Missing video clips, Keynote '09 5.1.1 (build 1034) and OS X 10.6.8

I use keynote quite a bit, and have a collection of perhaps fifty keynote talks written over the past five years.  But a serious problem has surfaced in the past day: if I open any of my keynote files, the VIDEO CLIPS DO NOT SHOW.  I can see the video clip (a static image) in the thumbnail image on the left.  I can also see the placeholder if I put the mouse over the video location on the slide.  But when I "play" the page, I just see a black box where the video should appear, with the usual play and pause buttons, etc.
If someone has experienced this problem, and/or has a solution, I would be grateful.  I have updated my OS on a regular basis, so as far as I know, everything is up-to-date.  It may be that a recent update has caused this; the last time that I looked at some keynote files a few weeks ago, everything was working OK.
(NOTE ADDED TEN MINUTES LATER: PROBLEM "SOLVED" BY SHUTTING DOWN ALL APPLICATIONS AND REBOOTING LAPTOP.)

Step one: DL and reinstall the 10.6.8 v1,1 COMBO update, repair permissions, and restart.
If no go, reinstall Snow Leopard, repair permissions, and restart. If that works, make a bootable backup/clone of this installation, test it, then run Software Update to get back to 10.6.8.

  • Missing Video Clip Audio

    I've made several slide shows with video clips (.MOV), however, I can't get sound from my most recent clips.  The audio works fine if I drag in an earlier clip.  All the .MOV clips (new and old) have audio when played in Elements Organizer.  I'm using version 9 of both Elements and Premier Elements and camera and computer are unchanged.  The only difference I can find in the video clips is a Properties-Metadata listing difference - the clip with working audio lists a DocumentID and has highlighted Video and IPTC; the non-working clip does not list a DocumentID and Audio is highlighted rather than Video and IPTC. I'd appreciate any suggestions on how I might get the audio working with these new video clips.

    Bill,
    Thank you for your reply.
    The video file source is a Panasonic DMC-TZ3 camera I've been using for three years and has been the source for video clips for all my slide shows.
    A typical file is 20MB and Quick Time movie.
    I'm not sure what "Conformation process" is, however I treated the new "bad" files the same as the old "good" files.  Both have audio in Elements9 Organizer; but moved into PrE9 the older "good" file still has audio and the new "bad" file doesn't.  I didn't rush this process and have repeated it several times with the same results.  I also reinstalled Quick Time but no change.
    I'd appreciate any additional guidance you have.
    Best regards,
    Otto

  • HT3775 Why won't a video clip play all the way through without stopping and loading so many times?

    Any video clip that comes via email will not play all the way through without stopping so many times to load that a short clip takes 10 minutes to watch.  Sometimes, the video simply stops and loads forever and ceases to work at all.
    This happens for Youtube videos also.
    I am using a Snow Leopard Imac.

    This happens for Youtube videos also.
    Uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin then reinstall new.
    Very important to uninstall the old first.
    Uninstall >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Then reinstall new from here >   http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Then restart your Mac.

  • Missing video clip icon?

    some movie clips randomly disappear in my library/project, replaced with a black icon with a ? mark on it
    what does this mean, and how do I fix?

    You need to use Log and Transfer...and you choose the TOP level folder.  The one that contains the CONTENTS and LASTCLIP.TXT file.  Don't go digging into the Contents folder to add those to the L&T window.  Choose the root folder.
    This is the workflow:

  • How do I make a photo from a video clip?  I am a new Apple user and am using iMovie 11.

    I have uploaded a video from my digital camera to iMovie.  I want to create a photo from selected frames in the video.  Not sure how to proceed.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

    You can do this with a free App called MPEG Streamclip. For details see this link. Let me know if you get stuck installing MPEG Streamclip.

