Video clips stopped playing...

I had a bunch of video clips on my ipod which were playing fine. I went on vacation, and had to plug my ipod into a friends computer to recharge it. Now, all my videos do not play properly - only the audio plays. Any ideas what's going on? Could this have been caused because I plugged it into a different computer?

I had a similar issue. I have loaded videos, Audio, and podcasts. Initially I was able to play videos. After a couple of hours listening and powering on and off a couple of times, I noticed I could no longer play video.
This happened more than a couple of times. I found two solutions:
First: restoring to factory conditions. This is drastic and once reloading video the whole process reoccurred eventually.
Two: resetting by holding down the menu and center button.
As to why this is happening I have not yet figured it out. When I find out I will post.

  • Online video has stopped playing

    Hi All
    Last night out of the blue online video has stopped playing in Safari. From example a YouTube video imbedded in Facebook just is blank also in YouTube itself the site loads but the videos just dont play.
    Any ideas?
    I am running Lion OS X version 10.7.1 on a MacBook Pro 2.66Ghz Intel i7, using Safari 5.1

    Since YouTube / Facebook require Flash, try updating the Flash plugin.

  • Clip stops playing

    I am looking at a large number of mov. clips which I am logging and transcribing in a database. Every time I switch over to the database program, the clip stops playing in FCP. Is there a way to display a clip that will continue running while I switch over to a different program?
    If not, is there a media player that can display the timecode of .mov clips? I did not find the timecode in Quicktime 10.
    Thank you!

    Thanks RedTruck, however I am running 10.6 which comes with Quicktime 10. Is there a way to make QT 10 display the timecode? If not, how can I install QT 7? I tried to do it, but the system said it cannot proceed since there is a newer version of the program already installed.
    Thanks -

  • Why do my clips stop playing the video even though the audio continues?

    While I am in Viewer, I try to play my clips that I have uploaded from iMovie (because the same jerky problem would happen when I tried to capture the video into FCE). The video would begin to successfully play, then the audio would continue and the video would stop. Why is this and how can I change this? Thanks in advance.

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Welcome to the forum.
    Be sure that your sequence's settings (see easy setup command in Final Cut Express HD menu) match the format for your video material (like DV NTSC or PAL or HDV) before capture anything. Pay attention to shoot with a 16 bit audio mode, not 12 bit, and use a 48kHz setting for audio in easy setup dialog.
    FCE HD can only edit natively standard DV or HDV media captured on tape based camcorder.

  • How can I get video clips to play in a browser?

    Scenario:  A client visits my Web site.  A shockwave movie plays automatically.  It contains a video clip.  When the SW movie encounters the frame containing the movie clip, it simply skips over it and continues.  The video never plays.  I have tried avi, windows media, mpeg and quicktime with the same results.
    I have found that the video plays fine as long as I open the director movie with Director.  But when I open it with a browser, the video clip does not play.  I have tried Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers.
    Does someone know what I am missing to make the video play in a browswer?
    Thanks.
    Dewey

    When the SW movie encounters the frame containing the movie clip, it simply skips over it and continues.  The video never plays.
    Presumably you have code to stop the playhead from moving while the video plays? You might want to post it.
    If you are testing this locally, you need a folder named "dswmedia" somewhere in the path or linked content, like your video file, won't be found. Check the docs for more details.

  • Videos suddenly stop playing in my presentation

    I am inserting 11 short clips of a video in my presentation. All goes fine but then I change some text and suddenly all the videos stop behaving as videos. The image of the video is still there but no arrow to indicate it can be played. When I play the presentation the videos don't play. In the editor the edit video section of the Movie toolbar on the right is greyed out.  I try deleting the video clip and reinserting it but Keynote says it can't be inserted.
    I am using several different clips of the same video.
    Has anyone any ideas?

    It has happened again to me with a different presentation and a different computer—in front of an audience this time
    Here is a thought about what might be happening...
    I have copied slides from Keynote 5 into a new presentation in Keynote 6, and then reinserted the videos in mv4 format—probably with the same name but different extension. Perhaps the program is not updating the file name properly. Then when the file reopens, it looks at the filenames, which still have .mov or mp4 extension and does not recognise them, and gives an error message saying some movies are no longer available.
    I don't know how the links work so if this is a possibility or not.

  • Getting a video to stop playing when user clicks on another button to navigate

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a little website in flash.. I have some video that plays automatically once the user goes to that section (I am using frame labels to navigate from section to section of the site).
    But, when the user clicks another button to go to a different page, the video is still playing because I hear it..How can I stop the video from playing once another button gets clicked?
    thanks
    babs

    All's you should need, if the video starts playing on its own, is...
    function clickSection(evtObj:MouseEvent) {
         if (this.currentLabel == "about") {
              about_mc.vid_mc.gotoAndStop(1);
         gotoAndStop(evtObj.target.name);
    If the video needs to be kick started because it was sent back to stop at frame 1 due to a previous navigation, then place that kick start in the about frame itself... about_mc.vid_mc.play();
    If that's not working, be sure to check that your instance names are assigned.  Also, I have been assuming that the video is embedded into the timeline of the movieclip, so if that's not the case, then some other solution may be needed.

