Black flash after transitions

Using iMovie 6, sometimes there is a black flash at the end of a transition (working with photos). Doesn't happen on every transition and doesn't happen all the time. I work in an elementary school computer lab and it happens randomly on all 30 computers. (iMacs 10.5.8) I just put together a movie with about 30 photos using the same transition (cross dissolve) between each one and it flashes on about half of them. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem but with white flashes. Somebody on this forum helped me solve it...
First remove the affected transition. Then highlight a different clip (not the beginning or ending clip betweeen which you want the transition). Then drag the desired transition from the pane between the two clips. The transition re-renders and most times this clears up the offending white or black flashes.
But then it stopped being a problem for some reason - maybe the last update of version 6?

Quick flashes after transitions

I am halfway through a 45 minute slideshow and I noticed that in a couple sections of the slideshow there is a quick flash of black screen (I think it's black) at the beginning of the next picture. I've tried taking out the transitions, but the flash remains. I've cleared then reimported the pictures, but no good.
Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of these annoying flashes? As it is, it makes the whole project pretty much useless.
Thanks.

Some of my imported images have quick black flashes while they play. This is before the transitions are even added. I have updated, restarted, emptied trash, prayed and none of it is working; not even close. Any suggestions out there?

Black flash appears after transistion

Sorry if this has been covered, but I can't find anything on the forum. I have a problem with slides that flash black for a split second after a transistion. I have removed the transition and played the section and there is no flash on the photo or the slide before it. I then add any transistion to that slide and right after the transition is replaced, there is a flash of black. Now I used to get this when there were a lot of editing artifacts left over (little tiny spaces between slides or a sliver of a former slide left tucked in) but these are new slides being plopped into a fresh timeline. Replacing the slide in that particular spot does not fix the problem, as the flash will appear with the new image as well. I have trashed the entire project and started over and made it to another place in the new timeline, only to have it appear again with a different pair of images with transition. Once it appears, there doesn't seem to be any way to get rid of it to use a transistion of any type. Any ideas what may be causing this problem? It also embeds itself if I save it to QT or DV, the blink of black appears when it is converted to other formats (such as Youtube).

That may be a clue, as when this happened before on another project, I had a clip created on MOV for titling at the beginning, then about 20-40 seconds into the slide show, the 4th or 5th slide would always have that black blip in it. Once I dumped that project and started over with all the same slides and transitions (plus the MOV of the opening title, I didn't have that black flash. Mystery eh?

Why do I have black flashes in some crossover fade transitions

I made a video using a song and beat markers and photographs. There are about 30 photographs in 14 seconds of song. I used crossover fade transitions between every pair of photographs (replacing fade to black transitions) and when I play the video there are black flashes of very short duration between some of the photographs (four of them I think). Why would that happen and what can I do to get rid of them?

If you are ripping "standard" format content (4x3 ratio) then it will just appear like that on a widescreen TV. You shouldn't have that problem if you're ripping widescreen content (16x9 ratio).

Flashing after adding transitions

Has anyone experienced flashing after adding transitions especially using cross fades. It does not matter what length the effect is. It is frustrating and unacceptable. I have not received one answer in the past. Ever since I added ILife 06 this is is started. Maybe I should get rid of the Ilife update?

I have had the same thing happen. I dont know why but I have solved it two ways - save, quit and reopen. If that doesnt work delete the transition and replace it.

Black flash in iMovie template

I'm using iMovie 10.0.3. I'm using the Retro template to make a video. Near the end of the template, there is a millisecond of black video that I can't seem to get rid of. It flashes between two "Title" clips. I placed an iMovie "Transition" clip between the two "Title" clips... didn't work. Black flash still there. I've changed the length of the title clips... didn't work. Black flash still there. Any ideas how to get rid of the black flash? There must be a simple answer... or perhaps not.
Thank you.

QTpro is able to convert some flash files into .dv... but most people are not satisfied by quality....
some bravehearted simply use screen recorders as SnapzPro to "film" any flash playing on screen..........

