FCP 4: NTSC monitor image FROZEN/movie plays JITTERY in canvas window.

Hey guys. This started yesterday. Every time I hit play, the image from the frame I began playing at on the timeline remains frozen on my NTSC monitor, while the movie plays jittery, roughly, totally unsmoothly in the canvas window. I'm pretty sure I've tried all of Shane's answers, but right now I'm stuck. Any help is immensely appreciated.

Shane's stock answers addresses this, but make sure
that under the View mene that you are set to "All
Frames" and not "Single Frame"
Yeah, I had that covered from the beginning, but this sucker is stuck on whatever frame I begin to play from.

  • Viewing FCP on NTSC MONITOR

    In my days with PC I used to watch my timeling in Premier Pro on my NTSC monitor. I had a Matrox card with an outbox and connected the svideo out on the box to my monitor.
    Now in the Mac Pro I have dual outputs on my ATI Raden card and all I get on my NTSC is a duplicate screen.
    Is there no way to do this? No one at Apple is of any help with this.'
    Thankds

    There are plenty of A/D converters on the market, but they have nothing to do with the DVI ports. Those will just give you a second monitor to mirror or extend your computer display.
    What camera are you using? Most will convert the signal (FW to the camera, analogue out of the camera to the monitor) but there are some preferences in FCP that you have to set.
    For converters, check out the line from Canopus.

  • FCP to NTSC monitor solution help required

    Greetings,
    Please forgive me, this is my first foray into owning a Mac.
    I am getting started with Final Cut Pro, and am looking for a good way to capture analog sources, and output my FCP timeline to an NTSC monitor. My monitor takes RGB and component, and I would like to use one of those if possible.
    I have looked into the AJA Kona cards, and they seem a little too robust for my needs. I won't be capturing HD SDI any time soon. The blackmagic solutions seemed interesting, the Decklink SP looked good, and the Intensity looked OK too, but I haven't seen too much talk on them. Are their any other solutions people are using to monitor their timelines? Currently I am just working with plain old DV.
    Thanks so much for your advice,
    David

    The Intensity Pro may be just right for you with your Mac Pro. Very reasonably priced. I have the HDMI only Intensity card and it is nice. Not sure of all connections packaged with the Pro model, but good stuff. Intel units only for this product.
    AJA is an awesome company and great products. I have the LHe and the tech support is the best. Like anything you do get what you pay for.
    Good Luck

  • QuickTime .mov plays upside-down in Windows Media Player

    I know the cause of this: If you record using an iPhone with the volume buttons pointed at the ceiling, the resulting video plays upside-down in Windows Media Player. QuickTime is smart enough to correct and rotate automatically. Not so WMP. I have several clips that were recorded with the volume buttons pointed up. If I use QuickTime Player to rotate the clips, then they are correct when viewed in WMP, but upside-down in QuickTime Player!
    Is there any way to fix these clips so they are right-side up in both worlds? Or is there no choice but to re-record everything with iPhone's volume buttons pointed at the floor?

    Your assumptions are only partially correct. When you record the clip on your iPhone, the clip is recorded just as you see it in the WMP—i.e., upside down. What the iPhone does is records an addition file value that tells Apple media players which edge to display as the "top" during playback. Since third-party media players ignore this value, they display the clip in its original orientation which, in your case is upside down. When you flip the video orientation using QT 7 Pro, you're telling QT media players to play the file with an "upside down" orientation. By exporting the "flipped" orientation, you are, in fact, re-encoding the original "upside down" to a "right-side up" display but simultaneously telling all Apple media players to play the file upside down.
    Is there any way to fix these clips so they are right-side up in both worlds? Or is there no choice but to re-record everything with iPhone's volume buttons pointed at the floor?
    Actually, you can do either. That is, you can either "fix" the original recordings or re-record the the clips in a manner that avoids this problem. To "fix" your original files, simple open the files in an Apple media player (like QT 7 Pro) and export the files. The player will note the current "top" orientation and re-encode the content using the current display orientation for both QT and third-party players.

  • Pips for sound instead of audio when playing sequence in Canvas window?

