Black/white flash at end of iDVD transition

Why am I getting a black (or white) flash consistently after a transition from iDVD menu to movie?

One thought. Take a look at your timeline in your original imovie project. If your audio comes first without any video attached to it, that can cause the flash. If that's not the case, try shaving one or two frames off your video, then reimport your project into idvd. That might take care of it. Good luck. And let us know how it turns out.

White flash when previewing movies on full screen

Sometimes, when previewing my current editable movie project on the full screen I see a brief white flash at the end. Any idea why this is, please, and can it be avoided? No problem, I guess, if it does not appear in the final iDVD version or on the burnt DVDs. Thanks, Keith.

Hello, Keith,
Welcome to the discussions.
Some users reported a brief white flash in association with a transition. Is yours related to a transition? The 'cure' was to move the playhead frame by frame until you see the white flash, then 'split video at playhead' to isolate the flash. Usually it is only a frame or two in duration, and you can delete it.
If it is with a transition, you will have to delete the transition, find the white flash frame, delete it and redo the transition.
Post back if this is not helpful.

White flash during iDVD transitions?

Whenever I apply a transition to a button (play movie, select chapter, etc.), I get a short, white flash before the next video plays. Doesn't seem to matter what type of transition I apply (fade to black, push, etc.).
How can I alleviate this issue?
Many thanks.
Jeff

Thanks Sue... not sure that's it as I don't think I'm working with a slide show. I simply choose a theme to start... import a video (or two, etc.)... then select a transition for the button. If the transition takes me to the start of the movie (be it dissolve, fade to black, etc.), there is a momentary white flash, then the movie starts. Kinda annoying. I'll read up on the slide shows.

White flashes in iDVD

I made a huge iMovie in HD--1:25 in length. When I first sent it to iDVD, the audio sync was off near the end. I was able to fix that, but now when I preview it in iDVD there are two places where the screen goes white for a second. When I check my iMovie, the white flashes are not there! The white flashes are not at transitions or chapter markers, but after a title put over a clip. I sent the iMovie to iDVD by dragging it. Anybody else experience this and have an explanation?

Sometimes the Preview function in iDVD doesn't work exactly right. Try Saving as a Disc Image from iDVD and then use Apple's DVD Player to see if the video functions correctly. "Save as Disc Image" creates a virtual DVD on your desktop that you can Copy to a physical disc using Roxio Toast or Apple's Disk Utility.

White Flash on transition

I have made several movie's with still photos put music. I have 1 movie that has just started getting white flashes at the end of some of the transition. I used cross dissolve transition with all movies and only one is doing this. It also only happens with a few of the pictures/transitions.
PowerMac G5 2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

We've had other people asking a similar question,
If dip to color dissolve is not what you arte after
I can only suggest something that despite not being a flash could
represent an alternative effect. Not sure what exactly you have in mind!

My MacBook Pro just turned itself off while installing Windows 7. It has now got a black screen with a white flashing bar in the top left corner...what can I do?

I was just installing windows 7 onto my MacBook Pro. I selected to have 200GB for Windows and the rest leave for Mac.
I clicked install and the bar filled up as it should do. However, once the install had completed, my MacBook turned itself off. I assumed this was normal. Now, my MacBook has a black screen with a white flashing underscore in the top left corner.
What is wrong and what should I do?

Hold down the Option key when starting up then on the sceen that comes up select Mac OS X to boot from.
The Win 7 install didn't go well and is hung in some way. You should use boot camp assistant to remove the win partition and start over.
Make sure you are using a Retail version of Win 7. A Branded OEM version, like ones from Dell and HP, will NOT work to install Windows 7 on your Mac.

