My timeline is blacked out (CS6)

Hey guys,
So we've been editing a feature film in premiere in pro res for the last 3 months and in the last 1-2months in some sequences we're getting the timeline covered up by black boxes ie we can't see what's in the channels. We can scrub over it and everything is there and the viewer but we can no longer see what we are doing in the timeline at all...
Any light shed upon this situation would be incredible..we're feeling the pressure!
Best,

Premiere Pro Serious Error: Timeline Blacked Out! Wont Open HELP?!

I was editing, when I nested a already nested Mulitcam Edit Sequence in order to trim it down, and when I did suddenly the Audio Tracks on the Timeline like blacked out, bets way to desrcibe it, and now it says Serious Issue, closes out and won't repon. I restarted my computer and that project ONLY wont open. It is saved and all, plus other projects will open. ANyone had any idea what to do?
Thanks

I recall reading from another user who had an issue when nesting an MC edit, though I don't remember the details, or if a solution was found. You might try a forum search.

Imported XDCAM footage "blacks out" on timeline and when exported, which will not do.

We're having a "horrendous problem" importing XDCAM. About half the clips "black out" while playing on the sequence timeline, although the associated sound files play fine. BTW the clips that black out always do so in the same place in the clip.
A first I thought the camera operator might have been covering the lens, but we can convert the MXF video to mp4 using Pavtube and video plays the entire length of the clip.
This problem happens in CS5, CS5.5, and CS6. It happens when we Import through using the Media Tool or the other way (whatever that's called).
When we EXPORT from the sequence the blackout occurs most of the time, although every once in a while the exported clip wll play in its entirety.
We have several hundred clips we need to use and the workaround is very cumbersome and time consuming, so we'd really like to solve the import problem so imported XDCAM clips work properly on the timeline.
To view the problem click below.
This encode plays the entire clip.

This encode made immediately after the one above blacks out

Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how to fix it?

Well...
The problem has been solved in a way that indicates that the problem should never have occurred.
We finally were able to borrow a XDCAM disc reader and the people we borrowed it from also incidentally provided a bit of software called "XDCAM Transfer". THAT software solved the problem.
I have spent many many hours reading on the Sony website, the Adobe website, and any other website I could find (next to my desk I have a 6" stack of printouts that I've read) and nowhere did I see this piece of software mentioned.
Once that software was installed it imported everything, even the files we already had on the local HDD.
Thanks everyone for all the attempts.

Bridge CS6, preference pane black out

The preferences window in Bridge is mostly blacked out, I have tried un-installing and then re-installing it from my account in the Cloud but it's still the same.
I have tried making the main work area etc as white as possible but it doesn't change the prefs window, it remains mainly black!
Any ideas anyone?window

There was a similar post on photoshop forum where dropdown box was black. May have a similar solution for Bridge. Here is response to question.

MacOS - did you use a utility like Onyx to "clean" or "slim down" your system?
When we've seen this in the past, it's been due to a corrupt OS install, usually from a utility attempting to "clean" the OS install.
Reinstalling the OS solves the problem.
(reinstalling Photoshop won't do anything, nor deleting Photoshop's preferences - which tells us that the problem is not with Photoshop files)
Chris does also not like MacSweeper for same reasons.

CS6 Photoshop Update blacking out my workspace!!!

Someone help me--I am VERY busy as this is wedding season--I have THOUSANDS OF IMAGES and now Photoshop is blacking out whenever I make a selection. The navigation screen still shows the image but the workspace goes blank till I click on it--which undo's the selection!!! Everthing was fine till this morning when I was told there was an update--I want to back in time : (
HELP!!! I am too busy for this!!
Thank very, very much!!

Good day!
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
Please read this:

I know that factoring in »unforeseeable problems« is close to an oxymoron but working under a schedule that will not allow for any »unforeseeable problems« seems very optimistic.

CSS in Properties Panel is blacked out.

