Grey horizontal bars in capture window

I'm trying to capture into Premiere 5.5 with a Sony DSR-11 DVCam Deck. In the log and capture window, I'm able to control my DV deck just fine, but the footage plays with horizontal grey bars across it. Beyond rebooting and trying unplugging and replugging, and running the cleaning tape, I'm not sure where to start. I also double checked all the sequence settings, etc, and they're all set up for DV NTSC.
For background, I'm running Windows 7 Pro, SP1, 64 bit. My processor is an Intel Core 2 6300 @ 1.86 GHz. I have 8 GB of RAM. My graphics card is a NVIDIA Quadro NVS 440.
Any ideas?

Color bars in capture window?

I'm currently trying to log and capture from a Cannon miniDV ZR700 via fire wire400. Although I can control the camera, all I see in the capture window is color bars? Am I missing something. I've done this before, I've also seen this before but for the life of me I can't remember what the problem was.

You have a Canon product, that is what happened; Canon products don't play well in the digital sandbox with other devices. When you disconnected your external drive, the Canon felt like playing along. You should probably add another firewire bus through your express card slot, if your MacBook Pro has it.

Capture window, Viewer window, better quality then Canvas, why?

Hi there!
Both my capture window and viewer window show the recorded footage in a better quality then in my Canvas once I play it up in the timeline, was wondering why this is, is it simply because it's at 100% of it's size?
I checked the Sequence Settings, they seemed right at DV PAL (I recorded in HDV here in Europe) with quality set to 100%.
Also, by better quality I mean that the footage is brighter, with better sharpness and normal color, on my canvas the lighting is redder, everything is darker and the footage is fuzzier
thanks!

Double click on a suspect clip, it will appear in the viewer...
(a) filters tab - are there any video filters?
(b) motion tab - is scale set to 100% and zeroes everywhere else?
Or simpler: does your clip when on the timeline have a grey bar over it (indicating it needs no render)? If not, what colour is the bar over it?

PROBLEMS SETTING MASTER GAIN IN CAPTURE WINDOW

I am having problems capturing audio at optimum levels.
In other words my audio levels in my log and capture window
do not match the output of my tape (bars and tone).
To be more specific:
I am capturing from a Sony Beta deck (BetaCam SP).
The tape has Bars and Tone. I am running the audio signal through
my Mackie CR1604 audio mixer in order to control levels going into FCP.
The signal goes out from the 1604 into my AjA IO then out of AjA IO into
my MacG5 via the Fire Wire connection.
I have the Mackie levels set at 0 (zero unity gain) just below the
point of clipping using the tone from the Beta Tape.
My first thought was to boost the input in FCP using the Master Gain
setting in the log and capture / clip settings tab.
My problem was that the meters in my capture window (clip settings tab)
were greyed out. Well I found a way to access them by changing
my settingsby way of the following path:
Audio Video Settings / Capture Presets / Preset Editor. In the Preset Editor
I changed the QuickTime Audio settings device from Pro IO (AjA Io) to
Built-In audio. This allows access to the Master Gain slider in the log and
capture window.
No good...I can not get the audio levels in the capture window to match
the levels on my Mackie 1604. They should match.
(they are way too low and the Master Gain slider is maxed out)
Please help!!!!!
Michael Kraus / mak design co.

I need the Mackie 1604 mixer to boost or lower audio levels.
Lets say I have a Beta tape (or any tape/media) with bars and tone set to Zero db.
Thats great BUT what if the videographer had some areas in the tape
where levels were too high / hot or too low. The Mackie allows me to
boost or lower levels.
As for the headache of re-digitize/ re-capture....I see your point but it is usually
not a big problem. Especially since most of my tapes have tone at the head
of the tape set at zero db for me to "calibrate" to. The audio on the remainder
of the tape does not surpass zero db most of the the time (in a perfect world).
There are some times where the world is not so perfect and I need to
adjust levels.
My problem is that the levels out of the Mackie output and the levels
of the FCP / AjA IO input are different enough for there to be some concern.
I am in a sense doing what you are doing on the deck using the Mackie.
This is the way I always went about things when I ran my Avid video editor
and never had a problem. I am certain there are many people using the same
approach.
The bottom line is there is some kind of drop off in levels going into FCP via
the AjA IO.
I appreciate your input...Thank you!
Let me know if you have any other ideas.

Is this grey band/bar normal?

I got this on my imac. Sorry I have not figured out a way to attach pictures, here's the link to my post on macrumors.

It is a grey horizontal blur band/bar 2 to 3 inches from the bottom of the screen and it is probably 1 inch thick. When I boot my imac I can clearly see this. The attached picture is not a best shot however if you are patient you should be able to spot it. It is really more pronounced than the picture. I searched other forums and looks like some people have the same issue. I do not want to get another replacement if this is a common issue. Please let me know your thoughts and thank you all in advance.

