Video clips keep freezing?

When I try to view video clips online via email or Facebook the clips keep stopping and starting.
How can I fix this?

Most likely the problem is caused by the Flash plugin.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin before reinstalling.
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Video Clip - computer freeze

What can I do to prevent my computer from freezing up when I begin to run a video clip in iphoto

i photo 11 - - 9.2.1 (628)
I am not sure what operating system, and I don't see any place to readily see what the operating system is, but I bought the Mac computer a few months ago
Every once in a while iphoto says there was an error and that the database has to be repaired, but the repairs do not help.
I have a 8 gigabite PNY disc or chip (I am not sure what it is called) that goes into my Cannon camera that stores the data. The camera takes still shots and video. I have used it many times before and have downloaded and played pictures and video to iphoto before. This time, I took the disc and inserted it into the slot on the right hand side of the Mac.
When I ran the video clip at first it ran for a minute or two then froze the whole computer. I rebooted and tried it again with another couple video clips from the same disc and again it played for a minute or less then froze. Then I tried to play another couple video clips from another event that I downloaded a month ago and it also froze up the computer right away. Then I tried to play a video clip off a Safari website and it played fine.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I am not particularly computer savy, as I am sure you can tell.
Thanks.

What would cause my video to keep freezing?

Greetings, all ye of greater knowledge in areas like this.
Recently, I have had a strange problem with my video freezing. If I'm viewing the video on my timeline, it will ocassionally freeze, but my audio will keep playing. I can stop the timeline and hit play again and it unfreezes the video, but it still freezes at random while my audio seems to play without a problem.
Where this is becoming a nuisance is that my video is freezing in the same way when I try to print to tape. The audio will continue, but it will get stuck on a frame somewhere and will stay on it through the rest of the video while it's printing to the tape. Additionally, when I try to capture footage from my camera, I can get about 15 seconds into a clip and then it will either drop frames or freeze on my while the audio keeps going.
Does anyone know what may be causing this? It almost seems like there is a lag somewhere in my system, but I can't figure out where. This literally just seemed to pop up one day and it's like my computer has been running slower. i'm not sure if this is a FCP problem or a system problem, but I think it may have started with FCP.

eee! So many posts.
I currently have 2 harddrives hooked up. One has about 37.56 Gigs left on it (probably just over 3/4 full) and the other is nearly full. My files are saved onto it. I am editing in DV format and everything is rendered.
I have a drive allocated as the scratch disk.
I don't believe the drive is going to sleep. I would think it would effect my audio as well, since they are both located on the same drive.
For what it's worth, I ended up ejecting the drive I was using as I needed to do some other work and my system seemed to speed back up. I reopened Final Cut with and it's like my system isn't bogged down anymore. I may try capturing to tape using a different drive and see if maybe it was the drive itself that was bogging down my system.

Player keeps freezing!

I have:
Windows 7
IE 11
Flash Player 15
First, for some reason my Flash player disappeared. Then when trying to install it, I kept getting "IE is still running", had to chase down where it was running. Got that handled and finally installed the recent version of Flash Player 15. According the web page it is installed correctly. But, now whenever I try to play a video it keeps freezing. I want to say it is "buffering", cause it seems to keep trying to catch up. I had no problem w/ this before, why is this a problem now?

My iPhone keeps freezing when I am streaming videos. It never used to do that. How do I fix this.

My iPhone keeps freezing when I am streaming videos. How do I fix this.

Hello Jennings Castle,
It seems your iPhone is slowing down and not responding frequently. To rectify this issue you may want to consider performing a restore on the device, and then restoring your data from a backup via iCloud or iTunes.
If the issue persists after restoring your backup, you would then want to consider restoring the device and setting it up as new. Below I have linked to article which offers guidance on both of these restore methods:

Cannot edit video! FCE keeps freezing video track, running audio only

I am enormously frustrated. My FCE has stopped working smoothly! It is freezing in arbitrary places during clips, sometimes for a bit & then starting at a later point, or just freezing while the audio continues to play. I have reinstalled Snow Leopard and updates, reinstalled FCE 4 and updates. I have installed smcFanControl to make sure nothing is overheating. I have vacuumed air vents. I have prayed, yelled, cried.
My video camera is a Canon Vixia S100 HD, and only the updated version of FCE can read the files. I know that. I've been editing with FCE for a year now. I think it may be a graphics reader incompatibility or bug, or perhaps even related to Flash since the problem began when Apple announced it would not be going forward with Adobe Flash.
I am a videopoet and frankly can't take my iMac in for servicing at this point.
What is most interesting about this problem is that I can edit "blind" -by guess work- and upload to YouTube or Facebook and the videos are absolutely fine. No freezing, no dislocate of video and audio synch.
Also, I tried to watch my latest clip in Picasa, which is on my desktop, and it began freezing in the same odd way during playback.
Since the videos upload fine, it's not the video itself, but the player in the iMac. It feels like a bug to me, a kink, something between OS X 10.6.4 -it didn't happen before that upgrade- and whatever video player the iMac uses... since freezing of raw video clips occurs across two programs, FCE & Picasa.
Because I can no longer edit my videos properly I am quite fairly rabidly mad, as you can imagine, struggling with these issues for many many hours, and today spending the afternoon re-installing my OS and FCE and upgrades to no avail.
I am hoping someone can enlighten me on what is going on, or if there is a patch for this particular issue.
Thanks!
Brenda

Check the item properties of the clips in your FCE project and let us know their specs. Also, if you have any still images in the Timeline, make sure they are in RGB Color Mode - NOT Grayscale, Indexed or CMYK.
Also let us know where the media is stored (hard drive type and formatting and how it is connected to your Mac).

