Photos not previewing properly in iMovie hd6

From an external HD I import jpeg photos into imovie hd 6.0.1 to make a slide show. If I do anything else (move slider in frame view) in iMovie using preview goes blank or may revert to the last photo in my iPhoto library (which I am not importing from). Also, after emptying the trash in iMovie mulitiple photos lose the ability to preview (black screen). iMovie 5 never did this. Any suggestions? I'm not sure I understand the 'plist' referred to in other threads.

Updating Ken Burns stills works only until you empty the trash
After emptying the trash, and then selecting the still to be updated via the Media/Photos/Show Photo Settings tab, the appropriate Ken Burns update window appears but the view screen is black and the still isn't updated.
The reason for this bug is that iMovie HD 6 discards the source image of the imported clip when we empty the iMovie trash. In all previous versions of iMovie, that source image was retained in the Media folder, allowing us to later Update the rendered clip. That's no longer true. The image is being tossed out of the iMovie trash, making a future Update impossible. And because the source image is gone, iMovie displays nothing but black in the Preview window.
One workaround, of course, is to never empty the iMovie trash. If you never do that, you'll always be able to Update your rendered images. The bug won't have a chance to bite.
A better way is to trick iMovie into retaining the source image it stores in the Media folder and never discard it when you empty the iMovie trash. If you can force iMovie to retain that source image, you'll always be able to update the rendered clip that uses the image. (Remember, it's only the source image of RENDERED clips that iMovie discards when it shouldn't.) How to force iMovie to keep the image? Make an unrendered clip of the image by importing it with the Ken Burns checkbox OFF, then drag that clip to the Clips pane. Leave it there. Later, to create your animated still-image clip, either import the image again, or Option-drag its twin from the Clips pane to the Timeline. (Option-dragging copies the clip. Then Update it with the Ken Burns checkbox ON. iMovie will render it normally.)
Why does the first clip "protect" the rendered clip? Because this bug is not the smartest bug in the colony. If the source image has been discarded the bug is too dumb to notice, and substitutes black. (That's the bug.) But if the Media folder contains a source image named "Image xxx" the bug uses it, even if it's not officially connected to the rendered clip. So the UNrendered clip protects the RENDERED twin.
Thanks to Iain MacDonald, Al Seper and Karl Petersen for spotting and explaining this bug.

BC editor not previewing properly after saving

I raised this issue a few weeks (could even be more like months) ago with BC, haven't heard anything back.. apparently it was an "issue" they were working on.
When editing a page in BC, all looks fine (text is styled) however when you save/publish, the content is then displayed by the editor as default text. (no styling). This is not so bad for me, because I know what's going on and how it will look, but for clients, they are trying to fix the formatting etc, because it doesn't look right.. When you preview the actual file in browser, it looks fine. It's just the editor that is not previewing properly. If you go out of the page again and edit, it will display properly, but as soon as you save/publish, it defaults again.
BC, any update?

Hey tyj00123,
I believe you may be referring to support ticket #35920 in which my colleague confirmed this was a bug and recorded this issue in our bug tracking software. For your reference, the bug ID was 3569891.
I can see there has been progress made on this bug and it looks like a fix may be rolled out with our next release. However this is not something I can confirm just yet. I also cannot confirm when the next release is due to be rolled out at this time. Please keep an eye on our blog closely for any announcements: http://www.businesscatalyst.com/_blog/BC_Blog/
Cheers.

Photos not showing up in iMovie project after transferring project to external hard drive

I just finished moving my iMovie '11 projects and events to an external hard drive. In one particular project (the only one I've used photos in), the photos will not play back when I watch it in the preview window. The picture shows up in the project editing window, but during playback the computer seems to use the last frame of the last played video. All of the previous settings are the same, it will just not show the pictures. I've tried re-inserting them, even trying different pictures that were not used originally, but nothing seems to work. I've also tried closing iMovie and restarting it, but no luck.

