Help! B&W Effect makes clip go entirely black

Can anyone offer me some help? When I try applying the B&W effect to a clip in iMovie, it makes the entire clip go entirely black. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any advice you can offer me (and my students).

    Hi Stephen, thanx...
    Yes, we are talking about FCP X...this is the thing:
    I worked on a project a few days ago and went to share - export movie.
    Today, i opened the FCP again, to make some changes, and when i enter to the project, it shows me as one big clip.....i dont see it says compound clip....and i tried anyways pressing break appart clips...but nothing....could it be that i made it compound before exporting it..? if so how can i recover the un-compound version >?
    I tried to import the saved .mov file, but it opens the same....as one long clip...
    Pls help...thanx.

  • Help please! Video too dark to review and make clips!

    Bought a new imac G5 for video editing as this was recommended by the mac store. Just captured my first short film, filmed on panasonic dvx 100B in 24pA. Not only are the day scenes fuzzy, but the night scenes are black and I can't see them to even make clips and edit! The tutorial video clips come out perfectly.
    The night scenes are very clear and lighted on my camera lcd.
    I tried changing video settings to high, but still can't view.
    Please tell me I don't need an external monitor just for rough edititing and there is something I can do about this.
    (Wondering why I spent all this $ on a new and larger monitor if I can't even use it!)
    Could it be the RAM? I've got 512, or something with the 24 frame rate? It's set on 23.98 as recommended for 24p advanced.
    Any help greatly appreciated!!!
    thank you!

    Read through these links. They describe how to calibrate a NTSC monitor. Don't worry about color yet, concentrate on the part about setting up the brightness and contrast levels first.
    This link has nice illustrations and is your best bet for a quick understanding.

    Check into Graeme Nattress's G TAKE filter with the Blue channel engaged. It mimics what a blue gun setting on a pro monitor would do.
    Again, unless the monitor is calibrated somewhat, the true story is not yet known.
    good luck.

  • Created effect on clip in timeline. Want to save it for use later..

         I realize I can't drag a clip from the Timeline into the Event Library. So frustrating. So how do I go about setting that clip aside with the effects I have applied so I can use it later in various places in my timeline. I don't want it in the timeline now. I want to use it later with the effects I have created, or is that not possible?

       I can't seem to do any of that in the event library. As far as I can tell, I can only add effects to clips in the timeline.  I have the clip in the timeline and I have created effects. Now I want to remove it from the timeline and not lose the time I have spent creating those effects. I don't want it cluttering up my timeline and I don't want to have to redo all the effects. Is there no way to do this? I'm assuming not.  I did find that I could create another event and copy/paste a clip into the event and "save" for later use that way, which seems a really lousy kludge.
       If I'm correct that there is no way to save a clip from the timeline for later use, do you think this is just a temporary failing or just part of the way FCPx will always work. I am continuing to explore how FCPX deals with editing and playing with unimportant footage and keep hitting walls like this. I try to figure out if it's just a paradigm shift I need to make but things like this and the inability to copy/paste attributes and such just make me crazy. I'm working hard to move from the unsupported FCPStudio and I know that Premiere will have its own "make me crazy" issues but these limitations as compared to FCP Studio are really frustrating and I just can't tell when I run into problems that will be addressed in a .X release vs problems that are simply "how it's always going to work in FCPX".

  • Cant add effect to clip in source window. The hand icon cant drop the effect has a bar sign.?

    I load a clip into the source monitor and try to apply an effect to it.
    The hand icon drags the effect over the selected source windows but does not drop the effect onto the clip. ?
    How would I fix this?

    Select the clip in the timeline  - but don't double click.
    Press the 'F' key - clip appears in source monitor
    Drag effect to clip in source monitor
    Adjust effect  - this will be added to all instances of the master clip in the timeline.
    It's all there in the help files.

    No computer can do a thing without using memory. 1.5 GB is very little. It's normal.
    3 or so hours from a full charge may also be normal, for what you are doing. As batteries age, they don't last as long on a full charge as they did when they were new. All batteries eventually wear out, and are easily replaceable.

  • Please help me install Pattern Maker?

