Hi. I have a MacBook 10.5.8 and imovie 08 7.1.4 Two Questions if you
can help me please.
One How do I get a bigger font for my emails both sending and
receiving?
Mail > Preferences - click on Fonts & Colors and you can change the
fonts and sizes.
Two. In imovie I have an edited 36 minute video in project library
but it will not play. There is a yellow triangle in the bottom left-
hand corner of each clip that has been edited and in the small
triangle is an exclamation mark. when I try to play only the clips
that don't have the yellow triangle play.
When you attempt to play the project, do you receive a message,
"Source clip is missing" below a rectangle containing a white star?
If you do you probably have moved some video clips from one event to
another and iMovie has lost the path to the clips.
If so, I can suggest a couple of things to try to rectify this:
A)
1. The iMovie Events Folder should have a .localized extension on it.
Verify that it does by doing a Get Info on the iMovie Events Folder.
Home > Movies > iMovie Events folder.
2. Now find one of the iMovie Projects (in iMovie Projects folder)
that shows missing clips in the Finder.
Right click on the project in the Finder and select Show Package
Contents.
3. Now open the Project file inside the project in bbedit or any
editor like it.
Search for iMovie Events and verify the your paths are correct.
If not, fix them and save the Project file.
Bit of a pain, but you will hopefully get your project back working if
you follow the instructions.
This happens if you move any video clips from one event to another. By
viewing the 'Show Package Contents' it probably will show that iMovie
is looking for event 'New Event 1' or 2.
If you did change this name, you might be able to rename your event
back to what it was ...'New Event 1' or '2' and not experience 'Source
Clip is Missing'.
OR:
B)
Rae, it might be worth a shot trying this easier fix first, if it
doesn't correct the problem try my A) suggestion above.
To avoid this problem do not rename events in the event library after
you have used clips from that particular event.
1.To restore links, rename the events back to the original name.
2.To find out what the original name is hover over the caution sign
and it should give you a path, match the event name to the folder name.
If I'm completely off track and this is not the problem you are
experiencing, post back to WAMUG and someone or I might have other
suggestions.
Cheers,
Ronni
