External video doesn't play but only shows still frame (some times).

When trying to view a clip or sequence on my external video monitor (NTSC via firewire through Sony converter box) and only for some of my projects, I cannot get the video to play. It displays a single frame and then updates when I stop playing a clip on the desktop. I've selected "all frames" in the External video option, but I cannot get it to play real time. This only happens with certain clips or sequences. Any ideas what's up?

I've been having this same issue. I'm pretty sure it has to do with one of my sequence settings. I have no issues when I'm playing back an SD project but when I try to playback an HD project to an SD monitor I encounter thsi problem where it stays locked on the last frame I paused at. I'm using a Blackmagic Decklink Extreme HD and attempting to playback over composite.
Thanks

External Video - No longer plays video...? Only shows single frames

Hey all - thanks for stopping by! I am hoping for help as soon as possible!
So I've been doing fine on my project up until I did the FCS 2008-03 update today... ugh (I know I shouldn't have).
I use 2 monitors; one for my timeline, etc. the other for full screen playback. It's worked swimmingly for the past month. Now, it will only play a single frame back - wherever my playhead is, generally. But takes a second to refresh.
I have external video set to "all frames" and have refreshed the external devices, restarted, reverted to QT 7.5, etc.
What can I do to get back to where it was working?
A black magic card is installed but I'm not capturing anything right now. Will that still affect it?
Thanks to all who stop by

Try all these?
Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
CUTTING SO YOU ONLY SEE THE TROUBLESHOOTING THINGS
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.

Video tutorials will play, but only for 2 seconds

Before it will pause on its own and I will press play and it will do this only twice before it reverts back to the beginning-again on its own. I tested this on 10 separate videos so it can't be the videos. Is this a quicktime problem or some sort of bug?

Ok try this then :
- Close iTunes
- Go to /home/Library/Preferences and move the file called com.apple.itunes.plist to the trash
- Launch iTunes
If it works, you can delete the file from your trash but you'll have to go through your preferences again. If it doesn't, restore it to its initial location.

HT1657 What can I do if my rented movie doesn't play and only shows a black screen?

I just rented a movie and even though it completely finished downloading it will not play properly. No sound and no picture, just a blank, black screen.
thanks for any help.

If it's a power-on password set in the BIOS of the laptop, there's no way to remove it without professional servicing. If it's a hard drive password, the hard drive would need to be replaced. I'm sorry.

On Export, getting audio but only one still frame of video

I am trying to export a .mov file to a QT file to reduce overall size, and each time I do the export, I get all of the audio fine, but the video is just a still picture of the first frame. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? I've tried tinkering with the export settings, but nothing seems to work.

You, like the OP whose thread this is, fail to say
what the source video info is or if it even plays
before trying to reprocess it to H264.
oh! Sorry for not informing about the source video. The source video was a QuickTime video compressed with H.264 and audio with AAC.
Interesting settings- why is the output so tiny?
160X120 is pretty small.
I was encoding this to put it as an inset video.
BTW, I could encode it with Movie to MPEG-4 settings.

Help! Quicktime Movies playing only five still frames

When I try and play quicktime movies on my PC (Windows Vista) they play back with sound, but only five still frames from the movie play on the screen. How do i fix the problem?
I'm running windows vista and Quicktime 7.3.1. The problem shouldn't be the video card as all my other video player applications playback fine.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
I have found the solution to this problem I presented.
Sorry, I didn't realize that a computer monitor cannot support these images accurately.
http://library.creativecow.net/articles/rossshane/fcpfaq.php
I had a Canopus ADVC-110 sitting right here.
Plugged it up to the TV,
and the images appeared fine.
But this brings up one more question:
Is there a way to have all these images from Final Cut accurately displayed on a computer monitor ?
I've got a lot of more of them around than TVs . . .
Sorry to have bothered you with this, but I would appreciate further information on displaying the images on a computer monitor.
Thanks !

i have problem in FCP while playback in Sony TV, it only shows freedge frame, Video can play smoothly in FCP but in TV it shows only Freedge frame.

