Attempt to play video in timeline causes red and green lines in Canvas

Hi!
When I hit the spacebar in FCP's timeline to play, sometimes I get red and green lines in the Canvas (looks like some wierd color digital interference). If I then hit the spacebar again, the audio will play, but with the same red & green lines. If I then hit it a third time, my video will play fine.
What the heck? Any ideas? This only happens every once in a while.
Thanks for the input!
My specs:
G5 Dual 1.8 GHz processor
Version 10.3.9 OS
4GB Memory
QT version 7.0.2
not connected to the internet

To be sure you'll need to include some more details, what version of FCP, and your current sequence settings, but I think I could make an honest assessment, right now. Make a note of your sequence settings, then trash your preferences, but make sure that you close final cut, also once preferences are trashed you'll lose sequence settings, and window configurations if you haven't saved them. So be sure to back them up, before trashing preferences.
You can find preference by following these commands:
1.type shift command h - this opens up your home directory
2.open the Library folder //----SPECIAL NOTE Be very careful in this folder do not move or delete any folders in here.----\\
3.open the Preference folder //----SPECIAL NOTE Be very careful in this folder do not move or delete any folders in here.----\\
Now find and delete these 4 files:
1.com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
Navigate to the Final Cut Pro User Data inside the Preference folder and delete the three remaining Final Cut Prefs Files They are as follows:
2.Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs //*This may be 3, or 6 depending on your FCP version.
3.Final Cut Pro Obj Cache
4.Final Cut Pro Prof Cache
Remember do not trash any folders period, nor move anything, delete on those 4 files, and remember once you delete them make sure you trash them from the drive, go to trash empty trash. You'll have to reconfigure any unsaved layout workspaces and system sequence settings.
This Clean system should be done once a year, but only if you notice FCP having problems.
Hope it helps.

  • How can I remove red and green lines from a footage?

    I cannot remove red and green lines without removing the title graphics that I have in my footage. How can I solve the problem and keep the graphic there?

    @Ann Benns
    I will try to do that. Thank you!
    @Bill Hunt
    Well, the raw footage is an avi filmed with a handycam. This error occurred
    the next day after I finished the editing in Adobe Premiere cs5. It might
    be something wrong with the title graphics that I use, but still if there's
    a solution I would like to find it out as this error occurred before.

  • Vertical red and green lines on my screen

    Today I was rendering a bass track in Protools, I do that a lot and always without problems, also today.
    It worked fine and I saved the render. Then I had to go for a while and left my mac on, when I came back I touched my mouse
    and bam! stuck! I work with two synced apple cinema screens, the left screen got vertical red and green lines and the right screen stayed black...
    I am in a big worry because there is four weeks worth of editing on this computer. Does anyone know what I could do about this?

    I suppose it's a graphic card failure. You'd better get new one.

  • Qosmio F30-117 - Display issues - red and green lines

    Hi there,
    I have a qosmio F30-117 and up to recently, I was delighted with everything about it.
    Then, mid session, the graphics began to deteriorate, which a reboot fixed.
    Then a few days later, it did it again and this time when I rebooted it came up with a corrupted display, lots of aa's all over the place then lines of red and green all over.
    Managed to get in by selecting safe mode with networking and got a desktop although still with the red and green lines all over it.
    Now its gotten worse still, when I boot up the laptop screen itself is blank, its getting something because it isnt totally black like it is when its powered off, but its blank.
    As a check I connected an external monitor and managed to get in again to safe mode with networking, but its still very bad, and still has the red and green lines all over.
    I started to have a look around on the good old www and there are numerous posters and articles with problems, and lots mentioning the red and green lines etc...
    so Im not alone, but no-one seems to know exactly what it is.
    Some have mentioned Toshiba acknowledging this as a problem and doing repairs even if out of warranty.
    So, any ideas, any advice, and does anyone know if Tosh have indeed accepted the problem and offering any help??
    Thanks in advance

