FCP 7, issue with dual display (video frozen but audio plays)

I have just installed FCP 7 (Studio 3) onto a new MacPro 8-core with Radion5770 GFX card.
Primary monitor is running via DVI, secondary monitor is running via DisplayPort to HDMI.
My problem is that if i enable the secondary display so that I get a full screen image from the timeline and then attempt to play the video remains frozen whilst the audio plays.
Its the same on the primary display video viewer window as well.
If I TURN OFF the secondary display then the video viewer on the primary window returns to normal play back without any issues.
If I turn the seconday display back on, then "scratch" along the timeline then the video refeshes corectly - but every time i hit play the video remains frozen.
Any ideas???

Ive found the solution.
its quite easy.
symply go to
Final Cut Pro -> Audio/Video Settings
Navigate to A/V Devices and under video select the screen your using. If your using the computers screen, like a macbooks screen make sure to check the box. "Miror on desktop". If you do not do this you will have a black frozen immage and the sound will continue playing.
I set a shortcut for "All frames" so that when I press a cmd+p it automatically plays full screen on my macbook.
Hope that helps.

ITunes 8.1.1 TV Shows Video Stutters but Audio plays properly

I upgraded to iTunes 8.1.1 hoping to fix a problem I was having. When I pay TV shows that were purchased through iTunes the audio comes through properly but the video lags and jumps. If it is a SD video the lag is a "quick blink of the eye". If it is an HD video it can take several seconds for the video to catch up with the audio, looking like the video has frozen.
• I am using an iMac G5 with OSX 10.5.7 with 2GB DDR SDRAM 2GHZ PPC
• The problem occurs if I open the video with QuickTime too.
• The files are all held on an external HD; but when I copy a file over to the main HD, it still happens.
• I've deleted all iTunes plist files and there are no 3rd party apps with iTunes.
• I'm reinstalled QT 7.6 instead of just upgrading it.
• I've done permission repairs and had 3 issues that were not able to be fixed:
"Warning: SUID file "usr/bin/quota" has been modified and will not be repaired. Warning: SUID file" usr/bin/quota has been modified and will not be repaired. AND Warning: SUID file "sur/bin/rsh has been modified and will not be repaired."
• The video stuttering also happens with movies that I make in iMovie 9.0, although all the files work fine on my iphone/youtube/other computers.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Hi hockeymom3,
Have you installed any QuickTime components? If you have, try removing them and testing again.
They are generally located in /Library/QuickTime(Launch Finder> click Go> Computer> Macintosh HD> Library> QuickTime) or ~/Library/QuickTime(Launch Finder> click Go> Home> Library>QuickTime).
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24166 describes similar issues with Intel Macs caused by 3rd-party components.

Video stalls but audio plays on

Quicktime Player Pro 7.1.3. When ever I try to view a .mov, or mpeg, the viewer freezes on the first image, but the audio track continues to play. The movies play fine in VLC, and even on other computers using QTP and Safari. Funny thing, is that in Safari, the movies do not play, yet they play fine on other computers, using Safari (1.3.2). The videos play fine on my computer, though only in Firefox. They play fine in iTunes, also.
So, why is this happening? Quicktime app not playing movies, now Safari not playing movies from websites (movies I have made)? There has to be a connection.
I have set up another user, and the problem still exists. I have tried reinstalling Quicktime, but problem still exists.
Snowball iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If Safari is the only browser you are having problems with dealing with QT see if the following is of any help:
To fix a QT related problem w/Safari, quit Safari & look in the /Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder (this is the Library folder at the root level of your HD, not the one inside your Users/user name folder).
Try removing the VLC Plugin.plugin (if you have it) & QT Plugin.plugin files from this folder, & then relaunch Safari. If the problem isn’t fixed, a different plug-in may be to blame. Keep removing files from this folder (start with any third-party plug-ins that are present) until the problem disappears.
Replace the plug-ins that don’t cause any problems.

Major Issues with Thunderbolt Display in Yosemite

I have a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2013). I'm having issues with thunderbolt display connectivity despite recent Thunderbolt Firmware update. The sleep wake function is not working and display with shut off sporadically.
MacBookPro10,2 Processor Name: Intel Core i7 Processor Speed: 3 GHz Number of Processors: 1 Total Number of Cores: 2 L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB L3 Cache: 4 MB Memory: 8 GB

Same problem here. I was so excited to see a firmware update this morning for my mac pro, and sure enough as i sat here, the display went black again.

