Canvas Flashes "Unrendered" On Playback

I'm a new FCP 6.0.2 user, so forgive my ignorance, but when I've viewed tutorials, it seems that you should be able to view everything in the timeline within the canvas without rendering, but whenever I hit play within the canvas, I get a blue flashing screen that beeps "Unrendered" at me. How do I make this go away? Is there a setting I'm missing or am I just misguided in my expectations?
Thanks!

Thanks for the help. So if I'm working with a million different settings (lots of media from different places), I should render everything first and then will I be relieved of this awful screen?

Canvas flashes red on playback, resart needed

has anyone else encountered the following FCP bug since the last round of apple updates:
FCP works fine for hours then every playback n the canvas flashes red; as if there is a frame of video then a frame of pure red, then a frame of video etc. It's red strobing effect. I need to restart my mac to get the problem to disappear.
Is this a known issue?
It's only happened since I last updated the OS, pro apps etc
thanks

I just had this issue too.. and solved it.
red flashes with jpeg-codec.mov / prores422.mov and I'm running a bunch of apps and have nvidia card.
I realised that I was playing a youtube video in the background through safari.
When it stopped, which was the only change I made, the flashes went...
THEREFORE.. the problem was that there is not enough memory/power/whatever is needed to refresh the fcp canvas at a suitable framerate so it was lowered automatically to suit the memory - red possibly just being a default colour to warn.

Two animations on the same page Html5 canvas (flash cc)

Hi all,
I have been using Flash CC to create some nice html5 animations and I am really enjoying it. However I wanted to add more than one animation to the same page. I have managed to get two animations running on the same page, but I am having some issues whereby only one of the animations load the supported images where as the second one does not. I have pasted my code below, any help would be gratefully received. In the long term I want to add many animations to the same page, so would appreciate some help on how this can be done more efficiently. Many thanks in advance.

Clips appear as UNRENDERED on playback

I am a completely new user of Final Cut Pro. Just working through the tutorial, but when I hit the space bar to playback the clips do not appear and the word unrendered fills the screen. If I scrub over the ruler on the playback head the clips play normally. I'm using the video clips provided with the tutorial so would assume they were ready to use??? Any help appreciated! Thanks.

Welcome to the forum
to render your footage go to Sequence\render all\ both
but really, you should not have to render your footage if your sequence settings match your clip setting

*** Help, the canvas turns white on playback

I must have accidentally hit a setting b/c now after I stop playback of the footage in my timeline, the Canvas goes white and I can't see where the clip is at underneath...
Any idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Set the Canvas window for RGB mode. It sounds like it may have been toggled to Alpha mode.

Browser to flash HD Video playback stutters on Atom-ION based PC

When ever I try to play video in hd, the video playback will stutter. Meanwhile Xbox Media Center can all three videos just fine using the appropriate free video plug-in.
Can the Adobe Flash Player be fixed and optimized to play videos with smooth playback, on the Atom-ION PCs.

Can you say even more about what it is you want to do? I mean, what will the application do, not what are the technical aspects of how it will work?
For a point of comparison, look at this thing I did:
http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/mixit/
If you try out the Make page, both the template ones and the from scratch one, as well as the View page to see the playback unit in action. Is what you're going to do anything like that?
I have tried the playback part of this as a mobile app, and it so very nearly works ok! Amongst the many problems are that the overall data rate needed is quite high, and mobile devices aren't as consistant or high bandwidth as desktops, the external swfs often need code in them, so that rules out iOS, and to do the layering involved rules out H.264.
At some future time there will hopefully be StageVideo that can use H.264, but I don't know when that will be, or whether it will be responsive enough (FLV is much faster to connect to and play than H.264).
Incidentally, even in the Objective-C world you can't lay things on top of the standard iOS H.264 player. To do that you have to use the AV Foundation class, so it's fairly low level programming. Using FLV in Flash is a lot easier!

