I get black slides when outputting to WMV ??

In Photoshop elements 10, I am preparing a large slide show (diaporama) with about 130 slides.
When previewing the show, everything is as I want it, but when I do the final output to WMV format, the first 50 slides are OK including transitions and music, but about 10% of the slides after that are missing, the screen is only black (music remains OK).
My PC has an Intel i5-2500K, 8Gb RAM, c: disk is 64 Gb SSD (9 free), Windows 7 64bits.
The Slides are on an external 1Tb disk, in 3456x5184 pixels, stored as JPG high quality (not max), i.e. about 1.2 Mb per slide.
Can someone please help ??

The plugin is incompatible. Delete it and relaunch Safari.

Keep getting black slides after exporting a time-lapse in LightRoom

No matter what camera I use, I continue to get black slides in between frames of timelapses I make using Lightroom 5. I'm using a plug in that allows me to export the slideshow at 30fps. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!

Me too. Would love to find an answer to this. As far as I can tell it's not to do with viewing it on a screen at the wrong fps, Lightroom is actually inserting black frames between the frames we put in...

Mac or Win? Can you open Reader? In any case, you cannot create PDFs with Reader, which is, well, very little more than a reader of PDF files.

Getting black image when resize to thumbnail

When uploading images through a servlet via a webbrowser, I am saving the image to the harddrive and then resizing the image as thumbnail for certain view pages.
I have tried serveral approaches to resizing the image, with all solutions I use the thumbnail image is being returned as a solid back image.
I started with the example on the Sun Tech Tips site: http://java.sun.com/developer/TechTips/1999/tt1021.html
    public static void createThumbnail(
            String orig, String thumb, int maxDim) {
        try {
            // Get the image from a file.
            Image inImage = new ImageIcon(orig).getImage();
            // Determine the scale.
            double scale = (double) maxDim / (double) inImage.getHeight(null);
            if (inImage.getWidth(null) > inImage.getHeight(null)) {
                scale = (double) maxDim / (double) inImage.getWidth(null);
            // Determine size of new image. One of them
            // should equal maxDim.
            int scaledW = (int) (scale * inImage.getWidth(null));
            int scaledH = (int) (scale * inImage.getHeight(null));
            // Create an image buffer in which to paint on.
            BufferedImage outImage = new BufferedImage(scaledW, scaledH,
                    BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
            // Set the scale.
            AffineTransform tx = new AffineTransform();
            // If the image is smaller than the desired image size,
            // don't bother scaling.
            if (scale < 1.0d) {
                tx.scale(scale, scale);
            // Paint image.
            Graphics2D g2d = outImage.createGraphics();
            g2d.drawImage(inImage, tx, null);
            g2d.dispose();
            // JPEG-encode the image and write to file.
            OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(thumb);
            JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(os);
            encoder.encode(outImage);
            os.close();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
    }I have tried other approaches from various posting I found off google such as:
    public static void scale(String filename, String outputfile, int width, int height)
            throws Exception {
        ImageIcon source = new ImageIcon(filename);
        double sf_x = width / (double) source.getIconWidth();
        double sf_y = height / (double) source.getIconHeight();
        System.err.println("Scale_factor_X: " + sf_x);
        System.err.println("Scale_factor_Y: " + sf_y);
        BufferedImage bufimg = new BufferedImage(width, height, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
        Graphics2D g = bufimg.createGraphics();
        g.setComposite(AlphaComposite.Src);
        AffineTransform aft = AffineTransform.getScaleInstance(sf_x, sf_y);
        g.drawImage(source.getImage(), aft, null);
        FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(outputfile);
        JPEGImageEncoder enc = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(os);
        enc.encode(bufimg);
        os.flush();
        os.close();
    }No matter the implementation, the output is always the black image. I tried additional steps such as adding the JVM flag of:
-Djava.awt.headless=true
I've certainly spent a few hours on the google search engine and reviewing various newgroup posting, your suggestions come with many thanks.
Cheers,
Justen

I tried your method and it worked okay. The only way I can get the black image is to send in a distorted path. One of the problems with the ImageIcon.getImage technique is that you get no feedback about loading failure. Here's a way to peek into the process for some indication of how it went. If you can tolerate j2se 1.4+ you could use the ImageIO methods in lieu of the proprietary JPGImageEncoder.

Getting black screens when i open a new window through a link or try to look at the menu options.

When i load a new window/click to go to a website, all i get is a black screen. then when i want to look at my bookmarks all i get is a black pop up screen (cant see anything). if i try to navigate to the other tabs open they become black as well

I did find the problem... It was the DivX Plugin for Firefox. I just found I wasn't using it. I went to Add/Remove Programs and uninstalled it. FYI I am running Windows 7.

