Movie won't save correctly??

The past two weeks, either my imovie 09 or my macbook pro has not been able to correctly save my movies. When i edit the movies, it is perfectly fine. When I export the movies (to desktop, flashdrive, youtube, etc.) and play them back... about half way through the movie, the audio is about 10 sec. before the movie. So, everything is off! It seems to "lag". I do a news show for a class and this is not acceptable. I need to fix my imovie or at least know what the problem is so someone else can fix it?? Like I said, it has only been doing this for about two weeks. It's extremely irritating and I'm about to just take my mac to a store. Advice? Ideas of what is going on? Same problem? Let me know, please!

yeah, that could be the reason! i use tons of speed changes and audio voiceovers. and when i use the speed changes, i set them not using the pre-set speeds. is there any way possible that it can still play right using the speeds that i want and not the pre-set speeds? because it looks perfect! lol. i will change the speeds and see if it works, though.

JSFL reg point move does not save correctly

I have come across an issue in flash pro while using commands written in jsfl.
I have a jsfl command that moves registration points on a selected library instance. A snippit of the command that does the moving is:
fl.getDocumentDOM().enterEditMode('inPlace');
var ele = fl.getDocumentDOM().getTimeline().layers[0].frames[0].elements[0];
ele.x = 0;
ele.y = 0;
ele.x = -ele.left;
ele.y = -ele.top;
ele.x += newRegX;
ele.y += newRegY;
fl.getDocumentDOM().exitEditMode();
After running the command everything looks good. The reg point has been moved to where I want it to be.
However, if I save and reload the fla the registration points show back up where they were before the move command.
It seems like the jsfl move values are not being saved correctly. Is this something others have seen before? Is there a fix to this issue?
Thanks.

Yes I have also found the saving bug when messing with the transform point and jsfl.
I was trying to move the registration point to the current transform point.
First version of the code it all worked fine but after saving and opening again only the first frame had moved.
Second version of the code I went through all the frames and selected then deselected all alements on each frame - this seemed to fixed the issue. - manually doing it did.
However I then noticed I was still haveing some issues - this could be fixed by manually entering the symbol and moving the transform point - saving and opening then worked.
I could not however do that step with code (well I could but it didnt fix the issue)
Am Going to look for other thisng that might help - adding a new layer - or something that will force flash to realise that things have changed.
But this is definately a flash bug - when everything looks and works fine but the reverts to something else after a save and reopen - suggests a much larger bug with saving.

Red eye reduction won't save corrections

I have tried numerous to save changes of red eye reduction on a certain photo.
The correction is made but when I click the "Done" button the change is not saved and the original photo with red eye remains. It seems to work fine with all other photos here to fore.
What is the problem?
Thanks

Quicktime Dance movies won't load correctly - here is a link - please help

Hello,
Finally got the project to this point . . .
I could not figure out the html ActiveXcoding Apple recommended in for our QT movies, so I hired a guy to code it for me - but the movies will not play (for me)
correctly . . . . he says they play fine on his end.
First - it Automatically starts playing - and I don't want it to - he says he doesn't know how to stop it. Could someone please explain how to stop it from Autoplaying?
The movie loads and plays with HORRIBLE flickering, and when it's done playing - it makes the page RE-LOAD with just the movie, no navigation, no nothing.
I've only loaded the "real-time", and "Slow-Motion" videos on numbers 11, and 16.
Here is a link to the Index page - click on the "Play" links for Real time and
slow motion, and can go "next" to advance to next move number 16:
http://videodance.com/freevideos/freedance_moves/011/sidx011.html
(this index page doesn't have the Flash engine ready yet - that's the black
square on the page)
You will notice that on both of the .html pages (for real-time and slow-motion)
that one of the files it points to is called "AC_RunActiveContent2.js" - this
2 was added at the end because I didn't want it to conflict with the Flash developers "AC_RunActiveContent.js" page he uses (in case there were differences in coding)
I've spent HOURS & HOURS trying to figure it out . . . I admit to not being as smart as you all, that's why I hired him . . . now what can I do?
Please, if you will and have the chance - check out the pages and movies - and see if you have any suggestions on why it is messing up bad.
(I'm using a Macintosh = firefox 2.0.16, and Safari 3.0.4) He is on windows (both firefox and Safari - says they play fine)
How do the deliver for you . . . anyone with Windows please check them out if
you will.
Really appreciate any help or direction you may offer!
Kind regards,

Sloppy html coding in the page:
<embed src="011s.mov" width="640" height="496"> is the only thing that points to your file and it is very out of date.
Basic issues is that it will not even work with Internet Explorer because it give no instructions for the QuickTime browser plug-in.
http://developer.apple.com/internet/ieembedprep.html for proper code that works with every Web browser. autoplay="false" would require the page visitor to click the "play" button. Removing the "href" link to the source file would stop a click from loading the file in its own window.

