I have no hope that I will get this fixed anymore, but I'm so frustrated that I must vent, which I will put in the form of a question.
I have a big iMovie project that I was puting the finishing touches on last night. Everything in it looks and sounds perfect, with one sole exception: The very first video clip causes a little glitch (sort of a scratchy pop) in the sountrack accompanying it.
More specifically, the movie starts out like this: 5 second color clip, then a wash in on the first video clip, which has its sound turned down to 0%. A sound file from iTunes starts playing about a second before the video clip, but at the exact point where the flat color chunk transitions to the video, there is a pop in the soundtrack--no biggie, but unnecessary and annoying.
The maddening part is that NOTHING I do will eliminate it. I've tried replacing the clip, putting stuff before it, deleting and re-adding the transitions, duplicating the underlying .dv file in the Finder, re-importing a copy into iMovie HD and using that, changing the length of the color clip before it, replacing the color clip with a white stillframe, and probably a few more variations that I can't think of now. NONE of them make the slightest bit of difference.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I spent at least an hour on this, and I'm at the point of just pretending it's not there. For what it's worth, the project was started in iMovie 4 then updated to iMovie HD. I don't remember if it was there before.
Note: Other than this one infuriating glitch, I'm really liking the small improvements in iMovie HD, and the project, 20 minutes long and consisting of over a hundred shots and lots of precicely-timed soundtrack music, has come out remarkably well for something that I should really be using FCE for.