Black screen with white flashing line on startup

~computer info~
Mac OS X Version 10.6.7
2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
24 in. Montior
Startup disk: Macintosh HD
~Partition info~
FAT32 Windows XP
~issue~
Hello; I've recently encountered a problem with bootcamp that I can't find a solution to... Every time I start up the computer in boot camp, all I get is that black screen with the white flashing line. It comes up, goes to a plain black screen, then quickly comes up again. It never stops, either. I've let it run, and it won't finish.
I've had the partition for MONTHS now, and nothing like this has happened. I've had it since I upgraded to Snow Leopard awhile back, and needed to re-partition the drive. I literally had been using it the day before it happened, and the only thing that happened was that I got that "Windows Security 2011" malware, but I got rid of it fully (As I've gotten it 3 times this month). The other two times I got it, it didn't do anything. I fixed it, and went on with life. But is it possible that it broke something in the partitions inner files this time?
I ran disk utility, and it said the partition was broken. After verifying it and confirming this, I did "Repair Drive", as it allowed me to. It finished with no errors and said it completed, so I tried to go back into the partition, but it gave me the same results.
To be honest, most of my stuff is on my External Harddrive, so re-doing the partition is only going to be time used to me. But I still DO have things on there, and it'd be a pain to transfer them back and forth between the Mac and Windows partitions... I'd really like to know if there's anyway to fix this, or if it's just going to fall back to me re-partitioning the drive...
Thanks for the help in advance.

That blinking line is a "cursor." It's only supposed to show for a second or two as your iMac switches to and then starts Windows. But as you indicate here, it's not getting past the cursor..
Disk Utility can repair FAT volumes, but it cannot correct issues caused by corrupted items which, if the volume was repaired, there may be some.
Since we are dealing with a Windows boot partition, it's entirely possible that the repairs inadvertently corrupted the data Windows needs to start and run. It's also posible that Mac OS, in fixing the Boot Camp volume, overwrote the existing boot record in the Windows partition with a generic, though non-bootable version.
Windows' own CHKDSK should have been used to make the repairs rather than the OS X Disk Utility, which would have avoided this worst-case scenario in data recovery. CHKDSK has a special version of itself on the Windows disc, which may be accesed by using the Windiws Recovery Consile upon pressing R during the "Welcome to Setup" screen.
Though it appears ftom my position here that you will need to reinstall XP, it may yet be possible to recover data that hasn't been copied to the external HDD. For this task, I'd like to recommend that you start up in Mac OS for the time being, and pull any new or changed items from the Boot Camp volume except for installed software; the latter are nearly impossible to transport with reasonable accuracy, and should instead be reinstalled.
Once you have what you need, format your Boot Camp volume and reinstall Windows, this time selecting NTFS as your filesystem. NTFS is the preferred option for Windows in general, thiaks to its innate file access controls as well as the ability to compress or encrypt data "on the fly." NTFS can be read by Mac OS X, but not written from it, thus NTFS volumes cannot be altered except by Windows itself.. But it is also a requirement if you plan to upgrade your unit using Windows 7 in future.

Oracle forms display bright white flash when transitioning between forms.

We recently migrated an application from Oracle Application Server to WebLogic and we are noticing that in the WebLogic environment while transitioning between forms there is a quick bright white flash that has caused several complaints. We are not sure if this is related to a performance issue which may be preventing the form from painting quick enough or if there is a configuration problem somewhere. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
We are running WebLogic Server Version 10.3, Fusion Middleware 11gR1, and Oracle DB 11.2

Unfortunately we don't have any errors to work off of. The application works fine, it's just that their is a very short delay when transitioning from one form to another and during that transition the whole form turns bright white which has caused users to complain that it could cause an epileptic seizure. I assumed maybe there was some performance tuning/caching that could be done to make it so it loaded quicker. Our DBA team recieved a response from Oracle support stating that although the forms themselves are relatively unchanged, due to the underlying software changes in 11g we are to expect some differences compared to previous versions. We have since set background in formsweb.cfg to use a light grey image which seems to be more acceptable for our users.

My 80gb ipod isn't working.... black screen with white flashes

Got the 80 GB Ipod (with video) X-mas '06, haven't had many problems with it (except for the occasional freezing, where the standard "reset" technique has fixed it).
Was using it last night, the battery meter was pretty low. Turned it off and went to bed. Woke up, tried using it today, and it wouldnt turn on.
The screen is black, but every 5-10 seconds, there's a quick white flash. It has been doing this all day.
I've tried resetting it, charging it into my Windows USB port... nothing. The computer doesn't even seem to recognize it, and ITunes doesnt start when I plug it into the USB like it normally does.
The black screen/white flashing continues even when it's plugged into the USB.
Any ideas on what is going on? What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

White flashes in transitions

Just upgraded to iMovie 6.0.3, and now I'm getting a visual "flash" during transitions between stills. Seems to happen no matter what the length or style of the transition or clips. Seems to happen at the end of the transition.
Power PC G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

does it also happen when you use the Ken burns effect?
Would that be the same as "flickering"?.... or maybe choppy looking
I do get quite a bit of that on my intel/IMovie 6, but not on my G-5 Power, using the same software.
I thought it might be just the intel. I mean heck, I just updated to the latest.

