My video is into a black square

I created a video in AE CC, 1920 x 1080. When I use AE for generating the video it looks well. But I use Adobe Media Encoder CC. Some times my video appears into a black square, and some times not. Whats wrong ?

Exporting movie I get a smaller video enclosed into a black frame

I don't understand why, when I make "export movie" for a clip in motion, I get always a smaller video enclosed into a black frame...
What I miss??

I know you're talking about Motion 5 - I'm trying to find out if you still have Motion 4 (or earlier) installed?
Ok - those look like export settings, and I don't have any of the ones you list after Uncompressed — interesting. What I'm talking about are the Project Presets (Motion > Preferences > Presets pane)
All the presets with the lock icons are the defaults and that last one is a custom preset I made for 30fps.
Anyway - I had that same problem of the black border around exported video in Motion 4 and I believe Motion 5 will share the presets from Motion 4 if you had it installed at some point. The black border, from what I understand, was supposed to be a region of "overscan" that is typically used in television broadcast and would not have been seen over broadcast. Motion 5 doesn't seem to add the overscan which is what is leading me to suspect that Motion 4 is involved still. So, if you did have Motion 4, try going to:
~user/Library/Application Support/Final Cut Studio/Motion/Presets/
and zip the Project folder to back it up, and toss the Project folder in the trash. Restart Motion 5. You will lose your custom presets in Motion 4, but for some reason, trashing the old presets folder fixed other issues with Motion 5. If that doesn't work, you can restore the old presets.
I just ran a test out of motion 4 with Broadcast HD 1080/60i preset and the Info I get back in quicktime is:
You can see where the format is 1920x1080 (1888x1062) actual size in parentheses. I did the same test in M5 with the broadcast HD 1080 preset and it came back 1920x1080 actual... I guess you can draw your own conclusions. And, I may not know what the **** I'm talking about!! Since Apple Pro video apps use Core Video, it might just be an OS thing, so maybe you should consider which OS you're running as well. It's been at least a couple of years since I had to deal with the problem. My workaround in Motion 4 was to create Custom presets that duplicated the features of the standard presets for 1920 x 1080 square pixels and an aspect ratio of 1.00.

YouTube video covered by a black square, video is playing but obstructed.Caused by CSS

YouTube video covered by a black square, video is playing and controls are working but obstructed.Caused by CSS .I tried disabling css and the video is visible, removing or changing
position: relative in #watch-player embed
or
display: block; in #movie_player
using firebug also works.
edit:
I also tried using a portable version with no addons and it works
possible addon related i will try to see witch addon

After much experimentation i tracked it down to the userscript known as
Youtube HD Ultimate.

Transfered video's from Casio Exilim appear as black squares in iPhoto 08

Video's appear as black squares within iPhoto instead of first frame. Nevertheless the black squares still have video logo and duration indication and after double click will open and play in Quicktime. However, this is quite inconvenient if you look for specific videos.
How to fix this?
(I used a Casio Exilim compact camera to shoot these videos)

Chrisjan:
Are you able to play the videos even though the thumbnail is black? You might try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Printing the PO - Logo comes out as a black square

Hi!
When we are printing our smartform from SRM the logo does not turn out well. It is just a black square. When we are printing a smartform from ECC with the same logo it turns out well. The settings for the printers are the same in both ECC and SRM.
What could be the problem?
Sincerely
Anders Öhrling

Hi!
We are in SRM Server 550 and it look like the note is for 500. We are not having any problems with the print preview. It is only when we actually print the smartform that the logo turns into a black square. We have also tried using a black and white logo with no result.
Sincerely
Anders

Video embeds show up as empty black squares

Related to: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/967209
In firefox 27, 28, and nightly youtube embeds frequently show up as blank black squares. I cannot even right click them to inspect the iframe containing the video. No controls whatsoever are available. Safe mode does not change this behavior. Disabling the Shockwave Flash plugin causes the videos to load correctly as html5 video. Flash youtube embeds work fine in IE11 and chrome.
Ex: the 4th and 5th video embedded in this page http://lajollacreative.com/blog.html are blank while the first 3 load fine and appear to be using the html5 player.
Edit: If I go to http://lajollacreative.com/blog.html and modify the URL in the iframes of the offending videos to remove the "http:" or "https:" the video loads correctly. It seems that flash youtube embeds are broken in firefox if the URL is prefixed with "http:" or "https:"

The pattern I see is a problem with the videos in iframes that use a secure (HTTPS) URL. The player loads into the iframe, but the media never loads.
You can extract the iframe src URLs and display them above the iframes for diagnosis using a little snippet of script.
Open Firefox's Web Console below the page by pressing Ctrl+Shift+k. Then paste the following next to the caret (») and press Enter to run it:
var ifs=document.getElementsByTagName("iframe"); for (var i=0; i<ifs.length; i++) {var p=document.createElement("p"); p.appendChild(document.createTextNode("iframe src="+ifs[i].getAttribute("src"))); p.style.color="red"; ifs[i].parentNode.insertBefore(p, ifs[i]);}
But... I can't figure out why there is a problem. ??

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.

Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

Downloaded a movie from iTunes to my iPad. 2 minutes into the movie it stopped and My Videos is stuck in black screen mode. So basically rented a movie and never watched it.

The EXACT same thing happened to me last night! Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze. When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen. None of the other videos I own will display either. Was your problem ever resolved?

