Transitions will not render

When I go to add a transition (simple stuff - cross dissolve, fade in/fade out, overlap) the transition connecting box appears with the red line indicating rendering, but it never renders. It just sits there. In order to use iMovie, I have to use cut to delete (delete attempt brings up message saying I cannot delete until rendering complete, but NO RENDERING IS TAKING PLACE). I also have had iMovie give me "an error has occurred" message from time to time when I attempt adding transitions. I am building a movie for my daughter's wedding this weekend and am 80% done - and now this. I have added other renderings with no problems, but now I am in the finishing phase and this has me stumped. also makes me wonder whatever happened to programs from Apple that actually work? this is my second serious problem with iMovie on 2 different computers and in both instances it cost me a lot of time and money...to which Apple seems quite indifferent. Sorry for the rant - is there any solution here or is my daughter not going to get the video I promised her? Thanks!!

It's important to rule out conflicts with third-party iMovie plug-ins and QuickTime add-ons. And make sure the disk the project resides on is formatted correctly.

  • Videos Will Not Render.

    I have been working on some videos recently and Adobe Premiere Elements 9 has been working great for me.... Until today.
    When I try to render the videos which had successfully rendered beforehand, they will not render! But it WILL render .05 of a second of a clip. This problem has just risen today and it is annoying the daylights outta me. A bit of backround, I use a portable hard drive to hold all the footage when I make a video because the computers I use do not have enough space to hold all my footage. But this is kinda second guessed because when I make a new file on the pc I am using at the time, make a title, and give it a rendered effect, it will  still do the same thing.
    I hope to hear from someone soon.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Just to make sure that I am on the same page, as you, when you say "render," you are speaking of hitting the Enter/Return key, to Render the Timeline, for the smoothest playback. Is that correct?
    Now, on your Timeline, when you make a changes, such as adding an Effect, or any sort of overlay, such as a Transition, PiP, or an overlay Title, you will get a red line above that Clip, or portion of a Clip. If one hits the Enter/Return key, ONLY that/those section(s) with the red lines, will Render. However, if I read correctly, you are getting the red lines, BUT not all of that/those Clip(s) will Render. Is that correct?
    When only part of a Timeline Renders, the first two things to check are the position/length of the WAB (Work Area Bar). That can become accidentally set to too small a portion of the Timeline. The easiest way to make sure that the WAB has been extended to the full Timeline is to hit the \ (Backslash key), to zoom out to see the full Timeline, and then find the little "box" in the middle of the WAB. Dbl-click on that, to make sure that it has expanded to cover 100% of the Timeline.
    The next thing to check, is has an In, or Out Point been set on the Timeline. This can happen accidentally, if the CTI (Current Time Indicator) has been set to some point other than 00;00;00;00, or the full Duration of the Timeline, and the I (eye key) for In Point, or the O (oh key) for Out Point has been hit. The way to look for an In Point, or Out Point on the Timeline, is to look at the Time Ruler, and see if it is a different shade of gray, over Clips, before the end of the Timeline.
    If neither the WAB, or a Timeline In/Out Point has gotten set, I have a question: where are the Scratch Disks for that Project set? Especially with external HDD's, I have that location set to "Same as Project," so that all Render files, and the Media Cache, etc., are set to that same HDD.
    How much defragmented free-space do you have on the HDD, where the Scratch Disks are set?
    If to the external HDD, what is its connection type, i.e. eSATA, FW-400/800, USB, etc.?
    For the OS, how much defragmented free-space exists on your C:\?
    Good luck,

  • AIR application with Flex 4.5 will not render content. What gives?

