Color Bars play instead of Black Video

I created black video from FILE>NEW>Black Video
I placed it on the time line and when I play it I get color bars
Any Ideas
Thanks
Dennis

Dennis,
The only thing even remotely like this is some problems that QT has with "synthetic" Video, like Black Video and Transparent Video, but nothing like what you are getting.
So I imported some old black video that I had output before I had up graded to CS4 that was .avi video. I dropped it on the time line and I got Black Video.
This was basically the solution to the QT issues - Export the "synthetic Video" as the proper format/CODEC for the Project and all was good - still, we're talking Rendering/Transcoding issues, and not Color Bars there. In those cases, it was the lack of synthetic Video, and was not version-specific. Once this material was Exported to Video, it worked fine. While this could get your Project finished, there has got to be some reason for what you're seeing. You should be able to Export from a Sequence, the Black Video to match your Project Presets and then Import that .AVI, etc., into the Project, to replace the synthetic Video. I do not think that you'll have any problem doing this from a Sequence in CS4, or you could use the old material.
I'm thinking, but can't come up with any new tests to make you run. Thanks for trying the stuff I've thrown at you, and sorry that we're not any closer to the cause, than when you posted.
Good luck,
Hunt

[KDE] Img viewer fullscreen backgrd color dark grey instead of black

I've noticed that while running native qt image viewers in KDE to view images in full-screen mode the background color is set to dark grey instead of pure black. If a run a gtk image viewer I get a black background.
In xfce4 this is corrected since most qt image viewers will display a black background, with the exception gwenview.
This leaves me wondering if there is some setting I must fiddle with...

That slider only affects the color of the background in non-fullscreen mode, at least on my end...
edit: furthermore just tried the Fedora Live CD and this issue is not present. So I can only conclude something must be wrong with KDE setup...

Cs5 having probems with red footage plays back as black video

pc is running a 2.66 quad core with 6 gig of ram and a 8800gtx nvidia graphics card so sholdnt be a problem ive tried playing at 1/4 res but dosent change anything

It sure sounds like you have something set wrong. I have no idea what it could be.
Try downloading some different .r3d files and see if you have the same problem.

Looking at your system details, it doesn't look like you've got the Adobe Flash Plugin installed. Try following the instructions here: [[How do I install the Flash plugin?]]

2009 mac mini crashes w/black screen & color bar

Just purchased the 2ghz mini with 1gb of ram, I installed another ram stick w/2gb. Mini crashes sometimes frequently with a black screen covering most of the desktop with just a little bit of the desktop showing at the top and a thin bar of colors on top of the black screen.
Anybody have this problem? Is it bad ram, bad video card, should I use the mini display port instead of the mini dvi port? Should I take it back, can I take it back having installed the ram myself?
Any thoughts is appreciated

Well since the RAM is the thing out of the ordinary on a new Mac, it is suspect. Unfortunately you have voided your warranty by opening the mini. The user guide for the new mini states in a couple of spots that there are no user serviceable parts and opening it voids the warranty. So your milage with Apple on the warranty may vary. And unless you are a pristine technician they will know you opened the Mac.
Since you have cracked it open once you may as well test the RAM. If it works fine with the original RAM module alone, then you know the issue is related to the new RAM. Could you have seated the RAM poorly? Where did you get the RAM? Crucial seems to have had some problems with their 2 GB RAM modules. Does it work with the new RAM alone?
And before a bunch of folks come storming in here to dispute my statement about voiding the warranty, another user with a new Early '09 Mac mini added RAM and then experienced an issue that would normally be covered under warranty. But he reported, in this very forum, that Apple told him he voided the warranty opening it himself and installing RAM and that they would no longer honor the warranty, so he would have to pay for the repair himself.

When i try to play Music or a video the volume comes up with full bars and a stop sign, how do i get back my volume?

When i try to play a music or video or anything the volume bars come up full but with a stop sign underneath, i don't know how to get back my sound.

The way that usually works best is to move the entire iTunes folder folder from the current location to X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of the external drive.
If you moved the iTunes Media folder "by hand" instead of using iTunes to relocate the media folder then:
Move the main iTunes folder to X:\iTunes
Move iTunes Media inside it as X:\iTunes\iTunes Media
Press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes
Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library.
(If iTunes opens normally/with an empty library close it and go back to step 3)
Click choose and open X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
If you still have a problem try my script FindTracks.

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video.

How come when I view flash videos my videos stop, but the audio plays and I see rainbow colored lines up and down the video. I attached a image below.

