Image playback on TV monitor problem

Right, my DVD is made up of still images (300 dpi, RGB, JPGs) and when the DVD is played on a TV two of the images seem to "dance" on the screen. One has a pan across the image applied and the other is still with no effects.
I tried the de-interlace filter, the image stabalizer filter and tried re-importing the images. The re-import solved the problem with the still image with no effects but the pan image is still "dancing".
The problem is not noticable when played on a Mac.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

LUCY,
It sounds like you're seeing interlace flicker due to fine lines in your images.
• If at all possible, monitor on a TV while you work in your timeline so that you don't have to waste time and media burning a DVD to see the results of every tweak you make. The low-resolution proxy image you see in FCP tells you nothing about how your finished project will look, and watching your finished DVD on a progressive computer display tells you nothing about how it will appear on an interlaced TV screen.
• What are the dimensions of your images? FCP does an okay job of re-sizing, but an image editing application like Photoshop is a much better option for shrinking them down to size.
• The Flicker Filter usually works very well for me for reducing interlace flicker and offers 3 levels so I can balance flicker-reduction with sharpness. Other folks swear by a regular old Gaussian Blur.
• The image-stabalizer filter isn't the right tool for this problem and may make things worse.
Good luck,
Zap

Sequence playback on TV monitor problem

I've been having trouble getting HD sequences to playback on a connected TV (Standard DV plays back fine).
The tape deck and monitor are connected via component cables, and playback is fine while playing HD footage in the deck. In FCP, I change the easy set-up settings to HDV - 1080i60 and capture footage fine. When I start editing and want the footage to playback on the monitor, all my video playback options are grayed out under the Audio/Video Settings (except for Desktop Preview). The only way I've been successful in getting my HD sequences to playback on the TV is by changing the easy setup back to DV-NTSC while editing. However, doing it this way letterboxes the video on the monitor and degrades the footage. Any help would be appreciated.

That is the only way you are going to get HDV footage to play out via firewire...and show up on an SD monitor. By letting FCP downconvert the signal to a DV one...and not a good one at that. This is only meant to allow you to get an image onto an external monitor so that you can see your footage...basically a client monitor.
To get HDV out nicely to a monitor you need an HD capture card...
#25 HDV external Monitor Viewing
Shane's Stock Answer #25 - HDV external Monitor Viewing
To view HDV on an external monitor you are going to need to purchase a capture card, like the ones Decklink (www.decklink.com) or AJA (www.aja.com) offer. They will both play out HDV in real time. The catch is that you cannot view this on a regular TV or NTSC monitor. Since this is HD, an HD monitor will be needed. HOWEVER, both cards are capable of down converting the signal so that it can be displayed on an SD monitor. This won't be color accurate
HDV cannot be played out of FCP via Firewire because it's Long GOP structure is too taxing on your processors to spare the system resources needed to drive an external monitor.
The best option you have is the Matrox MXO...$1000. This coupled with an Apple 23" display gets you color correction quality...but, it isn't compatible with COLOR yet. www.matrox.com
And there are the Decklink Intensity and Intensity PRO cards as well.

i have purchased my Mini display port to VGA adaptor and connected it to a convertor box outputting to video wire (Yellow one forgot its name) the mac recognises it and i can view my mac desktop on it but all i want is to be able to press play on the canvas and have it play in broadcast quality in full screen on my TV but it wont happen despite various other tutorials telling me how to do so. i used to be able to do this with ease on my old PC even with movie maker, any suggestions on how this can be done? ill be very grateful, Joel

"... play in broadcast quality in full screen on my TV ..."
You cannot accomplish this via the miniDisplay port and VGA. In this mode, you will see your full computer desktop on the TV (not just the FCE Canvas) and it will not be very good resolution.
You need an analog-digital converter connected via FireWire to your Mac. Most miniDV camcorders can serve as the converter. (Mac->FW->camcorder->analog a/v out->TV). Otherwise, you will need a converter like the Canopus ADVC-110.

Lightroom 4.2 - Experiencing problems with images viewed on 2nd monitor

Hi All,
This problem seems to have started with my updating from 4.1 to 4.2. I have my second monitor set as Loupe - Normal and Fit. As I crop an image on my main monitor, the 2nd monitor view does not always change to the cropped view. If I switch to a different photo and then back to the one I just cropped, the 2nd monitor view will then show the cropped image, but it is almost always blurry. Sometimes I can click the image in the 2nd monitor view to change to a 1:1 view and it will look sharp, and then click again back to Fit and then it too will be sharp. Other times I get a message in the 2nd monitor view that says "no image selected" and bouncing back and forth between a different image will correct this.
This all started off with the majority, but not all cropped images showing as blurred and progressed to what I have described above. I seriously though I had a focus problem with my camera!
Is anyone else experinecing this since updating? Suggestions?
Below is the suggested information to provide...
What version of Lightroom? 4.2
Have you installed the recent updates? Yes, 4.2
What operating system? Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
What kind(s) of image file(s)? All images are converted to .dng upon import
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? No error messages.
What were you doing when the problem occurred? I am in the develop module cropping images etc.
What other software are you running? Silver Efex Pro 2, but I have had that installed in many prior versions of Lightroom
Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? 32 GB - Yes, I know - overkill...
How much free space is on your system (C:) drive? 119 GB of 223 GB of my solid state drive c:\
Has this ever worked before? Yes
If so, do you recall any changes you made to Lightroom, such as adding Plug-ins, presets, etc.? No other changes other than updating to 4.2
Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers, or installing/uninstalling any programs? No, no other changes.
Thanks!

