Keynote freezes during export of slideshow to iDVD

Upon sending a Keynote presentation to iDVD, the processing of the Quicktime Movie freezes up about 2/3 thru the show.  Have not run into this before and I've made many slideshows and videos using Keynote and have sent them to iDVD.  Have tried pulling the slide that the file freezes at but then it locks up at the next slide.  Don't want to start over as I'm pressed for time.  Also, not sure that it won't occur again.

Hi Louis,
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.
Or...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • How do I stop video freezing during export?

    Video freezes during export to DV camera from imovie HD. Tried updating OS to combined version for 10.3.9. Installed latest updater for imovie 5 with no difference. Can anyone suggest any other solutions?
    Chris

    Chris,
    I found a solution to the freezing problem in one of the answers to another problem here on the discussion forum.
    It solved my problem and it might be helpful to you.
    Convert your iMovie video into a QT film with the same quality (I have a dutch version of iMovie HD, so I don't know the exact menu-wording. Something like >Slect>share).
    Import this QT film into a NEW iMovie project.
    Then export to your camcorder.
    It took my Mac almost 11/2 hour to convert the video to QT (55minutes movie).
    But in the end, it worked.
    I'm no expert, but I think it has to do with the mutilations caused by adding titles, cutting, audio additions etc. which are imparted on the document.
    The original video that frooze was 17.1 GB. The successful copy only 13.6GB.
    Good luck

  • TS3649 Suddenly i can't export iPhoto slideshows to iDVD after upgrading to 10.8.2   I get the message "CouldNotCreateTmpDir"  What do i do to overcome this problem?

    Suddenly i can't export iPhoto slideshows to iDVD after upgrading to 10.8.2   I get the message "CouldNotCreateTmpDir"  What do i do to overcome this problem?  I've been making slideshows for ages using iPhoto and iDVD and it's suddenly stopped. Urgent help needed.

    Are you saying that you cannot export a slideshow from iPhoto to the Desktop and then drag it from the Desktop (or the Movie frolder where it can be stored) into an open iDVD menu window?
    Export the slideshow at the large or medium size:
    They drag the movie file into the open iDVD window.  NOTE: do not move the movie file once it's been added to iDVD. That's why it should be placed in folder where you intend to keep it permanently or at least until the iDVD project is completed and burned to a disk image and then to disk.

  • Best way to export imovie slideshow to idvd?

    I've built an 8 min. slide show in imovie with transitions between stills and music too.
    What is the best way to get it into idvd to watch on regular tv. I want a good quality. It looks great on my computer in imovie, how do i finish the final step?
    I am using Leopard and imovie '09.
    Under the SHARE menu I see a few export options and am not sure which one to use?
    Thanks

    My advice would be to do some trial runs. I have used the process AppleMan suggested with good success. I have also saved from iDVD as a disc image and created a DVD by burning using disk utility. That process yields a good final product too. Currently, I am working on a project that is about 6 minutes long including still photos, music, sound effects and titles. I did a test by exporting the slideshow movie to the desktop, opening iDVD and dropping it in and burning from there. Of all the methods I have tried, that one has given me the sharpest, brightest images. So for now, that is the process I am using. Good luck.

  • IMovie freezes during export

    I am trying to export a movie that I made and IMovie just freezes during the export. I have tried to export it in different ways. I am new to Macs and Imovie in general so any help would be appreciated.

    I have 486 Gigs of free space. THe movie clips are only about 4-5 minutes a piece. They have audio, video, and pictures in the movie. They play fine on my computer, but I would like to export them to email to people.

  • Idvd keeps freezing during burn of slideshow

    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Can be a zillion things. Please tell what You've done - It's so very hard to guess.
    • Can it be so that there are more than 99 photos per SlideShow - iDVD limit
    • Free space on Start-Up hard disk. Less than 25Gb free space ?
    • photos used of a strange format as .bmp etc.
    • audio used in a strange format as .mp3, .wma etc
    • Does it freez - in iDVD test mode - or while burning DVD - or when DVD is played
    • DVD brand used
    • DVD type used
    • Burn speed - set down to ?
    And many many more things need to be asked if You don't share a step by step description on what You've done to help us understand where it went wrong.

  • Media Encoder cc (2014) freezes during export

    I have re-installed AME with no luck.  I'm using AME as a direct export from Premier CC.  I'm getting the same results from 2 PC's.  Sometimes if freezes at 20%, sometimes at 50%....Using AMD r9 290x video cards.

