Black Screen from AE export to AME

Hi,
I have just started using AE CC and I was trying to output some videos but there was some bugs with the time using render queue but I had found the problem and fix it. But while solving this issue I found an odd problem with the Adobe Media Encoder CC. Everytime I click on export to Media Encoder it renders the video with no content just a black blank screen. The temp AE files it generates is fine no issues just the video file is blank. I tried a different animation that I had also created same problem. I got someone who knows AE and he tried using different codecs but its blank too. There is no problems with AE or the working file because I can render videos with no problems using the internal render queue, Its only media encoder having this odd issue.
I had tried updating Media Encoder to 7.01 even though its already 7.01 but still the same problem. How do I uninstall and reinstall? I have media encoder cs6 installed on my mac too. Will that cause any conflicts?
Currently I have these Adobe software installed - Adobe CS6 Design Premium (Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat Pro, Fireworks, Flash, Indesign, Dreamweaver - Full Liscene Version) and (Audition CS6, Edge Animate, Encore CS6, Premiere Pro CS6, Photoshop Light Room 5, After Effects CC - All Trial Versions).
I am using a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.5. All software up to date.

The format I had tried are H.264. In the AME preview its black too. How do you do a reinstall of After Effects CC? Will that affect my trial?
Go to the Applications/Adobe After Effects CC folder and double-click on the Uninstall Adobe After Effects CC shortcut. Reinstalling should not have an affect on your trial period, as long as you remain signed in to Creative Cloud on that computer.
Before doing that, though, please post a screenshot of 1) your AE comp, 2) the AME queue with that comp loaded, and 3) the Export Settings dialog for that comp.
You should also try resetting the preferences for both AE and AME. The top of this page has instructions for AE; I recommend deleting the files manually instead of using the keyboard shortcuts. AME's preferences files are in a similar location. Mind that the user Library folder is hidden on recent versions of Mac OS.  (After Effects CC is version 12.0, and AME CC is version 7.0.)
Another question is since I have CS6 and CC programs can I remove CS6 AME and streamline everything into AME CC? Since its a duplication of programs taking up disk space.
In order to properly remove AME CS6 you would need to remove all CS6 applications that reference it (in your case, Flash Pro CS6 and Premiere Pro CS6). Please note that you should always use the uninstaller applications; don't try to throw the applications in the trash, which will cause problems if you later need to reinstall.

  • 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?

  • MSI N750Ti TF 2GD5/OC, random black screen from hdmi output

    Hi,
    Bought a MSI N750Ti TF 2GD5/OC and connected it to two monitors. My main monitor is connected to the hdmi port, and the other to the DVI one. I get random black screens on my main monitor. They last about 3-4 seconds, and my secondary screen just runs on happily. Unfortunately the latter screen doesn't support hdmi, otherwise I'd simply switch the outputs to see if it's the monitor or the card. However, I do suspect the card because I can 'break' or trigger the black screen by manipulating the hdmi cable at the card's output.
    Anyway, is this a known issue or should I experiment a bit more? If it is know, what's a good solution?
    I did update my drivers, btw. 
    Cheers!

    what do you mean by this?
    That I only have one monitor with an hdmi input.

    have you tried different HDMI cable? or/and different display with HDMI?
    Will try a different cable, and see above.

  • Black screen from left to right then restart

    I have the latest ipad. After running for a few minutes the screen goes black from left to right. After about 30 secs the screen goes back to the apple logo and then the passcode. I updated to ios6, but it didn't help. I tried synching, but everytime it does the restart it looses its connection and can't be seen by itunes. Any ideas?

    Reset iPad and continue with Restore.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • Motion not exporting video, just a black screen

    I am creating some scrolling text in Motion and when I export the file I am using the same setting I always have. It is a quicktime movie and I am using the current project and canvas settings. I haven't changed anything but after a few times of exporting scrolling text it only shows a black screen in the exported file. The first few work fine. Any ideas?
    Thanks for your time.

    I've seen this problem off and on again for so long now I consider it a feature and not a bug. I have no idea what causes it as I've seen it happen with different versions of Motion, under different versions of the OS on different Macs.
    The solution for me is to export as an Animation file when this happens. Nothing else works from reinstalling to trashing the com.apple.motion.plist file.
    I've also never ever ever had a .motn file in FCP's timeline render as anything but pure black. Even trying it on different machines in different editing suites. It just doesn't work and never has for me.