  • No Sound from Flip video clips on iMac, but works on Mac Pro and Macbook

    I just got a flip video camera today. I tried it out at work, made a quick video, imported it on my mac pro, and it worked fine. I came home took some videos, went on my iMac(24 inch core 2 duo) and was surpised that the videos imported without sound. After searching the web, I didn't find any concrete solutions, just some suggestions that pointed towards codecs. Since nothing worked, I sent the file to my wife's macbook pro to try it out. The same AVI file on her computer plays sound. Now I am totally confused.
    Any ideas?

    The sound is on, and other files and applications play sound.
    In fact, in iMovie 09, there is sound. But there is no sound in quicktime, VLC player, the flipshare software the camera works with, and if I upload to youtube via the iMac there is no sound on the youtube video, but if I upload the file to youtube from the macbook pro, there is sound.
    I don't know what to try next.

    A series of video files (0001.MTS to 0005.MTS) were imported into premiere, when moved to timeline premiere combined them and made them look like one long clip named 0001.MTS. Multiple motion edits and opacity edits were made. When project manager moved the project, the actual video content of 0002.MTS to 0005.MTS was missing(source clips are still there but they were playing and working as part of that 0001.MTS timeline clip before). Those parts of the 0001.MTS clip in the timeline were Danger Striped and can be relinked but now have no edits anymore. The edits are apparently only linked with the original 0001.MTS source clip but extend beyond the actual range of the actual source clip. At the time I thought it was weird that premiere displayed the whole string of clips as one (with one name and no breaks) but it all works in the original project file but cannot be transferred to another location without multiple clips showing Danger Stripes.I need to move it and preserve the dozens of motion and opacity edits linked to the apparently oversized timeline clip. HELP!! any ideas?
    I did not nest any clips or sequences, premiere just seemed to combine the clips under one name when I moved them to timeline.
    I am using CS5.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 Downloader crash with video clips on memory card

    I have a Canon SX30IS. When I use PSE9 to download from memory card, if there are any videos present on the card, the Photo Downloader crashes.
    I believe that it is something to do with Apple Quicktime. When I uninstall Quicktime , PSE downloader does not crash while importing media form this camera,  but cannot play video clips. On reinstalling Quicktime , the PSE downloader crashes while searching the memory card for media.
    I have not upgraded PSE twice now because of this crash. What makes it worse is that Apple Quicktime is a very poor media player, managing about 2FPS on the video clips from this camera when both the Canon and the VLC video codecs can manage 30FPS.
    I would much prefer if I could choose to use a video renderer, like using any available Windows codecs rather than insisting on using annoying Apple software.

    Please let  me know the mode in which camera/card reader is connected to the system (USB/PTP/MTP). This can be determined from camera.
    Please try to follow:
    1. Navigate to: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\PhotoDownloader.exe.
    2. Right click on 'PhotoDownloader.exe' and select 'Properties'.
    3. Naviage to 'compatability' tab and click on 'Run this program in comptability mode for' and select 'win xp service pack 3'.
    4. In the same dialog, click on 'Run this program as an admin' under 'privelage level'.
    5. Now run the: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 9 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe as an administrator.
    Please let me know if you face any issues in following the steps.

  • Embedding Video Clip in premade background

    I'm currently working on making an orientation video from a powerpoint presentation. The client sent the presentation asking us to shoot footage, ebed it where she had specified, then make the whole thing into a DVD with music, voice over, etc.
    Since I can't import a powerpoint presentation into Premiere Pro, I'm now trying to figure out how to make the video clips about a fourth of their original size and have them play on the pre-existing slide (from the powerpoint which I imported with Photoshop).
    Does anyone know how I can do this? Does this question even make sense?
    Any help would be REALLY...helpful. Thanks.

    Make the videos fill size, import them into PowerPoint and resize their display there. Then burn the PP file to DVD for computer playback.
    You may also check out Adobe Presenter 7. It may suit your end goals even better.

  • Is it possible to rotate a video clip in iphoto?  Thanks.

