Import glitch green lines/green screen

When I import a .mov file it ends up importing it with strange colored lines and areas of green (among other weirdness) - See above.
Some video files seem fine, but others have had this. This represents the first time running into this, but someone before me experienced this at least one other time. The .mov file plays just fine when I open it by itself.
Any ideas?

Yes... it could be the graphics hardware (probably getting too hot). Normally, lines throughout an LCD matrix indicate that electricity is not flowing though rows or columns of the pixel arrays - ground traces. However, it can also happen on the signal procesing and delivery end as well. Normally though, when adapter is overheating or failing it will cause multicolored lines ans artifacts.
My opinion is that you have a flaky connection point between the mobo and the display. When things get hot - contact might be better and the lines go away. Things cool down, trace opens and green lines appear.... or vice/versa. Hard to say without looking at it. If the lines go away after things heat up, and you can live with it, no harm is being done. I wouldn't worry about it.

Really Important Car/Green Screen Scene

Okay, I'm in my teenage years (so that means low-budget), and I'm making a movie (well, series of short movies, shall I say "series?"). There is a car scene, and I have a green screen. iMovie isn't doing anything for me right now, it won't even let me edit the size of the videos anymore. So, I'm considering buying Final Cut Express HD. Will that let me use the Chroma Keyer Effect (green screen effefct)? Before I made the switch to Mac, I was using Sony Vegas on Windows. That was a 50-100 dollar program that had the green screen effect. I never really used it though. Now, that I'm making my series, I decided to get an iMac. I need to know if Final Cut will let me do everything I need for this car scene. Also, what will I need to know to shoot it. I know I'm going to have to shoot the road passing by, but I don't know if it'll fit the background of the car scene. I'm afraid one will end up being too up close, making everything look bigger. Please help me, I'm just a beginner, and I really want to make it big one day.

Hi Anthony,
Yes, Final Cut Express has effects for chroma key and green & blue screen. They do essentially the same job except the chroma key effect gives you more detailed controls; it's also more challenging to use. They all work really well, although you will find different people prefer one or the other depending on their experience and what they are trying to do with it.
As Ian mentioned, if you have one of the new Intel iMacs you should wait until the universal version of FCE is released.
As far as what else you need, you will need a green or blue background which could be either fabric or paint. Whether you choose blue or green depends on which color is less likely to be in the other elements of the shot that you are keying, although most people nowdays seem to be using green. I got a Botero fabric green screen from B&H Photo in NYC that was not expensive and it works great. They have many different screen colors & sizes as well as paint.
I recommend that you get a copy of Tom Wolsky's book Final Cut Express Editing Workshop. It's worth every penny.
There are also a number of very good articles on chroma keying on Ken Stone's Final Cut website

I am creating a video using the green screen option- I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

Imported Footage in now a green screen

Using Final Cut Pro 7.0.3 on a Mac OSX Lion 10.7.3 system. Imported footage into FCP is now showing in the Viewer as a green screen. Also, I cannot import new footage now thru "Import - Sony XD Cam." System was working fine thru 2013 and was powered down and not used for two weeks. Powered up and Compressor had issues and now FCP. Any thoughts?

I found a thread that answered this problem which many are dealing with. Try the Perian downloads below. It did the trick for me. THANKS MAK!
I also had a similar problem to most people here. Cannot playback XDCAM files after upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I called Apple who suggested a fresh install of Snow Leopard without upgrading the 'ProApps QuickTime Codecs 1.0.3' and copy the contents of the Library/QuickTime form the fresh install into my QT library. However, I decided to seek the file(s) that is the cause which is the AppleHDV.Component file. I copied the faulty one to my desktop (so I had a backup) and downloaed:
PerianXDCam.component.zip -> PerianXDCam.component
PerianHDV.component.zip -> PerianHDV.component
from this website: http://blog.lib.umn.edu/mcfa0086/discretecosine/164630.html
Once unzipped, copy into the Library/QuickTime folder and this should solve your problem, until Apple and Sony resolve this issue.
Good Luck,

Is my flash player broken? Skipping green screen glitch with sounds.