    OK,
    So I've upgraded to Flash Builder 4.5 Premium and I am unable to develop desktop AIR applications with the 4.5 Flex SDK. I start by simply creating a brand new AIR application using the default SDK (Flex 4.5). I set the title property on WindowedApplication and include a simple Label component. The project compiles fine but when I run the application all I see is the adl window in the dock but that's it. If I modify the Main-app.xml file to set the visible attribute to true, I will get a small window but there is no content although the output window shows the application swf being loaded. Checking the release version of the Main-app.xml file shows the correct path location to the swf.
    Here is what I've tried so far:
    Install/reinstall Flash Builder, 4+ times
    Downloaded the trial installation twice
    Downloaded the SDK's for 3.6, 4.1 and 4.5.0. I then copied each SDK folder and merged the AIR 2.6 SDK with each copy. So now I have 6 SDK versions; one pristine and the other with the AIR 2.6 SDK merged. I then added each SDK individually and created an AIR desktop application for each. Each and every one works fine with the exception of the two 4.5 SDK's. They will not render content.
    I created a simple creation complete handler for the application that declares a simple variable and assigns a value to it. I then put a break point on the assignment and it never gets caught. More evidence that the swf isn't getting loaded.
    The computer I'm running on is a Mac Book Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.7. If I create a web project in each of the 6 SDK's, those will work just fine. What the heck is it with Flex 4.5 and the AIR 2.6 SDK on this machine? I have the AIR 2.6 runtime installed as well as a number of AIR applications that work just fine. I also tried my 4.5 test on my windows machine and that worked like a champ.
    I am completely out of ideas. Finding information has been difficult because everyone is all about mobile so searching for desktop issues is a losing battle. I realize this is a long email but I'm desperate for help. There must be someone out there that knows more about the low level interaction between Flex 4.5/AIR 2.6 and the OS.

    Well, I finally found the issue, a corrupted mm.cfg file in /Library/Application Support/Macromedia. I deleted the file and then adl ran just fine.

  • Imovie will not render photos with ken burns effect

    I have started to produce a video and have tried to import photos from both iphotos and straight from desktop however when i do this the red bar showing the state of rendering does not move. The photo will not render and therfor i am unable to use the ken burns effect. Could anyone please give me any idea of what i am doing wrong.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    What file type is Your photos eg .tiff, .pict or .jpg ?
    What size are they eg 1Mb, 10Mb or 100Mb ?
    How much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disc ?
    Ps When ready - Don't use Share/Export to iDVD from within iMovie. Just drop Your movie icon
    (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
    OR - Your movie project in iMovie will be harmed and You'll have to re-do it ! ! AND
    the DVD disc will be severely pixelated - extreme low quality Ds

  • Rendering - Final Cut will not render clips under any of the 3 choices?

    Final Cut will not render clips mov, or dv under any of the 3 choices, including stuff I have done before.

    I realize your problem is solved, but I thought I would post this is case it might helps others in the future.
    Under Sequence-->Render--> OR Sequence-->Render All--> OR Sequence-->Render Only--> make sure you have check marks next to all the different video types ("Needs Render", "Proxy", etc).
    If there is no check mark, then the video won't render - and this can sometimes seem random, like what happened in your case.

  • Missing render file/project will not render

    I'm new to using FCE - just got my iMac with FCE pre-installed a few weeks ago - and have run into a big problem with current project. When I open the program, it tells me one render file is offline and I can reconnect or continue. I have no idea where the file could possibly have gone, so I select 'continue'. But now the project will not render. I have four sequences open in the project file, and have tried everything - locking and unlocking tracks, selecting various combinations of render both, render all, render selection, rendering only audio or video, etc. All the appropriate render selections are checked in every option. But still, the project won't render any of the sequences; the render box comes up for a split second and goes away faster than the eye can follow. I've tried setting the scratch disk; that didn't help. I tried saving the project, closing and opening the project, etc. Nothing helps. It just won't render. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this problem?

