Scrubbing over movie= crashes

When I scrub over a movie clip (iphone or ipod) in the event timeline, iMovie crashes everytime.  I have been working on a 25 minute movie and don't want to lose.  Any suggestions on how to stop the crashing?

The major issue is adding movies and scrubbing over the movie to preview that are in iPhoto.  They play ok in iPhoto and appear in the Event Library, but when I try to preview in the library the program locks up the whole computer.  I have the latest 13" MBP.

  • I Movie crashing during export

    I've been trying to make a movie and every time I try to export it my I Movie crashes! First I thought it was because my hard disk was too full, but I have over 30 GB on it and the problem still continues. I can make short clips just fine, but 30 min and up is a problem. Please help!

    A couple suggestions...
    Can you tell what format and codec you've chosen? (e.g. QuickTime movie with H.264)
    does changing this to something else work?
    Does the problem occur only on one project or multiple different ones? What about a new project with just a simple video clip (no titles, transitions, audio...)?
    Have you made large movies before or never been able to?

  • Serious frustration over constant crashing of InDesign CS6

    Hi everyone
    I am seriously beyond frustrated over constant crashing from InDesign CS6. If InDesign is a person, I would have slammed its face into the wall by now. Just these two days, while working on a 160 pages document, Indesign has crashed more than 20 times and everytime it does, the crash report is too large to post to pastebin.
    Basically, when I reflow text, it crashed. When I tried generating TOC it crashed. While inserting new cross references, I mis-clicked and clicked on "update" instead and it crashed. When I deleted one page, it crashed. When I deleted one textbox, it crashed. I can't seem to stop it from crashing. I'm really really frustrated coz there's no one or place I can take the damn document to so that I can some answers from someone why it crashes soooo frequently. I did another document, which was around the same size, it was fine. No drama. Why this is different?
    Is it because I have a running headers? So everytime I do something, it will update and then crash? Can I stop running headers from updating automatically? Can I set it to update manually?
    I'm soooooooooooooooo over it. I can't seem to figure out the crashing problem. I have turned off Smart Flow thinking that it was what causing it. Still the same thing.
    I'm running OSX Mountain Lion with SF4.
    I'm sure it will crash again. I might have to post a pdf doc of the crash report.
    Any idea will be appreciated

    It could be a font but there's nothing I could do about it because it's a template document. I have to use that font, DIN by the way.
    Yes, there are cross references and some of them were transferred from Word doc when I placed text in. So I went through and removed those coz they were wrong anyway.
    I also added cross references to the running headers like this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBgBQJLErCM
    Basically, the style of the document (designed by another designer) had numbering in front of the chapter titles and it's throughout the document so there could be up to 12 running titles. I had a feeling it would be this because this is the only thing I did differently this time around using this file, but it's either this way or create 12 Master Pages.
    Does anyone know how else can I do a running headers with numbering?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Movie crashed how do i get it back?

    Wathching a rental movie crashes half way though - then can't find downloads in settings menu....

    If you are using version 9.09 check in your iMovie projects folder in your Movies folder and see if the project is there. If your version is 10.0.2 then select your iMovie Library and right/control click on it and select show package contents. Check to see if the project is there. If no success then use time machine to restore.

  • I-Movie CRASHES directly after ANY import

    ok so
    anytime i try and import a movie file of any kind, or footage off of a camera i movie crashes.
    the import will occur but as soon as it reaches the end, BANG, bye bye i movie
    this originally happened with Imoive HD, but i got myself the newest version and and it still crashes.
    Not only imovie but Toast crashes when i try and import a movie.
    i have also deleted quicktime and downloaded the newest verion but its still does the bad
    HELP MEEE!!!! MOVIES ARE MY LIFE!!! IM SO DEPRESSED ETC ETC ETC

    OH YES. PLENTY OF SPACE. LIKE 23 GIG
    theres something wrong with quicktime i think but
    like, gah. i have no freakn idea. and silly apple
    actually charge to fix their own muss ups
    23 GB may not be enough depending on your movie.
    Try deleting the preference files:
    Quit iMovie.
    Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder.
    The files are located here:
    -->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist

  • Atv 1 no longer able to stream or copy over movies

    Hi
    I have the original atv which since installing lion seems to no longer be able to stream movies without them stopping about every minute, or be able to copy the movie over from itunes, for example it has been copying a movie over from itunes all day and its still not done.
    Anyone having the same issue
    Does anyone have an answer.
    I have all system up to date with latest itunes
    Funnily enough I can watch the movies stream to my iphone from my  mac with no issues,
    I have changed channels on the router and have a reasonable connection speed.
    thanks
    chris

    I am having the same issue - ever since I went to Lion my Apple TV 1 doesn't stream without crashing.  My Apple TV 2 works just fine...
    We can't be the only ones...

  • Embedded QT movie crashes browsers

    We just got 7.0.2 Pro, converted several Matrox RT.X .avi's to H.264 videos, embedded them into simple .html and uploaded. When you go to the page, most of the time it will crash immediately. Although sometimes, depending on bandwidth, the file will download a large chunk and will play okay, until it catches up to the buffer. You can even manually scrub forward (to catch up to what has already downloaded) and it will crash. This has been tried on multiple systems with both IE and Opera and the same results.
    Before clicking on any of the links, keep in mind it very well could crash your browser. Just a warning
    The page is here: http://rendermedia.net/projects/c6/c6test.htm - http://rendermedia.net/projects/c6/c6.mov for the file direct. Also, http://rendermedia.net/projects/c6/c6test2.htm - this page is the same as the first, only it lacks the <object> tag.
    Anyone have any ideas about the problem, or a remedy? Any help would be appreciated.

