Why does i movie cut my imported filmfragment in 2

why does i movie cut my imported filmfragment in 2? 46 sec of film becomes 23 etc

What are the specs on your clip? Will it open in Quicktime? If yes then do a command i and post the screenshot of the inspector window.

Why does my final cut express movie flicker after i put on disk using idvd

Why does my final cut express movie flicker after burning to a dvd using idvd. Its about 90 minutes long.

Hi
As Alchroma writes - more info needed.
FCE/P to iDVD
Several things
• How to go from FCE/P to iDVD
• Free space on Start-up hard disk
• Encoding
• Brand and type of DVDs used
• Burn speed set
• iDVD BUG
• Chapters
How to go from FCE/P to iDVD I do
• Disable Screen and Energy saver
• IMPORTANT --> FIRST in FinalCut - Mix Down Audio under Sequence Menu / Render Only / Mix-down
• Export out as a QuickTime .mov file
• Select with Mark - Chapter Mark
• Not as Self-Contained (not important but saves time and space)
• NO QUICKTIME CONVERSION (IMPORTANT)
This QT.mov file I import into iDVD from within iDVD.
Free space on Start-up hard disk
I set a minimum of 25GB (for Mac OS and iDVDs temp files)
Encoding
• I use Pro Quality encoding
Brand and type of DVDs used
• I use Verbatim
• I use DVD-R
Burn speed set
• I set down this to x4 (or x1)
iDVD BUG
• One can not go back to movie-project for any alterations and then go back to
the iDVD project. It will notice and ask You to either Up-date or Cancel. Neither
of them will work.
Medicine - Start a brand new iDVD project.
Use of Chapters
• I only use a to z and 0 to 9 in naming them. NO other symbol/letter !
• NO Chapter-mark at very beginning - iDVD NEEDS TO set this by it self
• No Chapter marks in or within two seconds from a transition
(Way around this last one - Export movie as QT full quality and NO Chapter marks
Import this into a new Movie-project and now You are free to set C-Ms where You want
them except at very beginning - still)
Material used to build movie
• video - I use streamingDV (or convert all other to this e.g. .mp4, .avi, .wmv etc)
• audio - I use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD (44.1kHz) - no .mp3 or direct from iTunes
• photos - I use .jpg - no .bmp etc
Trash iDVD pref. file and run Repair Permissions - and have a re-try.
from post ??
May not be relevant, but I had the same problem with iDVD, where burned DVDs showed a green screen. It was cured by quitting Quicksilver and Quickeys as well as disabling sleep and screen-saving

Why does our Final Cut Pro Batch Exports incorrectly name sequence files?

Why does our Final Cut Pro 7.0.1 Batch Exports incorrectly name sequence files?
For example I can Batch Export 10 sequences one of which is called:
"899-006TL013 It's Not Your Fault 800-509-2875"
Then the output for some of the files are along the lines of:
"899-006TL013 It's No#61386E.mov"
I have seen this happen with 1-6 files or not at all... is it just dumb luck?
What is going on here and is there any way to avoid or remedy this issue?
We first thought having the render destination window open caused it but that was not the source.
Any ideas?

I've run into the same problem with FCP 7.0.2 when exporting from the sequence using File --> Export --> QuickTime Movie. I exported a file today called "BSP - 01 - How You Can Be Sure You Are A Christian" and it came out as this "BSP - 01 - How You Can#1630". This is getting to be annoying. I also need to name these files the length they are. I'm hoping someone may see this and have a suggestion (besides shortening the file name). It seems like I've also seen this on shorter file names, but at the moment I can't prove it.

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

While watching an iTunes movie from my Apple TV, why does my movie stop playing at the 1 hour mark? I'm assuming I have a setting causing this to happen, but I have no idea what setting needs to be changed. Can someone help me?

It's right at an hour (consistently), but the computer goes to sleep prior to that. It's as if iTunes goes to sleep. Also, it wasn't always this way. Originally, the movies played through without interruption. At some point, I guess a setting was changed, and now I only get an hour. Also. My energy settings are set to go to sleep at 10 minutes.

HT1657 why does every movie I download stops half way and says err=-50/err=-39?

Why does every movie I download stop half way and say err=-50/err-39? I also have internet connection that is really good and it keeps saying to check that

Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Why does a movie on my computer take an hour and more to download to AppleTV?

You keep changing the subject without closure, however if you did enter the correct password and it wasn't accepted, it was most likely the result of a networking issue with your network and nothing to do with whether or not the Apple TV is intuitive or not.
I found some movies that I purchased were still on the "cloud".
Yes, that's how it is supposed to work, movies purchased from the iTunes Store are always available through the 'Movie' feature.

