Pictures disappeared, titles and audio still play

Hello Forum,
I made a slideshow in iMovie 09 of pictures from my vacation and specially fitted songs and titles into it. When I had finished, I clicked on the Optimize Video (Large) choice in the File menu, thinking it would make my video better. When the optimization had finished, I tried to play the movie, but now instead of seeing the pictures, audio, and text put together, all I see is a black screen along with text and audio, and there is no option to undo optimization. This problem persists even in both full screen mode and after the project had been prepared to be exported into iDVD. The strange thing is that all of the pictures are still present in the project pane, but when I try to play the movie it just won't show them. I don't want to have to restart because I've put so much work into this. Could somebody help me solve this problem?
Thanks,
plato428

I called it "making a montage of my favorite movie clips." It is what it is. Just how I said it. I do stand up impressions part time and sometimes, believe it or not i get recorded, or I record myself and "make a montage of all my favorite movie clips" or scenes from a movie or anything for that matter. So as illegal as that is I apologize that you want to monitor that stuff.
So lets step out of our assumptive sheriff shoes and stop hazardly guessing at anything that you would disprove of. Everyone else has been very helpful. Besides, all these questions centralize around a basketball highlight video I am making for a coach, that I myself recorded and own the copyright to, to be specific and hopefully clarify your hunch.
As a video editor you also often receive footage with numerous formats depending on who you're working with. Not everything is an illegal transaction that you assume it to be. Thanks

I am importing a video and in iMovie the video is now white. the audio still plays and I can play the video properly outside of iMovie so any help is good?

I going to recommend again, downloading and installing some video helper applications.
1. http://perian.org/ (this will add a number of different file types to the ones QuickTime already plays)
2. http://www.divx.com/en/software/mac (will add more file types to what QuickTime can play)
Either one of these might be necessary to get MPEG Streamclip to export the video. Failing that the only other thing I have found is an obscurve discussion thread on Avid.com:
http://duc.avid.com/archive/index.php/t-277791.html
I've figured out what the problem is on my end. The video came from Avid on a Windows machine and was encoded with Squeeze. I found out that the 2 seconds of black at the top of the video were at a different frame rate than the rest of the video. I chopped off the 2 seconds of black and started at the first frame of video, exported it with Quicktime Pro and was able successfully view the video in ProTools. Apparently Squeeze will let you create a movie file that has different frame rates within the same movie... This fixed my issue that was exactly as you describe, hopefully it might work for you.
Lastly, you could try converting the video clip using HandBrake

The video picture is hang but audio keeps playing

We are using FMS3.5 for VOD streaming. It’s spotted that when we are using Flash Player Version = WIN 10.0.42.34/10,0,45,2, it is encountered that the video picture is hang but audio keeps playing after our commercial break point. we will first pause the video content and then use the same object to play the instream ad. After that, the video is resume when instream ad complete.
Thanks for helping!

Hi,
Can you pls pass me the client side code?
Need to check if you are doing the right thing.
Let me know the type of VOD and ad contents you are using.

RemoveChild() but audio still plays

Hy!
I have a flash website where different pages are movieclips which are added or removed from the main stage, depending on which buttons are clicked.
The problem is that I have a 'video' page where a YouTube player is embedded. The video plays as soon as the movieclip loads, but when I remove the child from the stage and I add another movieclip on top of it, the audio still plays.
I have tried using the SounMixer.stopAll() but it works only when I test swf in Flash. When I open the swf separately from the folder it is in, it doesn't work anymore.
Can somebody please help me?
Thanks a lot!

