AUDIO... thin green strip? Or all-emcompasing green blob?

Just getting started on iMovie '09...
On my FIRST test movie, when I drug in an audio clip, it came in as a thing green strip under the movie.
On my NEXT test movie, it came in as a green "background".
I have no idea what the difference is, or how I did it.
ALSO: I don't have the AUDIO BUTTON on the middle toolbar (or the other one next to it). I've seen those buttons in various tut vids... they are supposed to be to the right of the CROP button... how do I turn those on?

Some of the Tutorials are for iMovie 08, which has the audio button.
For iMovie 09, the Audio controls are built into the inspector, which is the little gear icon in each clip.
Click the inspector and go to the Audio tab of the inspector.

Green stripe appears on video after compressing

After running a Quicktime file through Compressor, I get a green stripe running horizontally across the center of the image. The stripe covers roughly a third of the screen vertically.
Some background:
The computer is a new 12 core, Mac Pro running Snow Leopard 10.6.4. After experiencing the problem I did a clean install of the OS, installed Final Cut Pro Studio 2, then installed all the updates and still got the green stripe. I have been using the same version of Final Cut on an iMac for two and a half years without this issue. The iMac is also running Snow Leopard 10.6.4.
The Quicktime file is 1920 x 1080, ProRes 422

Myself as well. I briefly talked to Apple phone support, but they didn't acknowledge the disrepency and proceeded to have me re-install Compressor (even though I was using a clean install of both the OS and Final Cut Suite). Of course, there was no change. It does bother me in that this may be an issue that affects other functions I haven't yet uncovered. I expect see this problem escalate as time goes on.
One rather humorous anecdote: The support rep wanted to determine if I had the minimum hardware required to run Final Cut Suite. When I told him I had just purchased a 12 core Mac Pro, he still went through the minimum required hardware list. One would think an Apple rep would know this system would more than cover the minimum requirements without going through a component checklist.

My iPad suddenly started to show crazy colors. I turned it off and had to use the two button trick to turn it back on. Now it shows only green stripes for a few seconds and goes back to sleep.

My iPad suddenly started to show crazy colors. I turned it off. It would not reboot until I used the two-button reboot. Now it shows only green stripes. only for a few seconds and goes back to sleep. HELP!

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

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 stripe on screen when using BT Vision box

I get a green stripe and spots on my TV picture (colour changes depending on TV picture background) when using my BT Vision box. The BT Vision menus however are not affected by the stripe and spots effect. When the TV (Sony Bravia) is used standalone (unplugged from BT Vision box) the picture is fine. When using our DVD player (BT Vision box switched off) the TV picture is similarly fine. Have you any idea what is happening? I've had the BT vision box for about 2 years and it's been okay up till now.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Many thanks for this - I had checked them previously, but switched off, unplugged everything and then reconnected - all up and working again. Best Rgds

Process Chain status not becomeing green even if all loads are successful

Hi,
The porcess chain status is not becoming green even if all loads are successful. How can I make it GREEN.
One more doubt I have.
Suppose I have 6 processes in my process chain and the 3rd process failed. If I run the function module RSPC_PROCESS_FINISH will start loading from the beginging or from the failed process.
I wish to load from the failed process onwards..what should I do ??
Kindly give the details.
Bill

Using that FM.. u will be providing the Instance and Variant of the failed process.. and hence the reload will start from the failed process but not the entire chain...
In general the process status shud finish then or based on the link combination the change from one process to other will happen...
try to maintain a wait time between the process atleast 2 to 4 secs..
thanks
hope this helps..

Quality Issues and Green Strip at Right of Frame in Comp. 3.5

I just upgraded to Compressor 3.5 with my upgrade of FCS which includes FCP 7 (I guess this is FCS 3 even though the upgrade box doesn't say so). The quality of Compressor's outputs using the same settings is noticeably inferior to the previous versions of Compressor in the FCS releases that included FCP 5 and FCP 6. I also have this green stripe that appears at the extreme right edge of the frame.
I mostly do h.264 compressions for streaming. In previous versions of Compressor included with FCS 5 and FCS 6, Compressor made incredibly good quality compressions when set to a restriction of 300 kbps for a 500 x 282, 16.9 screen size using the 'best quality' multi-pass encoding setting. In version 3.5 of Compressor, the quality, using the same settings, is absolute crud and I have this green stripe appearing on the extreme right edge of the frame.
My original source content is usually HDV 1080i60. The problem with my Compressor outputs w/ the green stripe is consistent, however, with footage I've been working with in Apple ProRes 422 (HQ)24p from a Red camera.
Has anyone else experienced this green stripe issue and know a solution? I'd also appreciate any suggestions on how to improve the output quality when compressing in h.264.
Also, has anyone gone back to the previous version of Compressor included with FCP 6 (sorry, I don't know what version of Compressor was included w/ FCP 6)? If so, does it play nicely with FCP 7?

