Why Do My iMovie Transitions End With A Flash?

I'm using iMovie 6.0.3 and every time I use a transition on a video clip (or set of clips), it eitgher begins or ends with a bright flash. I'm new to iMovie and have been struggling with this for three days now and am getting very frustrated. I've checked for updates from Apple using Software Update and it says everything is current.
Does anyone know why this is happening and how/if it can be fixed?
MacBook Pro 15" 2.16GHz/2Gb/100Gb Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Stephanie,
I have had the same experience with transitions in iMovie 6, on occasion, along with experiencing many other problems with the transitions that I won't go into here.
I tried several things to get rid of the flash and was successful, but used different techniques each time, since solution does not appear consistent.
Suggestions:
I assume you've already deleted the transition and tried to apply it again, and that hasn't worked. So:
Select the photos on either side of the transition, and the transition as well. Slowly scroll through the selected sections and see if you can isolate the flash - then delete that section. No success? Try:
1. Delete your iMovie trash (inlcuding the bad transition) and save project.
2. Go to finder and locate the file: com.apple.iMovie.plist - yes, delete this. Don't worry. (When you open iMovie again this play list is re-created.)
3. Empty your trash.
4. Open iMovie and try the transition again.
If that doesn't work:
Resave your movie under a different name, make sure the new one works, and delete the old one.
All of these steps have worked for me at one time or another. Good luck.

IMovie transitions issue with retina mac?

Does anyone have an issue with adding transitions in a video in iMovie on the 13" RETINA macbook pro? I have imported a .mov file and I can't put transitions between the video. iMovie starts to do this weird thing where it shortens the video and displaces the video on the timeline. Has anyone else encounter that?

Why cant we play pogo games with then flash player we have

I tried to download current adobe flash player..the version we got should have been 11.7.700.202 but we got 11.4 something or other. we are confused as to how to get the right version installed on our computer..can you help?

Hey mr2coldman,
Flash Player 11 is compatible only with Mac OS 10.6+. If you have anything below that, the latest version of flash player you'll be able to download is Flash Player 10.3. Unfortunately, Pogo requires Flash Player 11 so in order to access the flash content, you may need to upgrade your OS. Hope that helps.

Why do I get html tags with my Flash forms CGI-mailed input text?

anyone know how I can get it to drop all the extraneous html
crap? - I just want the input text items.
Also I can't figure out how to do a flash pulldown list as a
form element... all tutorials I find on the sbject are for Flash 5
and say to use Smartclips from the common librarirs tab - but there
are no "smartclips" in my Flash CS3. I see other things in
components (menu, list) - but cannot figure out how to add my items
to the list.

is there some way I could use an "expression" to subtract the
unwanted text strings from the info being passed by the variables?
If so, does anyone have an example of the context I would used to
subtract 2 strings from that info...
this string of html tags appears before the passed input text

it's always the same.

}The "Criterion..." argument just means that you can call the method with any number (zero or more) of Criterion references. Within the method criterion is treated like an array - for instance in the for loop.
The notation is known as "varargs" and is described in the JDK1.5 [Tech notes|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/language/varargs.html].

HT1212 I have no idea why suddenly my iPhone5 will not move past the Password screen; also, a voice describes each button I touch, and ends with "screen locked" (not "phone locked").

I have no idea why my iPhone5 suddenly will not move past the PW screen; a "voice" identifies each button touched (the Slide button, for example) or the PW buttons, and then ends with "screen locked" (not phone locked).

I believe you have Voice Over on:
You have to tap, then double-tap to select the numbers to enter your passcode.
Then:
Press Home.
Tap Settings. Then double-tap Settings.
Tap General. Then double-tap General.
Use three fingers on the screen to scroll to Accessibility.
Tap Accessibility. Then double-tap Accessibility.
Tap VoiceOver. Then double-tap VoiceOver.
Tap "On" next to VoiceOver. Then double-tap "On" to turn it off.

