"Old Black and White" filter does not play once rendered

Hi,
If I apply the Old Black and White filter to a clip, the effected clip does not get played in the timeline. Instead, iMovie skips right past it and on to the clip immediately following the effected clip.
The effect does seem to be applied (the red progress bar moves along and it previews ok too), although the clip thumbnail is totally black instead of displaying the first frame of the modified clip. And, the clip object appears in the timeline (in both clip view and time view). iMovie just won't play it.
I've tried the effect on different clips in the timeline, same result. Also, I've exported the clip by itself, reimported it, and then applied the effect, same result. I can reproduce the problem on three workstations.
Has anyone heard of this problem?
Thanks for your help,
Glenn

Hello Glenn and Karsten.
I was interested so I tested this on a couple of my videos using my G5 DP Mac and iMovie HD 3.0.3 (267.2)
Every rendered Old Black and White filtered clip I tried played properly, whether in time or clip view and whether full-screen or in the edit window. No problem here.
Glenn can replicate the issue on three workstations. Are these workstations all accessing the same server for iMovie HD?

Music and voice over does not play in iMovie

Music and voice-over does not play in iMovie

I am having the same problem with my iTunes. Support had me uninstall everything and reinstall iTunes again thinking it was corrupt. I did that and it worked for a couple of days. Now they say that cannot help since it is iTunes and not my iPhone and sent me here. Sometimes I can get it to work sporadically if I reboot my laptop a couple of times, but I have rebooted a few times already and nothing plays...no song previews, nothing from my library. iPods and iPhone play fine, it is isolated only to iTunes and is super frustrating. I get the same task bar up top as if it were going to play, but the play timer doesn't start. Help please!!!

Black and White Filter

Hello!
Is there anyway to apply a black and white filter over all the elements of a Group in Flex 4, please?

Hi,
below is the solution for you problem.Origionally all spark componets are having their label and text in red color.
But when you added these three lines inside the spark group all the elements becomes Black and White.
<s:filters>
                <s:ColorMatrixFilter id="cmf" matrix="{bwMatrix}" />
</s:filters>
So If you want to see them in origional color then comment these three lines.
Hope you will like it. Let me know if you have any issue.Below is code.

After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery. I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

Touching up old black and white yearbook photos

Hi all! I've been tasked with scanning photos from an old high school yearbook and making the images look a bit better. They are obviously already printed and black and white and somewhat fuzzy. I looked online for some type of tutorial, but didn't find anything. Obviously my client doesn't expect a miracle, but if I could fix up the photos just a bit, that would be great. Any links to tutorials and/or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
julie

If you post a sample image from the Yearbook and make specific reference to what you would like enhanced perhaps we can offer more specific directions. For starters, without knowing the screen fineness of the printed halftones, there is little we can advise at this point other than to suggest that if you have not done the scans yet, scan the sample image once vertically and once angled at 30 degrees on the scanner and see whether there is a difference in results. Also, try more than one scan ppi setting. Last, tell us your plan: final image size and use: web or print. Good luck.

Importing OLD black and white videotape - please help!

Hello!
I have imported many VHS tapes with a setup that includes iMovie HD '06 and a sony miniDV camera set to pass-through video. Quality of course limited by VHS tape source but problem importing a black and white VHS tape has me stumped. The black and white tape was actually dubbed years ago from reel-to-reel sony videotape, though I don't think that should matter:
Tape is a high-contrast outdoor scene and occasionally when less contrasted imported picture is watchable but mostly plagued by bands of light and dark. The really weird thing is that simultaneously with importing footage with the contrast bands the TV hooked up to the VCR shows a good, watchable picture! Something in the conversion must be astray - though same setup works fine for color (and in fact imports TV channel that VCR is set to when tape is not playing). I have a feeling that this is problem with some compensatory mechanism in camera that attempts to dampen the contrast and overcompensates - sort of like Macrovision works (my limited understanding of it, anyway!). Importantly, the picture on the camcorder shows the same artifacts. Anyone with any ideas? Would getting an S-Video player help (I couldn't find one a while back when I bought this VCR for dubbing purposes)? Any help appreciated! -Bob

It may be that your "black and white" tape is a copy of a tape of another TV system, e.g; it's a PAL recording of a French SECAM tape, or it's a US NTSC tape.
In other words, because it's a copy of an original of a different system, the colour information isn't reproducible.
iMovie may thus be confused about what it's supposed to be importing.
This is suggested because you say that "..the TV hooked up to the VCR shows a good, watchable picture!.." ..If it's a multi-standard TV which can display PAL, SECAM and NTSC, and it's a multi-standard VCR, then it may be showing you a reasonable copy of the original, but iMovie isn't automatically multi-standard (..you have to choose PAL or NTSC when starting a project..) and so it's caught between two systems. Why not see if you get any better result by changing the default standard (PAL or NTSC; 25fps or 30fps) and then starting a new project?
If you're in Euro-PAL land, and you can manage to find and borrow an NTSC player, and import through an NTSC camcorder (..or the other way round, depending on where you are..) you might see if that can play the tape correctly.