    Hi,
    At this url:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4687&fileID=4377
    I am trying to download the plugin:
    CS5_Optional_PlugIns_Installer.dmg
    The files included are:
    CS5 Optional Extension Plug-Ins.mxp
    and
    CS5 Optional Plugins.mxp
    When I attempt to install either of these two files, I get the following error message:
    I’m attempting to place the installs into the Applications> Photoshop CS5 > Plugins > Optional Plugins
    I'm on a Mac OS 10.6.5
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Linda

    Hi Linda,
    Sorry if I confused, but I just want to make sure that you don't have all the Optional Extensions installed and enabled (as fallout from trying to get Pattern Maker working). There are two .mxp files and you mentioned trying to install both of them. I haven't seen the actual error you get, so to be safe, I'm suggesting that you make sure to disable all the Optional Extensions (and likely all the optional plug-ins that you don't need too). The installers are/were all or nothing (I'm not sure if the installer .mxp for Optional Extensions has been removed yet).
    The quickest way to uninstall is using the CS5 Service Manager application (IF it is working correctly). The quickest way to tell if they are installed is probably to look in this folder: Adobe Photoshop CS5/Plug-Ins/Extensions.
    There should only be 5 there by default: Enable Async IO, FastCore, MMXCore, MultiProcessor Support, and ScriptingSupport.
    Let me know if you still have  questions,
    regards,
    steve

    Hi Linda,
    If you installed the Optional Extensions Plug-Ins.mxp you'll want to uninstall all of them (or disable them and only enable individual ones that are needed). To uninstall, use the CS5 Extension Manager. To disable them, individually rename each with a tilde(~) as the first character.

    help how do i make a purchased song my ring tone, it's not showing on my list for ringtones

    This song was purchased from the iTunes Store?
    If so, you can't create a ringtone from music that was purchased from the iTunes store, but if there is a ringtone available for purchase and download at the iTunes Store with this song, you need to do that.
    For music in your iTunes library on your computer that was not purchased from the iTunes store, there are a number of ways to create a ringtone with such music. With a Mac, there is an inexpensive or free app avaiable via Apple's online App Store named Ringer. Ringer has access to all music and sound files in your iTunes library that was not downloaded from the iTunes Store for creating your chosen segment of the song to be used for the ringtone. The app places the created ringtone in your iTunes library under Tones for transfer to your iPhone when syncing.
    Creating ringtones on a Mac can also be done with GarageBand, and there is a manual way of doing this with iTunes.

    Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image  Adobe Premier Elements 13  need help!  .jpg and mpeg images,  but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago.  I am desperate for assistance!

    That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
    First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
    I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
    I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

  • Applying effects erases clip

    When I apply some of the effects to a selected clip, the clip goes black and is erased. I'd been doing everything the same as always when this started happening out of nowhere. I've tried downloading imovie HD6 again but it's doing the same thing. Any advice?

    Thanks for your questions:
    I'd say 90% of the clips. I imported them from a miniDV tape. All original. My computer is nearly brand new with 2.8 GHz processor, 4MB cache, 4GB Memory and 448 GB available (according to "about this mac")
    I haven't found rhyme or reason for those that cut to "all black" other than they all have the letterbox fx. The clip starts fine, then cuts to all black.
    This has also happened in other projects I've done. Ken Burns was one of the other effects. I dare not add any other video fx for fear I'll kill the clips that are still hanging in there.
    As for work-around, I am just not dumping my trash now. I am not closing the app at all. I am praying I can at least get this project in some form for export.
    Where is the logical, systematic, simple explanation for why iMovie does this or how I can just get through this darn project with a cohesive finished result without opening it and finding several clips are now black. iMovie 06 has been around long enough - they should have an answer to this by now.
    "Nothing Works" unless I want to test each and every setting, mouse click, nose pick, action and in what order. The "two things" tried include removing library files and repairing permissions a few times, converting each and every clip back to original (more than 75 clips), saving, reapplying effect, rerendering and resaving each clip.
    Isn't that enough? I'm just a lowly consumer looking to piece together a little video of clips. I just want it to work.
    And it is a "waste of time" as it has now taken me 4x longer to burn this dang thing than it should. I'm just bitter at this point.
