Unable to preview or edit clips on a Mac

Hello,
I've searched these forums for hours and wasn't able to find a specific resolution for this problem on a Mac.
I am trying to edit a 1 1/2 hour performance (school talent show) for export to DVD. I was able to start editing with no issues. Now, after a day's break, I can't preview the timeline or clips. I see still images of the clips and can scroll through the clip by moving the playback line.
My system specs:
PSE 9.0.1
15" MacBook Pro:
     2.66ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
     4gb memory
     OSX 10.6.7 (latest)
PSE File Storage
     2TB ext FW800 drive (1.4 TB avail)
     Connected directly to the computer, no other drives attached
NEC 24" IPS display.
The footage was captured on a Canon Vixia HFM300 and PSE imported as .mts files. I had a second camera rolling with footage I would like to edit in. That camera was a Panasonic HDRXCX100. These files imported in .mod format and have not been added to the timeline.
Thank you,
Ed

You say you can see and scroll through the clips but you can't preview them. (Needless to say, you should check your Mac to ensure that all the latest updates have been installed.) (Bill, the drivers are all updated when the Mac updates. No need to go to any third-party sourceswith OSX.)
So you're saying that you just can't play them at all -- or that when you play them you don't see anything in the Monitor?
In any event, part of the issue may be your system. AVCHD usually requires a quad core processor to edit.
Or it could be that you've overloaded your project. Or corrupted your project by loading the MOD files into it.
As an experiment, start a new project (make sure you've selected the AVCHD 1920x1080 stereo project settings). Add some of your Canon's footage. (Make sure to only use footage that was shot in FXP or MXP mode.)
Does everything work as it should?
BTW, as a good rule of thumb, you should only load about 70 minutes of video on a DVD. (Or twice that on a dual-layer disc.) Any more than that and you're going to need to reduce the quality to fit it all on.

Unable to see photos edited in photoshop in iphoto

Opened photos in photoshop and edited, then saved as in iphoto changing only the file extension. I am then unable to view edits in iphoto. Using finder, I can see the edited files and can view in preview, yet if I open the mac hd from desktop, I find the directory path listed in finder stops 2 folder short of where the edited photos are.
Path shown in finder = home>pictures folder>i library>modified folder>bridgeday folder>img. If I go to mac hd, I run into a deadend at ilibrary?
Thanks
Dale

you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the contents of the iPhoto library - this includes saving photos into it
you need to go to the iPhoto preferences and set PS as the external editor - then iPhoto will correctly pass a photo to PS and after editing you save (not save as) to return it to iPhoto where is is correctly places into the iPhoto library and everything is updated

Premiere Elements 7 crashes when I start to edit clips

I have downloaded Premium Elements 7 and installed same. I have taken a small series of 12 clips to try the software, into "new project (all 12 clips).
I then took the clips into the editing mode, but after dragging the 3 clips the programme crashed.
This has happened several times. Each time a menu pops up and says "Adobe has stopped working. A problem has caused the programme to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify you if a solution is available. CLOSE."
I have Vista Home Premium, using a 2GB dual core intel with 160 GB harddrive. Can some one tell me what is wrong please

Dear Steve,
Thanks for the prompt response. I am having major problems. As you suggested I activated quicktime and then updated this. Then my problems got worse as I was unable to find the clips which were originally stored in Adobe photoshop so could not obtain them. I decided to uninstall PREMIUM ELEMENTS and re-download after restarting my PC. Unfortunately it will not install. it aborts part way throughthe installation
Install shows, C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 7.0\ then Next, then Install, which I click on.
Part way through this install procedure a menu appears
Menu Error 1311. Source file not found and C:\User\Admin\App Data\Local\Temp\wzde 24\data1.cab. Verify that file exists and that you can access it. Retry and cancel
Checking through the files the last one is wzde 24 but no data1.cab file.
So what else am I not doing or doing wrong.
Thanks for your assistance
Barry
PS I have 23 GB on C and a full 69 on D

Subject: Premiere Elements 7 crashes when I start to edit clips
1) What are you using for source files? Photo? Video? If video, what type of camcorder did the video come from and how did you get it into your computer?
2) How much free, defragmented space is on your hard drive?
3) Is your operating system up to date? (Manually going to Windows Update and adding the hidden or custom updates) Do you have the latest version of Quicktime -- which is critical for running this program with any stability (per the FAQs to the right of this forum)? This is particularly important when running Vista.

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas?

How do I get home video clips from iMovie Mac to iMovie iPad? Surely there is some degree of cross-compatibility? I have a load of clips in iMovie on my MBP that I wanna download to my iPad2 so that I can edit movies on the move. Any ideas? (The clips are in a .mov format, they have been imported / converted into this format in iMovie, original files were from a JVC camcorder in some other strange format.)

I copied the iTunes file from the external drive and it's in both places. I thought all I would need is the iTunes program (which I downloaded to new computer) and my iTunes library file. There must be something else that's missing. My iTunes library looks the same on the new computer as it does when I open it on the external drive. If I click on an iTunes library song from my new computer, it will only play if I have the external drive plugged in.
My back-up drive is a mess. I have multiple copies of music, video, photo, and document files and I don't know how that happened. ={ Obviously, I don't know how to back up stuff properly and there are back-up files extending over a 6- to 8-year period. I think all I did was just drag and drop the main folders from the back-up drive to the same main folders on the C: drive. Also (and I'm kind of fuzzy on this) Windows used to automatically save music files in a folder within my document files (which makes no sense to me). As my Jewish friends would say, "Oy Vey!"

HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Unable to add or edit SSRS 2010 subscriptions on reports that need to be saved to specific SharePoint document library

I have a SharePoint 2010 Reports library that has reports with old subscriptions. Whenever a user tries to add a subscription or edit one by selecting the ellipsis to choose this particular library we get the SharePoint correlation error that really
doesn't provide much information. We can successfully add the subscription by manually entering the folder path into the subscription without using the ellipsis or by using another library to store the subscriptions in. I've looked at the Reporting
services logs but I don't see much there either.
There was someone with a similar issue with SharePoint 2013. I've added the name of the article below but I haven't found anything about SharePoint 2010. Any ideas are welcome....
Unable to create or edit SSRS 2012 subscriptions on reports stored in SharePoint 2013 document library

If you re-publish the report, can you create a subscription from it? Remember that with SSRS 2012 and higher, you need to have Contribute rights to the report to create subscriptions.

Sneak Preview ABAP Edition just released

The Sneak Preview: ABAP Edition is now available. Kathy just announced it in the forum: Sneak Preview Update: ABAP Edition just released!!
The link to the Sneak Preview stays the same: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/uuid/cfc19866-0401-0010-35b2-dc8158247fb6
Basically this is a "slim" or "mini" ABAP installation with a compressed database component, comparable to the "slim" Java version. It's supposed to run with a minimum of 1GB but 2GB RAM is recommended.
Feedback on this edition, like the others, should go in the SDN Code Sample/Download forum (Software Downloads).
Cheers,
Marilyn

It would be really awesome to see the community weigh in on their experiences with this installation.
I'm going to suggest that we find a way to reward participants for doing a good job of sharing and documenting their experiences with the installation.
One idea would be to give a "double point" allocation.
That means that good content contribution (articles, blogs, detailed forum posts in a separate marked thread) that articulates the substance of what a downloader does in the course of the new ABAP Sneak Preview installation: tips and tricks, installation guide details, observations and detailed opinions, will be <u>doubly rewarded</u>.
Hey, this is a very time consuming activity, as I am experiencing myself at present.
Thoughts?

Xcelsius 2008 - Unable to preview changes made in design mode

Xcelsius 2008 - Unable to preview changes made in design mode
I have installed Xcelsius 2008 (RTM) and also Service Pack 1 / Fix Pack 1.1. Unfortunately, I can now not preview changes I made in design mode (but can see the change in design mode). In addition, if I save the changes made to the Excel spreadsheet (using this as the datasource) and then exit out of the application, then go back in, the changes have not been saved?!
I have also installed Fix Pack 1.3, but the same issues occurs.
This is causing us issues as we have developed a number of dashboards that can no longer be updated.
Please could someone advise?
Many thanks,
Neil.

I would recommend decomposing large sets into more manageable sets. For instance, if you have data for a very large regional district, decompose the data into smaller sets for sub-districts.
As for a paper, I'm not sure, but the main determinant of performance is how many cells you bind to the component. For a typical component on a typical computer, I'd recommend no more than 9000 cells. On a weaker computer less, on a stronger computer more.

Unable to import a vid clip of 267 MB from iphoto (6.0.6) to imovie (6.0.3)

I am unable to import a vid clip of 267 MB from iphoto (6.0.6) to imovie (6.0.3). I tried changing the format from MPEG 1 to MPEG 4 via streamclip 1.8 but when trying to import a window comes up saying "Error during import - the file could not be imported: unknown error". It says this no matter what format I try. (MPEG 1,2,4 and compressing it to a zip. file. (20KBs, 44KBs, 115MBs etc.). Imovie "HELP" says that it should import at least the clip in the MPEG 4 format (115.9 MBs). Any thoughts on this appreciated ---- Toroya

is your converted file playable with Quicktime Player?
rename your converted file in Finder .. avoid any 'special' characters as  ☜ ©, blanks, 'signs' | \ …= dots ] ... just letters...
.. just to mention: iM is a DV-editor.. preferrable, you should work with 'dv-streams' = best quality, no loss, have a look in Streamclip's Export Options ... esp. when working with allready highly compressed material as mpegs ....

Camera Raw 4.4.1 still unable to preview Canon 40D CR2 files

Even after installing Camera Raw 4.4.1 plugin update as per installation instructions and purging central Cache...I am still unable to preview Canon 40D Raw (CR2) or Digital Negative (DNG) files on CS3 Bridge or Photoshop.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.

Jeff..thanks for your helpful feedback. OS used is Vista. After recieving your suggestion I confirmed that I saved the plug-in to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS3\File Formats - and then rebooted the system. This seemed to resolve the problem and i can now preview raw file.

Cannot save edited clips

Cannot save edited clips

Howlb
The quickest way to get to the core of the matter is with details specific to your situation. Included in the many questions....
1. What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
2. Is your problem "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before"?
3. What are the properties of your source media that you are importing into the project? Before you begin the editing process, what is your project preset which should match the properties of your source media?
4. What are the specifics for your "save edited clips" - Publish+Share and then what? Where are you saving the edited clips to, and how much free hard drive space is at that location? Are you getting error messages associated with the failure to save edited clips?
5. When you start a new project, are you able to save that project.prel file if you leave the project in the Edit phase and save/close?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.
