Why won't iMovie 10.0.01 show any still photos?

On the new iMovie update, every single time I add a photo to my timeline, it shows up green! Why won't it show any still photos? Does anyone have a solution?

Are the photos too large of a file maybe?

Why won't iMovie recognize my DV camera any longer?

I've been using a Sharp VL-SD20 mini-DV videocamera for several years. Worked fine with iMovie. But I recently upgraded to Leopard (now OS 10.5.5), and now iMovie will no longer recognize/control the same camera. I've cycled the power/replaced batteries/reset the date on the camera, etc. Can't get iMovie to 'control' the camera any longer for shares or uploads. ideas?

Hi
My collected ideas.
Test another FW-Cable.
Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
Toogle in iMovie pref: Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
Start GarageBand. Play some notes. Close it and hav a re-try with iMovie.
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape:
Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Exchange formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
Using WHAT ? :
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? (Others don't count)
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into
this and have a re-try.
from LKN 1935:
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten:
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check:
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
Yours Bengt W

That's just the way the web works. If the font is not
installed on the

best to stay with
commonly installed fonts and to specify multiple fonts in

Keep iPhone on wall charger for ten minutes, it may turn ON itself. If still nothing, keep on charger and Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds until the iPhone begins to respond.

Bold5 9900 won't come up or even show any light

My bb was over charged cos I got in AND was feeling very tired and thought of boosting a little with my power bank and slept off left it charging till d next morning, now its not coming up at all nor is it showing any light at all nothing at all, no red light no coming up, pls help me, so much important data de

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Please try this sequence...note that, throughout the entire 4h15m process, your BB must remain directly connected to a known-good wall charger (not PC USB, not a cradle):With the battery inside, connect your BB to the wall chargerLeave it alone for 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display doesRemove the batteryWait 15 minutesInsert the batteryWait another 2 hours, no matter what the LED or the display doesThis has been known to "kick start" some BBs.
You have already run this next test, so I'll strike that out...
It is also possible that your battery or BB has experienced a problem...to test, this sequence is needed:Obtain an known good and already fully charged additional battery...use it in your BB and see what happensObtain access to a known good and identical BB...use your battery in it and see what happensThe results of this will indicate if it's your BB or your battery that has the problem. Note carefully please that "new" and "know good" are not necessarily the same things. While rare, a "new" battery certainly could be defective. Rather, the simplest (and least costly, btw) method to conduct this test is to find someone with an identical BB who has no issues...trade batteries and see what happens. If the 4h15m process above does not revive your BB, then you'll need to seek in-person hardware support. At an internet distance, there's really nothing more we can do. If you remain in warranty, you could attempt to seek support under those terms (note that based on what you described here, they may refuse to cover it in warranty...that will be their decision to make). If you have no warranty, then seek out a local (to you) shop with a qualified BB hardware technician and have them render you a proper diagnosis and estimate.
Good luck and let us know!

IMovie HD crashes when tapehead runs over any still photos

I'm on a mac pro/Leopard with 80 G/20 gigs ram extra and the iMovie trash is empty and I'm not running any backup HD. I've tossed preferences several times.
I've narrowed down the multiple crashes of my iMovie HD 6.0 to when the head runs over a still photo (with the KB Effect or not). If I take off the effect, the photo never shows up. the photo is timing to show for nearly 2 secs.
I've tried seeing if it makes a diff if the still photo is coming from the clip file or from the media/photo file and whether or not the adjacent files are both hilighted (blue) or not. It doesn't. I've tried a transition and it plays along with the clip before it, but it all is crashing after, when the head enters the still photo, period.
Any thoughts?
thx

OK, after going back over the tutorial and resetting my preferences to a lower quaility playback, (originally I went with what was suggested in the Lynda.com tutorial, to use "Highest (field blending), it now seems to be working... if I use either of the 2 lower qualities of "Standard" (smoother motion) or "High" (better image)...
I'm not even sure what "field blending" is, but if this works, then does this give you (Klaus) an indication of just what is wrong? I don't understand the ramifications. So hopefully I can move ahead now.
thanx for any more input.

Why won't my external hard drive show up in iMovie 11?

My external USB drive - formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) shows up fine on my desktop, and worked fine with iMovie in the past. Now, it won't show up in the event library, or in the "Save to:" menu when I try to import video. I can see my iMovie projects and events on the drive in Finder, but iMovie just doesn't recognize the drive. Argh!!! Any ideas?? Thanks in advance!

Why won't iMovie show pictures in the trailers? And other problems...

When I try to insert pictures into my imovie trailer it lets me but it becomes black during the time it's supposed to show. Videos are fine though. Also, whenever I create a trailer, the wording disappears before you can even read it. any ideas? It is so annoying and I would like to get it fixed ASAP. Thanks guys.

Hey I had the same problem for days now. I tried everything including resetting my phone even my wi fi DNS and nothing seems to work. I've been searching and searching for days and nothing seems to work, and FINALLY I decided to back up all my videos and pictures onto my computer then rebooting my iphone completely. Here are the steps if you want your iphone to work again. First connect your phone to your computer open itunes and back up everything from your iphone to your computer it will take a couple of minutes. After that is done just go back to your phone to settings/ general/ reset/ ERASE ALL CONTENT AND SETTINGS and just click on continue your phone will shut off once it turns back on just follow the instructions it also has you either create an icloud name or use your old one, once you log onto your iclouds and set up everything go to settings then messages and sign in and wah lah it works! I was really excited I've been a little annoyed with the whole stituation and now I'm just happy it's fixed. Hope this works!!

