IChat video to aim, black screen

I've been scanning google and everywhere else for tips on this but no luck. I am using iChat with a logitech quickcam pro 9000 and attmepting to do video chat with friends on aim 5.9, 6.0 and 6.5 and they can all get audio and hear me, I can hear some of their audio as well. however, they get a black screen and cant see me. Is there a fix?

Hi,
Ecamm are normally fairly good with their Camera Guide page
This device has been known to be a bit flakey since the UVC (USB Video Class Spec) was added to the OS at 10.4.9
Most reports the Audio does not work properly.
IS your System Preference > Displays set at Millions ?
Have you Repaired Permissions at all ?

Internet videos are a black screen

I just added a second screen to my desktop. After getting that working suddenly all internet videos are solid black screens. I hear the audio and see all the controls, but if I fiddle with the video it freezes on me and a pop up saying shockwave flash is busy or non responsive, the audio also stops at that point. same result weather i use internet explorer or Firefox. Have uninstalled and downloaded/installed flash player a couple times. rebooted my computer nothing changes. how can i fix this?

It sounds like your graphics driver isn't happy. You can test this by disabling hardware accleration.
This troubleshooting guide will walk you through it:
Video playback issues
If everything is happy with Hardware Acceleration disabled, you'll want to locate the latest available drivers for your video card. Hopefully that will resolve the issue and you'll be able to enable hardware acceleration for optimal system performance.

Ichat video not working when screen sharing into iMac in target display

I have my MBP (current model) plugged into my 27" iMac and using it as an external monitor. If I screen share into the running iMac from my MBP, several things aren't working properly. When I try to use iChat video, iChat crashes. Full size images don't show up in iPhoto or Preview. Both of these things do work on the iMac when it is not acting as my display when screen sharing into it. Is there a fix for this? As I would still like to be able to use some functions on my iMac through screen sharing when it is being used as my display for the MBP.

You are on your MBP. You have the iMac in Target Display Mode. You are using the iMac's display with the MBP with TDM. At the same time you are using Screen Sharing on the MBP to access your iMac.
Screen Sharing is never a full size view, it is always a window on the Mac's display with a smaller than full size resolution.
The 27" iMac's iSight is not available to use when the iMac is in Target Display Mode. Neither are its USB or FireWire ports.

TS3354 Video playback help - black screen

I'm trying to view my TV shows but all I get is a black screen. My movies seem to be loading just fine, though. I've already updated my iTunes thinking that that would be the problem, but nothing has changed. Any suggestions?

Each display is fed by its own graphics card: I have two NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT PCI cards, with 256 MB dedicated VRAM each. I am running two Dell 24" displays @ 1080p via DVI.
The source material is Uncompressed 8-bit 4:2:2 (with all FX rendered).
"External Video" settings:
When I brought up System Profiler just now, I noticed several oddities, one being that it says I have 0MB of VRAM, and the other being that one of my cards takes up 1 pin on the PCIe bus... Very strange! ???
Card from Slot-1: (0 MB of VRAM?)
Card from Slot-2: (0 MB of VRAM and x1 Pin Width?)
(It says "no display connected" because each card has two DVI outputs.)

TS3274 Video app will not play videos just a black screen

I have downloaded videos on my iPad. I press the video app and all I get is a black screen. I have turned off plus restarted the iPad STILL I get nothing. What welsh is there to do? Thanks

I have been having this same problem since the update. Are you running No-Script by chance? That is what was causing me an issue with embedded videos like on Vevo on Youtube, or youtube videos on news sites which would give me "An error has occured" message. Even if I allowed all scripts on the page, or even globally, the video would always return that error. By disabling NoScript, I was able to watch videos again on all of the sites I was having a problem with.
I tested this on another computer with Firefox 3.5. Videos worked fine as long as NoScript was allowing their host (youtube.com, etc) Seems like there is some sort of issue with NoScript and Firefox 3.6.15.

Firefox crashes after Flash videos play with black screen

Whenever I'm playing a video with Flash, the screen is black although the sound is playing. Then Firefox is crashing.
I'm using the newest Firefox Version (28.0) on Mac OS 10.9.2 (newer Macbook Air) and the newest Flash version. I tried Safe mode and deactivated my plug-ins to make sure it's Flash.
I re-installed Flash and installed but it didn't help.
My Firefox crash reports say "hang | libsystem_kernel.dylib@0x15a3a" under signature and "EXC_BREAKPOINT / 0x00000002" under crash reason.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

Video FX Rendering Black Screen

I am working on a project in iMovie HD and everytime I try to render a clip in the time line the render changes the clip to a black screen and causes the clip after it to now play in place of the clip I tried to render. When I initially started the project, the FX worked and now it is doing this with everything I do and I can't figure it out. I pretty much cannot use any FX...HELP!