There is nothing wrong you are simply seeing the space of the window behind the Dock and your desktop. See, you can see it on my system too:

"Unable to capture window image"

if I select a window to be screenshot, I get this error:
Your screen shot can’t be saved.
Unable to capture window image.
(shortcut: cmd-shift-4 and then space)
It seems to be new in Lion. Never had that problem before. And regular screenshots seem to work fine (cmd-shift-3).
Thanks for any help! ~ Kai

Thanks Davide ...
I created com.apple.screencapture.plist with Terminal and restarted the Mac.
The first couple of window screenshots worked on a Chrome browser window (command-shift-4, then space bar). But it did not work on other app's windows (Finder, Carousel).
Then I switched back to Chrome and I didn't work there too anymore. Crazy thing is that now it works on Finder windows. Very very strange.
All this is only true for capturing a whole window content (command-shift-4, then space bar)

Horizontal Lines while Capturing video in Premiere Elements 12

Problem:
I have a Sony DCR-TRV80 where video is captured on Mini DV tape. It connects to my PC via FireWire. PC has i7 CPU, Win 7 64bit. 8gig ram, raid 0 hard disks, nvidia video card. Lots of hard disk space.
When I capture video, as it is captured, I get horizontal lines whenever there is motion (either a subject is moving OR the camera is moving). This is seen in the capture window of Premiere Elements 12
The Project Settings:
I have tried several but the one that does not give me a warning is DV Standard 48khz & DV Widescreen 48khz. Both setting details show them as being interlaced (frame rate of 29.97 & size of 720h 480v).
Additionally, I have tried several other Project Settings and still get the same result.
What I See:
When I am capturing the video, I see the horizontal lines. When I output the image, I still get the horizontal lines (all seen on my PC).
My goal:
To capture my videos and have them at high quality so I can edit them to show on my TV to the family. I also would like to be able to see them on the PC without the annoying (and dizzying) horizontal lines.
Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at the manuals, etc. from Sony and could not find out much about the output of the camcorder. So best I can tell from your posts, the Sony DCR-TRV80/ Mini DV tape is interlaced natively.
I then did an output to a DVD and played it on my TV/DVD and no interlacing (actually minimal) was apartment.
I was unable to output to YouTube since it would only do it if it also uploaded the video to YouTube which I did not want to do.
So I outputted to AVCHD which seemed to be progressive output. The horizontal lines were definitely much less but still noticeable especially if I make the player larger.
I am just struggling with what I thought as high quality camcorder and prosumer program that I can not see it nicely on the computer or at something a bit larger than a tiny thing.
What can I try to check into this? I am glad to do whatever it takes on my end to learn or correct what I am doing.

Macbook Pro get grey progress bar and shuts down

Hello All,
I have a macbook pro and I faced this issue out of nowhere. After shutting down the system last time, when I started the system, I could hear the apple chime, apple logo appeared with grey progress bar below it. The bar will progress to 1/3 or so and it will disappear and after few seconds laptop will shut down. I tried few times but same things was happening again and again.
After going through few support forums, I booted by pressing D to run the Apple hardware test. It wouldn't do anything at all. Apple hardware test was stuck at pass number: 1 with elapsed time of 7 seconds. All retry were the same as the first one.
I rebooted the laptop and pressed command + R and entered in recovery mode/recovery disk. I clicked on Disk utility and select Macintosh HDD and started disk verification. I got hundreds of errors/warning, saying Missing thread recode (id = XXXXXXX) and it suggested to repair the disk. I tried to repair the disk but after similar message, pop window appeared with message that disk cant be repaired. I exited out of it and went back to recovery menu.
I selected Reinstall OS X Mountain Lion and went through steps and at the point where I have to select my HDD, there was just one option and I couldn't select it. It gave message that This HDD is locked. I can't start in safe mode, and can't reinstall OS X
I believe this is because of my hard drive might have crashed. can anyone help?
Thank you,

It does sound like your having mechanical or other issues with your boot drive.
If your machine is under AppleCare or warranty you can take it to them.
If you can user service your machine, you can opt to try to see if a new drive will work and install it yourself, or have a local geek do it for you.

Preview doesn't show up in the capture window

When trying to capture, the video preview doesn't show up in the capture window, only the color bars. I am able to run my transport with the buttons and the key commands, so I know the Canon ZR500 is really communicating (easy setup: DV-NTSC), via firewire. My scratch disk is a G-Raid hooked up through the firwire 800 input. The crazy thing is, it worked only one time. I've wasted one whole day and this morning, restarting, rebooting, unplugging, different tapes, etc. Next step is takew my entire setup to the so-called Genius Bart and see if Apple's Geniuses know anything about Apple software. Frustrating as ****. I will never buy Apple again.

Careful about editorializing. There are lots & lots of Mac users who are successfully capturing from Canon camcorders. I am one of them, and have never had a problem. So there is something in your setup that needs to be uncovered, it's not FCE or Canon per se.
One observation, you have a small hard drive (100GB) and even though you appear to have 59GB free, that's actually not a lot of space. One hour of DV consumes about 13GB and during capture the Mac temporarily needs nearly 2x that space, which means your system is using the 'inner' cylinders of the hard drive, where performance slows down; this could explain your dropped frames problem. Can you move some stuff off your system HD onto your G-RAID (say, your iPhoto and iTunes libraries if you are using those apps, they often take a lot of disk space)?