    When I say it won't render, I literally mean nothing happens when I hit the render command. I see the red timeline render bars. However, I see them only when I go to export the video as something else - a mov, dv stream, etc. In the project while working, there's nothing indicating render is required.
    To try and solve this problem of the missing audio clip, I opened a new project and imported the .mov file I was working with initially, which theoretically should have all its parts intact. I made the necessary modifications to the file (essentially starting all over) and then attempted to render. It still won't render. Nothing happens at all when I click any of the render options, even after I've made modifications to the video that would clearly require render - changing the aspect ratio and applying a widescreen video filter. So the program should recognize the changes and render, but nothing happens, whether I choose render from the menu or hit the keyboard shortcut.
    I'm a little hesitant to try scrapping the preferences as suggested above, but I am totally perplexed.

  • Suddenly fla will not render to swf; freeze; CS3

    I have been making swf's for a long time, but suddenly today, my last one for a project,
    it will not render, and program freezes solid.  What should I do?  The fla seems ok.
    preview in html will not work.  Restarts and permissions did not work.
    AS 2.0 Flash CS3

    In case anyone else has this problem, I solved it myself before getting any response from Adobe. I am on a Mac and the problem was a corrupted FLEXnet Publisher (the licensing system) caused, I think, by making a bootable clone of my HD.  Adobe has the solutions here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html.
    In my case I just deleted the Flexnet Publisher folder from HD>Library>Preferences and replaced it with an older backed-up version and then CS3 worked again.
    If you are on a PC google Adobe Flexnet Publisher and there are solutions out there.

  • AP pro 1.5 will not render

    Sorry to be repetetive but my project will not render for some reason. THis machine in its current configuration
    has worked well in the past and the only difference is that I increased the RAM from 1 gig to 4 gigs. It has been suggested
    that I deacivate the program and re-install AP Pro 1.5. Is this a good remedy? The machine is a single core P4 3.6ghz and
    has done the job just fine prior to this. The ironic thing is that the project will export to DVD withour being rendered and looks
    pretty OK with just a couple of minor hiccups in the picture.
    Thanks
    Mick

    Mick,
    If you have the red bar but can see the preview without stuttering or hiccups, there is no need to render. If you have used color correction, multiple layers, some other effects, it may be different. Then the preview may stutter and if you want to see it in all its glory, you need to render. Just the other day I had a very long timeline (5+ hours) that was all red. I had no need to render it at all.
    On encoding everything is rendered again, but only for the encoding (unless you tell AME to use Preview Files, which I advise against).

  • Final Cut Express Will Not Render.

    Hello, while working on a very important project for school, Final Cut Express stopped rendering anything, completely. No matter what project, what circumstance, what method I try, It will not render. I need to get this project done NOW and have no where else to turn to.

    Do the Render Items have check marks against them in the Sequence>Render All menu?
    Is Capitals Lock switched on?

  • Audio will not render

    I've googled this problem with no solution. When I select any variation of the Render Audio/All commands, the progress bar flickers on screen at 0% then closes. The audio remains unrendered as does the red bar above it. I cannot render any audio regardless of the type (music, dialogue, etc).
    Previous projects can play their already existing, rendered audio. Any new audio introduced will not render, regardless.
    Currently, I have to export the audio to Soundtrack and export the track as an AIFF to render it. This works, but it's slowing me down.
    I've checked my scratch disk, and I still have 28 GB of space left. My projects are small and any audio rendering shouldn't require much horsepower.
    I'm using FCP HD Express 3.5 on an iMac G4.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    Thanks! Your suggestion did the trick. The tick wasn't there, and it forced me to examine the other Render options. I selected "Render Only" - red bar and it worked!

  • Browser labs will not render any of the websites I have hosted on my server but has no issues render

    I just decided to test out browser labs to see if it's something I want to use when developing websites.
    Obviously the first sites I would run as a test are my sites that I already know how they render across multiple machines. What is odd is that they will not render at all! I get an error and am told to retry after over 5 minutes of attempting to process.
    I then went on to try other websites that I have built and the same thing. Then I decided to go with the tried and true google.com and it rendered just fine!! Then I went back and tried my domains and again, nothing! So i tried facebook.com and it worked!!
    I tested all of the domains i could think of that exist on my specific server account and none of them will work! It's very odd.
    Any thoughts?     

