Green time line

Somethings stopping me view my Ae animation work about half way through. I just started working with after effects and can see that the neon green strip above the time line represents, er, something. Currently it stops half way thru the project, and I can't watch anything past then. How to make it extend to the end of the work? And why is it broken - sometimes?? Vague terms I know but as I say I'm new...and the project has to be finished today!
Thanks
Ben

You need to check out the help files. This green line represents the number of frames that can be cached into your system memory. After Effects is not a non linear editor and doesn't playback video the same way Premiere or FCP does.
Read
these pages from the help files and you'll have a better idea of how AE works.
When you've finished the Previewing section you should also read the entire
Rendering and Exporting section. AE is an extremely feature rich application and each of the output options has different requirements. You can't expect to get perfect results with every project if you don't do a little homework first.

  • NEED HELP PLEASE / GREEN LIGHT LINE IN EDITING TIME LINE

    Hello,
    I am editing a video using premier 6.5.
    When I render the video edited the red line in the work space pass to dark green what is normal, but also appears a smal portion of the video with a light green line in the rendered area.
    When i play the video and the reader pass through this light green part the sound sudently increasy 80%.
    I tried everything even re editing that section but the light green line keep appearing after rendering and the sound problem back.
    This part of the editing where the light green line is have many sound tracks but the sound level is the same to the rest of video so dont understand why that happen
    can anyone help please?

    Hi thanks for your reply.
    When i render the time line a dark green line appears...as u say that show the working area has been rendered but in this case also other extra line appears in part of the video ( only in a section) the line is light green ...diferent to the other
    when I play video and pass though this light green line the music tract gets extra loud 80% higher.
    When I play again the video to check if the other parts has been affected I can see all sound levels have changed and need to use audio mixer to balance them again. In spite of that when pass thought light green line all happen again.
    could be that the sound tracks have different formats? in that section where the problrem is I have 6 diferent sound tracks overlaped but the sound level is the same for all so do not understand why when i render appear this green extra line

    Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
    Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

    Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
    The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
    As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

  • I have blue and green vertical lines on my iMac which is no longer covered by Applecare. Is it fixable?

    I have blue and green vertical lines on my iMac which is no longer covered by Applecare. Is it fixable?

    What model iMac? Could be a failing video card but maybe not. Is it that way on every screen, startup to shutdown, any time the screen is lit?
    Do you have an AASP nearby? Time to have an estimate made. Fixing it will likely be very expensive.

    I have an appointment at the Apple store today, but was wondering : will all of the information and files on my desktop be lost? Or is this a logic board problem?
    Any help is much MUCH appricated.

    I'm not sure, if you're out of warrenty it'll cost quite a bit for the replacement of the logic board replacement...unless you have apple care. you could ask apple to try and recover your hard drive but i'm not sure.

  • I cannot drag and drop to the time line!!! This worked before.

    Hello All,
    The last time I used iMovie was about a month ago. I have successfully imported and edited many projects in the past year. I just imported footage from a Mini DV camcorder as I always have in the past. When I click on video to drag to the time line, as soon as I move the mouse pointer, the video thumbnail becomes ghosted and I do not see the thumbnail or green + symbol when dragging. I even moved the mouse pointer to the timeline anyway and released the mouse click and nothing happened. I even tried dragging image files and MOV files from the Finder to the iMovie interface and that would not work either.
    What is preventing me from dragging?
    Ralph Ocampo

    Also, after the video thumbnail is ghosted, if I click on the ghosted thumbnail the thumbnail image does not appear in the preview window. Instead, the preview window turns black.
    Also, if I double click the ghosted thumbnail I do not get the Clip info dialog. It's as if the clip no longer exists, but I can see it's ghosted thumbnail.
    Also, I showed my wife the problem and she just told me she was using iMovie 2 days ago with no problem.

  • Screen Freezes + colour distortion with Green/Pink lines, runs hot!

