i have changed many things resently including a logitech keyboard (with loads of shortcut keys) a saitek p3000 wireless game pad (which i had setup to be a remote control mouse so i could control my software from the next room)
anybody else had similar problem of black box on dvd player window on tv output please help

the original drivers that came with the card did a real clone copy of my desktop but the newer drivers (i have had to use to run games) have given me the problems with video out anyway i have fully programed my wireless games controller with all the buttons to control power dvd and everything i need to shut the computer down from another room so i dont have to get my lazy arse up anymore out of chair/bed after a film finishes so i can live with that thanks for help

YouTube Issues: Pitch Black Video Screen! Am I the Only One?

Just recently I have experienced a complete inability to view videos on YouTube. Everything loads just fine on the page *except* the actual video to be watched. In its stead there's just a pitch black rectangle, but nothing else.
I have tried finding a solution via the limited resources offered by Google and YouTube, but so far no one has responded to my forum post!
Am I the only Safari/Apple user who is expereincing this problem with YouTube?

Tried emptying the Safari cache lately?
Press Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
Quit and relaunch Safari and try a video.
If that doesn't help, download the Flash plugin here > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=JZEFT
Flash is required for most YouTube content.

Video screen is black

I have downloaded movies from iTunes and synced to my iPad2 but my video screen is black and i can't find the movies...help?

If the Videos app appears to be frozen then try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If it'snot frozen but you films aren't showing then have you got an age rating set in Settings > General > Restrictions that is hiding them ?

Black title screen not large enough to cover video: see edges of underlying video

Hello users,
I am trying to use black title screens to display names of songs which are to appear for 5 seconds before fading and then showing the performer.
I have the title screen on the track 2, above the video on track 1.
I can see a very slight but noticable edge of the video all around the title screen. I see this on my Sony pro production monitor and on my Plasma TV.
How can I eliminate that? I thiought I could just enlarge the title screen but I see no way to do that.
Insights appreciated!
I'm on CS 6.03 and Windows.

I see now, the little window that pops when doing "new, title" let's you specify the title size. Why can't we just be able to change that in the properties at the right? What if you have already created a slew of titles?

Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the device

In the Video screen its JUST BLACK

6.0.1.3 (version) Plus the New QT
Where you could usually see your itunes files it's just black. Has anyone else heard of this?
everything else works fine.

hi Tom!
just checked myself, and indeed it was all black on my (6.0.0.18) beast too.
when the screen is black like that, i see there are a couple of icons under the "browse" eye. click on the horizontal lines one and we get the blue and white lines again. click the four black boxes and you get the inky blackness.
perhaps that's our video screen? and the lines thing is our video library?
love, b

I get a black capture screen (preview), but video captures fine. What gives?

I get a black capture screen when capturing with CS6 on a Windows 7 machine. I'm capturing through Firewire from DV tape, via the VCR function of a Canon XL2 camera. I have tried restarting, etc.; also toggled the "preview video" radio from the Settings button in the capture Window. Nothing works and I need to be able to preview my video as I'm capturing. It is not good enough that the video actually captures fine. Also, I am forced to turn off Device Control in order to capture because it kicks me out of every capture (an immediate message of : "no frames captured") unless I do. Please help.

I'm not familiar with the process of rolling back to a previous update and I assume that is what you are suggesting? It looks like I'm running 6.05. Are you suggesting I roll all the way back to 6.00 past 6.04. 6.03, etc? And if I do roll back, does that mean I have to completely uninstall and reinstall CS6 first? That would be a royal pain.
A little more updated info: It's not just in attempting to capture from a DV tape that I get the black capture screen, but the live firewire signal is also black, though again it actaully captures just fine, I just cannot monitor the screen while doing it.
And it's definitely not something physical, like a bad firewire cable, because I also have the old 2.0 version of Premiere installed on the same machine so I tried an experiment: I open CS6, then open the capture screen (which of course remains black). So I close CS6 and open 2.0 and then open the capture window. It too is black. But if I restart my machine and open 2.0 without first opening CS6, and then open the capture window, the display is just fine. So obviosuly some service from CS6 is remaining open when I close it and thus affecting 2.0.
This problem is really starting to irritate me.

Quicktime 7.5 - Black Video and no Audio - Using Windows Vista

Hello,
I tried asking this, but I don't think I was clear enough.
Current Computer - Dell Inspiron, Quad Core, 4gig Ram, < 1yr old.
Running OS - Vista Home
Up until recently Quicktime worked fine, then all of the sudden the video is gone.
The audio is still there however.
What I have done to try to resolve -
1) Reviewed previous topics and tried the following -
a) update Preferences to Safe Mode (That made a white stripe in the black screen)
b) Update preferences to remove Direct 3D video acceleration, nothing changed
2) Reinstall Quicktime 7.5 - No change, still shows BLACK video and will play audio
3) Reinstall Itunes with Quicktime - No change still shows BLACK video and will play audio
Thank you for any help you can provide!

