Previewing clips in Events pane do not play correctly in Preview Pane

Overall I like iMovie '08 very much, but I have one issue that it really annoying. Basically all of my footage was shot with Casio or Fuji digicams and lives in my iPhoto library. When iMovie imported these clips to the events pane, it looked as if all was fine. However, when I drag my mouse over certain clips to preview them, a different clip actually shows up in the preview pane. I can make selections and add them to the timeline, and when I replay them they look fine in the preview window - it only happens when I preview clips by dragging my mouse. Any ideas?

If you provide some specific information about what cam, sequence settings, codec, FCP, QT and OS version numbers, it would be helpful.

Can't play (preview) clips in event browser. Spacebar, play button, etc. will not work.

I can't get any form of playback while accessing clips in the Events Browser. I'll highlite a clip, hit spacebar, and it refuses to play. I'll highlite a clip, hit the play button and still get nothing. The playhead sits there, whereas before I had no problem previewing clips in the events browser. I've tried to reset my preferences in FCPX, even downloaded a preference manager to trash corrupted files, but that still didn't do the trick.
Is there a bug in 10.0.8 FCPX for playback? Anybody else have this problem? Its rather frustrating when I'm dealing with a lot of clips. I don't want to drag each individual file down into the timeline for playback...

I've had this only a few times – all in earlier versions–and quitting/relaunching FCP cleared it up.
What about JKL? Does that work?

Online video clips do not play correctly on all browsers

I am unable to play video clips at the right speed without them stalling and stuttering. For example, a typical YouTube clip will not play correctly, so the video will stutter and the sound won't play in time with the video.
This is especially frustrating when wanting to play music video clips as the song will stutter. This happens regardless of browser - Firefox, Safari or Netscape.
I have a broadband Internet connection but wonder whether I need to adjust speed settings somewhere so sound and music play correctly.
I have no problems playing songs via iTunes or watching video clips using Quicktime, it's just the embedded video clips on YouTube etc that won't play correctly.
Any advice much appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

Flash video is very CPU intensive, open activity monitor and look at your CPU usage while trying to watch a YouTube video, no doubt it is at 100%.
Unfortunately there isn't much you can do about this - my 400 Mhz G3 can't handle flash video and by the look of some previous posts on the forum I'd be surprised if any can .

MOV files from Ipad not playing correctly in 2010 Windows PPT presentation

I inserted .mov files taken from Ipad 2 into a.ppt on my work PC. I saved these files to the folder containing all of the videos I am showing in the ppt-- the same folder where the .ppt is located as well. Then I inserted them as I do all videos (I create ppts often for work) -- and the clips that are horizontal play fine but the vertical ones do not play correctly- audio and video not in sync. any remedies? (using ppt 2010, converted files to wmv, didn't work either). I should add that when I viewed these files on my PC (by just clicking the file) they play fine, but they are not rotated correctly. This must have been my fault when I took the videos. However, when I insert them they are rotated correctly but just don't play right - looks like a Japanese movie. please help!

Your page code doesn't give instructions to any browser plug-in and uses the out of date "embed" tag:
embed src="hippiehouseshowreel09.mov" width="460" height="360" hspace="2" align="left"></embed
The same code is used at all of your other popup windows and Internet Explorer doesn't know what to do (so it does nothing).

HELP....AVCHD / MPEG files not playing correctly!

I have been trying to download video that was shot with the new Sony FS100 camera that I'm told are AVCHD or MPEG files to my older Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 timeline, but they are not playing correctly. When I reverse the field dominance, the image plays better but the sound is strange (I was able to speed the sound to 450% and it worked better, but then the balance of the sound from the clip is lost somewhere.).
Any suggestions to make these files play and work correctly? I tried converting them to AVI files but that showed up completely black on the timeline! Anything I've tried either affects the video or audio negatively! I try either makes the image play or stutterThis was shot in regular SD format, NOT HD, so they should be able to play on a standard timeline. Can anyone suggest anything to help please? Much appreciated!

Thanks for your reply, I ran it through Media Info. Here are the results:
Container & general information:
MPEG-PS: 290 Mib 4min22s

What is the "Download All" button at the bottom of my playlist and why when I select it songs begin downloading and take up my storage space? If I don't download them the songs will not play correctly....

I have activated iTunes match and iCloud, now when I go to my Music app and choose me 'best' playlist, I see a button at the bottom of the list that says download all. If I choose this option every song in that playlist begins downloading (near 1,000), this is taking up memory on my phone instead of using the cloud. If i DO NOT download all of the songs they do not play correctly (skipping certain songs, not playing all the way through, etc.) What's this all about and what can I do about it? Why are my songs not just playing through iCloud? I thought that was the point.....