  • Movie freezes during export to Camera

    I am trying to export my imovie to a sony video camera. I have done this before with my boyfriends mac and imovie, and that worked - I know that the camera and firewire work. I have the newer version of imovie, does that make a difference? Imovie begins to play my movie and the camera records. About 5 minutes into it the movie freezes and the camera keeps recording that image until I stop it. It freezes at different times each try, but all toward the beginning.
    Help!!

    hi rtrusty - welcome to the forum!
    Maybe you are running really low on storage space, or maybe you have several other programmes open while you are sharing to camera? Or is the project stored on an external hard drive - if so, is it correctly formatted for Macs - Mac OS Extended?

  • AME freeze during export from premiere

    Hi, I have the same problems by using AME since CS 5.5... now I have AME CC 2014 but the problem is the same.MAC OSX
    I'm on MAC PRO OSX 64GB Ram, 2CPU XEON, 2 Graphic card AMD Fire Pro 700 2 x 6GB.
    When I export from premiere using adobe media encoder, and setting OPEN CL HW acceleration, some times it freeze and i have to restart the mac pro forcing it.
    The only way to export is disable GPU but it needs longer time to do the compression.
    I want to use GPU OPENCL, i bought this macpro with 2 graphic card so I want the faster way to compress... how to do?
    I noted that the problems happen when the project has big images inside such as more then 3000px width.
    The strange thing is that if i compress the same project on a windows OS, with CUDA NVIDIA card (2GB) it works...
    I understood that with the new AME release (CC 2014) this problem was solved but i see not.
    Pls let me know
    Thanks

  • Premiere CC 2014 Freezing during Export

    Hey everyone, I tried to look for a post of this issue, but none seem to be quite the same as this. Whenever I go to export my file, my entire system locks up. I've tried leaving it for upwards of 40 minutes and it does not come back. The very few times I have gotten it to export, it goes smoothly, within 5 minutes or so.
    I have just last week updated my Premiere CC to the most current update (8.0.0 (169) build).
    I am running Windows 7 Professional
    the source files are .MOV, but I apologize that's about as much info as I know how to give on that right now.
    I am not getting any error message, the system is simply locking up. When I reenter the program after rebooting my system, I do get a failure to launch the program. After that I am able to get back in.
    I have tried multiple types of files to export to, and switched up settings as well.
    This has worked only twice. 98% failure rate, I'd say at this point.
    I have tried while running only Premiere, and I have tried with Chrome open, as well as some other software.
    I am using an AMD Radeon R7 200 series graphics card
    i have a dedicated 5.9 GB of RAM for Premiere to use
    I have an AMD FX-8350 Processor
    if anyone can shed some light on this situation it would be fantastic. My free trial is almost up, and if I can't get this to work, I obviously will not be subscribing to the CC services.
    Thanks.
    and please let me know if there is anymore information I should provide!

    Do you have a utility to check your computer temperatures?

  • IDVD freezing during burn process

    I was trying to burn my DVD project onto a disc and iDVD kept freezing during the middle of it. It just so happened to always freeze during step 2 of the process, but Im not sure if that is just a coincidence or not. Any suggestions at how to get the program to burn my project without freezing up in the middle ?
    Thanks
    I am using iDVD 4

    Thanks dispatx.com, that page was of immense help. I found much of it very encouraging simply knowing that someone has gone through the exact same thing, missing deadlines, sleep, etc.
    I gathered as much info as I could and have successfully burned a DVD image now using the "Easter Egg" hurz & pfurz. Why doesn't apple include that in the program?
    I cleaned up my powerbook prior to burning with OnyX. I trashed the iDVD preferences. I created a new project in iDVD using the same footage I had exported from FCP as QT movies, not self contained. I included songs I downloaded from the iTunes store (debunking the myth that the protected songs foul up the burning process). I held down ctrl and clicked burn, named the image, and then it went to work.
    Timeline:
    6:00am started step 1, 10 secondes later, step 2 begins.
    9:00 Step 3, Asset Encoding begins (Hallelujah, I never could get to this step)
    9:50 Step 4 begins, mulitplexing
    10:20 Image is ready and iDVD is asking me to name the image again, I finally figured out this gives me the option of burning several copies, I did and it only took another 15 minutes to create another image instead of starting the whole process over again.
    10:40 I drop it into disk utility and burn a 3.7 GB DVD in 20 minutes.
    Oliver Luker accurately observes and records CPU usage at each of the steps so that helped me know NOT to cancel even when Activity monitor showed iDVD as not responding.
    I went with best performance because too many people were reporting over 60 minutes and best quality as not working well, and I need this DVD done. I had an extras section in the DVD that I yanked. But I don't understand why we are limited to less than 60 minutes. This angers me a bit and I'm determined to find a way to have a good looking DVD with over 60 minutes of footage that will burn through iDVD. I don't want to buy DVDSP, yet.
    Good luck everyone.