Is my flash player broken?
I'm getting a glitch with almost every video hosting like Youtube, Vimeo, vk.com etc. It's a glitch with green screen and the video starts skipping video in big parts, also making scary sounds, sometimes it starts doing it when the video is playing byitself,
sometimes when i skip on a particluar part. It happens to almost every video. I'm not sure what the issue is, I get it in Mozilla and Chrome. I reinstalled flash player 5 times, cleared cache, deleted browsing hystory, tried everything.
Please help. Here's the video of my issue:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVJm5ArYOh4

I did that, and worked. I was reading another thread and saw this (disabling hardware acceleration should work), then I restarted, and tried using HA and again green screen and crashing. Now I'm using without HA and so far, so good. I sent a report to AMD, because I'm using latest drivers for Radeons and obviously there is an incompatibility.

Green vertical lines on screen

dvd player sony model dvp ns57p has green vertical lines on screen. any suggestions. get a new playler blueray?

Please try the steps below:
Adjust the color settings on your TV to make sure the issue is not a simple screen adjustment.
Make sure the disc player is properly connected. The disc player should be connected directly to a TV or Audio/Video (A/V) receiver. It should not be connected to a VCR. This issue can occur if a video signal encrypted with copyright protection passes through a VCR.
NOTE: When the disc player is connected through an A/V receiver, you should also check the connections between the A/V receiver and the TV.
If using A/V cables, check that the red, white, and yellow plugs are securely connected to the same colored jacks on both the disc player and TV (or A/V receiver).
If using component cables, check that the red, green, and blue plugs are securely connected to the same colored Y/P B /P R jacks on both the disc player and TV (or A/V receiver).
If using an S-Video cable, check that it is securely connected to both the disc player and TV (or A/V receiver).
Try playing a different disc to see if the issue only occurs with the one disc.
If the issue is occurring with more than one disc, replace the cables connecting the disc player to the TV (or A/V receiver).
NOTE: When the disc player is connected through an A/V receiver, you should also try changing or replacing the cable between the A/V receiver and TV.
Try connecting the disc player to different input jacks on the TV (or A/V receiver) and change the input mode accordingly to determine if the issue is with a particular input jack.
Try playing another video source (such as a VCR) to determine whether or not the issue only occurs with the disc player.
If the issue occurs with other video sources, then the problem is with the TV (or A/V receiver).
If the issue only occurs when using the disc player, then the disc player may require service.

Green screen filter and scaling down distorts image?

I captured footage from Digital Video Camcorder NTSC ZR30 MC (standard definition camera 2001?) through firewire connection. Footage was recorded in 12 bit rate. Captured in equivalent DV NTSC 32 kHz. Edited the footage using green screen, scaled down to about a quarter of the frame and used oval shape video generator.
Using FCP 0.6. After rendering all edited footage, it plays back digitally distorted (digital lines constructing the image are out of sync). When exported through Quick Time Movie the image remains distorted.
What can be the cause of that?
Please help,
Hazel

When you slow down footage you are creating frames where there were none before. I'd suggest you do this in a two step process:
1. Slow down your footage and render it. export selfcontained movie, do not recompress all frames.
2. re-import the slowed down footage and apply green screen filter.

Green screen in iMovie 9

This is related to my question about flying saucers.
Has anyone used the green screen effect? My techie told me that I have to go to Lowe's Home Center and buy a certain shade of green paint (called "Green Screen Green") if I'm going to utilize this effect properly.
Anyone want to weigh in on this? Thanks for any and all advice.

That sounds like a line from an infomercial
From what I understand consistency of the shade of green is more important than the shade of green itself. In other words a green background that is smooth, not rippled fabric that casts shadows. In other video editing and television environments blue screen is used for the same purpose as green screen. So, not only a shade difference, more, a color difference.

