No video playback to external FS device 6.03

Hello. I have read all the posts about not seeing video playback on my external device (TwinPact 100/FW). I can see the current frame on my external monitor so I know the connection is good. But the image does not scroll when I playback from the timeline - it only updates on the external monitor when I stop playback.
Any suggestions? 10.5.3
Thanks very much for the help.
D.

Well I noticed that they had been reset when I trashed the Prefs.. was showing PAL. But I reset to NTSC/DV and then the external monitor should Unrendered. So then I rerendered the projcxt and same problem - no playback to the external.
To be specific:
720 x 480
NTSC CCIR 602
Field: none
Compressor DV/DVpro
Very frustrating. Would footage normally need to be rendered to show on the external? Ans must the compressor by DV for it to show? I normally work uncompressed (as the project will end up on DVD).
Thanks for the help.

Video playback on external monitor

I have a problem with video playing on my external monitor.
I have been editing a 30 second commercial with several split screens and quad screens. After my last render, the video no longer plays on the external monitor. A frame plays, and then it freezes. I went thru the "Stock Answers" section and played with the RT settings and the memory/cache settings. Nothing seemed to make a difference. I also opened some older projects and they will not play thru the external monitor either. Finally, another note that may offer some clues is that when you print to tape it sometimes plays perfectly and other times it does not.
Any help provided will be greatly appreciated!

#8 External Monitor Viewing.
Shane's Stock Answer #8:
A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Then go View > External video > all frames
Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section

DV NTSC Video Playback on external monitor

I can't get my DV NTSC sequence to play on my external monitor. I know I have the computer/Canopus/external monitor connected correctly b/c I can playback some of my old Final Cut Express sequences on the external monitor. I used that as a test to make sure everything was connected properly. Since I can rule that out, I must be missing a setting in FCP somewhere?
Sequence Settings are NTSC-DV; Compressor DV/DVCPro-NTSC
View>Video Playback is set to Apple Firewire NTSC
Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Thanks.

Hi -
Go to the menu VIew > Video Playback and select Apple Firewire (720x480):
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/VideoPB_FW.jpg!
Then go to the menu View > External Video and select All Frames:
!http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/VideoPBAllFrames.jpg!
If you don't see an image, then go to the menu View > External Video > Refresh A/V Devices, then reselect All frames.
Hope this helps.

Video playback on external monitor working. Only works when Print to Video

I'm having a problem. I'm using FCP 5. When editing, my video playback is not showing up on my external monitor (Sharp MiniDV camcorder). It does however show up on the external monitor when I "Print to Video." This is the first time using FCP 5. I never had this problem with previous versions of FCP. Can anyone tell me whats going on? Thanks

Fullscreen video playback on external monitor (overlay problem?)

I want to watch videopodcasts via iTunes fullscreen on my external Monitor/TV. It works fine with Quicktime and WindowsMediaPlayer but iTunes doesn't play my Videos in Fullscreen on my external Monitor.
I had the idea it is because the overlay mode isn't siwtched on but I can't find where to setup the display mode of video playback in iTunes.
Can anybody help me?
Bernd.

oh, no...
i thouhght the iTunes Videoplayback would rely on Quicktime and thus it would be possible.
isn't there any other possibilty?

No video playback on external monitor

I'm using a open-source radeon supported card with an external monitor on my laptop. When I run a merged framebuffer setup I can see video playback on both screens fine but I just want to use the external. However, if I don't use mergedfb I only see a black window during video playback.
I'm sure I have had it working in the past, though on a diff monitor but I am certain that if mergedfb playback AND TV-out playback then this must be doable and I am doing something dumb!
My xorg.conf is here, I've tried quite a lot of things but I am stumped atm.

OK, I thought the solution was:
Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "on"
But apparently that is deprecated and I need to use:
xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1
How and when would you guys run this command?

Video playback on external monitor only producing still frame

I am trying to use a HD TV as a playback device as managed to get it to work, however it has now stopped working and only produces a still frame. When I hit play it will play fine in the timeline but display only a still frame on the second monitor. I have made sure that the settings under video playback are set to full screen and that mirroring is turned off.
Even when I play back on Main the image on the main monitor only displays a still frame until the second monitor is unplugged.
Am I missing something?

How is the TV connected?
If via firewire and an analog/DV converter, are you feeding the HDTV something other than a DV signal? If so, it won't work.

Slow Video playback on external monitor

I'm having a problem with video on an external monitor drifting out of sync. The video plays back slow on the monitor but the sound come through fine and the video is playing at a normal speed in FCP. This is only happening with video from FCP, I can play a clip in Color and there's no drift. I've opened the project on another mac and there's no problem. Also, if I set the external video play back to 10 bit the drift is worse than if it is set to 8 bit, as in a 15 sec clip takes 19 secs to play back on the external monitor at 10 bit and 18 secs in 8 bit (not exact times). I've reinstalled AJA LHe control panel and drivers, but seeing as this isn't happening in Color it seems like it must be a FCP issue. I've trashed the FCP prefs (along with AJA and quicktime), what could this be?!?

what video capture card are you using??
have you set render all to FULL, and have you rendered??