    Hi,
    so my computer has been running very hot recently and at first i though it was the battery, however it says it's in normal condition and has a cycle count of only 110. Then today when i went to go use one of my hot corners the screen froze and turned all grainy, producing green/pink lines all over the display. I tried force quitting and nothing work. I eventually just restarted it. This occurred two more times both while trying to stream videos online within the following two hours.
    It basically looks like one of those really old computer video games when it freezes mid-action. All the images becomes distorted and the pixels are blurred, resulting in green and pink horizontal lines all over the display. During this however i am able to move my mouse, and my computer is also especially hot during all of this. While typing i have to move my palms aways every once and while because it gets too hot.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated? This has very nervous as i have a paper to write this weekend and i need my computer.
    Thank-you very much:)

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Check in Activity Monitor to see if you have some hung up process running amok and hogging the CPU, which would cause a lot of heat. If you find one, quit it and see if the problem goes away.
    It's possible you have the NVIDIA problem:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
    If so, the only cure will be to replace the logic board. Fortunately, under this program, it will be done at no cost to you.
    Do you have access to an Apple Store? If so, there is a specific test they can run to diagnose this problem.
    Also, run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to be sure you don't have a problem with the fans or thermal sensors. If your fans are not working properly, it's possible that the graphics chip is getting too hot, resulting in the video distortion you are seeing.
    In any event, this sounds like a hardware problem that you need to address with Apple as soon as possible.
    Good luck!

  • Green pixel lines after installing 10.4.6

    I started getting green pixel lines on my screen following installation. They appear when windows open and remain after windows are closed. They also appear around the desktop icons, but mostly on the left side and bottom of the icon.
    Any thoughts on how to eliminate this problem?
    I have run permissions repair several times.

    jcaz,
    Find the com.apple.finder.plist, and the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file in your ~Library/Preferences Folder. Drag these plist files to your Desktop, log out/in or restart.
    If unsuccessful, can you duplicate this behavior if you create a new user?
    Reinstalling the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo for PPC is an option if the behavior is observed in the new user account.

  • Green digitalized lines form when Screensaver is on

    Every time the screensaver comes on (a photo album), these green digitalized lines come on, and I cant get them to stop. Any advice?

    Thanks everyone for offering your thoughts. I have put it through a round of testing today and found that indeed the green lines appear when I'm taxing my system with Photoshop.
    Now my issue lies in what to do - get a video card or purchase a used Mac Pro of a similar vintage. Found a good deal on Craigslist for $400: 2.66GHz Quad Core XEON, 8 GB's of RAM, 500 GB hard drive, Nvidia 1024MB video card. I could stuff it with my other 3 hard drives and get a better card than mine (perhaps add that second display I've been wishing for). Opting for a new MacPro isn't an option, it's too expensive and I'd like to get another 2 years out of my 'system', generally speaking.

    Unfortunately this sounds like a hardware failure. Run Apple Hardware Test in extended modeat least 2-3 times back to back. If errors appear then you have confirmed my suspicion. However if no errors appear unfortunatelyyou are not out of the woods l yet  because AHT is not the more reliable test. If you do know know how to run AHT please refer to:

  • Red line above the time line

    How do I get it so after initially importing my video the line above the time line will be green instead of red.  It stays red until after I render the whole clip.  I am importing my video clips from my camcorder.  How do you determine the correct project settings if that is the issue?
    Thanks

    How do I get it so after initially importing my video the line above  the
    time line will be green instead of red.
    Not possible as worded. If you have the correct project preset, there  will
    be no colored line over this Timeline content.
    If you do not have the correct project preset, there will be a red line 
    over this Timeline content.
    What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer 
    operating system is it running? APE 8  Windows XP 3GB  of ram Pentium Dual core
    Proc 2.41 Ghz
    If you are talking "red" line, then you must be working with a version of 
    Premiere Elements earlier than 11. Assuming that....
    If your project preset matches the properties of your source media, then, 
    when you bring one of those files to the Timeline, you will get no colored
    line  over the Timeline. But, after that, after you edit that content, a red
    line will  appear. That is when you render the Timeline content to turn the
    line  green.Thereafter, that original content will never revert to the no
    colored line  status as you work through editing that project. It will just go
    through the red  green color indicator system.
    No colored line and green = the program telling you that you now have the 
    best possible preview of the Timeline content when viewing it in the Edit
    Mode  monitor playback. Red line = the program telling you that you do not
    have the  best possible preview of the Timeline content and, if you want that,
    then you  can press the Enter key of the computer main keyboard to make that
    happen.