Hi
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• *Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb*
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
• Program miss-match: iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match: iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
iMovie pref file resides:
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named: com.apple.iMovie.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
From LKN 1935: (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

Green light on during video chat but black screen

When I video chat, I am able to see the other person & my light is on but I only see a black screen. My microphone works. I am able to videochat using googlechat.

First off go to System Preferences and the Display option and check it is set to Millions.
If it is Restart the Mac whilst holding down the AppleALT+PR keys all at the same time until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.
If that does not work do this

Premiere Pro CS6 playing video but showing black screen?

I recently installed Debut video capture software and installed some codecs for it. I recorded some videos and imported them to premiere. When I put it in the sequence and press play, it just shows a black screen, but the sounds play. I played it in photoshop and vlc fine but not premiere pro. Also, I opened a project i've been working on before the video capture install and it plays the sound but shows a blank preview. It worked fine before. How can I fix this? Do I reinstall premiere, or reset something?

Welcome to the forum.
What CODEC is used by your capture software?
What CODEC's did you install?
Were those recently installed CODEC's in a free CODEC "pack," and if so, which one please?
Good luck,
Hunt

Motion not exporting video, just a black screen

I am creating some scrolling text in Motion and when I export the file I am using the same setting I always have. It is a quicktime movie and I am using the current project and canvas settings. I haven't changed anything but after a few times of exporting scrolling text it only shows a black screen in the exported file. The first few work fine. Any ideas?
Thanks for your time.

I've seen this problem off and on again for so long now I consider it a feature and not a bug. I have no idea what causes it as I've seen it happen with different versions of Motion, under different versions of the OS on different Macs.
The solution for me is to export as an Animation file when this happens. Nothing else works from reinstalling to trashing the com.apple.motion.plist file.
I've also never ever ever had a .motn file in FCP's timeline render as anything but pure black. Even trying it on different machines in different editing suites. It just doesn't work and never has for me.

IChat video only in black and white?

When I use iChat, the video output is only in black and white. Does anyone know how I can get it to return to full color?

Hi,
Click on your own Video icon so you have a Preview of your Video
GO to the Video Menu and Select Video Effects.
In there whichever "Page" it is On select the middle one.
iChat will remember any Effect or, on Intels, any Backdrop you set if it is still active on ending A Video chat.

Videos app loads black screen

Now whenever I load the Videos app the screen turns black, I left it for a few minutes and still black, I restarted the device and still have the same issue. Worked well before even after the iOS 4.2 update. I'll try to restore when I get home from work.
Anybody else having this issue?

Okay connecting the ipad to my machine I removed all the "Movies" from the device, after that the Videos app would open. I then began to re-sync each video (all mp4) to the device one at a time.
All the video is back on the device and the app seems to work now. Not sure what caused the issue.

Video files are playing audio without video (just a black screen)

Video files are playing audio without video. It just shows a blank screen. These same videos work just fine in Chrome, thogh.

Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Video driver issue - black screen after XP loads

I've used Bootcamp to run Windows XP on my Macbook for the past year. No major issues up to this point...
Today I decided to update my graphics drivers on XP because I was going to install Starcraft II. I went to Nvidia website and it auto-detected the newest drivers...258.96 to be exact. After installation I restarted computer and booted up in XP again, this time the graphics were all messed up and it wouldn't let me switch to 32bit mode or a high resolution. I re-installed the drivers...booted up again..this time the desktop loaded but the screen was black. I do not know how to remove the drivers and revert to older ones since I can't see anything on the screen. All the sounds work when I start it up and power it down...files still there (can see files on HD when in OSX)...so I know it's just a graphics issue.
How do I revert back to a "more compatible" driver?

Hi and welocme to Discussions,
use the SafeBoot options of XP as described here http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B315222&x=10&y=11
Use Safe Mode (=Minimal) to startup XP with a minimal set of drivers and from there uninstall the not-working Nvidia drivers.
The reinstall the drivers that worked.
You might wanna tryout if 'Last Known Good Configuration' works.
Regards
Stefan
