Quicktime 7.3 upgrade & iMovie 6 capture freeze

It seems that since I upgraded to QT7.3 iMovie will freeze at a random point during capture with built in isight. This makes my boss very unhappy after recording 3 min of his weekly video blog.
Anyone have any info on this or is downgrading to QT 7.2 the only option? I hope not because that means an entire reinstall of Tiger.

LIke Windows Vista doesn't have ANY issues working with older Windows XP applications.
WIth FCP 5.1.4, I am running QT 7.1.6...that is as far as I will go with the OLDER application. With FCP 6 I am running QT 7.3.
Getting things to work properly takes knowing what works with what.

IMovie clips freezing/stuttering while editing in playback & after exporting to Quicktime

I've been working with iMovie since 2003 and if its not one thing, its always another. This particular problem is a new one, and I can't seem to find the get around. Any advice would be appreciated!
Working on a wedding video (large event size but only 6-8 minute project) and the clips are freezing/stuttering in the project and viewer windows when I try to play them back. Each time it freezes, I get the spinning wheel for 5-10 seconds before I can place my marker and try again. Endless cycle. This happened in a few other projects, but those I was able to edit out the freezing clips OR found that exporting to Quicktime seemed to smooth out the glitches, just made editing a pain.
Not this time. Even after exporting to Quicktime, there are still numerous glitches in my quicktime movies (using default and numerous other settings).
Here are the things I've tried: reinstalling my iLife 09 software, running all the updates, clearing off my hard drive (to give me 70+GB of space), detaching my external hard drive and only using internal memory, restarting, and deleting the plists. No luck, still have these glitches.
Could this be an issue with audio or using the stabilization option (used that for the first time)?

.. 90min movie .. share to iDVD .. iMovie would freeze and be unresponsive.. .exporting to QuickTime .. 13 hours .. random stills .. iMovie will freeze ..
Would putting all of the clips and the project on an external hard drive help? Would updating to OS 10.5.8 help exporting to QuickTime?
plus your profile, MacBook, indicates to me, your internal harddrive is full.
check with DiskUtility, how many partitions your internal drive has.
check, how much free disk space internal you offer your apps.
imho, extHDD is a MUST when editing video..
.. is there any way to move our already edited clips from iM09 to iM06?
use 'Export using Quicktime', choose dv-stream (for SD content) or AppleIntermediate (for HD content) - these are the only codecs, iMHD6 reads..
this export consolidate the project => it comes into iMHD6 as a single solid file, e.g. no more editing of titles, which are now 'burned into film'.
_consider to create a special 'transfer'-version of your project:_
in Project Browser, select project, ctrl-click, 'duplicate', and create a pre-production version (no titles, no music, additional material for further editing, longer clips to add transitions in iMHD6.. ect)

Quick Time screen capture freezes when i'm working with Modo 3D. Any solution?

Hi guys, When I'm working with Luxology Modo, Quick Time screen capture freezes every time on Mac OS X Mavericks. When I'm doing some operation in Modo, like slice geometry per exemple, QuickTime crashes. I must force quit quicktime and when I relauch the application, the screen capture opens but screen capture ends at the time when I cliked on the Modo slice operation. It's frustrating because I can't do nothing with screen capture. I tried other screen capture applications but the problem persists! When I was using Snow Leopard Quick Time works very well!! Do you have some resolution for this problem? Regards, César.

I'm using OS X Mavericks as well, and it seems like the same thing happens when I try to type in MonoDevelop, part of the Unity package. Unity works fine, it only seems as though I can't screen record typing in MonoDevelop. It looks like it's still recording, it just has the rainbow wheel of death after I try to finish out the Quicktime. I left it up for several days and ignored it, but it still didn't finish. I finally had to force quit it and reopen it and when I did it opened up the temporary file of the video I was recording, but it stopped whenever I started to type into the MonoDevelop interface. The first time it let me save the video to the desktop. The second time, the time which I left it open for days, it would not let me save it, on command-S or on exit. I don't know exactly what's wrong, but I believe that you know as much as I do. Please post a reply if you need any more information or have a fix.

Upgrading iMovie 2.1 to 3 or 4

I have an elaborate project that I have created in iMovie 2. I want to add DVD chapters and to do so I understand that I must upgrade to at least 3. How do I do this? It appears that the download section of the apple site has iMovie 3 and an update but the link doesn't work. I get an .exe file downloaded that I can't open. I purchased iLife 06 but that just upgrades iMovie HD and when I try to open the iMovie 2 file in iMovie HD its all messed up. PLease help!

