ADC-DVI = green screen

Hello
I experienced the "green screen" problem connecting a second monitor to a G5. I suppose it's a problem of wiring in the ADC-DVI adapter. Does somebody know how to hack the adapter to let the monitor get the right signal from red and blue channels? ADC-VGA adapters are no longer available, and I don't want to put a second video card.
thanks to everybody

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
First, check that no pins within the connectors are bent.
If you want to rewire, here are some pinouts:
ADC connector pinout
DVI connector pinout
VGA connector pinouts

Scaling and green screen in premiere cs5.5

Some background.
Years ago we used visual communicator pro to do some green screen shooting. I frankly did not know what I was doing with the lighting, and got a lot of spill and shadow. I've been looking for a way to fix this. I recently bought cs5.5 to be able to do this with Ultra keyer.
I also have VC 2.0 running on the same computer.
Since I don't want to set the background, and since Pr does not know how to import visual communicator raw camera streams (please, does anyone know how to convert these into something that pr can handle) , I decided on this course of action.
I rendered the vidieos in VC using a synthetic green screen (basiclly a solid green image produced in painshop with a color fill).
I have rendered videos with this, and they have a solid green background with a lot of shadows in .avi format.
I have a background that was originally to be used with each clip. The backgrounds are smaller than the dvi resolution of the rendered videos, so need to be scaled. They may eventually be replaced, but not right now. I am trying to get these rendered into green screens. i've watched a half dozen youtube videos and have gotten part way.
What I have done is:
Imported this image into pr as track 1 and the video as track 2. stretched the image length to match the video track.
I have dragged the garbage matt onto the video. I have dragged ultra keyer onto the video. I can play the green screen video.
I need to scale the image. I've tried everything in all the adobe help files and nothing seems to work. Clicking on the transform icon and twirling the scaling open, I cannot get the handles to appear around the image in the monitor window, no matter what I try. If I change to the video window and twirl open ultra key and 8 point garbage map, and click on the transform button, the handles for the garbage matt do not appear. If I click on the eyedropper, I can select the key color, but it doesn't take effect.
I am sure this is pilot error,
What am I doing wrong?

I have it working. The panel is the timeline. In the effects menu you can click the double arrow and the timeline view opens up. THEN it works. Go figure.
At this point I was able to render a video. But even with a lot of tweaking of choke, alpha channel etc, I have not been able to get rid of the gray border around the figure. It is there in the original rendering from VC and I was hoping to be able to get rid of it. So far no joy. I did try using it as the key, but that got othe grays in the hair, so that is no good. I wish where was sort of a spline garbage map that you could use to tighly outline a figure, and then the renderer would be able to track motion and keep the spline garbage map with the figure outline. It would take a lot of computing but theoretically it could be done. Or even an auto-trace feature like the one in the old corel draw, which would autotrace an image, making a vector spline out of it. It would then be possible to create a mask that would follow the motion of the actor.
The shadows and such are cleanly gone though. So now if I can reproduce the ability to do this on another clip, I have a fighting chance. It is sad that Adobe has abandoned VC pro. The teleprompter was a nice feature.
I imagine that I can simulate one using some other adobe tool, but I'll just have to play with it. I can see that using a good digital camera on a green screen and shooting footage that way will be a better solution. The only problem is that in the past 6 years since the footage was shot, my wife has aged a bit, so reshooting these shots and trying to combine the good ones with the bad ones, might not be as cohesive as one would like.
I appreciate your time. I still don't know exactly *what* I did that made it start working, but I am pretty sure it was opening the timeline in the effects window.

Cinelerra green screen

HI! i installed cinelerra-cvs from abs, and i can capture audio, but not video, all i see is a green screen. i did configure the program to find the webcam i'm using as source.
the webcam does work at another program i use, sonic-snap-gui. but the problem is that this app only records video, no audio, and i need to record video from webcam, audio from microphone.
does anyone have a sugestion? i would be VERY thankful!! if not cinelerra, maybe other program, tried kino, but couldn't configure it.

Cinelerra is meant to import/export DVI files, like those recorded by a video camera, it's not meant to be used (afaik) as a "live importer" of video content.
A quick Google search turned up these:

Inporting .Mov File from Foto Magico resulting in Green Screen

Hello,
I'm trying to use a slide show I put together in Foto Magico in my Final Cut Pro project. I used Export -> For DVD to create the file since it doesn't give me an option to export to QT (which I think is ridiculous). I then imported the resulting .mov file file into my browser, and it plays normally. However, when I drag into my timeline it asks for a render, and when I render the result is green screen. I've searched the discussions boards, but can't find an answer. I'm sure lots of you use this software....how can I use the work I do in foto magico in my final cut pro project?
Thanks!

