Noise in video highlights when video effect added.

I am getting black noise in the highlight areas of my video whenever I add a video effect. Even before I make any changes to the settings of the effect, black spots appear in the white (highlight) areas of the video. Toggling the effect on/off from the effect control window makes the spots appear/disappear.
Any suggestions as to why this is happening and how to eliminate the problem?
I am using Premiere Pro in CS6 on an iMac computer.
Thanks!

Digital clik noise thru int-speakers when After Effects is open

Hey.
I've tried to keyword search results but run into alot of drive related probs and not what i'm looking for. If this has been talked about please point me int eh right direction.
I have a brand new MBP 17" with all the latest hardware upgrades. I've had some surprising undesirable results here and there but nothing crazy.
When i open after effects noticed that there is a notable (yet quiet) digital clicking noise that comes form the internal speakers.
Symptoms/Observations:
-Im confident its not from the hdrive (can listen to that part and hear drive fine)
-*When HP's are plugged in clicking goes away & PERFORMANCE INCREASES
-VERY sluggish performance from the program (even accessing menus is crazy slow)
thanks!
/josh

upd: changing audio hardware settings in AE FROM 'sys default' TO 'builtin output' seems to remedy things!
not entirely sure if this is solved, any insight still welcome.

New Layer Being Created When Timeline Effect Added

I am working on a Flash file in which I am adding a Timeline
Effect (5 frame fade out). Recently, instead of the transition
being applied to the layer, in the frame length specified, Flash
adds another layer with the standard 30 frames and it deletes the
content from the 5 frames where I'm trying to add the fade out. It
doesn't always do this. I had already successfully created a couple
of fade-ins at the beginning of the timeline, but once it starts
adding and deleting this stuff, it never goes back to normal. On
the layer in question, I have a keyframe with a graphic, the
graphic is stationary for 20 frames, then I inserted another
keyframe and tried to apply the Timeline Effect beginning there.
Help!!

I added background music to the video clip, but I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the background music audio

I added background music to the video clip in iMovie, the playback runs ok on the right corner preview screen, if I share it to movie clip or itunes or theather, I only hear noise, no video clip audio or the music audio
If I don't put additional audio to the clip. audio effect or music background, the video plays normally
I detached the audio from the video clip and deleted it, that way it was possible to listen to the music background and see the actual video clip, but no audio from the video clip.
How can I have both?

Hi
My first thought is -
Where are the original Audio file ?
If it was on an Audio-CD then the CD is Ejected and one tries to play the movie - it can not find it = Silence.
You are using an Non-Destructive Video editor - meaning that You have raw material - Video, Audio and photos but no Movie in Project - only a text document directing How You want it to be played. So if Audio is not where it was when this document were created - iMovie can not find it and e.g. audio goes silent.

Crashing when I go to drop video effects

Strangely when I go to drop transitions or video effects, sometimes my project crashes in a way that only happens when I use these. It says something like "serious error", then the file won't let me close(where every other crash, I can make it close eventually) And when I have the cursor to the left anywhere on the file screen, the whole project scans to the left, and to the right it all scans to the right.Last problem, thought I'd post them seperately, much appreciated!

Help with adding video effects.

Okay, so I am very new with Adobe Premiere Pro CS3, and decided to start working with video effects.
So far I can add an effect onto a video clip that I dragged down from the source monitor, but that applies the effect to the whole video track. I want it to start and end at a certain point.
I have read the Adobe Help Viewer on effects many times over and over, but still, I cannot get it to work.
I have set in and out put points in my Timeline, and went into the effects controls and peaked around, but have had no success at all with getting my effect to start and end at a certain point.
Can anyone help me out a little bit? I'm sure you are all Pro's at this, haha.

Adding more than one video effect

I have a short clip that I want to give both the "aged film" look to as well as make it black and white.
Both these effects are available under Window > Clip Adjustments, but I can't figure out if it's possible to use both at the same time. Anyone know? Thanks.

In general, no, you cannot do two video effects at the same time.
However, black and white is a special case, because you can achieve this using Video Adjustments.
You can select Aged Film and then adjust to Black and White in Video Adjustments.
Try setting the Saturation slider all the way to the left (0%)
Then, move the Contrast slider to the right until it is around 50%.

Cannot drop pictures into video effects window (not the usual problem)

Hi there,
I cannot drop jpgs into the video effects window. I checked http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5700460&#5700460 and http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7384222&#7384222 and they got me going, but my issue is slightly different.
The plus sign appears when I click and drag the picture out of finder and into one of the open windows in video effects user backdrop window. When I release the mouse button, nothing is dragged to the location. I have tried different picture locations, moved them to the desktop first, and different picture locations, but no luck.
Any ideas? I’ll run disk perms in the meantime in case it is something goofy, but if anyone has any ideas I’d be grateful. Just got my first Mac two days ago and love it so far

Applying video effects in Premiere at the track or media level?

Hello,
I am trying to adjust to the Premiere workflow, coming from Vegas, and have a question regarding the application of video effects. Premiere seems to apply effects at the clip level - for example, if there is a cut in the clip, the effect is only applied to a portion of the clip. Vegas allows for the application of effects at the media level - no matter how many cuts have been made - or at the track level. Is there something comparable in Premiere? I have been trying to apply the Neat Video effect, and the only thing I can think of is to select multiple clips when applying it, but it seems to crash Premiere when I do that. Any advice on making this work would be much appreciated.
On a related topic, does Premiere apply effects in a chain, as they are added, or does it automatically perform an reffect first if it should be applied first? In other words, does it matter in what order the effects are applied, and if so, is there a rough order of how they should be applied?

I'm running Premiere Pro 5.5 and have been able to lasso and apply my effects to several of my clips all at once.
Once you apply the effect and fine-tune (if need be), you can right-click and create a User Preset to help save time (say if all of your clips needed to be color corrected). The User Presets are the first folder listed in the Effects bin.
As far as the effects order are concerned, you pretty much have to play around with those yourself. I use a Video Limiter effect with a ProcAmp and have noticed that if they aren't in a certain order (the first listed effect is the first applied...) it changes how it looks and not always for the best. Best bet is to play around and see what order of video effects works best for you.
Good Luck!

Using video effects in quicktime pro

how can i access the video effects in quicktime pro every time i try and use the filters i cant apply them to the movie can any one help ie fade dissolve etc any threaaaaaaad would help can not find anything in the manuals have been looking for hours ??????????????

Only looking for hours?
http://homepage.mac.com/kkirkster/RedneckTexasXmas/index.html
A "movie" made from still images and some sound tracks. All made using QuickTime Pro.
The "transitions" were made by taking the still images and adding them "scaled" to a ten second audio track. The audio was deleted so then I had about 50 little ten second videos. Two of these videos were merged into one file using:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/samplemakeeffectmovie/index.html
Thousands of combinations can be created.
They were all added over another QT track (map of Texas) and their position and transparency levels and layers were adjusted. Last I copied all of this file and added it "scaled" to my two sound tracks.
The "filters" can be accessed via the Export "Movie to QuickTIme Movie" but they are applied to the entire file at export. If you wish to use more than one filter you should first create separate files from your source project.
The end result (a 4 MB file) would require over 300 MB's if done in an application like iMovie. The transitions add nearly nothing to the total file size when you do them using QuickTIme Pro.

Video Effects Problems

When I go through my video effects and preview them I get white lines, white fragments (blocky), and or the whole screen turns white. When I click on the first effect it works fine and I can adjust the settings but when I go to the next one, thats when video turns bad. I have to click out of video effects to reset the image. This problem just started for me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem.
Also, I recently installed FCE 4. Would this have anything to do with it. Since installing FCE 4 my rendering time has slowed way down in iMovie 06.
Thanks.

T -
I get a similar problem when I preview effects. I just assumed this was some kind of result of max-ing out on processing the preview, so I usually just click onto some other effect outside of the Quartz composer and then click back in and it's fine. I wouldn't worry about it, unless what I suggest won't work. I found this when I was looking to find out why adding video effects takes so long to process. It looks like video is just processor-intensive, any way you look at it.
good luck.....