Why won't iMovie show me my video?

When I try to play or edit my project, the window on the left that's supposed to show my project is black. It does this with all my iMovie projects.

I've already tried deleting the pref. file,
You found it in the right Library - Not the one on first window on Start-Up hard disk - but the one in Your User account. Hidden if You use Mac OS X.7
I've got plenty of room on my hard disk,
Only the Start-Up hard disk is of interest - my minimum is 25Gb free space
If You have any External Hard disk You use for VIDEO - It/they must be Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange works for most other things but not for VIDEO - they breaks the video file beyond repair.
and I'm not sure how you run repair preferences.
Run Disk Util tool and to the left select Your hard disk - now under the big white area to the right You read
Control Permissions and Repair Permissions - AND Control and Repair Hard Disk
To do the last ones Your Mac need to be started from DVD or other hard disk. Can not do Brain Surgery on one self.
I'm not to sure about the corrupted movie project thing.
Start a new iMovie project (Plus sign under Project Library) and put in one clip at a time and see if all works OK - If it starts to ill behave then last included clip might be the problematic one.

Why won't iMovie voiceover clips won't play sound!

I've been using iMovie '11 version 9.0.9, to make a school assignment. I started two days ago and it was allw orking perfectly fine, until today when some of the clips won't play. It started after I deleted a voiceover clip to replace it with a song from itunes. When I tried to add the song it showed that it was there but it played no sound. I managed to get that song working by dragging the song onto the whole project and then dragging and pinning it onto the parts I needed it.
After I got that working I tried to add new voiceover clips to the project but then there was no sund coming from that clip either! After about an hour of searching and fiddling I had just about given up when I played my project in the background and ran it through untill the end and I heard the last clip I added, that wasn't working before but now is.
At this point I recorded another clip to add thinking my problem was fixed, but alas that voicover clip played no sound. I thought I might try running through the entire project again to see if that would help like the last time. But no, that was not the case, in fact even more sound clips have stopped working.
I read in a lot of other threads that it might be a corrupt clip and it will have a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in it (or a spinnign circle?), but none of the clips have this! Is there something I need to do to see the triangle, if that is the problem? Or is it something completely different?
Please help me I desperately need to get this working by tonight!

Why won't my trash empty or show that it is empty?

HI!
I deleted a lot of files from my external drive then Trash deleted some of them but not all. I'm trying to Empty Securely Trash but it says: "The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."
I tried to press the option key and then Empty Securely Trash but it didn't work.
When I log into my administration account and insert the external drive then it shows that Trash is empty but when I use my usual users account and insert the external drive then it shows that there are items in the trash but it won't let me Empty the Trash.
Otherwise both my admistration account trash and usual users account trash are both empty, Its only when I use my usual users account and insert external drive then it shows items in the Trash and won't let me Empty it.
So now I don't know if there are actually items in the Trash that I can't delete or the Trash is actually empty but for some reason it show that it is not and won't let me Empty it.
Tried restarting computer multiple times but still nothing.
Help!

Unfortunately don't have any other macs around here.
When I did Disk Utility then only Verify Disk and Repair Disk buttons are active. Verify Disk Permissions and Repair Disk Permissions buttons are not active at all. Don't know why is that. I assumed that they werent supposed to be active with external harddrives as my other external harddrive which seems to be ok, when I mount it, then last 2 buttons I metioned also are not active. But if you say to use Repair Disk Permissions then something must be wrong with both of my external harddrives?
Anyway the external drive which Im concerned with right now (the trash won't empty), when I did Verify Disk and Repair Disk then got this:
Verifying volume “MY PASSPORT”
** /dev/disk1s1
** Phase 1 - Preparing FAT
** Phase 2 - Checking Directories

Why won't iMovie 11 open after installing lion?

I recently installed OS X Lion on my early 2008 Macbook and iMovie 11 worked perfectly. However, I just upgraded my internal hard drive to 500gb. I then reinstalled the new OS X Lion on this hard drive and used Time Machine to import all my files and applications including iMovie 11. However, now iMovie will not open. The menu bar shows that the application is running, however, there are no windows open and I can't open any projects. I have run software update many times and it states that it is up-to-date (iMovie 9.0.4).    I even redownloaded iLife and resinstalled everything, but it still won't open. Any suggestions?

Try removing these two files (must be removed at the same time)
1: Quit iMovie 11
2: Remove: {your local home account}>Library>Preferences>com.apple.iApps.plist
    AND
3: Remove: {your local homeaccount}>Library>Preferences>com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    These files will be recreated when you launch iMove
4: Start up iMovie 11 (should show your movie again)
Good Luck. Work Great!
PS...
Got Lion? (user prefs is hidden)- Here is how to find the user library preferences. Then you can remove the files as described. This will fix iMovie launching and showing the windows.
Use Go To Folder The Go To Folder command, in the Finder’s Go menu (also accessible by pressing Shift+Command+G). Just type ~/Libraryand click Go to view the folder.