    Hi
    I think it's a common problem in the Qosmio F30 models. After long term use, the soldering balls under the GPU chipset start to melt down because of the over heat and the bad soldering quality that was used with the F30 model that cannot resist high temperature. Now you have to replace the motherboard, since the GPU is build within the motherboard.
    However, there is another two solution for this problem and cost less money amount:
    1- do what is called a "heat reflow" for the VGA chipset: to do this you have to take the motherboard out and heat the VGA chipset on the motherboard with a heat gun or you can bake it in the oven for a few minutes at low temp, this will make the soldering balls melt and go back to there right position. However, you need to keep in mind that this solution is temporary and will last maybe for month then you have to do it again and again till you ruin the GPU and then the only solution will be to buy another motherboard. So I don't recommend that you do that at all, but if you don't want to spend a lot of money on a new motherboard this will help you to recover your data, even though there is more easier solution to do the recovery.
    Anyways, you can go to youtube and search the term "VGA heat reflow " to see how people do it.
    2- send your motherboard to a repairing service that can do what is called reballing: what they do is that they will replace the soldering balls under the VGA chipset with new ones that can resist high temp. and this solution is permanent and even in the future you don't have to worry that the same problem will happen again since the new soldering balls can take high temp change. I do recommend this solution even more than buying a motherboard, since the motherboard that you will get will generate the same problem after few years.
    you can find this type of repair service online if you googled the term "VGA reball repair" or you can find it on ebay
    If you decided to replace the motherboard I think you will not be able to find a new one, and in case you found one it will be more expensive than a new laptop, but still you can find used motherboard for your qosmio on ebay or online. so you need to do a search and find out what fits your budget or maybe it's better to buy a new laptop.
    Sorry about your qosmio, and hope that my post will help you!

  • Yellow triangle with "!", red and green lines

    why is this showing up on parts of my clip?

    this is the range check feature showing if you have legal luma levels (green check) or illegal levels (yellow !)
    try searching the PDF manual with the term "range check" to get a greater understanding of the feature and how it can help you (as well as how to disable and enable it)

  • Removing red and green grammar error lines in Adobe reader?

    How do i remove the green and red lines in Adobe Reader?
    They are spelling and grammatical errors, and they appear on printed documents?
    Is it from Microsoft word that i converted it from, as i turned off grammatical and spelling errors from word options, proofing etc.
    I don't want them on my printed material, so what would i go about doing?
    If someone could point me in the right direction then that would be great.
    Thankyou.

    The PDF document was created in microsoft word, also the parts that have the green or red wavy underlines, are imported from Powerpoint.
    Is there a way to remove these red and green lines without having to edit the powerpoint parts eg instead of going into power point making the changes and then bringing them into word again.
    So if they could be removed from the word document alone.
    Thankyou.

  • GLC: Recorded video has red and green flashes

    I tried Googling for a solution but GLC appears to be such an obscure program that none of the results are even related
    I finally got GLC working mostly correctly on Arch64. It records my game in Wine, but when I play back the video it has a red or green "flash" every few seconds that is really disruptive. I know glc-capture has a bunch of options, but I'm not sure what most of them do so I was hoping somebody knew how to fix this problem without me trying different combinations of options until something hopefully works.

    Alright I've done some more playing around with it but I don't think I'm any closer to a solution.
    I've tried pretty much every command line switch to GLC that I think could have any effect at all but nothing changes. The game in question I'm trying to record is EVE Online. The intensity of the flashes seems to vary throughout the recording, here's what I can gather:
    - No flashes at all during the login screen (which does have a bunch of 3D rendering, it's not just a flat text box or anything)
    - Moderate flashes when flying in space, primarily when I try to pan the camera
    - Video goes to complete garbage when I dock in a station. Not a single frame from inside the station is output to the video, it just loops the last in-space frames with lots of colors and other garbage obscuring the screen
    I can upload a video if anyone thinks it would help. I'd really like to get this working, GLC appears to be the only program under Linux that can be used to record games. It seems like I'm so close to a solution yet so far away.

  • HT4589 When using compressor voice is not sync with video. What causes this and how to fix it, please?

    When using compressor voice is not sync with video. What causes this and how to fix it, please?

    Although you say you have let the battery drain, was it for long enough? Since nothing else that you've tried so far has worked, I suggest that you leave the iPod unplugged for at least four days, preferably a week. That way, if something is stopping the iPod from turning the screen on, then whatever it is will drain the battrey. However, since the screen isn't on, that may take longer than if the screen was on.
    Then, after that time, plug the iPod into a power source and leave it alone for at least thirty minutes. Only after thirty minutes will it show any signs of life, but you should leave it until it is fully charged before trying to use it.
    If you get to this stage, the fact that the battery has drained will cause the iPod to reset when it springs back to life.
    Let us know how you get on.

  • Does anyone know how you can play video with the screen locked and not just recorded video. Like downloaded video?

    So I want to be able to play video mp4 for my kids and lock the screen so that they don't disable or stop the video. Is there anyway you can lock the screen and play video? I've seen an app that tries to do this, but it only plays video recorded from the device. Also, it's not very good. I've also looked at IOS 5, but it only seems to support audio, not video, unless I am not doing something correctly? What happened to the simple old manual 'hold' switches that most devices have, like the PSP etc? It seems like all of the touch devices have neglected a simple touch disable button? Anyway, please provide any enlightenment here. 

    actually nevermind, it's working now. I closed iTunes, then waited a little, then double clicked one of my iTunes video files from my documents, which opened up iTunes again and the video started playing. I tried restarting iTunes before and that didn't work, so maybe for those who have similar problems, just try clicking on the video file in your documents/desktop of your computer, rather than directly from iTunes.

  • Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto, Its quicktime X, and it works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

    Very recently, my computer stopped opening quicktime when I click on a video clip in iphoto. I have quicktime X, and it still works to play videos if I open quicktime and then search for the video. How do I go back to quicktime automatically launching from iphoto?

    Well since I do not have iPhoto 7 I can only guess what may be: As far I can remember up to iPhoto 8, iPhoto insisted on Quick Time Player 7. As I can see you have Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) and there Quick Time X is the standard playaer. Basically Quick Time 7 is not part of Snow Leopard.
    Can you please check if Quick Time 7 is installed under Applications->Utilitis (in 10.6 Quick Time 7 if presenet is installed not under Applications - there Quick Time X is - but under Application/Utilities).
    If not: insert your Snow Leopard installation DVD.
    Once the installer opens, double-click on the Optional Installs folder
    Double-click the Optional Installs.mpkg package
    Click continue.
    Select the option for QuickTime 7 then click Continue to start the installation.
    If it is there you may try to move the iPhoto prefernce file to another folder and let iPhoto create a new one.
    Please keep the old file until you are sure that iPhoto works how it should.
    The iPhoto preference file can be found under your home folder then Library then Preferences and there
    com.apple.iPhoto.plist
    As alraedy mentioned do not delet this file, since if something goes wrong you can put it back.

  • My iphone 3gs dont have a red and green color can you help me how to fix it

    please help me my i phone dont have red and green color how to fix it

    If you have the old phone, connect it to iTunes, right click on the device, and choose transfer purchases.  If you no longer have the old phone, I don't believe there is a way to recover them, as they were on your original device.

  • HELP!! lightroom 2.5 red and blue lines.

    Hello to all, Reacently I upgraded from 1.x to 2.6 and now my previews show a sort of red and blue lines around the highlights, that doesn't bother me  at all, the big issue is that such lines appears in the prints from lightroom. And that's not all those line also appears in the exported to photoshop.
    My raw files directly processed (in PhotoshopCS3) doesn't show any problem.
    Thanks!!!

    Are you using a PowerPC (e.g., G5 Mac) machine?
    Your thread title says "2.5" but your original post mentions upgrading to "2.6" ... I bet you're actually using 2.5. Is that right?
    If the answer to both is yes, then yes, this is a known issue for specific camera models. It is fixed by updating to 2.6.

  • Playbook displaying my photos:- washed-out, reds and greens look faded,

     Hello x Im new here just got my Playbook
    Can anyone help with this.
    Two weeks ago I bought a Blackberry Playbook from Simply Electronics over the internet simplyelectronics.net. The website was in english money, union jack icons plus english phone number. I phoned customer services about an issue just to check the firm out, then went ahead with my purchase and received it in four working days. 
    I have since found out, like many other people who ordered from them, that Simply Electronics is in some other country - I do not know if it's China or U.S.A. I would never have known if I had not looked them up on the net for reviews. They seem to have changed their website now to American dollars.
    That is not the essential problem though, this is:-
    The Blackberry Playbook, though superb, slick and working fine in all ways, has a problem with displayment of colour photographs. The colour is washed out, particularly reds and greens. Photos which look vibrant on my Sony Xperia phone and on my computer, look very jaded on this tablet, although the resolution and clarity is superb. It's not just the saturation that is poor. There is a colour bias.
    I am a photographer and I primarily got this tablet specifically for showing photos to people (taken with my Canon SLR camera and my Sony cameraphone). It is now gutting for me to see the vibrant reds coming up as a burnt orange or browney red. Grass looks washed out and not lush as it was in the photo.
    I do believe there is a fault with this Playbook.
    Do you know if this is a known problem or issue with the Blackberry Playbook or with Tablets in general. Do you know what I could do about it? Do you know how I could get in touch with Blackberry to tell them about it.
    Returning it to SimplyElectronics if they are in another country would be expensive and I may just get another Playbook with the same or a different fault - too much hassle.
    I do not know what my best course of action would be. Can you help.
    The fact I got the Blackberry Playbook for £204 postage free, is some consolation as it's a good item with no other flaws, but when I see my photos on the screen, the colour problem seems too big a deviation from normal to be satisfied with it.
    What can you advise. Is this colour wash-out a common thing. How do I contact Blackberry?
    Carolyn

    I don't know have this issue with pictures and images. The color rendition is superb. It is not a general fault of the Playbook.. there could be some issue with the one you have.
    First, try a reset of the Playbook. Press and hold the Power key, up and down volume (-/+) all three buttons simultaneously, for about 10-12 seconds. You should the red LED blink and that should allow a reset of the PlayBook and to power up. Afterwards, do the images appear any better?