    Am new to Final Cut Pro. I'm using FCP 3 on a G5 10.4.11. When I drag the scrubber bar along timeline I can hear the audio track but when I click the play icon under the canvas window I only get pips as the sound track. What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

    Choose one:
    You have more audio tracks than can be played on the system in real time.
    +Increase the number of real time audio tracks in Final Cut Pro > User Preferences > General or lower the playback quality+.
    The audio sampling rate does not match that of the Sequence settings.
    +Digital audio for video always uses a sampling rate of 48kHz. Resample in QuickTime Pro, Compressor or Soundtrack.+
    You have a multiplexed file. This means that the audio is embedded in the video -FCP expects discreet (separate) tracks. As Pat pointed out above, .DV stream files as used in iMovie are one example of this type of file.
    +Use FCP to capture, not iMovie or transcode to a suitable QuickTime .mov file that uses the appropriate codec for your Sequence.+
    You could also just render the audio tracks but bear in mind that you will have to render again if something in the Timeline changes.

  • Image printing problem with Photoshop and Lightroom specifically with 11X14 cuts off top of image and moves bottom border up. Windows 7 OS - Epson Printer is working properly.

    Have an unprecedented problem with printing 11X14 photos in both PS and Lightroom. The printer is operataing properly. Printing 81/2X11 correctly. Have double and triple checked all the printing settings and they are correct. Have checked with friends to no avail. This problem started yesterday. Widows 7 OS. Need help.

    You show the OS receiving an image from Photoshop, and the OS starting the Epson print driver and handing it part of the image, the driver connects to the printer, then the print driver fails. It looks like a bug in the Epson rasterizer, or the printer communication.
    You really need to talk to Epson.  Photoshop isn't involved in that error.

  • How to send the canvas window to a secondary monitor ?

    Hi there,
    I already hooked up a secondary monitor.
    How do I send the canvas window to a secondary monitor ?
    Thanks

    Once you have your extenal display connected, you need to go into System Preferences > Displays and turn off mirror displays mode.  This puts your external display in extended desktop mode.  Then you can drag the canvas window from your primary display to your external display.
    Note: in my experience if you normally have the Dock on the right side of the screen it will disappear when you do this.  Just do  > Dock and select one of the other Dock positions.

  • Moved from AVID to FCP...viewing on NTSC monitor question

    I am in the process of migrating to FCP studio from AVID with mojo. With the mojo I used a S-video out to my NTSC monitor. Now with my FCP system, I have to always have my DSR-25 on and use the composite out to the monitor. Is there a better way? I am using FW and only editing in DV for the time being. A AJA IO would give me an S out but I do not have RS-422 control with my deck. Plus, that is a lot of bucks to pay just to get a clean video out to my monitor.
    Any ideas? This switch to FCP is somewhat painful...but in the long run I feel it will be worth it.
    Thomas

    If you have a deck you don't need the Canopus....if it is a firewire deck all you have to do is connect it to a monitor and you are good to go.
    #8 External Monitor Viewing.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    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

  • Cannot Vew Footage on my NTSC Monitor from FCP

    I am having trouble viewing my NTSC screen for recording a project to a BETA. I have gone into EasySetup and selected both Blackmagic DeckLink NTSC 8 and 10 bit. Went into View, Vew Playback and tried selecting Blackmagic NTSC 8 and 10 bit and still cannot get the file on my NTSC monitor. My mouse will split off my screen over to it, but cannot get mov to show up over there to record into the BETA. I get sound, but no video in the recording, just a blue screen. Any thoughts

    I'm working on a Mac OS X Version 10.4.10 Dual 2.5 GHz Power PC G5 with Fincal Cut Sudio Pro. A co-worker downloaded updates for our BlackMagic DeckLink. Last Friday everything was working fine. Today, it's not. I called him and he's the one who told me to go into EasySetup and select the BlackMagic DeckLink NTSC 8 or 10 Bit and everything should be back to Normal. Well, it's not, he's out of State, and I can't reach him now on his Cell. I'm not sure of the Brand of Decklink, I only now what it's called in FCP. I'm just the back up guy on this and now we have to overnight tv spots, if I can get them on a BETA.

