg2 needs conversion, choose....:
    * DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
    * Apple mpeg2 plugin (20$) + Streamclip (free)
    * Cinematize >60$
    * Mpeg2Works >25$ + Apple plug-in
    * Toast6/7 allows converting to dv/import dvd, hit apple-k
    Am I going to have to ditch this $$$ mini DVD camera and invest in a DV camera?
    best practise, in case you want to use iMovie....
    helpful?

  • Animation codec issue with iMovie 08

    I use the Animation codec a lot as it's a good fit for my workflow.
    However, it seems iMovie 08 has issues exporting movies containing clips with Animation video.
    iMovie will import them without a glitch, they will play perfectly inside iMovie's preview window but when I export the movie, all the Animation-encoded clips will not be rendered. I still have audio, titles and others clips encoded with different codecs but all the Animation part are pitch black.
    Can anyone confirm this bug?

    Check the video rate and the frame rate. See the pattern? Nothing I did would increase data rate or raise frame rate above 1. Looks like a real bug here.

  • FCE Import Issues with 720p resolution (from Panasonic GH1)

    I cannot import 1280x720, 50fps videos from my Panasonic GH1 using the log and transfer window. If I try, the system crashes. Still they play in the preview window. With full HD everything works fine. I would assume that this format is not supported, since it does not show up in the easy setup menu (only 1920x1080 and 1440x1080 available).
    The files imported using iMovie08 can be loaded with no issues. I would assume this is because the have already been converted.
    Does FCE definitively not support import of 1280x720 material or am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks in advanced

    Hi,
    the GH1 shoots full hd 1980x1080 with 25fps (30 for US market). I prefer using 1280x720 (which seems to be AVCHD lite?) with 50fps (60fps for US) which reproduces movement better.
    Imovie09 convert those formats (AVCHD 25fps and AVCHD lite 50fps) to AIC while keeping the original format and frame speed. FCE can import the AIC files at the different formats - this I can see from what FCE is telling me in the browser.
    In FCE I mixed both formats (1080 at 25fps & 720 at 50fps) in a small project and managed to get this exported to 1080 or 720 at different frame rates. I have not yet figured out what how the movie quality compares to each other, but IT WORKS.
    Unless I have forgotten something FCE seems to handle all these formats but crashes as soon as I try to import of 1280x720@50fps files.
    Which in fact brings me back to my question why FCE crashes. With all this capability of handling the different formats I would not have expected a program crash during file import. Which in facts makes me doubt if there still is something wrong....
    I guess I should better start reading the manual.
    Good Luck
