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
Specs:
FCP 6.0.4
QT 7.5
10.4.11
G5 2GHz
2.5 GB DDR SDRAM

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.

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

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...... !

I can no longer play videos on my Mac mini.

I got a new magic mouse for Christmas. I connected it to my Mac mini Lion. It works great but I can no
longer play videos like from YouTube. I just see a black screen. Even the start triangle does not show up.
This is date coincident with installing the new mouse.
Does anybody have a clue what is going on here?
Thanks in advance.

The Magic Mouse and YouTube videos don't have anything to do with each other. I switch between my Magic Mouse and my track pad all day, and it has no effect on YouTube.
YouTube playback is browser and Flash Player related.
Check your Safari Security preferences to be sure that Plugins are allowed.
Worst case, do a "clean Install" of Flash Player. Instructions (with illustrations) are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1343084

Bloomberg video no longer plays since last system or Java update - I do not recall which.

In last 45 days or so, Bloomberg video no longer plays.
This is the result of a system or Java update - I do not recall which. I've tried all the tips that Bloomberg has suggested to no avail... and they are no longer assisting me! Please help, friends. I've been a Macintosh user since 1986 (really!), please help, friends.

Do you use Glimmerblocker, or any other advert/content/security blocking/filtering software ?
Yes, I use Sophos. But, recall that with another browser (Chrome), video plays fine. So the issue is not with Sophos per se.
Safari-Preferences-Extensions is set to OFF ?
I just turned Safari-Preferences-Extensions to OFF. Video will sill not play.
Regarding;"
check System Preferences - Flash Player - Storage tab to see that 'allow sites to save information..." is on.
In the Advanced tab - click 'delete all' ?"
I did this, but, I an unable to delete all the Site Data; I get an error box: "Flash Player was unable to delete all local storage. The files may be locked by another program. Close all browsers or restart your computer, and try again."
I get this error even with all the browsers are closed.
I think this points to our bug: Only in my Mac OS user profile and only in Safari there seems to be some Flash Player file which is either 'open' or 'locked' to deleting.
Where could that pesky file be????

Video no longer plays in the project

I looked all over for this same problem, but could not find another discussion on it. I have created several projects, (iMovie 09) the video and audio worked fine. I had to have pushed some button, but now the video no longer plays on any of my projects. The audio works fine. Tried rebooting, ran permissions..nothing. Please someone help.

Hi
I stumbled on the same problem as you. For me everything got messed up after trying to preview my project in fullscreen. Just got a blank black screen and now I can't ad titles or preview the clips! The most annoying thing is that I'm almost finished with the video I spent 4 hours on!
Anyone here now what the cause of this problem can be? Seems like many here have stumbled on it a few times
Edit: Just noticed my whole project seems to be done for! I can't even change the themes and when trying to change the settings of the clips it says "no clips selected" even when I can see they are in my project!? This is really frustrating.

Video no longer plays from sites on comedy central. Site says browser must be updated, but I have installed all updates and restarted the computer..twice.

Video no longer plays from sites on comedy central. Site says browser must be updated, but I have installed all updates and restarted the computer..twice.

If it is any consolation this started happening to me today. I am in Toronto. I am wondering if there is a copyright issue here. I have done nothing to solve it - mostly because I suspect this has nothing to do with my computer.
p.s. My speculation about copyright is not correct. Comedy Central plays fine with Google Chrome. Have not yet tested Firefox.

Help! video no longer plays in iPhoto, why is that?

Made no changes to settings, but now the video that I keep in iPhoto 09 suddenly no longer plays video. It's unassociated with Quicktime for some reason. How to fix? thanks for your help!

Are you still running OS X 10.4 or some version of Tiger?
Can you export the movie, Format=Original, to the Desktop and open it with Quicktime there, either by double clicking on the movie file or dragging it onto the Quicktime Player application?
If you can open the movie by dropping it on the QT Player application then try the following:
1 - select the movie and type Command+i to bring up its Info Window.
2 - go to the Open With menu and select Quicktime Player.
3 - click on the Apply to All button.
4 - reboot.
5 - open iPhoto and try playing a movie.