    There are a couple things I can think of that might be going wrong...
    1. When you give the URL to BrowserLab, it will make multiple simultaneous requests for the page from the web server. We've seen at least one situation in the past where those multiple requests would overwhelm the server and would not or could not respond. Try doing a test where you have only a single browser in your browser set.
    2. When some web servers get multiple simultaneous requests coming from a single address, they will interpret it as an attack and refuse to respond. And may log that address and permanently refuse to respond to it. Some additional details are here: http://blogs.adobe.com/browserlab/2011/04/14/browserlabs-egress-ip-addresses/
    Are the URLs you tried public and can you post them so we can try them out ourselves?

  • CS6 PPro will not render non accelerated transitions

    Hi,
        I do have a CUDA video card and I'm using the Mercury Playback Engine.  I cannot render any of the transitions on my timeline that are not the accelerated type. Of course the  accelerated transitions don't need to be rendered.  I even tried exporting my short project but the transition I put on the timeline is just  ignored.
    Here's the error message I get when I try to render one of the non- accelerated transitions.
      Suggestions?

    It looks to me like you may have 2 situations here.
    1. if you are using "render effects in to out(Enter)" Premiere will only render the red sections. Use "render in to out(renders everything in to out)" or "render selection".
    2. There is a bug with the Quicktime codec(Adobe Qt server.exe) when you try to export full HD(1920x1080). Renders will fail everytime. It will render up to 720p with no problems though. If you need to export in full HD you can use .mxf wich supports inbedded captions or .mp4(h264).
    Hope this helps!

  • Transitions will not load - PLEASE HELP!!

    I've been dealing with this for some time ... when I'm in the edit window and click on transitions, they will not load. I've spent a lot of time online with support and got only temporary use of transitions. The first time I visited support, the tech was able to take control of my computer and get them working. That lasted for a few days, then they quit working again. I went back to support and a different tech didn't get me all the way through the process, and ended the session after telling me to remove and reinstall, which I did (again). Still, there is no functionality of transitions. They appear to be loading, but I've waited up to 30 minutes before I've clicked out. Please, can someone help me out?

    The red lines that Steve was referring to, are when you drag your Clips to the Timeline, prior to doing any editing.
    It is natural for red lines to appear above Clips, when any overlay, or Effects are added to the Clips, such as a Title, a Transition, or any parameter/Keyframing done to the Clip. That indicates that for smoothest playback, one would want to Render the Clips (or Timeline), for the best playback.
    Having an HP, I would go to HP's Web site, and check for a newer video driver.
    Steve's question on the screen resolution is a good one, as to get the full display of the GUI, there is a minimum screen resolution.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Transitions will not work

    In premiere, i have two clips with a crossfade transition in the middle. However, the crossfade transition does not work. Not in the previews, and also not in the final render. Thanks for the help!

    Thank you for the info. It does sound like a problem with the Handles. Here are two images, that will hopefully make it a bit more clear:
    The second one shows what happens if you do not have adequate Handles - the last frame of the Clip has to be repeated. Sounds like what you are seeing. It is shown as A-B Roll editing as an example. On the single Track in PrPro, you will not see the Clips this way. They are on the same Track, but this is essentially what is happening on that single Track.
    The "cure" is to go into each Clip, let's call them Clip A and Clip B. Set the Out Point for Clip A back by the number of Frames of 1/2 of the Duration of the Transition. This would be 1 sec at your FPS rate (25 or 30 basically). Do the same for the In Point on Clip B. Transitions will work then.
    If you look carefully at your two Clips, where they butt up, there will be a little triangle at the upper edge. When there are no Handles in either, each Clip will have its own little triangle, and will form what appears to be an even larger triangle. This tells you that you are looking at the exact end of one Clip and the beginning of the other. You need to adjust those In & Out Points for your Transitions.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
