MSI FX5900XT Green screen on TV-out

I have a problem with my FX5900XT-card. The problem is that when I play movies, the picture on the TV-out sometimes (quite often actually) goes completely green. At the same time the picture on the computer monitor starts to stutter a lot, and the responsivenes of the whole system goes way down. I then have to restart the player, and the picture is fine for a while until it goes green again...
I can say the following for a fact:
It is not a codec-problem. It doesn't matter if I'm playing DivX, XviD, MPEG or DVD...
It's not a problem of corrupt videos. The problem occurs on all videos and at different locations each time.
It is not a player-problem. I've tried WMP 6, WMP 9, Zoom Player, and WinDVD...
I've tried updating the VGA driver, but that didn't help. I've also looked for an updated VGA BIOS, but none exists. I'm now thinking about upgrading the motherboard BIOS, but looking at the change log I'm pretty sceptical to that making any difference...
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks for any help!
Thomas Sahlin

Yes, thank you, that has helped me before, but only for a while... The problem then returns and seems to get worse over time (until the next driver reinstall).
Isn't there a more permanent solution to the problem? Can't nVidia fix this? It's very annoying...
Oh well, right now the problem seems to have gone away... for the moment...

Green Screen Renovations - Knocking out a floor & ceiling

I have this shot of a singer in front of the green screen. We did not film it and was told that in some shots it was hand held. So i masked out as much of the BG as possible and keyed it in Ae. What i am left with is a hardwood floor around his legs.
So what is a method to handle this?
The other problem is worse. as i have a cieling and wall behind his hair. In this shot i was thinking of creating a white-ish BG to sort of hide the cieling.
What do you think?

I'd use the Refine Edge tool in After Effects CC (12.0) on the hair.

Exporting Green Screen as Transparent for Interactive PDF

I am running CS5 Indesign and Premiere Pro CS5
I have a coach on green screen and keyed out the green and have a black background. I am wanting to place the coach only into an Indesign file and have him floating in front of the eventual interactive PDF. I have tried exporting through FLV and enabling the alpha encoder but have not had any luck with it working. Am I missing steps or is there a seperate way to make a background transparent? Thanks!

Todd
I am able to have footage behind my FLV when I import it. I used other footage and even a JPG to double check. The transparency is there it just doesn't export it seems like. I appreciate the help and any other help from other users. I guess the answer is with the interactive PDF and Indesign.

Why can't I add transitions to green screened clips?

I have still images with green-screened video on top. Is there a way i could merge the two or add transitions to the video part? it looks choppy with the green-screened part cutting out right before the transition of the still. thanks!

Hello, AmezLady.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you are unable manually add transitions. This sounds like you may have automatic transitions enabled. Try disabling this to see if you can manually add them.

Best settings for Green Screen Video with Canon Mark iii

HI
What are the ideal camera settings for Green screen video.
Iso?
aperature?
Depth of field settings (best to have the green screen a bit out of focus?)
Any other camera settings would be helpful.
Thanks
Rowby

Hi Rowby!
Thanks so much for writing in about green screen shooting with the EOS 5D Mark III camera. Green screen shooting can come down to some crucial elements and how well you handle the camera and the lighting.
Arguably the most important thing is to have excellent lighting on the screen. Without this, the keys used to replace the green screen will not be accurate. So hopefully you have a good set of lights you will be using to actually light the physical screen.
With regards to ISO, shoot as low as possible. We suggest that you stick in the ISO 200-400 range where possible. With good, high key, proper lighting on the screen this shouldn't be an issue.
Aperture should actually be in the higher end of the range, you would want to stick to apertures around f/8 and above. Again, with adequate lighting this shouldn't be out of reach. This is so the green screen is more in focus, versus having it out of focus, which would not yield successful results.
Use an appropriate lens to the subject, for example if you are doing wide shots- use only the focal length needed for the shoot and no wider. For head shots, close ups- use a lens that will get you close.
Following these suggestions should give you some pretty good results. Remember, if this is your first attempt don't be discouraged, green screen shooting can be difficult to accomplish.
We wish you the best of luck in your endeavor!

