Photobooth recording videos cuts out

Hiya
my one month old macbook pro, was just using it today for a bit of fun, so i set the application up, starting recording while me and my friend did our act in front of the camera. as usual, i pressed stopped when we had finished (after 3 minutes) and photobooth finished recording. (as i pressed stop, it was still recording with the timer well into 3 minutes)
however, when playing the video back, i discovered it had only recorded about 30 seconds of it even though after 3 mins it still said recording and the green light above was on
so we tried again, this time recording for 2 and a half mins, but still not the whole thing
and again, this time for only 26 seconds.
But as i pressed stop, it still was recording!!!!!!!!! and this was after 3 minutes each time
Why has it cut loads out when it has saved it?!?!??!?!?!
really annoying. i have 130gb HDD space remaining too.
thanks very much if anyone can shed any light

thankss

Audio on keynote exported quicktime videos cuts out at 50 seconds?

It just started! When I export my keynote into a Quicktime file, the audio cuts out at 50 seconds. I have been creating videos a long time with this method and never had problems before.

I am willing to share files with Apple. Mine are copyrighted, but are shareable.
But here's a wrinkle on the problem that puts me a little more in sympathy with Apple engineers, since they may well not have encountered the subtle environments we have that is generating this audio problem.
I was having the same problem you are for several days after I upgraded to Keynote 6.5 and Yosemite 10.10 (running on a mid-2011 MBA). I duplicated a keynote file with audio recorded that cut out after 50 seconds or so: audio stopped on slide 2 even though I had recorded and saved the whole 50 minute presentation. I store my keynote presentations along with Quicktime movies (m4v) and downsampled mp4 files in a sparsebundled disk image. I created a new, larger disk image yesterday because I was running out of storage space. To do that, I copied all the files in the sparsebundle to a temporary folder on a backup drive (My Mac Book Air is running out of storage space). Then, I deleted the old sparse bundle, created the new one, and copied all the files back.
After reading your latest post, I thought I would try again. I opened my test Keynote file, now copied to the new sparse bundle, and the audio works! I can hear the audio in the Keynote file when I "Play Recorded Slideshow" from the Play menu. I also exported to a Quicktime m4v movie and the audio is all there. The Keynote file size didn't change during all this: still 36.8MB, which is typical for the audio recorded ones. I start with a 2 to 4MB presentation of 15-20 slides, record audio, and the file size increases to 35-40MB. Then the Quicktime m4v is typical 200-300MB. This one is: 239.4MB.
So, although the bug is not squashed, take heart and don't delete those files! Your audio may actually be in there somewhere.

Video Cuts out After 20 Minutes

With my iPod video coming soon I am preparing movies to put onto my iPod. I convert DVDs into MPEG1s, then MPEG1s into uncompressed AVIs because QT can take audio and video from AVIs. My final uncompressed AVI is perfect, audio and video all the way through. Now, when I convert this AVI to an iPod format movie (320x240), a QT movie (.mov), or a MPEG4 (I have tried all three), it seems to work fine, no errors or anything. Then when I play the result, the audio goes all the way through, but the video cuts out to a white screen after 20 minutes. Is this fixable or do I have to wait for a QT update? By the way, the movie is 90-100 minutes long.

You are converting a DVD (MPEG-2 format) to MPEG-1 format and then to .avi file. This new (now compressed twice) file is compressed again (conversion to .mov).
Too many steps and way too much re-compression.
You should search for some software that will export from MPEG-2 to the iPod settings.
The white screen issue is probably caused by broken time codes (the MPEG-1 file, I suspect).
I've seen new software releases designed for iPod video export (both Mac and Windows versions). Maybe you should try a few of them.
Can the iPod battery hold out long enough to play 100 minutes of video?

Video cuts out of frame when importing to timeline :( What to do?

Hi there!
So I have my initial video on my timeline and all is well.
However when I try to import another video with the same frame, it looks like it zooms in because it cuts so much of the frame that I can't even see my face anymore . I even tried viewing it in the preview window on the upper left side (which looks fine) until I drag it in the timeline.
Photo 1 : This is the initial video
Photo 2: This is the additional clip that I'm adding that cuts out of frame
Something I should specify as well is, I recorded audio & video separately and merged them through he merge option that Premiere Pro has but that shouldn't be a problem since I did the same thing with my initial video to sync the audio and it did not cut out of frame.
I am still new at premiere pro and when I look up tutorials, no one seems to have that problem. Any help?
Thanks

