Photo Settings not working

Hi - when I try to edit clip length or Ken Burns effect in the Photo Settings pane, my Preview screen is black, and the changes I try to make don't seem to be applied to the clip. I have tried different clips and tried adding a new clip to the project, but no success. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Thanks

If this problem is restricted to photos that you have added KB effects to, it has been long noted here as a problem. What you are describing usually happens if you empty iMovie's trash after you have placed KB effects on a photo. Because the original photo is now in the trash, iMovie cannot find it to modify the KB settings.
You will have to reimport the photo, and refrain from emptying the trash.
If you have added a title to the photo, that also changes it into a clip, and you cannot modify Photo Settings on a clip.
If you have imported new photos, not emptied the trash and are still encountering the problem, you should trash iMovie's preference file.
Close iMovie. Go to your Home file (YourUseName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. Don't worry; iMovie will create a new fresh one when you relaunch it.
Reopen iMovie and see if it works properly now.
If none of this helps, please post back with more information.

  • IPhone 4 Photos Accelerometer not working

    I just received a new iPhone 4 and the Photos application appears to ignore the accelerometer and is always stuck in portrait mode. All other apps work fine, just Photos is not working. This is a new phone setup, not a restore from a previous phone. I have triple checked that the screen rotation lock is off and I've turned off photo sync in iTunes, deleted all photos and re-synced; it still does not work. Anyone have any ideas?

    1) Press and Hold the Home and Wake Sleep buttons until the Apple Logo appears.
    2) If that doesn't work, try a reset, To reset go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset.
    If it still doesn't work, take it in to an apple store so the expert can test it out.

  • Import of photos is not working. Moreover 'photos' app is not getting closed, it says 'closing all libraries'. Even it is stopping shutdown/restart of my mac.

    Next time you open the photos application hold down both of the keys suggested and then launch the application in the usual way. If you do this you will be presented with the opportunity to repair your library.

  • Photo stream not working after upgrading to maverick please help?

    photo stream not working
    everything slow
    any ideas?

    On your Mac disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

    I would recommend first doing a PRAM reset. You can find instructions for that in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603.
    Please let us know if that works or not, there are several other things you can try.

    Try deleting com.apple.dock.plist from the preference folder located in your user Library.
    You can open the hidden library in Finder's menubar,  Finder > Go > hold the option key down > select Library.
    Edit: you'll have to add back program icons to the dock that you moved there.

  • Compression settings not working on Premiere Pro CC

    I am a freelance editor working for a satellite delivery company. They have specific settings they require for their uplink signals. These setting have worked great on CS5, CS6 and CC2014. However the company is now using CC and these settings create HUGE pixels and the file is unusable. Why do the same settings not work on CC?

    You're welcome.

  • Why does photo stream not work on 4g

    Hi, I have a iPhone and a Mac and an iCloud account, but why does photo stream not work on 4g, but as soon as I connect to wifi, it send photos to photo stream, can please tell why it does not send photos to photo stream when on 4g, thanks.

    The data requirements for sending potentially many photos can be too taxing/costly on a carrier's data plan.

  • HT4906 my i photo is not working how do i fix it?

    Hi Friends,
    I was unable to make DVD, so I went to apple Store and they downloaded Idvd for me, Now I can create DVD, but now i realize my I photo is not working.
    I stay far from Apple Store, and It is not convinient to visit the store again. I am trying to update softwear, but it is not working as the softwear was updated In apple store with support ID, so now If I go for softwear update, it is asking for same support login ID of the store which I do not have and in absense of it I am unable to update I photo.
    Is there any suggestions you can advise...

    You need to contact that store, because you will never be able to update without sorting out that login ID.

  • Photo Merge not working in CS4

    I use Lightroom 2.3 on a MacBook Pro.  When I go to "edit in" and choose "merge to panorama in photoshop", photoshop opens and the "photomerge window" comes up.  I select auto merge for the 3 selected photos and click ok. Then, nothing happens.  No new file is created and no activity takes place. I used to do this from Lightroom to Photoshop CS3 and it worked fine.  Since installing Photoshop CS4, it does not work.
    My Photoshop CS 4 performance settings are: memory 90% (or 2764 meg) and two scratch disks - the macintosh hd (89 g) and external drive (450 g). Open gl is not enabled.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    That means you probably have 3GB of RAM installed.  A 90% memory allowance to Photoshopunder these circumstances is clearly excessive.  Try reducing it to 70% or less.

    Make sure the EXTERNAL drive is designated as the PRIMARY scratch disk drive.  You don't have much left on your boot volume; how large is it in total?  Once a drive, any drive, gets to be 70% or so full, you're courting trouble.

  • Photo Merge not working

    The Hide and Reveal Brushes in my Photo Merge, Compose action is not working.  I have tried many different photos and it won't work on any of them.  The rest of the functions work just not the Hide and Reveal Brushes.  Help!