GTX670 - Signal lost/black screen after windows loading icon

Hello,
I hope I am posting this in the correct forum area. If not I do apologize.
Here are my specs:
Board: MSI Z97-G45 Gaming
Bios: ?? whatever pre-installed on mobo
VGA: MSI GTX670 OC
PSU: Corsair HX750 750W
Intel Core i7-4790K
MEM: 12 GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 2x 4GB, 2x 2GB sticks
HDD: SSD Kingston 120 GB (Win7), HDD 1 TB WD 7200 RPM (Win7), HDD 1.5 TB WD 7200 RPM (storage)
COOLER: Corsair Hydro Series H60 Water Cooler
OC: no overclocking done by me..default settings
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
So to keep this as direct and as short as humanly possible here is my situation.
Had a gtx670 card that I had to send back to MSI under RMA. They sent me what looks like a new gtx670 card (no dust) that I received yesterday (4 Aug). Last night I removed temporary old card (9800gt) and plugged in new 670gtx. Things seemed to be ok, reinstalled driver after card was recognized. Played one round of Battlefield 4 for testing purposes and all seemed good.
Upon exiting the game things went south in a hurry. Moving the mouse cursor around was extremely slow and choppy. Mouse clicks were not recognized. I could not bring up ctrl-alt-del to get to task manager. At this point the cursor turned to spinning circle as if things were happening. However, after 5+ minutes of nothing changing I did a hard boot.
Restarted and after the windows loading screen the signal appeared to be lost to the monitor and I was left with black screen. This was with the SSD. I then attempted to load into the HDD windows OS that I hadn't logged into yet with this card and was greeted with the same issue.
I can load into Safe Mode with no issues. In safe mode I removed all nvidia drivers and was then able to load into windows normally using basic windows vga drivers. The moment I load the Nvidia drivers and restart the computer I then have the issue again. This happens with both drives.
I have reset the video card in the PCI-Ex16 slot and still received the problem. I have tried a different PCI-Ex16 slot and still had the issue. I put the old 9800gt card back in and windows loaded perfectly and without issues on both drives. I put the 670gt in and try to load into normal windows and I lose signal and get black screen after the windows loading screen.
I'm at a loss at the moment. I think it's the drivers, but could it be the card?
Doing some research I've come across some people saying there may be issues with the nvidia HD audio drivers that are installed with the video drivers. Could it be as simple as uninstalling or unchecking that particular driver?

Flashed the BIOS last night to the latest version and attempted to launch windows with the GTX670 card. I still experienced the same issue where as soon as windows finishes it's loading animation (with Nvidia drivers) and it goes to the login screen, the monitors cut out.
At this point I feel like it has to be the card. The moment I install the video drivers and restart, I have the problem of losing the signal/black screen.
What I have done:
1) Completely wiped any/all video related drivers from the computer and started from scratch. No success.
2) Ran Memtestx86 to see if it's a problem with my memory sticks. No problems found.
3) Put the card in a different PCI-Ex16 slot to see if there was a problem with the slot. No success.
4) Flash updated the BIOS on the motherboard to the latest version. No success.
I have a dual boot computer with Windows 7 64-bit installed on an SSD and a HDD. The problem happens on both drives. Yet, the moment I install my old 9800GT the problem disappears and I can login to Windows just fine.
I will be sending the card back today on another RMA.

Premiere Pro CS6 error - black flashes on frames - Basic 3D bug?

I am currently working on a lyric music video which incorporates video and still image backgrounds with lyrics superimposed over the top in time to the music. I'm adding the lyrics by creating images with the words in Photoshop and then animating them (scrolling, spins, wipes, etc) in Premiere. All was going well until I tried a recent render and noitced that some effects were showing flashes of black on screen during text movement (flips or twists seem to be the culprit). I figured it was a render error but after trying a few different output methods and not curing the problem I realised I was getting the issue on the timeline when scrubbing through frame by frame. I've attached some images to demonstrate the problem. If I open an earlier saved version of the project then effect is fine on render and on scrubbing through the timeline. Have my later saved project files got corrupted at some point? If it was a software or hardware issue I would have expected it to have been happening from the outset but this effect has been fine until now. Is it fixable or do I have to go back a few versions and redo my recent work?
Ok I've just realised while grabbing the attached images that the black frames appear to be occurring on the first frame of each new text still image - I don't know if that helps with identifying the problem?
Ok another update - it appears to be the Basic 3D video effect that is causing the problem - if I remove that and have the text just appear then the black flashes go. But as I said above it worked fine in earlier project versions so it can work and isn't an inherent fault so I really hope I can find a solution and not have to remove the effect.
Really hoping someone can solve this for me, it's only a hobby video not a job but I've put a lot of hours in and am nearly finished so would be pretty bummed if I can't resolve the problem.
Thanks :-)

An update - this is definitely looking like a bug!
Each of the words is a separate Photoshop image cropped to the size of the word and I have then used the Basic 3D effect to rotate each image in turn from -90 degrees to 0 degrees so it appears on screen. Yesterday I tried changing the settings for the first clip and the black square disappeared if I reduced the range to -63 degrees to 0 degrees.
Success! Or so i thought. I moved the the next image and changed the range to -63 degreees to 0 degrees but the black square remained. In face I had to reduce the start rotation down to -58 degrees before the black square disappeared from that image. This progression continued with each subsequent clip needing a futher reduction the starting rotation so by the time I got to the last image I the start rotation had to come down from -90 degrees to around -20 degrees.
Defintely a bug? (It works the same whether I was using negative or positive start angles btw).
I'll try using a different file format for the word images in case it's an issue with Photoshop image

OpenGL graphic flash after using side volume buttons

I'm working on an OpenGL game based on the Crashlanding framework in Apple's code examples. I'm experiencing a one frame flash if you use the side volume controls during the game and Apple's graphic feedback overlays on top of the game view. Everything is fine when the overlay is up and begins to fade out but for 1/30th of a second after the fadeout concludes the screen appears to flash black. After further review what is happening is that the underlying game image is being cropped by the bounding rectangle of the OS-generated volume overlay. Anybody have a clue what is causing this and what I can do to prevent it?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