I have found a temporary workaround for this. I can open the indeo 5.1 formatted avi's in another program (either fade to black or virtualdub) and change/convert to another indeo codec called IYUV (as opposed to IV50) and while it renders a much larger avi file, those DO open in Quicktime, and when I export to convert this larger avi into a MOV file, it is about the same file size in the end product as the ones I render from the same 5.1 avi on the other computer. Knowing I can do this as needed saves me having to re-render all 400 or so of my avi's to another codec or lose them.
I STILL think there is a fix out there that is related to somehow telling the registry to recognize the ir50_32.qtx codec the same as I finally did to get Windows MP to play these files, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
Progress is supposed to make these files SMALLER with BETTER quality, but all I see so far with these "new improved" codecs is bigger files and no better (or even worse) image/sound quality. I'll change to more "modern" codecs when they show me one that is an actual improvement over the old one based on this criteria. And AVI remains the ONLY file format that can be extensively modified and edited artistically (zoom, crop, add watermarks and color filters and special effects). Apple is shooting themselves in the foot if they make us unable to open our AVIs in the pro version so we can continue to use QT Players on our web pages. I LIKE the mov finished product for both file size and quality, and I am happy to drive new customers to them as long as they let me convert my files in QT Pro. When I can't any longer, I'll convert every single website on all my websites player to Flash.

Black video thumbnails in iPhoto (Mavericks)

Hello everyone.
I have Mavericks on a late 2012 Macbook Pro running iPhoto 9.5.1.
I recently noticed that rough a third of my videos were displaying thumbnails that are just black. I freaked for a second, thinking the movie files were gone or something but thankfull the video files are still there and play just fine.
Still it would be nice to see that the video thumbnail images are rather than just black rectangles, right?
I tried all the different iPhoto rebuilding options (which takes a heckuva long time! ... then purchased iPhoto Library Manager and attempted some rebuild options using that with no luck.
Wondering if anyone has had this issue too and/or solved it?
Cheers!

Thanks for the quick reply!
I triple checked a handful of the video files and they aren't exhibiting black at the start.
How I checked:
- Select black video thumbnail image
- Press space bar (to "zoom" and begin playing video"
- Stop video playback at approx. five seconds in (video counter reads 00:00:05)
- Rewind "playhead" to very start of video so that the counter reads 00:00:00 and there is definately an image / content being displayed (e.g. is not black)
See attached screen shot with playhead at 00:00:00

ISight- Black Video Screeen... What's Going On?

My iSight just stopped working. The green light comes on, but no video. The video screen is BLACK. It's worked before, many of times... and it won't budge. I've tried the troubleshooting, and I'm using the latest iSight firmware, so I don't really know what the issue is. Any suggestions!?

Any suggestions!?
If you are not certain that your iSight is working properly, you can check it using the hints in the How To Ensure Your iSight Is Functional FAQ.
If your iSight does not pass these tests, see the Where to Find Help for iSight? FAQ
If your iSight is NOT broken, try Mac OS X maintenance.
Also, your system info shows Mac OS X 10.4. If that is correct, you should immediately update to 10.4.2, which corrects several previous issues. I suggest you update as recommended in How I Update My Mac OS X.
If those things do not fix your problem, and if your problem is really with video in iChat AV rather than other Some Applications you can use with iSight, consider the trouble shooting items in the How Can I get iChat working again? FAQ.

Adobe Flash with R9 290 Hardware Acceleration Black Videos

I am not sure what causes this bug. I can restart the computer and it fixes the issue but randomly after a while it goes back to black. I can disable hardware acceleration and sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. There are 2 other people I know that had this issue. This happens to me both in Firefox and Chrome.
http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2179088/290-black-screen-issue-possibly-due-adobe-f lash.html#14303459
I would report it to the bug site but it seems to be broken.