Only raw video can be used with green screen background? What?

Latest of all software.
I have played with green screen a lot trying to make it work. The instructions say, and the only way to make it work, is to drag the background only to main time line in project pane, then drag a raw video clip from the events viewer on top of it, and choose green screen. This makes the video clip an add on to the main time line which is the back drop (like a title is an add on to a video clip).
As I have railed in other posts, this doesn't make much sense. But the real problem is you can only drag RAW video onto the back ground from events, and can not edit it any way afterwards (since it is treated as an add on, not the main time line). You can edit the back ground, since it is in the main time line.
The bottom line is: you cannot drag a RAW video onto the project pane, edit it and get it the way you want, and then add a back ground via the green screen. This make no sense.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any ideas?
bob

Well, here is a convoluted method that seems to work...
1) drag the raw video to the project pane, edit to your heart's content.
2) save it as a .mov file (i.e. you are all done with it no more changes...ever).
3) import that .mov file File, Import as a new event.
4) drag the background(s) on to project pane, make it long enough for video
5) drag RAV .mov file (which is really a finished edited file) on to background, choose green screen).
You now have an edited .mov with a green screen background.
Could green screen be implemented more poorly? It would be hard to see how.
I still feel like I am missing something. Any ideas?

How do you use green screen and picture in picture in iMoive at the same scene?

I understand how to do green screen and picture and picture... but how do you do it in the same sequence.. so when you are speaking with a background picture and you want to add a picture or a story within that picture... there has to be a way to do that..

That is a great idea! So I just do everything to the clip involving the green screen. Export it to, say my desktop. Then import it back into iMovie. Then I will be able to add a picture in picture? Fantastic! Thanks so much!

The best green screen work flow for FCPX

I over 300 clips done in green screen. Some clips are 10 seconds some are 5 min. I need to prep them for import into Motion 5 where they will be keyed and background graphics will be added.
The way im doing it now is dragging the chosen shots into one storyline then do one massive export of all the clips to one clip.
Does anybody have a better way of doing this?

Right now there is no roundtripping available for clips in FCPX --> Motion --> FCPX. Your only option is via your current method (export/reimport), or as James said, start your workflow inside Motion.