Since downloading OS X Yosemite I have been having issues with Netflix. Video slows down which causes the audio to go out of sync. Netflix plays ok on ipad which makes me think it's the software which is the issue. Has anyone else had this issue?

Try this:
Go to System Preferences - Bluetooth. Delete the keyboard from the list of devices by pressing the "-" button. Take the batteries out of the keyboard and reinsert them. In Bluetooth Preferences press the '+" button to add the new device. If the keyboard begins to pair, click the word "pair" and type in the passcode. Press return. The keyboard is now paired.
If the mouse is not pairing, try this: shut down the computer completely, unplug any USB mice, then turn off the power to the bluetooth mouse. ONce the computer starts up again, wait for the pop-up looking for a mouse. Turn on the power to the bluetooth mouse. It should work normally now.

At you tube display video window but did not appear play, pause and sound bottons

at you tube display video window but did not appear play, pause and sound buttons, last night i watch the video at you tube perfectly.

It looks like a driver related issue specifically the video card driver. I suggest that you scan your computer with RadarSync so that you will know which drivers need some updating. Once you some results, you can either Google the updates or go to the HP's support website to get the latest updates or you can use RadarSync to update automatically. I hope this helps! David

Issue with recent "iPhoto Videos" not showing up in "Event Manager"

It has been awhile since I used iMovie '11 on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display. I believe the last time I used it was in September or October of last year (2012) as most of my editing I have been doing on the iMovie iOS app as it has been sufficient for the majority of my needs. I was running low on storage on my iPhone this past weekend and so transferred off all my videos to iPhoto.
I had need to edit some of the clips I transferred off and imported in iPhoto yesterday and so went to iMovie on the Mac to do so. It had to process the new files and then it upgraded the thumbnails to high resolution images and it was then I noticed that it did not recognize any movies after September of 2012 in the "iPhoto Videos" section of the "Event Manager." I was able to go into iPhoto and locate the more current videos to insure they were there and that they worked (I was worried at first they did not transfer off and just deleted or were corrupt in some manner). I have tried restarting iMovie, rebooting the Mac, etc. and nothing seems to work. Oddly enough, I can manually import the iPhoto files and iMovie finds them that way and they do work when manually imported. For whatever reason they just do not appear in the "iPhoto Videos" section of the "Event Manager." I am hoping someone here has an idea on why the Mac seemingly decided to stop recognizing videos after a certain date (September 2012 as is the case here) and how I can go about resolving the issue.

Hi Folks,
Your iPhoto access in other programs such as iMovie depend on ~/library/preferences/com.apple.iApps.plist. Whenever you add new videos to iPhoto and close iPhoto, this file gets updated. If corrupted, pull the plist, open iPhoto and a new movie and then quit. See if iMovie picks it up.
As long as you have the latest dot release, I believe you should be fine in compatibility.
Calbe
I had this problem and this fixed it. The problem started for me right after I upgraded iPhoto 9.4.1 to 9.4.2. I had to quit both apps, remove the plist file, launch iPhoto, then quit iPhoto, then launch iMovie... then iMovie asked about thumnails for videos and the iPhoto videos were back in iMovie.

Live Flash Streams issue on Multiple Macs - video frozen, audio only

With live Flash streams on some Macs, the video doesn't play and only the audio does (or more accurately, the video plays for a second or so and then shows a frozen frame while the audio keeps going). We've had this occur on three different Macs so far, but not all Macs we've tested on. We were able to look up the graphics cards on two of them that had issues and they both have both NVIDIA GeForce 9400M and 9600M GT listed in the System Profiler.
Having the user manually disable hardware acceleration fixes the issue, as does pausing and then playing the video. Running Safari in 32 bit mode did NOT fix the issue.
Flash player release notes list this as a known issue. When might a patch for be released? We don't want to disable hardware acceleration for all Mac users because it only affects some of them and thus some / many would be unnecessarily negatively impacted.
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/901/cpsid_90194.html#main_known%20issues
Mac users may run into rendering issues with certain live streams due to an incompatibility between the stream encoding and the hardware decoder. We are aware of this issue and are working with Apple to resolve it. Users may workaround the issue by pausing and then unpausing the live stream. Developers can work around this issue by forcing the video to be decoded in software - create two Video objects, attach the stream to the first, then stop it and attach the stream to the second Video object (2819870, 2818959, 2779420).

