Audio but NO images show - black screen -up in the canvas viewer window????

Hi all,
I'm a newbie having problems with a file in FCP where the audio plays and but no image shows up in the Canvas window. I imported the audio from my camera and had some kind of a problem in the browser window where the sequence didn't show up with the actual length of time...it read 00:00:00. I reimported the quicktime file into FCP Express, and then it showed up fine. When I reopened it in FC Pro, this time, the sequence shows the full amount of time of the file, but I'm still getting all black in the canvas window. I'm at a loss to explain this. I have a feeling I did something wrong during the initial import, and so the actual source file is somehow corrupted. But when I open the source file in quicktime, it plays fine. It's only within FCP that it's all dark.
Help!!!!!
Thanks in advance

sounds like you do not have a source file that FCP recognizes.
What camera and what codec does it shoot? did you convert to a prores or standard QT format before or after ingesting?

    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • HT1937 I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened

    I have installed an app : Birdfield guide in my iPhone 4. But the app is not working after installation. It shows black screen when opened. I need suggestions to make it work or the reasons for not working.

    Yes TeeKnows, try deleting it and download it again. After finished installation if still shows black screen delete it out off 'running apps' by double tapping the home button and swipe it off. If still shows black screen then try fully turning off your iPad (holding the sleep button) and turn back on again.
    I hope I helped
    thanks

  • My lenovo g510 shows black screen every time I power it on but the power lights are on .

    Every time I power on my laptop it shows black screen.but fan is running and power lights are on. After detaching and reattaching battery several times onece screen turns on and laptop then works smoothly.but after shutting it down again on next day same problem persists. I have already tried power drain out method.but on the next go same problems arises.what to do.

    Hi Anish1,
    Welcome to the Forums  
    As per the query we understood that you are facing issue with black screen in your Lenovo G510 laptop.
    As you have mentioned that black screen when turned on, can you hear the windows login sound?
    Remove the battery and connect only adapter and check for the issue also connect only battery and check for the issue.
    Connect an external monitor and check if the display appears in the external monitor then its a issue with the LCD, if there is no display in the external monitor then it might be issue with the motherboard, hence suggest you to visit the nearest authorised service centre.
    Click here for the service centre and select your region.
    Best regards,

    Is there a sim in the iPhone?
    Has the iPhone been jailbroken or modified to work with other

    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at

  • Windows boots but won't load (Black screen with cursor)

    [Sorry for the long post, but I feel the need to fully explain my situation]
    I have the following problem:
    I turn on my PC, and Windows shows it's normal loading screen, after which it goes into a completely black screen, with just the mouse in the middle. By the cursor size I can tell that it's in a low resolution, probably 800x600 (compared to my usual 1920x1080). I am able to move the mouse around, but with no particular use without something to click on. No other keyboard input seems to work, except for Shift key 5 times, which brings up the Sticky Keys dialog box (with just "Yes" or "No" options, no other link); and Windows key+U which brings up the Ease of Access center. Ctr+Alt+Del does NOT work.
    So far this is what I have tried (in chronological order):
    Boot into Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Networking, Safe Mode with Command Prompt, Booting in low resolution video, Last known good configuration: all yield the same result as booting normally.
    Repair your computer:
    Startup Repair: Found Registry Errors (I realized and fixed this later on)
    System Restore: Did not find any previous restore points (I know for sure that there are, I made a habit of making restore points regularly).
    Windows Memory Diagnostics: Did not find errors.
    Command prompt:
    Ran chkdsk /f /r command, did not report errors.
    Ran sfc /scannow : I don't remember the exact report, but it asked for a restart to finish repairing problems. I restarted, and ran the command again for the same result.
    Forced the scan with: sfc /scannow /offbootdir=c:\ /offwindir=c:\windows , it found and repaired some errors, still could not load windows.
    Ran Dell Startup Diagnostics, found no errors.
    Ran Startup Repair again, found the registry errors again. I found the solution to this in a Microsoft Help forum ( answers.microsoft.com/.../f77d5355-b8be-41d6-af24-cae994e1768f ), and fixed the issue. I rebooted, but the problem persists.
    Startup Repair now finds no errors. I tried System Restore again, it found 2 restore points dated AFTER my problem started. I decided to restore anyways, but neither of them worked.
    I ran Windows Defender Offline:
    Quick Scan: and found 2 threats and removed them.
    Full System Scan: found 4 more threats, removed 2 of them, the other two couldn't be removed because they were within an ISO file.
    I tried Steps 1, 2 and 3 again with no luck.
    With each step I am aware that I'm closer to having to reinstall Windows, so I decided to see if I could still access my HHDD to save my personal files. I made a Linux live CD (with Ubuntu), but I am having trouble mounting the drives, because they are in a RAID0 configuration. "sudo dmraid -s" gives the following error: "ERROR: isw: wrong number of devices in RAID set "isw_dbdffjficc_ARRAY0" [1/2] on /dev/sdb".
    Important Details:
    I changed my graphics card about 4 months ago (an Nvidia GTX 750ti for an ATI Radeon HD 6450), and I was told that I may be running short with the Power Supply. The new card asks for a minimum of 450W and I think my PSU is 460W. This may or may not have something to do with this issue, I have no idea.
    The RAID0 configuration of my 2 500GB Hard Drives brought me a lot of problems from day 1. One of the HDD would randomly fail (I am able to hear a different clicking sound when this happens), and the computer would crash. Upon startup, it would ask for a boot device. The Dell startup utility would then only recognize 1 of the drives, but would finish without errors. After a restart or two, all would be fine and windows would boot normally (aside from the usual error recovery screen) without any sign of corrupted data or anything. Like I said, this has been happening form the day my PC arrived, but restarting a couple of times always fixed it. As of now, both HHDD seem to be working fine, the Dell utility recognizes both of them, and does not find errors in any of them, and I can access any directory from the command prompt.
    Is there anything else I should try before reinstalling Windows?
    Before the install, I would really like to be able to recover my files (I have important documents from college), is there any way to do this?
    Sorry again for the extremely long post (and for any language errors, English is not my native language), and thanks in advance.