My video keeps freezing and I want to know how to fix this problem or which add-ons / plugins need to be installed for improved performance of my video player

I often like watching videos and movies, current affairs, clips on you tube nine msn, yahoo and other sites and my video player or movie freezes for short and long periods and sometimes doesn't start at all. I don't have much experience with add on's or plugins but have been told this may be the problem, I have tried disabling add on's leaving shock wave flash player 11.7.700.224, adobe acrobat PDF plug in, silver light plug in 5.1.20125.0, java deployment toolkit 7.0.210.11 10.21.2.11 and java (TM) platform SE 7 U21 10.21.2.11. as well as leaving all add on's and plug ins run but it still doesn't fix the freezing problem please help or advise what are best options for peak performance of videos, clips and movies. Thanks

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
*http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-113-crash-mozilla.html
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
*https://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/09/hardware-acceleration/
Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.

Managing Video Clips and HD Storage; Psychedelic stripes when iMovie freezs

I have read the posts on subj, but wanted to clarify the ff:
As someone suggested, good idea to save the original clips and just copy/paste them into timeline so that i can edit them as much as I want. Have done so but obviously taking up much space. Once I complete with my Project (but have NOT shared it yet with iDvd NOR imported them into iDVD):
1) can i now delete all the original clips in the Clips Pane? (it wont be like iPhoto where after deleting the pix, the pix are lost from the Books, or other projects?)
2) how do i save the original clips in the Clips Pane to a DVD. Do i use Export on iMovie? Or do i use Import from iDVD?
3) if I am working on several Projects, say Project 1 and Project 2, but want to use the Clips from Clips Pane in Project 1 in Project 2, how do I do that? In other words, can I make iMovie Project 1 as the repository of all my imported video clips (but not make any movie from it), then use those clips for iMovie Project 2, 3, 4 etc....... and how do I do that?
4) Further to #3, say I really wanted to end up with just one movie - say Europe Trip, but because I wanted to work on more manageable file sizes, I split them up so I have Project 1 say Paris, Project 2 say Italy etc. fearing that iMovie cannot handle too big file sizes. I was thinking of consolidating them all thru iDVD but what I expect would happen is that since I make chapters on iMovie, once I import Paris Project and Italy Project into one movie in iDVD, I will end up having two chapters or Chapter 1, two of Chapter 2, etc. Is there a way of avoiding that?
I suppose you an guess at my current predicament. My file sizes are just getting bigger and I have the same clips on Project 1 as I have in Project 2 and 3 when they all actually pertain to the same Europe trip that I want to make One movie on.
Finally iMovie often freezes on me and then the whole picture in the screen becomes one big colored zig zag stripes. I cannot playback or do other commands. The only way to get rid of it is if I reboot my iMac. I didnt have this problem before on my MBP. Could it be bec of Leopard in my iMac?
Thanks in advance to whoever responds.
Cheers
Raissa

It really shouldn't take very long to load video clips. It might take a long time to generate thumbnails the first time through, but from then on, it is lightning quick, because you are only shooting a few movies between times you open imovie.
While I haven't had the problem you describe, some other people have reported a similar problem.
Imagine a scenario where iMovie generates all the thumbnails and caches that it needs, but is unable to save them to disk. In this case, when you restart iMovie the next time, it would have to start from scratch and generate all the thumbnails again. This would certainly slow things down.
That scenario could happen if your disk permissions are in need of repair. You can repair permissions by using Disk Utility, which is in your Applications/Utilities folder. It is a good idea to repair permissions periodically, and certainly every time you update OSX.
I repair permissions every night as part of a script that runs when I do an unattended SuperDuper backup late at night. This is probably overkill, but at least I never have to worry about it.
Personally, I have several terabytes of movies in iMovie, and everything runs quickly. Most of my events are camcorder movies which are stored in iMovie. However, I have hundreds of short clips taken by still cameras, and I leave these in iPhoto.

Why is my DVD project freezing when a video clip plays?

Hi -
I have a simple Encore(CS5 Mac) project that is that is "stalling" when played.
The content of the DVD is made from an After Effects(CS5.5 Mac) project so I think I should provide information on that. The 30sec AE project is mostly timeline animation until the last 6 seconds which is video footage. The 7 second video clip is scaled way down from it's original dimensions and then masked off to fit in an area of the AE stage.
I rendered the AE project to a QT MOV with No compression. In this format it was a very large file (939MB) but it played flawlessly in Quicktime on my desktop.
Then I brought that MOV into Encore as a timeline, added a one button menu, and burned a DVD.
The prpoject plays fine until that video comes on. At that instant - the picture freezes for a few seconds - then plays for a second and then freezes again. It does this stop and go until the video ends and then the DVD returns to the simple opening menu.
It seems to choke at the same time each time I replay it but I can't be 100% sure. It's almost as if the disc actually stops spinning.
Why would the DVD freeze when the video content of my DVD project played? What can I do to fix this?
TIA some expert advice.
JL

While I am familiar with the brand name, Imagtion, I do not know what their business model is. Some companies, like Memorex buy the cheapest blank media of that day, and rebrand it, with their logo. Others do the same thing. Poor quality blank media can cause all sorts of issues, such as hanging and skipping - hence my question.
I would do a test burn with high-quality blank media, such as Falcon, Taiyo-Yuden or Verbatim, and then burn about 4x on the speed. Test to see if that disc plays, without the skipping and hangling.
Good luck,
Hunt
