Black Flickering In Wipe Transition?

I have a few wipe transitions for a fading in and fading out effect of photos on the timeline. For some reason there's this weird black flicker taking place on some of them. An example would be that when a photo has a wipe (left to right) to fade in, there's a weird black bar, sometimes thin, sometimes taking up the entire screen scrolling over the screen as the wipe comes through. At other times there are weird thin black lines flashing somewhere on the screen as the wipe comes through. When I move the photos to a different track in the timeline it seems to give me a different black flicker in another spot. How can I fix this?

Which exact version of PP?
What OS?
List the sequence and image specifications.

Black flickering, freezing, kernel panics

Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me out. My 2009 13" MBP seems to be having some issues and I can't fingure out what's going on.
Every now and then, the lower half of the screen will flash black repeatedly. This has happened in Safari in full screen and in Sketchbook Pro. While in SBP, the image will usually disappear, replaced with grey. I can usually still save the image, quit the app and reload. If it happens in Safari, the flashing will happen breifly, then the image will sort of stutter and spit and go crazy. When this happens, I have to hard start my computer.
A sort of similar thing happens when I play StarCraft 2. Once the game starts, at random intervals, the game will freeze. Sometimes, this is preceded by the black flickering on the bottom half of the screen. Sometimes, it is not. I spoke with Blizzard about it and, after having me trouble shoot a few things, they determined that I was having kernel panics.
Since updating today to 10.8.3, the Sarai issue seems to have fixed itself (so far). I haven't tried SBP yet but StarCraft remains unplayable. I had a full on kernel panic while the game was updating, and then a system freeze when I tried to play them game. No log from the freeze but I have included the kernel log below.
Now, I did update both the HDD and the RAM not too long ago. I'm not certain if there is any relation but I bought PNY 8 GB (two 4 GB) 1333 MHz DDR3. It shows up in my "About This Mac" and I did a hardware test that confirmed the RAM is OK.
I've searched the forum and I don't know if anyone is having this issue but I'm hoping someone can help me. I'm outside the warrenty and I don't know what to do. I don't know how to read the kernel panic log.
Thanks

You're welcome - Macs are very picky about RAM, particularly the speed of the RAM. I'm surprised to learn that you 'got by' with no kp's for four months! Oh, and just as a buying suggestion... I would shop the Crucial, Corsair or OWC websites for RAM - they guarantee Mac compatibility. As a matter of fact, go to the Crucial site and click on the System Scanner tab and download the small app that will report back to Crucial your model and suggest a RAM upgrade path for you.
Good luck,

"Sliding Boxes" wipe transition in Premiere CS5 for Mac?

Hi, I have a fairly simple question. Can anyone verify that the wipe transition "sliding boxes" is available in Premiere CS5 for Mac? It wasn't in Premiere CS4 for Mac, it only featured in the Windows version....
Thanks!

Hi,
Just dit a check of the 'sliding boxes' in CS5.5, but didn't found it.
However do you know about the new plugins from FilmImpact.net?
These are great quality transitions for Premiere Pro CS5 & CS5.5.
They are freely available for Windows & Mac!
Cheers,
Jaap

HT5067 Wipe transition in Keynote lost when imported in iBooks Author

Unfortunately, the wipe transition is not working in iBooks Author. I have a Keynote presentation with shapes that appear using the wipe transition. However, when I import the presentation in iBooks Author and preview it in iBooks, the wipe effect is completely lost

Try exporting your book to .ibooks and load it via the iBooks App. You can then view it on your mac or sync it to your iPad. The transition might work by doing this. The normal preivew is not always reliable.
Also, try deleting the widget and re-import the Keynote Presentation again. I have noticed that sometimes it is a hit and miss for the Keynote presentation to be imported properly (using iBook Author 2.1.1).
Here is a link for all for the supported transitions and builds (information only):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5067?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Best of luck!