How Come My Transitions End Up As Black Frame?

So Im working with 1920 x 1080 Sony EX1 footage and when I export it as movie my transitions like dissolve, fade in fade out end up as a flash of black. When I changed my export settings to pixel aspect ratio to square it worked but the film ended up being 600mb for two minutes in length. I also fixed it using the flicker effect filter but why is it like this?
Also when I use MPEG streamclip to make file size smaller the transitions end up being very pixelated and theres a loss of quality. I tried all the 1920 x 1080 presets on it with H264 and limit date rate of 3000bs.

What are your sequence settings? They match the source material's properties exactly, right?

At my wits end with BT - can anyone help please?

This is a long and ongoing saga and so I apologise for the long post.
In February due to a change in job I needed to change the payment date of my DD payment. I did this online and received an email confirming the new payment date of the 28th. I stupidly assumed that was the date BT would take payment. The account is only used for Direct Debits and so money is put in there shortly before they're due. Over two weeks before the payment was due I received an unpaid DD letter from my bank. BT had attempted to take the payment early. I contacted BT and was assured my payment date was the 28th and they had no idea why payment had been attempted early. Later that day BT called to discuss the returned DD and I explained it was a BT error. A week later BT attempted to take the DD again. Once again I contacted them to be told my DD was definitely set up for the 28th and "there must be an error on the system" Later that day I received another call from BT to inform me my DD had been returned unpaid and again I explained that it was a BT error. Not trusting BT I cancelled the DD with the intention of making my payment online on the 28th. On 28th Feb before I had chance to make the payment I received a call from someone at BT who was mentioning late payment charges etc. I made it clear that any charges would be unacceptable as the error was down to BT and my payment wasn't actually late. I was asked to make payment over the phone but as it was difficult to understand each other I made it online and gave the payment reference number.
My online balance at this point showed as zero and so I decided against setting up another DD for BT to attempt to take money as and when they pleased. Late March I received a phone call from BT telling me my DD wasn't set up and I had an outstanding balance of £57.75. I explained I'd had a zero balance but it would appear that my online balance was showing incorrectly. The person I spoke to said he could set up a new DD for this amount but as a one off it would come out on the 13th - something to do with making sure payment was made before the new bill came out and it taking X amount of time for a DD to set up. This would be a one off payment and after it had been made I'd be contacted to set up a new DD.
On 20th April I received a call from UK based BT asking did I want to set up my new DD However to do this I would need to pay £120 over the phone. I asked why when I definitely had a zero balance, I'd received no bill and quite simply owed BT no money at that point. I was told there was a problem seeing all the data and somebody would call me back after the Easter weekend. Instead later that same day somebody else UK based phoned me asking me to set up my DD. I explained about the earlier phone call and she was confused as to why I'd been asked to pay anything as I clearly had a zero balance. I set up a new DD with her for £60 a month, payments to be made on 28th, starting 28th May. A few days after this my new bill arrived for £109.
On 5th May my bank called me to say once again BT had attempted to take the DD early but this time they'd attempted to take £109. Once again I called BT and this time spoke to an Indian gentleman who advised me to cancel the DD with my bank while I was on the phone with him, he'd cancel it at that end and then he would set up a new one. He said letters of confirmation would be sent out to me.
I sent an email to BT explaining all this and also saying I wasn't happy that they'd charged me £10 late payment charge on the new bill for unpaid DD. Had BT taken the payment when they should it wouldn't have been unpaid!! A gentleman phoned me back, assured me the £60 a month DD was set up for the 28th starting 28th May. He also emailed me confirmation of this.
On 9th May I received an email saying I had a "supplementary bill" so looked at my online account to see my bill had gone up by about £5. My DD wasn't showing as set up on the online account but I decided to leave it a couple of days before contacting BT. Later that day though I received three letters. One saying my DD had been cancelled as discussed, and two others saying my DD had been set up to be paid 28th of every month starting 28th May for the amount £104!