Camera video preview - Random crashes and green screens

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on a Windows Phone 8.1 app and I need to preview video from the phone's back camera. For quite some time I've been struggling with random crashes and green screens. When these green screens appear, all camera apps become affected and
the device needs to be restarted. Occasionally the phone freezes and only recovers after battery removal. I test the app on my Lumia 620.
After some web search, I found references to the same problem by many users/developers of different apps. I'm really frustrated as I've tried many possible solutions with no avail.
Here is part of my code:
//in App.xaml.cs:
MediaCaptureInitializationSettings settings;
public static MediaCapture captureMgr;
public static bool UnableToInitializeCamera = false;
public async Task InitializeVideoCapture()
DeviceInformation backWebcam = await GetCameraDeviceInfoAsync(Windows.Devices.Enumeration.Panel.Back);
if(captureMgr!=null) captureMgr.Dispose();
captureMgr = new MediaCapture();
settings = new MediaCaptureInitializationSettings();
settings.StreamingCaptureMode = StreamingCaptureMode.Video;
settings.PhotoCaptureSource = PhotoCaptureSource.VideoPreview;
settings.AudioDeviceId = "";
if (backWebcam != null)
settings.VideoDeviceId = backWebcam.Id;
else
var _messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Back panel camera not found");
_messageDialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
_messageDialog.ShowAsync();
try
await captureMgr.InitializeAsync(settings);
captureMgr.SetPreviewRotation(VideoRotation.Clockwise90Degrees);
UnableToInitializeCamera = false;
catch
UnableToInitializeCamera = true;
Debug.WriteLine("HANDLED EXCEPTION: camera could not be initialized");
var _messageDialog = new MessageDialog("Unable to initialize camera");
_messageDialog.Commands.Add(new UICommand("OK"));
_messageDialog.ShowAsync();
protected override async void OnLaunched(LaunchActivatedEventArgs e)
//.... other app initialization code
await InitializeVideoCapture();
Window.Current.Activate();
private async void OnResuming(object sender, object e)
AppIsResuming = true;
FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.5));//this makes crashes less frequent
await InitializeVideoCapture();
FinishedCameraInitialize = true;
if(WasPreviewingCamera)
WasPreviewingCamera = false; //the following line allows time for SetupPage._captureElement to be assigned before video preview starts while (!SetupPage.CaptureElementSourceAssigned) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
SetupPage.CaptureElementSourceAssigned = false;
try
Debug.WriteLine("trying to restart video preview");
await captureMgr.StartPreviewAsync();
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = true;
catch
Debug.WriteLine("HANDLED EXCEPTION: unable to start previewing");
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = false;
GC.Collect();
AppIsResuming = false;
private async void OnSuspending(object sender, SuspendingEventArgs e)
var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
while (AppIsResuming) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));//prevents crash when app is suspended right after it is resumed
await CleanupCaptureResources();
TimeOfLastSuspend = DateTime.Now;
FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
GC.Collect();
deferral.Complete();
public async Task CleanupCaptureResources()
if (SetupPage.PreviewingCamera)
await captureMgr.StopPreviewAsync();
WasPreviewingCamera = true;
SetupPage.PreviewingCamera = false;
else WasPreviewingCamera = false;
if (captureMgr != null) captureMgr.Dispose();
//in SetupPage.xaml.cs
void OnSuspending(object sender, Windows.ApplicationModel.SuspendingEventArgs e)
var deferral = e.SuspendingOperation.GetDeferral();
_captureElement.Source = null;
CaptureElementSourceAssigned = false;
GC.Collect();
deferral.Complete();
private async void OnResuming(object sender, object e)
ProgressRing2.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
ProgressRing2.IsActive = true;
while (!App.FinishedCameraInitialize) await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(1));
App.FinishedCameraInitialize = false;
captureElement.Source = App.captureMgr;
CaptureElementSourceAssigned = true;
GC.Collect();
ProgressRing2.Visibility = Visibility.Collapsed;
ProgressRing2.IsActive = false;
Any help towards a solution will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I will also advice that you start by following the
Windows Store app sample.
Is this a Windows Phone app?
The crash/green screen only manifests itself when I suspend my app and switch to the default camera app (could be any other camera app perhaps). It happens roughly 1 out of 8 times. That's why I posted the suspension and resuming handlers, which I wrote
according to the msdn instructions.
I found
this page with a sample that demonstrates the MediaCapture API for Windows Phone. Some developers have reported problems similar as mine. Has Microsoft dealt with this issue?
I've spent quite a few weeks trying to investigate this problem, without actually knowing if it is my code that needs to be debugged. That's why I'm asking if other developers are facing similar problems.
Thank you
Edit: It seems that the crash/green screen can appear when suspending/switching to any app (regardless if it uses the camera or not). Also, all works fine when the app is running on the debugger.

Green Screen and Photoshop Elements 11?

Hi. I have tried multiple ways to remove the green screen in photoshop elements. Being new to this program, I've found ways it was done in previous versions that don't appear to be in 11. The MagicWand doesn't get it all out (gotta love hair with green in between ). Is there an easy way to be able to put a digital background on?
Thanks!!
Khrista

It appears I wasn't told the truth today by Adobe when I chatted with their rep on-line. I specifically asked "if Photoshop Elements 11 did Green Screen" and I was told "Yes". They even show it on the packaged version as I saw it in Fry's this morning. But there is no mention of this in the 'features' section on their website. Someone is playing games.
I then purposely purchased an upgrade to my version 10 to 11 to do green screens and feel I've now wasted $85.
I was wondering why Green Screen Wizard was selling a plug-in for PS Elements 11 if Adobe already had it in there. I guess I know the answer to that one also.
