ken burns effect deny photo import

Hi Peppo

my free guess. Update QuickTime to 7.1.3.

Yours Bengt W

More to try:
- delete iMovie pref file
- run Repair Permissions (Apple Disk util tool)

Hmmm. That's strange, peppo. Ken Burns works fine here importing to an MPEG-4 project.

Has anything changed with your video system? iMovie 6 requires a Quartz Extreme-compatible graphics card to use the Ken Burns Effect.

If the problem occurs only on an MPEG-4 project and not other types, you might try creating your clips in a DV project and importing the clips to the MPEG-4 project.

Hello

I also have some problem using Ken Burns effect in iMovie 6. Actually, when I click on the "Apply" button of the "Photo settings", the photo is added to the timeline but the rendering doesn't start (no progress with the red bar). Additionnaly when I want to save the project, I get an error message telling me that there are 2 active rendering process, but in "Actvity Monitor", iMovie is only eating 2 or 3%.

The rendering also stalls when I'm adding a photo directly from the Finder to the Timeline.

I got the same erron with MPEG-4 and DV projects, and I'm sure it was working fine a couple of weeks ago.

So I tried :
- repairing the permissions
- removing any third-party effect plug-in
- trashing any iMovie related file (app, prefs, plug-ins, support files..) and re-installing, then trying version 6, 6.0.2 and 6.0.3
- reading your last answer I also checked the Quartz Extrem-compatibility of my video card (Radeon9200) -> that's OK

That did NO effect !?

I got the same error with MPEG-4 and DV projects, and I'm sure it was working fine a couple of weeks ago. I'm suspecting a Quartz or Quicktime bug caused by a recent system update.

Thanks for any suggestion.

It's me again.

Looking through the logs in the Console, i found this error in the asl.log each time I'm trying to import photos :

[Time 2006.10.06 12:42:09 UTC] [Facility user] [Sender /Applications/iMovie HD.app/Contents/MacOS/iMovie HD] [PID -1] [Message GraphicsImportGetColorSyncProfile was called for an image that has a ColorSync profile, but the base graphics importer will perform ColorSync matching, so a generic profile is being returned to avoid incorrect matching. To opt out of automatic ColorSync matching and access actual embedded profiles, set the kGraphicsImporterDontUseColorMatching flag.] [Level 3] [UID -2] [GID -2] [Host JPS]

Could this really be a ColorSync problem ?

MJPprinn, that may be a different problem. There's a bug in iMovie 6 that causes a Ken Burns clip to go black when we UPDATE the clip after emptying the iMovie Trash. The clip must have been created with the Ken Burns checkbox ON.

iMovie (inappropriately) discards the source image saved in the project's Media folder when we empty the Trash. Later, when we update the clip with new Ken Burns settings, the source image isn't found and the clip goes black.

The easiest solution is to not empty the iMovie trash.

Karl

YEs, i recently emptied the trash....so what should i do to fix it? Start over?