Hi all
I am having the same problem - all a bit wierd. Yesterday I could drag and drop images from finder into my project. Today, I can drag andf drop the images from finder and they display in the project - but not when it is played.
I tried importing the images into iphoto and dragging them from the media selection window - still no joy - I can see them in the proejct - but they just don't show when played.
Is it because the project has been marked as finished in some way - although I haven't finalised it?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

ISight Not Working Properly in iMovie HD

Getting a *No Camera Attached* message in *iMovie HD*, and don't know why.
Tried *iMovie HD* under another user account, and it still doesn't work. iSight is recognized in System Profiler, and works in Photo Booth.
Software updates are current.
Any suggestions on how to get iMovie HD working properly?
Thank you.

If you do not have QuickTime X and do not plan to upgrade to Snow Leopard, QTX is not a solution.

I see that you have changed your posted system info. I thought your system info showed Mac OS X (10.6.4) when I responded. Perhaps I was mistaken.
iMovie HD is 5.0.2
As explained by the article I linked initially, iMovie HD 5.x will not work with built-in iSight.
Would one of these downloads do the trick for updating?
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#iMovie%20HD%206
No.
The 6.0.x updates will only work if you have iMovie HD 6.0 or 6.0.1 installed. iMovie HD 6 is part of Apple iLife '06. You may be able to buy iLife '06 from a local computer store or on-line auction site, but it is no longer listed in the Apple Store.
Three alternatives you can consider follow.
(1) If you are using a Early '08 MacBook Pro or other iNtel Mac and cannot find iLife '06, you can upgrade to the latest version of iLife and use its iMovie.
http://www.apple.com/ilife/
In addition to a completely new iMovie, the new iLife offers many other new features that may be of interest to you.
(2) If you do not want a newer iLife version, you can upgrade your existing QuickTime to QuickTime Pro and use QTPro to record your videos:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/extending/
Once you have entered a valid QTPro key, you can record video clips in QuickTime Pro and import the clip into any iMovie version for editing.
(3) If you have a Firewire-connected, _Mac compatible DV camcorder_ or Firewire webcam, you can record video from it directly into your iMovie 5 (or even the previous iMovie 4.) Your Mac must have iChat installed in order for this to work:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/HD/en/im128.html
(iChat is installed automatically with OS X, so it will be there unless you have removed it or specifically excluded it from installation.)

Imported photos not showing up in iMovie

Not all of my iPhoto pictures can be seen in the photo dialog box in iMovie. I have done a bit of research, and it appears that I am having problems with the photos I have imported. Since I am working on a collaborative project where I get photos from other parties, importing photos is the only way I can get photos from other people. Does anyone have a solution?? This is a bit urgent!! I am using iMovie '09 with OS 10.9.1.

I'm not familiar with iPhoto since I don't use it, but if you want to use photos sent to you from others there is no need to go via iPhoto. Just save the photos in some convenient folder and drag and drop the photo files with Finder directly into your iMovie timeline.

Images not previewing properly in Bridge CS4

I just did a reformat & reinstall of my whole system. I opened Bridge to get back to work and none of my images will preview accurately in Bridge. They just show as horizontal and vertical pixelated representations of the image. I did not have a problem with Bridge until after the reinstall. Anyone have any ideas?
System details: Dell Dimension 8250 (I know, it's a dionsaur, but it works...for now), Windows XP Pro SP3, 1.5gb ram, Intel P4 3.06GHz HT
Thanks, Dana

Hi Dana,
Which settings are you considering and what are the performance issues?
You can optimize for certain workflows that will adjust processor intensive work, such as only generating large previews when displayed. If you're strictly talking about video card accelerated features, I think it's more a matter of On or Off as opposed to performance tuning. I just did a quick look and with video card acceleration enabled, in Full Screen Preview you can pan the image at magnifications much smoother.

steve

PDF's in Mail Not Previewing Properly - All Text is small Boxes with "X"'s

Hi, when I attach a .pdf file in Mail the letters of the fonts sow up as small boxes with an "X" in the middle. I have attached PDF's before with no problems viewing them in Mail but now they are unreadable.
I contacted Adobe but the PDF looks fine in other applications. I also open the file and save it using "Preview" and it looks fine until I attach it in an email then the font letters are all boxes with "X" in the middle.
Please Help!

Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

IWeb photo not working properly

I need to make a simple photo page with a slideshow. I've dragged my album from aperture onto the photo page and the thumbnails look fine but when I publish and try to run the slideshow there is nothing. The total size of the published site is 6Mb which tells me that the full versions of the photos have not been transferred over. The site should be about 20 or 30 MB at least.
Is there a remedy to this problem?

Jquery Mobile Website does not preview properly in Dreamweaver's Live View or in my web browser

I'm using Dreamweaver 12.0 Build 5861.
I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I go
File / New / Page from Sample / Mobile Starters / JQuery Mobile with theme (local).
I then save my page.
Then when I go to preview my new page in Live View, it shows a page without any styles, etc.
When I upload the page and additional files created by Dreamweaver to my server. I preview it and it will look like the default style JQuery page, but when I click on the button to see the content for that page, there is not a "back" button to come back to my home page.
Also, when I try to implement a JQuery mobile swatch, the Swatch window says "No Theme Applied."
I feel like I'm missing something really simple,,, but what? Is there a setting I need to change or am I missing a step? I have looked at many video tutorials online and I believe I am taking the same steps.

You're missing the viewport meta attribute. Add ths to your <head> section.
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, minimum-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
And add this to Line 13:
<div data-role="page" id="page" data-add-back-btn="true">
Do this for all page IDs.

Capture One RAW Tiffs not previewing properly in Aperture

We just wrapped a big photoshoot and the photographer was using Capture One Pro. He gave me all of the raw files, but Capture creates RAW Tiffs. I imported them all to my Aperture, but now it's only showing me low-res jpeg previews. We switched computers mid-way and some of the previews are bigger than others, so I realize it's probably a setting in Capture One, but I want Aperture to show me the real file.
any suggestions?
thanks,

thanks, but i have to say, that's pretty weak on Apple's end. it was from a Phase One back and if apple wants to get into the pro game, they better get on board with what most pros are using at the moment.
thanks for the response, hopefully they fix that stat.
what's that lightroom? you wanna play? ok.
I agree that they need to add Phase One support, no question. They've got Leaf and Hasselblad. It's a huge oversight for them not to have Phase One.
That said, if this was a "big proshoot" as you say and the photographer gave you all of his raws why are you bouncing around between programs? You are not a digital tech or you'd already know what was up. If you're thinking that you can hit the ground running, fresh from an assignment, with no experience in any of these programs (Aperture, Lightroom, ACR, Capture One, etc.) then you've got a learning curve ahead of you.
It would probably be much more efficient for you to have the photographer process the raws for you (I don't know of any pro's who would hand off their raw files - it's just assuming too much on the client's end) or outsourcing to a digital tech who's knows how to work the files.

OSX Address Book Photos Not Syncing Properly to iOS

I have been having a problem for a while now and cannot seem to fix it...
I have all my contacts in the OSX address book. I usually add contact photos by clicking on the photo and then choosing a new photo from my iPhoto library. (I usually have to enlarge and then crop the photo from within Address Book).
I use iCloud to sync my contacts to my iOS devices, but the photos don't seem to sync properly. Instead of the person's face, I usually get their shoulder, or nothing at all. The text for the contact syncs fine.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks,
Mike

Photos not appearing in ONE iMovie '11 project. same photos work in another. What gives?

I work with iMovie all the time, even have a non profit teaching it to kids. Working on finalizing projects for a screening and have a bug in one I can't figure out. I add JPEGs of our logo at the end. It's already in iPhoto so I go through the media button within iMovie. It is working on other projects, but one project - nothing -only shows a black screen on any image, video plays fine. Of course I'm working on a deadline.

There is a limit to the file size the Organizer will handle. Here is aTechNote dealing with PSE 5/6. I don't know if it also applies to PSE 8:
