Try the "Export using QuickTime" option. After selecting audio, video, size, and streaming options, select the "Filters" option. Based on what you say you want, would suggest you select the "Film Noise" filter with the "Dust and Film Fading" pop-up option and use either the "Sepia" or "B&W" fading option.

Video output only black & white

The video output on my Macbook Pro is now only black and white; last week it was fine (in full color). Any ideas?

Thanks, but that's not the problem. The main screen on the Macbook is fine, but the video output is black and white. So, for example, when mirroring the screen, I get a color version on the Macbook, and a black and white version on the TV (and it's not a problem with the TV).
Any other suggestions or ideas?

Re: Satellite P200: S-video to scart - black/white TV

Hi. When I link my computer to my TV via a S-video to Scart lead, the TV only displays in black and white.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Did you try different scart cables?
Not?
Then check it!
I had the same issue and I could solve it using other s-video to scart cable.
The one which I have used was wrong. It had a wrong pin assignment

Can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

can you use color splash on a photo that was edited in black and white or do you have to mask the photo before editing it in black and white?

I think you are asking whether it makes an difference whether you create the mask before or after you edit the black & white version. The answer is that since the color version and the b&w version are on different layers (as seen here), it makes no difference when you edit the b&w version.
Also consider another technique that separates the color element in the image. Here, the area surrounding the color image is a line interpretation of the scene, similar to a Tone Line Conversion, a technique that was created with film many years ago. (I am so old, I still remember how it was done.) This is how to get the result similar to the one shown above but with a line illustration created in Photoshop replacing the b&w layer version:
1. Open an image. This technique is more successful if the image you select has many clearly defined edges.
2. Make a duplicate layer. (Cmd+J). It becomes Layer 1
3. With Layer 1 chosen, go to Filter>Blur>Smart Blur. Set the Quality to High and the Mode to Edge Only. The default settings are Radius 3.0, Threshold 25.0. To increase the amount of detail in the line conversion, raise the Radius setting. Use the white-on-black illustration within Smart Blur as a guide. Then click OK.
4. The line illustration will appear as white lines in a black background. To change this to black-on-white, choose Image>Adjustments>Invert.
5. Insert a new layer below Layer 1. It will serve as the background for the line illustration. To do this, hold down the Command key while clicking on the New Layer symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the second symbol from the right. It will become Layer 2.
6. Fill this new layer with a light color. To do this, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a light color and click OK.
7. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color. Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. Layer 2 will fill with the color. Although it will not appear in the image because Layer 1 is above it, a quick check of the Layers panel will confirm that the color you chose has filled Layer 2.
8. Remove the white area from in Layer 1. Go to Layer 1. Choose the Magic Wand tool. Uncheck the Contiguous box in the Options Bar and click in a white area of the image. Next, click the Delete key. Choose Select>Deselect to remove the marching ants.
9. (Optional) You may now change the line illustration in Layer 1 from black to a dark color compatible with the color in Layer 2. To choose the color, click on the Foreground Color symbol in the Tools section. It will open the Color Picker. Choose a suitable dark color and click OK. While in Layer 1, click the first symbol next to the word Lock: in the Layers panel above Layer 1. This will prevent the dark color from appearing in the blank area of Layer 1. Choose Edit>Fill. Use: Foreground Color. Mode: Normal. Opacity: 100% and click OK. The black lines will change to the dark color you chose.
10. Combine Layers1 and 2: While in Layer 1, choose Layer>Merge Down. The layers are combined into a single layer called Layer 2.
11. Add a black mask to Layer 2 by clicking on the Mask symbol at the bottom of the Layers panel. It is the symbol to the right of the fx symbol. Where you would like full color objects to appear within the line rendition, paint in white on the black mask with a brush set to either soft-edge or hard-edge as the illustration and your taste dictate.

DVI to Video is black & White

Hi, I've just bourght a Apple DVI to Video PAL edition to use with my tv, but the picture is in black & white.
Normal you get a black & white picture on the tv if you use ntsc stuff on european tv's, but it is a pal adaptor.
Any sugestions to solve the problem?

I've tried that, but it doesn't help.
Do you, in fact, see the option to select between NTSC and PAL in the Displays System Preferences? (Just to make sure everything is being detected correctly.)
Are you using an s-video cable or a composite video cable? Can you try a different cable and/or port on your TV?

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

Black & white screen using DVI-to-Video adapter

I've got a strange problem. I'm connecting my MacBook Pro to a Sony TV using Apple's DVI to Video adapter and a composite video cable.
As soon as I make the connection, I see the Mac's screen appearing on my TV, but it is in black & white! And it flickers a little every few seconds. The only way to get to a colour screen seems to be to re-boot the MacBook. It's quite annoying.
Previously, I've always had a colour picture come up immediately. The problem started to crop up right around the time I installed Snow Leopard, in fact, although I'm not sure whether it's a coincidence or not. And I don't think it's related to my TV. Any thoughts?

same problem here... first time i plug it in after a reboot it's in color. when you disconnect it and try again later it'll be in black and white and there's nothing you can do to fix the problem. only choice you have is to reboot your computer. as you can imagine, having to reboot the computer every time you want to use the adapter is REALLY annoying

Iphone shows black & white photo's & video when connected to HD TV?

I bought the Apple composite A/V cables to connect my iphone 3GS to my HD TV. While both photo's and video do play on the TV, they are in black & white. Does anyone know why? Is there a setting in the iphone that allows color? I'm sure it's not a setting on my TV, as all other devices that I'm able to connect to the TV work in color, except the iphone. Any suggestions?