Aha! You are right - I have two: 9400M on PCI and 9600M GT on PCIe and indeed when I switched to 9600M it solved the problem. Thank you!!! But why do I need two GPUs on 2 busses at all? Is that the one is responsible for the mini-dvi out for external display?

Green screen in paused mov-file in QT 7.6.6 under Lion 10.7.4

Hello everyone,
I started to experience annoying problem in Quicktime 7.6.6 after upgrade to Lion 10.7.4: mov-files do not show the frame when the movie is stopped or paused. Green screen is shown. Neither the movie shows when scrolling the position control. Frame by frame also just show this green screen. I saw elsewhere that it's not only me who has this. Any help from apple?
Thanks!
PS. mpg and mp4 files play OK. Quicktime 10.1 does not have these issues on the same movies.

How do i use my own image with keying (or green screen)

how do i use my own image witrh keying (or green screen)

Put your sky clip on a layer below the clip you want to key. One or the other will be a connected clip. Apply the Keying filter to foreground clip (the one with the green screen). The green will be seen as transparent and the sky will show through as the BG. Adjust as necessary in the Inspector.
Good luck.

Please answer once and for all the boot green screen

I have searched everywhere for an answer since my issue.
Relevant info:
iPhone 3GS.
iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (2012-09-12).
Doesn't matter what system I have since this is related to an iPhone device.
Fully charged battery before proceeding with the update.
Updated the iOS 5.1.1 of the iPhone to iOS 6.0 through required update recommendation of iTunes.
Never been abused, jailbroken, serviced or dropped. (never had issues until the update)
Once completed the updated process of iTunes and iPhone was done with the internal installation, the iPhone rebooted with a green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver". It loaded up to the iPhone Configure screen still with green color screen/hue.
I pressed on the power button for 5 seconds and slide "slide to power off" and the iPhone turned off. I waited about 15 seconds and pressed on the power button to turn the iPhone back on, hoping no more green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver" but returned to the original green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver".
Failed!
It still showed green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver" and booted to the iPhone Configure screen still with green color screen/hue.
Remedies tried after searching the internet:
Hard Restart/Reset.
DFU Mode. (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Recovery Mode (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Recovery from Backup is denied because previous version was iOS 5.1.1 and iTunes refuses the process so (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Left the iPhone at the Configure screen until battery drained and then plugged it back into the USB port of system until it charged long enough for the iPhone to boot yet again green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver". It booted to the iPhone Configure screen which is still the green screen/hue and I left it charging until battery icon top right showed full.
Now, can someone give a straight answer while staying on this topic about this issue, please?
*I can understand if the apple logo was green then it could be a screen issue but it is not the case.
All help is greatly appreciated even if you took the time to read all of this but did not answer.
Thank you!

I made a CF/Flex site based on the Flexstore sample app,
using a database instead of XML as the data source; in case you
want to see it:
http://www.timos.com/dg/flex/DilemmaGames.html
At first I had troubles similar to what you describe;
initially, part of the problem was that my hosting company had not
yet upgraded to CF 7.02. One other thing I had to correct: when you
upload to your server, upload the entire ‘bin’ (or
whatever your output folder is) minus the debug SWF.
If it would help with other issues, contact me and I will be
glad to make my project code available to you. Good luck.

HDCam to DVCPro HD Green screen---best way to go?

Green screen shoot on HDCam 29.97p. No have HDCam ability. Should I:
-send out for dub to DVCPro HD and then either
-capture by firewire from 1200A Panny deck
or
-from AJA card by HD SDI?
Will either give acceptable results?
Or gonna have to bite the bullet and send tape and a hard drive
somewhere and have HDCam captured to get acceptable
stuff to composite with?
Thanks in advance.
p2

If you dub it to DVCPROHD, that's where the "damage" is done... so won't make any difference capturing thru HD SDI or FireWire quality wise... But stay at 1080... don't go down to 720... as long as that machine of yours plays back 1080... better look into that for sure.
It should still be OK though as far as the green screening ability because it's still in a 4:2:2 colorspace.
That said, If you could capture from the HDCAM via SDI and go to ProRes... you'd be better off in theory.

Green screen, downlading files and updating programs often stuck at 99%.