  • Aperture 3 slideshow to iDVD to blank DVD:  export commands seem contradictory

    This problem is actually related to Aperture v3.3.2 and iDVD v7.1.2 and my previous attempt (11/14/2014) to create a preliminary slideshow (with captions and music track) on Aperture that when completed can be exported to iDVD and then in its final form to a blank DVD.  Now I’m trying to use tutorials.  The problem is when I pull up iDVD webpage, the pop-up tutorial window is unpredictable. The four project buttons (“Create a New Project”, “Open an Existing Project”, “Magic iDVD”, “OneStep DVD”) are okay, opening to the expected start window.  But the long button named “Video Tutorials” is inert and doesn’t do anything except to open to a standard “Apple – Mac: iMac” sales window. Has Apple decommissioned that button because of changed iDVD status?  I think I need those tutorials to finish my iDVD project. Otherwise, I’ll have to use my 2009 “iMovie ’09 & iDVD Portable Genius” manual, which is okay, but I want to at least try the tutorial route before I exhaust all options.
    Two members of the Aperture help community have already been kind enough to offer helpful suggestions to my earlier posting on the problem, but iDVD doesn’t seem to be intuitive enough to benefit from work-arounds.  The “Getting Started” PDF off the iDVD Help pull-down seems promising (35 pages), but the “Video Tutorials” is useless.  It opens to a standard “Apple – Mac: OS X Yosemite” sales window.
    I understand that Apple hasn’t supported iDVD for quite awhile, but any help will be greatly appreciated. A.Z.

    I don't use Aperture so don't know if it can export a slideshow as iPhoto does.  But if it can here's how it's done with iPhoto:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.   For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p as the size.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
    Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image  menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
    To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
    Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

  • IDVD freezes during buring

    More that 50% of the time my iDVD freezes during the burning process ruining a blank DVD. Then in freezes out my computer. I have taken it to the Apple store and they run some diagnostics on it get it to work in the store and when I come home the problem starts up again.
    Help Please!

    Could be that your burner is overheating or you don't have enough free disk space to burn a disk. You need at least 5GB to burn. If the burner is overheating, you might try resting the computer for 3-4 hours before attempting a burn. Or maybe running a DVD drive cleaner through it. Might be a simple maintenance issue with the burner or hard drive.
    I suppose that you have tried the oft recommended closing down of iDVD and trashing the com.apple.iDVD file located in user/library/preferences, and repairng disk permissions through the disk utility app.
    What media are you using? Verbatim or Maxell DVD-R are recommended.
    Try burning from a disk image using the disk utility app, at a speed of 4x or lower.
    I have no other suggestions beyond recreating the project and/or burning with different media at a slower speed.

  • Elements 10 project slideshow freezes during output

    Elements 10 project slideshow freezes during output.  When writing to CD it freezes about 70%.  When output to hard drive is selected, it freezes around 39%.  This is a show I have been working on for a few days.  It has been working but can no longer use the output feature.
    O/S:  Windows 7
    I downloaded the trial of Premiere and the show outputs without any problems.  I don't really want to buy another program.  Can anyone think of a solution?

    a lot of that didn’t apply and I’m not tech savvy enough to figure the rest out... but. I uninstalled elements and elements premier, I didn’t realize this allows you to de-activate as part of the uninstall process, in e9 I de-activated from the toolbar. I saved my projects folder from my catalog to a disk. When I re-installed everything and loaded my projects I was able to open my slide show. I also “refreshed” my Windows 8 because it was having problems as well.
      I attempted to save the slide show as WMV again and again if failed, halfway through playback it froze and kept flickering. This slide show is only 4 minutes long with around 30 photos. I had used a different transition between each photo, I changed all but 2 to fade, this time it worked perfectly. I’m strictly an amateur, learning as I go, I intend to watch tutorials and learn more, but does it say anywhere that using multiple transitions in a slideshow can result in problems? I can’t believe it is my PC, I am using a 2 month old Dell XPS 8500 Special Edition, i7 3rd gen., 32Gb memory, Bluray burner, Radeon 7870 graphics with Windows 8, every driver is up to date.
    Thanks for your assistance. Darryl