Strange ae black flickering problem

I have newest version of ae and I have pmw-ex1 camera. When I edit ex1 footage in ae I have this strange black flickering. Video goes black at random places and random time. I have a example footage to show what I´m talking about. It only affets video footage so I imagine that it might be a format issue. Doesn´t ae support mpeg4 footage from sonys ex1??
Here is the link for the footage:
http://download.yousendit.com/9C395B050F6DE63F
You can see the effect at the end of footage...
Any help??
Thanks

>You can see the effect at the end of footage...
Well, considering that this the third thread this week pertaining to this, it's obviously not that easy. In your case you are probably experiencing insufficient hardware support for footage decoding and playback (pretty much all MPEG stuff is handled by MediaCore which uses your graphics card for more performance). Does the issue occur on another system also? You could also try to temporarily remove the AE OpenGL pluin (C:/Program Files/Adobe/After Effects CS3/Support Files/Plug-Ins/Extensions) to free up resources and make AE use a different mode of operation also with the footage... what graphics card do you use?

MSI 680GTX crashing black flickering and more

Hello.
A couple of months ago i found a real good price on a MSI 680 GTX so i switched my 6870 x-fire setup to a single 680.
I ran a cleanersweeper in fail-safe mode and then installed the newest driver available.
Trying to run BF3 with the new setup became a nightmare!
Crashing after anywhere from 1 min to 15min became standard.
(Displaydriver crashing and recovering with "Directx function "getdeviceremovedreason" failed
DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG Device Hung due to badly formed commands.Gpu")
Running the game again after a crash the screen just went black.
But running other games like crysis and planetside 2 worked perfectly!
So I tried the simple solution of doing a clean installation and choose windows 8 as i wanted to try it.
The same thing as with windows 7 repeated itself over again.
Trying to run 3dMark 11 ends with a crash during the combined physx tests.
Stumbled upon some threads talking about LatencyMon and HPET timings (h*tp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Precision_Event_Timer)
I tried those programs to see if they could help me out. According to LatencyMon I had problems with audio and video and
the NVidia drivers (nvlddmkm and dxkrnl) as well as usbport.sys and ndis.sys was causing a disturbance so i tried upgrading
the drivers of the network card and my external audio card without improving.
So i tried changing to HPET and enabling it in the bios.
Now all of a sudden BF3 works! (Well thats what i thought anyway...)
This is when I tried running Metro 2033 with af4x dx11 high settings it ran fine, but as soon as i turn on advanced dof it starts to flicker all over
the screen.
But still had problems according to LatencyMon so I did another fresh installation, this time going back to Windows 7 64-bit pro version.
Changing to HPET timings again everything seemed to work. Now the timings looked alot better except for the usbport.
Trying Metro 2033 again and the same results as well as running BF3 gives me black lines flickering now and then.
Trying 3dMark 11 again and it crashes again with the same error again as with windows 8. I even tried running the new 3dMark with the same results.
"Workload work failed with error message:

But running other games like crysis and planetside 2 worked perfectly!
Some games need to be reinstalled if you changed the graphics card.
Also, in some cases if you switch from AMD/ATI to Nvidia, you need to reinstall the OS.
Not to mention that BF3 is a buggy game (design flaws).

Premiere Pro CC 2014 - Black flickering lines during playback and when exporting video

I am fairly new to Premiere and have recently started using creative cloud on my new MacBook Pro retina - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - OSX Version 10.9.4
I shot a music video using my friends camera and all the shots were absolutely fine, I dropped them into Premiere and started editing the video together.
Some of the clips are perfectly fine during playback, although sometimes my playback stutters a little, but some of the clips have strange horizontal lines that flash through them when I watch it back. I have only used basic things such as the highlight/shadow and sharpen tools in Premiere. I thought that it maybe fine once I exported the video but when I open up the exported file on my desktop in Quicktime the little black flashes/glitches are still there in some of the shots.
Here is a screenshot you can see a line halfway between the top of my head and the top of the screen, when you watch the video there are lots of these flashing about.
Could this be something that I have set up wrong?
CPU/GPU related?
Thanks,
Jordan

Hi there,
thanks for the reply!
GRAPHICS = NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
I tried that but it didn't work unfortunately, Mine was already set to the one you said, I tried the other but no change

