Dropped 4S--Green Screen

I dropped my 4S (luckily it's in a rubber case) back-down on a tile floor from a couple feet up, and the screen turned green with the top few lines of pixels flickering. I rebooted it and all is well now, but should I be worried about future problems? Also, any idea exactly what caused this?

Might want to take it in a store and have the genius run a hardware diagnostic on it. If there is something wrong, you would rather to know it now (while you are under AppleCare) than later.

Completely White screen when using green screen

I have successfully used the Green Screen feature in the past but I am having some problems with it now. When I drop a Green Screen clip onto a back ground the play back shows no image and the screen is completely white. What is happening and how do I correct it?

Many thanks for this - I had checked them previously, but switched off, unplugged everything and then reconnected - all up and working again. Best Rgds

TS3274 i dropped my ipad and now i have a "green screen" how do i fix this?

i dropped my ipad and now i have a "green screen" how do i fix this?

If it's an iPad 2, it's old enough to be out of warranty. Courcoul's suggestion to trade it in for a new one is ok if you are in the market. If not and you want to take a risk - and possibly a big one at that - others have reported a pretty extreme solution to this problem. Slap it on the back.
I know, I know. It's sounds crazy, but there are several threads here claiming it works.
Here is just one of them. You can do a search to find others.

I CAN'T DROP GREEN SCREEN VIDEO ONTO IMAGE IN IMOVIE 11

I can't drag a green screen video on top of an image in imovie 11

I found it. Had to put Advanced Tools on in Preferences. Thanks anyway.

Please answer once and for all the boot green screen

I have searched everywhere for an answer since my issue.
Relevant info:
iPhone 3GS.
iTunes version 10.7.0.21 (2012-09-12).
Doesn't matter what system I have since this is related to an iPhone device.
Fully charged battery before proceeding with the update.
Updated the iOS 5.1.1 of the iPhone to iOS 6.0 through required update recommendation of iTunes.
Never been abused, jailbroken, serviced or dropped. (never had issues until the update)
Once completed the updated process of iTunes and iPhone was done with the internal installation, the iPhone rebooted with a green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver". It loaded up to the iPhone Configure screen still with green color screen/hue.
I pressed on the power button for 5 seconds and slide "slide to power off" and the iPhone turned off. I waited about 15 seconds and pressed on the power button to turn the iPhone back on, hoping no more green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver" but returned to the original green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver".
Failed!
It still showed green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver" and booted to the iPhone Configure screen still with green color screen/hue.
Remedies tried after searching the internet:
Hard Restart/Reset.
DFU Mode. (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Recovery Mode (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Recovery from Backup is denied because previous version was iOS 5.1.1 and iTunes refuses the process so (even tried a restore process with iTunes again *so much time wasted to obtain the iOS download again*
Left the iPhone at the Configure screen until battery drained and then plugged it back into the USB port of system until it charged long enough for the iPhone to boot yet again green screen/hue and the apple logo was still original color "silver". It booted to the iPhone Configure screen which is still the green screen/hue and I left it charging until battery icon top right showed full.
Now, can someone give a straight answer while staying on this topic about this issue, please?
*I can understand if the apple logo was green then it could be a screen issue but it is not the case.
All help is greatly appreciated even if you took the time to read all of this but did not answer.
Thank you!

I made a CF/Flex site based on the Flexstore sample app,
using a database instead of XML as the data source; in case you
want to see it:

At first I had troubles similar to what you describe;
initially, part of the problem was that my hosting company had not
yet upgraded to CF 7.02. One other thing I had to correct: when you
upload to your server, upload the entire ‘bin’ (or
whatever your output folder is) minus the debug SWF.
If it would help with other issues, contact me and I will be
glad to make my project code available to you. Good luck.

Green Screen Problems, Please Help!

