ITunes 9: No Playback of Video Previews

In iTunes 9, when I click on a movie or TV show to preview it, I get a blank black window, no content, no control bar, nada. What's the problem? I just upgraded to OS X 10.6.1.

I could play "movie" videos via iTunes without any problem but for some reason music videos wouldn't show any video whatsoever, you'd just hear the audio. After trying various things, I noticed that my AirTunes room settings were set to play to two areas of my house. When I changed the AirTunes room setting back to just "My Computer" and tried playing the music video again, it displayed the music video properly without any problems.
Again very weird that it plays the audio/video for "movies" but not for "music" videos when multiple rooms are set for AirTunes.

  • How to re install itunes 6.0, itunes 7.0 playback of videos is horrible

    hello~
    I updated to itunes 7, only to find out that it requires 500 mghz.. of which i only have 450 mghz.. so the videos are delayed and horrible. now i am trying to install itunes 6.0.. but i can only find itunes 6.05 which is an update. they want me to pay for itunes 6.0, which i don't want to do. any suggestions? websites, links, etc..?
    the weird thing is when I tried to download a tv show, it told me I had to update to itunes 7? Is this really the case or can I continue using itunes 6? This is why I am hesitant to pay for it.
    nathan

    Open ./Library/Receipts and remove the 'iTunesX.pkg' and 'iTunesX 6.0.4.pkg' files.
    You should now be able to re-install iTunes 6.0.4.
    Hope this helps.

  • ITunes store music video preview problem?

    How do you get itunes to fully buffer music video previews from the store before playing them? They are very choppy and video is out of sync with the music even with a DSL connection.
    In the past you could set a preference to do this.

    iTunes 9.2 (61) and I'm getting a failure rate of 100%!
    Strictly audio, and I also find it annoying that the pop-up appears at the bottom of my iTunes window off-center nearer the right side. When the video finishes buffering +(3 Mbit connection, too)+, the pop-up window moves to the center.
    Pressing stop/closing the window, before it begins playing can wreak havoc. Sometimes the "stop" dialog will keep popping up after I press stop, or the pop-up window will move to a different position, or it's white background will render outside of the window, or I'll get multiple segmented overlapping pop-up windows...

  • Video previews not working in iTunes

    Hi all,
    I've seen this posted a few different ways without any resolution to the problem so I thought I would give it a shot.
    Video previews are not working properly for me. When in the iTunes Store and I click on a "View Trailer" for a movie or preview for a music video, a pop-up window appears in iTunes with a white background. The audio will kick in but the video never starts. I am using iTunes 9.2 (61).
    Has anyone uncovered a solution to this?
    Thanks!

    Just to clean this unresolved issue up, seemingly the problem disappeared after upgrading to iTunes 9.2.1 (5).
    Thanks!

  • An't see itunes store video previews

    I can't see any video previews in itunes even though I hear the audio (either in the artwork window or the itunes store window). Anyone able to help? Thanks!

    I could not find processor speed requirements listed anywhere.
    For future reference, they're listed on the iTunes download page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Note that there are two sections, one for the basic specs and one that says "additional video requirements", the second being the one that applies to videos from the iTunes Store.

    4. When I click left with the mouse in the preview window the actuell frame is shown and the playback stopped. When I start again, the preview window gets
        white and I can hear the sound.

  • ITunes 7.0 Not Allowing Video Playback

    Ever since upgrading to iTunes 7.0 all the video podcasts and purchased videos from the iTunes store do not play on my Windows XP Pro PC. The sound is fine but the video is just a a bunch of multiple colors and lines. I checked the IDE settings as suggested in a troubleshooting topic but still is a no go. Anyone else having trouble? Any fix?
    Re-Installing iTunes and QuickTime did nothing to fix the problem.

    Half way down the page. The reply from Roy B. This worked for me.

  • Video Preview problems

    When browsing iTunes store I am unable to preview videos - just get a blank screen.
    Checked on all computers in the house and the same occurs. Tried from work with no problems!
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Tried turning off AV/AS and some firewall rules with no joy

    There is a slightly newer 10.1.1 version of drivers available from Blackmagic:
    http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
    Thanks for posting the screenshot. This shows that After Effects does not see the Mercury Transmit plug-in for Blackmagic. You should verify whether the plug-in is present:
    os drive/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/
    The file will be named DeckLinkTransmit.bundle, or something similar.
    If the file is present, try uninstalling and reinstalling the (latest version of) Blackmagic drivers.
    If After Effects still does not recognize the Blackmagic Mercury Transmit plug-in, open Premiere Pro CC 2014 and check Preferences > Playback, and whether or not video preview works there.