Importing a video that is portrait and make the black square

I Know how to make a video to landscape but how do you make the black square to landscap?
thanks

Your comp looks to be set to a standard wider than high format and the video looks to be upside down. You have two options. If you want the comp to be the size you picked when you created it then you have to scale your video to fit vertically (that's an option in the transform menu) and you have to rotate the video layer 180º. If, on the other hand, you want to have a comp that is the same aspect ratio as your video then you should simply select your video in the project panel and then choose File>New Composition from Selection. Then, if your video is really upside down, rotate it 180º
If you are very new to AE, and it sounds like you are, please go through some of the basics and study up. Basic Workflow

How Can I Encode a Video and Lose the Black Bars?

I have a .wmv file. According to the properties it is 720x480. The video is rectangle, not square... So I'm assuming it is technically widescreen. I brought it into premiere cs4 to auto color it. I'm exporting it with media encoder and this video has black bars. Is there a way to get rid of them? It seems when I play the file on my PC before doing anything in premiere, they are at the top and bottom. Right now I am exporting it and in the little preview box they seem to be on the top, bottom and slightly wider ones on both sides. Not sure how those got put in the mix. Can I get rid of all black bars? I'm guessing the camcorder puts them there at the top and bottom, so how would i know what the height and width of the video would be without them anyway? I'm confused...
The project settings were standard ntsc DV at 720x480 widescreen.
Thanks!

Thanks for your reply Hunt... I got the program and loaded my video file into it.
The PAR and DAR area is blank. It does say SAR 1.500 (3:2)... Does that help?
Thanks!

Black Square Image on Screen

There is an image of a black square with an up arrow on the lower right corner of my screen. Does anyone know what that is? Sometimes it has a line though it. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ruggs,
Can you tell us a bit more? What model system do you have? What OS were you running?
When did this first happen? I.e. after any updates, etc?
If you go into the BIOS, does it see the hard disk listed?

Itunes Videos Home Page completly black

Hello,
I'm currently using Itunes 6.0.3 for Windows on two different computers (WinXP) and on both I've got the same issue: the 'Videos' home page does not show anything. Nothing, it's just a big black square.
Is anyone else experiencing the same?
Windows XP

Thank you very much, katrina! If I'm not wrong, on a previous version of Itunes the 'Videos' link on the sidebar would show the Videos Home Page, not your personal collection of videos. Same thing for the 'Podcast' link. It used to show a podcast home page with a podcast search, correct? Now instead it shows the podcasts you subscribed for but at least at the bottom of the page you have a link to go to the podcast directories.

IMAQ image with black squares

Hi. I'm using LabView to take a series of images with a camera. When I
preview the image in the camera's software it appears normal. I use
Labview/IMAQ and the VIs that came with the camera. The problem is that
the output TIFF files have this nasty black square checker pattern. I'm
making 8bit images. I there something I can change in IMAQ or the
output as TIFF that could explain this problem? Or is it likely
something in the third party VIs? I can explain more if need be.
Thanks,
-SHane

Shane--
The first thing to check whether it is the 3rd party VI's or not. You didn't even mention what kind of camera you are using, but whether you have a framebrabber or not, if you go to Measurement and Automation Explorer and try to do a snap there do you still see this behavior? This is where you can directly interact with the driver to see what the software is interpreting from your camera. Depending on what type of camera you have you may need a camera file. You can check at www.ni.com/camera to see if we have one. If not, you might check with the manufacturer, if they have VI's they might also have the camera file. If you respond back please include what type of camera and framegrabber you are using. Also, what type of video signal does the camera send out? [If its is a standard you won't need the camera file] Just let me know and we can work from there.

ISight flickering black square

Hello,
Recently I have been having problems when recording videos through my isight camera directly in imovie HD.
I noticed both large and small black squares flickering on the screen when recording a video. It only appears whilst recording and not during playback of what I've just recorded.
I shut down imovie the first time it happend thinking it was a one off occurance and then it has happend numerous other times.
Has this happend to anyone else?
I thought it may have been due to me playing music in the background through itunes whilst recording the video, which may have caused the problem (and picked up through the isight), but it happens without playing music.
Please help, I might have to take my macbook up to the store if there is no solution as I use imovie all the time to make youtube videos!
Thanks in advance

Hello, Michelle
The condition you note is a feature of the software in view of the considerable processor power required for capturing and recording digital video.
When your Mac's processor is working near maximum capacity, OS X and apps like iMovie make decisions of which process should be given priority. When necessary, iMovie sacrifices video monitoring quality to keep record quality high. This seems better to me than keeping the monitor screen sharp but missing frames in the recorded video.
Does your MacBook have the maximum amount of RAM installed. If not, add as much as possible to maximize performance. Additionally, make sure your Mac OS X Maintenance is up-to-date, disconnect all peripherals, quit all other applications before launching iMovie for recording, and make your iMovie window as small as possible. These suggestions will maximize your MacBook's efficiency and minimize processor power requirements while recording.
If the condition persists even when you follow these suggestions, and if you cannot accept the pixilation in the monitor window pane, you can consider capturing your clips with a camcorder or a different movie or video clip application for later import and editing with iMovie.
If none of the above meet your needs, the only remaining suggestion I can offer is that you use a computer with more processor power. For instance, my Dual-Processor G5 Tower Mac is not bothered by pixilation when running iMovie only, but though my old iBook is.
Cheers,

Large white or black squares while editing

I've been using CS5.1 for quite awhile with no problems. Suddenly, when I attempt to edit a photo, large areas are either white or black squares or oblongs. I don't know what to do to fix this issue.
Would reinstalling help?
TIA

Sounds like a video card issue. Have you updated your video card driver?