Live Green Screen Broadcast and Record - Which Software and hardware? DESPERATE

I want to setup a stand (for example in a shopping centre) where I can give the opportunity for people to star in their own movie and they will get a DVD straight after them being filmed.
Below is an example of what I mean:
There is a green screen with a toy car, big enough for a child to sit infront of the screen. A parent pays me for their child to star in their own movie. The child sits in the car for 3 minutes playing with the steering wheel and pretending to be in a race. This 3 minutes is recorded on a video camera, as well as the green screen being chromakeyed out showing the child in a race on a big TV that draws the crowds. Straight afterwards the customer is given a DVD of their movie.
further spec needed:
I want high definition footage for the Movie on DVD
I want to be able to record this footage as it is being shot - 4-5minutes from when the child sits in the car to getting the DVD as to maximise income/hour.
I am wanting to know which software of the Production Premium CS 5.5 software will stream it live to the TV and record it on the DVD on the computer - I know that I can stream it to the TV and use a DVD Recorder to tape whats on the TV, but apparently that is unreliable.

Thanks for the reply Mylenium.
None, plain and simple. You are looking completely in the wrong place. And it's not even a mere software problem. As a minor, you would still need a capture card to stream the camera via HDMI or professional video signals (HD SDI, YCbCr Component etc.) to your computer. It's nothing you can do with any standard graphics card. Depending on what else you require, you would probably need more specific hardware like a NewTek Tricaster or whatever...
Ok. I then will break it up. Is there any Prod Prem cs5.5 software that will live stream the chromakey footage to the TV? Surely there is a way to have a live feed from the camera to the computer without the need for hardware and then software that will stream it out to the TV - Apparently Wirecast can do this - does Adobe not have something similar ? I am going to be building a Computer around the above intended use, so a P2 Card Reader was suggested. The budget is R8000, or $800 for the exerything except the monitor.
That's impossible. Per spec, DVD can only record SD PAL/ NTSC. For HD, you would need a BluRay recorder and that's gonna cost you, especially since for what you have in mind only the more expensive BD-RE will do what you want and due to the strict licensing rules, BD recorders are far and few inbetween and thus expensive...
Mylenium
Thanks Mylenium for the clear reasons for this, I need a quality that is not pixelated to be displayed on a TV at home when the people take their DVD home to view. Suggestions on resolution?
HAs anyone else got any low budget solutions?
Some Context: I am teaching myself everything in order to do this - unemployed and know i can make this work though. I have never been involved in the field before I got this idea so I have great gaps of knowledge here.

Can I use two different greens for green screening and keep one without it being keyed out?

I am using a green screen which is your standard light green fabric.
I am also wearing a bottle green cape.
I want to key out the standard green which is no problem. However it also takes out the bottle green on my cape.
Is there a way on either Premiere Pro or After Effects to ensure the bottle green stays as it is without being automatically keyed out?
Many thanks.

There's your answer, most likely. I can think of a few methods you might try, but they're going to be labor intensive, and likely involve some roto.
Most keyers have a threshold setting that determines what colors stay and which ones go. You could keep tweaking that setting in very small increments, and if you get lucky, it might discriminate between two green values.
You might be able to precomp in Ae and use the Change Color plug to shift one of them to a more contrasty green or different hue altogether and create a luma matte.
But, you failed green screen 101, and you gotta' go to detention.
robodog, you're being a bit harsh on Jimmy Simon. He said "Might be worth a reshoot...." I can't disagree. Depending on arahman's situation, a reshoot might be easier and quicker. You never know.

Can't figure out why green screen is pixelating!

I had terrible problems with square pixelating on my production.
any ideas on what caused this... we played with saturations all day with no effect. I did have a empty green "last frame". It seemed nothing we could do would help!
I filmed with a Sony DCR-SR68 HandyCam in the highest quality and the background I chose from a Free Use source for greenscreen back grounds online.
I hope you can give me some insight here...every tutorial i have watched made green screen in iMovie look very simple... and yet we could not figure out why this pixelation was occurring!
reasons i wondered about:
green screen is too light?
...however i have seen screens look a lot worse and work
something to do with how i am filming?
...i realized that "facial recognition" was turned on which caused the camera shot
to move a little as i moved
am i too close to screen?
...i was about a foot away from screen (but no shadows) and camera was about a yard in front of
me
if anyone wants same rendering or screen shots let me know and I can email some!
Let me know what you think and if you need anymore info!
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Earl...
I know you said you reformatted the drive but just in case, how much free space on the startup disk?
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
fresh install of 10.4.7
Most recent version for Tiger is v10.4.11. Have you tried updating the software from the Apple menu > Software Update?