  • Re-occuring Black Screen - HP Pavilion a6700F desktop

    We have an HP Pavilion a6700F desktop Vista that started getting a black screen - from what we can tell, it started when the Nvidia driver auto updated.  We then upgraded to Windows 7 and ran the latest HP Updates, hoping that would fix the issue.  It has not.
    We've tried to remove the Nvidia driver, however, each time the system restarts, it auto-installs it.
    We've been reading recommendations about upgrades to video cards, power supplies, etc., however, thought we'd come to the main source for advice, before we attempt to swap anthing out on own.
    Your guidance/recommendations is greatly appreciated.

    Hey italianice, 
    I'm sorry you're running into this issue with the black screen. Is there any pattern to when the black screen appears? During videos? Games? High CPU usage? During other specific programs?
    It would be helpful to know which video driver and BIOS version you have currently. Here is a link for steps to find your current BIOS version. I'll keep an eye out for your reply

  • Black Screen in Facetime

    My facetime connects and I can see the other person perfectly.  However, they only see a black screen from me.  I have checked my camera and it is working fine.

    Hi Alex,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    From what I understand, the Camera app on your iPhone 5 won’t take photos or video but you can use the cameras with FaceTime. The article below provides troubleshooting suggestions that’ll help you isolate the issue to hardware or software, and setup service if it’s needed.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    I hope this helps,
    -Jason

  • Apple TV with plain black screen, doesn't show in iTunes, reset no help

    I was watching a purchased iTunes movie and it was inserting random black screens from time to time. I tried another iTunes show and it did the same thing.
    So I did a "soft reset" with no change. Then a factory restore.
    Now I get nothing. Its not showing up in iTunes on my Mac and it merely has a plain black screen all the time. Swapped out HDMI cables to make sure it wasn't a bad cable.
    The led is showing white which seems to indicate that everything is running normally...
    Is there a next level reset that I can try?
    Other suggestions?

    I am using my powerbook / leopard and airport with the atv. I can get the atv on the net but not as a device on itunes. My old imac with tiger shows the device. I don't see anything in leopard preferences to help. Any suggestions?

    ok, so I think I have foud a solution that works for me.
    I created this file and added the following lines
    /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
        Section "Device"
            Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
            Driver      "intel"
            Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
          EndSection
    I have shutdown 3 times and it has booted to the desktop everytime. When I remove this file and go back to sna it reproduces the error of the black screen.

  • Export black screen

    Hi, i have a problem, im trying to export my sequence of almost 2 hrs, i exported 2 mins of it just to check how is it gonna look, the 2 mins export looks great, but! when i export the entire sequence it shows a black screen. i have no audio in my project.
    My guess is that i need to render the entire sequence, but this lead to another Q, why is this happening now, i had worked with a similar project before, never rendered, and worked!
    Thx in advance!

    thanks for the quick reply! ok... where to start.
    i have a coktail of videos here, some of em are SD 480 (720x480) and others are 480 (854x480) and another of 360 (360x288) and another of 320x240, but all of em are diferent in fps from 18.18 to 30... i guess here is the leak, my sequence is set to 25fps, could that be it? what should i do in this cases that i have a mix of fps and ratio?
    the source vids are H.264-AAC.flv i have Pr pro cs5.5, mac os X 10.7.5
    here are screenshots from my sequence and export settings
    thanks again

  • CS4: Flashing black screens between clips after exporting

    I'm having some trouble with a particular project when exporting video, and I can't seem to track down the cause. The primary problem is flashing black screens between clips, with the additional problem of occasionally having a clip that I fade to be completely black (ie, the first clip just fades to black instead of fading to the second clip).
    I say "occasionally" because the problem seems to migrate depending on what I do to try to fix it. I've noticed that if I shift the clips .1 seconds one way or another where there is a black screen, it will sometimes fix the problem, but when I fix one of them the exact same problem will pop up in another place where it didn't exist before. I can also export a few seconds of video where the problem occurs independently of the rest of the project and the issue won't occur, but will then reoccur in the same place if I export the project as a whole. All of the video is from the same source and is in the same format (.MOV from a Canon 7D). I've edited plenty of other stuff from the same source on the same computer, and the only other time I've seen this problem it's been fixed by just shifting the clips a little bit in the timeline as mentioned above. If anyone can suggest ANYTHING I can try to troubleshoot this problem I'd really appreciate it, because right now this is driving me up the wall.

    I've been exporting to h.264 exclusively so far. Below is a screenshot of where one of the offending screens appears between the two clips on the timeline (the yellow in the bar up top is there because I had stepped that clip back .1 seconds like I mentioned earlier and not re-renered the sequence). I've also verified that this particular spot shows no black screen on the Program Monitor - it's a completely smooth jump from one cut to another. Please let me know if you see anything that might be causing this!
