AV Cable fine, S-Video Black and White

Anybody have any idea why I can get a colour picture on my TV if I use an AV RCA cable to connect my 80GB ipod, but if I use an S-Video cable it only comes through in Black and White?

OK, so the ipod is plugged in to a cradle which has both the mini-jack and an S-video output. Is the S-video connection not supposed to carry all of the visual signal, including the colour information? Strangely, when both S-video and all three mini-jack output leads are connected, the colour picture is improved over just connecting the AV leads. Why should this be if the S-video on its own can only show a black and white signal?

Make video black and white

I searched for an answer but was only able to find info regarding color pass. I simply need to know how to make my video completley black and white. I have tried dragging down different effects and turning down all RGB, chroma, gamma etc...but I can't find out how to do it. As a long time Premiere user, there was an effect that one could drag down and it would make the video black and white.
Please help me find a simple way to make video black and white. I'm using Final Cut Pro 5
Thanks in advance!

AND-- you'll probably find you want to play with the contrast a little bit. Video is notorious for really not having all that much contrast range. It's the colors that fool the eye.

Videos black and white

Hi there.
I have a iPod 80GB, and the original iPod AV cables with docking station. I have connected the cables to my home theatre system. Music fine, and I have a cable running from video out on dvd to tv (plasma). Get picture, but in black and white. Have changed all components (dvd, iPod and tv) to PAL, still no change. Any ideas PLEASE!
Thanks

To everyone else who have tried the PAL to NTSC setting and still getting black and white output.
I had a 60 GB IPod Video which I bought the A/V KIT. I set the TV out to ON made sure it was set to NTSC, even tried the S-Video Cable which I bought at Radio Shack. Tried several different TVs. I reset the iPOD, even restored it to factory settings wiping all my data and reloading the COLOR video's with no luck.
After many fustrating searches on many websites (none of which had solutions but several others who had the same problem), I called apple support. Due to my inability to make a descion on how to repair the problem I actually ended up taking to three different support personal. Each with a different solution. The last swore up and down that it was a bad Apple A/V Cable. This made no sense since the s-Video also put out black in white.
Finially, I was able to show the problem to the Genius at the local Apple Store who confirmed the iPOD had a defective video out chip.
SOLUTION: IPod had to be replaced.
WARNING; since the IPod was replaced, I no longer had the laser engraving. You may be able to ship an laser engraved iPod to Apple, but I'm not sure if they will promise to return the personilized iPod so consider carefully your choices.
Otherwise, I love the iPod, looking forward to what iPhone is going to do.

NEWB question - How do I make my video Black and white?

I've poked around the manual, google, and the forums. I'm sure the answer is MORE than obvious, but at this time....i cannot figure it out.
How do i get to a settings/coolor bar with sliders that will allow me to make video B&W, control saturation and brightness?
Thanks guys!

GOOD NEWS! Thanks to you guys, I figured it out. Within the 3-way color corrector here is what I did (for future searchers):
- Go the effects tab.
- Go to Video Filters> Color Correction> 3-way color corrector.
- Click and drag the filter on the the clip in the time line.
- Now double-click the clip you just dragged the filter on to, this should be it up in the viewer up top.
- No, click on the 3-way color correction tab.
- You will see 3 color wheels. Ignore them for now and notice the slider underneath them, "Saturation" or "Sat". Take this slide and move it to the very left.
You now have black and white video.

Why is imported video black and white

When I imported a video into Motion 5 it appeared in color in the layers list, but black and white on the canvas.

Did you change the channels settings to red, green or blue?

Half Black and White half Color Video

Is there a way to take a full color video and make half of the video black and white and the other half full color? For instance imagine a line down the center of the video, on the left the video is black and white, on the right side it's full color. Taking that concept if an object or person moves from the left to the right side of the screen, thus crossing that invisible line they automatically switch from black and white to color.
Almost like a video mask overlay.. How would I accomplish this in FCP? I have FCPS not FCPX

Why would duplicating the video onto a track above mess up the sync?
What you need to do is edit your piece first, once EVERYTHING is where it should be, THEN do the effects...
unlink your audio (shift-L), select all of your video clips, shift-option click and drag up. Select one of your clips, apply the desaturate or channel mixer effect and the crop... Now, if you do not have any other filters already applied to your clips, select your clip and press command-c to copy. select the rest of the clips that will be destaurated/cropped and right click, select paste attributes. Select filters and Crop, and viola... Tell me where the loss of sync is?
Make sure to press shift-L again so that your audio & video is linked.