Flash output and playback controls

Hi,
I'm using Captivate 3 to create my project. I publish the output to Flash, then insert it into a Word document by selecting the 'Acrobat' tab, then 'Embed Video'.
The document converts to PDF, and the video plays wonderfully. However the user has no playback controls, so the video just plays without stopping. For example you may like to pause the video during an interruption.
I'm using Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, and tried inserting the video directly into the PDF using Tools > Multimedia > Flash Tool, also Video Tool. I found that it didn't embed the content so only I could play it, and still didn't provide the playback controls.
How do I get my published Captivate output into a PDF file for distribution and have playback controls? I searched the forum but couldn't find an answer to this. Can anyone help me to achieve this please?
Thanks for your help
Lillibet

Hi All,
Just thinking that perhaps it would help to rephrase my question. . .
Does anyone else add Captivate demos to PDF files, and if so which format do you use?
Which format should I use in order to embed the demo file and see the playback controls when running the demo in the PDF file?
I'm using Captivate 3 and Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, both from the Tech Comms Suite v1.3.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Regards
Lillibet

Flash Player 9 Playback Problems

Hi all,
I have a problem with Flash Player 9 (FP9) playing certain
videos. Mostly, these videos were recorded using Camtasia. Whenever
I watch them, the video plays fine, but the audio gets off track.
It will be playing along, then it sounds as though someone bumped a
fast forward button, because for a split second, it'll sound like
Alvin and the Chipmunks. A few seconds later, for just a split
second, it'll sound like the speed slowed way down. This continues
throughout the whole video.It causes the audio not to match up with
the video, along with being very annoying...
It does this in IE and Firefox. I uninstalled and
reinstalled it numerous times, but to no avail. I finally installed
Flash Player 8 on Firefox, and it works perfectly. It doesn't do
this on my girlfriend's computer or my computer at work, both which
have FP9 installed. I even just installed a new hard drive, and
installed XP, and it even does it on my new hard drive. I have
tried everything that I can think of, and still the only solution
is to use an earlier version such as 8. Is there something I'm
missing, a plug, a patch, etc. Could it have to do with my
computer? It is a Toshiba L25-S1216. Thanks for listening, or
should I say reading...

Darrin,
This is the first Adobe post I've found where someone in
authority has said it would be fixed. Do you have an estimated time
when? Many of our college students are extremely frustrated because
watching our educational video content is part of the course
homework...it's already been a month into the semester and the
sound tracks are too annoying (because of FlashPlayer 9.0.115.0)
for them! We can only advise them to uninstall and reinstall an
earlier version, at their own risk, because there seems to be many
issues with that process, as well. This has been a nightmare for so
many of our instructors and students at Nashville State Community
College. Please please take down the FlashPlayer 9.0.115.0 until
you can provide a better one because right now you're just
spreading the invasion of alien sounds.

White flashes in qt7 playback

hello all.
I've noticed recently when I'm watching video in qt7, all avi's I'm pretty sure. there's randomly every so often a white flash, very quick, like a flash bulb. I've gone back in vids to see if it's in the vid itself, and it's not. I haven't timed them out yet to see if it's happening at regular intervals, I'd say it's no more than every 10-20 min at most. figured maybe someone here would have some info.
thanks.

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.

Flash Lite - Automatic playback of SWF-files within MMS

Dear flash communty,
I've the problem that SWF-files doesn't play automatically when I open the MMS I received. I tried to solve the problem with SMIL files, but it seams that the Flash Lite player doesn't support these scripts. Does anyone of you know anything else to solve the problem? Is there another way to implement this feature?
Greetings,
Noctem

We have been working with one of our customers on delivering
an on line sales tool using the Adobe Connect environment. They for
the usual legal reasons wished to use a sales aid they had already
created. This was a flash based CD-rom with various flash movies
initiated by rollovers and buttons.
But there was two problems:
1. The index would not work i.e. the menu page appeared but
the subsequent movies and animations could not be found
2. The click throughs and rollovers would not synchronizes,
i.e. if the presenter moved forward through the presentation the
participants did not.
Both of these obviously make it useless.
After over three weeks of R&D we (David Kwaw , Steve
Grovenor and J ) have developed a bespoke piece of programing,
based on Sync SWF
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/acrobatconnect/articles/basic_syncswf_pt1.html
That solves this issue, we have since refined the coding so
that ONLY the presenter has control of the flash presentation,
making it more like Adobe Presenter just ALOT more flexible and
better looking.
If you would like to know more... just drop us a line.

