Black video after exporting sequence in FCP7 - help please!

hello,
So i'm not doing anything new - i've edited my clips as usual, settings are all as usual, but after i export the finished sequence and try to play it back, all i get is a black screen, with audio, for the entire duration of the sequence.
in the canvas it plays back fine, theres nothing to render, i've tried both with H.264 and Apple prores 422 HQ and nothing, i have tried to export as QT and also using QT conversion, checked the video settings there, all good, the video is rendered, also i checked the video processing in settings, used both render in RGB and render in 8 bit YUV, but no luck.
and i dont think it has to do with in and out points because the black video I get IS the duration of the audio, and the whole sequence for the matter.
The only thing I am wondering about is that I added some png files to make "gifs" over the video - I exported this same video BEFORE adding the pngs and everything was fine, but it is after adding these still images that the whole video goes black after exporting. But I have done similar projects before, with the same type of files, and I have never gotten this problem.
note; there are only a few of these still images scattered over the sequence, the majority of the video doesnt have these pngs over, but it is the whole of the video that goes black after exporting.
Can someone help me please, i dont know what else to give a go at and i cant find answers to my problem online!
many thanks.

Could be your sequence is corrupt.  Create a new sequence with the same settings and copy everything from the old sequence to the new sequence. 
If you need help with this post back.

        I'm sorry to learn that you have endured the audio issues outlined in your post for almost 2 years SusanLM1! This is certainly not normal! Let's get to the bottom of this issue, first please confirm your phone model; your mention that you have the iPhone 5 but your post is on the iPhone 5S forum. Also, share the iOS version currently installed on your phone. What is your ZIP code? Does this happen mainly while you make/receive calls from a particular location (home, office, etc)?

    Hey Bakak,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    I understand that you keep getting a message to authorize your computer when trying to transfer applications to your iPhone. Here is an article on things that may cause this. I suspect that the section "Authorize using the correct account name" may be most relevant. It is possible that you have multiple Apple IDs and iTunes accounts.
    iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

  • Audio and video out of sync after exporting sequence

    I'm a FCP user since years, but not so common with HD footage. Therefore I have an issue with my finished edited movie after exporting: Video and Audio are out of sync.
    My sequence settings are: HDV1080i50, 25fps, 48kHz, 16bit, Stereo. I used File-> Export-> Quicktime Movie -> Current Settings
    Sequence has a duration of 61 minutes and 38 sec. I tried to find out where's the problem and exported audio and video seperated. This results in:
    Video is 61 minutes and 27 sec long
    Audio is 61 minutes and 38 sec long
    That means exported video is shorter than original sequence.
    What could that be ?

    I had the same problem with a Panasonic camera, even filming at 30 fps. I was able to fix it; see [this thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1783029&tstart=0]. It's a frustating problem, to be sure. You might have to use Easy Setup a couple times before you get things to work properly. Not sure why that's the case.
    Good luck!

  • Small black bars on the top and bottom on video after exporting?

    I'm using 1280x720 video footage in Adobe Premiere. The problem is, whenever I export my finished project as 1280x720, the newly rendered file has small black bars on the top and bottom.
    These black bars are not there in the Premiere preview, only after the project is rendered.
    The video file created after export is still 1280x720(16:9).
    Is there any way to get rid of these black bars, as they are quite irritating because I make youtube videos regularly.

    FAQ: How do I get rid of black bars around my movie?

  • Shaky Video after export

    Hello. I've posted on this before, but havent quite found my answer.
    I have video with some motion in it that looks shaky when I burn it to DVD. Someone suggested that I try adding the De-Interlace filter to correct it, but that doesnt seem to be it. I can watch the video from FCE on a TV going thru my camera and it looks fine (with or without the De-interlace filter). But when I export the video as a self contained movie, then pull it in to toast, and burn a DVD, the motion looks bad on the DVD. I also tried going thru iDVD, and there it looked even worse.
    This problem is new to me. I've had video with motion before and didnt have this issue.
    Any ideas????
    Thanks!

    I also read your earlier posts on this topic.
    From your description I'd exclude de-interlacing and the field dominance problem: you detect these issues before burning if you Print to Video or playback through the firewire connection to a interlaced TV. And you did that.
    So export might be the problem. Let me however suggest a test to check if the Export process from FCE or the burning process by Toast or iDVD is the issue.
    After export you could try to open the exported .mov (with Export/QuickTime Movie !) using QT Pro, open the property window (cmd-J), select the video track, open the view settings (or something alike, I have the Italian version...) and check High Quality. Then in the main window if you go through the shaky part frame by frame (right arrow) you should see how each frame looks:
    - If a frame has a comb effect (due to the fact that its 2 fields have different timing) that's not necessarily bad: what you see is interlacing, that should be correctly handled by the playback device (whether through firewire from FCE or when recorded on DVD).
    - But if frames jump back and forth, then you might have a field dominance problem.
    If interlacing or field dominance is a problem, however as I said above, you should see it also when you watch the movie connected to a TV.
    To cross check, in FCE you can set the canvas window to 100% (no more e no less) and repeat the frame by frame test I suggest above in QT Pro: if the behaviour is the same the problem is in the use of Toast or iDVD, if they behave differently in FCE (better) and QT (worse), then Export is the culprit.
    This doesn't solve your issue, but it might help in understand it.
    I hope I did not confuse your ideas...

