Apple TV Green Screen

I am having problems with my AppleTV, all I get is a completely green screen, I hear it starting up with the welcome screen but no video just this green screen. This happen after I updated to the 3.0 software and since I cant see any video I can't got to 3.0.1. I was trying to make an appointment at the apple store but there is no category for AppleTV only Mac, iPods and iPhone so I don't know what category this would fall into. I have tried rebooting it many times but just goes right to the green screen.

I haven't seen any reports of a green screen before. Either something went seriously wrong during the update or you have a hardware problem. If it's under warranty, take it to an Apple store or call AppleCare. Forget about the web site form.

You really will need to explain this a bit more carefully, pretend we have no clue what you're doing, and phrase this in the form of a question. For all we can tell, this is exactly the result you wanted and you're just telling us about it.

Green screen doesn't work with Apple's own animated backgrounds

Aloha--
I am putting together some greenscreen videos for a class, and I cannot get any of the Apple animated backgrounds to work. I've tried several of the spinning globe options, but when I drag my video onto them, I do see the "+" symbol, but the options are always to replace the clip, never to apply the greescreen. If I use one of the Apple plain still clips, or a video I record myself, I do see the "greenscreen" option and I can make them work with my greenscreen videos, but I'd really like to get one of the spinning globes to work, especially as the Apple help indicates that they were designed for greenscreens. How can I make this work? Thanks.

The problem with the Spinning Globe is: this is no 'video'
Create a New Project
Add just the globe you like
Export this 'Project'
re-import resulting video into your Events
you notice the difference in my attached example?
globe#1 was ex- and imported = Dino applied via green-screen
globe #2, 'interactive' generated graphics = no green-screen optional

Apple TV 3 shows a green screen on all videos

I have recently bought an apple tv 3 and upgraded to 5.1. Now ALL my videos show a green screen on playback, but I can hear the audio. This happpens with all videos, youtube, even apple trailers. I tried to downgrade to 5.0.2, but the problem remains.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
How are you connecting them to the TV.

Green screen when trying to watch an Apple Keynote.

When I try and play the new iPhone 4 Keynote in Quicktime, I can hear the audio, but just have a green screen as video. I have Quicktime X.

You should be using QuickTime Player 7, which is in your Applications/Utilities folder (if you've got it installed). If not you can install it from the Snow Leopard DVD (Optional Installs).

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.

Can't figure out why green screen is pixelating!

I had terrible problems with square pixelating on my production.
any ideas on what caused this... we played with saturations all day with no effect. I did have a empty green "last frame". It seemed nothing we could do would help!
I filmed with a Sony DCR-SR68 HandyCam in the highest quality and the background I chose from a Free Use source for greenscreen back grounds online.
I hope you can give me some insight here...every tutorial i have watched made green screen in iMovie look very simple... and yet we could not figure out why this pixelation was occurring!
reasons i wondered about:
green screen is too light?
...however i have seen screens look a lot worse and work
something to do with how i am filming?
...i realized that "facial recognition" was turned on which caused the camera shot
to move a little as i moved
am i too close to screen?
...i was about a foot away from screen (but no shadows) and camera was about a yard in front of
me
if anyone wants same rendering or screen shots let me know and I can email some!
Let me know what you think and if you need anymore info!
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Earl...
I know you said you reformatted the drive but just in case, how much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
fresh install of 10.4.7
Most recent version for Tiger is v10.4.11. Have you tried updating the software from the Apple menu > Software Update?

The dreaded "green screen"

This is really bizarre, and I'm very confused as to why this is happening. iChat is allowing audio to go through, but the built in iSight is not working. When I open Photo Booth, all I get is the green screen. I downloaded the update Apple suggested, and still, no luck. The weird thing is the camera works fine on Yahoo! Messenger for Mac...any suggestions?

Hi David,
If Jan's suggestions does not work they try deleting com.apple.ichat.plist in /Users/(your Account)/Library/Preferences and restarting ichat
Also check that System Preferences > Displays is set to Millions

The best green screen work flow for FCPX

I over 300 clips done in green screen. Some clips are 10 seconds some are 5 min. I need to prep them for import into Motion 5 where they will be keyed and background graphics will be added.
The way im doing it now is dragging the chosen shots into one storyline then do one massive export of all the clips to one clip.
Does anybody have a better way of doing this?

Right now there is no roundtripping available for clips in FCPX --> Motion --> FCPX. Your only option is via your current method (export/reimport), or as James said, start your workflow inside Motion.
Use the Feedback page to enter the feature request to Apple (I've done this already myself).

Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work?

Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work? I've been trying for about 8 hours, absolutely no success. I have followed the iMovie Help instructions and the examples on the internet, over and over again. I've tried every imaginable variation on the instructions. Nothing from my green movie shows up. The green in my video is pure green - 100% green, 0% red and 0% blue. Yet the non-green images in the video aren't getting displayed at all. Several other people have mentioned a similar problem on these forums and they are all "unanswered". Is that because this is an unsolvable problem? Is it an iMovie bug? Sigh. I'm a big fan of Apple but stuff like this gives them a bad name.

After several more hours of diagnosis I have identified some conditions which can make Green Screen slightly work (but not much). The condition is as follows. The green screen clip must be carefully dropped at the beginning of a video clip, such that at least the first two seconds of the green screen clip (no less, but no more or the clip will become attached to the previous clip and then it's broken again) are displayed over the PREVIOUS video clip. But the green screen will not work on the previous clip, only on the second clip. So you will always lose the first two seconds of the green screen video. It took me a lot of experimenting to discover this anomaly.
Clearly this is a bug, but since not all users on the internet experience this bug, (some online videos shows that Green Screen actually works as advertised) it's most likely related to the video card driver. My video card is an ATI 4870. If you have such a card, there's probably no hope that you can get this feature to work unless Apple fixes the driver or possibly the iMovie application, or you use my tricky workaround.

Trying to composite from Lightwave 3D using Green Screen

Regards,
I am trying to do a simple picture crawl across the bottom of my video. First I tried using a transparent.png file that was 2240x540 and using the ken burns effect cropped it to move across the screen. This worked to an extent. The only problem is that imovie scaled the resolution to match the horizontal measurement of 960 pixels. leaving the image in a very low resolution. On that looked horrible.
Second try: I own a copy of Lightwave 3D 9.6. I love this program! I figured I could output video that had the crawling photos across the bottom, with green screen as the background. I output it in Apple Intermediate Format for ease of import. and when I place my crawl as a b-role/green-screen the entire image disappears.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong. I would love to figure this out so that I can composite my 3D animations on top of my imovies. I love the simplicity yet accuracy of the new iMovie 09. I just want to figure this out.
Any help would be appreciated.

The green screen feature is designed to work with camcorders, so my advice would be to make sure you are using a frame rate like a camcorder (either 29.97fps or 25fps for Pal.
Also, a perfect green background doesn't seem to work very well. Try a gradient or shades of green like a real greenscreen would have (i.e. shadows, imperfections).

Green screens at the beginning of each iMovie chapter

I've seen lots of discussion about green screens related to slideshows and transitions; however, I'm seeing them on finished DVD's when using chapter markers and navigating from the select scene menu. They're usually no longer that a couple of seconds, and don't appear if I play trough a chapter marker, I'm not using any transitions, just straight video from a youth football game, i.e., 50-60 short clips back to back with a chapter marker for each quarter.
Bottom line: They're annoying, but not detrimental to my project. Nevertheless, I think it's a bug rather than a deliberate feature. I'll use the iDVD feedback as suggested by other users to make sure Apple gets another reminder.

Chapter marker "rules":
Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the start or end of the timeline. Make sure no chapter markers are within a transition. Make sure no chapter markers are within two seconds of the end of a transition.

IPhoto Slideshow images will not burn to DVD -- Green Screen

I'm trying to burn a slideshow I created in iPhoto '09 to a DVD using iDVD '09. The first few time I've done this, everything burns properly, including the DVD menu. When I select the "play" button to play the slideshow, the music that I originally entered plays correctly; however, the screen is completely green and none of the images appear.
Slideshow has 136 pictures and three songs from my iTunes library. The menu in iDVD has no music and only one pictures, using a previously loaded theme from the default options. I am burning the slideshow to 16:9 ratio, NTSC, best performance.
I have tried creating using the autoplay upon dvd insert option, which still did not work. Same green screen with slideshow music playing. I am currently trying to export the slideshow as quicktime movie then adding that to the project.
PLEASE help. Any ideas appreciated.

I did search apple's KB again but that's the only article I could find on Green Screen so I posted it to the forum for reference purposes only....
Sorry it failed to help. I'll ask around for other suggestions and if anything comes up I'll post back.
DRM is certainly a possibility as suggested above even though I've not seen it attached/related to an issue of this nature (lines yes, but rarely the entire screen).