Aliasing on Red and Blue color in ALL Flash Player video playback (including YouTube)

We have noticed that Flash Player does not smoothly decode the colors red or blue in video files (such as YouTube/Vimeo/similar), resulting in nasty aliasing on text/edges of solid colour. The problem occurs on both Mac and Windows platforms, tested with Flash Player 11.3 to 11.5 and demonstrated using the video below:
https://vimeo.com/51914568
This video shows the issue clearly (you can switch between Vimeo's HTML5 Player to Flash Player. The red and green text is smoothly displayed in HTML5 Player or VLC/Quicktime Player). Note: watch in SD, not HD:
Only with Flash Player are edges aliased/jagged where they should be smooth. It's as if the resolution is dropped in half during the YUV decode.
I reported this today as Bug 3351502
Here's hoping Adobe can get this sorted as it means the entire content of YouTube (for example) has poor quality video in Flash player.
You can also clearly see this on this cocacola advert:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2nBBMbjS8w&feature=relmfu
CB

In general, the most expedient way to get your issue in front of an engineer (and to track progress on it) is to file a bug at http://bugbase.adobe.com/
I actually filed a bug on your behalf a while back. It was reviewed by an engineer from the video team, and closed as a duplicate of this bug:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3324604
It sounds like the problem is specific to H.264 video encoded with 10-bit color. You could re-encode your videos with 8-bit color as a temporary workaround to avoid the problem. If you're seeing the same problem with 8-bit color, please let me know.
The bug is currently open and assigned to an engineer from the video team.

Inserting Flash video and playback question

Hello,
I am using Dreamweaver CS4 and I have inserted a Flash movie into a web page. It's working fine, except that I would like it to automatically go to a different web page when the video is done playing. Is there a setting for this within Dreamweaver itself or do I have to write an HTML script of some kind to make it do that?
Help and advice are appreciated. :)
Thanks, ryan

I don't have any experience at all with Actionscript. Do I have to buy Flash? Or can I access/edit it as part of Dreamweaver?

Why does the canvas said "unrendered"?

I thought the whole new thing with FCE 3.5 is that you can view nearly all transitions and effects without rendering, but I can't view anything in the canvas even without transitions, etc. Could anyone clarify for me the reason for this and how to truly preview effects?

You know it actually fixed itself and I have no idea why. I'm sorry for asking...I have no idea what happened. In case you have any clue, I am running an MBP with FCE Express 3.5 I really am not sure what happened but it's fixed so...

How to set Canvas to show actual playback area size

I have sequences that have source video footage in different aspect ratios (from VHS, Mini-DV etc.), however in FCE Easy Setup I have the output set to NTSC 720x480. Some of the sequences have video footage solely from the Mini-DV that is in a wide screen format (I believe 16:9), however that exact ratio is not important to this question.
Question: I need to re-scale and pan the Mini-DV video so as to better relate to the output 720x480 format. Currently in either the Canvas or Viewer only the fully wide screen Mini-DV view is displayed. Is there a way to also display the 720x480 output window so as to be able to position the wider and shorter Mini-DV video?

Thanks Skalicki that works. I am confused on one item though. I had initially created a sequence with the Mini-DV video inserted where the Canvas and Viewer only showed the widened view (not overlaid with the 720x480 output limits showing). I followed your advise then copy/pasted the same footage into the newly created sequence and I now get the correct width video with bars at top and bottom that I can easily correct using the Motion settings. Do you know why the initial sequence would not include the 720x480 output? Thanks for any thoughts.

Flash novice - swf playback how-to

...so I've got a swf as my portfolio/demoreel interface, I've got all the buttons working right (bio, resume) but I don't know how to add code to the demoreel portion(which is a .swf file within the .swf interface) I've added it on a layer in my scene, hoping that it would simply start playing, obviously its not working as I expected.
If i've got a button with instance name: demoreelButton_instance1, how do i script the button to have the swf start playing?
any help would me much appreciated,
Cheerz
-M

If you imported the swf into your library and it contained actionscript to make it work, it doesn't contain the actionscript anymore. You need to dynamically load the swf in order for it to retain its built-in functionality
In any other case, you should be able to just target the swf object and tell it to play();
