Half of any video blacks out.

This has never happened to me until now, and I don't know why (which is why I'm on the forums). Pictured below is how it looks in After Effects.
Both the selection thumbnail and the video is half blacked out. However, the picture below shows the thumbnail for the video outside AE and
it's perfectly fine.

There was a thread on this problem just two days ago. A search for black video would have given you the thread. It is the first one.
This is a problem acknowledged by Microsoft. It's their fault. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2803821 You'll have to either use a different codec or wait for Microsoft to solve the problem with an update.

  • 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.

  • Yet again YouTube videos blacked out in Safari but not in Firefox

    Hello,
    Is anyone else suddenly experiencing the same problem, which is that videos suddenly won't run in YouTube on Safari.   The video frame is just blacked out.
    Copy and past the URL into Firefox and it runs without any problems.  I understand this is a recurring thing with YouTube on Safari, but is there a quick solution or do we just have to wait for YouTube (or Apple) to sort it out?
    Thanks...BC

    One of the following steps should help.
    1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
        http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
        Restart
    2.  Enable Plug-ins
        Safari > Preferences > Security
        Web Content:
        Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
    3. Check  whether you are currently  in  YouTube HTML 5 trial.
         http://www.youtube.com/html5
        At the bottom  left of the page  uncheck the box for
       "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
    4. Reset Safari.
        Click Safari in the menu bar.
        From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
        Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
        Check the box next to "Remove all website data".
        Click "Reset".
    5. Turn off Extensions/Plug-ins if any that may interfere with Flash working properly.
        Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Best.

  • My video blacks out and comes right back on...

    Just got it up and running after getting TV working after lightning strike...   Did the new update and Apple TV blinks/blacks out for just a second (during video or on dashboard) every 5 - 7 min...   Internet speed is strong and connection seems fine.

    1. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General.  Click the padlock to unlock the preference pane and enter your admin password. Click the Advanced button at the bottom, then see if the option "Log out after N minutes of inactivity" (where N is the number of minutes) is enabled.
    2. Open System Preferences > Energy Saver and configure Display Sleep to occur after the account is logged out, by dragging the slider to a number of minutes that is greater than N was set to in the previous step.
    Important: If automatic log out is not needed, disable "Log out after Nminutes of inactivity" in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General. This will also prevent the issue.

  • Captivate Video Blacks out while Audio continues

    We are having problems with the video cutting out while the
    audio continues. We have ran the captivate file from our web server
    as well as downloading the files to our desktop and we experience
    the same problem.
    We updated to the latest Java v1.42, cleared the cache,
    history, updated flash player V8, cookies and changed the proxy
    settings.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you

    I actually figured out a fix myself.  When I compared the 3 clips in detail, I noticed that the 2 that were having problems were not converted.  All I had to do was to open the Clip inspector and click on the "Convert Entire Clip" button under the Speed section. Now my movie is playing fine.

  • I have tried reading EVERYTHING I can...Any video experts out there?

    Ok, thanks for checking out my post, I appreciate your time.
    So I have this Ipod touch and I have about 500 music videos. Yes, they're all bought and paid for from the store. So anyway, I don't have any issue setting them all up on my itunes and playing one after another. I actually have another PC setup beside my system just for this purpose. What I'd like to do is put a bunch of them on my touch (I don't have a problem getting them on or playing them 1 at a time)but how in god's name do I get them to play one after another?
    Can ANYONE help me? I'm sure it's been asked before but I can't find it anywhere.
    < Edited by Host, No personal information please. >
    (I'm still new to the apple side so im stumbling around in here a bit).
    Totally impressed with the touch though. What a great player.
    Thanks everyone!

    Please remove your email addy ASAP!
    As for your question, I think you'd have to stitch the videos together - at this time, I don't believe you can make them run in series without interaction.

  • Video blacked out in disk image

    hi the movie looks good in idvd preview. but the burned disk video plays black, only sound and subtitles.
    the media is .avi
    what is the fix?

    Good morning, Robert.
    The video format .avi can cause complications, but it's a good sign that iDVD preview can handle it.  In burning a disc, iDVD only burns a single video layer and normally cannot handle subtitles unless they are combined with the video itself.
    Can you provide more details about the source video?  (in the source video can you turn the subtitles on and off?  when you use Quicktime to view the video, what are the video properties -- eg, more than one video track/video format/etc? have you previously burned a DVD from this source?)

  • When choose video, but black out, try restart ipad2 but to no avail, help

    When choosing video app to watch podcast video, black out, restart tried, but still no response, help.

    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is another reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Snow Leopard makes FCP 6.0.6 wipes black out main video

    Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard I have found FCP 6.0.6 will not show the viewer window output properly on my 2nd screen via the View > VideoPlayback option, it just shows the first frame, if I scrub the viewer window it updates but not when I play it. But the canvas window does play back correctly in the 2nd screen.
    Also getting very odd side effects if I use wipes like the QuickTime > Gradient Wipe on a 2nd video over the main video blacking out the canvas window while the wipe animates and then once complete the underlying video returns. Even when I render it out to a seperate QuickTime file it does this.
    Anyone else experienced this?

    It was just an upgrade from the standard DVD of Snow Leopard.
    What I have also noticed is that both the new designed QuickTime interface and the old QuickTime 7 app are co-existing. I'm wondering whether that is part of the problem?