  • ITunes Studders/Freezes When Playing Videos

    I am using the latest version of iTunes (7.0.1) and Quicktime (7.1.3). The Rocketboom videos that I have subscribed do not play well directly from iTunes. The audio and video frequently stops and starts. The stuttering is so severe that the podcasts are not worth watching. Another video podcast that I am subscribed plays much better with only an occasional stutter.
    I played the same two video podcasts in the QuickTime player without any problems. They played perfectly. I could even play 1080i HD videos without problem. Not expecting any difference, I disabled Direct3D acceleration from the QuickTime control panel. Rocketboom plays much better but not perfect.
    I am a bit confounded why the video podcasts play better in the QuickTime player over iTunes since I assume that they utilize the same code. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a fix from Apple? Does Apple have a solution? My video card can more than handle direct HW acceleration. DivX, WMV, and MPEG video play great from inside all my players, and I am using DMA on my IDE controller.

    I am having the video stuttering problems with playback of downloaded videos from the iTunes store as well in ver. 7.01. Watching videos with quicktime does not solve the problem. Playback of videos in quicktimeIs this a widespread problem? Has anyone found a solution?

  • Multiple Screens Disables Monitor Video Preview

    I have noticed a new bug (for me anyway) that on my Mac Pro with two video cards I cannot load clips into the monitor and get a preview. I see the clip thumbnails in the timeline, but no video preview. I just tested this by unplugging my secondary displays and that resolved the issue. Haven't yet tested with the laptop using an external display.
    I did just update to Mac OS 10.9 Mavericks, but I was seeing this behavior prior to that. Anyone else seeing this behavior?

    Hi -
    Thanks for your post and attention!!
    I could reproduce your problem on a Mac Pro with two graphic cards. The video could playback in Timeline panel and could hear the audio, but could not see the thumbnail view in Monitor panel.  I have opened a bug for this and our team are investigating it.
    Thanks & Best regards,

  • FCPX 10.0.3: no video preview, crash

    Hi all,
    I have just updated FCPX 10.0.2  to 10.0.3 and it is a disaster.
    The video preview is not working anymore: when i try to view one video from my events and pass the mouse over one, i hear the video sound, the time progressing but nothing appears in the video preview. If i try to play it (using the play button), FCPX hangs. I have to kill it.
    It is the same when i edit a project: no video preview at all. It is very strange.
    I tried a new project, import new videos, trash the prefs, reinstall FCPX from scratch with no events no projects, even make the lion combo 10.7.3 update (I updated lion the day before)...
    My FCPX is useless. Do you have any advice that may help me?
    Is it possible to roll back to 10.0.2 version via the mac app store?
    My config; MBP Mid2009 15" (GPU 9600MGT).
    Regards,
    Chris.

    ANYONE???
    FWIW, I seem to be having similar issues. Used 10.0.3 for the first time earlier today (under Snow Leopard, on an 8-core Mac Pro now with 24GB of RAM). Constantly losing video -- audio plays fine. Never seemed to have this problem in 10.0.2.  (Lots of other problems, mind you -- just not this one.)
    Found I can usually get video back by opening Playback Prefs and making a change (like switching between "use proxy media" and "use original/optimized"), then waiting 2-3 minutes while the orange bar which has now appeared over the ENTIRE timeline -- even though NO changes have been made to the timeline whatsoever -- slowly goes away.
    One of the triggers for losing the video in my case seems to be letting the Timeline play through till past the end. And I say "past" the end, because there's now suddenly a weird 2-3 minute void after the final clip of video. No audio, no "gap clips", just a big stretch of nothing. I can't figure out how to get rid of it, and the fade out I'd applied long ago to the last video clip no longer works. When the playhead reaches that transition (or nears the end of the last video clip, even with the transition removed) the video just cuts to black. The audio then ends normally while the playhead just keeps going into this mysterious blank emptiness for almost 3 minutes -- at least that's how much extra black I get when I do an Export of the Project.
    Naturally I've tried re-doing the end transition; and have of course made sure there is no media of any kind down at the end of timeline which might be causing this strange empty section. Even tried carefully selecting all the real clips on the Timeline and Copy/Pasting them into a whole new project. No difference. The gap at the end just reappears.
    (Meantime, as others have reported, I also experienced loss of parameters on several simple titles in Projects created in 10.0.2 and updated/imported into 10.0.3. Likewise for the irrational re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-rendering. Have not yet had time to test any of this on a newly-created 10.0.3 project, but I really do look forward to the day when the bulk of my work in FCP-X might actually involve  editing, with the time spent in trouble-shooting and unpaid beta-testing perhaps reduced to just a few hours a week. A crazy idea, I know -- but I can still dream.)