Video playback on external monitor only producing still frame

I am trying to use a HD TV as a playback device as managed to get it to work, however it has now stopped working and only produces a still frame. When I hit play it will play fine in the timeline but display only a still frame on the second monitor. I have made sure that the settings under video playback are set to full screen and that mirroring is turned off.
Even when I play back on Main the image on the main monitor only displays a still frame until the second monitor is unplugged.
Am I missing something?

How is the TV connected?
If via firewire and an analog/DV converter, are you feeding the HDTV something other than a DV signal? If so, it won't work.

KONA 3 will not playback on CRT Monitor

Hi
I am having problems with playback of clips and sequences in a DVCPRO HD 720p50 project. When I view clips on a JVC CRT monitor, via SDI out, using the 625i 25 down conversion feature in the KONA control panel, I only get a still frame until I stop playback at which point the frame updates to the current frame. Strangely, if I drag the playhead through the clip I can see the clip playing fine.
I have made sure that 'External Video' setting in FCP is set to all 'All Frames'.
I've made sure that the Video Playback option is set to AJA Kona 720p 50 8 bit (1280X720).
The Kona 3 Control Panel has been set up the recognise the 720p50 frame setting and down convert to 625i25(PAL) for output to the SD CRT monitor.
The only time I get proper playback on the monitor is when I set FCP video playback to AJA Kona 720p25 8 Bit DVCProHD(1280x720). However I get an awful strobe effect on the monitor.
I'm wondering whether the KONA presets even support this type of project/clip as nowhere can I find a preset that recognises my frame size - 960x720. The footage was shot on the Panasonic HVX200.
Any help would be really appreciated as I've spent many hours trying to find the right settings
Thanks

I suspect that the cameraman recorded the material at 720p50 PN. This uses less space on the P2 card or Firestore, but the footage has a timebase of 25 fps, which apparently the Kona card doesn't handle.
Ask the camera person to record at the normal 720p50 setting on the camera, and the normal P2 or Quicktime setting on the recording media.
As for the footage you already have, there is a method in Compressor, to get it to 50fps.
For the setting select Advance Format Conversion - DVCPRO HD 720p60, and in the inspector Encoder (2nd button from the left) for the video settings select "Custom" and type in "50"
(By the way, this is also a workaround if you don't have FCP 6 and the new Frame Rate Converter to make a nice slow motion. After you get it to 50fps use Cinema Tools to conform the footage to 25 fps and it makes it play at 50 percent speed)
(Disclaimer - I have only a little experience with the HVX200, but this is what has worked for me.)

Updating images on a second monitor

I am sending 4 different fringe patterns to a second monitor using a VI whose front panel I've configured to open on that monitor. I'm then using a camera to capture these images. This works reasonably well with the exception that I am limited to updating the image every 200 millisecs before the camera image quality begins to degrade,although not all images are affected int he same way. The resolution on my second monitor is set to 1280 x 720 and the refresh rate is 60Hz. My graphics card is an nVidia K2000 quadro.
Ideally I would like to update the image every 100msecs and still obtain acceptable image quality. Any suggestions as to how I might be able to speed up my image display and capture without image degradation?
Thanks LW

I'm not sure that I understand your suggestion. I am using the image in the subVI to display my fringe pattern on a second monitor. I don't want to create an image of my subVI front panel or save it anywhere. The for next loop in my subVI displays my sequence of fringe patterns in the image window which is expanded to fill the whole of the monitor. My second monitor is a pattern generator in effect.
There seems to be a limit as to how fast I can update the displayed image before I start to see image corruption from the camera. As of now I'm not sure what the root cause is. It could be that LV takes some time to send the image to the monitor, maybe it's windows not responding in a timely fashion to an instruction to update the image, maybe the it's the camera, the graphics card or the fact I'm using a subVI. Given that computer games must be updating monitors at high frequencies routinely I'm puzzled as to why a monitor update rate greater than once every 200 millisecs should be causing me problems.
Is there a way that LV can write an image directly to a monitor and bypass any delay brintroduced by windows?

