  • Why is the first video frame black?

    Why is the first frame black?  How can I fix this?  When I edit a video, which includes removing the first second, and render it using medium quality H.264, the first frame is black in QuickTime, and the first second or two of video is black in HTML5 Video on the web.  When I load it in PS CS6 Extended, the first frames do not appear black.  When I render in low quality I don't get black frames but HTML5 Video looks terrible in Internet Explorer.   Thanks.

  • HT1551 I'm able to watch netflix's for about 15 minutes then the video goes black but I still have audio.

    I just set up my Apple TV. I'm able to watch netflix's for about 15 minutes then the video goes black but I still have audio.

    Is it always at the 15 minute mark?
    To make sure it's not a connectivity issue
    What is your connection via speedtest.net?
    Check istumbler or netstumbler for interference
    Make sure DNS is set correctly (settings - general - network - configure DNS - automatic)

  • Apple Site Videos appear black, but auido OK

    I don't know what's going on. This is a new iMac (purchased from apple Sept '07)
    It was working fine for while, now when I try to watch ANY video on apples site, the video is black and the audio is fine. (this includes tutorials, guides, and ads)
    I've tried using safari, and firefox, I've rebooted the computer and check some settings. Can any one help?

    Yes, I've installed all the quicktime updates. (even 7.4) That may have cause the problem. Maybe it's only quicktime videos on Apples site that I'm having a problem with. (Most other sites are using flash based players)
    I don't want to do a full system refresh (besides being a mac newbie, that's more work) is there another way around it. I don't mind removing quicktime, finding older versions and trying that. Do you think that might work. Even by removing some of the system library files. (I may be a mac newbie, but I was an advance PC guy for years, that finally got tired of all the garbage and just wanted something that worked.)
    Thanks

  • I am using FC Express HD, and for some reason, when I export a Quicktime movie, the final movie will only play audio, and the video is black.  I only get the actual video if I export as self contained, or if I exportusing quicktime conversion. Why?

  • Dailymotion thumbnail preview of age restricted videos are black.

    In www.dailymotion.com the thumbnails of age restricted videos are black. I already posted that question and you asked for a screenshot. How do I send this screenshot ? Do you have an email ?

  • Youtube video has black border around it

    I impoted a short clip from my camera (640x480 4:3 ratio) into the organizer, then from there opened a premiere elements project and shared the video to Youtube.  The video in premiere element looks fine, it has black stripes on the left and right sides which I think is normal given the source resolution/ratio.  The final video on Youtube, however, has a larger black border around the entire video, including black space at the top and bottom. Why is this, how can I get rid of this extra border?

    This usually indicates a mismatch between your source video and your project settings.
    Which camcorder model did your video come from and how did you get it into your computer?
    When you started your Premiere Elements project, which project settings did you select?
    My free Basic Training tutorials on Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com will show you how to set up a project properly.

  • AE exported video appears black in Premiere Pro

    Do I have wrong settings or something in my Premiere (Pro 1.5) or more likely in export settings of my After Effects 6.5, cause after I've exported a video clip from AE and bring it to Premiere, the video turns black. I can hear it's audio though.
    If I watch the same exported video with some video player, it's ok.
    Thanks,
    Jussi

    Umm, could you please provide some format specs? You know, I can watch videos on YouTube "in some player" and it's okay, but that does not mean that these videos will have any value in Premiere. Not meaning to be snobistic here, but everyone's telepathy can only go so far and in my case it seems I'm not tuned to your brainwave length....

  • How do i add video over black background in iMovie '11

    Hello,
    I'm looking to add a playing video over a black background in order to make credits/blooper reel, kind of like how this video on Youtube did it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM3n1T60csc. Does iMovie 11 have this capability? If so, how can I do it?
    Thank You! Any help is much appreciated.

    The video over black is easy enough. Just add a black bacground and use Picture-In-Picture to add your video.

  • Imported video all black?

    Shot test footage on my Sanyo Xacti VPC-FH1. Importing the video produced an all black screen, but you can hear the sound. Playback on the camera is just fine.
    The video is black when connecting the camera prior to the actual import, so that should tell you something. The camera shoots in H.264 format, so it is compatible right?

    Thanks for that. I think reducing the quality of the camera defeats the object.
    I've sorted the problem now and uninstalled it and asked for refund !
    I'll stick to Imovie - no problems with that.
    Thanks all

  • Video shows black

    I have a new MacBook Pro. I'm under the impression that I got fully functional version of ILife with it. Am I right?
    I've created a movie in IMovie and want to export it and create a Quicktime movie. At the end, I end up with a .mov file. Audio is functional but the video is black. Appreciate any ideas.

    Thanks. I'm pretty new to this. Having had a look around, I can see that you're exactly right. Any suggestions on what conversion would be best if the end goal is to create a dvd? Thanks again.

  • Switching webcam player video format black square problem

    switching webcam player video format black square problem:
    After the webcam player is stopped and the format changed and player is started using a new format there is a black square that appears over the screen area that partially covers up the webcam session.
    Why is this happening?

    Just incase anyone else runs into this problem, I was able to solve it by calling setVisible(false) on the current visual component.

  • Videos go black at some point during playback.

    Partway into a video it blacks out. I was at this site:

    If I have another site's page open in a separate tab parts of that page get blacked out. If I have a separate window open (to make sure I could log in to support) the input fields won't work then I click somewhere else on the page the whole thing goes black. I have to close all sessions of Firefox to get it working again. I have no problems with Internet Explorer [cringe]. My OS is Win 7 x64.