ATR, just to make sure you understand me, all my video clips in my folders appear as the first frame of the video clip when I view my folders as (small, medium, large)icons instead of lists, when saved as .avi files but when saved as .mp4 files, those icons display as a graphic icon of filmstrip with a musical note on it. I do have various other methods to open with (quick time, windows media, winamp or real player) but prefer real player because I like it's quick and easy trimmer that comes along with it, since so many of my videos are just pet antics where you need to clip off the boring beginning and ends of the video.
I did go on a few of the icons and right clicked, Open With, and tried quick time and also Windows Media and it did nothing as far as how the file was saved for display, and they opened the same no matter which player I used...the actual video opens and plays right at it's first frame... but it's the way it is visually displayed in STORAGE that bugs me because it isn't immediately apparent to me what it is a video of (weddings, outside the house, pet antics)... it makes me have to actually title things and read titles where before I let it just be dates because I had the visual of that first frame as a reference. Obviously, this is a problem for unedited videos only, as anything I actually work with, I do give a title along with the date of the video.
I also just realized this seems to be the way ALL videos that are wrapped in .mp4 are displayed, as my bloggie camera's videos appear the same way. Now I know why! My other videos display as .avi's so I see the frame. Puzzle solved. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, as it seems to be how things display with the various formats.
Now I need to watch some tutorials to learn how this Premiere program works! It's all new to me, since this is the first time I've been able load any of my videos onto it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to trim on it yet!

White bars instead of black?

If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it. I'm not sure how/why this started happening, but when I watch movies online I now see WHITE bars above and below the film instead of BLACK ones as I did before. White ones are a bit blinding and highly annoying. Does anyone know anything about this? Please help! Thanks so much!
Rosie

I second this question... My eyes have trouble focusing when their are two white lights above and below videos. I would like to know how to change it to black where my eyes wont have to work to see those darker scenes. Kind of makes turning off the lights during movies useless too.

How do I add color bars and black leader to beginning of sequence?

I am exporting a film as a Motion JPEG A file for my post sound guy and need to put a minute of black, followed by a minute of color bars, followed by 30 seconds of black at the beginning of the movie. I can't figure out how to do this since the only way I know of to add color bars is in the "print to video" or "edit to tape" functions. Any ideas?

Color bars can be generated a variety of ways - easiest is to go to the Effects tab, then "video generators" then choose "color bars' (I think you can choose w/or w/o tone) and drag it to your sequence's timeline. Then add slug for black leader amount you want (you can increase/decrease it as needed)

Print to Tape color bars and black order

Hello. i'm about to print a videoclip for a tape. my question is the following, in the print to video setup theres is the option for color bars and black.. but the color bars come first and then the black. i would like to have the black first for 2 minutes and then color bars for 30 seconds..how can i do that?

I want full control over how things happen. As an added benefit, by keeping everything in the sequence timeline, I have the ability to use a custom countdown clock.

Can I show a color bar instead of a color bullet in iCal Monthly view for all my events in all calendars?

In the Monthly view of iCal the only events that show a color bar in the event is the Birthday Calendar. All other events in all my other calendars only show a color bullet next to the event (unless I click on that event which then shows as a color bar). I would like to know if it is possible for all the calendar events to have a color bar in the monthly view instead of just that tiny color bullet.

Greetings Judith,
Before making any attempts at deleting calendar data, backup what you have just in case:
Click on each calendar on the left hand side of iCal one at a time highlighting it's name and then going to File Export > Export and saving the resulting calendar file to a logical location for safekeeping.
iCal has an automated function located in iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events "X" days after they have passed. By typing in a value for days you can tell iCal to delete all events before that time frame.
Example:
Today is 4-16-2012.
If I wanted to delete all events prior to 1 year ago (4-16-2011) I would type in "365" for the number of days.
Once you type in the number of days you want kept in iCal, close the preferences and then quit iCal.
Re-open iCal and check to see if the events are gone. If not you may want to leave it open for several minutes and then quit again.
Once the events are removed go back to iCal > Preferences > Advanced > Delete events "X" days after they have passed and make sure the check mark is removed to prevent future deletion.
Hope that helps.

Hi 22chill,
I recommend that we delete and re-download the movie from your purchase history:

My play lists and songs on iTunes and on my iPhone won't play. They are light grey instead of black and nothing happens when I click on the songs. All of the songs were either from CD's or from iTunes that I purchased. I have home sharing turned on. This is a new issue. It used to work fine. I tried restarting my iPhone and syncing with iTunes. Neither worked. Please help!

Try delete those songs using iTunes by de-selecting and sync. After that mark those songs and sync again.

Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

Nichelle,
You must add your own background object, and then make it Black.
Insert > Shape > Rectangle
In the Wrap Inspector, set to Floating.
In the Graphic Inspector, set Stroke to None and set Fill to Black.
Grab the corners of the document and stretch the document to cover the entire page.
Back in the Wrap Inspector select "In Background".
Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.

Jerry