Some of my CSS rules are blacked out (highlighted in black) in my Properties Panel.
Does this mean there is something wrong with the CSS in my site?
Any ideas or explanation would be appreciated.
I am using DW CS6 on a Mac Book Pro Retina 15, OS 10.9.5
Thanks,

Is it not showing you an example of the CSS style? So instead of being blacked out, it is showing you what it looks like.

Premiere CS4 timeline goes black - refresh problem?

Every time I try to edit in premiere pro CS4, after a while (or straight away) the timeline goes black. Everything around the clips (not including the clips) goes black and I can see anything on the timeline except the clips. If I move the timeline off the screen and back on it refreshes normally? This problem in intermittent by persistent. I have done all the updates for premiere and my graphics card.
My system is:
OS: Win7 64Bit
Intel core i7 920
6GB Ram
ATI HD5770 1GB GDDR5
C drive is 200GB SATA1
Thanks

Hi,
I had an almost identical problem.
Windows 7 64bit
Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1
Cineform neoscene
Nvidia GT240 (latest driver 257.21)
Premiere pro would work fine until I loaded up internet explorer, then the timeline would go black as soon as I dragged a clip around. I needed to completely log out of windows to get the timeline visible again after moving a clip.
I switched to firefox, but that had the same effect.
However I then tried the seamonkey browser and premiere now works fine!
Hope this helps.

Speedgrade's monitor is blacked out/bugged

Hey everyone, I have a peculiar problem when I import footage. It happens both when I pull it off the hard drive and when I send it from Premiere. The monitor window is blacked out, or sometimes there is a faint square of color representing the imported footage at the top left corner, as you can see here. Any suggestions? I've restarted the program multiple times and googled for over an hour looking for a similar problem, and haven't found it.

I also have the exact same problem. The screen looks exactly like Nitro's screenshot and I don't know what is wrong. When I press play the tiny square of video appears to be moving, but it doesn't fill up the entire screen. Also, the monitor icon next to the save icon under the video lights up red, but when I mouse over the video, paused or unpaused, and click, I can see part of the full display, with the tiny square expanded to the entire frame. Only half of the full display is shown, though, and when I move my mouse away from the video, it goes back to the tiny square.
I'm using Windows 7, but my processor is a Core i5. I'm using Speedgrade CS6. As for the exact version, I don't know how to find it. I'm also using a 1280x1024 display monitor. The file imported into Speedgrade is a .wav file.
As for the other system specs, I have AMD, and also 6 gigs of RAM. I think the other specs meet recommendations. I hope I will still be able to use Speedgrade, even though I have an i5 processor.Thanks.

HT203477 share menu blacked out

Share menu is blacked out on final pro x, help?

To expand upon Jakob's question: before going to the Share drop down menu you need to either select the project in the Project Library, or to make the Timeline window active by clicking in it.

Blacks out after playing video

My ipod blacked out after playing a video I downloaded from Itunes music store. Not responding, does anyone know how to solve this?

There is no screen event triggered when the video finishes playing that you can use to jump to the next slide or unhide a button to enable the user to navigate forward at a time of their own choosing.
If you know the duration of the video, you can place a navigation button on the timeline at that point so that it appears just after the video finishes playing. However, you may find that on different PCs with different system specs the video may take slightly more or less time to play.

HELP - Photos black out

I have a job I have to finish soon, and when I play back part of the video with pictures, the picture blacks out completely, and when it gets the transition, you see the photo for a split-second, and then the next photo is completely normal. This happened to around 5 photos, the problem is, is that it keeps happening! I am able to take the opacity to zero on the problematic photos and bring it back to 100%, and re-render, and it usually works. Any way to REALLY fix it?
I have a similar problem. Sometimes in between transitions the photo blinks really fast while in the middle of the transition. I mostly see black.
Thanks!

