Mercury transmit issue - 2nd monitor won't play on 2nd monitor (!)

Hi there
Having an issue with mercury transmit. Am attempting to get playback on my second monitor out of after effects, however all it will do once Transmit is activated is display the feed overlaid on the same screen (i.e. my 'home' screen) rather than on the second monitor.
Have tried every setting I can find, varied preferences, monitor locations, screen sizes etc but nothing seems to work. It works absolutely fine out of Premiere so it is purely an After Effects issue. It is outputting via HDMI to a Panasonic Viera monitor and am working on a new Mac Pro 3Ghz 8-Core Xeon E5 with dual AMD FirePro D700 cards.
Any suggestions gratefully accepted!

Thanks for the screenshot, Zen.
Given all the troubleshooting you have done, and the fact that I can not reproduce the problem, I'm at a loss for an explanation. What appears to be happening is that After Effects is using incorrect coordinates for the second monitor. Whether it is receiving incorrect coordinates from Mac OS or it is incorrectly adjusting the coordinates itself, I can't tell.
That's not to say I'm out of ideas yet.
One question is what do you have plugged into the Thunderbolt ports on the Mac Pro? I assume your primary monitor is connect to one, but what else is connected and which ports are they plugged into?
There are 6 Thunderbolt ports on the Mac Pro, but they only serve 3 Thunderbolt busses, and the HDMI shares one of the busses (ports 1 & 3 are bus 1; ports 2 & 4 are bus 2; ports 5, 6, & HDMI are bus 0). It's recommended you do not have more than one display device connected to a single bus.
So, if you have more than one display device connected to a single Thunderbolt bus, or if your primary display is on bus 0, try changing the ports the displays are plugged into.
Here's a number of other ideas and questions off the top of my head:
- In the Preview panel, is the Full Screen option enabled?
- In System Preferences > Display, for that monitor, what happens if you set the Resolution to Scaled and set the resolution to 1280x720, or any other value?
- Try creating a new user account, and test After Effects under that account. Sometimes there are non-obvious preferences or settings, this is the easiest way to isolate to that.
- Try resetting the SMC and/or NVRAM (PRAM):

  • Audio issue on ipad - won't play more than on sound at a time.

    I have a module with some background music, voice overs and various sound efx.
    On the ipad only one sound will play at a time. So if there is background music it disappears when the voice over comes in and if there's a sound effect on top of voice over there is a disruption to the voice over.
    It seems to work fine on desktop, laptop and even android devices.
    Is this a known issue? Anybody have a solution or workaround?
    The only thing I can think of is having all the audio pre-mixed.
    any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Hi there,
    Avoid overlapping audio in the project. If at all you need overlapping audio, read the article Adobe Captivate audio for iPad.
    If you use overlapping audio, then please check this article from the help file on 'best practices for creating projects for I-pads':

  • Mercury transmit not playing on third monitor (HDMI)

    I have 3 monitors attached to my mac, two via DVI and one via HDMI. Using mercury transmit to try and play video out to the HDMI monitor does not work. If you select monitor 1 or 2 it is fine, third one as shown just does not display.
    Any ideas? Is it limited to 2 monitor outputs?

  • Audio "sub-clips" won't play in source monitor, but will play when cut into a sequence.

    I'm cutting an "audio only" project in Premiere and I came across a strange problem while making sub-clips. The first 6 sub clips made from the same master audio clip were normal, but then something changed, and the rest of them won't play any sound while in the "Source" window, even though while in the window the sub-clip displays a waveform.
    Once edited into a sequence they play normally, but not being able to listen to the sub clips in the source monitor is annoying, and louses up my whole editing routine for this kind of project.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening, or what I might do to fix it?

    Number of issues here:
    1. Your system does not meet minimum requirements.
    2. Your CPU, disks, memory are not enough for anything other than DV.
    3. What video camera was used with what codec on what OS with which version of PR. etc.
    Some suggestions... and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

    ...I've even dipped into "The Onion" for answers and still came up short.
    EDIT: I've heard theories of a faulty HDMI port in my Monitor... My argument is that it hasn't moved in the 4 years I've had it and if anything were to get into it (which it hasn't), it's nothing a simple Keyboard Cleaner couldn't fix. It's not bent or damaged.