Why does my final cut pro is not responding every time I open it????!!!!!!

why does my final cut pro is not responding every time I open it?

As you give no background info nobody can possibly guess.
However, have you tried trashing the preferences?
Many weird things happen as a result of corrupt preferences which can create a vast range of different symptoms, so whenever FCP X stops working properly in any way, trashing the preferences should be the first thing you do using this free app.
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
Shut down FCP X, open PreferenceManager and in the window that appears:-
1. Ensure that only FCP X is selected.
2. Click Trash
The job is done instantly and you can re-open FCP X.
There is absolutely no danger in trashing preferences and you can do it as often as you like.
The preferences are kept separately from FCP X and if there aren't any when FCP X opens it automatically creates new ones . . . instantly.

make sure you read through all of the relies since the last one seems to apply in your case.

Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

Why does a movie I bought on iTunes not work without internet?

As long as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online - is that how you are trying to view it ?

Why does applying low cut filter increase the gain?

Here's an already mastered track.
When I play it with the Channel EQ insert enabled with "low cut" at about 80 Hz, it shows that it's clipping by about 4.7 dB. When I bypass the Channel EQ, however, there's no more clipping (although in the video, it turns red, but it actually says 0.0 so it's really not clipping).
Why does this happen? I would think that taking out the lower frequencies would make the overall output quieter since there are less frequencies making it through. Can someone please help me understand? Thanks!!
Video to show what I'm trying to explain:

That has to do with the Q value and how Low cut and/or High Pass filters behave: if you have a very steep Q setting, there will be boosting "around the edges".
You are right that this can be an issue, but it doesn't have to be the cause here. There's something more subtle and counter intuitive that can change the signal level even for an amplitude preserving allpass filter.
The problem is how the level is measured. In a DAW the most important kind of level measure is simply peak amplitude, making it easy to avoid clipping. Unfortunately peak amplitude is not a well behaved or even conserved measure when using linear filters like an allpass or the low cut used by the OP.
If you had a single sinusoid with constant frequency, then the frequency response of the filter would tell you exactly how its amplitude changes upon filtering. However, if you have a mixture of sinusoids like in any real world signal, the peak amplitude of those does not follow directly from the magnitude response graph, because their phase relationship is also altered by the filter.
We can even build a filter that has a unit magnitude response, a so called allpass filter, and it is capable of changing the phase relationship of a signal in a way that influences the peak level reading in either direction. You can avoid this effect by restricting yourself to the use of linear-phase filters, which don't introduce relative phase changes. This restriction may be undesirable however, because those filters have quite a few disadvantages too.
The other way to avoid such confusing effects is to simply rely on the RMS measure instead of the peak level meter. The RMS measure is strictly preserved by allpass filtering and in general the RMS measure of the filtered signal is bounded by the RMS measure of the original signal multiplied by the RMS measure of the filter response.
So as you understand now, there's nothing broken and you can just turn the fader down a bit and everything will be fine.
Cheers,
Jazz

Basic Question: why does exporting Movie take so long?

I import an hour long H264 640x480 movie into imovie. It takes about eight minutes.
I then add a few chapter markers. That's all I need to do.
Then I export as a large movie, also H264. It takes four hours.
So why does it take so long, as it is the same format? Is it just because the size is a a little different? Is there any way to export the movie at the same size as it was originally? Then would it export more quickly?
Thanks.

… What is a res?
I assumed that imovie did support h264, as up to now it has been exporting all my movies as h264 by default.
ooops, sorry: res=resolution
iM is meant for Camcorder imports - those trigger the import routines: .dv gets 'cloned' into Events, HDef gets converted into the AppleIntermediateCodec ... which offers the two (three) standards 1920x1080, (1440x1080/anamorph for HDV/'HDef on tape' sources) and 1280x720 ...
The EXPORT codec h.264 isn't meant for editing, but optimized for playback and file-size.
technically, a AVCHD/mts IS h.264
but to avoid technical probs, Apple prefers to transode into intermediates, aic.mov for consumer editor, proRes for FCPX ....
there's playback-codecs and edit-codecs ... for instance, playback-codecs (mp2, h264, Sorenson, VP6 etc) do not store every frame ( ! ) to reduce file-size; now, you like to edit with frame precision ... what shall happen?
an edit-codec contains any solid frame ... = file-size mucho bigger ...

Why does a movie/preview freeze when I try to watch it on my itouch?

Why does my itouch freeze when I try to watch a movie/preview from itunes? I tried to watch the preview. I don't want to purchase a movie if that is what is going to happen. The signal on the itouch has full strength. It works when I watch a music video that I have purchased from Itunes. I also have Belkin G-801.11 which is what is required according to the itouch instructions. I have only had the itouch three days and I returned one because of the same thing.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
