Putting Text over a video is not working

O.K. I follow the instructions on putting text over a video (for iMovie 11), but every time I do this all I see is a black screen with the text in it. I can't get the video to show up when I preview/play the video. I have the same problem when trying to use the green screen feature as well. Is there a setting or something that I need to change in iMovie? If so what/where is it, because I am at my "witts end" trying to find it?

I would suggest trashing the iMovie Preferences file. Instructions are here. (You should not need to trash the iApps preferences, just the iMovie one.)

Quicktime Movies pretty much useless if you want to put text over them

Bummer. Was hoping there would be much improvement in playing QT movies (especially H.264 movies) within KN3 when using animations or text overlays. This rocks in PPT and in MediaShout - seems simple to do. Anyway, if you put text over a movie and want it to fade in and out, the movie pauses for just a second which makes it look silly. Any ideas how to make this run smoothly. We are constantly wanting to put lyrics over songs that vocalists can follow with bg video playing.

I do know NOT using the presenter display will help as it's bogging down the processor when movies are playing. Hopefully MediaShout for mac will be out sometime in the next few months and you can use that

Video does not work in iOS 8.3

I have the iPhone 6 128GB. I did update to iOS 8.3.
I have some problems after the update... video does not work, it wont play, i can click on the play button but nothing happens.
The problem ocurs in safari when i visit news sites and try to play video in articles.
When i get snapchat with video... it wont play, it is only black screen with the seconds counting down... and some times it just craches the snap app...
I cant watch videos in instagram or facebook...
I live in Norway and I think it is stupid that Apple still has not fixed the keyboard... the "123" key and the "globe" key swithc place with each other in portrait and landscape mode... why...!?! ( this is when i use Norwegian keyboard )
Yes i have rebooted the phone holding in both buttons until apple logo is visible 2 times
Yes i have rebooted the phone even more
Yes i have quitted the apps that was open and the only way i get the black screen away in snapchat is by killing the App...
Apple... i am not impressed.

Here is the strangest thing, what works for you does not necessarily help other. I rebooted my phone several times, and yes, youtube finally worked, but only for some hours then it did not work. I did quit all Apps and rebooted with home and power button pressed inn until apple logo appeared and disappeared again, i had to press power to start the phone. I repeated this step. Now the videos where playing in all apps. The next morning i did get a snap on my iPhone, i tried to see it, but it was only black screen with text and a clock counted down to 0, but it stopped on 1... and the app froze.
I dubble clicked the home button, and there where 25 active apps, apps that i had not used for days and note... i manually quitted all apps the day before... how did this apps appear again ? The Apps that where terminated do appear again after reboot... i don't know why, i have still trouble to see video. I hope for a fix from Apple, because i have so much i don't want to loose in my phone.

Where left off video setting not working in ios 7

Since upgrading to ios 7 the 'Where left off' stting on the Video is not working. I have turned it off/on and it is ticked. Every time I switch off the iPad 2 and then turn it on again the last video played place is not remembered - it always resets at the beginning. This happens on my iPhone 4s as well as that is at ios 7 now as well. Both devices were OK with remembering the video place before upgrading.
The videos are produced from Handbrake and not store purchases but I dont have any store purchases to try it out.
Anyone else seeing this (or not)
Paul

I have this problem too since IOS7, except I don't have to switch my ipad off, I simply have to have not watched a video for a bit and when I switch back to the vid app it forgets all over again. VLC looks to be the much better app

Hi Guys,
I am using the full width video widget on a site. The widget was working perfectly however I have just added additional content to the site and re-uploaded and now the video is not working! Please help I have tried everything and am freaking out as this web-site has been payed for by my client.

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Video does not Work in iTunes Store please help! annoying problem!

The video does not work in the itunes store. I get no picture, only sound when i want to preview a music video or a movie trailer. No video at all. However, i can watch my movies and music videos that i already own. Please, is there any smart guy who knows a solution?

I'm having this same issue. I tried some things but still couldn't get it to work the way it used too.
It will not play the video portion in iTunes only the audio if I click on the song. If I switch the settings from Music Video to TV show in the info tab, the file plays fine. If I open it in Quicktime, the file plays fine.
I've tried changing the preferences so that the video will play in the iTunes window, in a separate window, etc. and all it plays is the audio and will show the artwork instead of playing the video.

Enable the "Video chat enhancements" lab in Gmail or select 'enable high resolution video' in your Chat settings in iGoogle or Google+. The Video Chat Enhancements is under "Labs" in your Gmail Settings. It works fine.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I cant copy/paste from an article to my web site, get a Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.HELP

Tried to copy/paste from an article to my web site and got a "cannot copy /paste " warning and was directed to a security perferences site that said that Mozilla Rich Text Editing demo page will not work.
Tried to find my Firefox profile directory using the start menu and was directed to hit enter to go to web. Feel like i am getting run around.

Let's start with something very basic, and that is, you do not need to use the paste button on most websites. The button just reads what is on your clipboard and sticks it into the form. You can do that yourself using Ctrl+v or right-click>Paste.
For your security, I suggest using those standard Windows keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+x cut, Ctrl+c copy, Ctrl+v paste) or the context menu.
Occasionally you will find a paste button that runs a clean-up script or otherwise does something useful. That is where the (admittedly a bit complicated) instructions come in handy.
To open your active profile folder, you can use:
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Which help article are you using for the modifications?
Finally, please be cautious in opening up your clipboard to sites. You may have stuff you copied from other pages or other programs that you do not want to share with most sites.

Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

Video Posting Not Working for One Page - Working fine on others...

I have a page created using iWeb that features a video, however the video will not load properly when the page is opened.
here is a link to the page where the video DOES NOT work:
http://web.mac.com/minorstrachan/iWeb/Surviving/Surviving%20WEB.html\
I published the page using homepage and the video works, here is a link to the page where the video DOES WORK:
http://homepage.mac.com/minorstrachan/iMovieTheater6.html
As anyone can clearly see, the quality of the homepage created site is not nearly as good as the iWeb created site and therefore I would much prefer the iWeb site to work.
So far I have tried renaming the video, creating a new page in iWeb, creating a new site in iWeb, and re-encoding the video and using the new encode.
So far none of these solutions has worked. Does anyone have any advice/experience with this or similar problems?
And just for the record, I'm using the latest version of iWeb, 1.1.2.
Thank You,
My personal email address is [email protected]

At the very least, you should take the last slash off the end of that URL above....otherwise it won't work... like this...
http://web.mac.com/minorstrachan/iWeb/Surviving/Surviving%20WEB.html
To better shield you from making errors like this, you should focus on using the shortest URL possible to get to your page. For your situation with multiple sites, you can use this general URL format...
http://web.mac.com/username/iWeb/sitename , which would yield...
http://web.mac.com/minorstrachan/iWeb/Surviving
That should fix your problem.
