Black Background Title Screen

I am trying to create a black background title screen (with white titles). Suggestions on this board have indicated that I could drag the title bar before the clip begins and that the default color would be black (i.e., solving my problem). I have not been able to drag the title before to an area before the clip begins. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, I figured it out.

JAI - Saved image has black background (unless screen config is True Color)

Hi!
I'm trying to save images using JAI's codecs. Everything is okay if screen config is True Color, but if in 256 colors (or even in 65536 colors) the background of my images looks very dark...
Can you please have a look at the code bellow (and try it with some different screen configs). I'm really stuck with that issue; any suggestion may help...
NOTE:
- I've noticed this problem when using JAI's jpeg codec.
- The problem occurs with both JDK 1.3 and 1.4.
- The problem does not occur (only) if screen config is True Color.
- You must rerun the code after changing screen config.
Thanks for help...

When I create an album and then try to watch it in slideshow, I get only a black screen with a white title. No photos come up. Also when I click on an individual photo in the album, I get a white exclamation point on a black background but no big photo.

When I create an album of photos and then open the album and try to watch it by selecting "slideshow" I get only a black screen. The white title comes up briefly but then no photos, only a black screen. Also when I go back to the album and click on a thumbnail, up comes a big white exclamation point on a black background instead of the enlarged photo. Any idea what's going on?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Upgraded to Mavericks now iTunes screen is a negative. Background is black and titles etc. are white. How do I reverse it?

Upgraded to Mavericks now iTunes screen is a negative. Background is black and titles etc. are white. How do I reverse it?

Hello Tarpon471,
It sounds like your desktop is otherwise colored normally, but the colors in iTunes are inverted. I was thinking it is possible that a 3rd party plugin may be causing an issue with iTunes since the upgrade to Mavericks.

When I add a title it has a nontransparent black background. How could I fix that?

I have added a few titles on separate tracks over one video footage. They all turned to be be nontransparent and have a black background, so the video is not visible. I don't understand what's going on...Could somebody help please?

OK.
Post a screen shot of your sequence.

When I go into bookmarks and click on a site, the screen shows what appears to be a compass with a lock overlay, on a black background. At the bottom the address/url are shown. Theses cannot be opened. Other bookmarks have the black background and compass, but no lock. These can be opened by clicking on the compass. What is wrong?

Thanks to the-edmeister and cor-el, for speed of response. I had not inadvertently moved the Bookmarks-Toolbar : I was confronted with the situation right after Firefox 9 had installed and unfolded in front of me. At first, the toolbar area looked reassuringly familiar, but when I started normal work, I discovered the lack of tabs and the only reference I could see to TABS was a tiny button inviting me to group tabs (which was unhelpful to say the least, filling up the screen with tiny unreadable windows). Sure, there were tabs forming, but they were invisible, unless I used the group button. Eventually, I was brave enough to use "reset toolbars" and the tabs came back in the way I want them, but it was a traumatic 2-3 hours out of my life. I kept on "adding a new toolbar" to see if I could make use of it; I kept giving them names, but it is impossible to see where the new tool bar is! (the toolbars don't have a little bit to grab at one end). In my opinion, Firefox should not have allowed the Tab Bar and the Bookmarks Toolbar to become caught up with each other - they have completely different functions. I don't think I would like to play around with "Make a new profile"! I was so desperate that I have already downloaded version 3.6 again, ready to install, for if I was unable to resolve the version 9 problems above.

My I Phone 5 Screen shows bright white apple logo on black background continuously

My I - Phone 5 is continuously showing white apple logo on black background. It started this morning after my phone was charging overnight.

Try a hard restart, hold down the HOME button and the SCREEN LOCK button simultaneously until the screen turns off and release only when the Apple logo reappears.

I want the black background in full-screen

I liked the old black background in full-screen option in Pages. Is there a way to get that back?

HT1343 What is the command to turn my screen from a positive white background to a negative black background

What is the command to change my screen from a positive (white background) to a negative (black background) Is the command the same for
mac book as it is for the imac?

Option-Control-Command-8, or the setting on the Display pane of the Universal Access system preference. It's the same for all computers running Snow Leopard.