MSI R9 270X - Black Screen after Win7 logo

Hello there.
About a week ago I upgraded my PC, buying several components and putting it to work. Here's the specs.
Main Board: M5A97 EVO R2.0
Bios Version: Latest
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X TwinFrozr OC Edition 2Gb
PSU: Don't know
12v rail Rating of listed PSU:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0Ggz BE SkAM3+
Memory: 8Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600Mhz
SSD/ HDD: Western Digital WD10EZRX-00A8LB0 1TB
CPU COOLER: The one that came with the CPU
Raid Card: Onboard
Sound Card: Onboard
OC: (Yes / No) Don't know
Operating System: Win 7 SP 1 64
So, it worked just fine for about 3 days. Last Saturday night I tried to open Google Chrome after some gaming and the the system froze. I got a screen with vertical black and white stripes. I had to reboot the system and it gave me a black screen, crashing again, after the Win Logo at start up. At this time I was running either 14.7 or 14.9 ATI drivers.
I could only start the PC on Safe Mode. Removing the drivers and getting Windows general VGA card settings would allow me to use Windows in normal mode though. Once I installed the Graphic Card's drivers it crashed on reboot, always with the black screen after Win logo. I installed several ATI drivers, namelly 14.9, 14.11 beta, 13.12... and nothing worked.
I flashed the Mother Board BIOS to the latest version, formatted the HDD doing a fresh install of Win 7, installed Catalyst first and then the drivers, the drivers without catalyst, etc. and nothing worked, always getting a black sreen on reboot once the Graphic Card's drivers were installed. I even swapped the Graphic Card to a different slot to no avail.
Right now I'm using my old Radeon HD 5670 with the latest drivers and everything works just fine. It even works fine if I keep both Graphic Cards installed with the monitor plugged to the older card. I find this odd since to do so, Windows loads both cards drivers with no errors. But once I switch to the new card everything goes black.
Can someone help me out? I've tried to contact my vendor's technical support through mail but they're not answering. I fear that I'll have to report it as DOA and swap it out, which will take quite some time taking into consideration the way things tend to work around here.
EDIT - I don't have a 2nd system to test it on.

Nope. Not driver issue at all. I tested at least 3 different drivers, all with the same result. Besides, I used both Driver Fusion and Driver Cleaner and CClean to remove any non-deleted registry entries. Always got the same problem. Went as far as formating the drive and doing a clean Win install. The problem persisted.
Tried installing drivers without Catalyst to no avail. Tried installing Cataltst first and then the drivers. Nothing. It always crashed omce the drivers were installed.

Black frames in transitions

Got a sequence of a few Ken Burns photos that I've linked with cross-dissolve transitions. Now I get the odd completely black frame at the end of the transitions. Most annoying. Is there a way to edit them out?

There was also a thread about black flashes and white flashes with transitions. I had that problem once and had to delete the transition, play the end of the preceding clip and the beginning of the following clip to see if I could find a white frame to delete. I had to play the clips frame by frame.
Apparently it happens more with Cross-Dissolve.

Black flashing behind icon on dock

Hi,
Recently, active icons on my dock (i.e. applications I am using) have been intermittently having a black flashing shadow behind the icon itself. Is this a virus?
I always shut down my computer after use versus just letting it sleep.
Any help would be appreciated!

Do you mean the Applications icon on the right side of the dock?
It is the icons for your applications and they are stacked on top of each other.
The top icon will be the first app in your Applications folder and under that will be the next app in the Applications folder etc.
Depending on the size of the icons, you may see 3 or 4 icons on top of each other.
Here is mine.
The first few apps are 1Password, 1Password4, Adobe Reader and this shows those icons.

I'll keep looking for the problems

Hi Hans
Thanks for the answer! but I fail to see how this help me in the current situation.
I've managed to narrow the probleme to the flash itself by doing a small but usefull test.... After having disabled everything but the part require for the flash to work ( and the script to show/hide it ) i've added an image just above the flash itself. I've put that image in the same cell of the same tabloid of the same Div, so the image is just before the flash. I try to run in firefox and i discovered that the image will appear the right way, and that the flash ( below the picture ) will make his strange white ( now it is white ? ? ! ) flash before appearing. however that strange white flash didn't touch the image itself.. So something in the flash code must be wrong.
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

That's the code of the flash with the test image above it...
What is wrong with my code here please ? i don't understand,
As for the FLA/SWF itself, the background inside the flash is white and since you cannot remove the background in flash, i had to do it in Html here with the Embed.
i can't find my mistake.

Black flashes on HD Freeview TV

Copy of Digital Spy Forum entry from me...
My Toshiba Regza 37RV753B is just under a year old. It worked well using my Humax Foxsat Freesat HD PVR, via HDMI port1. However once my local Freeview was upgraded to HD and I retuned to include the HD channels, I got the black flashes, usually just after a major scene change. I went to Toshiba's website and downloaded the firmware upgrade for this model. The upgrade is a self extracting zip file, so run it to self extract to a USB Flash drive (ignore the comment about FAT32 formatting, it works fine). Then plug the drive into USB1 on the TV. All very easy, but takes a while. On my set this seems to have solved the problem.