Problem with Cross Dissolve: The video cuts out during the transistion

I'm encountering a problem with the Cross Dissolve transistion wherein during the period in which the transition should be happening the video instead drops out. There's plenty of heads and tails available on both clips, but as soon as the timeline hits the start of the transition "from' clip cuts out, revealing the background or black if there's no background underneath and then the "go-to" clip cuts in at the end of the transition.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've been having this issue and it's driving me crazy. It's random, that some cross dissolves work, and others don't. Seems to affect AVCHD footage. Adobe seems to be aware of the issue.
The work around that I've seen posted by a forum user "Mitch W" is to apply a GPU accelerated effect to one of the clips in the pair. The effect can be turned to "0" so as not to alter the video. The act of doing this, makes premiere see the clip differently, and render the cross dissolve correctly.
Fast Blur, set to "zero", seems to do the trick, and allows it to work with CUDA acceleration turned on. I did notice that the work around was broken by changing the playback resolution in the viewer window. In that situation, I had to apply the GPU effect to the other clip in the pair to make it work again.
I don't know what will happen if I change my playback resolution again...

Sound on videos cuts out after a few seconds?

Whenever trying to watch a video from a site on safari, Facebook (App), twitter (app) and instragram (app) the video plays sound for about a second then it cuts out. I have to restart the video or click the ringer off and on to hopefully get sound at the beginning ( which never happens). Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Same issue here. I actually won't have any sound if the video starts while "vibrate" mode is on, then when I flick it to "sounds", it plays the audio for a second then fades away until I start the video again.

I have had my iPad for six months and it has worked great till last week then the video cuts out and goes green

Question, video cut in and out and goes green?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Macbook died during Photobooth recording, video created but won't play

I was making a recording on my Macbook and the cord fell out and as a result the computer died. The movie got saved to the Photobooth library and has a whopping 260MB size to its name so I know there is data there, however the play time registers as 0:00 and can not play, is there any way I can recover this data? Or any place I can ask about this question?

It's a bug in the current version of QuickTime. If you do a forum search of "keynote audio" you'll find tons of posts dating back a couple of months that outline the exact same problem. Exporting to QuickTime results in no audio.
I'm new to the Mac - just got my system a few days ago. I had a blast designing a presentation on Keynote, but couldn't get it to export to QuickTime (no audio) or YouTube for that matter. I googled "Keynote no audio on export" and found out that a lot of people here were having the same problem. The best solution seems to be "downgrade" QuickTime.
I'm just disappointed that this has been a problem for awhile (and a major one at that) and Apple hasn't done anything to fix it even though they've put out upgrades to QuickTime since the problem began. Is Apple always this bad at customer service / upgrades? I love my new mac and the programs, but hope I'm not disappointed in my expectations of Apple.

Help with HXR-NX70U Sony NEXCAM: in manual recording video comes out stroby

When I put this camcorder into manual recording the video looks stroby and records the same way. How can I avoid this and still record in manual?

Hi Guys,
thanx for your replies.
here's the latest:
Brian, I followed your instructions and the DVD burned successfully. However the video quality of the dvd when viewed on my TV ('ve tried on all 3 of my tvs now) is still a lot poorer than the quicktime movie that was imported into DVDSP4. When I play the original QT Movie on my Mac CRT monitor it looks a little blurry and grainy because I guess its non interlaced however when viewed on an external Video monitor it looks great - very sharp.
When I view the burned DVD on my television the picture quality looks like the non interlaced version of the original QT Movie that appeared on my Mac CRT and not the sharp interlaced (lower field) version that appeared on my external video monitor.
Its almost like taking a sharp jpeg into Photoshop and applying a gaussian blur of about 0.3 followed by jepg compression compressing it down to 5% quality!
I'm totally mystified. Can the conversion to Mpeg2 be removing all interlacing so that you get the less sharp computer monitor look? I just want the video on my final DVDs to be as good as the original source footage! I appreciate that along the way there might be loss of some quality but surely not that much?
Does this make sense to you guys or am I still doing something very wrong?
Robert: I have tried setting all manner of drives including a fresh external firewire HD with nothing on it (clean out of the box) but it doesn't seem to help.
Brian: I tried the no network suggestion a few months back but I'm not sure if I got it right. At the moment I have broadband through an external speedtouch usb modem and am also connected (occasionally although not for the last 3 months) via a crossover cable to my PCs ethernet card. When I last tried the No Network solution I had immense trouble getting my internet to work again! Can you please help me by directing me to the best ay to do this while protecting my internet settings?
any more help guys would be greatfully appreciated.