It is not a FLVPlayback control, it is a YouTube ActionScript 3.0 Player API.
Here is the code :
// The player SWF file on www.youtube.com needs to communicate with your host
// SWF file. Your code must call Security.allowDomain() to allow this
// communication.
Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");
// This will hold the API player instance once it is initialized.
var player:Object;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onLoaderInit);
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3")); //load the embedded player
play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playVid);
pause_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, pauseVid);
video1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playVid1);
video2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playVid2);
video3_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,playVid3);
mute_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,muteVideo);
unmute_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,unmuteVideo);
function onLoaderInit(event:Event):void {
    addChild(loader);
    loader.content.addEventListener("onReady", onPlayerReady);
    loader.content.addEventListener("onError", onPlayerError);
    loader.content.addEventListener("onStateChange", onPlayerStateChange);
    loader.content.addEventListener("onPlaybackQualityChange", onVideoPlaybackQualityChange);
function onPlayerReady(event:Event):void {
    // Event.data contains the event parameter, which is the Player API ID
trace("player ready:", Object(event).data);
player = loader.content;
          player.loadVideoByUrl("http://www.youtube.com/v/v6oJ5rw9mys",0);
    // Set appropriate player dimensions an its position
player.setSize(480, 360);
          player.x=50;
          player.y=220;
          video_title.text="Multiplying Sevens-Times Table";
function onPlayerError(event:Event):void {
    // Event.data contains the event parameter, which is the error code
    trace("player error:", Object(event).data);
function onPlayerStateChange(event:Event):void {
    // Event.data contains the event parameter, which is the new player state
    trace("player state:", Object(event).data);
function onVideoPlaybackQualityChange(event:Event):void {
    // Event.data contains the event parameter, which is the new video quality
    trace("video quality:", Object(event).data);
I have taken this code from its YouTube ActionScript 3.0 Player API Reference

I removeChild but audio still plays

I have as3 script that loads an external swf which contains flv video:
var eventInitialLoader:Loader = new Loader();
var eventInitialURL:String = parent['eventPath'+ie];
var eventInitialRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest(eventInitialURL);
eventInitialLoader.load(eventInitialRequest);
eventOdd.addChild(eventInitialLoader);
...And some script later on that removes it:
eventOdd.removeChild(eventInitialLoader);
The movie clip is removed but the audio continues to play. Why is this? What can I do to make sure the audio is removed also?
Thank You!

Hey BrianatArean I have the same problem . Were you using the Video class? I user this code to kill everything but the audio still plays:
public function stopIt()
            video.clear();
            ns.close();
        public function killIt()
             trace("VideoHandler.killIt() called");
             stopIt();
             _stage.removeChild(video);
             nc.removeEventListener (NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,checkConnect);
             ns.removeEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
             nc.close();
             video = null;
             ns = null;
             nc = null;
             flag_Running =false;

Extracted audio still plays.

Hi Everyone,
I extracted the audio from a very short video clip. I want the clip to run in slow motion. My problem is that I don't hear any sound when I play the clip normally, but when I try to add the slow motion effect, the audio comes back. Any solutions?
Thanks, Jennifer

Sometimes (..always?..) when you try out an effect in the little Preview window, after the audio's been extracted, the audio still plays.
However, that's just a feature (bug?) of the effect preview.
My experience is that if you actually Apply the effect, when you've tested it - so that the timing is correct for what you want - the audio, in the real clip, does stay muted, etc.
I've had muted ('extracted') audio still playing - in that teeny Preview window - when I try to slow down or reverse a clip. Nevertheless, when I've Applied the effect, everything's as it should be.
I think that the Preview facility relies on a separate little QuickTime player, and that doesn't necessarily pick up all the alterations you've made to your project until after the effect has been Applied. (..The effect and transition Preview generally tries to play from a memory cache, so it plays back a clip from within the computer's memory, instead of reading from the list of recent alterations to the project, such as audio muting..)

After reducing audio in all clips, audio still plays?

When making music videos, I reduce the volume to 0% in all the clips. This worked for a while, but after making multiple music videos, the audio still played AFTER I reduced it to 0%.

That's a real shame, kinda renders the software useless if you cannot match video to music timing.. I just edited my first movie with imovie9 and the amount of bugs i found was astonishing. I feel i'm only doing simple things with it.
Very disappointing..