Is there an app for video playback on external screen from ipad mini which avoids mirroring?

I want to play fullscreen video from ipad mini to external screens with a clean look and without without showing playback controls etc. I need to be able to play, pause, change the order of video tracks without affecting the external display as it's for playback of video backing tracks for a music show.
Does anybody know of any apps which do this? I'm looking at Portfolio for iPad at the moment which looks promising.

No.

Video playback on mobile device

Hello,
I'm new here and probably this was asked before me, but I spent a lot to search on the net and actually couldn't find much.
I'm developing a web based application dealing with video - it should be controlable and have to interact with other elements of the app. The client now asks mobile apps - for Android and iOS, that should have same features.
I looked for solutions to play video on mobile device using Flex and building mobile apps but nowhere could find a proper explanation and results about framerates and performance. The other problem I think will be that the mobile device should play streamed video (which can be encoded in any suitable format) as well as native video - usually h.264, that as far as I understood, is not possible on iOS (I coudn't find out about Android).
On my Android device I can play very smoothly even web videos (in the browser) that are not "optimized for mobile" as it pops up during playback. I made a test and build a simple app that just plays a remote video using the Spark's VideoPlayer and its framerate was OK but the picture was terrible - some strange coloured lines appeared.
Is there anybody who has more info about video playback on mobile device, codecs, components etc. I need that info to make the choice to stick with Flash development for all the apps or to go for native development with platforms' SDK.
Thanks

Can you say even more about what it is you want to do? I mean, what will the application do, not what are the technical aspects of how it will work?
For a point of comparison, look at this thing I did:
http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/mixit/
If you try out the Make page, both the template ones and the from scratch one, as well as the View page to see the playback unit in action. Is what you're going to do anything like that?
I have tried the playback part of this as a mobile app, and it so very nearly works ok! Amongst the many problems are that the overall data rate needed is quite high, and mobile devices aren't as consistant or high bandwidth as desktops, the external swfs often need code in them, so that rules out iOS, and to do the layering involved rules out H.264.
At some future time there will hopefully be StageVideo that can use H.264, but I don't know when that will be, or whether it will be responsive enough (FLV is much faster to connect to and play than H.264).
Incidentally, even in the Objective-C world you can't lay things on top of the standard iOS H.264 player. To do that you have to use the AV Foundation class, so it's fairly low level programming. Using FLV in Flash is a lot easier!

No Video PB on External Monitor/DV unit with FCP PlayBack

Hello.
I just bought this Sony DVCAM unit today and I am having no luck with view External video from FCP. I have it connected with FW and had no problem with capture in FCP. I tried all settings on FCP external control and checked the Sony variables also. The Deck is a DSR-1500 record/PB DVCam unit from Sony. I never had problems with my DV Camera. I would appreciate some insight on this. I have FCP 4.5 and I have a small Video monitor connected to the Sony Video Monitor. I would rather view NTSC than computer monitor visuals.Thanks

Does the deck have an input switch? If so, set it for DV. I have the DSR-11 and it has DV/S-Video/Composite.
Otherwise:

Apple TV 2 choppy video playback when mirroring from Macbook Pro (Yosemite) and Macbook Air (Yosemite) but not iOS devices

Video playback is choppy (cuts out every 30-45 seconds) when air playing from both my MacBook Air 1.3 GHz Intel Core i5 running Yosemite and my husbands new MacBook Pro, but runs perfectly when mirroring from any of our iOS devices (iPhone 6+, iPad mini 3, etc.) We have Apple TV 2. This problem just started a few weeks ago, was working fine around Christmas. The problem seems to have coincidentally started right after our son tried plugging in and setting up his Chromecast on our tv. I disconnected the Chromecast, but we still have the problem. All of our software if up to date and I've tried disconnecting blue tooth, we do not have a microwave and our wifi network has a very strong signal. We have an Airport Extreme base station. Is there a solution to our problem?