I'm experiencing problems with the greenscreen effects of iMovie 09. I really need help. What happens is when I drag the clip ontop of the other clip, I click green screen. Then play the clip and see just a few reen dots, not the green screen footage. If you need a link to the footage its http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAFMRKsoX5E. Please help, as this is one of the main reasons I bought a Mac.

the material you're linking to is in a .flv container (and downloading it violates the ToU of YouTube, just to mention that )
after re-wrapping it into a suitable format, works like charme:
… aside missing drop shadows, wrong perspective, missing highlights,
and somehow the dino is a lil' bit 'opaque'
how or into what did you convert the t-rex.flv?

Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work?

Has anyone actually got the Green Screen feature to work? I've been trying for about 8 hours, absolutely no success. I have followed the iMovie Help instructions and the examples on the internet, over and over again. I've tried every imaginable variation on the instructions. Nothing from my green movie shows up. The green in my video is pure green - 100% green, 0% red and 0% blue. Yet the non-green images in the video aren't getting displayed at all. Several other people have mentioned a similar problem on these forums and they are all "unanswered". Is that because this is an unsolvable problem? Is it an iMovie bug? Sigh. I'm a big fan of Apple but stuff like this gives them a bad name.

After several more hours of diagnosis I have identified some conditions which can make Green Screen slightly work (but not much). The condition is as follows. The green screen clip must be carefully dropped at the beginning of a video clip, such that at least the first two seconds of the green screen clip (no less, but no more or the clip will become attached to the previous clip and then it's broken again) are displayed over the PREVIOUS video clip. But the green screen will not work on the previous clip, only on the second clip. So you will always lose the first two seconds of the green screen video. It took me a lot of experimenting to discover this anomaly.
Clearly this is a bug, but since not all users on the internet experience this bug, (some online videos shows that Green Screen actually works as advertised) it's most likely related to the video card driver. My video card is an ATI 4870. If you have such a card, there's probably no hope that you can get this feature to work unless Apple fixes the driver or possibly the iMovie application, or you use my tricky workaround.

Nokia Lumia 928 camera & video has a green screen

I just recently got my new phone and the camera was working great as I have 5 kids and enjoy taking thier pictures and uploading them so family can see however this week when I attempted to take a photo the camera went to a green screen when I pressed the side camera button. I have not dropped or done anything to damage the phone so I am puzzled as to why it all of a sudden stopped working. I have only taken maybe 30 photos so far. I even went into the setting mode under applications to the photos + camera tab and reset the camera, uunfortunatly it did not help.
Does anyone know what can be done to fix this or what may help?

Power down the phone....press and hold the power button till you get the "Slide down to power off" screen, and power it off. Then restart it and you should be fine. It's happened to several (check other forums.... )
It happened to mine too, once since I've had it. A reboot fixes it and it hasn't happened since.

I was making a movie on iMovie, and the green screen wasn't working.

I was making a movie on iMovie, and was trying to use the green screen to make a split screen. I pressed on the green screen button, but the second clip didn't play next to the first, and only the audio played. I tried agian with some different clips, and only some of them worked. This hasn't happened before! I was just wondering why this would be happening and what I should do? (I am using iMovie '09)

Hi
YOU need to - in iMovie - Turn on Advanced Tools !
top row menu - with an Apple top left ---> iMovie ---> down to preferences ---> Here select to turn on Advanced tools .
Now it will work when You drop a clip onto another IN a MOVIE PROJECT ! (can not be done in Event's)
Next problem I had - was to get right clip onto the other - what was the Background and What was the Green screen - BUT just test - You only got two ways to try out.

Green Screen Fix

I have a green screen whenever I try to watch any video on my laptop. This just started within the last couple days. I tried right-clicking on "Settings" when in the video, but there's no place that allows me to enable "hardware acceleration". How can I fix this?

