Why are Videos skipping?

The movies i have in itunes skip. They play sort of choppy. They are mostly just little clips of tv shows and such, nothing too intense. I highly doubt this is my hardwares problem as my computer is pretty brand spanking new and powerful. Why is this happening? itunes bug? Anyone else having this? thanks.

Run Activitiy Monitor in Applications / Utilities and sort CPU% in descending order. Is anything taking a lot of CPU time? Do the same for disk activity. Are you running any antivirus programs or something like MacKeeper?

Why are video production apps not included in Creative Cloud membership?

I took up the offer of getting Creative Cloud cheap(er) for a year (I have a registered copy CS4 Master Collection). However, when I go to the Creative Cloud app download page or the Adobe Application Manager (see below) I am only able to download a subset of the apps that I had in CS4 MC?
Why?

They are included, your system simply doesn't meet the system requirements. All video apps require a 64bit operating system and from the layout of the title bar alone I can tell that you are on Win XP. So no, unless you upgrade your operating system, AE, PPRo, Encore, AME, Prelude etc. will never show up.

Why are videos loading so slowly on iweb site?

So I built a site with lots of video, but each video is on its own separate page. Why do the videos take so long to long and then sometimes stop intermittently while playing? Would appreciate multiple responses for things to try. Also, what is the optimal file size for videos with iweb. (Mine are from 3-8MB mostly.)
HOSTING with GODADDY, not mobileme, if that matters.
Thank you in advance for your input!

You will need to learn how to embed movie files in an iWeb page via HTML snippets in order to avoid having the video files load along with the page itself.
Create a test site or test page page in your site and experiment with different methods. If a test page in your existing site the page can be hidden from the navbar with some of Roddy's suggested methods and with some of mine which can be seen in this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This page has 9 videos on it in that manner: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.
However, if you videos are all Quicktime files the viewer will have to have Quicktime installed if they are to be able to view them. My method requires QT to be installed.

Why are videos... photos?

Is there anything in the works to change this? iPhoto and iTunes both see 3GS videos as photos. Even the prefix, "IMG," stands for "image." This is kind of a "duh" moment that I'm surprised Apple missed.

iPhoto has always supported importing video from a digital camera that supports capturing photos and video. If Apple didn't include support for importing video with iPhoto, then some of the habitual whiners and complainers would be whining and complaining about that - "why do I have to launch and use a different application for importing videos?"
Now that the iPhone captures video as well as photos, some people want a different application for importing video from a digital camera that supports capturing photos and video. Sometimes it is impossible to win. What would make it easier when transferring photos from iPhoto to an iPhone via the iTunes sync process, support transferring video stored by iPhoto imported from a digital camera as well as photos.
When I capture video with my digital camera, it is stored on the SD card the same as photos - in the same location. All photos and video captured by the iPhone are stored in the iPhone's camera roll - one location for import by an applicaton on your computer. They could have a separate photos and video category with the camera roll, but IMO Apple has some bigger fish to fry first.

Why are video clips glitchy in iMovie?

Hi!
I have a bunch of 1080p clips that have come off of a Panasonic GF3 digital camera. These were in .MTS format, but iMovie won't touch those unless they came straight off the camera (and they came off it a while ago). Instead, I used avconv (ffmpeg) to losslessly convert the MTS files to MP4. The new MP4 files play flawlessly on Mac (Quicktime), Windows and Linux.
However when I import them into iMovie, it completely messes them up. Any areas of the image that move get 'torn' and then 'repainted' one second later (on each keyframe). I'd put this down to the iMovie preview, but after rendering the completed iMovie project out I get exactly the same problem.
Does anyone know what the problem is or how I can fix this? I have basically finished my project now - only to find that the preview errors are permanent!
I have iMovie 10.0.5, and MacOS 10.9.5. I can provide example videos that exhibit the tearing if needed, as well as the final result of iMovie's rendering.
thanks,

Hello,
It's a long story, for the past year I've been trying to make a few simple slideshows from iPHOTO. Yes, it is suppose to be this simple few step process to send photos over to iDVD but it never works for me. In the beginning I was on the phone with the Apple help line and they would give me instruction. When one set of instructions did not work, the Apple help line person would give me different instructions. In the end the DVD slideshow was made/burned.
I've taken a few trips and I'm back to trying to make a DVD-R slideshow. I discovered through this discussion thread (see my question Why can't I make an IDVD
Posted: Jan 14, 2007 1:17 PM) that I need to go into Customize/Media/iMOVIE in iDVD and select the last slideshow that I imported and the process worked. Well I discovered that my fifty plus slideshows are sitting in iMOVIE. Most of the slideshows are repeats and I want to delete all of these bad slideshows and start fresh.
“Did you happen to use your digital still camera in movie mode?” At one point I downloaded a movie off of my digital camera into iPHOTO.
“Is it possible you are looking at the QT player window and not iMOVIE? No, when I open iMOVIE and select “Open an existing project” all of my imported slideshows from iPHOTO to iDVD are sitting in iMOVIE.
Can I delete all of these bad slideshows and start fresh? I’m having to come up with new slideshow names every time the slideshow DVD-R burning process does not work.
It takes alot of time to sit and wait for the Apple help line people. I actually bought a telephone headset because of this problem. I really just want to figure out how to do this the right way and stop wasting so much time.
Thanks for your time and interest!