    Since you still haven't got your data from the drive(s). I would advise performing a Windows installation without formatting the drive... I don't like this solution but at this stage you have probably tried everything else.
    Use a Windows 7 Reinstallation DVD when installing ensure you select...
    Select Custom: Install Windows only (advanced)
    If you do not select any of the drive options and simply highlight the largest partition and select next:
    Windows will dump all the old installation files in the Windows.old folder

  • Satellite A100-646 and external monitor shows black screen

    Hello to everybody,
    I have a similar problem with A100-646 (bought in Italy). Laptop's LCD and external monitor shows black screen but system boots without other problem. When laptop is not used for a long time (half a year) it work for one week without any problem.
    Unfortunately, there is no proper service in a place where I live. Perhaps, there is a problem with power supply.
    Is there other idea? Does anybody have a service manual? ([email protected])

    It is not easy to find shop where you can order original and new hardware components.
    Best source for such parts is definitely eBay where you can buy used but well working components.
    Upgrade? You must know that upgrade on mobile computers is not the same as on desktops. Cooling possibilities are not the best and each notebook model has optimized cooling system for original parts. So new graphic card can be more powerful and produce more heat and it is definitely not good for your notebook. So best thing you can do is to replace it with original part.

    I had a similar problem on a Yoga 3 Pro and no matter what I did, it did not work. So I tried a tool that I have had other people run as a malware repair, and it fixed it right up. But I did not write down what the error was. I do not know if this will fix your problem.
    The tool is called Windows Repair (All In One) If you want to give it a try, the instructions are below.
    Download Portable Windows Repair (all in one) from one of the following:
    http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repai​r_all_in_one.html
    http://www.majorgeeks.com/Tweaking.com_-_Windows_R​epair_Portable_d7222.html
    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/windows-r​epair-all-in-one-portable/
    Unzip the contents into a newly created folder on your desktop. Make sure your AV protection is turned OFF before running the tool....
    Open the folder, run the tool by right click on Repair_Windows (icon with red briefcase) select "Run as Administrator"
    From the main GUI do the following:
    Select Tab 3 and allow it to run Disk check
    Select Tab 4 and allow it to run SFC
    Select Tab 5 and Create System Restore Point
    Select Start Repairs tab => Click the Start
    The repairs window will open, uncheck the boxes as indicated, also the "Restart" option, then select Start...
    DON'T use the computer while each scan is in progress.

  • Importing Videos To Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Only Shows Black Screen

    Why is it Importing WMV Videos To Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Only Shows Black Screen.
    Thank You In Advance

    mrtomr4455
    Forget about all the rest until you check out the Announcement at the top of this forum regarding the current 1/2 wmv display related to a recent Windows Update kb file. I missed the wmv part of your initial question by focusing too much on the thread title.
    Here is a copy for your convenience
    Announcement: Windows Update Causes Half of Display to Be Blacked Out
    Hide Details
    MicroSoft has issued an Update for Windows, that is causing problems with Displays. The following is from Talbot McInnis, who tracked down this problem, and offers a fix:
    "MS bulliten MS13-057.  Specifically, on XP kb2834904 and on windows 7 kb2803821 is causing a problem
    For us, it occurs when decoding WMV9 files.  Not all uses of WMV decoding are affected, but I confirmed that when connecting the WMV decode DLL to a sample grabber for RGB32 video, the frames arrive black on top, so that points directly to decoding internals of the WMV Decode dll.
    You can uninstall these windows updates to resolve your problem."
    There are several threads on the problem that this Update is causing on the PrE and PrPro Forums, so one can get more details. So far, there is not another fix from either MS, or Adobe.
    Also, see this Adobe KB Article: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/wmv-files-corrupted-import-or.h tml

    I think that is your answer. Please let us know if that worked for you.