  • DVD burned looks darker than FCP video on ntsc monitor

    I use a broadcast ntsc monitor to color correct video from FCP via a cinewave capture/output card. My footage was shot mini-dv. Everything looks great on ntsc monitor. I finished the show, color-corrected rendered and all is good. I export mpeg 2 using the mpeg-2 export option from FCP, playback on computer, looks good. I used dvdsp 4, simulator looks good. I burn dvd and view it on same monitor as I was color correcting on. NOW, the dvd looks darker, the contrast is a little heavier, overal levels are muddier and darker. I try another dvd player, same thing. Different monitor - still dark. I take it home, and try it on 2 other dvd players, and it looks perfect on my tv at home.
    I've been doing some research, and I thought this might be one of those IRE setup issues, but from what I've read, it looks like if it were an IRE issue, my video on the dvd would appear washed out and brighter, not darker. Again, it looks great on 2 set top dvd players I've tried, as well as the built in apple dvd player on the powerbook screen. On two other set-top boxes, it appears dark and muddy.
    Anybody have any experience with this problem?
    IRE, or something different?
    Thanks

    It sounds like it may be DVD Player or television set-up related. If it behaved the same way on each player/tv then it could have been related to encoding settings, gamma etc. - did you double check the set-ups to make sure?

  • Getting video to play real time in an NTSC monitor question?

    I’m trying to get video in my NTSC preview monitor to play real time. It will send a picture to the preview monitor but will not play real time even when timeline is rendered. I’m coming out of the back of my video card (ATI Radeon 9600) through a DVI cable to my HDTV monitor. Do I need a Firewire digital to analog converter box in order to see video in real time? I don’t want to use my camera as a pass through. Does FCE support a second monitor at all during editing?
    Any info greatly appreciated!

    Thank you so much for the reply! I just purchased a Firewire Datavideo DAC-6 DV to Analog Video Converter and it even has component out to the NTSC monitor. It will be here on Wednesday! Good to know I can run a preview monitor while editing. Thanks again for assisting me.

  • Yellow Cast to HVX200 Footage in FCP - but fine on NTSC Monitor

    Dear Folks:
    I am shooting two cameras with an HVX200 and an HMC150 in a room where the only light source is daylight-bulbed Kinoflos. The lights are fixed, as it the set. Nothing changes. There are no windows.
    I have two NTSC monitors, both set to camera bars.
    I use manual white balance. I use a big white card (a foamcore board).
    The first day, the image looked perfectly white balanced on the NTSC monitors. We ingested the footage through Final Cut Pro. It matched the look we saw on the NTSC monitors on several macs.
    The second day, however, the image had a YELLOW cast to it when ingested via Log and Transfer.
    Why would it look clean and white on the NTSC monitors and yellow on various macs?
    Thanks!

    First off, are you saying there is a difference between Day One and Day Two...? or...
    Just a difference between NTSC and mac display?
    Are there any common values in the days that can be sampled and compared numerically? For example some thing "white" in day one is R=235, G=235, B=235 and on day two is R=235, G=235, B=190?
    Two other things off the top of my head might be the white balance went away overnight (if you didn't balance again on the second day), or one of your kinos went "sour".
    Not likely but you may be getting a subtractive dynamic contrast in the shadows?
    Or, more likely, there is a white point difference between the NTSC monitors and the macs. Generally speaking, most macs set for broadcast-emulation sit around D65, while many, many ntsc monitors can range from D65 all the way up to about 9500, which is VERY blue, but your eye-brain adapts to that and then it becomes a VERY bright "white".... against which everything else will look yellow.

  • Images enlarge and movies play in iweb, but not when published

    Everything works fine in the program, but when published to site or folder, photos are there, but won't enlarge. The movie thumbnail shows with the little movie icon in the corner, but clicking does nothing.

    On all of your pages  you have an image that appears to cover the photos preventing them from being clicked on.
    Move it to the back via the Arrange menu or get rid of it.
    How did you add the videos to the page?  If you just dragged them onto the page or used the movie page then iWeb will have to upload them when it publishes the page and all will load when the page is accessed which can cause long loading time for the page. 
    Also thre are some files missing for the TV page as seen in the Activity window (Command+Option+A) for the page. Publish the site to a folder on your hard drive and open it there.  Check to see if the movies play OK (after you fix that overlaying image issue). If they do then the problem lies in the uploading of the files.
    If those files are Quicktime then the viewers must have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to view them.  See this page on Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site for methods of presenting movies that will let all computers view them: Player-Showcase.html.  See the list at the right for different players you can use.