Black background of title turns color when adding fairy dust effect

I have iMovie HD 5. I created a title using the animated gradient effect with orange font color and with the "over black" box checked. i then went to add an effect to the title clip, the "fairy dust" effect. After the effect is applied, the black background changed to the orange font color. In the previews, the background remained black when I added the effect. What can I do? Thank you

Black title screen not large enough to cover video: see edges of underlying video

Hello users,
I am trying to use black title screens to display names of songs which are to appear for 5 seconds before fading and then showing the performer.
I have the title screen on the track 2, above the video on track 1.
I can see a very slight but noticable edge of the video all around the title screen. I see this on my Sony pro production monitor and on my Plasma TV.
How can I eliminate that? I thiought I could just enlarge the title screen but I see no way to do that.
Insights appreciated!
I'm on CS 6.03 and Windows.

I see now, the little window that pops when doing "new, title" let's you specify the title size. Why can't we just be able to change that in the properties at the right? What if you have already created a slew of titles?

Black and White and Title screens don't save

Hi,
i have a problem with Premiere Pro CS3.
I am currently editing a color film and have applied the black and white effect to most of the scenes. At a certain point the program seems to have no capacity for that effect anymore. Half of the film stays black and white when saving, closing the program and opening the file again, but the other half is still displayed in color. I checked the effects of those scenes. the black and white effect is still applied, but it doesn't work, the scene is displayed in color.
Furthermore some Title screens get lost after a save. They show the "media offline" picture. When double clicking them, the correct title window is displayed, but it is not correctly shown in the film.
I tried to save other stuff like shortening the film and it works fine.
Can you help me? What went wrong? What do I do wrong?
Greets,

hmm interesting
i tried to import the project into a new project. what happend is the following:
i had a new folder in the project window (maybe what you call PP. i don't know, because i have got the german version). that folder contains whole film from the other project called "Sequenz 01" and all the other root files. the interesting thing is: after importing the project, i see it with an applied black and white effect and also all the title screens are inserted and shown correctly.
problem solved ..... i thought.
saving the new project results into the same problem as before. when re-opening the project part of the film (only the last couple of scenes) is in color again and the title screens don't now their root.
note: i tried to export the film and see whether the exported .avi or .mpg is also erroneous. sadly, thats the case
i don't think its a machine-level error, because i tried it on three machines already.
all machines had vista, intel core 2 duo 2400mhz, graphics intel q965/963 express chipset family
what do you mean by "input/output setup"?

Screen stuck on Grey apple on black background with backlight permanently on, no LCI

I would be really grateful for some help in mending my 15 month old iphone 4S please!
I had never had any problems with the phone until last week. It had been at around 80% battery and, on picking it up, I was surprised to see that the screen was black and that it appeared to be off. It looked like it had run out of battery so I plugged it in to recharge.
On charging, the screen just shows a black background and grey apple and the backlight is permanently on. So I have tried/checked 3 things:
1) I have tried pressing home and power and then home, but the same screen returns.
2) I have plugged it into itunes for a restore/recovery. I thought it was going to work as the itunes connection picture appeared on the phone. Itunes then went through its restore process but at the end it came up with error 4005. 'The phone could not be restored. An unknown error occurred.' I do have the latest itunes installed and am at a loss as to know what to do next.
3) I have looked to see if water has got in but the Liquid Contact Indicator is not on.
If anyone has any ideas on how to go forward, I would be very grateful!
Kind regards and thanks
Shirley

Removing black background-(looking for transparency on title stuff)

final cut studio Guru's....specifically "live type" pro's.
Tried everything in the manual & more...still, no do workee.

I'm about to scream outa' my window...for my neighbor's sake, a little help?

OC, explain a bit more- because what David explained
is correct. If you export from livetype without
rendering the background, then the background is
actually transparent.
My assumption here is that after you do this, you are
watching the quicktime file that pops up in live type
after it renders- and it has a black background.
This is normal, but actually transparency is there.
Import the QT file into final cut and throw it on a
v2 track above another video image. You will notice
that there actually is a transparent background in
FCP...
If you have already done this and you are still
seeing black, my next question would be what format
are you editing in? DV?
good morning geniuses......
Rocky Rococo at your cervix...THAT WAS IT! I am the "slime"

THANK YOU to all of you who took the time to respond this
early A.M....David & eventually ENZO helped me pull my head out... here in the O.C. (but to all who responded...may th' good lord take a likin' to ya'....)
I'll never make this particular mistake again...why? when there's so many more to gnash my teeth about...