I may have just answered my own question with the green stripe artifact issue in Compressor 3.50. Thought I'd share it to see if it helps anyone else.
A true 16:9 frame means the height of the frame is 0.5625% of the length (9 / 16 = .5625). I used to compress material with a frame size of 500 X 282. Although this wasn't a true 16:9 frame, the difference didn't create noticeable distortion and previous versions of Compressor handled it ok. In 3.5 this deviation appears to create strange artifacts, in my experience, on the right edge of the screen in the form of a solid green stripe. When I moved my frame size to 512 x 288, the green stripe artifact went away. 288 / 512 = .5625, which is a true 16:9 frame.
I have no idea if this is just a coincidence or a solution. These are the results of what 30 min. of testing yielded. Perhaps it will be helpful to others in dealing w/ the strange line artifacts on the edges of frames.

No SQL (hdbsql / HANA Studio) Connection to SAP HANA Rev. 69 (all services GREEN, running)

Hi all,
after starting HANA instance (locally installed on Linux Laptop) via sapcontrol [1], checking with sapcontrol's GetProcessList as well as HANA Studio Admin Console Diagnosis Mode Shows all Services GREEN, running.
However, when I try to open "Default Administration" in HANA Studio, it "Refreshing Overview" and is busy till infinity.
Trying to connect via \c command of HDBSQL eventually works, but any commands like \ds (list schemas) will run till infinity without returning anything.
SAP Business One for HANA SLD shows the Server but not the Company DBs / schemas.
I attached sapstart.log and statisticsserver_alert_sid.trc.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Kind Regards
Stephan
[1] I start HANA executing: /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/hdb/sapcontrol -prot NI_HTTP -nr 00 -function StartWait 270 2 OR /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/hdb/sapcontrol -nr 00 -function Start with user sidadm
[2] The issue occurs since the upgrade from Rev. 53 to HANA Rev. 69 (in the context of upgrading from Business One for HANA PL02 to PL09)

Yes Aleksandr
I think you are right.
After doing many installation of HANA Server in differrent AWS instances it didn't work for me.
But when I installed the HANA Studio on another machine with more RAM it worked.
I think we have to install HANA Studio on another AWS instance with 16 GB RAM to make it run smoothly.
Thanks & Regards

Hi it's puzzled of Evesham....I didn't ask the question but have experienced exactly the same. I switched the computer on and it went straight to safe mode

For some reason, even though I have advanced features checked, the menu with green screen and all those isn't popping up when I drag the video on top of another one.

Hi
I would trash - iMovie pref file - and re-try - sounds like this got faulty.
• Delete iMovie pref. file. iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD) / Users / "Your account" / Library / Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
chflags nohidden ~/Library (exactly like this - space included)
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )
Yours Bengt W

Scanjet G3010 Scans black color with faint green stripe

When scanning photos the black or other dark colors will have a faint green stripe over a portion of the photo. The green stripe may actually cover some of the other colors however it is clearly visible on the portions that are black. I have installed the latest driver for Windows 7 64 bit dated Oct 2012 with no improvement. This has been a issue as long as I have owned this scanner and I have grown weary of trying to reposition the photos to make the green tint less noticeable.

Thank you, FXChrome did the trick.

Horfrible GREEN STRIP down display. Help!!!

I turned on my I book g4 (owned for sixteen months) and found a bright green strip about one-eigth inch from top to bottom of the display. what gives? do I need a new screen now? No longer under warranty
shows up the worst against any colored or dark graphics background. it is a straight, glowing green line
anyone have any advice
many thanks

Sounds like you have a column of dead pixels.
You can test your LCD using Pixel Check: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/11661.
If the line remains stuck on green then chances are the pixels are dead.
Some users report that gently massaging dead pixels can sometimes bring them back to life. I'd proceed very carefully, however, considering there's a whole line affected. You don't want to risk further damage.

Capture green strip

I have a MSI Ti4800se VTD8x (ms-8900), and when capturing with WinDVR (I haven't any other programs installed - WINXP Pro is my OS), I get a green strip or line up the top of the video. I tried unplugging the source cable, and that only resulted in the dvr screen going black, with the green strip still there. My Country standard is PAL (Australia). When the NTSC_M standard is selected under Device > Video Input, the green strip disappears (a thinner white/grey line replaces it with white dots), but the image gets stretched, as you would predict. These lines are around 8-2 pixels in height. I remember it hasn't always been there.
P4 2.6gig
Asus p4s8x-x
512mb pc2700 ddr ram
winxp pro sp1

I have found the problem is not any hardware problem, as both Virtualdub and iuVCR capture without any visible glitches (except those of bad codecs at low compression :P). It is purely due to Intervideo WinDVR 2.0... I might try an update.

AUDIO... thin green strip? Or all-emcompasing green blob?