T440s with Windows 8.1 (and BitLocker) - 1 ot of 3 times gets black screen when booting

We have a case on a machine with original "Lenovo Windows 8" installed. Windows updated to 8.1 and the latest patches. System update is up to date.
Aprox 1 out of 3 times, when booting, after entering the BitLocker PIN, the Windows loading screen is shown in 1-2 seconds, and the the screen goes black. But the machine is moving forward, because the fingerprint lights up and the user is able to log in using that.
(The machine was even able to print a document that was sent to the printer when the machine was offline.)
Have tried to disable fingerprint without any success.

I have the same problem.
After trying and failing many times, I worked out that disabling my nvidia card was the only successful solution.
This will then allow the intel graphics chip to work on its own.
Something is wrong with the communication with the USB Dock and the nvidia card! I am hoping a workaround that allows me to keep the nvidia card switched on will be found by someone...

Boot camp gets black screen when open games

Hi apple support.
I recently installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on my MBP (using boot camp) and i also downloaded all the drivers from the boot camp assistant.
After the installation i run in to these problems. Everytime im trying to play games (even the standard chess games in windows 7 ultimate), the screen goes totally black, but there is still light on the keyboard and the computer is still running. Then i need to shut down the computer and start it again.
MBP specs:
2,8 GHz intel core i7
4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 288 MB (nvidia geforce gt330m)
Software: OS X 10.8.2
I really tried everything, like downloading drivers for my graphic-card, updated newest updates from Windows Update.
HELP

I too have had this issue occur on one of my MBPs (early 2009 15" 2.4 A1286).
I would launch steam in windows bootcamp environment and temps would go to mid/upper 60s. Playing simple game such as AOE III (circa 2006 game) and after 10 minutes of gaming the screen goes black. Game sound is still on with the screen black. Requires hard reboot. I installed Lubbos Fan Control to occaisionally monitor temps while in game (using windowed game mode or via alt+tab to see the temps). Temps would be at mid to upper 80s. So I reasoned that it was a thermal efficiency issue.
The laptop is about 4 years old so I bought replacement fans incase they were struggling to spin/cool efficiently. I also did an SMC reset since some of the thermal charateristics of the Mac are controlled by SMC. Ordered new thermal grease too.
Since installing the new fans, SMC reset, applying the thermal grease to the GPUs and to the CPU... temps in OS X at idle are low to mid 40s (30s at startup in OS X). Temps in windows bootcamp environment are at about 62c at startup but settle to mid/high 40s at after a few minutes at idle (startup in windows has alot of services restarting, etc which accounts for the 60s temps at startup). SImple IE browsing is at low 50s (currently at 52c as I type this).
Now when I launch Steam, the temps while in windows climb to 60s. When in AOE III, temps can still climb to mid/uper 70s but never over 80c. I haven't had the black screen appear again, but I'll continue to test and monitor to be certain it doesn't return. One thing is certain, the temps are alot better now.
Macs running windows via bootcamp just simply run hotter than in OS X when doing similar things (Just launching steam in wondows, without running a game causes a 10c increase), but you can do a few things as noted above to try to keep the temps down.
Hope that helps.

Why do I get black screen when trying to view a pdf in Safari?

I've re-installed the Adobe plug-in. I know a pdf is downloaded since I can save the black screen then open and actually view the pdf with Preview. So it's there but I can't view it.

The plugin is incompatible. Delete it and relaunch Safari.

PSE 7 Crashes when outputing to any format - Help!

I have used the program (PSE 7) on the same machine for the past 2 years with limited issues - have always been able to restart the workstation and program and get my slide show outputed to the desired format. I am expereincing the same issue again this year, but no matter how many time I restart the program crashes at random times when outputing. May crash right away or at any different percentage of completion during the output process.
Do I reinstall on the same machine? If so, will I be able to recover all fo the work I have done?
Do I upgrade to the newer version? Will I have the same issue?
Shoudl I try to down load the trial version first? Not sure if it over writes the current version and if I would lose anything?
Please Help! Needs some guidance as I have to get the annual High School Softball video completed by Monday for the banquet.

Do I reinstall on the same machine? If so, will I be able to recover all fo the work I have done?
Uninstalling and reinstalling will not affect your existing catalog, nor saved slideshow projects. If you also use Premiere Elements note that PRE video projects no longer appear in the organizer, although they can still be opened directly in PRE.
Do I upgrade to the newer version? Will I have the same issue?
Without an identified cause of the existing problem that question cannot be answered.
Shoudl I try to down load the trial version first? Not sure if it over writes the current version and if I would lose anything?
Yes, install the trial. Multiple version of PSE can coexist. When installing a later version of PSE I always make a copy of the catalog from my previous version and convert that rather than the original.

