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?

Black flashes appear every 2 seconds after exporting from final cut pro

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8jJNnk4s3g here is my video as an example of what is happening. It only shows up after exporting and on the original AVI footage, and not my outro footage which was a .mov.
Please can somebody help me figure out what is wrong with it as it is happening with every video I try to make using the AVI filed my camcorder records in.

AVI is not a supported wrapper in FCP (and who knows what's the codec)
You probably should convert the material to an natively editable format before you bring it in to FCP. Mpeg Streamclip is a good app for this purpose. What format you convert to depends on the size and framerate of the original media.

Interactive pdf has random black boxes appearing after video slides

I am using indesign cs6 and I have a document that is 52 pages long with images, text and vidoes that are flv files. I export the doc as an interactive pdf. I open the doc in Acrobat and it plays fine. The only issue is that after a video slide, A random black box, the same size as teh video element is appearing on the slide after the video.
Right in the middle. As if I have left the video element on the same slide.
Not sure if this is a ram issue or something I am missing. I have checked the slides after the videos and the elements are fine.
Please help. Thank you all.

It's a long-time bug, doubt it'll ever be fixed. You can use Acrobat to change the annotation properties to 'disable when' = page is not visible, so the Flash Player instance is unloaded from the display stack - that usually helps. InDesign doesn't let you control that parameter.

Black outline appeared after accidental button mashing.

After accidentally button mashing my keyboard a black outline now appears over anything that pressing "tab" and anything I type in or click on. It happens all over the computer not just Safari, also while scrolling it does not stay with the typing box it says in the same place on screen. While trying to fix it my Apple Menu now has the following options -Force Quit... -Force Quit Safari -Restart... -Restart -Shut Down... -Shut Down -Log Out __... -Log Out __. Also Under Safari and File -Private Browsing... -Private Browsing -Close Window -Close Window -Close All Windows -Close All Windows.
Im sure it can be turned off but how?

You've turned Voice Over on. Command F5 will turn it off. (Or open the System Preferences and look for the Accessibility tab - last in the third row I think)

Black screen appears after exporting to Quicktime movie

I'm having trouble exporting a time-lapse video to a QT movie. The screen is always black when I try to watch the finished product. Here's what I'm doing:
I import the jpeg files into QT 7 Pro using "Open Image Sequence." At this point I'm able to watch the video in QT. Now I want to export it to a QT movie so I can import that file into iMovie. From "File," I choose "Export>Movie to QuickTime Movie." I check the Options button to view the Settings and Size. Settings show compression is Apple Intermediate Codec, with Frame Rate set to "Current." Size is HD 1280 x 720, with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" box checked. I give the file a name, hit "Save" and it begins to export.
When that's done, I go to my desktop and click on the newly created movie file, which opens in QT version 10.1. However, the movie shows up as a black screen.
Can anyone spot the error in what I'm doing? It's got to be something simple. I've created a time-lapse using these steps (I think) before, so I don't think there's a bug in the program anywhere. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Btw...My OS is 10.7.4. I'm also not trying to create a movie with an audio component -- this is only video.

Not exactly an error, but I do have a question. If you are sourcing JPEG images to an image sequence file which creates a QT Photo JPEG compression file which is already import/edit compatible with iMovie and currently plays in the QT 7 Player correctly without a "black screen" problem, why are you exporting the data to the AIC compression format instead of simply saving the Photo JPEG sequence file and importing it directly to iMovie?

Satellite P10: Black screen appears after 5min

Hi my name is colin, I have a Toshiba P10 laptop and I want to change my power settings ie.
My lap top blanks out after five mins if I do not use mouse but can't change settings because the panal is greyed out.
I use it for my karaoke but if a song is more than five min long blank screen. Tapping mouse pad restores it.
Can somebody please tell me what to do.
Thanks colin.

Hi Colin,
Sorry to hear that you still have the problem. My only suggestion now is that the Toshiba Power Management utility is not propwerly installed.
I presume that the system was re-installed after the new MB and HDD were fitted. Was this done from the recovery CDs or was it a Microsoft install CD ?
I would suggest removing the Toshiba Power Management utility from your notebook and then re-installing it (you can download it from the Toshiba web-site). Please make sure that you use the correct version (there are two) for your particular P10.
regards,

There is a frequent flashing above my tool bar and sometimes a flashing black box appears over my Yahoo news. How do I make it Stop??b

There is a bright flashing light over my tool bar and sometimes a flashing black box appears over the Yahoo news. I tried Reset Firefox and that didn't work. I then uninstalled and re-installed Firefox and I still have the seizure inducing flashing lights.
When I switch to Internet Explorer I do NOT have this problem. Please help me because I do not want to go back to IE.
Thanks

In case this is caused by Firefox 33 being incompatible with your graphics card/chipset driver software, could you test for a while in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions, hardware acceleration, and some other advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?
You can disable hardware acceleration for all modes in the Options dialog.
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This takes effect the next time you exit Firefox and start it up again.

Quick update, the duplicate of the comic-con episode downloaded succesfully, and so has the first episode of Supernatural season 8. Blue dots appear to their left in the library.
All the Vampire Diaries episodes (except the bonus comic-con double) have vanished, but I paid for them !
They're not anywhere on my harddrive either.
Which is new by the way, this is a new MacbookPro, literally set it up today.
So it would seem this is a case of purchased and pseudo-downloaded episodes that ended up beinge gobbled up by some iTunes black hole, leaving me with no money, and no episodes.
Need help, confirmed.

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?

