Export black screen

Hi, i have a problem, im trying to export my sequence of almost 2 hrs, i exported 2 mins of it just to check how is it gonna look, the 2 mins export looks great, but! when i export the entire sequence it shows a black screen. i have no audio in my project.
My guess is that i need to render the entire sequence, but this lead to another Q, why is this happening now, i had worked with a similar project before, never rendered, and worked!
Thx in advance!

thanks for the quick reply! ok... where to start.
i have a coktail of videos here, some of em are SD 480 (720x480) and others are 480 (854x480) and another of 360 (360x288) and another of 320x240, but all of em are diferent in fps from 18.18 to 30... i guess here is the leak, my sequence is set to 25fps, could that be it? what should i do in this cases that i have a mix of fps and ratio?
the source vids are H.264-AAC.flv i have Pr pro cs5.5, mac os X 10.7.5
here are screenshots from my sequence and export settings
thanks again

Final cut X - bad export black screen

Hello.
Export a black background with FinalCut X or Motion5 is unacceptable. Instead, I have a black color is still green and jaggedscreen. Black screen I am doing by shifting or adding clip black rectangle.

It's not clear to me from your post whether you've already checked Prevent App Nap.
If Media Encoder is also taking a long time, I also wonder about the media in your project. What formats are you using in the event for both video and audio? Anything unusual in the way of imported graphics?
Also, have you installed any third party software, including plug-ins, since the time when FCP was running OK?

Motion not exporting video, just a black screen

I am creating some scrolling text in Motion and when I export the file I am using the same setting I always have. It is a quicktime movie and I am using the current project and canvas settings. I haven't changed anything but after a few times of exporting scrolling text it only shows a black screen in the exported file. The first few work fine. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

I've seen this problem off and on again for so long now I consider it a feature and not a bug. I have no idea what causes it as I've seen it happen with different versions of Motion, under different versions of the OS on different Macs.
The solution for me is to export as an Animation file when this happens. Nothing else works from reinstalling to trashing the com.apple.motion.plist file.
I've also never ever ever had a .motn file in FCP's timeline render as anything but pure black. Even trying it on different machines in different editing suites. It just doesn't work and never has for me.

Black screen appears after exporting to Quicktime movie

I'm having trouble exporting a time-lapse video to a QT movie. The screen is always black when I try to watch the finished product. Here's what I'm doing:
I import the jpeg files into QT 7 Pro using "Open Image Sequence." At this point I'm able to watch the video in QT. Now I want to export it to a QT movie so I can import that file into iMovie. From "File," I choose "Export>Movie to QuickTime Movie." I check the Options button to view the Settings and Size. Settings show compression is Apple Intermediate Codec, with Frame Rate set to "Current." Size is HD 1280 x 720, with the "Preserve Aspect Ratio" box checked. I give the file a name, hit "Save" and it begins to export.
When that's done, I go to my desktop and click on the newly created movie file, which opens in QT version 10.1. However, the movie shows up as a black screen.
Can anyone spot the error in what I'm doing? It's got to be something simple. I've created a time-lapse using these steps (I think) before, so I don't think there's a bug in the program anywhere. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Btw...My OS is 10.7.4. I'm also not trying to create a movie with an audio component -- this is only video.

Not exactly an error, but I do have a question. If you are sourcing JPEG images to an image sequence file which creates a QT Photo JPEG compression file which is already import/edit compatible with iMovie and currently plays in the QT 7 Player correctly without a "black screen" problem, why are you exporting the data to the AIC compression format instead of simply saving the Photo JPEG sequence file and importing it directly to iMovie?

Exporting "Youtube HD" Preset results in no video just black screen

Hello,
I am a new user to Premiere CS5. I made a short video and would like to put it online in HD for youtube and vimeo. I shot the footage using a Canon DSLR t2i in HD at 24fps.
I am trying to export it in order to upload it to youtube and I tried to the preset under H.264 that is called Youtube HD. When it finished I went to watch the video and it was just a black screen but the audio worked fine. The Export video box is checked so it is not that.
I exported using Quicktime Format but the quality was a little worse. I am now trying HDTV format to see how that turns out.
Is there something I can do to make the Youtube HD preset work correctly? I imagine that's the best option for uploading to youtube.
Thanks!