IMovie movie won't preview correctly in iDVD

I made an iMovie project, it's under 120 minutes, I then shared and sent my movie to iDVD, a new iDVD project opened up with my movie in it. I went in the STATUS option and it said 3.9 of 4.0 GB used. The movie is shown in the same STATUS tab, underneath Background Encoding, and underneath "asset" it shows the project, "Alaska.mov" and the status bar is empty. When I hit preview, and then play the movie, the audio sounds like an airplane or something, but the visual is there, just slowed down. Why is this happening? How will I get my movie to be played in iDVD, then eventually burned?

Check your camcorder to see if you've got 16 bit or 12 bit audio as your starting point.
Go back to your iMovie project select everything in the timeline and use the command "extract audio." Then save. Then re-open iDVD. It should ask if you want to update the project since you've changed your movie. Choose yes.
See if this helps.

New workspace won't save correctly in Bridge CS4

I have been trying to save a new workspace with just the preview panel showing. When I use Windows>Workspace>New workspace, it saves to the name I give it, but the panels go back to the default (Essentials) configuration.
Any ideas please?
Thanks

Thanks - that almost worked. It certainly let me change the configuration of the windows, but I can't get to hide the content window. It insists on showing 3 thumbnials in width...

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

QT won't save movies, exported jpegs won't open.

I am running the latest version of QT pro on my PC, windows XP. When editing a movie clip, I can edit to my heart's content, but when I go to save it, QT won't save it. It acts like it saves, but it doesn't.
Also, when I export a movie to picture, the resulting image is useless. Photohop can't open it. Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can't open it...nothing works. In Windows Picure and Fax viewer (for the jpeg), I get the error message, "No review available." In photoshop (for the jpeg), the error message is: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid jpeg marker is found." When I try to open the pct file in Photoshop, it says," Could not complete your request beause the PICT file is too complex to open on this computer. Photoahop Windows supports raster PICT files only." I have a GIG of ram and the PICT file is only 65 KB. I have tried using various joeg settings, exporting as a PNG file... nothing works. What's up?
I bought Quicktime speciically for these two functions, and neither one of them works. I have Quicktime on a mac at home and it works fine.
Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Looks like the update has wreaked havoc (who uses that expression nowadays, anyway?) on your PRAM settings. You can try and reset them: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379

QTPro Could not save file "The movie contains an in correct time value"

QT Pro 7.6.6 Could not save file “The movie contains an in correct time value”
I’m exporting files out of Priemer Pro CS5 with the H.264 “vimeo HD settings” .mp4 files and the files look dull, low contrast and low color saturation, when played in QT10. From what I’ve read it’s a gamma problem with QT10. I also hear the files from FCP have the same problem, so it's not a Premiere Pro problem.
The fix is to open the file in QT Pro, adjust the blend in the video track and re-save, however I try to save the file I get an error that says “The movie contains an in correct time value”
Will QT Pro 7.6.6 allow me to save my file to .mp4 or only .mov files
I’m on a MacPro 12 Core with 14gb memory
OS 10.6.5
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Mark

Will QT Pro 7.6.6 allow me to save my file to .mp4 or only .mov files
The "Save As..." option always saves a copy of the data to an MOV file container. Minor property changes will allow your to use the "Save" option which stores only the changed properties to the same file in its original file container. Unfortunately, major changes will automatically invoke the "Save As..." routines even though you selected the "Save" option. If you must place the content in an MP4 file container, you can use the "Save As..." option in QT Streamclip to re-save the "fixed" MOV file to an MP4 file container. However, note that extraneous track content may, if present, not be carried over to the MP4 container.

IOS 8 won't save red eye corrections

I have iphone 6 and it won't save red eye edits to photos. I make edits, and they show as done. Then click on "done" and the photo reverts back to original. I tried posting to facebook and emailing, and in both cases the original photo is used not the edited one. Very frustrating, to say the least!
Any suggestions?

Boot Camp Assistant Can't Move Files? Image won't save ('resource busy')

I've been trying to set up boot camp and every time I go to partition the drive I get this message:
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
My drive is already set up as an OS Extended (Journaled) volume. I went to try to save a disk image and it won't save b/c it always says resource is busy. Well obviously I need to use the computer to back up it's own hard drive so of course it's busy.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you sure you had enough free space on the drive for the Windows partition you tried to create? Have you tried repairing the drive?
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Premiere Pro won't save my project

My project has been working fine up until a while ago when I tried to save it and the loading bar came up but the yellow loader wouldn't move. It won't save my project and when I click cancel the Premiere Pro simply freezes and then I have to force quit. How do I save my project??