Stupid transition bug... black square appears

Hello
I am not very experienced with flash at all... but I wanted to make a nice slide show swf file to go on a CD of images I am creating for someone. I figured out how to put them all in layers, do motion tweening on each after they'd been converted to symbols, brought the color>alpha to zero at frame one and brought it up or down at the right times to fade in and then out.
beautiful...
except it only works on the stage. I can press play and it looks great... but if I test movie or test scene, or even if I export the movie, it doesn't work at all.
As soon as the slides begin a mysterious black square appears. It seems to have something to do with the actual fading in or out. It's not a layer that wasn't set at alpha= 0... I checked and double checked them all. I can't see anything amiss.
I checked the tutorials I could find and nothing seems to be missing and yet, it isn't working so something must be wrong or done incorrectly. I don't understand why I can only see it on testing and not during playback

Same situation here. A workaround is to edit the photo change the filter, save the picture. Now the picture shows up normaly. Do you call the camera app from the lock screen or the home screen?
If I start the camera app from the home screen he problem doesn't appear.

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

Urgent - strange black flash on my website

Hello all
This is somewhat an urgent matter, the website just got published and this bug appear. Open FIREFOX and go to my webpage at www.episodesoft.com and just move the cursor in and out of the button menu. do it a couple of time.
You should get a full screen black flash of light each time.. Anyone know why ?
The transparency of the flash ( menu) is correct for both firefox and IE.. i don't understand.
The website work perfectly with IE, and Chrome. It is only a FF problems
Please feel free to look at the source.
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.

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.

What does this icon mean and why does a black battery appear behind it?

All of a sudden, since last night, an intermittently flashing black battery appears behind one of the menu bar icons. Unfortunately, I don't know what the original icon means! From right to left, I have the volume icon, the wireless connection strength icon, a telephone icon, (what I think is) an Ethernet icon, then this funny icon -- three horizontal black dots, with a thin vertical line and kind of an X running through them. (Can you tell I'm not a computer person? Anyway, can anyone interpret these signs for me? Inquiring minds would very much like to know, especially if something drastic is about to happen. TIA!

If you used Setup Assistant, Mac OS X 10.3: Setup Assistant migration may transfer portable-only menu items to a desktop computer may explain what is happening and how to fix it.

Flash appears to install on Win 7, IE 8but will not display

32 bit Windows 7
IE 8, 32 bit
FP 10.2.152.32
FP S/W installation windows indicate that FP installed (Download Manager also says so)
FP & Download Manager are both shown in Programs.
History: Few weeks ago system was severely corrupted even though had McAfee Viruscan and Webroot Spysweeper. It was indicated every time an attempt to look at a video was made wherepon the computer would shutdown a few seconds afterwards. Working w/ Dell Support they determined the system was too far corrupted to save (7000+ files corrupted!!). They suggested that it would be preferable to install W 7 to replace then current XP operating system. Had disk formatted and XP operating system re-installed but only sufficient to allow operation of email. When Windows 7 arrived fully installed along w/ new Word/Excel 2010 S/W. Retrieved backuped files successfully. Everything is operating OK except for FP. Every attempt to load (after repeated uninstalls) shows it to be "successful" but still won't allow videos to play.
Based on perusal of thread, opened register to check on "kill-bit", found no indication it was set.
What should I do next?

Hi, what a terrible experience to have to go thru! I hope you don't still have either one of those "Anti-Virus" programs on your system. If not, what Anti-Virus/Spyware program(s) do you have?
Yes it was terrible, but Dell (Solution Station, paid support) made this sickening experience bearable. Right now I have McAfee Total Protection 2011 for what it's worth (ya gotta have something) and I use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (free version) twice a day to scan. The only thing it finds repeatedly is something in the registry defined as : HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\...
So I can understand this, you now have Win7 on the computer? The backup files are from the XP that had the 7000 corrupted files?? When you reformatted XP, weren't those files lost? I guess what I need to know is how did those files get Installed onto the Win7 OS?
Here's the sequence of events: I back up periodically with a WD My Book Essentials external drive, assuring that the system is as clean as I can get it and otherwise operating normally. I don't do it continuously for fear that I could be backing up corrupted files right up to the point the disk crashes The back up that was used was about six weeks old. The 7000+ corrupted files were cleaned before reformatting but would have been lost regardless when the disk was reformatted. After it was reformatted and before installation of W7, the Dell reinstallation disk for XP was used. No backup files were loaded on this temporary XP system. When the W7 system was installed these backup files from the external drive were cleaned with Malwarebyes which found about 20 corrupted files. Since then only two have regularly appeared , they are in the registry defined as: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\regfile\shell\open\command\def...
Also why wasn't the malware cleaned before reformatting?
As indicated above, it was cleaned but never used again since it was all lost with the reformatting. The reinstalled software came from a six week old backup which has worked well and shows none of the malware, except for the few Malwarebytes intially found.
One other thing, I revisited the "kill-bit" procedure. While I didn't find what you indicated, I did find these two entries with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ :
      Name                        Type                    Data
"icon w/ab in it"             REG SZ            (value not set)
"icon w/ab in it"             REG SZ            application/x-shockwave-flash
Also, I was looking at your procedure in post #26, in response to jfirko where a vs 9 of FP is installed/uninstalled followed by the current version of FP. For my situation is this a worthwile approach?
By the way, thanks for your interest in solving these problems. So many programs now use the flash player but there are so few sources to turn to when problems occur.

FaceTime window does not appear after startup

After I startup FaceTime, the window for it does not appear, but the toolbar is available.
The options under 'Edit' and 'Video' are all greyed out, but the options under the 'FaceTime' tab are all available.
However, when I try to access 'Preferences' for FaceTime, a black screen appears. When I press the red button to close the Preferences window, FaceTime will automatically quit.
Help please!

Firefox does not have a run for .exe which is a good thing for security and common sense reasons.
After you download Firefox you go to where you save the file and run it.