Organizer 8 Slideshow - Help - black slides in .wmv output?

Greetings. I recently purchased Elements 8 (both Photoshop and Premiere). My primary reason was to create slideshows in an easy fast manner with lots of features (i.e. pan/zoom). I have used Photoshop for years. I created my first slideshow and output to .WMV file. When I playback the slideshow in Windows Media Player v11, the first 3 or 4 slides play fine, with transitions and zoom/pan, then the slide show goes 100% black. After about15 to 20 seconds, a few more slide appear and function as designed. I can see that during the "blackout", slides were being prcessed because when they appear again, I am about 10 slides into the sequence, even though the blackout occurred after 3 or 4 slides. This repeats itself, blackout, then slides appear, blackout, etc etc. It was a 20 minute slide show.
The output was at 1024 x 768.
The original slides are 8 x10, 360 DPI, which is the resolution I have worked at for years in PS.
So... I created a smaller slide show with no transitions and no zoom/pans, and only about 20 slides. I still got the blackout issue.
I also launched the .WMV file in Nero and had the same issue, so the file itself has the blackout in it. It is not the player.
I then output to .WMV at 800 x 600 and this time it worked, even with the transitions and zoom/pan. No more blackouts.
Unfortunately, the quality is noticibly worse. I really need to stay at a higher resolution. So, I guess I have a myriad of questions and am for the most part looking for feedback, suggestion, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
Are there any ways to convert the slide show to a format other than .WMV? (i.e. AVI). I beleive to edit the slideshow in Premiere Elements where I could create other format, it first has to be converted to a .WMV file. This conversion is where the problem lies.
Thanks in advance....

My initial and probably most significant comment is
Seems like you now have 2880x3660 pixels in your photo files.I understand that it is a good resolution for printing however, .....
The odds are overwhelming that your photo file resolution is too high for slide show processing either in Photoshop Elements or Premiere Elements. And the black "photos" in your slide show output are symptomatic of that problem.
How many and when black photos appear in the slide show output will vary according to the resources of your computer (temporary files disk space can be very significant) as well as the number of photos, their resolution and the resolution of the output.
As an example, when the final outout will be a standard definition DVD( which is 640x480) for playback on TV or computer DVD player software, the recommended starting resolution for photo files is approx 1000 x 750 is for full screen 4:3 output. You want a higher resolution playback, so yes your initial resolution would be proportionally higher so that you can have sufficient resolution to zoom and pan.
What is the playback method and resolution that you want? Approximately how many photos are in the slide show?
You are probably familiar with the Process Multiple Fiels command that is in the Photoshop Elements Editor: it is a possibility for making the recommended descrease in photo file resolution to a copy of the photo. There is also an Export command in the Elements Organizer.
My second comment for now is that
there is an alternative to making a wmv file: it is a command that sends the definition of the slideshow to Premiere Elements 8 without ever making the intermediate wmv file. Depending on where you are in PSE 8 Organizer or Slide Show Editor, this command may be either Edit in Premiere Elementsor Send to Premiere Elements. However, I highly recommend that you not try this command until you have downsized the resolution of your photo files.
FYI: there are many more comments that are appropriate to discuss a slide show workflow from PSE to PRE and some of this discussion might bounce back and forth between the Photoshop Elements and the Premiere Elements forum.

Hi Alxx911, and John Hammer1. After reading John's reply - " You can plug something into it's headphone jack. though" . I thought i'd try out of curiosity. I plugged in some headphones. I didn't expect anything to happen and nothing happened. The audio jack is for the Dell soundbar which is optional.
Here's a direct copy and paste from the users manual: Section About Your Monitor.
Attaching the Soundbar AX510 / AX510PA (Optional) CAUTION: Do not use with any device other than the Dell Soundbar. NOTE: The Soundbar power connector (+12 V DC output) is for the optional Dell Soundbar AX510/AX510PAonly. To attach the Soundbar: 1. Working from the back of the monitor, attach the Soundbar by aligning the two slots with the two tabs along the bottom of the monitor. 2. Slide the Soundbar to the left until it snaps into place. 3. Connectthe Soundbar with the DC power connector. 4. Insert the mini stereo plug from the back of the Soundbar into the computerís audio output jack. For HDMI/DP, you can insert the mini stereo plug into the monitorís audio output port. If there is no sound, check your PC if the Audio output is configured to HDMI/DP output.
This monitor has no speakers. (Like John Hammer1 mentioned). The no speakers feature was one of the reasons I chose this monitor.
Good Luck !