Handyman777,
It appears that the download section of the apple site has iMovie 3 and an update but the link doesn't work. I get an .exe file downloaded that I can't open.
Now that's one for the books, xxx.exe are windows executable files. It seems unlikely that Apple would have these files available for an iMovie download of any type for any purpose.
The only App(s) (I am aware of) that end with that extension and available for download on Apple's site would be Quicktime and iTunes for Windows.
Are you sure you're not mixing something up, please share the link to the update you're referring to.

IMovie capture quits at 32secs

Just upgraded iMovie 08 a few days ago, tried first capture, it quits at 3X seconds. I went back to iMovie 6 and try the same tape, no problem. I have the latest 7.1 and my DV cam is Sony DCR-PC3, I never had one fail on iMovie 6, any thought? Alex

Can I still use iMovie 6 to capture and transfer the clips to version 7? As far as I know, 7 doesn't open 6 file, correct me if I am wrong. iMovie 6 capture works flawless.
Sure. Open the older version of iMovie, import your files normally, and then save the project. Now go to the "Project" file and Control-click on it to open the contextual menu. Select the "Show Package Contents" option. When the package opens, open the "Media" folder. Inside you should find the DV files you just captured. Now either drag the files to an iMovie '08 event window (if available) or drag the file(s) to a visible location on your hard drive for later import. Don't forget to delete the iMovie (older version) project files when done so you won't get a "nasty-gram" the next time you open the application. As to not opening iMovie '06 projects, did you save it before opening iMovie '08 and trying to open it?

IMovie keeps freezing on editing

I just got my macbook pro a week ago, brand new but for the past few days my iMovie keeps freezing up whenever i try to edit a video, or scroll through a clip. I can't use the option-command-escape to force quit because it doesn't work, and i can't click on any of the other apps or icons. The only way was to hold down the power button and restart my laptop. Even after restarting, it still does the same thing, freezes up in the middle of editing or scrolling, then i have to shut down and restart my laptop again. I've googled for ways to deal with it but none of them seem to work. Can someone please tell me how to fix it? I had no problems editing, importing and exporting from my old macbook white, and neither from my new macbook pro in the beginning but it's getting really frustrating that i have to reboot every single time and i feel like that would ruin the laptop as it's brand new.

Bengt W,
I appreciate your help. Yes, all my photo and videos are originating from iPhoto '11 (that is how my camera imports). I did exactly as you describe above and I was able to complete the movie and make a DVD that I needed for Christmas?   SO that was great. And I greatly appreciate your time and efforts to make that happen.
However, we are back to the same problems and nothing seems to fix these movies now and they are still doing the same thing described above. I am so discouraged that I just have not done anything more until recently.
Yesterday, iPhoto just disappeared. I had iMovie open overnight. The next day the iPhoto icon had a circle with a diagonal line and when I clicked on the icon "Damaged or corrupted ..." was the message. I checked Finder and there was no longer an iPhoto application!   I reinstalled iPhoto from my DVD and did updates but only got to version 9.2.3. Then I noted in the Apple store there is a version 9.4.2. But I cannot get that version because it requires OS 10.7.5 but I have 10.6.8. Similar problem with iMovie, I have version 9.0.4 and the newest is 9.0.8.
I have watched the "reviews" of these new OS, iPhoto, and iMovie.   They are getting hammered by users with a wide range of problems and low ratings. If that were not the case I would just pay the money and see if upgrading the OS and these apps would help. Frankly, I don't have any confidence it would. I about to declare my two year experiment with Apple as a failure and that is very sad because I've invested hundreds of hours trying to make/keep their software working.   Ultimately the market place will decide but recent user feedback sure seems to point to some ugly outcomes.   Sorry for my rant but Apple should not impose on folks like you who are so giving to overcome their product shortcomings.

I am unable to upload Quicktime movies made with imovie to the web. I've tried using Filezilla (which worked well until recently) or even going directly to the webhost via Cox. The upload gets caught in a loop. nojo99

IMovie 11 Freezing at startup and file structure

Hi,
I know others have asked about iMovie 11 freezing at startup. I haven't, however, seen much discussion of the event file structure. To solve the freezing startup, I put all the event directories (folders) in a temp folder and brought only the necessary ones back into the iMovie Events folder, checking after each "move" that iMovie would start. I'm not thrilled about this approach, because it seems like iMovie could freeze anytime and I'd be back to square one. Anyway, my question concerns the directory structure of each event folder.
One of my events, Halloween, has three clips *.dv, an iMovie Data file, and three subdirectories: iMovie Movie Cache, iMovie Thumbnails, and iMovie Waveforms. iMovie Thumbnails has three clips *.mov and its own iMovie Movie Cache directory. The two iMovie Movie Cache directories seem to have the same content.
This doesn't make sense to me. Why two iMovie Movie Cache directories with the same content? What can I safely delete if iMovie starts freezing.
Thanks!
Bruce