    Hi PlatinumRooster:
    t
    Thank you for your inquiry.
    If the monitor played BD before than it is not the monitor itself.
    To test the HDMI port try connecting another device, does it work?
    I am sending you a link to a document on "HIgh-bandwidth Digital Content Prortection    http://goo.gl/upaid
    You may wish to consider troubleshooting the BD player.
    Software can also affect this issue.
    If you wish further assistance would you please provide the model on your computer.
    I hope this is helpful.

  • Mercury Transmit breaks greater than 1920x1080 external monitoring

    Hi all,
    In Adobe CC in Quicktime Preview, there is an option to "Scale and Letterbox Output to Fit Video Monitor" in the Video Preview preferences.  This enables the ability to monitor 2K and 4K footage on hardware (in my case the Blackmagic Mini Monitor) that only supports up to 1920x1080 playback.
    In CC 2014, this functionality does not seem to be present, in the same way the Premiere has not and does not support this function.
    Anyone have any ideas?  Anyone from Adobe want to chime in?
    Thanks!

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks for the response.
    "it doesn't have context in how Mercury Transmit works"
    Are there plans to include this functionality?
    "You can preview your 2K or 4K comp by nesting it into a 1920x1080 comp and scaling it down to fit, and using that comp for video previews."
    Thanks for the suggestion, although I wouldn't really consider this a usable workaround.  You lose realtime feedback, which is the primarily the reason I need to use an external monitor in the first place.
    I'm curious, what exactly is being gained by using Mercury Transmit?
    Thanks!

  • Encore DVD Writing Cancels won't play on DVD player issue

    So I have a very confusing issue with encore.
    When I press build everything works fine. Then writing begins. The moment the writing reaches the end of the progress bar (the exact moment)  the progress bar goes to empty and the bottom bar says canceling and ejects the DVD. Usually (not every time) a pop up menu saying "end of file" appears next. When I press ok for end of file message the pop up disappears and suddenly the DVD progress bar is filled and the DVD says completed (as if nothing just happened). So I'm confused whether it worked or not!
    I reinsert the DVD that just ejected into my Mac and it works! Then I put it into a DVD player and it won't play, it won't play on my old Xbox 360 either, but it WILL play in a Bluray player?! 
    Everytime I rewrite the files I get different results. They all work on my Mac and blu ray but only 1 of 4 works in the Xbox. The one that does work in the Xbox will read in the DVD player but plays choppy and  skips  around as if the DVD is scratched or damaged?
    ! Other differences involve the write speed, sometimes the options are 8x or 4x. Other times its 3x,2x, and 1x. When the latter write speed options occur I cannot press "test before writing" it's greyed out. When 8x and 4x are the speed options I can check it.  I used different DVDs and it didn't help.
    I work for a company that needs to copy the DVDs but they can't be copied. Don't know why? 
    Here are my settings
    Mpeg 2-DVD exported from Pr.
    720x480
    Codecs: Mpeg video, Mpeg layer
    Duration: 1:10:26

    I really need help with this weird issue quickly thanks.

    Just an Update, I've tried many things to no avail still have a few others to try. Being a Large file it takes a while to try things.
    I went ahead and got Toast, but considering that the Image Iso and the DVD Folder both gave me the End of File Error and the Disc "Failed Completed" Error I figured it a no go and it was. It did however give me something that Opened everywhere (Mac,Xbox,Dvd) , but it did not play on the Dvd correctly.
    I've done numerous things in the Mac permissions end Like trying as a different user and running as the Root User, but it was also unsuccessful.
    I've Re- Exported the file many different ways, but finally had a breakthrough using a version of M2v.  It's definitely an error with Finalizing. My disc previously began to mess up and give "END of File" after it finished writing, it never even made it to the "Writing Lead Out" stage. I beleive this is why it plays it certain places fine, but probably not as well in systems (like Dvd players) that require those last few steps like writing Lead Out. 
    The only issue I have now is that when I put it into the DVD player it say "No title"!?!? AY CARAMBA!!!
    Now I'm working on trying to figure this NEW problem! I have all my menus and links in place, but no go. I think it may be related to the previous problem in that something beneath the surface is wrong with my computer. Being a used Mac with a restored Hard Drive there are probably endless possibilities, but I hesitate to think that way because it may also have absolutely nothing to do with it.
    So any help is greatly appreciated
    whether it be a specific issue you know of dealing with used Macs and issue similar to mine
    or just on the "NO Title" error as a separate issue. I'm hoping this "No Title" is something simple and unrelated,  I've already burned through about 13 discs and even more pain pills for the headaches!!