    I recorded a video clip with the camera on it's side and once uploaded to iphoto it found that it was still on it's side and the 'rotate' button at the bottom is not lit up.  Is it possible to rotate?  Thanks, I would appreciate your help!

    No.  You'll need to use Quicktime Player to rotate and export as a new file. It's explained my léonie in this topic: Movie clip rotation

  • Why is a video clip from iphoto not compatible with imovie?

    i have a video clip in iphoto and when i try to add it by dragging it into the videos in imovie, it says "the file will not be imported. it is not compatible with imovie". this video clip was taken with my friend's point and shoot type camera, then put on her computer, then put on a flash drive, then put on my computer. thank you so much for any help!

    Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
    Some "..point and shoot.." cameras create movies in an iMovie-compatible ".mov" format, but others create .avi files, or they record in the MPEG-1 format which iMovie can't unscramble.
    Not all point and shoot movies are compatible with iMovie, even if they play using Apple's QuickTime movie player which iPhoto relies on.
    These non-compatible movies need to be converted to .mov format, or some other compatible format such as DV or AIC, before trying to import them into iMovie. If you have QuickTime Pro, you can just open the movie clips and then use 'Export' to save them in the .mov format.
    ..More details from me - or others - later; I'm dashing out right now for a bite to eat..

  • Video Clips.  Embed them or link them for faster loading?

    Hello All,
    Which method is better for iWeb (making the website load faster): I need to show some short video clips on the site I'm building, so should I embed the clips or just have a link that will redirect you to the site the has the clips (a site like Vimeo.com). Or does that make any difference in the loading time>
    Thanks for your help.
    Mike

    I found the problem with the software. You can not use Acrobat Professional 7.0 with FrameMaker 8.0 or you will not be able to properly Distil the PDF and the video will only be an image of the first frame. You are not able to install the Distiller 8.0 add-on that comes with FrameMaker 8.0 with the Acrobat Professional 7.0 installed. The console error received when creating the PDF is:
    "Save as PDF failed to post-process the PDF file for Flash Data: errors were encountered in the PDF file.
    The PDF file should be intact and usable but may not reflow properly. Check that the destination PDF file is not in use or its permissions, then Save as PDF again. If the problem persists, please contact Adobe Technical Support."
    The fix is to remove Acrobat Professional 7.0 permanently and install the FrameMaker add-on or to upgrade to Professional 8.0

  • Online video clips do not play correctly on all browsers

    I am unable to play video clips at the right speed without them stalling and stuttering. For example, a typical YouTube clip will not play correctly, so the video will stutter and the sound won't play in time with the video.
    This is especially frustrating when wanting to play music video clips as the song will stutter. This happens regardless of browser - Firefox, Safari or Netscape.
    I have a broadband Internet connection but wonder whether I need to adjust speed settings somewhere so sound and music play correctly.
    I have no problems playing songs via iTunes or watching video clips using Quicktime, it's just the embedded video clips on YouTube etc that won't play correctly.
    Any advice much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rob

    Flash video is very CPU intensive, open activity monitor and look at your CPU usage while trying to watch a YouTube video, no doubt it is at 100%.
    Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about this - my 400 Mhz G3 can't handle flash video and by the look of some previous posts on the forum I'd be surprised if any can .

  • Convert Video Clip to Panorama Still?

    Does anyone know of software that can take a video clip that essentially pans from left to right and convert that into a Panorama still picture?
    I am currently using iMovie 5 but I wouldn’t think that would be an issue.
    Thanks

    Hi Bengt,
    Sorry for the slow response to your solution which was not that tedious and not that costly. The video clip was already inside of iMovie. Exporting the clip as full quality results in a dv file which can be opened by MPEG Streamclip. The options there are to Export to Other Formats, then choose Image Sequence.
    The result is one still image per video frame, so a 25 second, 30 frames per second clip results in 750 images. Selecting every 50th one is just about right and PE does the rest.
    The quality is quite good, especially because selecting a single frame from a video clip is difficult to find one that is in good focus.
    Thanks.