  • How can I get an flv video to stop playing when I exit the page it's on?

    The audio continues to play no matter where I navigate on the site.
    Thanks

    You want to stop the audio from playing and also downloading more video/audio if it is still downloading when you go to a new keyframe where the video display/component or mp3 player is removed from the stage because it's keyframe ended or do not exist anymore but you still hear the audio.
    Add an event listener to your video playback component that calls a function when the flash player tries to remove the video plaer from the stage that stops the netstream or at least stops/pauses the video playback.
    [link removed]
    //sample NetConnection and NetStream classes when the video player is removed from the stage tell the NetStream to stop playing or downloading the content with .close();
    var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
    connection.connect(null);
    var stream:NetStream = new NetStream(connection);
    addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE, videoRemovedFromStage);
    function videoRemovedFromStage(e:Event){
       stream.close();

  • How do I get video clips to play on my iMac account? My wife doesn't have this problem on her iMac account.

    When I try to download and play a video clip at a web site or from an attachment to an email, I get either a blank space or a message telling me to download and install Abobr Flash Player. I already have the latest Flash Player. And when I try the same video clip on my wife's iMac account, the video clip plays perfectly.

    I found the solution to my problem, so now I can play video clips at web sites & attachments to email. The solution was:  "Safari → Preference → Security → check box "Enable plug-in". I got a hint from Troubleshooting on the Yahoo.com web site. Thanks everyone.

  • Audio from video clips not playing

    this is weird, the audio associated with my video clips plays in the viewer, all the audio wave are present, but they are not all playing with the time line. one clips audio starts playing then cuts out. All my other tracks (music) are playing good. I have tried selecting and deselecting, and mute, also tried restarting, rendering and unrendering, and everything else mentioned in other similar cases with no luck. I am running a system with an inadequate graphics card, but this is audio right, simple right?

    If your audio is 32 bit, then it's not 16 bit.
    You audio will need to match your sequence settings. You are likely looking for audio to be 48Khz/16bit
    Take the offending piece of audio and export it with the appropriate settings to match your sequence.
    1 Select your sequence, then choose Sequence > Settings.
    2 Check the sample rate of the sequence in the Audio Settings area of the General tab,
    then click OK.
    3 Select the offending audio clip in the Browser that you want to convert to a new sample rate.
    4 Choose File > Export > Using QuickTime Conversion.
    5 Choose AIFF from the Format pop-up menu.
    6 Click Options.
    7 In the Sound section of the Movie Settings dialog, click Settings.
    8 In the Rate pop-up menu, choose the sample rate of your sequence, then click OK.
    Make sure the size is kept at 16-bit.
    9 Click OK.
    10 Choose a new name and location for the new file, then click Save.
    Once the conversion is complete, you need to import the new media file into
    Final Cut Pro.
    11 Import the newly converted audio media file, and use that as the audio portion of your clip.

  • My 30 second clip stops playing with 9 frames left.  Audio and video are to 30 second mark.

    My video stops just before the end without any reason.  Seems to be related to audio track but I have replaced the audio and it still happens.  If I extend the audion beyond 30 seconds the video plays clean through.  How can I adjust for 30 second commercial?

    What version FCPX?
    Is the audio MP3? If so, covert to AIFF.
    What you're experiencing is abnormal; you shouldn't have to devise a workaround if the media is OK.

  • Some Clips Stop Playing in Timeline - only fix restart PP

    Hi there - thanks for looking at this. First a few details about my setup:
    I'm using an i5 10gig Ram PC running WIndows 7 with an Nvidia Geforce GTX 460 GPU which seems to be supported now (thanks to recent help on here) and Premiere says it's using 'Mercury Playback Mide with GPU Acceleration' .
    My footage is 25fps HD. The files are Quicktime MPeg-4 .MOV and the codec is AVC1 according to GSPOT - which also says it's an h.264 file.
    I should also add this project has been used in two different versions of Premiere - It was created in CS5.5 and I've since switched to the latest CC from Adobe Cloud. Currently I'm running CC 2014.2 Release; 8.2.0 (65) Build.
    I created my sequence using the CS5.5 function 'New Sequence From Clip'. Premiere CC is using 'ARRI Cinema' Editing Mode. It also calls the footage an MPEG Move in the preoperties box.
    THE ISSUE: I have been editing a music video in Premiere for some time. However I'm experiencing increasing problems with footage playing fine upon loading but after a small amount of editing some clips just refuse to play on the sequence timeline - with the effect of giving a frozen image of the previous clip until Premiere recovers and it carries on playing as normal. Or sometimes there will be a green screen in the clip's place.
    Also the footage is often laggy and slow and I'll need to stop and rewind a section for it to play smoothly. Generally I'd say things felt a lot more stable and predictable in CS5.5 when I first started work on the project. But gradually, as time has gone on, things have got more buggy! In addition, upon installing Red Giant Universe, the plugins were so slow it prompted me to switch to CC, believing this would sort everything out. It didn't.
    Red Giant plugins are now faster, for sure, but the clip playback problems I've described are getting more and more regular until now I can't edit for longer than 10mins before needing to restart Premiere. It's a total pain.
    It's often the same collection of clips that exhibit the problems.
    Also some clips have glitches and flashes when played back which aren't present in the original footage - and these are always there whether I restart the program or not.
    I don't know what to do really. I really need some advice.
    Also advice about whether it's a good idea to continue to edit from compressed footage while applying effects etc. would be really helpful too.
    Thank you so much for your time.
    Tony

