TS4319 imovie 08 not working???

Hi I have imovie 08 and now when I try and use titles it automatically quits and has done this about 30 times in the last 2 days and I was wondering is it doing this because I need to update to iMovie 11 or is something just wrong altogether? Anyhelp would be most welcome thanks Billy

There are numerous things that could be wrong. Read thru the forums.

The little grey camera icon ( IMovie) is not working or allowing me to open my photos. I have no problem inserting video. Just won't let me open my photos. Any ideas?

IMOVIE Text Not working?

I have Imovie and my text does not work. Every time i hit the text, IMOVIE starts to perform slowly and freeze up to the point i have to force quit. All the other buttons work (like the transitions, music, pictures) but not the text. I have no idea how to fix the problem. IMOVIE works other than that and i need text. Can someone give me a suggestion of what to do?

Nvm >.>
Fixed it last week.
Turns out all I had to do was remove a Quartz Composer plug in that was effing up the graphics~

Picture in picture in iMovie 11' not working

i went to advanced tools and checked the box.
i took the clip and dragged it over the other.
nothing is happening.
i then tried to restart imovie to see if that would help.
nothing.

to anyone else out there that had this problem, I figured it out. imovie would not let me import png for picture in picture, but it would let me import a .tiff. so i simply changed the file extension.
I didn't think png was an issue in imovie, but apparently it is.

Imovie HD not working/improting mini dv

I am having truble with imovie HD, the icon on the dock does not look right, when I open it up, it gives me the three options in text, none of which will do anything when clicked on, there is no picture in the opened widow and when I have my mini DV cam (panasonic PV GS 180) attached (by fire wire) it does not give import file as an option. It has done this in the past however. Please help, thanks

Hi
Test another FW-Cable.
Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
Toogle in iMovie pref: Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape:
Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Exchange formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
What Camcorder ?
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
Using WHAT ? :
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? (Others don't count)
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into
this and have a re-try.
from LKN 1935:
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten:
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check:
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
Yours Bengt W

Certain iMovie clips not working in Firefox

I have just processed a number of short video clips in iMovie, taken with my Lumix GX7 camera and also with my Sony Android phone. I took the videos in MP4 format. The clips were processed in the same way, & exported from iMovie to MPEG files. I.e. the files from both devices are now in the same format. BUT, when I put them online in a private gallery, the videos from the Lumix GX cannot be viewed in either Firefox or IE; but the videos taken with the andoid phone can be viewed. For the videos taken with the Lumix GX I get a message saying 'This video can't be played in this browser. Try using a different browser or downloading the video and playing it in a video app'. But the whole point is that I want to send a link that people can view online - not for them to have to download the clip & install some video app! The only browser these clips work in is Google Chrome.
Does anyone have any ideas? I am really puzzled. Is it anything to do with the frame rate? I seem to recall being told by iMovie that these videos are 25, & the android clips are at 30?
Should I try to convert the clips back to MP4? iMovie doesn't seem to do this for some reason; when I 'export' it turns them all m4v files (not sure what format this is?). But as I said there is no problem with the clips from the android phone.

An answer that worked for me ...
A big THANK-YOU to dougcoull with his answer to the question “How come Vimeo won’t work with Firefox 4”. (Search Vimeo in FF Help).
Type "about:config" in the address bar of your browser to take you to the config settings.
Scroll down to "dom.ipc.plugins.enabled.npswf32.dll" or cut n paste the term in the Filter.
If the entry is ‘false’, double click the entry to change from 'false' to 'true.
Close FF and then re-open for the setting to take effect.
Please take the effort to inform dougcoull if it works for you too.
Only issue for me is you may then find that plugin-container.exe is now running with Vimeo eating up and hogging CPU :(

IMovie Preview Not Working since latest Firmware Update (11/14/2006)

I was working on an iMovie project without incident until an automatic Firmware update was completed. Since the update, the editing preview function of iMovie is a black screen. The movie plays, but when you attempt to edit the Ken Burns effects, etc ... the preview screen is black so you are unable to edit a viewable screen. Strange ... anyone else - post firmware update issues on the MacBook Pro?

(Quoting Karl Petersen here:)
There's a bug in iMovie 6 that makes it impossible to re-edit (Update) photo clips previously imported with the Ken Burns checkbox ON. The source photo, normally stored in the Media folder of the project, is (inappropriately) discarded when you empty the iMovie trash. The clips Update as black clips and the preview is usually black too, if I recall.
The workaround is to 1) drag the photo from the iMovie trash to the iMovie Clips pane; or 2) never empty the iMovie trash.

IMovie '08 not working for me, then won't quit

Hi,
I have a sony dcr-sr90 hard disk camcorder. I had it before imovie '08 came out and I was pleased to see that this new version was compatible with mpeg2 formats. Trouble is, while I have got imovie to import some videos, it's a timely and rather hit and miss affair.
I've tried it again just recently and it's bugging the **** out of me. Today, I just upgraded to version 7.1 and dowloaded the ilife support software too. I'm not sure if I had that or not. I was hoping this might fix my problems. But, it appears not. I connect the camera, open imovie which then says camera detected - scanning for movie clips. This process takes ages and I only have about an hours worth of clips on the camera. Finally, I get 'generating thumbnails'. Again this takes ages and sometimes actually bombs out. I then have to quit imovie, but it won't let me and I have to do a hard shutdown. On the odd occasion that it does does complete generating thumbnails, I click the movies I want to import and off it goes. I left it going overnight the other day cos it takes so long. In the morning I saw that it froze after about 3 clips!! What is going on? Why is it so slow and erratic? It's nigh on impossible to use at the moment.
Anyone have any thoughts on what might be wrong?
Cheers,
Lee

You may be able to reduce start up time if when you close im7, you don't leave the events window with iphoto videos selected. Additionally some of your ihoto video could be causing an issue, you could try removing it to a folder on your desktop to see if it helps at all.