Mac mini / HP w2007 black flickers

Hi,
I recently bought a new Mac mini and the Hp w2007 monitor to go with it. I use the DVI cable that came with the monitor to connect the two. My problem: every once in a while, the screen turns black for a second and then comes back on; and sometimes, these black flashes come rapidly one after the other so that I can only restart the computer. Has anyone had similar experiences, or might you have a suggestion for what the problem could be?
Many thanks to all,
Martin

I had similar problems while using my Mac Mini and it turned out to be the DVI cable itself. The problem manifested itself with both a PC and a Mac.
I would first try another cable if you can find one around before looking any further. Also, try making sure that it is firmly connected on both ends.

Black flickering screen after 10.6.3 update

Hi,
Am using a Samsung 22" SyncMaster monitor with my 2009 Mac Mini connected via VGA with resolution 1680 x 1050 at 60Hz and after 10.6.3 update the screen flickers allowing me to see the desktop for around 1-2 seconds. Its really annoying but the only way to get rid of it is if i change the resolution to 1600 x 1000 also at 60 Hz but everything is blurry!
I checked the monitor manual and its recommended resolution is 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz.
Does anyone else have this issue and is there a fix?!
Thank you.

Yes, I have the exact same problem.
I had this problem in 10.5.X as well. When I updated to Snow Leopard this went away. Now with 10.6.3 it is back again.
I worked around this problem in 10.5 by installing switchResX and playing around with the settings for the monitor... I haven't tried that in 10.6.3 yet.
I hope Apple fixes this soon. Being forced to use 3rd party software just to use the mac is unacceptable.

Black screen function messing transitions

SYSTEM PROFILE INFO:
running Tiger 10.4.4 and Keynote 2 on a 600Mhz dual USB iBook
PROBLEM: (Began having problems using Keyspan Presentation Remote after upgrading to KN2 and 10.4.4); when using the "black screen" keystroke feature in KN2 (I.e. command-b), the presentation would freeze when I returned to the presentation from the "black screen" mode. Behavior was NOT consistent. Sometimes it would simply be frozen on the last slide; other times it would start the next bullet animation, then suddenly stop the animation and then freeze. In any case, I cannot use the "black screen" feature without freezing my presentation.
I thought the problem was with the Keyspan Remote. Tried USB Overdrive software to fix; no results.
Then, I discovered that I have the exact problem using my iBook keyboard! Same problems resuming from "black screen" mode: freezing or partial bulleted text followed by freeze. Obviously, the problem is with either KN2 and my iBook (too slow? too old?) or something else.
I'd appreciate help as the "black screen" feature is HUGE to my teaching; it allows me to divert my students' gaze AWAY from the screen and back to me for a normal classroom atomosphere. It is one of the key benefits to me over PowerPoint.

Apparently, I have a serious problem, needs to be repaired by a professional. This computer has only been used a few times, but have had it since 11/15/2013. I am very disappointed in this product. Especially, since now it is needed. I will not by HP, off to look for a new computer

Mountain lion update = Black flickering screen + freeze :S

so i have a late 2009 mac mini and i decided id download mountain lion, about a day after the download every time i opened certain programs my screen would flicker black about 10 times really quickly and then my whole computer would freeze except for my mouse. Fixies please