Random horizontal bars in Mavericks... PLEASE HELP!!!

The random horizontal bars in Mavericks that are shown in the link seem to occur when computer is under abnormal stress. It even happens at times when I just started up Safari or randomly flung the screen over to the widgets panel for the first time in days. The problem only in Mavericks, it didn't happen on Mountain Lion or Lion. The bars even show up irregularly on the shadows of certain program windows, the shadow that the window box is projecting onto the background. It's almost like the programs can't find the icon images that go with their parts or the images they find are corrupt. If so, what do I do about this?
Here are my stats:
Mac: Mid 2010, 15-inch
processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 288 MB
Software: OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
Here's the image if you can't see what's below
Thank You very much for checking this out!

Hey there,
First off, go ahead and try these steps:
do an SMC and PRAM reset
      - turn the computer off, make sure the charger is connected. Hold down the shift, control, and option on the left hand side of the keyboard, while all three are pressed, also press the power button. The computer should not come on
      - after that, let go of everything and then do this. Hold down the command, option, R, and P keys and then press the power button, now keep a hold of the command, option, P, and R until you hear the start up chime twice
- after that, if it still persists, check for an EFI firmware update, which you can find you computer in this list here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1237
- if that doesnt work, you may have to do a reinstall of the OS X and to do that, do this:
      - turn the computer off, then hold down the Command + R keys and then turn it back on
      - keep holding down the command + R until you see a screen that asks for your language.
     - choose English and the arrow in the bottom
     - Then after that, the second option should say "reinstall Mac OS X" choose that option and go through the steps to reinstall. After that, it should be ok.
- if all else fails, you may have to go to an Apple store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider and see if they can run some diagnostics, maybe the onboard graphics are causing some issues.

Horizontal bar showing desktop bottom of screen

I clicked or tapped something on my doc, now a 1 inch horizontal bar runs along bottom of screen showing desktop

I have no clue what that means! Lol.... Sorry. I did remove "dock from view", I have restarted the computer. I forgot how to take a screen snapshot, but again, just a horizontal bar along bottom, showing desktop. Dock, if visible sits on top of it, if I go to "full screen" bottom showing desktop disappears.
Again, when I tapped with two fingers, or right clicked or tapped with one finger....cannot replicate it, it just appeared pushing whatever window I have open up an inch and showing my desktop.

Horizontal bar is frozen

Mozilla Firefox for Ubunto canonical 1.0. My horizontal bar is frozen.
I see the horizontal bar down the Firefox window but I cannot move it, it's frozen.
I tried just close and re-open Firefox, but the same behavior in different websites.
Working with Ubuntu 12.04

Looks like a problem with detecting the current width of the browser window.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Horizontal Bar when equal or under 1024x768 in 4:3

Hi everybody,
I have used a width of 1012px for my header, container and footer. I can't think of
another element that might be affecting the total width of the page.
The problem is that when I view the page in 4:3 monitors that use 1024x768 resolution
a horizontal bar appears in the bottom of the browser (mozilla and IE) as the page does't seem
to fit. In widescreen monitors there is no problem as the rest of the image is filled by a background image.
I'm thinking I've left out some margin padding or something somewhere that affects the overall width.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Generally a 960-980px width is recommended for the overall width of a design, to fit within a 1024 browser window to allow for the chrome, scrollbar etc.,
You may need to decrease the overall size of your layotu to fit within that criteria.

To remove grey title bar in Forms 9i

I am using a Form(Forms 9i services), but when running it using named configuration on WIN2K env., I am getting the typical grey title bar with 'Window' written on extreme left and 'ORACLE' on the right. Can I remove this title bar.
Which files I have to change for Customisation.
Regards,
Gaurav Srivastava

mt22 wrote:But what do you mean when you say that if I remove the titlebar later I'll end up with race conditions?
Well, you added a titlebar for all windows (this is done through the "manage" signal). Plus, using "rules", you removed the titlebar for some windows. So your code tried to do something like this:
A new window spawns.
["manage"] Add a titlebar.
["rules"] Remove the titlebar for some windows.
Are you sure that this always happens in this particular order? I am not. Maybe something like this happens instead:
A new window spawns.
["rules"] Remove the titlebar for some windows (ouch! there is none!)
["manage"] Add a titlebar.
2. and 3. are mixed up here. Now, all your windows still have titlebars.
See, I really don't know if the order of execution is guaranteed. I haven't read Awesome's source code regarding this issue. So, my code avoids the whole issue because only one action is involved:
A new window spawns.
["rules"] Add a titlebar iff it's not XTerm/luakit/whatever.
I think/hope this is the best way to do it.

Grey progress bar when booting up loop

When I boot up my computer, the grey progress bar below the apple logo appears. It gets to the very end of the bar and then my computer shuts off. When I turn it on again, the same thing happens. Is there any way to fix this?

Windows doesnt do the same system checks that OS X does, so thats why you wont get the issue witthin Windows.
After you replace the drive, you should be able to put it in an enclosure and then migrate the data over to the new drive.
As far as your Windows partition. You may be able to use Winclone (www.twocanoes.com) to image and restore it. I don't know if it will work though when the drive is connected externally.