  • QuickTime 7 Audio Issue (Won't play audio in certain video clips)

    I'm having a problem getting audio to play with clips in QuickTime 7, and it doesn't play at all in iDVD when I drag a clip in to burn a DVD. I'm also having problems getting Final Cut Pro to play audio from time to time. Is this being caused by a recent Apple security update or is there something else going on?

    Quicktime Kirk,
    I have downloaded another persons inquiry because it is exactly the problem I am having. Here is his post
    "I make movies of cells and convert them to quick time and insert them into powerpoint for presentations for conferences. I never had a problem with this until I upgraded to office 2004 and now many (but not all) of my movies won't play. They seem to be there but when I click play they go white as though there is only the first image. I had saved them as cinepak and or jpeg A usually with image J or older ones from the original NIH image and I can't figure out what the problem is. I even upgraded to quicktime pro to resave them as self contained but still they don't work when I insert them. I can play them all with quicktime player and when I make new ones now in image j I save them as video and that seems to work but it would be very difficult to go back and do that with everything. Does anyone know why or how to fix this?"
    My additional comments would be I used the Sample_iTunes.mov from QT and it plays like a champ in PPT. My movies are all from 2004. When I save them in the QT 7.1.3 it doesn't seem to make any difference. The older movies insert into PPT as a QT icon with 4 color quadriant. Everything including .swf are now working in QT. Thanks for your help. When I go back to 7.0.3 they work but then I can't play my videos in iTunes unless I do an erase and a reinstall to get rid of the updated iTunes. Thanks

  • Apple TV 3gen won't play content from iTunes, Apple TV 2nd gen works fine same network

    Hi.
    Recently, after all the most recent Apple updates, my Apple TV 3rd gen won’t play content from iTunes on my Mac. I have an Apple TV 3nd gen  on the same network and it works fine. This problem started after the recent round of OS X updates( I am running 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5. As my Apple TV3 was actually new and I took it to the Apple store where they kindly gave me a new one but the same thing happens. The Apple TV 3rd gen will play content through the onboard clients like Netflix, iTunes, Bloomberg.
    The Apple TV3rd gen won’t play anything form my computer’s iTunes library, whether or not it was purchased from the Itunes store or home movies from iPhone etc. I have restored the device a few times to no luck. I have even switched routers, same problem.
    Any thoughts ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Home sharing was configured and turned on. I can actually see all the content on my Mac. When I trry to play anything i just see the white spinning wheel on the black background.

    I know this is a bit of a known issue, but I haven't seen much mention of this since early november.  are there any fixes or workarounds I heven't heard about yet? (apart from not using an external monitor.)
    It's a real shame as it is now rendered virtualy useless for me.

  • Blu Ray won't play.

    Hi all, 
    I am at the end of my rope with googling on this one.  I am hoping someone can help me.
    I moved into a house that has a media room.  In it is a HTPC with the following characteristics:
    HP Media center m9000t running Windows Vista
    Nvidia 8500GT video card
    Blu Ray player
    The room had a low def projector and I upgraded to a:
    Mitsubishi HC7900
    I did a fresh install of all the software, and downloaded all new updates (Vista SP 1being most pertinent)
    The Blu Ray wasn't working and googling led to the following actions, all failing:
    1) HP's DVDPlay was freezing.  After crashing my computer over and over I finally uninstalled it.  Eventually I found forums where they reccomended Cyberspace Power DVD 10 which I downloaded.  With this, the Blu Ray wouldn't play.  
    2) Downloaded Cyberspace BD advisor.  Says the monitor is not digital.
    3) Use NVIDIA control panel to set up dual monitors (mirror of the two with the projector as primary).  The regular monitor is hooked up via VGA.  The Mits projector by HDMI.  The control panel tells me the card, and monitor are HDCP compliant.  The projector projects the image.  But a Blu Ray won't play.  The BD advisor tells me now that the HDMI connection has given me a digital image but there is still an HDCP issue.  
    4) Upgraded to NIVIDA 335.23.   Still have HDCP issue
    5) tried VLC player.  Won't work.
    5) Uninstalled 335.23, went to oldest NVIDIA driver I could find.  Still HDCP issue.
    6) upgraded PowerDVD to 14.  Still won't play.
    Not sure what to do.  My components all claim HDCP compliance.  This includes my projector, the NVIDIA card, the NVIDIA control panel, and the Power DVD 14 softward.  BUt the BD Advisor says I have a digital signal but have an HDCP issue.
    I would really like to make this work with what I have.  Rather not buy a bunch of new stuff.
    Thanks in advance.