I purchased a song on iTunes and it is displayed in my list of SONGS. However, when I try to add to my iPhone 4, it displays with a small circle of dots to the left of the song title and will not play. How do I get this song onto my device?

Tunes disappear from folder - but still play in iTunes???

I can play songs in iTunes that have disappeared from the iTunes music folder. Maybe I'm fundamentally misunderstanding something, but this has me baffled.
Here's what's happened: I was looking at my iTunes music folder in Finder. I double-clicked on a song (an mp3 file); iTunes opened and played the song. But when I closed iTunes, the song was missing from the folder!
I opened iTunes, found the song in the library, and played it again. I did a 'Get Info' in iTunes and it still shows the song as being in my music folder.
I used spotlight to search for the song name, and it, too, shows the song as being in the iTunes music folder.
But it still doesn't show up when I open the folder in Finder.
Worried that something was going wrong with the file structure, I did a clean install of the OS (10.4.11) and upgraded to the latest iTunes (7.5).
Since then, I've replicated the process with two other songs.
Any ideas?

All of the PDF documents on my iPad disappeared. This seems to be a problem that a number of people have experienced, although a clearly documented solution does not appear to be readily available.
This issue can be resolved by deleting all the PDF documents in the iTunes library. Copying the PDF documents back to the iTunes library and then syncing the iPad will allow the missing documents to reappear back in the collections into which they were filed.
It is a good idea to make sure that you have a complete backup of all of the PDF documents in the library before deleting them.

How do i get my music and audio to play on my iphone 4s

My iphone stopped playing all audio (music, videos, youtube, ext.) everything. The play button comes on but the volume doesn't go up or down. I have googled it and it says that a reason could be from using a cheap charger. I have backed up and done a full restoration but it hasn't worked. Any help?

iPhone User Guide (For iOS 6 Software)
The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

Quick Time 7.67 video and audio not playing in CourseCompass MyMathLab

When I first used MyMathLab through Course Compass, the video and audio played with the digital picture broken up. Since then it stopped running the video and audio. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Quick Time more than once without any change. Now when it is trying to load,I just get white screen with Q logo and an arrow running across the bottom of its window.

I forgot to mention I use Firefox. I just updated to Firefox 3.6.9 today. The quick Time problem already existed before I update Firefox.Is there a problem with Quick Time being compatible with Firefox?

Deleted audio still plays - help

project in imovie hd. i have extracted the audio, lowered the audio in the video clip to 0%, and unchecked the audio box in the time line. most of the audio in the video clip is gone but about 2 seconds at the start and end of each video clip still plays. so you hear "and cut!" at the end!
fyi i m working on a slient film so i dont care if all the video sound is gone. the soundtrack is done.

most of the audio in the video clip is gone but about 2 seconds at the start and end of each video clip still play
Do you by any chance have transitions where this happens?
Extracting the audio from the clips before applying transitions prevents this.

I have a bright white screen on my Gen 4 ipod nano. I can still see text if I look hard enough, and it still plays music and stuff, but it's really hard to see.

As described above, my screen is bright white, but it still plays music. It's really hard to see, and I've tried everything. I manually restarted it like 20 times, I updated software and reset it, and I've just waited. It's happened once before, but after I waited 20 minutes it worked, and that was 6 months ago. But this time, it seems to just stay with a white screen.
If anybody knows what to do to solve this, and what caused this, please answer.

Flash player starts playing video but stops, audio still plays

When I watch videos on youtube the video and audio play fine for the first few seconds. Then all of a sudden the video stops playing, but the audio continues to play. I am using Firefox 3.0.10, Windows XP SP3, Intel Celeron Processor 434MHz, 256MB of Ram. This also happend with other browsers like Google Chrome, and Internet Explorer. What can I do to correct this issue? Thanks in advance.

First, disable Java. It's a security risk and has nothing to do with the problem.
If you're using Safari, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If there's no change, from the Safari menu bar, select
Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins
Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
iPhotoPhotocast
Java
WebKit built-in PDF