  • Powerbook g4 cannot stream any video without serious lag issues

    hi guys
    have a solid older g4 powerbook 1.33 ghz 1.25 ram powerbook i gave to my gf as a present. This thing just will not stream any videos with out serious lag. Even if videos buffer all the way it jumps all over the place.
    Sites like Justin.tv we cannot stream one channel good, audio is fine but picture is unwatchable due to lag. I can watrch the same channel on my 2007 macbook pro and its totally fine. Any tips on how to get this powerbook running right?? Even youtube you can't watch because of laaaaaag. This shouldn't be an issue.
    thx

    Unfortunately, our PBs are showing their technology age with streaming video's that have become more prevalent. You can take a few steps to try and maximize the performance, however, at the proverbial end of the day, if viewing streaming video's is important, it's time to upgrade.
    First, ensure you have 10% to 15%+ free disk space on your internal hard drive. Less than that can really crimp performance.
    Download OnyX and run the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs. Before using any disk maintenance program, good data protection practice says you should have your hard drive backed up. (I've never heard of a data issue with Onyx, however). Download from: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php?sid=e115f3f4154a6c53a8426d0c4b8a52a5
    Periodically run the Apple hardware test or either of the TechTool programs to ensure there's not any sick hardware getting in the way.
    Bring up the activity monitor and on the system memory tab look at page ins and outs. If page outs are 10% or more of page ins, you can use more memory for what you run.

  • I have a problem with FF 4.0b8 and Adobe Flash player where portions of the YouTube page or FF window will black out when I move my curser over buttons or tabs, etc. Any suggestions?

    I'm running FF 4 Beta 8 with the latest Flash player (10.1.102.64). When I play YouTube videos, the video is loaded, starts, and plays okay, but when I move my cursor around within the Firefox window, portions of the window black out under where the cursor travels. FF tabs and buttons will black out, or parts of the YouTube page (but not the video). CTL-ALT-Del to bring up Windows Security Panel, then CANCEL will restore the Firefox window, plus the YouTube page correctly (ie black is gone and window has been redrawn correctly). I can open up new tabs and replicate the problem multiple times. I've also experienced this problem with embedded YouTube videos (though it's easiest to replicate the problem direct from the YouTube page.) I don't experience this problem at all with FF 4 Beta 8 in Safe Mode, nor the latest FF 3.x.x. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the Flash plug-in. Anyone have any ideas?

    Problem involving videos played from the YouTube site is much less noticeable after upgrading from FF 4.0b8 to 4.0b9, but still occurs with embedded YouTube videos, where blacking out of other portions of the window still happens.

  • Exporting video from media encoder. Half of the video export other half goes blank/black

    Hi! I'm in need of help I've been trying to export this video to media encoder for about 20days now. I'm working with premiere pro cs5.5 and after effects cs5.5-
    Dynamic link, I've updated the two and everything, every time I try to export my video half willl export and I believe after effects crashes and thats when the other
    half of the video goes blank/black, this happens everytime, it's very frustrating and I don't know what is causing this. it actually just started.
    it also does this on cs5 as well.
    I am working on windows 7 HPE-510y Hewlett-Packard computer
    14gb of ram

    Have you checked the output in AME? I always check that before I hit go to make sure that I haven't fouled something up and that the in and out points are what I want. I spot check all along the timeline.
    I'm thinking that you have some parts of the Premiere Pro project that are shots or sequences that have been "Replaced with After Effects Composotion." If this is the case, does the blackness happen in one of these shots? If it does I'd suggest trying to render that shot in AE and replace it in the PPro Timeline. If After Effects is really crashing you'll be able to find out why.
    A little more detail about your project would also help.

  • Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in Windows 7, when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?

    Why my notebook sometimes blacks out, in windows 7,  when I watch video online or just browse some web pages which contains quite a lot pictures?
    1. I am not sure whether it is the problem of the graphic hardware, relevant softwares or the system itself.
    2. I am not sure whether browsing a webpage with a lot pictures would make the graphic hardware, or other hardwares if possible,  massively burdened and then just crash.
    3. Or if possible, is the reason that the heat dissipation doesn't work well?
    I am looking forward to any replies that might be helpful. Really appreciated.

    it could be heat, not enough RAM, but you don't tell us enough.
    There is no reason to assume this is anything other than running Windows natively btw.
    Browser  of course matters probably the most.
    I like IE10 now, but use to use FF until recently. I'd like Chrome except for a few concerns I have over using it, it can eat up a lot of RAM and it builds up HUGE disk cache if you don't clear history and cache on exit and run CCleaner regularly ( good for all browsers )
    So assuming 64-bit and 4GB or more and core i5 or better...
    Also make sure Wiindow has 10GB of free space or more.
    Biggest concern is what happens afterwards and whether you have run a check of your hard drive (chkdsk on startup) or if the problem cascades and gets progressively worse on top of the first - like do you have to do hard restart or able to bring up Task Mgr and kill or better yet, Resource Mgr and see if you have any thread locks.
    Safari is not well versed in multithreading and handling what you want to do and are doing. IE9 isi usually good but I found it could not handle a lot of tumblr photo streams and sites. Try Chrome. With Firefox, use noscript, blashblock and see how it goes.

  • My secondary monitor flashes and blacks out after the 10.7 install.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I have installed 10.7 and the secondary monitor flashes and blacks out.  I downgraded back to 10.6 and the problem went away.  I reinstalled 10.7 and the same problem happened again.  The monitor blacks in and out especially when the pointer is placed in the dock area, but it still happens all the time.  My secondary monitor is a ViewSonic 22 inch that is connected to a DVI to display adapter.  Any solutions??
    Thanks

    Talked to AppleCare and it's most likely the fact that my MacBook has 3.0 USB ports and my non official charging cable can't support that. So yeah, I'll try a new cable, hopefully that's the fix.