Hi leahmturner,
I see that you are experiencing an issue with choppiness while AirPlay Mirroring from your computers to your Apple TV. I have an article that contains some helpful troubleshooting steps for you regarding this issue:
About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201343
Optimizing image quality
Resolution matching modes
You can choose between two desktop resolution matching modes that let you select which display will have the best image. When AirPlay Mirroring is turned on, select an option under "Match Desktop Size To:" in the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra.
Match Desktop Size To: Apple TV
AirPlay Mirroring changes the desktop resolution to best match your Apple TV, resulting in a 16:9 image that fills the HDTV screen. This setting often produces the sharpest image on the HDTV. The aspect ratio and/or resolution of the built-in Mac display may change to accommodate the Apple TV.
Match Desktop Size To: This Mac
AirPlay Mirroring scales the contents of the desktop to fit on the Apple TV, leaving the resolution of your Mac's display unchanged. Use this setting for the sharpest image on your Mac's display. Depending on your Mac model, the resulting image may not fill the HDTV screen.
Troubleshooting AirPlay Mirroring
If you don't see mirroring options
If your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network, but no AirPlay Mirroring menu appears, your Apple TV may be asleep. Simply press a button on your Apple TV remote to wake it up. After a few seconds, the AirPlay Mirroring menu extra appears. If you still don't see the options you expect, make sure your Apple TV has the current software update installed. Also make sure that you have the "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available" option selected in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
If the menu bar or Dock is cropped
Some HDTVs have bezels that cover a small percentage of the screen. This can result in a slight cropping of a full-resolution HDTV image. Depending on the HDTV model, AirPlay Mirroring may automatically adjust the picture size to prevent cropping. If you are using OS X Mountain Lion or later, and you see cropping of the menu bar or Dock when using AirPlay Mirroring, toggle the Overscan correction option in Displays preferences.
Minimize video post-processing
HDTVs often apply picture quality enhancements intended to improve the look of film and video sources. In some cases, these enhancements can lead to over-sharpening artifacts when displaying your Mac desktop. Some HDTV models have built-in settings to change or disable the enhancements for use with a computer (computer, presentation, or game modes). Otherwise, the controls for sharpness, detail enhancement and noise reduction can be used to optimize the appearance of the Mac desktop. Consult your HDTV’s manual for guidance on the appropriate settings for use with a computer.
Firewall security settings
If you use a firewall, make sure the following firewall security options have been set to allow AirPlay Mirroring to work:
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu ().
Click Security & Privacy, then click Firewall.
Click the lock icon to unlock it if it's locked, then type an administrator name and password.
Click Firewall Options.
Deselect (uncheck) the “Block all incoming connections” checkbox.
Select (check) the “Automatically allow signed software to receive incoming connections” checkbox.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

Braden

Monitoring 2 External Midi devices at playback

Hi, I'm a "Newbie," I have a MAC G5, Logic Express 7.1, a MOTU 828
(first generation) and 2 external midi devices (Triton Extr, and a Roland JV 880) I
can only monitor one of the devices at a time at playback - wichever channel
I have chosen in the MOTU preferences.
I know it was a challenge to set up Cubase to monitor both at the same time.
Is it possible in Logic Express?
Thanks for any help that might be had out there!
Borgy

Couple of things I don't understand about your question.
Are you running Vienna Ensemble on a separate computer? If not, why not use it as an AU plugin? If you have it installed on the same computer as Logic there would be no need to treat it as an external instrument. If you are running it on a separate machine double check the audio and MIDI hardware connections, drivers for both interfaces, Apple Audio/Midi Utility settings, environment, and finally the settings on your ext instrument (in the track.)
You mention being unable to hear VE when bouncing, but then you also mention that there is no signal from those tracks showing on the master fader. Is this specifically a problem when bouncing, or are you basically unable to hear and see signal from your VE tracks while recording, playing, mixing?
If VE runs smoothly from another computer (presumably to ease the burden on your main cpu) and you are able to hear it and see it at the master outputs just as you expect, and you ONLY have a problem when bouncing, then your solution is simple. Make sure that you bounce in "realtime" mode when including external instruments or fx. "Offline" mode will not include them.
Sorry if I'm covering stuff you know and have already tried; hopefully some portion of this info will help you.

I need help in deciding whether i should get a new ipad3 or opt for ipad2. Seller is willing to replace it with ipad2 as well..
Have also heard that the ipad3 revamped version is around along with the mini pad rumor..too much information - lot's of confusion pls help

Lindsay,
Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

Play external av device (XBox) through "video in" port to monitor via G3

After a half a year with a MacBook, i've decided to come back to my PowerMac G3 for good and fun reasons. So i have a B&W G3 which has 6over 600megs of RAM, and currently an ATI Raedon 32mb video card, the thing is i have this ATI Rage 3D PRO card with a VIDEO IN port and S-video out and in ports. I want to hook up my xbox's av cord to the VIDEO IN and play my xbox through my computer to my monitor, is this possible? Also since im using my ATI Raedon 32mb can i use this other card as a secondary one? What kind of applications do i need to be able to run an external av device through my PowerMac G3. Im pretty sure its quite possible cause ive done with an old Quadra.

It sounds like you have one of the ATI Xclaim video cards. One has 4MB on-board and has a slot to add a VRAM chip but it won't be very good in OS X if it will work at all. The other is a Xclaim 16MB card with no add-on VRAM slot and works in OS X up to 10.4 (I think) and would be good to run a second monitor.
I think you can do what you want but you need the XClaim TV Tuner box (if you have the XClaim card) that can still be found on eBay. You will need the ATI proprietary "S-Video like" input cable that connects the tuner box to the card. A regular S-video cable will not work.
You can then use the RCA input jacks on the TV Tuner box to attach Xbox. I think you will also need the XClaim software from ATI to run the box but it may work with Apple Video Player you can download here in the old software section. You cannot use this with OS X and must use OS 9 or earlier with the box.
