All footage BLACK in Motion 4!

Any footage either sent from FC4 or imported into Motion 4 displays BLACK. Footage is viewable in the internal viewer, Quicktime, in the file browser preview, and on an external monitor. Media preview shows BLACK as well as in the inspector. Footage exports out fine. Same issue when opening old Motion projects.
Dumped preferences, repaired permissions, zapped the pram. I'm at a loss. I'm open to any suggestions.
Any thoughts?
System is an 8 core MacPro running 10.6.8, 8Gigs Ram, GeForce 8800 GT
Regards,
Bill

Problem solved!
Issue turned out to be a custom monitor profile generated with an eye one and the X-Rite software. Switching back to a default profile brings Motion back to full functionality. The same issue has been caused by calibration profiles generated by other venders software. Only Motion effected. Weird!
This had a positive side... my skill level in AE has gone up more than a few notches.
Ciao!

My ipod camera is not working it is all pitch black

when open ipod touch camera its all pitch black how do i fix it ?

Did it ever work?
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Multi-camera monitor all windows black...

I just installed the latest update of CC which appears to have fixed my instance of the bug that set all edit points on the multicam timeline point to the start of the Multicam file after restart. However now I have the problem that the multi-cam monitor has all windows black even though they show in the program monitor composite setting, and in the sequence that contains the source files for the multicam file.
I got it to work once and finished another 4 minute piece from my concert, but now I don't know what I did to get it to work, how to get it back again nor what caused it to go black in the first place although it appeared to happen right after I exported a segment of the sequence to a youtube movie.
I'm combining shots from files from 4 different cameras. One camera file is a single 8.76 GB mp4 file 1080, 29.97p. The other three cameras all produced segmented 2 GB mts files, each 1080, 29.97 p.

At the risk of stating the obvious, this is definitely not normal. Please submit a bug report: https://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
Also, it might help to post your system specs here, especially graphics card & driver version.

Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag). Also Premiere Pro CS5, playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion.

Also Premiere Pro CS5 playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion, Premiere Pro is installed on the main drive but the footage is on an external drive connected with USB 2.
I'm wondering if it is just a problem with the Mac USB drivers maybe not supporting USB 2 ? (Because I have also installed Window 7 on this same MacBookPro and tested the same software "Zbrush and Premiere Pro" And they both work perfectly on the Bootcamp Windows 7 install, and so its using the same hardware so it has to be the drivers right ?)
Any help would be great, Thanks

Which model do you have? If a mid-2010 15", there are known problems with the GPU and the logic board will be replaced free.
Clinton
The Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro problems are related to kernel panics, so the GPU is still working. In the case of the OP, the GPU has stopped working completely, so his/her problem doesn't belong to the kernel panic problem, so the OP may have to pay. I may be wrong.
Also, the 10.8.4 update won't help as this is a hardware problem, but it's always good to keep OS X updated

Master Templates in FCP all gone Black

The Master Templates (under Effects) in my FCP have all gone Black.
But everything else under Effects are ok.
What happened and how to I revive the Master Templates?

Thanks for the link but it hasn't solved our problem.
We had to reload our software two weeks ago and that's when the problem started. We've done all the updates and trashed preferences but still black frames. Most of the past discussions end with users having no resolution.

Some Artwork On My Ipod Shows All In Black

Hi, I'm new in the forum, I hope someone can help me.
I've been uploading all the artwork on my ipod, but some of the album covers show all in black and I don't know why and what to do, does anyone have the answer? Thanks!!!!!!!
Greetings

I'm not sure, but I've been doing both, uploading to the itunes library first, and the I skip that part and put it directly to the ipod. But I'll try to put all the artwork on the itunes library first, thanks.

Go to Edit/preferences/user interface and make the pointer to dark to light.

All These Black Boxes

So I've searched performance setting in ID CS5, and can't seem to figure out how to get rid of all the black boxes appearing while I scale any object, or pan with the hand tool. Is this just an annoyance I'll have to deal with, or can I get rid of it?
Any help greatly appreciated, thanks

That's it! Simple fix. I'll put that in my notes.
Thank you Daniel!

Apply color correction to all footage by changing one color?