From Brad Outlaw:
Are you reusing the same Video object for the new NetStreams? Have you tried doing a Video.attachNetStream(null), Video.clear() and then attaching the new (or re-allocated) NetStream object? The video pipeline might be playing out some residual data that was sent to it from the prior NetStream.
Adding those suggestions seems have have done the trick. I had simply been trying to manipulate the NetStream and not the Video. Although I did try attaching a null NetStream to the video at one point, I had not done so with the Video.clear().

A strange issue with importing avi video

I have a rather strange issue with importing avi files (which playback normally in other programs) into CS4. When I import an avi recorded from my camera into CS 4 in the preview the sound is played back normally, but the video itself is weird. Pretty much roughly first 5% of it are stretched over the whole spand and slowed down to fit. So the video of 4 minutes will play sound normally for 4 minutes, but replay only 10 seconds of video VERY slowly. I'm a bit puzzled because I've used the same camera with CS3 and never encountered this problem. breaking apart and speeding up the video obviously didn't work because the video only displays the first 5 recorded seconds no matter the speed, tweaking with presets didn't work either.

Cisco Profile 52/55 Dual - displays video on only one screen after software upgrade 7.1.4

Hi,
I've upgraded the Profile 52/55 Dual system to TC 7.1.4 and it no longer shows video on both screens during a conference. It displays content on the second screen fine. It worked in version 6 so I wonder if something changed in the software or the endpoint requires some additional configuration.
I've checked settings under Configuration > System Configuration > Video > Monitors and it's set to Dual. I've changed it few times and set it back to Dual but this didn't resolve the issue. I can't see any dual screen option key added under system information but I assume it has a dual screen option hence it's a dual screen system.
Do I need to change any settings?

Hi Patrick
Thank you very much for your response.
The system doesn’t have a remote control as such, it’s an MX700 so it has the 10inch touch panel, I had some engineers onsite attempting to bring the self-view image up using the panel but the only image that they managed to retrieve was a self-view PIP on the main image.
If I change the self-view settings in the configuration nothing appears to happen on the codec, the second monitor will only display the presentation, it’s as if the system is stuck in dual screen presentation only, even though when I set the system to dual screen, flick it back to single screen, set it to dual screen, back to the same situation no image unless there is a presentation being sent.
I have ensured that these settings are forced on the system
xconfig Video Monitors: Dual
xconfig Video CamCtrlPip CallSetup Mode: Off
xconfig Video SelfviewDefault Mode: Off
xconfig Video SelfviewDefault OnMonitorRole: Second
xconfig Video SelfviewDefault FullscreenMode: On
But no matter what I do I am unable to get the behaviour that I expect, this is why I have posted on this forum, I seem to think that the problem may be related to a software bug, however I am unable to downgrade as that would stop the control panel from working (this system doesn’t have a remote), and I see no mention of a second monitor issue reading the release notes, I have checked the online bugs and cannot find anything there either. so I am wondering if someone in Cisco has any idea as to what is happening here.
I thought about trying to use TC console to see if I could force a layout via this tool / or at least see what layouts are on the system, however the TC console version 6 will not connect to this system (I think this is more firewall related than system, as standard telnet and ssh attempts fail also).
Again I appreciate any and all assistance provided greatly, I am completely baffled as to what is happening here.
Cheers

Solution for sleep issues with external display?

I had an Early 2011 Macbook Pro that worked quite well with an external display. I now have a Mid 2012 Macbook Pro (bought 5 days ago, and running 10.10.3) that will not consistently work with the same external monitor.
I had it working yesterday for a few hours only if I left the MBP with the top open (both the MBP screen and external monitor stayed lit). But, today it is back to freezing each time the monitor is connected to it.
I have tried:
1. Connecting the external monitor to the MBP with the top open. Results in the MBP screen now going dark and no signal being passed to the external monitor. If the external monitor is disconnected, the MBP screens stays dark and the computer is unresponsive requiring a hard restart.
2. Connecting the external monitor to the MBP with the top closed. Results in no signal being sent to the external monitor. Disconnecting the external monitor and reopening the MBP yields, again, and unresponsive computer which requires a hard restart.
I have tried three different external monitors, all giving the same result. The MBP is connect to external power, and I am running the latest OS (10.10.3).
Any suggestions before I return this to the Apple store in a rage? :-)

Hello there, Gaflin.
I'm sorry to hear you're having so much trouble getting your external display to work the way you are expecting with your new MacBook Pro. The following Knowledge Base article provides a great checklist of steps for troubleshooting the issue you seem to be describing:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
No video or no signal, image distortion, "snow," or flickering
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Using Closed lid, Extended Desktop, or Mirroring display modes
When using multiple displays, information can be presented in a number of ways. For more information and what modes are supported by your Apple product refer to:
Apple Portables: How to use your computer in closed lid (display closed) mode with an external display