Tibetan character in iMovie titles not working.. :(

Hello to all the intelligent people,
Mac OS X version 10.9.4
iMovie version 10.0.4
When i try to write a Tibetan character in iMovie titles which is in this case 2 letters on top of each other isn't coming out as it should be.
This is what I'm trying to write... for example: སློབ་གྲྭ Instead of getting that word (which means school) I get this: ས ླ ོ་ག ྲ ྭ
It does work when i use the first two rows of iMovie titles but the rest like the 'Scrolling credits' and the newest titles aren't working.
Can somebody please help me with this issue?
(If you want to see the problem by yourself, you can copy the first characters above and it'll look like the second one which is unreadable.)
If you can help me with this problem it would mean the world to me.
By the way, I already went to the Apple store and called the support telephone but no one could help me there.
I have been waiting for the newest update before i post this but the new update didn't do anything about my issue with the iMovie titles.
I really hope someone will write me and help me out.
Greetings,
T.C.G.

First of all, I really want to thank you for responding on my question.
can you please tell me where i can find the kailasa and kokomor?
I'm using the Tibetan QWERTY board...same as the one in iPhone i guess..?
when i check on the Tibetan keyboard on mac, and choose the middle one from the 3keyboards which normally works perfect on iMac Doesn't work that well anymore..(it comes out like the 2nd character above)
once again thank you for responding and hoping you'll help me through if possible.

My iMovie is not working, it tells me there's a problem but does not know the problem, Can someone help me figure this out please?

A couple of days ago, my I opened up my iMovie and it just goes into the blank screen. I am able to click on things like, "import" or "create" and it will take me into the next window, but when I choose an option, I receive a message that there is a problem, but they don't know what the problem is. It has been like this for the past couple of days. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app about 3 times and it still comes out the same. Please assist in any way possible!

Try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
When it's rebooted you can force a backup via Settings > iCLoud

Video not showing up in preview screen on iMovie & Photobooth not working

Its like all of a sudden a bunch of video programs on my Mac have stopped going.
I am running OSX Lion 10.7.3
I have recently installed Elgato Video Capture and have been recording old VHS tapes and editing in iMovie. Was having no problems at first. Then the picture in the preview screen disappeared, the sound was still going, then that went too. I am wondering if Elgato video capture has something to do with it..
When I go to old videos, they play fine.
I also noticed the camera wont load in photobooth anymore.
If anyone has any information on this or knows how to fix it, that would be great! Thanks

Had same problem on iPad. Go to settings. Look under privacy. Make sure you turn on iMovie under the photos heading. Might also need to enable location services for iMovie. Now I can see camera roll from iMovie.

Just upgraded to ilife 11 and imovie 11 not working

just upgraded but when i open imovie it is "scanning for videos in my iphoto library" but it just freezes at that. I deleted and reinstalled but same problem. I can't access anything in imovie.

Yes, one of the disconcerting differences in 11 is that the people tags appear and behave differently to the rest of the tags. I'd like to undertand why. They are just a tag after all so why have differing approaches?

Share button in iMovie does not work, why?

I created a movie but am unable to store this nor can I share this, any idea or updates please

You have to remove imovie from the mac and some components found in the following place:
Receipts:
/Library/Receipts/iMovie.pkg
/Library/Receipts/iMovieUpdater3.0.3.pkg
/Library/Receipts/iMovieUpdater4.0.1.pkg
/Library/Receipts/iMovieHD502.pkg
/Library/Receipts/iMovieThemes.pkg
/Library/Receipts/iMovieThemes_Tiger.pkg
/Library/Receipts/iMovie_601.pkg
/Library/Receipts/iMovie_711.pkg
/Library/Receipts/iMovie_HD6.pkg
so drag imovie to the trash and remove the receipts of imovie from the system library
than reinstall itunes from the app store

Imovie DVD not working on dvd player

I've used Imovie for the first time today. Exported it, burnt a dvd and tried playing it in a dvd player, xbox and my pc but it won't play. Its only playing on my Imac. Is it something i did wrong when i exported it?

Exported it, burnt a dvd and tried playing it in a dvd player, xbox and my pc but it won't play.
If by "exported it, burt a DVD" you mean you exported the project as a movie file and burnt the file directly to a DVD, then that is your problem. If you want the DVD to play on commercial players then you must "author" a DVD which converts the file to a compression format commercial players can read along with other files telling how to play the movie. Use iDVD to "author" the iMovie project as a "standalone" DVD.

IMovie in iLife '08 will not work on a PowerBook G4 and....

What a pain.
1) Install the new OS X Leopard -- discover iMovie and iDVD no longer work
2) Get the new iLife 08 -- discover the new iMovie does not work on a PB-G4
Model Name: PowerBook G4 15"
Model Identifier: PowerBook3,5
Processor Name: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Processor Speed: 1 GHz
Number Of CPUs: 1
3) Okay Apple what do we do now?
4) Is this a forced hardware upgrade???
Thanks for the help.
All the best,
jh

Our powerbooks can not run iMovie'08. Not enough horsepower.
That is why we are offered a free download of iMovie '06.