Why are videos saved as gif's slow when viewed in browsers?

i can never find an answer to this, an seeing as how CS4 just came out, but is still giving me this issue there must be something new that i dont know about.
i play back the video in CS4 and its blazingly fast, faster than the actual video, i save the video as a gif, an when i preview it using the microsoft image previewer it plays back at normal speed just like the original video, but everytime i preview in a browser(IE8, FF3, Opera) they all show it running very slow, even after the video is fully loaded.
the only solution i know is to reduce the amount of frames to load when i first open the video but that makes the video look very choppy and not smooth.
ive seen gifs around the net that are very large(over 300px hight/width) and run at real time speed, but i dont know of any other program that allows you to import video and turn it into animated gifs.
please help.

GIF is not a video format.
If something plays back faster than the original video (and then slower in a browser) then you have discovered just one of the faults of trying to produce video in a GIF file.
Use a proper video format.

Why are videos taken with a 4S suddenly not working properly when sent to non iphone users since the update?

Suddenly non I-Phone users cannot view videos anymore, they can hear the sound, but no audio. Iphone users are having issues viewing the videos too. This all started with the 6.0 update. Please fix it or tell me how to restore my phone back to the previous update, it is quite annoying.

Hello VintageShaay,
It sounds like you are getting some audio issues with the included Ear Buds when they are plugged in. I wanted to recommend these troublehsooting steps from the article named:
Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2634
3. Disconnect and Restart
Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible. Restart iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad by turning it off and then back on. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect the accessory.
4. Isolate
Isolate the issue to the accessory, if possible. Or, if available, try to reproduce the issue with another identical or similar accessory.
Examples:
If there is static coming from the left audio channel when using headphones, try connecting the headphones to a stereo, or try connecting a different set of headphones to the device.
If the device is not syncing when connected to the dock, try connecting it directly to the computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or try another USB port.
6. Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory default state. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
Also if that does not resolve the issue, try the steps from the following article:
Apple EarPods: Low or muffled sound

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Why are videos not playing in Adobe Captivate 6?

We are having issues with videos (F4v or .mp4) playing in Captivate 6 produced projects? We've set them as progressive downloads like we did in CP5 or 5.5 that still work corectly, but now they do not. Has anyone else had this issue? It is the biggest one of a few i've found in captivate 6 so far.

Hi Michael
Welcome to Adobe Forums
Regarding this issue you can contact the Adobe Captivate Technical Support team at 800-833-6687 or Adobe Captivate Technical Support team has shared their e-mail address in forums. So you can drop them an e-mail at [email protected]

Why are videos in iphoto black thumbnails after import?

Hi,
I had to rebuild my entire iphoto library and start fresh but after i did that a lot of the small thumbnails are black when i view my photos in events.
I can correct that my making one photo in the event the key photo but all my videos in iphoto now have black thumbnails instead of the usual picture preview.
I'm upgrading them all just now to see if that helps but it's taking hours.
Any ideas anyone?
J.

Now i just need to mess about in the finder and delete some things and then move some stuff about and that should be that!
Not sure what that is all about but you know that you must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or con ten of the iPhoto library - there are no user serviceable parts in is - any user activity inside the iPhoto library will corrupt it and cause data loss

Why are videos using space on my phone when there are no videos on my phone?

When I sync my phone is shows that quite a bit of space is being used by video, but there shouldn't be any videos. How do I free up that space that is supposedly being used by "video". Thanks.

ansbrad wrote:
My phone keeps giving me a notification that my storage is almost full. It looks like the photos & camera are taking up most of the space, however I only have 99 photos on the phone and photo streaming is turned off, but it still has 3.9KB used space under shared photo stream. How do I delete this?
1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes. 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes.
1 gigabyte = 1048576 kilobytes.
3.9 KB is 0.38% of a MB, and 0.00037% of a GB
If your iPhone is a 8GB model, then you are literally worrying about 0.000046% of the device's total space.
Or, to look at it another way, an 8GB iPhone has 8,388,608 kilobytes of total space. Are you really concerned about less than 4 KB out of 8.3 Million?
Or... Let's say that you had $83,886.08 in your bank account. Would you worry about trying to find the nickel that rolled under the fridge?

WHY ARE THE SKIP PLAY/PAUSE BUTTONS SO CLOSE TOGETHER!??!!?!

i always end up hitting SKIP foward or SKIP backward when i just want to hit PLAY/PAUSE because the buttons are so close together!!! its not like there isnt enough space on the phone to SPACE THEM OUT MORE. it forces me to spend forever trying to find my spot in the podcast/book im listening to. IT IS SO ANNOYING PLEASE FIX THIS ******** DESIGN.