Possibly mundane Mini-DVI to VGA into an external monitor problem

Hi,
I've had a look over the interwebs regarding my problem and it seems as if it's not unusual to have external monitor problems but I'm not sure if mine is slightly different:
I had a perfectly working set up with my new Macbook (the white one, '06 model I believe), that was connected to my Hanns-G HU196D monitor via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, no problems whatsoever. But for a couple of weeks now my Macbook just flickers a light blue colour, with nothing at all on the monitor, and my macbook is unusable until I remove the adapter. I've read about updating firmware but I can't see my desktop once the macbook is connected to the monitor so it's not possible to configure anything. I've read somewhere that my external monitor isn't compatible with this set up, but it was until a couple of weeks ago!
My Macbook's 4 months old now and since then I've bought a new mini-dvi to vga adapter and a new VGA cable, no connections seem loose on either mini-dvi port or my monitor's vga port.
Thanks if you can help!
Jack

You will need to use a mini Dvi-dvi and a dvi-svideo/rca adapter.
Joy joy hallelujah.
Pardon the sarcasm...I just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to sort the issue out.
Heard a KWORLD PlusTV PCTOTV Converter SA235 USB 2.0 Interface would sort the issue out for under 40$ but it's not Mac.
Hope that helps.

M93p dual monitor problems; monitor turns off and cannot be turned on again

Hi,
we have multiple M93p tiny computers causing problems in dual monitor setup (VGA / Displayport->DVI). Our users (already >5) keep telling us, they leave their workplace, return, then DVI attached monitor if off and they do not find a way to turn it on. This is true; the only workaround that has been found by our users is to bring Win7/32bit into standby mode and awaking it again.
Needless to say, we turned all windows energy saving options off (computer standby/hibernate, monitor turn off). Still the problem appears.
Maybe there is something wrong with DVI power/DVI signal?
- Monitor independent, as far as I can see
- Independent from Windows energy saving modes
- BIOS updates did not help
[todo]: Try Intel/(AMD?) drivers, let users test.
I haven't seen exactly when the monitor turns off because it is reported by users. I had a testing machine, but was not able to reproduce.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Activity Monitor problems increase CPU and power burn

Migration Assistant worked very nicely, transferring from a Powerbook G4 with 30GB of files and data in about 45min via Firewire.
However, after 2 days of usage, the CPU was still running at 80% and applications were incredibly sluggish. My battery calibration at full charge only showed a little over 1 hour. Activity Monitor also would not show any processes -- the list was completely blank.
The solution was to rename the Preferences folder, allowing programs to create a new Preferences folder. I then selectively populated the new folder with the main old preferences for mail, Safari, etc. This not only solved the Activity Monitor problem, but immediately drove down the CPU usage to about 10% where I'd expect it. Now the battery shows over 2.5 hrs on a full charge with the screen on full brightness (and it's BRIGHT!)
Also, Microsoft Word/Powerpoint/Excel/Entourage: trial software on the MacBookPro will mess up your migration, so delete the trial software BEFORE MIGRATION ASSISTANT.
Hope this helps some of you out there!

Another thing users who run Migration Assistant should know is that many of your background processes and helpers may slow down the Macbook.
For example, I notice that a bunch of PowerPC menu items running under Rosetta slowed things down. Also, the Microsoft Office Autoupdate background process, which is started from System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items constituted one Rosetta process running all of the time.
When I remove/disabled these background processes, I noticed a significant difference.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with the thunderbolt port on their Mac Mini's regarding using it to connect a second monitor? I've got the Mini Display Port to DVI-D adapter along with a DVI-D cable and I can't get an image on the second monitor.

I had an dual display image / setup working twice for a few seconds, but then it cut out. I think there may be a problem with the thunderbolt port.

As far as I can tell you have only listed that you have a DVI monitor connected to the Mini Displayport socket (i.e. the Thunderbolt socket) via presumably the Apple Mini Displayport to DVI adapter and a DVI to DVI cable.
You don't appear to have listed what the second monitor is and how it is connected (even though not working). As such I cannot tell what may be wrong.

Weird dual monitor problem with changing image colors

I have dual monitors, same brand and type, same color settings and adjustments, and so far image was the same on both of them. Nothing regarding monitors or color preferences I have changed, but suddenly I started having this weird problem. Example:
1. Here is the screenshot. I have pure red image, palettes and layers panel are on the second monitor.
2. I start dragging image window to the other monitor and STILL HOLDING the mouse button (like I said, dragging)
3. And when I release the mouse color suddenly changes.
If I pick window and drag again color returns to normal. As soon as I release the mouse color changes.
This is only happening on second monitor.
I re-installed graphic drivers, and also re-installed Photoshop CC 2014.
I also changed settings so the image both monitors show is the same (duplicate screen in windows) and there is no problem then. If I return to extended display problems FIXES. But as soon as I lock the computer, and login again the problem shows up again.
Any ideas what should I do or how to fix it?

I see your using Window have two displays. I not sure how windows handle profiles for both displays. Your displays are the the same models. My Displays are physically about the same size bothe 16:9. One displays 1920x1080 pixels the other 1360 x 768 so the resolution are quite different requires me to create special wallpaper. to make sean looks seamless or image on have the same composition.
I notice that when I drag a window between displays a size difference but the color consistent. When I release the mouse button I see a color shift and a screen capture shows this. And if I drag the split window the cole os once again consistent. I think what we are seeing is more a Windows thing not a Photoshop thing.
I'm using Windows 7 and CC 2014. I do notice my window drags over the toolbar and under the pallets on the second display. Your window drags under your toolbar.