To be honest, you shouldn't need a great 3G service for it to be able to keep up with a song, but if it's a very weak signal then it could be the problem.
Unless you have unlimited 3G then I would recommend using wi-fi anyway, as you could easily run into monthly limits otherwise.
Do you think that it works better with wi-fi than 3G, or just the same? If it is the same then I would have to question whether this is actually your problem.
As to whether you should download songs beforehand, I would say that as a temporary measure it probably makes sense if it's possible as it will download them anyway and that way you get to listen to the music properly. However it does mean that you have to start downloading before you start listening which may be annoying.
I'd be interested to hear whether the performance is better with wi-fi than 3g though. It could be that I'm barking up the wrong tree.

FLV videos not playing correctly in Captivate 6

I am running into an issue where my FLV video is not playing correctly when my Captivate project is exported out and saved to the web. The FLV video is about 20 mins long (~100 MB) and it is being streamed from Kaltura. The FLV video is inputted into the Captivate project as a multi-slide synchronized video across 27 slides. The slides themselves are imported from Powerpoint. The problem that we are running into is that the Captivate project and the FLV video play correctly when viewed with decent bandwidth, but they do not appear to play correctly for users with slower bandwidth. However, if a user views the videos independently of Captivate, they can view the videos correctly, even at slower bandwidth. I have tried hosting the Captivate files on several different webservers, including an LMS. But the issue continues and I'm searching for any type of answers that might help.
Thanks for reading and any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Nathan

Nathan,
Your welcome, if that is the case, then can you try and insert the MultiSlide Video, you can insert the streaming video URL.
You can add the server to you computer as network Drive and then browser to that location, once you do that, the options to add the Video as Streaming can be chose and your Vidoe would remain insync with main playbar, users can play and pause content that way.
See if this can be implemented at your end.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Pdf not displayed correctly in preview

We have a new A) scanner (colortrac Ci40) and when we scan a pdf it is displayed in preview as if it is all wrinkled up.
Only in prewiew and if imorted in vectorworks. (on both OSX 10.5 and 10.6)
The same problem appears on a iPad.
It is not displayed correctly.
In all other programms I tried it is displayed properly.
We also have a small a4/a3 scanner from konica minolta and these scans display corectly in preview.
Is this only a preview problem and should I ignore it?

Hi there,
I have a very similar problem: a number of pdf files that I can see perfectly well in Safari/GoogleChrome do NOT show correctly in Preview or ANY iPad app I have (Notability, Adobe, PDF Expertm iAnnotate, Dropbox etc.).
The problem is that punctuation -- with the expection of periods or bolded text -- does not show properly. For example, commas and quotation marks to not show, and some numbers to not show.
Moreover, once I have annotated/viewed the problematic file on the IPad and resync to dropbox to view on Mac vis Adobe (which I do with most pdf files with no problems), I get an error message upon reopening the pdf file saying "Cannot extract the embedded font 'FAFWQV+--unknown-2--'. Some characters may not display or print correctly." (the 'quoted' text changes each time). When opening in Preview, no error message appears, though the fole is still lacking punctuation etc.
Here is a link to one problematic pdf:http://niis.cass.cn/upload/2012/12/d20121201200145301.pdf
NB: the file is in Mandarin, however I can successfully open/edit/annotate/sync other pdfs using Mandarin font so I'm not sure if the language is related to the problem.
I would be extremely grateful for some help with this please!
Thanks!

Embedded Quicktime not playing correctly in InDesign PDF - please help!!

ok - I have an issue that I can't work out and I'm hoping someone can help - tried searching for an answer to no avail. I've just built my first interactive PDF portfolio in InDesign. I should point out that I'm a producer/editor, so my knowledge of InDesign & Acrobat is not extensive. The PDF includes some embedded Quicktime movies. The movies play normally on one of my monitors (Samsung 1680x1050), but will not play correctly on my other two monitors (2x Samsung 1280x1024) - the audio plays and the play controller appears to be working but the video area is just all white...HOWEVER...if I open the PDF and play just one of the videos on my 1680x1050 monitor first, then all videos play correctly on all monitors. Have tried opening the PDF on another desktop and the movies do not work (in the same manner as above)- also tried on my laptop and the movies play correctly. Please help if you can - I need to get this out to clients and I'm baffled!! Thank You!

Some of my songs on itunes are not playing correctly...

i moved all my music files to my external hardrive, and they were working just fine. but for the last month, some random songs are not playing correctly!! they sound like how a scratched cd sounds (skipping, etc..., and then it just stops and it skips to the next song). the songs were playing perfectly before, it was all of a sudden, and not all, just some of them.)Also, the same songs that are not playing can not be transfered to my ipod... (tear)
PLEASE HELP!
(I have itunes 6)

Well, several people have now replied to this post, but if you mean Apple, the answer is "no". This is a user support forum, and Apple do not provide product support through it.
If you want to report a problem with something you have purchased, open the iTunes Store and login to your account. On the home page at the very bottom of the screen, you will see a link that says "Purchase History". Click this, and click the "Report a Problem" button and follow the instructions.