Come on gents and gentesses...... I'm really sweating on this one. Can't properly display my combined audio and pic when showing the Timeline contents of FCP in the MacPr's TV monitor Only the pic is appearing without any proper sound, as reported above. Just a mono row.
Does nobody have any idea on the problem or am I too far up to date with the MacPro and FCP 5.1.4 for even Apple to let me in on the way to rectilfy. Bloomin' upgrades...... !

hope someone can help!

May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget. I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field, the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you.
Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

When I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

Suddenly now when I rec videos with iPhone 5 the sound doesn't exist but only a annoying noise..WHY?!

Only songs that are physically stored on the iOS device can be deleted with a swipe. Songs that have been listened to, and are in the temporary cache, apparently can not be deleted with a swipe. The easiest way to get rid of these songs is to go to Settings > General > Usage, tap Music (you may need to scroll down in the list), swipe across "all music" then tap the delete button. This will delete ALL music on the device.
Also, iCloud and iTunes Match are not the same service.

Youtube videos doesn't play until fully loaded

Youtube videos doesn't play until they are fully loaded. It doesn't work for ANY streamed video, not just Youtube. It happens on both Firefox and IE. I tried to uninstall Flash and re-install it, but it didn't help. The only thing that solves it is restarting the computer, but it just returns after some time.
How can I fix it?

Hi, This is the info on the hardware acceleration and system requirements. http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
The video card affects playback:Although Flash Player can display high-quality video and images by itself, hardware-accelerated scaling uses the video or graphics card on your computer to display images and video more clearly and quickly than Flash Player can on its own.
Not everyone can use it and that's why turning it off helps. Since you have it turned off, then this no longer affects you.
They may be some add on in the browser that is causing this. Kaspersky had been using a URL Advisor that is an "extension"
but whether you have it I don't know. In IE, in the manage add ons, look for "Show"(very light text) and look in all 4 categories for it.
In FF, it may be in the extensions. I'd look in all, addons, plugins & extenstions.
If you find it, disable it. If you don't find it, then all I could suggest is to disable all IE add ons except Shockwave Flash Object and Java and see it there is an improvement. Then do the same with FF.
Hope you find out what is causing it.
Thanks,

Video doesn't play on internet

Hey Good People,
I have been scratching my head trying to figure out why this Flash video doesn't play. I checked to make sure it is in the correct format. I've tried FLV and H.264 neither of which plays. The custom play button appears and the alpha goes to 0 when clicked but the video doesn't play. It works in the flash environment and on my desktop when I dropped it into an html shell. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to make this work?

You should use Flash debug version. When you do, you will se a security error:

Playing movie on tv; playing but not showing up; what output, DVD?

1st time trying to play movie on tv; playing but not showing up; do I need to change output? Only DVD & DVR shown. Thx

You need to provide more information. How are you connecting your iPad to the TV. Are you using an Apple TV 2, a component AV cable, a composite AV cable or the digital AV cable?

Video playback on external monitor only producing still frame

I am trying to use a HD TV as a playback device as managed to get it to work, however it has now stopped working and only produces a still frame. When I hit play it will play fine in the timeline but display only a still frame on the second monitor. I have made sure that the settings under video playback are set to full screen and that mirroring is turned off.
Even when I play back on Main the image on the main monitor only displays a still frame until the second monitor is unplugged.
Am I missing something?

How is the TV connected?
If via firewire and an analog/DV converter, are you feeding the HDTV something other than a DV signal? If so, it won't work.

Video doesn't play while audio does during playback

I use FCE 1.0.1 and since I upgraded to Leopard I have had a little problem. When I put the video setting in Fire-Wire, it plays fine with audio playing through my camcorder. But when I put the video setting in Real Time to play the audio through my speakers, the video doesn't play while the audio is playing fine. After 5 or 6 seconds, the audio stops playing too.
My G5 is a single 1.8 GHz processor and I am running 10.5.1
Anything?

I appreciate your insight with this. If I could ask one more set of questions; Would you recommend the "upgrade" linked below or the Full version? And what will be the practical differences for me the user?
I have started a new project in version 1.0.1 (capturing and a few edits, etc) since upgrading to Leopard. Will all of my work be there with either upgrade or full version after install?
Thanks so much.