Before I had chance to call BT someone UK based called me to ask did I want to set up my DD as I had no payment plan set up. By this point I'd more than had enough and told her I had one email and two letters clearly saying my DD was set up and the only reason she'd be calling to ask me to do this would be if BT had cancelled the DD themselves. I refused to set up the DD yet again and she put me through to India based billing to discuss what was happening. I was told a DD wasn't set up on my account, that I couldn't set one up unless I paid my bill in full and that line restrictions are due to come into place on 29th May if the bill isn't paid in full.
Today my BT online account shows no DD set up. However my bank shows the new DD is in fact active. I have no idea when BT will take money, or for how much. I don't know what to do, do I cancel the DD and just pay all future bills in full when they come in and in doing so be penalised by BT for not paying by DD? Or do I just leave it and hope they finally get it right? Bearing in mind I've had two letters saying they're going to take £104 and an email saying £60 I can't see that happening.
It appears not one BT department speaks to the other, half the calls aren't logged and nobody at BT listens to the customer. I have spoken to Ofcom about this and they've advised me to give BT one more chance to sort this out and then go to the Ombudsman. I've just come across the forums and so am giving this a try to see if I can get any joy here.
At some point during all this I spoke to somebody UK based who told me to send my bank charge letters to BT which I have done but as yet have heard nothing in return! I've lost track of how many people I've spoken to and am at my wits end with it all.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm even more concerned now after hearing back regarding my initial post. Apparently any cancellations or changes are showing as done by me using the self help platform on my BT account. This isn't the case. The actions carried out on certain dates listed on the email I received were all carried out by BT over the phone and not myself. I didn't even know it was possible to cancel a direct debit using the BT website. I thought it had to be cancelled at the bank and then a phone call to BT. I was logged onto my BT account while the phone calls were taking place but any action was carried out by BT and not myself.
BT are insisting I have no DD set up. Yet it clearly shows on my bank account that there is an active DD for BT. To confirm that, I've spoken to my bank today who have verified there is most definitely a DD set up to pay BT on the bank account. They've double checked the account number with me and it's definitely for my BT account. The bank are sending me a letter confirming it's an active DD for me to include all other details for the Ombudsman because I really feel this needs fetching to their attention.
To be fair to the person who has replied I have been told I can pay a small amount and set the DD up rather than pay in full or face restrictions. But despite BT's insistence that I have no DD set up my bank clearly states I have. I'm now going to have to cancel the DD that BT are sure isn't active and set it up again.
Incidentally the monthly payments I'm to make are £45 - less than the £60 and a lot less than the £104 previously mentioned! So on one hand I will have a satisfactory conclusion but on the other I have to still cancel a "none existent" existing DD, set a new one up and am out of pocket on bank charges caused by BT trying to take payment on the wrong date. I then have to trust they'll not do the same thing again.......
It's all like a stupid joke that's just not funny.

STMS: Transport control program tp ended with error code 0232

Dear ERP Gurus,
I just encountered problem with STMS in my PRD system. The import is just stuck up on "tp connecting to database". It won't continue unitl the system gives me this error message:
Transport control program tp ended with error code 0232
Errors: connect failed
The tp System log says:
ERROR: Connect to PRD failed (20090227135454, probably wrong environment)
I have verified that the suggestion in SAP Note 165708 has already been implemented in our DEV, QAS, and PRD instances.
Any idea why I am having this problem? Imports were running fine yesterday. Please help.
Your prompt response is highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Albert

Hi Albert,
First check import monitor and delete all requests from queue, which are still getting imported.
And go to /usr/sap/trans/tmp and mv all those tmp files to other location.
Then kill all OS jobs which are getting execute with tp.
Check all jobs are runnig fine, related to transportation. If not reschedule the same.
Then start importing.
Before doing this just check whether your stms related RFCs are working fine.
I think One of your RFC is getting struck. just try to change ip or hostname accordingly and try.

Nick Loy