    According to the link the only thing I was missing was autoplay and controller attributes. I added those but still had the same problem. However, after that I turned off autoplay and everything works fine. I guess it's a glitch with Fast Start and autoplay? Thanks for the help Kirk!

  • Over 40 crashes since yesterday; almost no tolerance for heat

    I have been running a MacBook Pro for about three years now, and have been plagued with crashes for a long time. I can hardly use it now. Seems to be extremely heat sensitive. I have SMC Fan Control running, as well as sitting it on a cooling stand with two fans. It will crash if the temp rises above about 50 or 55 degrees, and then will not restart til it cools back down. Means I often cannot restart for 10-30 minutes.
    Sometimes it crashes on the startup blue screen, sometimes it gets all the way to the login screen but then freezes before I can enter my password. Other times I login but then it crashes before loading. Sometimes I can get to the apps but then it crashes when I load Apple Mail or Firefox or anything. Then, seemingly for no reason, it will just start working fine and I can run for 10 or 20 hours without a hitch, running Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Flash, and other programs without a problem.
    Any ideas what is happening here? I sometimes get multicolored streaks across the screen. Other times it seems to "tear" or distort blocks of the screen, or tint a block some odd color, which then returns to normal when that part of the screen refreshes or moves.
    I have seen several posts saying that the video cards were defective, but mine is a Radeon X1600, and I don't think they were included in the defective lists.
    I am also in a remote area, with no Apple stores within several days' drive, and cannot afford to lose my Mac for a few weeks while it is sent away for repairs. Anything anyone can suggest would be a great help!
    Thanks

    Thanks very much Allan for sticking with me on this. I think I'm really coming to understand some things here. Would really appreciate one more reply if you could...
    1) I don't think the mdworker is the problem. Yes it runs heavily when nothing else is on, but if I run apps, it drops down to a very low level. It only seems to take a lot of the CPU when nothing else is running, and that seems logical to me. Just using available resources. So technically, I don't think that that mdworker is my problem.
    2) The system runs flawlessly in safe mode. No heat issues at all. Unfortunately though, it also lacks wireless, audio, video, and other operations that safe mode discontinues. So it's not a suitable working environment. It does though suggest that the issue is something that works in normal mode, but not in safe mode. The big question, of course, is what. I removed everything from the startupItems folders, and also shut down anything I could find that affects normal startup, but the problem is still there in normal mode. It will almost never even let me get to the user sign-in screen; just crashes on the blue screen.
    3) I found this thread from a few months ago, and it includes a screen shot that looks a lot like the trouble I'm having. His problem was a bad video card. Makes me wonder. Here's that thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8487954&#8487954
    So with all that said, I'll phone Apple tech support tomorrow to see if I can get them to tackle that mother board, or help me track down the issue. I'm well over warranty, but something has to be done here. This Mac is pretty much dead in normal mode.
    Thanks again for your help. Comments Allan or anyone?

  • Ingress software or iPhone issue over app crash and battery heating up

    Hi all
    As you know the ingress games requires you to keep the phone while moving around to recharge the XM, and of course that reduce dramatically the battery, so I do carry a battery pack or two.
    Recently, when the phone is kept on for a few hours my iPhone 4s automatically shut down, or even crash the ingress app. and the phone heats up after kept on for over just over 3 hrs, and sometimes beyond this the phone shuts down.
    Does anyone have this battery heating up issues or automatic shutting down after hours of keeping the phone on even connected to a battery pack?

    While on the HOME screen double-press the Home button. The Quick Launch bar will appear on the bottom of the screen. Hold any icon until they all display "-", then tap the "-" on each one until they are all gone.
    Next, reboot the phone by holding the HOME and SLEEP buttons until an Apple logo appears.
    BTW, this assumes your phone is not jailbroken. If it is then that is your problem, and you will have to find solutions somewhere else, as it can't be discussed in an Apple-hosted forum.

  • Ive uninstalled and re-installed over and over, firefox crashed like a week ago, everytime i try and open it, it wont it puts up the crash box again and again. why? pleez can you help my firefox will not load.

    everytime i try and open firefox it crashes i click to restart it and send report but its the same thing over and over nuthin changes, i used firefox up till like week ago now it will open period.

    Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
    You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

  • Ive been trying to export or share my imovie video and every time the i movie crashes and its just pulls up a report. I need to export this movie now and it is fairly complicated please help me. It  even crashes when ever i try to play it on full screen

    My i movie keeps on crashing when ever i try to share it or play it in fullscreen . How do i save it and not loose the movie!

    Hi
    This is bit of a Nightmare situation - and there can be a zillion reasons for why it goes wrong. See if You might find help in my list.
    When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
    • iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
    • Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
    • Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
    • a codec is used that doesn't work
    • problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
    • version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
    • preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
    • other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
    • External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
    ( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
    • USB-flash-memories do not work
    • Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
    • iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
    This You do by
    _ close iPhoto
    _ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
    _ now select all five options presented
    _ WAIT a long long time
    • free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
    • external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
    • GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
    • Screen must be set to million-colors
    • Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
    • Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
    • Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
    • Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
    • In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
    (I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
    buenrodri wrote
    I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
    Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

  • Can't Scrub QT Movies in Cover Flow/Preview?

    Anyone know how to scrub a QT movie in Cover Flow and the preview in Column View? I see a play button that turns into a stop button. Is this 1980?
    BTW, I don't have a clue why Apple doesn't put the QT controls under each QT movie in Icon View. This would be very useful.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Spacesuiter! Although I did not post this question, you have solved another problem that has been vexing my web site. My embedded movies would sometimes (tho not consistently) display only the playbar (no video) centered in the embed area like this. I just dumped the plugin you mentioned and it has solved the problem! Too bad Apple has not addressed this.
