I made a wonderful slideshow gift for my husband for Father's Day. As I was finalizing it and looking through all the photo settings (most have the Ken Burns effect), the Ken Burns effect preview went black on me. Everything else seems to work but now I cannot adjust my photos. I have repaired permissions, deleted the iMovie preferences file, deleted the font collection folder, and run all the maintenance scripts. Does anyone have any ideas to help me recover this project and fix iMovie? Thanks so much! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What do you mean by, The Ken Burns preview went black? do you mean that you have a black viewer? What happens when you select the slide in your sequence timeline and hit the spacebar? Have you opened the Photo Settings HUD? regards, sb On Jun 17, 2007, at 4:17 AM, Landya McCafferty wrote: > I am having major problems with iMovie.

No problems there but he needs a graphic superimposed overtop of the freeze frame images. I created a graphic in photoshop. I exported the edited video in max DV quality from iMovie it?s a 2.2GB file that plays fine. Then I imported that into FCP 5 where I was going to drop the graphic in the right spot and got that to work just fine except there is no sound in FCP with the video. It goes beep beep beep instead of sound. I?ve tried rendering the sound and that doesn?t work, rendering all doesn?t work, no rendering I could do worked. Will FCP not take the sound from an exported iMovie file? The sound track shows up in timeline. Thanx Richard -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Either export the iMovie using QT Expert and change the audio sample rate to match you FCP sequence, or, create a sequence preset in FCP to match your iMovie settings. regards, sb On Jun 25, 2007, at 1:49 PM, Richard Gilmore wrote: > I have a video I?m working on that was originally edited in iMovie > by someone else with some ?freeze frames? in it, 5 secs each.

I can export a file for iPod and it looks great. My problem is every time I export a separate file for DVD burning in Toast 8 ? using QuickTime (with "Self-contained Movie either checked or unchecked) the resulting burn shows dropped frames on playback. The video and sound are crisp but the playback stutters ever so slightly. The movie has a simple white on black title, mostly dissolves, six wipes and some cuts. The media resides in an external Maxtor 160GB FW hard drive. The drive shows 20.46G still available. When I apply "Get Info" to the FCE Documents file where all the files are stored it shows 6.24 Gig. I notice since I've made several versions of this movie (Save As v. 01, 02, 03, etc.) that there are a number of files stored in the FCE Documents folder on the Maxtor drive. Could it be I have to copy all the media to my internal hard drive to get a good burn? I hope not. I'm using an aluminum Powerbook G4, 1.5 GHz, 1.25GB Ram and OSX 10.4.9. How can I export from FCE to get a decent DVD to play on a TV without dropped frames? Thanks, in advance. Karl -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

He's willing to purchase a good camera to do the job. The video will be shot down in Central America and the Caribbean (assuming amateurs), but I'll be updating the site from Canada. 1. What would be a good method of transferring files? 2. What would be a good camera to get? 3. What size/format is best suited? I'm on a 20" core duo iMac, OS 10.4.10 with 2GB RAM, 256MB video RAM and 500GB internal with 200GB external HD. -D. Coram Deo ? Before the face of God ?
