FCP 7: Bizarre Line Running Up through Footage

I have been working with the same footage for nearly two months now, and only recently have I noticed this bizarre horizontal line that will occassionally (but now more frequently) run UP through the footage. I will pause, and the line will not be there. I will play the footage again, and the line will have disappeared. Then suddenly it will start running up again. This did not worry me terribly until when I exported some of the footage, the line was there again when I played its Quicktime file.
However, the line does not appear on an external monitor or TV that my laptop is attached to. Therefore, I think perhaps it could have something to do with my laptop's display? Also of note, I have just started using After Effects, but I don't see any reason how this might affect the situation.The line is just overall very strange and bothersome.
For technical specs, I edit with a MacBook Pro about six months old, so one of the newest editions. I edit with the prores 422 codec, and the footage is from a Canon 5D.
Any suggestions on how to get rid of this line, changing the RT, how the sequence runs, would be of great help.

Figured it out. It was the external monitor that was creating the line! Who would have thunk it!

  • I see a red line running vertically through my whole screen on my Mac OSx 10.9.5 3.4 Ghz i7. Any idea what it is?

    I have a red line running all the way vertically through my screen. Any idea what this is.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Do you see it all the time? If so, it is a display or display connector issue. To be sure about this, you can connect the iMac to an external display and check that the red line also appears on it (only if you have the appropiate cables). Anyway, you should make a backup of your data and take the iMac to an Apple Store or reseller for a further diagnose.

  • Blue line running through screen (T400 1440 x 900)

    Hey guys,
    So  my monitor has this blue line running straight through my monitor vertically. When I first got it, if I tapped my monitor on the side a bit, it would go away but then the line was permanent! I thought my screen was busted and started looking into a replacement screen. Now, suddenly, as I type the line flickers and it will go away so the monitor will be normal. But after some more typing the line will reappear. Now Im thinking the vibrations are affecting some sort of connection to the screen and the screen may not be bad. What do you guys think? Is it the monitor or a connection? If its a connection, what connection would it be?
    Thanks,
    John
    P.S.
    I took a picture of the screen right here. You guys can see the line that runs straight up and down in the middle of the picture

    that is usually the problem with cable connection between motherboard or the LCD itself.
    Also, try to connect to an external LCD, to see whether this problem comes up.

    I assume the Rulers are showing. In that case, to get rid of each line use the Move tool to straddle the line and drag it whence it came. I really didn't need to add this comment but it is the first time in years I have had a chance to use the word "whence".

  • Ipad had colored lines running through the screen

    My ipad first generation which i love now has colored lines running through the screen.  Can it be fixed?

    Howdy diana,
    It sounds like your iPad has mulitcolored lines all over it. I would recommend a few things here to help isolate the issue to software or hardware. Try restarting the phone with this article:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next try reseting the device with the same article:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue is not resolved, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it as a new device to see if the lines are still there. If not then restore your backup and verify they are still gone.

    If the lines are there even when setup as a new device, your iPad may need service:

  • My ipod has lines running through it, what can I do

    My ipod classic has lines running through the screen.  What can I do to fix it?

    First and foremost: Try resetting the device. If that doesn't fix the problem, it could be a hardware issue. I would then suggest contacting Apple Technical Support or taking it to your local Genius bar at an Apple Store.

  • Screen has lines running through it, is it worth replacing screen?

    Screen has lines funning through it, is it worth replacing screen on 2009 iMac?

    What do you mean by lines running through it?  There have been users with vertical lines, sometimes blue, or yellow, or pink, or combinations.  Those have all turned out to be a bad graphics unit chip that the Apple store techs were able to remove and replace without replacing the entire logic board.
    Take it to an Apple store genius bar and have the techs test and advise on how to resolve this.

  • Satellite A100-683: Small Lines running through screen

    Hello,
    I bought my Toshiba A100-683 for a month ago.
    The problem is that I sometimes see small grayish lines running through the LCD screen from the top the bottom.
    This is are the type of lines u also see when u use your (phone) camera to make a movie of a monitor / lcd screen.
    I don see them always and seem to appear randomly.
    I've updated my video card drivers but this didn't solve the problem.
    Is anyone familiar with this problem ?? Or knows an solution for it before i will send it for repair.

    Greetings from Holland,

    Hi
    I would recommend connecting it to the external monitor. If the small lines dont appear on the external connected monitor so I suppose the graphic card is ok and possibly only the FL inverter could has a malfunction.
    Anyway, its no matter whats wrong because the warranty should be valid in your case and all replacements should be done for free.
    greetings

    I just noticed a second horizontal line running through the screen on my Officejet 6500 printer screen (right through where the ink levels show up.)  The screen resembles graph paper.  What causes this?  Is there something wrong with the machine?  Can something be done to correct it?

    Hi there,
    A full factory reset may not be required. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03275041&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en
    It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
    Best of Luck!