Hello everybody,
I have two versions of the same footage which I want to synchronize and make one video out of them. By masking, I've put one on top of the other and I'm synching the footage, but the colors are slightly different in the bottom one (a bit brighter). I've tried to correct it using several filters, but even though I get some really good results changing the values (I'm using Brightness and Contrast right now, but I've also tried Color Correction, HLS, Hue/Saturation...) they're not as good as I'd like.
In several moments, for example, the sky appears, in both layers at the same time. Is there any way I can make the bottom layer correct the sky color into exactly the one in the top layer, so the changes I make in the HLS of that color apply to all footage? That way the color changes would be perfect.
Maybe this is easy to do, but I'm a beginner at After Effects so I don't really know how to do it. Online tutorials don't seem to help much either.
Thanks!

I've been using the re:Match plug-in for similar tasks with success. It costs $90 but there is a demo version you can try out:
http://www.revisionfx.com/products/rematch/
and also a tutorial from Andrew Devin:

You can also match footage in Speedgrade, but I haven't tried that feature yet.

Clicks and visual interference from all footage from xf 300 mxf files

I'm having problems with clicks and visual interference from all footage from xf 300 mxf files in CC have formatted cf cards on camera as this has happened before and had camera checked with no problems has anyone else had this problem as cannot find anything anywhere. The cards are Sandisk Extreme 32GB and the manufactures say its not their card??

Kevin, thanks for your prompt response.
I've finally had the time to try this again and understand it.
I wasn't using the media browser. I was using the import function from the Project panel, which is how I have always loaded clips. I had never used the media browser and assumed that one ended up using it anyway no matter which front end used for import. i.e. I thought the media browser was simply the back end file selector dialogue.
So I see that (only) the media browser will import spanned clips as one unified clip into the sequence, which is an improvement for sure. I do think that import of the Project panel should work the same way.
I initially had a problem though, as my top level directory above the numbers clip dirs was not CONTENTS. It had to be renamed to avoid conflict with other CONTENTS clip set in the same project. So the media browser refused to load the spanned clips together, but would allow me to load a single clip. It wasn't until I guessed, and renamed my top dir back to CONTENTS that things worked and the the View as dropdown showed the magic Canon XF option.
I suggest this implied requirement be made clear in the manual, noting that the top dir must be named CONTENTS for this to work. Yes, I believe that's the MXF standard, but many people will rename their parent directory so multiple cards can be copied into the same project directory, instead of having yet another single-entry directory above the CONTENTS directory, like CARD1 CARD2 etc.
I beieve that the software is at fault and should be changed - if it can see mutliple numbered MXF dirs at the same level, it should simply deal with them. I know you can't fix that, but please warn people.
Anyway, thanks again for your reply. It got me on the correct path to a solution.

What update? What operating system is running on the Macbook Pro?

Partial footage/black screen when replacing footage in PPro CS5

Let's see if I can get all the relevant info down here.
Started off with a project in PPro CS5; using two source files (one an MP4 from a Flip cam - not the footage I am having an issue with) the other a direct-stream feed from a 3D application, converted to Lagarith. Both were dragged into the timeline and manually synced so the footage matches up - the MP4 is overlayed over the direct-stream in the corner of the frame, scaled down.
I have been using the razor tool to cut both sequences into short clips at the same time in the timeline to maintain identical in/out points. The Lagarith-encoded stream is lower resolution than I would prefer, so due to some other additional factors I have taken the stream and scaled it up from the original 640x360 to 1280x720 using a neat app called "Video Enchancer".
Now, here comes the issue; I have been editing with the 360p footage, and would now like to replace it with the 720p footage (basically proxy editing). "Replace Footage" function to the rescue, right? Apparently wrong.
Once I replace the footage, most of the timeline gets diagonal stripes across the cut clips, as well as a black screen in the program monitor for preview - indicating that the footage is still missing (though no red "media offline" image). Oddly enough, of the three 360p original files I used to edit with, the first replaced perfectly fine, the second replaced fine up until a certain point, and the third didn't work at all.
The oddest thing of all, however, is that I can view the replaced footage in the source monitor without any issues, and PPro reports no issues with either the video or the audio stream (audio is uncompressed PCM WAV). I can even drag the replaced footage (now 720p) into the timeline, and watch it in the program monitor.
The scaled-up 720p footage is of the exact same length as the original 360p footage; down to the frame count. Both are using Lagarith - yet for some reason, replacing the 360p footage with my scaled 720p footage doesn't seem to work correctly. Even selecting "reveal in project" over one of the cut clips that shows no video/audio points me to the correct source file!
What's going on here?
If there is any additional info you would need or like, feel free to ask and I'll provide it. Sorry for the long post.

I'm editing my reply, and going to post a new thread, as I figured out at least what the issue is: PPro is not detecting the correct duration of my footage.