I know that on some TV's(Samsung as an example) not all of their component inputs will work properly with composite cables and will display in black & white unless the correct input is used. Try using a different input like the one labled number 1.

G5 Black & white video when booted from install DVD

It has been years since I installed 10.5 on our G5 so I can not remember if this happened back then but think it did.
When I boot from an install DVD (both the original G5 DVD with Tiger and the MacOS Leopard DVD) the video output drops to 1-bit (dithered black & white) which makes it very hard to discern the text on the shaded buttons in the GUI. The video card is fine - when I hold down the Option key on boot to select the DVD the video is full-color, but as soon as it switches to running from the DVD the video becomes low-rez dithered b&w.
Anyone else see this issue and suggestions on resolving it? The display is a Dell 17" wide model. I don't have another display that is easily swappable to see if it's a problem with it or the Apple DVI-to-VGA adapter.
The G5 tower is a first-generation 2x2 (2CPUs, 2GHz) with 2 DVI ports on the video card (can't recall which card I ordered back then).

Great to hear, thanks for the report!
I suspect what happened, was that the Install also changed some PRAM or NVRAM setting, those are where number of colors are held.
Some earlier Macs store these settings in PRAM:
Status of AppleTalk
Serial Port Configuration and Port definition
Alarm clock setting
Application font
Serial printer location
Autokey rate
Autokey delay
Speaker volume
Attention (beep) sound
Double-click time
Caret blink time (insertion point rate)
Mouse scaling (mouse speed)
Startup disk
Menu blink count
Monitor depth
32-bit addressing
Virtual memory
RAM disk

Is there a way I can export a video in the Black and White effect

On Universal Access in the System Preferences there is that option to make the whole computer in Negative and when I use that on a video i've made it looks so much cooler but like it only stays like that if it is in black and white effect.
Is there a way to make a video in the black and white effect even if that isn't on in Universal Access.

Yeah but that's black and white i'm talking about white on black
sorry for the confusion i didn't notice that till now.
I wish it co uld look liek that because the negative I use in imovie looks really bad comapred to the white on black effect.

Buying a second-hand MacBook for video editing

I've been in the market for a MacBook to do some HD video editing. I found a deal through someone selling an older (non-Unibody) white MacBook with the software I need (Adobe CS4 suite). After researching this MacBook, which was released in 2008, I'm not sure if it'll perform the way I need it to.
Here's the specs of what I may be buying (some upgrades have been made):
2.26Ghz Intel Core2Duo processor(s) with 3MB L2 (per core)cache
4GB DDR2 PC5300 Crucial RAM
320GB Western Digital Scorpio Black 7200RPM hard drive
From what I understand, the graphics processor is an Intel GMA X3100, which I have come to understand is not a good enough GPU to do high-end things like editing and gaming.
Here's my issue:
The system comes installed with Adobe CS4 suite, and I plan on using Premiere Pro intensively to edit 720p/1080p video shot with a Canon 7D. I've read that software like Final Cut Pro 7 requires a dedicated graphics card and not something integrated like the GMA X3100.
Right now, I can't afford a MacBook Pro, and I need a system soon. My question is, +will this system be able to handle HD video editing through Premiere (or comparable software)?+
Any help is appreciate, thanks.

Intel's graphics chips are horrible for gaming. They're low power and provide enough functionality for the average sort of things people tend to do with computers, but they're not set up for gaming.
But another issue with this system, is that they're selling the software with it. That's always a tricky proposition. While there's nothing illegal about it, if the person decides they want to make a copy of the install discs before selling it, and then uses the software on another machine... It can lead to problems.
Honestly, if you're planning on doing video editing, I'd recommend ruling out laptops altogether. They really are poor platforms for that sort of thing. Integrated graphics are just the start of the problems. Screen size is small, resolution is generally just a touch over 720p, limited upgrade potential, you'll need some kind of external mouse because a trackpad won't cut it. Buy a Mac Mini or an iMac. You'll have more screen real estate, no worries about batteries, better upgrade potential (though not much)... Sort of bottom line is that laptops are great for things like word processing, web browsing, and maybe movie WATCHING, on the go... They are NOT desktop replacements, and video editing of any serious nature is most definitely a desktop task.

'finally had a few min read through your email and skim the links you made in adobe'.....'as far as storage is concerend i believe the mobo's your looking at support RAID and from what i read thanks to your links, RAID 5 offers the best performance and saftey which means 4 HDD's.....' with the knowlege base your building and contacts u have you and i may just open a new direction for ePRO'.....
i try my hardest to understand RAID but since i'm a novice with computers its really hard for me to grasp it...http://forums.adobe.com/thread/525263
my brain is in overload insane trying to process all this (:
so guys... RAID 5 with the rest of the hardware i'll be using ?
like i said i'd like to have the max performance for my audio/vidio rig.
thanks again guys

MacBook - Black & white image on TV

Please can somebody help with connecting my MacBook to a Sony trinitron TV
I have a new MacBook and I'm using the following set up to connect to a 5 year old Sony TV -
Apple mini-DVI to video converter into S-video lead connected to S-video to SCART adaptor - problem is that I only get a black & white image.
Can anybody help = please?
13" white MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi essman,
As S-Video cables send their chroma (colour) and luminance (brightness) signals separately it sounds as though the problem may be found either in your S-Video cable or in one of the S-Video connectors. If only the luminance pins/wire was working correctly your video signal would appear to be in black and white.
To ensure that the SCART adapter is not the problem however I would recommend testing with a composite video cable (also known as an RCA.) With that cable the entire video signal is sent over the one pin, so you either get video or you don't. If over that connection it's still black and white, I would say the blame lies with the SCART adapter.
Hope this helps!
Jason