  • PLEASE HELP - COLOR SHIFTING PROBLEM on output NTSC monitors

    http://www.smmlv.com/testproject/
    Above is a link to a layered photoshop file that has a USA map and over a dozen network overlays used in a section of our video. I animate each layer on sepeartely in the video and have noticed a major problem recently, the color of the art does not hold true to placement. I created the art originally in Illustrator and then converted the file to Photoshop at 640x480, 72dpi. This has always worked perfectly in the past to display and animated artwork in FCP.
    Right now, in FCP I am using the NTSC DV 3:2 frame size, and the compressor of DV/DVCPRO - NTSC. I have a JVC Profressional DV deck that hooks up through firewire and sends S-Video to my monitors. This setup has always given me a great picture even though it is not completely upcompressed. Using these settings and this art, the color lines on this map in red, light blue, yellow and purple all have a "color shift" to the left about 5 pixels. It makes it appear that the line is where it is in the file, but the color overlaying the line is offset to the left 5 pixels and transperant to about 50%. This occurs only when viewed on some TV's and NTSC monitors and projectors. The strange thing is, some monitors display the color aligned almost perfectly on these maps and other monitors and projectors show this "digital halo" of color shifting really bad. If I take the layered network overlays in these colors and color tint them to black or grey, white, light green, or even light orange, they no longer have the color shifting and the detail is perfect.
    Is there any way to fix this problem? I have tried duplicating the sequence and setting the compressor to 8bit Uncompressed, and while my captured footage is not this compression, in theory the art should render at this higher resolution setting. This did nothing to solve the problem.
    I also have tried using different Broadcast safe and Y/C corrector filters with different results. The Y/C filter allowed me to reposition the color problem and thus removing most of the problem, but also removing most of the color. Nothing else has allowed me to seemingly move the color into the proper possition.
    What is causing this color shift on the displayed NTSC image?
    In FCP 4.5 I can see my rendered video in the program viewer screen and besides the pixel compression appearing on the lines, overall the video looks great paused or even better when playing. Then you view it through my deck onto my Pro Sony NTSC 19" color monitor and it also appears great, with a slight color halo to the left of these colors, but the color in the lines are there. If you are a few feet from the screen and know what you are looking for you might see it, but doubtful. Then you view it using the same signal on a 17" Samsung TV and the color shifting makes the map and other art, like the clients blue logo, look horrible, with each color line appearing twice and offset left from each other as if you had double vision. Normally I would think it is the TV causing this, but then we tested this same movie on 2 differnt projectors. The $700 Epson projector displayed everything beautifully, again with only the slightest color halo to the left, but then the Panasonic $4000 projector made everthing in these colors look double vision again. What is going on???
    One more thing to keep in mind, my color bars also show this problem with these colors as well as shot footage of these facilities. There are tall red poles in the shots and everything displays fine except for the red pole color looks like it's glowing off the pole to the left.
    PLEASE tell me there is a solution to this.

    I have tried Degaussing, using filters, changing cables, and testing other monitors and systems on these monitors, everthing I can think of to solve the issue. Is it FCPo or is it the monitors?... or is it a signal strength thing. Can monitors and projectors shift color when the signal is read from a DVD or Mini DV Deck? Is there a fequency difference (Ie: 75mgz or 80 mgz) that might be causing the shift in some monitors and not so badly in others. But if this was true, how would some DVD's (like Baby Einstein DVDs that use really bright colors) display red and blue perfect using these same player and monitor, while my projects is shifting color? Doesn't that rule out the signal from the DVD player if other DVD's do not have this issue?
    I have uploaded the original art used, an exported .jpg file from the FCP timeline and sample photos of 2 different monitors to show to show this problem as best I can. http://www.smmlv.com/testproject/
    Someone out there must have had this problem before. There's no way a color shift problem like this with Mini DV has gone on this long without someone seeing it.
    One last thing about what I have tried... I do understand that with editing in Mini DV instead of uncompressed or HD video I lose a bit of resolution (4:2:2) and I see this compression occuring in some of the areas in the video where these problems persist. But, I did remake the art and rerender this project in an 8bit uncompressed settings and then displayed that up on the screen and I get the same color shift. I keep going in circles trying to find the culprit that is causing the delema.
    PLEASE HELP! There are large tours going through our facilities daily and the large screen projector is displaying this problem as well. Let's just hope they don't notice and that their TV's at home or office does not display it on our final DVD's made.