Can anyone help with a Green Screen Walk Out with FLV

I have seen a number of sites that use an interactive video walking out over the website. I have final cut and can create an .flv with a green screen. The problem is I do not know how to create the player for the overlay. I think I may need CS3 but I was hoping someone might have a work around.
Here is an example: www.thinkvacuums.com
I was able to take the source and put it into iweb as a test but I can't access the files to swap out my video.
If anyone knows how to do this with Iweb and not using CS3 please let me know.
Thanks,

Exporting keyed out green screen footage

I've keyed out the green screen from my footage of someone standing. I now wish to export it and send to someone else to do all the graphics behind the person.
I've tried exporting as a quicktime but when they recieve the footage they can't put any background SFX in.
Help anyone?

to export your keying you will have to make sure that your export includes the corrcet alpha channel.
look in your wireframe/ image drop down menu above the clip viewer and select alpha
you will see that by keying out you are removing the alpha (white elements) from the area you dont want to keep ( ie. the blue screen) you will need to provide your fx guys with this info.
try exporting your seq as a quicktime whih supports alpha info (like animation) and choose millions + in the colors to include the alpha.
or you can provide the alpha info seperately on a qt of the same clip duration - copy the clip ad use the extract filer to copy the alpha ino to the RGB channels and provided your FX guys with both the normal clip and the B+W clip - if they know what hey are doing they can put these clips back together in their FX package to just keep the non-bluescreen areas of the clip.
oes that make sense

When keying a green screen shot, the image being keyed goes a little out of focus when the effect is applied. How do you keep it sharp?

When keying a green screen shot, the primary image goes slightly out of focus when the effect is placed. What am I doing wrong??

Make a letterbox in Photoshop -two black stripes and a hole in the middle, place it on a higher video track.

Strange Results keying out Green Screen Using Keylight

Hi,
I'm keying out a green screen using keylight. When I look at the view "Status" in keylight I notice a strange result that I can't seem to resolve. Inside the solid area of the matte (the actor) his pants and shoes area are filled with tiny light green dots. They seem to be causing distortion on my final render.
No matter what adjustments I make to the matte I can't seem to get rid of these. I've attached a few small GIFs to show the issue.
Is there anyway to remove these dots so they are "solid" within the matte or a way to color correct them inside the solid area of the matte in the final result?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,

That's what the Despot options in the Screen Matte section are for. Alternative options include Minimax, Simple Chocker or third-party plug-ins like Re:Fill from RevisionFX. Also make good use of the various rollback options to control your Alpha levels.

Why is my audio cutting out in iMovie when I do green screen?

I am creating a newscast in iMovie using green screen. As I get farther into the movie, the audio cuts out of the scene. Why is this happening?

The audio from both background and green screen foreground clips should play simultaneously but you should be able to adjust the tracks individually.

Green screens on film when comes out of compressor

Hi guys
When my film comes out of the compression stage I keep getting random green screens instead of a clip. Definitely wasnt on my time line. Please can any one help. I am using an Imac with a 4tb G-Tech drive attached. Help please.

Hello its Final Cut Pro 7 and I am using Magic Bullet Looks. Not sure what you mean by specs of the media, sorry.
Thank you for replying - it is much appreciated. The randomness of it is what I find so confusing.

I recently took my 27 in i mac to peach mac for service for a flashing green screen. They said it was not a hardware issue but a software issue and want to charge me 99.00 to re-install it. WiIll mac come out with a patch for OS x for this?

I recently took my 27 in I Mac to Peach Mac for service for a flashing green screen. It comes up when I log in. They said it was not a hardware issue but a software issue and want to charge me 99.00 to re-install it. WiIll mac come out with a patch for OS x for this? Is this worth it?

Having a similar issue with my MacBook Pro w/Retina 2012.
I did the reinstall my self and incrementally did the updates by downloading them from Apple's website instead of using the App Store.
I found that the problem occured after updating to OS X 10.9.3.
The issue is in a 4k resolution update for mirroring displays. Not that you should be doing that from an iMac but your packaged update may have been similar even though the update was meant for 2013 MacBook Pro's.
You can try reseting the Nvram chip during boot up by pressing "Option + P + R" keys. You may have to do this after entering your password to log in if you have that set up on your computer. However this only works on certain models of Mac hardware and may not do anything at all.
After you get your second opinion from Apple, if they again confirm it's a software issue, then you should reinstall OS X Mavericks and download updates from the website instead of the app store. This way you control your updates. You will find the OS X 10.9.2 update as well as a seperate security update prior to the released update of the dreaded OS X 10.9.3
Again if you don't want the issue to occur again, then hold off on updating to OS X 10.9.3, but be cautioned that you do so at the risk of leaving your computer less secured even though it will seem to run better.
