FCP 7 - I can hear audio but not see the footage in the viewer or canvas

Ive had a few problems with my final cut. Im working off my laptop with a monitor. My immediate issue is that I have been editing fine this morning and then all of a sudden I could hear the audio for my clips but I can't see the footage in the viewer or the canvas. I can double clip on each clip individually and see what the footage is however. I've shut my computer down a few times and its not fixing itself. Also a lot lately when I sit down to do some editing the footage flickers on one clip and wont proceed to the next clips footage but I can still hear the sound. I would LOVE some help with this if anyone knows whats going on? Sascha

#15 White or Black Canvas or Viewer
Shane's Stock Answer #15:  White or Black Canvas or Viewer
Make sure the canvas or viewer are selected then go to VIEW>CHANNELS and set it to RGB.   It might be set to ALPHA.
OR...
Click on the drop down menu above the Viewer or Canvas and make sure that you are on IMAGE or IMAGE + WIREFRAME.

  • Can hear audio but not see video in iMovie

    have a project in iMovie and when I click on the space bar I can hear the audio, but the video remains black even though the thumbnails show images.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?

    You cant directly add the video object to the stage
    to add it on the stage add UIComponent to stage and add the video object to it

  • Can hear audio but not see video

    hi,
    so I'm incredibly new to this and it's probably obvious I haven't got a clue,
    but I was editing a video - all is fine,
    save it,
    and now that I'm trying to continue working on it I can't see anything.
    the original clip is visible perfectly fine,
    however the edited version now just looks like three coloured bricks instead of an image, and in the preview is simply a blank screen. I can export the clip and view it fine that way, however the quality is much lesser.
    I'm about to give up on this entirely.
    please, any help is appreciated.

    Just FYI, diesel, per an agreement between Verizon and the FCC which allowed Verizon to buy additional spectrum, all Verizon-model iPhone 5, 5C and 5S models are already unlocked.

  • TS4185 i can see and hear them, they can hear me, but not see me, why?

    I can see and hear them, they can hear me, but not see me on facetime, why?

    Ok,
    So when you look at your Preview it is Black indicating a camera is there and selected as no camera would not show a video icon and if from the Preferences would be a grey background and a no camera message.
    I see this is a iMac. Any chance it is a G5 one ?
    If so go to System preferences > Displays and make sure it is set to Millions. (Change it and change it back to be sure)

  • I have been using Final Cut pro v6 without any problems but recently had to reinstall.  Since then I can't open and view all my Quicktime clips.  They appear white in timeline which means you can hear audio but not view picture.  Any tips?

    I have been using Final Cut Pro without any problems - v6 - for ages.  I recently had a hardware issue and had to reinstall the software.  Since then I can't open most of my QT clips in my fcp project.  They appear as white clips - audio only no pictures.  There are a few QT clips you can view as regular thumbnail images and they play ok.  What's the issue?  I have fcp v6.0.6 and QT v7.  Any thoughts on what to do next?

    Yes I did software updates which updated fcp to 6.0.6 and QT to version 7.7.  That's as far as updates have taken me although i have requested daily updates.  I forgot to say the clips don't play in QT view either.  Again sound but no pictures when they are played.

  • I'm trying to video chat on Facebook and Skype they can hear me but not see me how do I fix that?

    trying to video chat on Facebook and Skype but they both don't work with the camera people can just hear me

    There is a certain minimum data rate your Internet service must support to do Video.
    The little pilot light next to the camera will come on when the camera comes on. You can test out the camera with Photo Booth.

  • Can hear audio but get no video in QT player or iTunes or Safari

    I can hear audio, but get no video (ie just a blank window or the "first frame" of the video) when playing basic ".mov" movies using QT Player. I also get the same behaviour when trying to watch movie previews in iTunes. I get the same behaviour when trying to watch QT movies in Safari (for example the latest apple advertisements from apple.com), although ironically I was able to watch the entire Macworld keynote without a hitch in QT Player?!?!
    I know my mac is now "getting on", but I know it is still capable of displaying "ipod" sized movie trailers in iTunes.
    Real player, cameraid, graphic converter and btv pro can all play the movies QT Player cant. Firefox can play the movies that Safari cant play. Unfortunately there isnt an alternative for iTunes.
    Can anyone give any reason or solution to the fact that the core Apple applications are unable to play Apples own movie format when out of date, 5 year old, 3rd party software can?
    I have tried
    1) deleting the QT plist files
    2) reinstalling flip4mac, perian, realplayer and flash, and
    3) have just updated QT an iTunes to the latest version.
    Any ideas?
    The only hint I can think of, is that when playing a movie in QT Player, if you minimise the movie to the dock, and then bring it back to the desktop....it displays the "current" frame of the movie which sits there "frozen" until you do it again ... and just repeating, audio is fine.
    The Plugins in my HD/Libary/Internet Plug-Ins folder are:
    Flash Player.plugin
    flashplayer.xpt
    Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.plugin
    Flip4Mac WMV Plugin.webplugin
    Java Applet Plugin Enabler
    Java Applet.plugin
    JavaPluginCocoa.bundle
    NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave
    nsIQTScriptablePlugin.xpt
    Quartz Composer.webplugin
    QuickTime Plugin.plugin
    RealPlayer Plugin.plugin
    VerifiedDownloadPlugin.plugin
    Are any of these out of date?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Brad.

    Yes Techmo, persistence is the secret.
    After the QT 6.4.5 update once again made no difference, I gave up with a brand spanking new 2.8Ghz iMac only a couple of days away.
    On cleaning out the old mac getting ready to transfer files to the new mac, I unplugged everything but (of course) power, keyboard and mouse.
    I dont know why, but I tried a movie...and it worked like a charm.
    I dont know what was plugged in that was giving QT grief, but I suspect it may have been my ageing Orange Micro iBot webcam. Too late now to find out (and I no longer care as I gaze on my new 24 inches of beautiful screen real estate), but for all those with this problem....try unplugging everything as I did and see what happens. At least it might be a starting point to solving your problem.
    Strange it only affected Apples own applications though???

  • Can hear audio, but video blacks out every few seconds; picture comes back when we hit the tv's volume button

    We can hear audio, but video blacks out every few seconds; picture comes back when we hit the tv's volume button. Everything seems to be plugged in well. The picture even starts out being sort of dim. And it goes through phases of working fine but then will randomly start blacking out again.  Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Have you tried turning the TV off and on again.

  • Itouch sound - I can hear music but not vocals on songs.

  • Can hear iTunes, but not other programs

    I recently did an update to iTunes and ever since then, I can not hear sounds from other sources, such as if I go to Youtube. In the sound settings, I get that there is "audio device detected". When I try to listen to a system sound, I get a message that says "Windows can not play the sound because the sound card may be in use". But I CAN hear iTunes.
    Also, I have tried a system restore to a point prior to the iTunes update, but Windows didn't recognize any changes and would not go back to the restore point. Also, in device manager, it says the sound card is working properly.
    Any ideas, if iTunes caused this?
    Thanks!

    Try and update your audio drivers:

  • My movies won't play. you can hear them but not watch

    Ok any video i put on my ipod 5th gen won't work.
    i can press play on it it will play the audio of that movie but not the video it just shows the artwork of that movie thats it.
    Help pleaseeeeee?

    On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
    Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
    Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.