It sounds like you're not doing this correctly.
1. CLOSE Premiere Pro entirely. All projects. The entire Premiere Pro program. Close it down. Completely. Maybe even restart the computer to make sure that Premiere is NOT running.
2. Now, Hold down the Shift+Option keys. Make sure you hold them both down at the same time. You can hold down Shift, first, or you can hold down Option, first, but whatever you do keep holding them down. Together. Keep holding them down.
3. WHILE you're STILL holding down the Shift+Option keys, open Premiere Pro. You can open Premiere Pro any way you wish, just make sure that when you do, you're STILL HOLDING down the Shift AND Option keys. Keep them held down while Premiere opens.
When Premiere opens do you see any of your recent projects in the recent projects list? If you don't, then you've successfully trashed your preferences.

Imovie 5.02 won't save

I have read and searched for the answer to this problem. When I go to save this project that I started last night, it won't save. The capture time is around 43 minutes and 242 clips. If I try to save as, it dumps everything into the trash. I have tried all the potential fixes from permissions to upgraded to 5.02. When I try to save it a message appears about not having perrmission to save to that drive or the drive is locked. Attempted to capture to another drive. It captured but had all the same problems. Both drives are formated properly. Anybody have any ideas.

Dave, is yours an iMovie HD project or iMovie 4? iMovie 4 had a problem where iMovie would sometimes get confused about the project folder permissions.
This workaround is for this error message in iMovie 4: "The project could not be opened, because the folder is locked, or the folder permission are incorrect. If the project is on a CD-ROM, network server, or locked disk, then copy it to your hard drive before opening it. If the project is already on your hard disk, then you may not have permission to modify that folder. Correct the folder permissions and try again."
Here's how to replace the current project folder with a new folder in iMovie 4:
1. In Finder, create a new folder anywhere OTHER THAN inside the old project folder. Name the new folder "Replacement" or something.
2. Create a new folder inside the Replacement folder. Name it "Media".
3. Open the Media folder of the iMovie project, then choose Edit>Select All.
4. Drag all the selected files to the new Media folder.
5. Drag the files inside the iMovie project folder to the Replacement folder.
6. Repeat #2 through #4 for any other folders in the project folder.
You now have a new project folder named Replacement that contains all the files from the original project. Double-click the project file inside Replacement. If the project opens successfully, quit iMovie, rename Replacement to give it the name of your project, and you're done.
If it doesn't open successfully, move the project.mov file that's inside Replacement to some other folder and try again.

Action steps that won't run correctly in PSE 7/8/9 (but did in 4 and 6)

I have a wonderful action that was written to work in PSE 3/4/6. It won't run in PSE 7/8/9. After fooling around for a while, I think I understand why. Adobe changed the way Adjustment Layers are handled. In earlier versions of Photoshop and Elements, Adjustment Layers threw up a modal dialog box. That changed so that Adjustment Layers now appear in the Palette Bin as a palette.
Here a sample of some of the action steps that won't work correctly:
Make adjustment layer
Using: adjustment layer
Type: levels
Set Selection
To: none
Set current layer
To: layer
Name: “Adjustment 1”
Set current layer
To: layer
Mode: luminosity
Stop
Message: “Move gray slider left”
With Continue
Set current adjustment layer
To: levels
In earlier versions of PS and PSE, the way these steps would work is that a new adjustment layer would be created, the dialog box giving the instruction would open, it would be dismissed by clicking "Continue," and then the "Set current adjustment layer to: Levels" would generate a model adjustment layer dialog box would open up which would let one make the adjustment.
In newer versions, since Adjustment Layers are handled in the Palette Bin, after dismissing the instructions, the action doesn't stop to allow the user to make change the sliders on the adjustment layer.
The action runs perfectly in CS4 and CS5 and throws up the levels adjustment modal box as it did in PSE 4 and PSE 6, but the action doesn't throw the modal box in PSE 7/8/9
Does anyone know of a way to alter the action steps to allow the action to stop to allow the adjustment and then to resume again?

Adding a new levels adjustment layer on top of the Midtone contrast layer
should work, just use a clipping mask to restrict the adjustments to the
areas of the levels adjustment layer below. The histogram will be different, but
actually testing the action is really the only way to know if that makes any difference.
Replacing the levels adjustment layer is another option, though it requires a few more steps.
The following assumes when the action gets to this point,
the Midtone contrast adjustment layer is the active (selected) layer.
To record this part of the action:
1. Duplicate current channel (in the channels panel. drag the Midtone contrast mask
    down to the Create new channel icon at the bottom of the channels panel)
2. Ctrl+click on the newly created channel (Midtone contrast mask copy)
    This loads the selection of that channel.
3. Drag the new channel (midtone contrast mask copy) to the trash icon at the bottom
   of the channels panel.
4. Back in the layers panel, delete the Midtone Contrast adjustment layer.
5. Go to Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels
    This creates a new levels adjustment layer using the selection loaded from
    the duplicated channel and opens the levels dialog.
To load the RGB (composite) as a selection, Ctrl+click on the rgb in the channels panel
and the same is true for the red, green and blue channels.
With layer masks, elements doesn't seem to want to load them as selections in actions,
so that's the reason for the action steps above.