Okey so I have got this problem for a 20 days, since I build my own computer. Some videos on youtube and other video stream sites bug out in the way that the video just goes green, and starts fast forwarding. Then I think streams on twitch.tv for example, I cant watch a stream for longer than 20 second and the video gets frozen and the stream needs to be refreshed. And updating games, downloading files often gets stuck at very end of the progress, and it wont succesfully download or update. Im not sure is it about Flash Player/Shockwave Player but if there doesnt come example green screen it may show something like you are missing add-on Flashplayer but when i refresh the page it may run the video fine for some time.
The problem rarely happens at youtube but heres one where it happened Crs Piglet (Vayne) first ever NA Penta - YouTube
Heres video where the video didnt start at all and aswell when it did the screen gone green again and fast forward. (contains adds) http://www.thevideo.me/kmqcwhblzheh
Heres screenshots and one bad quality phone photo album of these problems, green screens, videos stuck, downloading stuck and updating stuck 99-100%. Imgur
Heres my computer specs:
My operating system is:          Microsoft Windows: 8.1 Pro, 64-bit
Processor:                             Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz
Graphic card:                         Nvidia GeForce GTX 760     Driver updated to: Geforce Game Ready Driver 347.52.
Memory (ram):                       8GB
Motherboard:                         MAXIMUS VII RANGER
Dont know what else info I could put on about my computer really... I have tried to find answer, like disabling hardware acceleration, deleting flashplayer memory file, safe modes and all kind of tips I as able to find from internet.
And I use mozilla firefox (36.0), but the problems happens aswell in Internet Explorer. I have updated Flash Player (16,0,0,305), my drivers (Geforce Game Ready Driver 347.52), all windows updates, java(1.8.0?), but still cant find the answer why watching videos/streams work well.
Im sorry if I missed some info but ask if theres something.

The green screen means that hardware decoding has failed. It's probably a subtle, intermittent driver bug.
You can disable hardware acceleration in Flash to avoid this while you wait for updated drivers to become available:

Green Screen Problems, Please Help!

I'm experiencing problems with the greenscreen effects of iMovie 09. I really need help. What happens is when I drag the clip ontop of the other clip, I click green screen. Then play the clip and see just a few reen dots, not the green screen footage. If you need a link to the footage its http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAFMRKsoX5E. Please help, as this is one of the main reasons I bought a Mac.

the material you're linking to is in a .flv container (and downloading it violates the ToU of YouTube, just to mention that )
after re-wrapping it into a suitable format, works like charme:
… aside missing drop shadows, wrong perspective, missing highlights,
and somehow the dino is a lil' bit 'opaque'
how or into what did you convert the t-rex.flv?

Why do I get a green screen on all of my videos in Mozilla (YouTube, Facebook, etc.)

I have read the forums regarding this issue on Internet Explorer, but I do not know how to fix the issue on Firefox, which is my preferred browser. All videos have audio but there is no video, just a green screen. :-( Also, is there a different fix for IE other than disabling hardware acceleration? The videos are so blurry with that fix. Thanks for the help!

Can I use two different greens for green screening and keep one without it being keyed out?

I am using a green screen which is your standard light green fabric.
I am also wearing a bottle green cape.
I want to key out the standard green which is no problem. However it also takes out the bottle green on my cape.
Is there a way on either Premiere Pro or After Effects to ensure the bottle green stays as it is without being automatically keyed out?
Many thanks.

There's your answer, most likely. I can think of a few methods you might try, but they're going to be labor intensive, and likely involve some roto.
Most keyers have a threshold setting that determines what colors stay and which ones go. You could keep tweaking that setting in very small increments, and if you get lucky, it might discriminate between two green values.
You might be able to precomp in Ae and use the Change Color plug to shift one of them to a more contrasty green or different hue altogether and create a luma matte.
But, you failed green screen 101, and you gotta' go to detention.
robodog, you're being a bit harsh on Jimmy Simon. He said "Might be worth a reshoot...." I can't disagree. Depending on arahman's situation, a reshoot might be easier and quicker. You never know.

How do you use green screen and picture in picture in iMoive at the same scene?

I understand how to do green screen and picture and picture... but how do you do it in the same sequence.. so when you are speaking with a background picture and you want to add a picture or a story within that picture... there has to be a way to do that..

That is a great idea! So I just do everything to the clip involving the green screen. Export it to, say my desktop. Then import it back into iMovie. Then I will be able to add a picture in picture? Fantastic! Thanks so much!

Video card for HD and green screen

I use a windows XP64 based machine with a quad core I7 920 processor and 12 gigs of RAM with nVidia 260 card. I use CS3. Right now I am having severe crash issues in Premeire CS3.
I do HD 1080i video editing with up to 4 layers of green screen. I currently use Adobe AE Keylight2 for my greenscreen work. I bring the files into Premeire with "Dynamic Link". I crash, and crash, and crash. What is my best option to prevent crashing. A Quadro video card? which one? . Or, Matrox Max. My budget is somewhat limited. I can't get both. I want to upgrade to CS5 but need to fix this problem, now.
Sincere thanx to anyone who can help

I appreciate the quick answer and am considering moving to Windows
7 (64). What is the sad story about Matrox? What is the best way to speed
up my rendering or processing without having to purchase another cpu? Thanx once again for your quick response. I render primarily to h.264