Hi just wanted to let you know I solved most of my XP problems with my new IPOD. It won't recognise the IPOD or driver and froze and locked up and then the battery died. After hours of trying different things here is what I did. I completly closed computer down. Waited 15 minutes turned on and reloaded everything. I put the usb cable in but not hooked up to IPOD. I turned off Mcaffee (all of it). After my computer came on. I then went and closed everything I didn't need in the bottom toolbar. (taskbar). I then reloaded the software and waited. Took forever to reload and I don't know why but whatever it worked but I DID NOT HOOK UP THE IPOD LIKE IT SAID! I instead shut down the computer after loading the software and waited 5 minutes and turned it back on. I again waited and shut of mcaffee. It loaded everything fine this time and said new hard ware and drivers detected. I plugged my IPOD in and YES I WAS UP AND RUNNING (THIS IS AFTER 6 HOURS OF PLAYING WITH OTHER THINGS!) I am able to load and play, burn, watch movies, see pictures and everything your suppose too! The only thing I see different than the instructions is I left my usb cable plugged in and when it said to eject the disk I didn't. I also didn't plug in the IPOD (5th Gen) and then I shut down waited and then restarted the computer. I hope this helps others because I know the feeling of wanting to return something you paid dearly for and worked hard at saving money to buy one and it doesn't work. My only thing I dislike about apple is they didn't supply a ac adapter for the IPOD and the instructions say to plug it up when trying to charge battery. DUHHHHHH, ya can't do that if ya don't have one and stores are closed and won' open until Monday! But at least I am up and running. I just hate having to plug up IPOD to computer daily to charge the battery which only last a half a day1

To whom it may concern, This morning I purchased an album, on listening to it three of the tracks are not playing correctly. I read on an apple discussion board that I should delete them and re-download them. This did not work as I was asked to pay for them, and one of the tracks was an album only track.

The music is not played correctly on my iphone (on Laptop it's ok)

Hi all
I loaded some songs from my laptop to the iphone4 (on the laptops the files are ok) but when I played on the iphone ....The music is not played correctly - I get some cuts and it's jumping from one song to another. A total reboot or update to the latest OS did not bring any change.
Thanks

I too have this problem which seems to be replicated several times in discussion groups. I've swictched off iTunes Match, backup up and restored my iPhone and nothing helps. I'll try other discussion threads but if anyone has a solution, PLEASE post!

Musik with Dialog not playing correctly

Hi there.
Music with spoken texts is not played correctly on my T410i with Windows 8 pro installed.
For example, the soundtrack to Kill Bill1
Track 5: Queen of the Crime Council - dialogue excerpt from film
Track 6: "Ode To Oren Ishii" - The RZA
The problem occurs in all music players (iTunes, Windows Media Player, the Windows8 App "Music" also flash based player of Sky.fm have this problem (e.g. http://www.sky.fm/play/altrock) .
Hardware: Lenovo T410i with Nvidia / Intel graphic card combination.
What I've done so far:
* reinstalled Drivers (Conexant 20585 SmartAudio HD).
* reinstalled Codec pack (Klite Codec Pack (32-bit and 64-bit)
* turned off the advanced features (bass management, Virtual Surround, ...) in the options of the speakers
* switched off the detection of communication activities.
* Speaker Setting is "Stereo" (two Speakers)
I have no idea why this happens, as soon as there is a spoken text in the music, it starts sounding bad with echo, cracking noise and the spoken texts are very very silent.
I don’t know how to fix this.

I am having the same problem with my Jam Pack loops. I bought the jam packs a few years ago and have been using them fine with my iBook. I put them on an external drive (trying to keep the iMac HD empty) and dropped the folder on my loops browser. They've worked fine with my iBook for years. I just got a new iMac and, again, dropped the folder on my loops browser. They play fine in the browser, but when I drop them in the timeline I only hear a faint beat.
Any suggestions?

Placed .swf does not play correctly

I have placed a .swf on a page. When exported to pdf the movie does not play correctly. It plays correctly before being placed. I used flash cs4 actionscript 3 to create the .swf.
I have selected the highest level for pdf when exporting.

ok! I figured it out. This is what is happening. Apparently when you place a .swf in indesign and make a button on the page to show the movie when clicked and then export to pdf -- there is a time delay from the time you click on the button and the movie starts to play in a floating window. Its just a few frames of 24 fps movie but that is enought for whatever gaget that reads the movie to miss the first few frames.
So in effect any info in the first few frames is not read. So i had a stop on the first frame that was not being read. I put the stop on frame 7 and now it plays just like I had hoped.
I hope this helps anybody else out that has had a similar problem.
