Please help.  Exporting 37 minute movie and the video is stuck

I'm creating my annual year in review trivia contest for a party we're having this weekend. I've done lots of importing, editing, questions, sounds, etc. I exported the video using the "expert" settings, to apple TV. About 8 minutes into it, it locks up on a video clip (i.e. a still frame look) but the audio keeps going as it should. But the video just hangs.
I'm not sure if this is related, but I was downloading a bunch of stuff off youtube and it was saving in a .flv format. Early on I was converting these to another format to work with the programs. But then I found that the .flv format would import straight into imovie and I could see the clips and edit them just fine. Now I'm wondering if somehow these flv clips are causing a hiccup in the export process?
I've already edited everything so I'd really like to avoid re-importing these bad clips again. If I have to do that I'll probably throw in the towel as it will be too much work to duplicate.
Is there a way around this problem?
Thanks much.

Beverly,
Thanks much for the note. I think maybe you were responding to my other post about chapters rather than this post about the video sticking? Not sure.
Since making this post I experimented with deleting the video file that was the one getting "stuck" on the converted video. Since deleting that video, the movie will publish correctly. So I think I fixed that one. Must have had a corrupt file or something.
Since that other post about chapter markers I've imported the movie to IDVD, used IDVD to generate a DVD folder, then used handbrake to convert it. That seems to be working though I think there should be a quicker way to do this using only imovie HD.
Your idea is one I hadn't thought of....regardless of which problem you are addressing (this post about the video being stuck, or my other post about chapter markers), I'm not sure how this resolves either problem though. Sorry if I'm missing the obvious.

  • Please Help Exporting PDF Portfolio and Black Background turns White

    I am creating a PDF Portfolio in Adobe InDesign and I created a black background using the steps below. When I export the document into PDF form, the background turns to white.
    I followed these steps to make my background black:
    "Window>Color>Swatches to bring up the Swatches panel and double-click the Paper swatch. Change the Color Mode to RGB and move the Red, Green, and Blue sliders to 0 to change the swatch to Black. Click OK."
    Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

    You misunderstand what paper is for. Paper is quite simply the absense of ink or color.
    By changing it, all you've done is show what something will look like printed on black paper. If you really want a black background you'll need to draw a frame, fill it with black and place it on the master page on it's own bottom layer. Lock the layer to prevent any problems.

  • Help - making a movie and the file is jumpy

    I'm making a slideshow to show a group of 50 students tonight. I've never had this issue with iMovie before. I have iMovie '11 and OS Lion. The file is like it has scratch marks that appear at various times, whether it's a transition or just displaying a picture.
    It's not the end of the world because the file will still play, but it's noticeable that the file is jumpy/glitchy (sorry I don't have a better technical way of describing this).
    I have exporting as a quicktime file, it's still there, watched it on other macs and pcs, still there.
    Any help would be great. Need to show this tonight!

    What do you mean missing?
    It downloaded?  It was on your computer?  It then disappeared?

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • When I apply smoothing to a clip, it does nothing and the video frame remains static! Please Help!

    When I apply smoothing to a clip, it does nothing and the video frame remains static. As opposed to moving around in order to compensate for my movement, which exposes black edges. That is what I am trying to get. Please help
    These are the steps I follow. Import clip > Library > Behaviours > Motion > Stabilize. I then add the stabilize > go to inspector and change method to smooth and finally, analyze. However, it is not doing anything. My Macbook Pro was recently replaced and this is what I recall doing on my previous one, but it doesnt seem to be working for me. Is there a step im missing or something?
    Thanks for any help!

    Smooth is just going to smooth out a little "jitter" or jerkiness in the footage. Unless there is a lot of camera movement, you won't notice much. If you really want to see Motion go to work, change the Method to Stabilize.
    BTW, once the footage is analyzed, you can make any changes you want to any of the other parameters - you don't have to re-analyze. I recommend Stabilize with Adjust: Position Scale and Rotation and Borders set to Zoom (depending on the quality of the video) — or you might consider adding a mask to the group the stabilized video is in

    The EXACT same thing happened to me last night!  Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze.  When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen.  None of the other videos I own will display either.  Was your problem ever resolved?

    That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
    First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
    I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
    I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

    Hi, I just started a new movie and the program is running very slow. Is there a way to clean up my iMovie program so that it goes faster? Please help.

    There is nothing you can do with iMovie program itself.  Slow response in usually due to a shortage of system resources (CPU, RAM and disk space).
    How much free disk space do you have on your boot drive and what is the capacity of the drive?
    You can check memory utilization while running iMovie using Activity Monitor (in Applications/Utilities).  What does the Memory tab show for Swap used?
    Are you running many other processor-intensive applications a the same time?
    If you have a lot of events and projects, it will help a bit to hide the ones you are not using by moving them from your iMovie Projects and iMovie Events folders into an enclosing folder so iMovie doesn't load them.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.