  • ITunes audio problem while playing video.

    I have purchased several TV episodes which play just fine in iTunes on my HP Windows 7 laptop. However, on my Dell Windows XP desktop, the same videos lose the audio after a few seconds in iTunes, but the same videos play just fine in Quicktime on the Dell.  Can anyone shed some light on this problem? Why would a video work in Quicktime but not iTunes using the same computer?

    Hello dogsters,
    The following article details a number of troubleshooting steps that should help stabilize playback.

  • Problems with video previews: image freezes when scrubbing (CS6)

    I just installed CS6 on my computer after working with CS5.5 and I encountered a strange problem with my EOS5D Mk 2 and also Ixus 100IS footage in Bridge CS6 (actually this happens with every video).
    In CS5.5 I was able to preview my mov files and scrub through them without many problems (aside from a casual crash, but hey... )
    In CS6 now the video preview starts and everything seems fine, until I scrub to a later point in the video. At that point the video freezes but the sound goes on. The only way to make the video run again is to click pause and then click play again. You can imagine that scrubbing through videos isn't much fun..
    Has anyone ever had a problem like that with CS6?
    Since CS5.5 is still installed, I checked and found out, that in Bridge CS5.5 everything is still working fine: No video freezes there - only in CS6
    I already updated to the latest graphics card driver and all updates from CS6. Does anyone have an idea what I could do?
    some stats about my computer:
    win7 64bit
    nvidia geforce GTX 590, driver 301.42
    no other video software installed
    Aside from that, I also realized that video quality in the preview area isn't particularly brilliant (neither in CS5.5 nor in CS6). Since the video is scaled to the preview window size, I sometimes get scaling artefacts/moirees. Is there a way to smooth the video playback, like you could in a regular video player?

    Perhaps your understanding of rendering is different than mine.  I think of it more as combining edits to form a new video.  Are you using rendering as the same as playback?   Also, not sure how you can have a system that has only CS6 files, as files are the same for CS5.5.  I must be missing something here.
    Manniac described the error well "In CS6 now the video preview starts and everything seems fine, until I scrub to a later point in the video. At that point the video freezes but the sound goes on. The only way to make the video run again is to click pause and then click play again".
    Believe that error is fixed as my video play OK now.

  • Sequence Settings Video Previews and GPU?

    Dear PrP CC Users,
    I wanted to get some information partaining to sequence settings.
    In the bottom box of Sequence Settings: Video Previews. There are three un/tick boxes:
    Maximum Bit Depth
    Maximum Render Quality
    Composite In Linear Color (requires GPU acceleration or max render quality)
    Normally I tick all of them. I have a Windforce GTX 770 4GB CUDA mercury engine enabled. I have also set to Optimise rendering for: Performance.
    My questions are as follows.
    -Do these selections effect the final output of a timeline for delivery or is it merely for during regular playback and preview rendering?
    -Also, when I export using Media Encoder through dynamic link, is it bad to Use Previews for a faster export, often I export to ProRes4444 for Grading, I heard that Preview files will always differ as its created by the GPU and can slightly change the colours dependent on the GPU you have, thus is it better to export and allow it to re-render using the CPU in Media Encoder (I always set maximum bit depth and quality)?
    -Lastly, in the export process, when I select Maximum Bit Depth, there are options of the bit depth value (32, 48, 64) does this become redundant since I checked maximum bit depth?
    Thank you.

    The first two boxes only affect previews.  The same boxes in the Export Settings dialog will override those and determine the output.
    Using previews for export is generally not a good idea, as doing so will incur an additional compression step.  The exception is when the previews are lossless (or nearly so, as with DNxHD).
    Not working with ProRes, I've never seen those options.