R9 290 Black Video Bug - Imgur

With hardware acceleration, we basically just hand everything off to the video card driver. It's pretty much an on/off proposition. My recommendation would be to install the latest AMD drivers that match that chipset to see if there are bugfixes that the OEM hasn't picked up. Ongoing driver updates on these OEM cards typically aren't as good as what you'd get from an AMD-branded card, but the AMD drivers will typically work (but are unsupported) for the cards made by third-party integrators. Just set a system restore point or keep a copy of the OEM drivers handy in the odd case you need to roll back.
If you're experiencing this with hardware acceleration disabled, make sure that you're looking at Flash video. YouTube serves a lot of HTML5 video these days. If you right click on it and it says About HTML5, disabling hardware acceleration in Flash isn't going to help you.
Anyway, if you're for sure looking at Flash videos that aren't rendering and hardware acceleration is disabled, please send me an exact link to the video that reproduces it.
In addition, detailed information about your OS and the browser version would be helpful in attempting to reproduce it on our end.
Thanks!

Video screen effect

Hi, was wondering if someone could help me pls! I am doing a title sequence for a charity cabaret I was involved in organising, had it filmed and now Im editing it together. Im doing it up like the Saturday Night Live titles (big fan!) I've used footage I have taken from around London of theatres etc. mucked around with them in photoshop freezeframed them taken out the original theatre signs and replaced them with either pictures or strobed video footage. Im doing one of them in Picadilly Circus, bit fiddly, I want to try and mimic the video screen effect that you get. What I mean is the small lines that make up a video screen, so it looks vaguely connected to the picture. I;ve tried some filiters, but none of them look good. Halftone kind of works but its in black and white, I want to keep it in colour. I have tried doing a texture screen but the shapes dont seem to work at all. I hope Ive explained myself well! Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!

Just came up with an idea - take the stripes generator, rotate it, put a compound blur on it and feed that with the image you want to do the line-screen with, then put a threshold on that and voilá!
Here's a project that demonstrates...
Is this what you had in mind?

Black flashing screen while in photoshop..how to stop?

Only once I open an image and start working on it, I get this annoying black flashing screen I've already updated all my drivers and also tried a few things from google, but hasn't worked so far ...Anyone know the answer?

DIsable GPU drawing in Photoshop, or update your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website to pick up at least 2 years worth of bug fixes that you are missing.

Black capture screen in Win 7 unless aero themes are turned on

I have discovered through trial and error that unless I disable Aero themes on my powerful Windows 7 laptop, my captures always seem to drop a frame or two despite the souped-up resources I have (super fast processor, 16GB RAM, capturing to second hard drive,etc). By the way, I am capturing through firewire from a Canon XL2 (DV) camera.
However, on other machines on which I have older versions of Premiere Pro installed, I can do this automatically by right clicking on my desktop Premiere Pro icon, choosing the compatibility tab, and putting a check in the "disable desktop composition" tab. This basically toggles Aero off as soon as Premiere Pro starts loading, and toggles it back on when I close it. But this has never worked with Premiere Pro CS6. I have always had to manually disable Aero even though I have supposedly disabled it through the said compatibility tab of Premiere Pro CS6.
That's never been a major problem until now. Now, if PP CS6 is open and aero themes are disabled, I get a black capture screen (I can hear the audio but the capture screen is completely black). But as soon as I toggle aero back on, the capture screen again displays video normally. So, basically, if I intend to capture with PP CS6, I am forced into leaving Aero themes on so that I can monitor my capture, but if I do so, I drop frames. Infuriating.
This seems to be a similar problem to the one I had a few months ago, "I get a black capture screen (preview), but video captures fine. What gives?"
I got no suggestions for that problem other than to "use another application to capture," (UNacceptable since I paid BEAUCOUP bucks for CS6 and I have a perfectly reasonable expectation that it should perform), and "roll back to the previous update" [again, unacceptable, as 1) I have no idea how to do that and 2) updates are issued to resolve other problems, right? So why should I be forced to roll back?]. Sorry, but these didn't help.
That particular problem was apparently "resolved" with a subsequent update, and there were no problems for a while (other than the fact that I could still not disable aero through PP CS6's compatiblity tab). But now, apparently, there has been a further update that has caused this latest problem that never existed before. Please help.

Regardless, Premiere Pro should not have an issue if I want to disable Aero themes. CS6 is the only version that apparently does have an issue with it (and, even then, only recently, which leads me to beleive that a recent update is to blame).
I know this because I also have the old, old Premiere Pro 2.0 installed on the same machine. If I disable Aero and then Open PP 2.0, the capture screen is just fine.
But if I disable Aero and first open PP CS6, close it, and then open PP 2.0 instead, the capture screen in PP 2.0 is now black as well, and I cannot get it back unless I reboot. Obviously, when I close PP CS6, some service or other, that I haven't been able to identify so far, is remaining open and affecting PP 2.0.
Again, all prior versions of PP have never had an issue with disabling Aero themes. Why does CS6, all of sudden, absolutely need it enabled in order to work properly (though it doesn't work properly, it drops frames)?