You aren't addressing Apple here, and no one reading your post can "fix" anything regarding Apple designs. If you read the forum Terms of Use you agreed to when you joined, this is a user-to-user tech support site and Apple doesn't read or participate here.
If you have something to suggest to Apple, post it on the Feedback page, and when doing so, be sure to type out the "*****" you intended.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
FYI, no one I know or ever heard of (until you) has trouble with the spacing of the iPod controls. The spacing is just fine for me, and would be annoying to me if changed. Maybe Apple could optionally increase the spacing in the Accessibility settings.

Why are video stills showing as artwork in music app?

Hi,
I have an iPhone 5s with the latest iOS.
I have iTunes set to not transfer music videos to my iPhone because a few of my albums came with free music videos. However, really annoyingly, my iPhone is showing a still from one of the videos in the album as the artwork for the whole album in both album view and the tiles when you turn the phone. But not when you play an actual song from the album. How do I get it to stop doing this?
I have edited all of the albums with videos in iTunes so that they all have the same artwork for each file. I synced everything and it made no difference. So i deleted all of the songs from my iPhone and resynced all 4gb back to the iPhone and it made no difference. I've deleted the music videos from iTunes and deleted all the songs from my iPhone and resynced them all a second time and it has made no difference. I just dont get how if I dont have the videos in iTunes and I dont have it set to sync videos anyways, that the video stills will still show as the album artwork in "coverflow" and the albums tab on the iPhone.
Hope someone can help me out because the video stills are meaningless when trying to quickly find an album.
Thanks.

I checked each song file in each album individually to make sure it had the appropriate album artwork and I applied the artwork to the video files as well (before I took the decision to delete them entirely).
I also did the "clear artwork" option but it didnt clear anything because the artwork is the artwork provided by apple store rather than my own that I have added in.
So in essence, I tried both the suggestions at various points and neither worked

Why are video frames dropping out on import to FCP 10.2? Clips play back fine before import.

Having trouble with video frame dropout after importing to Final Cut Pro 10.2. Clips play back fine before import. I have an iMac with OS X Yosemite 10.10.13. Tried rejecting clips and reimporting to no avail. I'm also not the world's brightest techno editor.

Hi Russ,
Now you’ll know how really dumb I am! I have the libraries and media stored on 3 external drives, although FCP app lives on the hard drive. I accessed the project from one of the drives. Then also tried accessing it from the program on the HD. The media is AVCHD from a Panasonic AG/AC 160 camera, shot at 60 fps. I deleted the files, but haven’t had a chance yet to re-import as both opt. and proxy. Other clips, imported before upgrade, are fine.
I have an iMac mid 2011; Processor 2.5 GHz, Intel Core i5. Two of the drives are 1 tb and the 3rd is 4Tb
thanks,

Asynchronous process learnings: Why are callbacks skipped?

Just wanted to log my learnings about asynchronous processes and callbacks.
I was trying to write a .NET client to invoke an asynchronous process and was not getting anywhere. The process was being invoked successfully but the callback wasn't happening. The visual flow in the console kept saying "skipped callback x on partner y". It appears this happens when the process does not recognize that the incoming invocation is conversational - in other words it does not find the WS-Addressing headers or if present does not understand it. You would notice the same behaviour when you invoke an asynchronous process from the console. This is expected behaviour because the console does not expose a callback.
So, if you are trying to invoke an asynchronous process from another platform and see the "skipped callback" message, the first place to check is your WS-Addressing headers. Is it present and specified properly? Is the WS-Addressing namespace correct? On the BPEL 2.0.11 version I was testing, newer WS-Addressing versions would not work. I had to switch back to the older "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/03/addressing" version. Another strange problem I noticed was that it was expecting some bpel attributes such as rootID, parentID in the MessageID header. Without these it would throw a server fault.
It also helps to write a sample client process in BPEL to invoke the asynchronous process and log the request and callback messages (there are technotes on OTN that show how to do this). This can be compared with the messages produced by your client to debug any problems.
Hope this information is useful for interested people. I'm yet to test the behaviour on the 10g version. Will keep this thread updated when I do that.

The migration utility only processes transforms that are created by the user. If a transform was part of the Data Quality installation, it will not be migrated because the equivalent transform will be installed as part of the Data Services installation.
Please read the manual "DS Migration Considerations > Data Quality to Data Services Migration > How transforms migrate" for more details.

Why are videos sent from an iPhone 4 via texting so tiny?

They are about 1.5" by 1" which is ridiculously small. A friend of mine has an older LG slider phone that sends higher quality videos via texting.
What's up?

Yea, the icons are small, then when you tap to watch it, it opens up to about 1.5" x 1" in size. Nowhere near full screen (maybe 1/4 of the screen)
