Problem seeing video/audio from thumbnails

Hello,
I have an old iMovie '08 (7.1.4) with clips showing in the thumbnail section, but am unable to view/hear those clips in the preview section. There is a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it in the lower left of the thumbnail. Can anyone tell me what that means, and what I need to to do actually be able to see/use the clips? Thank you for any help.
(oh, and I don't dare update the iMovie software again for fear of a) losing what video I have and b) being thoroughly confused for another three years!)

Hi
There is a small yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it in the lower left of the thumbnail.
This means that iMovie can not locate the original raw material - most often due to that
folders named
• iMovie Projects - or -
• iMovie Events
been moved.
One must not move or alter anything in them !
Moving movie material - HAS TO BE DONE - Within iMovie application in Events window
(iM'08 only events can be moved) (in iM'09 or 11 projects too can be moved out to external
hard disks)
Try to move everything back to where it was and then do the move in the right way.
External Hard Disks !
• HAS to be - Mac OS Extended formatted (nothing else works for VIDEO)
• Should be a FireWire one - as USB/USB2 performs badly and slow

  • Autosync - Sync Detection Problem with Video/Audio from different sources

    Hi,
    i've got the following problem:
    I'm editing a feature film, where video comes from tape and audio from harddisc-recorder. The clips are combined/linked manually via in-point (slate).
    If I cut this video/audio combined clip in the timeline, and move only the audio 3 frames to the right, sync detection informs me correct about the out of sync problem (3 frames). BUT: If I split the audio file in two pieces, the left clip still has the "out of sync" info in the timeline and remains "linked" to the video, but the right clip doesn't show his relation to the video anymore !!!
    Is this a bug ?
    Because, if I use video and audio from one "media-source", ex dv, the sync detection in the timeline is working correct with the above example ?
    I'm lookin' for a similar way to sync clips like autosync with media-composer and thought combine audio and video clip to a new combined clip should do this....
    Thanks for help !

    I have my waveforms back! Thank you SO MUCH! I looked everywhere and just couldn't find a setting for this.
    As for the sync, I guess that's OK - it's no worse than what I had before (and with the waveforms back, less of an issue to do manually). Would be nice if they'd add the ability to offset the audio track in the Modify Clip screen at some point (and it would open up the multi-cam sync feature to more users), but I can cope without for now.
    Thanks again for your help.

    Hi,
    Error 7 is when a router or the connection to the router is broken in some way.
    Some devices have features such as Denial Of Service protection (DoS) that cut a particular Internet Port when it thinks too much data is coming (Presuming it is an attack.)
    iChat 5 in Leopard is not capped by the System Preferences > Quicktime Streaming speed (which we used to suggest was set at 1.5Mbps)
    It now sees your whole Connection speed and your Upload may be much faster than this.
    Your Download is likely to be much faster. However iChat will tend to operate at the lower figure of your Upload.
    DoS features are threshold based.
    You may now be bumping in to this Threshold where you were not before.
    SPI (Stateful packet Inspection) does a different job but has the same effect when it is overloaded by the speed of the data.
    If you have either of these features, turn them Off (Disable them)

  • Problem when exporting audio from Premiere Pro v4.2.1 into wave 5.1 format

    Hello to Adobe experts!
    After installing of last updates for Adobe Premiere Pro (v4.2.1) and for Media Encoder (v4.2.0.006) the was a problem:
    Now I cannot to export audio from adobe sequence into uncompressed wave format with 5.1 channels settings. Source m2ts video files in sequence are with 5.1 audio.
    What I doing:
    1) in Premiere I execute "File\Export\Media"
    2) Export settings are:
    - format: Windows Waveform
    - audio codec: Ucompressed
    - basic audio settings: 44100Hz, Channels: 5.1, Sample Type 16bit
    3) After OK button it opens Adobe Media Encoder.
    4) After pressing Start Queue in Adobe Media Encoder there is a message "Error compiling movie. Unknown error"
    In earlier versions it worked fine.
    Can you help me with this problem?
    Alexander

    Here are the options, from a sequence with 5.1 master track:
    and with Surcode:
    Notice that first one does only give stereo as an option. Nothing more. With Surcode it gives you 5.1 sound.

  • Is it possible to stream live video & audio from device cameras & mics to a server?

    I would like to know if I can use flash builder to stream live video and audio from Android & IOS device cameras and mics to a media streaming server such as Flash Media Server or Wowza? I know the Android & IOS APIs allow for this but can it be done using Flex/Actionscript? The key here is "live" so you wouldn't want to have to wait for video and audio files to complete on the disk before sending it out. Ideally you would send it out via RTMP or HTTP streaming to stream out but any stream would do since once it gets to the server you can encode it.