  • Distorted video after export

    Hello.
    I have exported a video using AVCHD mp4 format. 25 fps. 1280x720 px. Aspect "Square Pixels(1.0) 1:1. Both tried CBR and VBR. With target bitrate 1.6 Mbps. See the attached pic for settings. And also see the distorted video problem I have. Can you please help me with correcting the export settings? Thanks.

    The image of the lady shows interlace artifacting and that doesn't make sense since the export was progressive and that should deinterlace the footage. One thing to check, I see that Aspect Ratio is set to "Custom", this ought to be 16:9 so please try that. Also just noticed "TV Standard" is set to "NTSC", should be "PAL" for 25fps video.
    Perhaps you should take a step back. What is the intended delivery format? There are a ton of H.264 presets and most of them willl yield good results. You have everything customized and that is likely the issue. I would start with a decent preset and see what that does before you change things around.
    Thanks

  • On external monitor: GOOD.    after render & dvd: BAAAAD.   help, please!

    Hi, I edited a 60i NTSC video from a canon XL2, and it looks fine on the external monitor (TV), the FCP preview and everything. It even looks good when I export a QT mov with no compression.
    But as soon as I burn it on iDVD and play it on a DVD player, the whole interlacing business goes terribly, terribly wrong.
    I've tried all possible exporting settings, but it doesn't work. Should I de-interlace the clips? I've gathered from reading the forums that it might help, but it sounds like a desperate solution, since the text should be interlaced but not the video?
    I mean... what did I do wrong? Isn't ot supposed to just work straight-through with the NTSC DV Easy Setup and changing only to "None" on the compressing settings at export?
    Any help, please? Anybody?

    oh, OK.
    For exporting, I used the Export>Quicktime movie, just like you said, using the current setting (i.e. Compression:None)
    The DVD player was connected to a PAL TV, but it's OK because the DVD player can read anything. I know because I've watched NTSC as well as PAL dvd movies before.
    The Canon XL2 the Mac is connected to, via Firewire, is NTSC, connected via RCA to the PAL TV. Which means the signal I'm watching is Black & White... (I know this sounds WEIRD)... but it's O.K. because what I'm really checking as I edit is the interlacing problem that I got when playing the DVD on the dvd player.... : the BAD problem.
    How bad? Really bad. Any sudden movement, or panning of objects with vertical lines, like a painting or a building looks all wobbly and curvey and blurry and wrong, which is unnacceptable for the project I'm doing, as it is a professional work (Meaning that I'm charging money for it, despite the crazy assemble of different products and formats I'm using).
    I've gotten things that look good before, but never on Final Cut Pro.. I'm new to the program, and to Mac, and this is the first video I'm exporting to a DVD on this platform.

    Rented a movie on Apple TV but it kept freezing after one minute of play - help please

    Try waiting a few minutes, or longer, to see if the beachball goes away. Start up iTunes, then go do something else for awhile. Perhaps iTunes is going some overdue bookkeeping and once you let it do it it will work again.

    As the article stated
    Start up in single-user mode by holding Command-S after restarting the computer.
    Execute these commands, each on a single line:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    Execute this command on a single line. Important: Type the command carefully, misuse of rm may damage other files.
    rm -rf /System/Library/SystemConfiguration/ApplicationEnhancer.bundle
    Restart normally.
    If the issue persists, use solution 1 above instead.

  • Video getting 'stretched' after export.... help?

    hi guys...
    ok, i have a movie i did in FCE, its just an audio file with keynote slides that are synched to it.
    The slides are jpgs, and are 1024x768 in size.
    I made a movie, it looked great.... went back to FCE to make some edits, then re-exported it... problem is now the new movie looks a bit STRETCHED....
    thats like the only way i can describe it.
    everytime i save etc it takes forever so i'd like to get this fixed... lol
    I just need the thing to look normal like it did before.... i'm really new with FCE, self taught (and thanks to the help of many of you guys
    I think it has something to do with the export.... i selected 640x480 to export it at, i thought thats what i did before.... and thats the size i need the movie in.
    seems like its getting stretched somehow
    suggestions?

    export.... i selected 640x480
    1024/768=1.33333
    640/480=1.3333
    So why is it stretched?
    I think you might be encountering a pixel aspect ratio (PAR) issue.
    Standard definition video, the type used on DVDs, uses 640x480 pixels,
    but the pixels are not square. They are stretched to make the end result
    720x480. Normally this all happens automatically, which is why many
    people don't even realize it's happening.
    My suggestion: Set your FCE sequence to be the exact size and format you
    want. When you export, don't use Quicktime conversion to adjust the size.
    Deal with all the issues in FCE before the export.
    Assuming you are working with standard def video, choose a preset
    like DV-NTSC 48kHz. When you bring your jpg files into that, you may
    have to adjust them in the Motion tab.
    Of course, if you really want 640x480, then you can modify the
    sequence preset (Sequence Menu > Settings) to set the PAR to square.
    Then your 1027x768 images should fit the frame exactly.