White flash on page transitions

Hi guys
The title kind of says it all. Between any two page transitions on
www.andybertaut.com there's an ugly white flash that only seems to be appearing in IE11. (I checked IE8 and chrome). I googled it and found two possible solutions (a link to an unused js file, which I don't have, each of my js files are in use,
and the need for an IF statement to cover page transition smoothening for IE:
<meta http-equiv="Page-Enter" content="blendTrans(duration=0)" />
<meta http-equiv="Page-Exit" content="blendTrans(duration=0)" />)
Neither one worked. I went all through my css and can't find anything. Some of the pages are really simple, with only a small amount of html and css in them, so I'm not sure what could be awry in them.
Thanks

It would be hard to help you unless we can reproduce your results. I can't. I see nothing on IE11 that I don't see on another browser. There is no white flash between page transitions.

I have a macbook latest update & am trying to install flash player 7 will not accept password & I have triesd both administrator password & adobe password & "ok" keeps jumping w/o any message other than hint: black & white" I'm confused & frustrated.

I am a macbook user latest update & cannot get beyond the password - have used Adobe password & administrator password but the "ok" keeps jumping - hint: says "black & white" Very frustrating.

This password prompt is presented by your operating system, and is intended to keep you from accidentally installing software.
If this is your personal machine and you don't need a password to log into the computer when it first starts up, you can probably leave the password blank and click OK to get past this prompt. If this is your personal machine and your normal password isn't working, check to make sure that CAPS LOCK is off, and type the password carefully.
If this is your work machine and it's asking for an Administrator password, well, you'll need to have a conversation with your friendly IT person.
If you're still stumped, you may need to reset the password on your Mac:

Cinema 4D to AE problem - random white flashes

Hi guys, just having a really random problem.
I've exported a cinema 4d file to AE so I can put the finishing touches on in ae.
When I scrub through the timeline in AE everything looks perfect.
However when I render it out there's these random white flashes that occur? I have no idea what's causing this.
I've tried placing black solids in the back, rendering out in different formats, nothing works.
When I export from C4D - QuickTime movie with the Animation codec is selected and the Alpha Channel, Straight Alpha and 24 bit dithering are selected by default (could these be causing it?). I dont want to experiment because it takes about 6 hours to render that simple animation...(wtf??)
Also in relation to the Composition project file, relative and include 3d data are selected along with After Effects as the target application.
here's an example of what's going on:
http://vimeo.com/15378812
I'm running:
i7 950 3.06ghz
24GB 1333mhz ram
Nvidia Quadro FX 1700
Raid 10 setup

I dont want to experiment because it takes about 6 hours to render that simple animation...(wtf??)
And your point? 3D rendering is an intense process, even more so when as per your example you use reflections and all that. I don't see a problem here, you are just inexperienced and lack a frame of reference from using more 3D programs, obviously.
When I export from C4D - QuickTime movie with the Animation codec is selected and the Alpha Channel, Straight Alpha and 24 bit dithering are selected by default (could these be causing it?).
Yes, it's stupid. Not for the settings but for the simple fact that when the machine were to crash halfway inbetween, you'd lose all your work because the clip would end up being damaged. likewise, you cannot interrupt and continue at a later point. It's simply a bad workflow. always use image sequences! That aside, it may still be a compression glitch, but this is between you and the effed up little app that C4D is these days...

DVD project burned in Black & White

What happened? My DVD project was in color but when I burned it to a DVD, played it on my TV, lo and behold it was in black & white (not desirable)
Please advise.

Hi Patti
Looks like You have made a PAL-movie when wanting a NTSC or
vice versa.
You have to cheque iDVD (and may be iMovie to see that Your further
projects ends up in the format You can view).