Hello,
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

10.5.1 Mail crashes OS (black screen) then wipes Mail settings + mailboxes

So I dragged a PDF to the mail icon to start a new message, Mail creates new message body with PDF but then crashes the entire OS - press the on/off to reboot your system.
Then when the OS comes up again the entire Mail settings are wiped.
Okay so I do a restore from the archived Mail.
Spaghetti Mail results.
I've now got two sets of archived Mail (this is a new MacBook so I recently imported old Mails from the iBook) nested inside multiple folders... one set of the original iBook to MacBook import - and now a set of the MacBook mail with a set of the iBook to MacBook import inside it.
Problems I have with this: -
1. Mail crashed my MacBook in the first place
2. Mail forgot the mail settings even though the mailboxes are still in ~/me/library/mail
3. Mail double imported archived mail
4. Mail has no clear and easy way to merge old mail back into a new mail setup.
Now I'm going to resync from the IMAP mail servers to get my INBOXes back... so multiple multiple nests of spaghetti.
This is pretty unacceptable behaviour.
Solution: -
1. Mail should have a back up set of settings to "Clone" settings and mailboxes from an archive
2. Mail should be smart enough to know that the mailboxes in the users library/mail folder are not alien entities but the data it needs to work.
3. Mail should have a way to merge archives into the current set of live mail boxes - SENT especially important.
Now I'll be resyncing then dragging and dropping to try to get it to some normality.
Yes perhaps Time Machine is the answer - but that does not resolve the cloning of settings issue... nor help when moving from 10.4
Awful

Okay - so I've begun restoring the email accounts - I have 5 of them... and it seems to be recognising them and importing the mail from the existing set of mailboxes I'd imported already.
However there is still the issue of Mail recognising that those Mailboxes exist. It should know that they are there and offer to set up the accounts using these mail boxes as a basis.
Not very smart to do it the way it has been done - now I need to delete the archives I've just imported... but that scares me so perhaps I'll just live with them as they are...
Not very impressed with the recovery process.

Flickering black boxes on CS6 with Macbook Pro Intel Iris

I'm experiencing a flickering black box whenever using large brush sizes on Photoshop CS6 using a Macbook Pro (16GB RAM, 2.8 GHz i7, Intel Iris, Late 2013 13") similar to what is shown on: black flickering boxes on Vimeo. The issue stops if you: Preferences -> Performance -> Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor." I've contacted Apple Care multiple times and they say it is an Adobe issue. I've attempted uninstalling/reinstalling CS6, resetting NVRAM and SMC, and verified CS6 and System settings are all up-to-date. When booting in Safe Mode the issue is also resolved (as it appears Graphics Processor is disabled). There appears to have been a similar issue on the 2013 Macbook Air that Apple released a fix for (MacBook Air (Mid 2013) Software Update 1.0) but I do not see anything regarding the Macbook Pro line. Anyone experience/resolve this issue?

Professional engineers would look at the report, even if it happens in a single application, because usually that one application is just more commonly used and exposes an existing problem that is only occasionally seen in other applications. (hint: the OS and video card drivers draw the cursor, not the application, so the driver and OS are responsible for drawing glitches with the cursor)
And for us to write up a bug for Apple, we need a reproducible case - but we can't reproduce it on our systems. Apple needs information about your system to see what specific GPU/CPU configuration is affected by this driver bug (and they have all the hardware variants to try it on).
And we have been testing for similar issues since the MacBookAir cursor bugs appeared - but haven't seen any after Apple's patch, despite testing on all the systems we have available (which is quite a few, but we can't have every single possible Macintosh configuration).

Photoshop CS6: Screen flickers black when using brush tool on MBP 2013

I'm experiencing a flickering black box whenever using large brush sizes on Photoshop CS6 using a Macbook Pro (16GB RAM, 2.8 GHz i7, Intel Iris, Late 2013 13") similar to what is shown on: black flickering boxes on Vimeo. The issue stops if you: Preferences -> Performance -> Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" and restart the program or backrev to CS6 13.0.0 (or anything before 13.0.4).
I've attempted uninstalling/reinstalling CS6, resetting NVRAM and SMC, and verified the system is all up-to-date. When booting in Safe Mode the issue is also resolved (as it appears Graphics Processor is disabled).

Anyone experience/resolve this issue?
I've contacted Apple Care multiple times and they say it is an Adobe issue. And Adobe is insisting is a CPU/GPU driver issue just like the Macbook Air issue Apple already fixed.

You may be able to get a display driver update from the laptop manufacturer.
Unfortunately, if none of the workarounds is circumventing the problem for you, and there are no display driver updates that solve the problem, you may want to escalate it to the laptop maker. They in turn can push through a new display driver update. They should take responsibility for making your system work with modern, professional software.