How to make a movie half black and white and half color

Almost like a video mask overlay.. Is that possible in iMovie?

When I do that it only makes a short portion (the top video) color somehow it shortens the clip to 2 seconds, I tried to edit for the full 47 second clip (just a sample to play with) but it keeps going back to 2 seconds for the top video.
Any other ideas? I do have Final Cut Pro as well as Adobe After Effects as well, but I just figured iMovie would be easiest way to do this simple effect...

Going black and white

I have 2 questions.
1: how can I make part of my video black and white?
2: a little more advanced than the first question, how can I make most of a scene black and white whilst keeping one or two characters/objects in color?

Anyone else has an idea?
The subject has been discussed here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2136106&start=60&tstart=0 and apparently the problem is fixed with OS 10.6.3.
But I'm using 10.5.8! Thanks.

Video out black and white?

ok i just got the apple cables for the ipod..
when i plug it in the tv it shows it in black and white?
i use the video plugs red to red white to white and green to yellow thats the only one that works for video..
is it the cable or the video from my i ipod touch?
thanks

So your TV only has three plugs and you tried to plug in the rest of the video. See if your TV has more plugs like three videos and two audios. What you tried to do is plug a component cable into a composite jack which doesn't work. I think you bought the wrong cables. You need the composite. The ones you have is for an HDTV

Video camera - Need to shoot in Black and White

We need to shoot video in black and white, We have tried to shoot in night mode. But the result is the colors being brighter and not lighter. We need to do video coding with these so the colors being too bright is not working out. any imput on a video camera that will shoot in black and white and has an SD card slot?

I have internal memory on some of my cameras and I NEVER use it. It's faster and cheaper to use a USB reader. Why run down your batteries and go looking for a cable.

You might even find cheaper SD memory elsewhere. My local computer dealer is selling 16gb for under $10!
With the $100 savings you can spend it on a second battery. Then again, consider spending it on an extended battery so you can record more than 30 minutes. Unless you plan to use the camera connected to the wall at all times.

Video drivers issue (dual DVI monitors off bay :: one black and white and one color)

Hello,
I have tried everything to try to make these two monitors color. They are both relatively new Dell monitors. Both are DVI, both are connected to the latest Lenovo bay for my T430 laptop. Both worked fine after I initially installed both video drivers (Intel HD Graphics Driver for Windows 7 [64-bit]) and NVIDIA Optimus Display Driver for Windows 7 [64-bit]). Then out of nowhere one of them (Dell 1) decides it wants to be seen in black and white! I initially thought it was the monitor itself, but when swapping monitors (Dell 1, Dell 2) the other monitor (Dell 2) went black and white when plugged into the DVI formerly used by the Dell 1 monitor. Ok, so now it must be the DVI ports on the bay station (Lenovo) right? Nope. I had a tech bring me a second, brand new bay (identical). Same issue! So this leads me to the video drivers...
Does anyone have any idea. I disabled each driver and reenabled each to no avail. The drivers are the latest drivers downloaded directly from Lenovo's site. Checked the driver settings/monitor setting using both Windows 7 Professional and Nvidia to see if anything stood out. Nothing.
Any help would certainly be appreciated. Thank you in advance! :~)

I got a new laptop and when I plugged it into my docking station the external monitors were all in black & white. My old computer still worked fine without changing any settings on the monitors. I found that I needed to go into Control Panel \ NVidia Control Panel \ Display \ Adjust Desktop Color Settings, then select the monitor I wanted to adjust, then set the slider up for Digital Vibrance. For some reason on the new laptop the NVidia settings defaulted to 0 for this.

Mini DV to Video only shows in black and white

I bought a mini dv to video from an apple shop so that i could watch films on my tv. I connected it to my tv at home and it worked perfectly, but when i try to connect it to my parents tv it only shows in black and white... both tvs are of roughly the same age...I'm connecting the yellow wire to the scart on the back of the tv to the yellow socket on the adapter
how come it works on one tv and not the other one?

When you press the INPUT button on the remote to cycle through the inputs, is "ColorStream HD" listed? Is "Video" listed?
The Xbox is connected using 5 cables, correct? Red, blue, green, white, and red?