Thanks for replying =)

CS4: Flashing black screens between clips after exporting

I'm having some trouble with a particular project when exporting video, and I can't seem to track down the cause. The primary problem is flashing black screens between clips, with the additional problem of occasionally having a clip that I fade to be completely black (ie, the first clip just fades to black instead of fading to the second clip).
I say "occasionally" because the problem seems to migrate depending on what I do to try to fix it. I've noticed that if I shift the clips .1 seconds one way or another where there is a black screen, it will sometimes fix the problem, but when I fix one of them the exact same problem will pop up in another place where it didn't exist before. I can also export a few seconds of video where the problem occurs independently of the rest of the project and the issue won't occur, but will then reoccur in the same place if I export the project as a whole. All of the video is from the same source and is in the same format (.MOV from a Canon 7D). I've edited plenty of other stuff from the same source on the same computer, and the only other time I've seen this problem it's been fixed by just shifting the clips a little bit in the timeline as mentioned above. If anyone can suggest ANYTHING I can try to troubleshoot this problem I'd really appreciate it, because right now this is driving me up the wall.

I've been exporting to h.264 exclusively so far. Below is a screenshot of where one of the offending screens appears between the two clips on the timeline (the yellow in the bar up top is there because I had stepped that clip back .1 seconds like I mentioned earlier and not re-renered the sequence). I've also verified that this particular spot shows no black screen on the Program Monitor - it's a completely smooth jump from one cut to another. Please let me know if you see anything that might be causing this!

Export to MOV adds 4sec of black screen?

So I exported my Keynote files to MOV format and it just adds a 4 sec of black screen at the end. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Settings were Fixed Timing (5s for slide, 2s for build), no repeats, no enter full screen.

Is this a custom video size or the standard FLV output size?
Most likely, the custom size is the issue.
Do you get the same result if you use the default output size?

Black screens on export HD Iphotos

I work my photos and my slide shows on Iphoto, then I pass on Aperture, to resume(to take back) slide shows to export them in HD to establish(constitute) on Imovie the movie with videos. I wanted to pass on Aperture altogether but as he(it) is abandoned(given up), I did not wish to put a lot on this software more profoundly. This system gave me satisfaction until recently.
In January, on the basis of a new library(bookcase) grouping(including) that my photos of a journey: 2000 photos and 950 restraints in 10 slide shows (I split to avoid problems further to the size of files), I realized the export of slide shows. Black screens substitute themselves for photos on more than 10 % of photos without any peculiarity ( the same camera).I made numerous tests by creating a new library(bookcase), by validating a sample of my original photos which are in screen black in a new treatment(processing) Iphoto. The problem is dice iphoto in the export 480 in 1080 but correct at the level of the IPhone export.
Identical result(profit) with MacBook Pro of 2014 (mine is of the end of 2009). I tried with another pimp which was still on Mavericks and there, my files are OK in all exports of Iphoto. The problem, this pimp had no Aperture and I cannot import him(it) because is asked the platform Yosemite.
The problem adorned me to be in the compatibility of Yosemite with Iphotos and can being Aperture.
In the Apple store of the Opera in bets they heard about it and indicates me that best is of detailed(retailed) my problem on the site and to wait for a return of Apple which will indicate to me if the correction is next. At the moment, I am blocked(surrounded).

You are not talking to Apple here, only to Apple users.
iPhoto is no longer in development and will not be updated further. It will be replaced with the new Photos app, in the spring.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $99
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

IMoviemobile export to Camera Roll will not play with quicktime on PC (video plays but with black screen, audio ok)

Videos created in iMovie on the new ipad will not play on PC with Quicktime after being exported to the Camera Roll and copied to the PC. Movie will play but with a black screen only. Audio ok. Was able to do before ios 6 but not now.

I'm having the same problem. All of the movies I export out of iMovie since upgrading to the latest version show up with no video, only audio, in Quicktime. Ironically the video place just fine in Windows Media Player and also in iTunes.

Black Screen when Exporting to Quicktime

I have a finished project - but when I try to export it to quicktime its always a black screen. Ive tried a bunch of different settings - but always the same result. Im sure theres something simple I am doing wrong. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

What were the project settings?
What version of FCP?
What camcorder?
How did you "export to quicktime?"
What "bunch of different settings" did you use for what?
We can't see these things from here, and your post has to detail what you did with what.

Premiere CS4 exported videos for ipod all show black screen when played

Hi,
I am trying to export a video for an ipod from an mp4 source file.
The project settings are set to ipod and so are the export settings. I get a normal video file (mp4) with the right resolution etc. The sync with itunes works without problems and i get the right thumbnail of the video in the Ipod menu.
But when i try to play the video i only get a black screen, the timer is running and i have sound.
I think i have tried all the possible settings. None of them worked.
Can you help me? Where is the problem?
Thank you

export to a regular .wmv file, or any other type you want.
now use a program like this one:
http://www.imtoo.com/ipod-movie-converter.html
If you have deep pockets you can try Sorenson Squeeze.
or you can try this one
http://www.xilisoft.com/ipod-video-converter.html
unfortunately this doesn't solve your problem the way you wish. ( a free fix )
I'd do a good Google search for answers, with some good keywords, and you may find
a solution that won't cost you anything.