Black and White With Color Not Working

I am trying to have the background of my image black and white with the person in color. I turned black and white on then tried brushing black and white away from the person. Instead of the full, vibrant color coming back it was a dull color. Instead, I tried turning black and white off then brushing black and white into the background. This time, instead of being pure black and white it was black and white with an obvious hint of color. I have watched plenty of tutorials and know that it is possible to have it be pure black and white in the background with the person in front appearing in full vibrant color. I just don't know what I am doing wrong that either my vibrant color is looking washed out in one method or my black and white isn't pure black and white in the other method. When I first turn black and white on the image does go to pure black and white. Any suggestions?

See what happens after re-booting.
Is "Brush Range" set to "All"?
Try the same adjustments on another Image.
Try the "Color Monochrome" adjustment and see if it works as expected when brushed in/brushed away.

Seriously, it is most likely just a download problem. You can delete the bad copy from your library, and then download a fresh copy at no cost by following this guide:

How to colorize and old black and white video? please suggest easy ways :)

1- please tell me more than a way of how to colorize the black and white movie ..!
what is the best way to do that in less time as possible (actually i found it a hard work ). please tell me there's a way to make it
2- also i want to know if there is a palette of color value numbers . let me make it more understandable
when i applied the color balance effect on an adjustment layer (using AE) to have a try to color a frame, i got the RGB values to control by which the color i want. so i found it a little hard to get far a way from the orange , purple , green , pink , red , gray and blue colors via combining the values .. so i am asking if there is a palette that could help me to mix color values and get more colors!!!
3- what programs could do this? i have an idea that after effects could do it but what else?

Here's a step by step and a few other ideas. To add color to a black and white film it is best to use the Color blend mode. AE CC 2014 has very powerful mask tracking which can be used to isolate things like faces and clothing. A bit of hand work may also be required. For some scenes, you'll need to use RotoBrush to isolate the elements you want to colorize. You cannot effectively colorize just by manipulating channels unless you want very subtle colors because black and white images may have exactly the same color channel values for a man's shirt that you want to turn blue, the leaves on a tree that you want to turn green or the car he is driving that you want to turn red. You can, however, create a mask that tracks the car and then add a red layer or fill effect using the color blend mode to turn the gray car red and maintain all of the highlights and shadow values.
Really powerful color correction software has the power to isolate and track areas based on edges (much the same way rotobrush works) so this kind of color correction can be done on the fly but it still requires a separate mask for every color you want to add.

No sound on my mac book pro and now itunes does not play or any of my video or music files...

Hi
Can any one help was on the net and all of a sudden my macB pro has no sound and none of my music plays in itunes. went into the system pref under sound it shows that my output is empty and will not un mute1 please help
stuck in iraq1

I did try the PRAM reset several times but it appeared not to be working as when I went into info about my Mac it showed me 0 under Audio built in. I reinstalled the software update Mac os x 10.6.8 V1.1 from the apple site 2 days ago. Everything that was using audio had seemed to crash or not work all audio files, skype and itunes. When I switched on my bluetooth it would pick up my friend's pc and it would show the volume control was un muted and still no sound, I turned off the bluetooth and it would go back to being muted. I gave up and this morning miraculously it started up with sound as soon as I switched it on and everything seems to be working.
Thanks for the help and feed back

Black and white version won't play on YouTube...

I have a project for which a color version (encoded H.264) plays perfectly on You Tube. I have encoded a version in Black & White and uploaded it (H.264 again). The file plays perfectly on my PC (so let's assume I have not uploaded scrap...)
All I get once on YouTube is a corrupted video (can't see anything while video is running. Audio is OK though).
I uploaded it a second time, in case it might have corrupted during upload : same result.
If this can add for an explanation :
1) Original project is done under Premiere CS3, exported (H264 codec) via AME CS3. This version is ok on You Tube.
2) I have then reimported the resulting file (in QT format) as a new project in Premiere CS4. Made the edit to get in B&W. Then exported that project using AME CS4. Here, the resulting QT video has about the same size as the original output under CS3, and it plays correctly on my PC. It is once on You Tube that it becomes unreadable.
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Rob

I have then reimported the resulting file (in QT format)
Don't do that. Never use a compressed delivery file as source for further editing. Go back to the original project and work with the original media.