DVD Playback Issues with Dual Layer media

I have been using DVDSP for years now, and have rarely had any issues with burning my final projects to DVD. Any playback issues have usually been issues with players and +or-R media.
I have recently upgraded to a MacPro, and have been really stoked about being able to burn to Dual Layer media. My previous G5 didn't have a DL burner.
I have a large project that fills most the disk, and everything seems great in the software, and when playing the media files on the computer. But when I burn to disk, I have huge issues with playback on different DVD players, computers, etc. I have stuttering with menu's, freezing, and stuttering with playback of video.
I read that the issue could be because of the speed I'm burning at in DVDSP, so I saved as a disk image, and used disk utility to burn at a 4x speed. This seemed to help, but when I got to the end of the movie I had huge issues with stuttering/playback quality. So I burned another copy from the same disk image, and it wouldn't even play in my DVD player.
When I open the Video_TS folder from the DVDSP Build, and play right off my hard drive in the DVD software player, I don't have any of these issues.
So I'm guessing my problem is either my DVD media I'm using, or the burners on this new computer. I've burned DVD's on both burners (yes I have 2) and I still have the same problems.
I am using Memorex DVD+R DL and they are 8x.
Can anyone offer me some advice here. I really wish I could just hit burn and have a disk work. DL media isn't all that cheap and I don't know how many coasters I can make and keep my sanity.

I used compressor and I used the DVD: Best Quality 90 Minutes setting. The bit rate is avg 6.2 and maximum 7.7. And yes I used ac3 audio.
When you say lowest speeds possible... shouldn't a burner that says it burns at a speed work at that speed? I'm cool with burning at a lower speed to get this thing to work, but why have a burner that burns DVD DL at 8x speed, when it doesn't work? Shouldn't it work? Why is it that it won't work?
If I get Verbatim DVD+R DL, can I burn at 8x speed with those?
When I burn in disk utility I used the "varify burned data" and everything checks out ok. So why do I have this issue. Just curious.

WebI issue with hierarchy display and aggregation

Trying to wrangle what looks like a defect in WebI's handling of hierarchy display and aggregation. We just completed an update cycle and are running BOBJ 4.1 SP4.
The hierarchy is a standard FM Commitment Item hierarchy in which both the nodes and leaves are Commitment Items (i.e. it uses InfoObject nodes, not text nodes). An example of one of these nodes looks like this in BW:
Cmmt_Item A - Node
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf
Let's pretend Commitment Item A has $50 posted to it, B has $20 and C has $30. Analysis for OLAP handles this by adding a virtual leaf line to distinguish postings that are on the parent node like so:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $100
    Cmmt_Item A - Leaf    $50
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
So you see both the total for the node ($100) and a line for each Commitment Items with KFs posted to them. Our users like this. They can easily see the aggregation and the breakdown.
WebI, on the other hand, will display it like this:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $150
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
It doesn't create a separate line for the value of the parent node, but it does add it's value into the aggregate. Twice. Modifying the table with the 'avoid duplicate row aggregation' checkbox yields output like this:
Cmmt_Item A - Node       $100
Cmmt_Item A - Node        $50
    Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
    Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
We're about halfway there. While the top row now shows the correct aggregation and it creates a new line to show the distinct amount on the parent node, that new line appears on the same level as the parent. It's no longer clear that there's an aggregate and a breakdown. And attempting to expand or contract a node will now crash the report with one of those 'Error 16' messages.
Has anyone encountered this issue with hierarchies in WebI? This report was built from scratch in 4.1, so I'm not sure if this affects older versions or not. Or if it would affect any hierarchy that uses InfoObject nodes instead of text nodes.

Without a fix, the simplest workaround I can think of would be to restructure the hierarchy. It can't use postable nodes, so Cmmt_Item A - Node from my example would need to be converted into a text node and the postable characteristic added as a child on the same level as the B and C leaves.
This looks like it would affect anyone using hierarchies with postable nodes in a WebI report.
Another oddity in WebI's behavior here - even though the postable nodes show incorrect sums the sum at the root node is correct. So extending my examples from the original post:
Root Node                    $100
    Cmmt_Item A - Node       $150
        Cmmt_Item B - Leaf    $20
        Cmmt_Item C - Leaf    $30