Green screen (99.99999% of the time) is caused by either outdated or corrupted video drivers. Even if they're up to date, that can be corrupted.
Update them from the manufacturer, NOT Windows update:
identify the manufacturer and type of your video card
open Device Manager: Start | Run | enter devmgmt.msc
open the Display Adapters drop-down; this will show you the installed video card:
identify the device driver version
right-click on your display adapter entry and select Properties
click on the Driver tab; this will show you the driver version and date:
go to the device manufacturer's support site and download the latest driver
NVIDIA cards: NVIDIA driver download page, or auto-detect
ATI cards: ATI driver download page, or auto-detect
Intel cards: Intel driver download page, or auto-detect
Matrox cards: Matrox driver download page
VIA cards: VIA Arena driver download page (redirects to 3rd-party download site)
SiS cards: SiS driver download page, or auto-detect
S3 cards: S3 driver download page, or auto-detect (option 2 on the download page)
follow the instructions on the manufacturer's support site
Note: some of the auto-detect utilities linked above will only run on Internet Explorer.

Green screen titles no longer work

I have created a movie in iMovie 09 and used titles I made with Power Point. In Power Point, I created a fully green slide, then placed text and pictures on it and then saved the picture as .png or .tiff using a screen capture. This picture I dropped on a video fragment and used green screen to put it in the fragment. This works perfectly in one of my projects, but not in any other project. I have compared the project on all possible aspects, but cannot find any differences. Green screen does work when I use a video fragment with green in it. Does anyone recognize this? Thx in advance for the response!!

Try checking your defaults under PROJECT PROPERTIES, then TIMING, then look at Initial Photo Placement. If it's set on Ken Burns, then it should work. For some reason, if you set it on CROP or FIT IN FRAME it just turns your Green from transparent to GREEN, or your Transparent Png, to BLACK.
After you Ken burns it, you can just make it so your start frame and end frame are the same.
I found this out when I was bringing in Transparent png titles and Watermarks.
Stupid iMovie.

How do I superimpose graphic in EDITED green screen video?

I know that I can throw a graphic in my project and then take a video from the event library and drop it over, choosing green screen in contextual menu. What I'm having a MAJOR issue with is how do it with an EDITED video. It appears that once I combine the graphic and unedited video, I can no longer cut/edit it once it's added in the project and I obiously can't do that in the event library either, so what are my options?
Essentially I have two projects saved (neither avaible in the event library because the video has been edited and the graphic cannot exist in the event library). IS IT POSSIBLE to combine the two so that the graphic becomes the green screen background? Because if it is, I can't figure it out and so far, from my online search, neither can anyone else.

Possible to replace this green screen without masking?

So here's what I'm working with:
What I ultimately need to do is replace that green screen with some video footage. But there are a few problems that make this not all that straight forward...
It starts off with nothing on top of it, but the photos are gradually placed around it (all while the camera is "swimming").
I'm tracking it in Mocha, no problem. And getting the corner pin data in there to properly place the footage is easy.
But what I'm having issue with is replacing that green screen footage so that the photos show up "on top" of the video. I've got the drop-in video on one layer, then the source footage on top of it and I key it out so the video shows up underneath it.
But if I just do a basic key on that top footage, I end up screwing it up because of all the tweaks I need to do to get a good key while keeping details like shadows.
So, is there a way to do it, without creating a precise mask around all the green? The mask would have to be generated in Mocha, I assume, since all these photos are being laid on top of it...meaning I'd need to track them as well.

This isn't the most meticulously-planned shot I've ever seen, sad to say. For instance, one of those cards added to the shot actually has some green in it.
Think about trying to green screen Kermit The Frog.
To salvage it, I'd make a precision mask on a solid around the green card, motion track it into place for whatever kind of motion "swimming" describes, and use it as a track matte to fill up the green. I'd use Rotobrush to create masks for the cards being placed in the shot. I'd fake the shadows.
No keys.

Green Screen Video not working audio working

Hey everyone I just installed imovie 09 and I'm having issues with the green screen effect. I know it's probably one button that I can't find, but never the less I need some help. I followed the instructions to the T to use the effect and I even made a green back drop. The problem is when I overlay that clip on top of the background clip the video goes bye bye, but I can still hear all the audio from the clip. Can someone help?

Have you turned on Advanced Tools in iMovie Preferences?
When you drag and drop your greenscreen footage onto your background video (or photo), do you get a pop-up contextual menu that lets you choose green screen?
