Can't see video playing through external monitor

Well it use to work, seeing the Timeline play through my external monitor.. Here's what I have, FCP 4.5 HD hooked up through Firewire to a JVC tape deck which in turn is hooked up through RCA cables to a small tv set. I have the following setup in FCP Audio/Video settings>Device control Preset: Firewire NTSC and Video Playback: Apple firewire NTSC. I've unplugged the Firewire cable a couple of times and still can't get the Timeline to play in my external monitor. Here's the funny part if I go to Log and Capture I can control the JVC deck and see my mini DV not only play in the Log and Capture window but also in the external monitor. I would think I won't be able to. I must be forgetting a setting in FCP to see my Timeline play in my monitor but for the life of me I can't remeber. Appreciate all sugestions!

Randy,
Many thanks. I really should not use keyboard commands that I'm not sure about.! I probably hit cmd F12 instead of just plain old F12 to do a superimpose. I'm going to start a list of all these settings I need to check. Someday I hope to be able to help someone figure out a problem. Again thanks for taking time to help me out and keeping a few more hairs on my head.

I can't see video on my monitor while I edit

Hello folks,
The other day, I was trying to add some
motion effects using Motion with transfered
clip from Final Cut Pro but all of sudden
video play on my monitor won't show anything
and even after I went back to final cut pro,
it won't show anything while I edited.
I thought it was just that particular clips or project
but it affects the whole FCP program and I can't see
anything both on the monitor nor canvas!
I now stopped working on my project because of it.
Does anyone know why this is happening and
please provide me some answers to solve this problem!
Thank you so much in advance folks!

Another issue might be that you have two or more output devices, like a blackmagic card for example make sure under view... (sorry I don't have FCP here, I don't remember the name of the submenu but I think it's 2 subs under external...) that you have the right device selected.

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Slow Video playback on external monitor

I'm having a problem with video on an external monitor drifting out of sync. The video plays back slow on the monitor but the sound come through fine and the video is playing at a normal speed in FCP. This is only happening with video from FCP, I can play a clip in Color and there's no drift. I've opened the project on another mac and there's no problem. Also, if I set the external video play back to 10 bit the drift is worse than if it is set to 8 bit, as in a 15 sec clip takes 19 secs to play back on the external monitor at 10 bit and 18 secs in 8 bit (not exact times). I've reinstalled AJA LHe control panel and drivers, but seeing as this isn't happening in Color it seems like it must be a FCP issue. I've trashed the FCP prefs (along with AJA and quicktime), what could this be?!?

what video capture card are you using??
have you set render all to FULL, and have you rendered??

No video on dv4-2165dx but video displays on external monitor

I have a dv4-2165dx that has suddenly stopped showing video on the screen. I can see video on an external screen via VGA or HDMI output. When I turn the computer on, the screen stays blank for a few seconds but as the computer boots up, the screen truns a little lighter than the black color it shows when it is off. It seems that something is going on on the LCD since it turns some type of different color but (i.e. some type of energy has been put through the lcd) but I cannt see anything or use it at all. I have read several places where you can do hard restes, remove the battery, change the angle of the screen, etc - I have done all tips that I can find online and nothign works. I am at the point where I plan to try to replace the cable, adn possibly the inverter since the issue does not seem to be the video card given that it works on the external monitor. I have alos heard that there is a list of defective laptop models where HP would rfix the issue for free. Every link leading back to this list does not work anymore. ANy help would be much appreciated.

Hi @jsonadam
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a gran place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that your display is no longer functioning, When you power on your notebook the screens goes blank for a few seconds and when booting turns a little lighter and then goes to a black color the same as when it is powered off. Your secondary monitor is still displaying your screens. You have tried a hard reset but no change.
Here is a link to Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot
Should you require a replacement display and are interested in doing the repair yourself, here is a link to HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment PC. Please note page 26 or chapter 3 page 3 for a list or replacement displays.
I hope this helps!

What do you need to get video output to external monitor

Hello,
I'm fairly new to Color and have read a few posts that color can't be viewed by firewire to an external monitor. Basically what I have right now for external viewing in FCP is a JVC SR-VS30 Mini DV NTSC deck with firewire connected to my computer. From the deck it goes to a small TV set and a Sony Trinitron PVM color video monitor. What do I need extra to be able to see my color correction in Color on an external monitor. BTW in Color currently the Video Output tab in Setup>User Prefs is grayed out showing Disabled. I suppose that when I get whatever I need to see Color on an external monitor that this tab would NOT be grayed out or would I have to set some other settings.
Thanks.

Well, you can waste a lot of time and money trying to get your old iron up to speed but the sad fact is, even though it may work with Color, it will most likely end in a less than satisfactory experience all around. You need to determine if your G5 has PCI, PCI-x or PCIe slots and then purchase the appropriate cards.
However, Final Cut Studio 2 is optimized for the Intel processors. You will see users here and there using the newest models G5 with great success but quite honestly, you need a Mac Pro.
Or just purchase the Aja IO/HD which is a firewire 800 interface and the only firewire device that will preview externally Color.

MSI GX640 - Can it do 2560x1440 on an external monitor?

Hello all,
I'm considering to buy a 27" monitor with a 2560x1440 resolution (either the Hazro HZ27WC or the Dell Ultrasharp U2711, but I start spending money I need to know if the MSI GX640 can do this?
The graphics card seems to do only 1920x1200, however I know the HDMI and DVI signals are the same and the maximum DVI resolution is listed as 2560x1600. Is there any chance that the laptop is capable of doing 2560x1440 over HDMI?
I've also read that some owners of laptops with a NVIDIA card managed to push out 2560x1440 over VGA by 'hacking' the drivers and lowering the Hz as to increase the resolution (which shouldn't be a problem with TFT's).
Anyhow, anyone got this laptop hooked up to a monitor with a resolution higher than 1920x1200?

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

Can't see video one the web, YouTube works fine.

HI,
Using Safari I can't see video, In CNN I get the message that Apple restrict the use of Flash Player, but in other sites, which do not use Flash player I can't see the video as well, for example- http://harim.tv/default.asp?categoryid=0&videoid=317&srchq=&page=1 . The same problem in different pages having video attached, in the window of the video there is a cube shape.
Is there an add-on to Safari that has to be installed to make it working?
I would like to add, YouTube is working fine.
Thanks in advance
Eli

What's the video exactly? Open into the QT player and report what it says in the movie inspector or post a screen shot.

I can´t see videos on youtube web . All the plug ins are upgrade

You can attach to your computer with iTunes and backup the iPhone, provided you do not need to use a passcode...then you will be stuck if the screen is not visible and unresponsive.