Whenever I export my interactive indesign file to swf the videos won't play in the resulting html file, it's just a black screen. I'm using .mp4 videos as well.

Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?
Thank you

Unless you held down the Command key when dragging the iPhoto Library package to the flash drive you only copied the library. How is the flash drive formatted? If it was not OS X Extended (journaled) the integrity of the library's internal structure was probably compromised.
If you don't have a current backup of your library do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

ok, so I think I have foud a solution that works for me.
I created this file and added the following lines
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "uxa"
EndSection
I have shutdown 3 times and it has booted to the desktop everytime. When I remove this file and go back to sna it reproduces the error of the black screen.

Cursor and black screen on XFree86 server with DirectFb backend

Hi all.
I need to bring up lightweight XFree86 server with DirectFB as video backend on CE Linux (Intel Set Top Box). For now I've done following:
1. Compiled and tested DirectFB with multi application support (fusion library).
2. Compiled XFree86 with DirectFB as backend.
3. X based applications (xclock, for example) can be drawn from device on remote display after exporting DISPLAY variable.
4. XDirectFB server can be started successfully without errors.
I faced with following X server problems:
1. I can see only black display with active graphic mouse cursor once I started X server and any X application (xclock, for example). Its looks like application windows are drawn but invisible on a screen. When I moving mouse, cursor changes from arrow to resize or others icons.
2. When I try to use XFree86 as remote X server for drawing, client program issue XRandr command is not supported. Again I can see blank black screen and valid mouse cursor, which seems manage invisible windows.
3. XFree86 manuals points that X server uses configuration files /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config for video/input devices settings. Does XFree86 with DirectFB video backend use such configuration files? Which one? What video driver should I define there? I have tried both of configuration files without success. It seems X server ingoring them.
Appreciate advices, suggestions and visions.
Please note me if additional information requires.
Medvic.

I have discovered solutions for my problems (unfortunaly not causes). Hope this helps someone.
1. I can see only black display with active graphic mouse cursor once I started X server
I have found that XDirectFB binary accepts 'defaultOpacity' (default opacity for created top level windows)argument which can vary in <1-255> range. Value 1 corresponds to full invisibility windows state and 255 to zero opacity. It seems 255 is default value for opacity, but in my case screen still black/blank. I set 254 opacity and wow! Its a miracle - I can see windows!!!
2. When I try to use XFree86 as remote X server for drawing ... I can see blank black screen and valid mouse cursor
Now I can use my X server for rendering remote client's graphic applications.
3. ... Does XFree86 with DirectFB video backend use such configuration files? Which one? What video driver should I define there?
It seems indeed XDirectFB server doesn't use any configuration files. For my case X server normally starts without configuration files.
If you have any questions or need some clarifications, please contact me.
Regards, Medvic.

[SOLVED] black screen when connecting rdesktop to localhost

I am trying to set up my machine so I can remote into it via RDP.
When I run the command
rdesktop localhost
from my terminal rdesktop pops up. I choose sesman-Xvnc and type in my password and a plain black screen is all I get. Sometimes I'll get a message that says "Oh no Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. All extensions have been disabled as a precaution." It also gives me a log out button.
I have installed xrdp from the AUR via yaourt. I am using xrdp version 0.6.1-1, tigervnc 1.4.0-1, and rdesktop 1.8.3-1.
In trying to isloate the problem I tested tigervnc by running
vncserver
with the following xstartup configuration file in my /home/.vnc directory.
#!/bin/sh

I've tried restarting vncserver.service with systemctl and I get the same error.
Per the vncserver wiki I created a vncserver@:1.service file in /etc/systemd/system and enabled it. It starts and runs without a problem.
I have tried using the nouveau video drivers instead of the nvidia driver that I'm currently using and that produced a similar result but with a white square at the upper left hand corner of the rdesktop window.
I'm new to arch-linux and linux in general. I've been using it for about a month now and I've been able to solve all of my problems through using this forum, reading wikis and the man pages of command line programs. This one has me completely stumped.
I have no reason to believe the problem is related to xrdp or to rdesktop because the only errors or decent information I have been able to find about what could be going wrong has been the vncserver.service error shown above.
Last edited by willtech3 (2015-01-25 17:51:13)

Ok. I finally got this working. What I did was I created a file at /etc/systemd/system called vncserver@:4.service and set the user in the file to my username. Then I went into xrdp.ini which is located at /etc/xrdp and under [xrdp1], (which is for sesman-Xvnc ) I set the port value to 5904 which is the port that my vncserver@:4 service uses when its running.
Since xrdp uses tigervnc as its back end it was just a matter of pointing it to a running vncserver.
Don't I feel silly
Thanks Knute for your help. Your idea led me to the right answer.