    Hi
    Yes, It's can do but There is a problem on IOS 8 when Switch Camera, Microphone is muted and Sound return when I press home button from my iphone out and press app again for few second
    You can use as same as flash desktop video streaming for coding in mobile.
    Good luck

  • Problems with Airplay audio from Ipad to Apple Tv 2

    Hi
    I recently bought an apple tv 2 mainly to use it to airplay content from my ipad. Video streams perfectly the problem is with audio, every single time I play any song it stops playing for a second or 10 quite often. I cant play a single song without getting this annoying silents. I thought it might be a problem with my Wifi although the router is pretty close to the ipad so I changed routers but still the same problem also Video streams great, Ive seen complete 2 hour movies with no problems at all. I got an update to the apple tv 2 today and thought that might solve the problem but it didnt.
    ¿Does anyone else have this problem?
    ¿Does anyone know what it might be?
    Thanks for your help.

    Fixed this.
    I started fooling around with the Wifi and noticed that as soon as the signal was down to one or two bars the video also had problems when streaming and also had problems streaming from my Macbook. Thats when I realized the problem was not iOS dependant. So I went to a shop bought two nice and shiny N-Wireless routers connected one upstairs where my internet connection is and setup the second one as a repeater bridge downstairs 5mts away from the apple TV so that it gets full signal. Dont have any problems with Audio nor Video since.
    Cheers

  • Can I see video stream from a website on my tv from my desktop with apple tv

    I am trying to watch a weekly video stream from a website using my Mac desktop on my tv with Apple Tv..can I do this?

    If your computer is a Mac and new enough (2011+) then maybe.  See required specs here:

    If you have an older Mac or Windows machine try airparrot.

  • Video/Audio from new macbook to HD TV?

    So, I'm wondering how i can connect the new MacBook to my HD TV which supports HDMI. Can i connect a mini DisplayPort/HDMI adapter and get both video and audio into my TV?
    I haven't seen any adapters of that kind in Apple Store.
    Is there perhaps another way to archive this?

    Barring some other adapter being released, either by Apple or a third party, you'd get the Mini Display Port to DVI adapter and then use a DVI to HDMI adapter/cable. You'll also need to connect the audio to the TV separately, so check to make sure your TV will allow audio from a different input when using the HDMI input for video; not all do.

  • Problems importing videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS to iPhoto

    I am having problems importing any videos recorded from my iPhone 3GS onto iPhoto. iPhoto keep giving me the following error:
    "Error downloading Image. iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image."
    If anyone else is having the same problem, please advise on how to fix.
    Thanks,

    I am having the same problem...
    and Image Capture ( didn't know we would normally be able to use it, but you can) also give an error
    "Import Error"
    Now I have used "ITimelapse pro" to transfer some timelapse movies (about 3 that are about 30 to 60 seconds long) that I made to the phone's photo library.. and I has a very long video that I mistakenly made - (15 minutes long or so) and I "trimmed" it to be a few minutes long. -- and used "JotNot" to send a photo to the photo library... otherwise I have only some regular photos (about 40 ) and about 2 regular videos in the library.
    so any suggestions... ( I am emailing all that I can to myself ... maybe ridding everything will help)

  • Problem importing video clips from Panasonic SDR-S10

    Hi, can anyone help? In iMovie I try to import my video clips from my Panasonic Camcorder SDR-S10 and it shows clips there, but when you click on them the clip icon disappears. Try to import and it doesn't import anything? Any ideas.
    Anyone know a workaround for importing clips from this camera I get a lot of problems with a Mac when using this one.
    Thanks
    Hayley

    I have the same camcorder and have used Visual Hub to convert the .mod clips to .dv files which work just fine with iMovie. You can try out Visual Hub for clips less than 2 minutes in length in the trial mode. I think it costs about $20. Also, I've heard you can buy an mpeg2 plug in for Quicktime Pro that will let you use those files. I think that is also about $20.
    Also, search the apple discussions for ".mod" and you'll find a lot of other similar questions to the one you asked.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am having problems with video playback from the Internet such as you tube on my iPad. What's up?

    I am having trouble with video playback from the Internet such as you tube. What's up?

    Your video playback will also depend on your net speed. If you have slow internet, you will stream video slow. If your video stops and starts, you can try pausing it for a minute or so and then try to watch. Let more of it buffer before you try to watch.
    Sometimes your connection is so slow you literally play faster than it buffers, which means it stops and stutters continually