I applied the Dip to Color Dissolve, on the photo before and going into the next photo. The photo that comes second in the timeline, blinks twice. This keeps happening to various photos. The photos that they happened to were either scanned or taken by a digital camera. Do you think I should call Apple regarding this.
Btw, I have an 8 Core Mac Pro, with 2 GB of Ram and my mac goes really slow when I am using Motion and Final Cut Studio simultaneously. I'm going to purchase more ram. I'm wondering if it makes a difference if I'm using an additional 2 GB of Ram or 8GB. Will I notice the difference?

Canon 5D3 Transcoded Files Blacked Out in Browser

Hello. I am working with FCPX 10.1.4, OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
I imported my Canon 5D MKIII .MOV files into FCPX and had them transcoded to Optimized/Proxy files. The length of each clip is fairly long so I stepped away.
When I came back, my files are blacked out in the Browser and when I drag them to use into my timeline they are also blacked out.
I've tried trashing the preferences and restarting my Mac and FCPX but can't seem to figure this out.
How can I fix this?

Embed all your video/audio as Flash content, which isn't terribly easy as it requires *hand-coding javascript* elements.
No, it doesn't : [flash video|http://www.wyodor.net/MoreEmbed/flashvideo.html]
Besides that, copy/paste isn't all that difficult.
Lots of Flash video players [here|http://www.wyodor.net/iFrame>.
And here are tutorials that explain how to embed such movies, or other HTML code, in an iWeb page.

Standard def STB repeatedly blacks out for a second or 2

A site search on "black out" does not turn up a similar issue, of course it may be my search skills are lacking.
New subsciber since Sep 2010. I have 3 boxes, 2 standard QIP2500 phase 3 (basement/MBR) and 1 hi-def (LR). Hi def TV in MBR, standard in other 2. Both standards would on occassion 'black out' for just a second or 2 ever since original install. No problem with the hi-def. One standard is wired with coax, one with s-video, the hi-def with HDMI. When the black out occurs, the screen will freeze for an instant, then the screen goes black, then it comes back. The information on the box does not black out, the TVs don't power-off and restart. It's just the screen goes blank and then comes back. It happens without any seeming warning, and will happen at any time of day. Sometimes it will happen repeatedly, sometimes it won't happen for a long time. Both boxes have been repeatedly reset and rebooted with no improvement. During one tech call the tech had me relocate one of the standard boxes to the hi-def location to isolate that it wasn't a location (in-house cable) problem. I thought it curious since it was happening at 2 different locations but went through the drill anyway. The relocated standard worked for a few minutes, then went black for a second as the problem does. Plugging the high-def back in resolved the issue at that location. The tech said he would send 2 new standard boxes. The replacement boxes have not resolved the issue. Any suggestions?

if it's doing that on two different boxes using both coax and s-video then I think that leaves a possibility of the coax. that would be a unusual symptom of a bad coax/splitter but try this.
Wait for it to start acting up - when it starts acting up, stay tuned to that station, and hit your menu > customer support > in home agent > network diagnostics and click ok to start.
check the video signal using that menu selection. after it's done running it will give you a general message like "you're video signals are not in the optimal range" after you see that, hit info and then look at the SNR DB it should give you a number.
32-36 is optimal, below that is questionable.
If it is below that then it's probably going to be a problem with the splitter at your house, and you would either replace it yourself, or call verizon to replace it. be sure to tell them the DB

MBP C2D 15" display blacks out!

My week old MBP C2D 15" blacks out on me. I find that it happens when applying light pressure on the back side, at a surface square underneath F1 - F5 - F - Caps Lock. Light pressure makes it flicker, a little harder results in complete black out. Obviously a production fault and I will of course take it in when I have time... this is my work tool so no way I can just leave it in for days. But that is another issue. Maybe someone else experience the same black out? My build is 8N1037

Hello
Did you find out the reason? The same message shows up in the system.log of my iMac Core Duo after the Mac OS X 10.4.9 Update, but the iMac works fine.
Cleaning all caches, repair user rights, PRAM and SMC Reset didnt help. Also no luck with Preferential Treatment tool to check for corrupted preference files, it didnt find corrupted plist files.

Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15" Blacks Out Without Warning

Quick Summary of Problem: My MacBook Pro is currently shutting down without warning. It would be more accurate to say that the screen goes blank but the machine remains on as can be heard by the fan. Nothing resolves it without powering down and restarting. It has occurred when attached to a power source or via the battery.
My machine specs: Mid 2010 MacBook Pro 15” with 500GB hard drive, 8GB RAM, Intel HD Graphics/nVidia GeForce GT 330M with 512MB, anti-glare 15” screen with max resolution 1680 x 1050). Running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with 2013-001 Security Patch installed.
I have AppleCare which commenced when I first bought the machine in July 2010.
System Profiler says my battery condition is ‘Normal’. Cycle count: 610.
Detailed Summary of Problem: Back in January, my MacBook Pro shut down several times without warning. Each time, I was creating selections on high resolution imagery in Adobe Photoshop CS5.
Not long after, I saw the ‘MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7’ relased on Feb 12 (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1633) and installed it via Software Update. By coincidence or not, my MBP behaved much better afterwards and the seemingly random blank screens requiring a restart disappeared.
But then I installed the ‘Security Update 2013-001 (Snow Leopard)’(http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1642) via Software Update and that’s the only thing I can really remember changing to my system. Since then, the black-outs have reappeared. As before, I was usually using Photoshop and working with high resolution imagery. However, one time the machine blacked-out, I was simply doing a two-finger scroll on the built-in trackpad whilst in Chrome (Version 25.0.1364.172).
The blackout has occurred twice now not being connected to power, and twice with it being connected to a wall socket. Needless to say, I lost work in Photoshop (even though I’ve begun to save more regularly) and now it feels like it’s a ticking time bomb and I don’t know when it’s going to go off.
One thing I’ve found rather odd is that in the crash log, the kernal version doesn’t seem right for Snow Leopard:
Kernel version:
Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386
System model name: MacBookPro6,2 (Mac-F22586C8)
The full crash log can be found at the bottom of this post.
Fixes I’ve tried:
1) Resetting the NV-RAM has done nothing. (was suggested
2) I’ve tried reinstalling the ‘MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Update 1.7’ by downloading the manual installer from Apple, however it now says ‘Alert: This software is not supported on your system’ which in a way makes sense given I’d already applied the firmware update, but a more accurate message along the lines of ‘This firmware update has already been installed’ would be more reassuring.
3) If all else fails, I could resort to copying over a backup I created with Carbon Copy Cloner, which was done before I reinstalled the 2013-001 Security Update for Snow Leopard. But that’s a bit of a headache too, because my documents I’ve updated since the backup will be out of sync. Another reason this isn’t a great solution is that I can’t take advantage of the 2013-001 security update, nor future ones.
Any suggestions? There’s probably no good time for something like this to happen, but this is a particularly bad time – I’m currently beginning design and finished art freelancing and brushing up on some applications I haven’t used in years. Nor am I going to make an impression meeting with recruiters without my folio being presented from my MBP.
I’ve already booked a Genius appointment 2.5 days from now, but all help and ideas greatly appreciated!

I am sorry. The page that came up has an AD for issues with a 13" MacBook Pro in the corner. I read the AD as if it were part of the article and assumed the whole page referred to the 13" model. My Mistake.
However, the issue described by TS4088 is not a soldering problem. It is a Latent Defect -- a flaw built into certain batches of those chips from the day they were packaged and installed.
If your Mac fails the VST test used to detect this Latent Defect, re-flowing the solder is likely to have NO EFFECT on its performance -- the solution is the remove the defective chip and replace with a good one.
There certainly can be problems in these and other Macs where a re-flow would be beneficial. But I caution Readers not to generalize your solution to Macs that are known to fail VST. Re-flow alone will not solve the Latent Defect problem.

My timeline is blacked out (CS6)
