iMOVIE THEMES, KEN BURNS EFFECT & VIDEO FX RENDER PROBLEM
Hi,
For some reason I can't seem to get any of the themes to render within iMovie HD 6, or the Ken Burn's Effect to render. The render bar just stays in the black & never goes red. I also can't render any of the Quartz Composer Video FX. Here the render actually completes but when you replay the movie the effect doesn't appear. Everything else works fine & I don't have a problem rendering anything else. The weird thing is that all of the above worked fine for me last year so I don't understand why it's giving me a problem now. I can see from this discussion group that quite a few people have experienced the same problem, but there doesn't seem to be one definitive answer. Just so you know, I've tried the following...
- Reinstalling iMovie HD
- Reinstalling QuickTime
- Using Software Update to update to the latest versions of everything
- Repairing disk & disk permissions
- Removing any 3rd party plug-ins for both iMovie & QuickTime
- Deleting the iMovie preferences file
- Emptying the Caches folder
- Moving my iMovie file to the desktop & reopening it from there
- Checking the file formats of my photos & movies are compatible
- Checking my screen is set to millions of colours
- Checking I have more than 10gb of disk space
- Logging in as different user
- Restarting my computer!
If anyone could shed any light on this I would be eternally grateful.
Many thanks,
Ed.