Video cuts out early in Encore 2.0

I have several videos that fade to black. In Encore's simulation mode these videos play back as they should. The fade is allowed to go all the way to full black before returning to the menu or going to the next video, etc. Once the DVD is burned however, the video freezes in mid fade. This same project with the same video files worked properly in version 1.5. I don't have any extra handles on the videos that I can move the in and out points.
Is there a fix for this problem? My only other option is to re-make the video files with an extra second of black at the head and tail of each video. With over 70 videos I was hoping for a simpler fix.
Thanks

Here's some more info that may shed some light.
Using Avid Media Composer Adrenaline to make uncompressed 720x486 29.97 fps QuickTimes. Using Sorenson Squeeze to make MPEG2(NTSC DVD Lg). Importing those MPEGs into Encore. Entire project created in Encore 1.5 30-day trial version. Many DVD's burned from 1.5 worked as expected (videos faded completely to black). Upgraded to 2.0 from mailed software (not download version.) All looks normal in simulation mode including the fades. Timelines play fine in monitor. Assets play fine in project mini monitor at top of assets window. Encore 2.0 detects no problems. All navigation works as expected. All assets reside in the same location as they did with Encore 1.5. Burning fails at last moment when burning at 16x. Burning works fine when using 4x. Aside from the freeze that happens about a second before the end of the videos all else works fine. I have burned numerous disks and the problem persists.
Did not realize I would not be able to re-open the project in v1.5 once it has been opened in v2.0 so I'm stuck with 2.0.
Machine surpases all software requirements. Internal DVD burner, internal hard drives.
Hope this info proves helpful. Would appreciate any feedback even if Christo's tip works.
Thanks.

Audio buzz and video cut-out caused by volume shadow service errors during updates and other services that create shadow copies

I have this issue and see throughout the Internet that my problem is shared by large numbers of other Windows 7 users, and a few Windows 8 users.
I also see that Microsoft has not addressed the issue.
I've been troubleshooting the problem for 13 months and across 3 separate hard drives on 2 separate computers, with the help of tech escalation from both Carbonite and Dell (whom I wanted to eliminate as causes, and who have been kind enough to assist even
after being eliminated as causes because they evidently care about customer service).
Over 13 months we have run system diagnostics, reinstalls and repairs to no avail. We have been able to reproduce the event in the absence of every attached device, every installed program, every subscribed service, and every hardware type and configuration.
We have visited chat rooms showing that this is a widespread problem (e.g., http://superuser.com/questions/630033/audio-video-glitch-when-shadow-copy-service-starts), and that even professional server administrators simply consign themselves to VSS being "the
bane of backup software" (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/229743-problem-with-vss-writer-system-writer-timed-out).
Yet regardless of the computer or the configuration, the problem persists. It causes characteristic and alarming disk write error and memory spikes on the Resource Monitor that can be traced to huge numbers on the System 4 and VSSVC.exe processes, occurring
every time the Volume Shadow Copy Service and Application Experience create a restore point during an automatic update of Adobe, antivirus, etc.; and one can even provoke an event simply by manually creating a restore point, which has the bonus of triggering
an 8220 notice that the Volume Shadow Service has run out of time while deleting files. And the only advice I've seen from MS is that this is a "normal condition."
It is not normal to be unable to enjoy audio and video. And it is certainly not normal for one's PC to continually degrade with every update until it becomes unable to update and must be replaced.
I am on my 3rd computer with this problem (different type and configuration each time), and Dell has offered me an upgrade to Windows 8 in the hopes that the problem will not recur there. But I see from Microsoft's tech chat that Windows 8 users are reporting
the problem as well (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-pictures/after-upgrading-to-windows-8-pro-there-is-an/813432c2-14f1-463f-bba3-ad322ceb6e00).
Please, please post a real answer to this problem. Thank you.

Hi,
Above all I understand the frustration as a same issue persists for a very long time.
At first I'm thinking if it is directly related to the application CrashPlan some customers mentioned in one of the threads you provided. However I then noticed that you said it could be also reproduced by creating a System Restore point.
Currently I cannot find a Windows 7 system so I used a Windows 8.1 laptop (also Dell) for testing.
I tried to play an online video and also a local video with creating a restore point in the middle. However I failed to reproduce the same behavior.
The following screenshot was captured in second test (play a local video):
I cannot confirm if it is because we have a large physical memory (8GB), or Windows 8.1 resolved this issue. From the screenshot, memory is not spiked (actually it is almost not changed).
So in current situation you can test to enlarge the size of physical memory (and virtual memory) for test if available. And as Dell provided a Windows 8 system, you can try it before and after installing Windows 8.1.
As a support engineer I also hope to help fix the issue or at least find out the cause. Later I will try to find a Windows 7 system for testing as well.
In addition, please understand that as the issue occurs mostly in Windows 7, though it seems related to VSS, it is still a Windows client system issue. So you can post the question to Windows 7 forum for further information. Here is the link:

Video cuts out during games - Black screen

HI,
I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem for the past few months. I've searched these forums and several others without much luck.
System:
MSI P6N SLI
Intel Core 2 6420
Silverstone ST75ZF 750w (quad +12v rail)
EVGA 8800GTS --> PNY Geforce 9800 GT XR8
Mushkin DDR2 800 1gb x2 = 2gb total --> new 1gb x2
Viewsonic VX1940w 19" LED w/ DVI
Onboard sound --> Creative XFI gamer card
x1 HDD SATA, x1 DVD RW
Playing games like Bioshock causes the monitor to go black when I encounter flashing explosions. IE Bioshock, after each death, right after the screen turns to white, the monitor goes black every time while the game continues. Cannot tab out to reset video; I have to have power cycle the monitor in order to have the video come back. Also happens on Combat Arms when I get hit with a flashbang grenade.
I changed the video card from the 8800 to the 9800 because the 8800 was extremely hot. 90C! Changing it out for the 9800 seemed to fix one game, not Bioshock or Combat Arms though. The 9800 runs cool, 50C max.
CPU runs no higher than 35C. Memory - did x86 memtest. 3 passes, no errors. I swapped out the current set of Mushkins for another set, didn't solve it. Nothing's overclocked or manually adjusted. Air-cooled case also swapped for the Antec 900; there's plenty of circulation.
I turned off the onboard sound and put in a Creative XFI card. No help. Swapped out the wifi card also - G --> N.
I've changed everything except for the mobo, CPU, power, and monitor. None of these I look forward to replacing so, MSI peeps, help!~
Thanks for reading.

Hello and welcome,
In bios, what is the frequency of your PCI-E bus, it should be 100.
Did you try new drivers? Sometimes its a driver issue, since its only in a few games.
Remove ALL drivers files, with for instance drivercleaner, reboot and install the latest ones from Nvidia site.
Also, patch the games to the latest version, sometimes its a game problem.
And last, try your computer on a different screen and see if problem persists
Hi DaLoona,
Thank you for your reply.
PCI-E Freq. = 100
Drivers= I have updated before to the newest drivers and wiped the previous with Drivercleaner but no difference noticed. I will try again with the latest drivers to be sure.
Different monitor = yes, I will check that eventually.
Thanks again,
Bastiat

When Recording with DAE, recording sometimes cuts out...

but not all the time - it appears random. Playback will continue, but when I stop playback, the recording stopped somewhere in the middle of recording. It only happens occasionally but of course it's a pain. No error messages appear.
Is it because I only have Protools 7.1cs6?
I'm using Logic 8.0.1 on a Dual G5 2.7 on OS 10.4.10, 4G Ram.
Thanks for any tips,
Regards,
Ken

1. try changing the settings under Preferences/Audio/Devices/DAE: PT HD-Type to at least 64 tracks (2 DSP´s); for me that helped
2. also problems can cause if you have instanciated EXS24 TDM Instruments, so if my first tip doesn´t help, try this

Apple TV video cuts out after an hour

I have been having a problem where my screen goes black after an hour, but I can still hear the sound. I switched the "Sleep After" to never, but each time I watch for an hour, the screen still goes black. It doesn't matter if I'm watching Netflix or NHL hockey. I tried turning the television off, but that gets me an additional five minutes before it does the same thing again. If I reset the Apple TV by unplugging it, I get another hour. That seems ridiculous though. This is already a second unit as my last one got stuck after the update. The HDMI cable is also an Apple product. Also new, because they gave me a new one when I initially reported the problem to them. Reading around, people have also suggested turning the HDMI cable around. I just did that and that didn't make a difference either. My television is a Samsung which I have read might have problems with Apple TV.

Welcome to the Apple community.
I don't think that S*****g TVs have problems with the Apple TV per se, but it might be that there is something wrong with the HDMI card in the TV.
Next time this problem occurs try restarting the TV instead of the Apple TV.

Please help! Video and Audio Cut Out of Project Made in FCE, Burned in iDVD

I made a 20 minute movie in FCE 4 and burned it onto a DVD using iDVD (I have a MacBook that runs Mac OS X Snow Leopard). For some reason, when I watch the DVD, both the audio and the video cut out approximately five minutes into the movie. The audio and video both cut to black at exactly the same time and never come back. I haven't inserted any chapter markers or anything, so I know that's not the issue. Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks in advance.

Open the exported file in the QuickTime player. Does it play all the way through correctly? If yes, you should try the question on the iDVD forum. If no, report back what you've got in the QT player.