    Have you tried a new project and importing the old one into?
    Red Giant plugins are notorious for slow edit, mine always need to be rendered.
    mov should edit just fine

  • Movie clip stops playing for no reason

    I am making a banner that has multiple movie clips sharing the same area, creating different rainbow effects when different areas (invisible buttons) are moused over.
    First of all I couldn't figure out if there was a way to have one invisible button over the whole area that changed to a different colored effect with each mouse over (first mouse over the black and whites would change to reds, second would change it to blues, third would change it to browns, etc.). Since I couldn't figure this out I settled on creating three buttons covering a third of the banner each, so when the mouse passes over one button it changes to reds, over another button it changes to blues, over the third it changes to browns.
    The effects are movie clips where each frame has another stripe changing color so it goes in a wave effect from one to the next, and then goes back to white and black in the same manner.  The first frame of each movie clip I had to turn into a nested movie clip so I could turn the alpha to 0, since I was going to have these color effect movie clips on top of one another in the main timeline on different layers, and so you could see the effect even if that color layer wasn't on top. I used the same nested movie clip with zero alpha for the first frame of each color effect clip (reds movie clip, blues movie clip, etc), so I dont' know if that's an issue.
    Anyway, it seemed to work fine for a while, but after working on it for a while longer (and not getting any further since I removed most of the changes I made), now when I test the movie the mouse over does not seem to work correctly. It works fine, seemingly, for the first time I mouse over each button, but in order to have it work again I have to mouse over the button twice, and then it will pause randomly during a part of the clip and I have to move my mouse back over for the movie clip to continue.
    I can't tell if this is because of the overlapping movie clips, or because my buttons are messed up, or if my actionscript is messed up, or if the timeline has to be longer, or what. Currently the timeline is 55 frames, the same as each movie clip.
    I put a movieclip_instance.stop(); command in the first frame of the main timeline, is there a better way to do this? Should I put the stop command in the movie clip itself?
    Here is a section of my AS in the main timeline, this is my first time programming ever, in any language, and trying to learn from the internet is more difficult than I thought it would be.
    redmovie.stop();
    red_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playRed);
    function playRed(event:MouseEvent):void
              redmovie.play();

    I am not sure of what the problem is, so I don't know if this will help or not.  One thing I might suggest is that you use gotoAndPlay(1) instead of play().  That way, if your movieclip is in the middle of playing it won't continue but will start from the beginning.
    You could use one button to have the different movieclips play in sequence if you prefer that.  You would just need to have some form of counter that keeps track of which is the next to play. Somethin like...
    var mcCounter:uint = 0; // start at 0 since an array is being used to identify which movieclip to play
    var mcs:Array = new Array(redmovie, bluemovie, brownmovie);
    only_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, playMC);
    function playMC(event:MouseEvent):void
             mcs[mcCounter].play();                  // tell the current mc to play
             mcCounter += 1;                            // increment for the next mc
             if(mcCounter == 3) mcCounter = 0;  // reset the counter if it exceeds the array

  • Video clip length playing shorter on my mac

    Hi all,
    Fairly new to mac, so apologies if this is fairly basic.
    I have some video files stored on an external hard drive. If I open a file using my PC the video file plays the full length of the clip, yet if I open the file using my mac it opens no problem, yet only plays part of the clip. Can anyone explain why this might be happening ??
    Many thanks in advance

    Timecode "breaks" in your AVI files.
    Use MPEG Streamclip (free) to "repair" them.

  • New and stupid. I need to capture video clips and play them on an iPad2.

    I've been searching the internet for hours and I can't find an easy way to do this.  I am working on a project for my boss so this is crucial. 
    I have three large video files.  I need to several capture portions of each video and get them onto his iPad so he can view them. 
    The video files are currently in .asf format.  I downloaded Windows Live Movie Maker and can edit the videos in that program, but I cannot convert them into a proper format with this program.  So, I found a program online that will convert the clips into mpeg4 format.  I can convert them, view and play them in iTunes but I can't transfer them to his iPad.
    Personally, I have an iPhone 4 and I am fairly computer literate so I have an understanding of the iPad and can function quite well on my computer.  But, I just can't get this to work. 
    Please help. 

    I am sorry about the VLC suggestion.They do have an Ipad version(http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ios.html) but probably for Jailbroken units only.
    In my defense of poor research i have to say that some time ago it was actually possible to download it from the app store which is why i have VLC on my old Ipod.
    If you have to convert i can recommend "handbrake" which is actually a free ripper but it will convert many file formats into predefined settings for different gadgets amongst them Ipad.