Thank you. What about the iMovie Data file, can I delete that, too? Also, do you know why iMovie Thumbnails has its own copy of iMovie Movie Cache? Lastly, are these folders (the ones I can delete) the ones that seem to confuse iMovie 11 and freeze it upon startup? I went to an Apple store, but the "genius" had a limited knowledge of iMovie 11. Where does one find out about these things!
Thanks again,
Bruce

I had quicktime pro, I upgraded to snow leapoard and installed iLife and lost quicktime pro. How do I get it back. I tried re installing quicktime but it will not let me??

Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
(Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)

I movies work with sound in quicktime but not in imovie hd!!!

I have clips that worked in imovie hd before but all of a sudden the sound will not work, but they will work in quicktime....any ideas?

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Some clips - which started life not as DV camcorder clips, but might be .AVI, or somesuch, downloaded from the web, or shot as movies with a digital stills camera - may have audio in QuickTime but not in iMovie.
QuickTime understands and replays many different file formats (..see all the different file formats QuickTime Player can handle, in the right-hand column here..) ..some of which iMovie can't handle.
If your clips "..worked in imovie hd before but all of a sudden the sound will not work.." it might be because you'd had QuickTime open in the background, previously, or because you'd altered them in some way ..or maybe you 'Extracted' their audio, but don't have the check-boxes ticked for the audio tracks at the right-hand edge of the Timeline.
The most important question is: were these clips originally from a tape-based DV camcorder, or did you import them from something else, e.g; web, hard disc camcorder, DVD camcorder, .AVI or other iMovie-incompatible origins?

Why i can´t upgrade iMovie to 10.0.0.?

hello,
Why I cant´t upgrade iMovie to version 10.0.0.?
I have version 8.0.6. and a MacBook Pro (end of 2008).
The App Store won´t show me the upgrade and it isn´t in the purchased-list.....
What can I do?

The free upgrade to iMovie version 10 requires your machine have iMovie version 9 installed.
You have version 8 so the upgrade isn't free.

IMovie 09 freezes each time I open the project I'm working on. Help?

iMovie 09 freezes each time I open the project I'm working on. It has worked perfectly fine the past week, but now it won't load different aspects of the screen. For example, when I role over the screen the video will play in the small play back screen, but I can't actually see the film strip or make any changes. Any suggestions? I need to finish this video for work - would love any help!

Try trashing iMovie's preference file. See this User Tip by AppleMan1958:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4061
The Tip relates to iMovie '11. For iMovie '09 the preference file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist" and will be found in your Home folder Library/Preferences (NOT the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD).

10.4 upgrade disk keeps freezing in same spot

I am trying to up grade from 10.3.9 to 10.4 using Max OS X Tiger up grade disk (includes Xcode2) that I purchased. I purchased a 320 Gb Western Digital internal drive , formated it to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) single partition. I then installed OS 10.3.9 with all the software up dates+ applications and when I try to use the single Upgrade disk it freezes each time at the same place-INSTALLING ESSENTIALS 93% 22 minutes to go, I have tried both the Original Install option and the Archieve and Install option (without checking the little box). I am stumped. Does anyone have an idea what the problem is. I have been customizing the install by not using foreign languages and only checking hp for printer drivers but that shouldn't really matter or should it. I could use some help. Thanks. JDB

Dear BD Aqua,
I solved the problem by changing the jumper on the back of the drive to Slave. Now have new problem which I have posted:
I recently installed 10.4.11 with all up dates on a new start up hard drive. I used the migration program to transfer all files and applications. Now iPhoto will not open on the new start up hard drive from any of the mounted drives but it will if I restart using the old start up drive. What do I have to do to get iPhoto to open?
Any suggestions
Thanks for your interest.

Imovie 08 freezes

imovie 08 freezes right after i open it up. It won't let me do anything and the little colored wheel just keeps spinning. I have to go to force quit to get out of it. force quit says that imovie 08 is not responding. i tried reinstalling the software and that still did not work, i also did a repair disk permissions
can anyone help. Iphoto seems to work fine

If you have video clips in iPhoto, this could cause it to hang. Open iPhoto, make a duplicate of ONE of your video clips and close iPhoto. Then open iMovie. It will open, eventually, after a minute or so of the spinning beach-ball; maybe how long depends on how much video the iMovie has to load. It maybe 'unexpectedly quit', but just restart it.
That's how I got iMovie08 to run.