Video effects cause flickering in rendered output video

I'm working on a few videos for my company right now and I'm having problems with my final exports. After editing the video to my liking I apply a few video effects like the shadow/highlight tool and some color correction. The only problem is, when I export the video I see a lot of flickering. Its like the effect is changing settings during play back. Ive tried changing the "temporal smoothing" settings, but aside from increased render times It seems to have little effect.
The video was originally shot in HDV at 1080i. The output settings I've been using are Quicktime>mpeg-4>progressive scan.
Please help me figure out this problem.

Stefan,
I hardly ever disagree with Dan, but find Shadow & Highlight a useful tool, depending on the footage. However, if one leaves it in Auto mode, you WILL get flickering at every lighting change. I have never found a reason to use Auto, and will use the Razor Tool to separate my "Clips," then apply S&H but with manual settings, for each.
It's like S&H in PS. I always just dupe a Layer, apply, and then adjust the Opacity of these two Layers, since H&S cannot be applied as an Adjustment Layer, because of the way it works.
It is a great Effect, but one must be very careful with it and be ready to make manual adjustments on a scene-by-scene basis.
Matter of fact, unless one has an entire Clip of a talking head, in the same exact lighting conditions (and I mean 100% same), no "Auto" function works well. Maybe one day I'll find one and eat a few words, but I don't think so.
Study your footage, use the Razor and apply H&S with only manual settings - judge them critically.
@ Craig,
I agree that Levels (non-Auto) is very useful. It would be better, if Premiere had Curves, like PS, but it doesn't. H&S is rather like Levels, but with A-B masks applied, based on the image's H&S levels. On footage that I have not created, Levels is my first stop, and I set these manually. Often, PP's H&S is my #2, also on manual. If all is not "right," I'll move on to the two main color correctors and adjust the fine points. Levels will do a lot, but falls short of Curves, which PP doesn't have. H&S, used wisely, can get one close.
Now, all that said, lighting the scene is the best "cure," but some of us do not have that leisure - we have to work with client's footage and some of it is bleak indeed.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why am I getting a delay on one of my tracks when I have added no effects?

Why am I getting a delay on one of my tracks when I have added no effects? It sounds like a latency problem.

AVI should never be used for iDVD. Even Microsoft abandoned AVI and moved to WMV. The reason for this is that AVI is limited to 2 GB is file size and has limited video codec support. If you have problems with AVI in iDVD, convert it to Quicktime right away.

All of a sudden (video) files added to my iTunes library after a certain date aren't playable on other devices.

hello!
All of a sudden I have a weird issue with playing video-files added to my iTunes library after a specific date.
This is the situation so far:
I encode the video for iTunes with the same settings for the last 3 years. I know these vids play on all my devices. AppleTV & iPad. All of a sudden videos added to my library after the 8th of september aren't playable on my AppleTV and iPad. I can play them directly in iTunes and by accessing them directly via the finder and quicktime.
The following errors occur:
When I pull the video from iTunes on my AppleTV.. the video simply doesn't play.
When I pull the video from iTunes on my iPad I get a message that the file can't be found.
When I push the video from iTunes to the AppleTV using airplay I get a message that there has occured an error while connecting to the AirPlay-device "Apple TV". The necesary file could not be found. In addition when the AppleTV is switched off it doesn't turn on doing this, suggesting that there is something missing on my mac itself.
All the above errors aren't popping up when I choose a video that has been put in my library before the 9th of september. Then everything works as expected.
This is what I tried:
Turning off and on home sharing on all devices including the mac.
Logging in wiht a different apple ID though using the same ID as before.
I created a new iTunes library and populated with a video that was added after the 8th of september and one that was added before the 9th of september. Surprisingly the older one played and not the newer one.. while they both used the same encoding settings. The new library was locally on my mac as my original library is on a NAS.
I encode my videos with Quicktime 7 Pro using the following settings:
H.264 (current frame rate, key-frames:automatic, re-order frames, automatic bitsize)
Medium Quality
Multi-pass
current resolution (which is always 1280 X 720)
AAC sound
44.100 kHz
128kbps
I'm using the Mountain lion 10.8.2 and iTunes 10.7 Mountain lion got updated a few days after 19th of september and iTunes i think as well. Both versions were released after this issue seemed to pop up.
I also have two video-files encoded on the same day with the same settings that dragged into the iTunes library on the 9th of september. One works.. the other doesn't.
So I wonder if there is somebody out there that can tell me what might have happened here and how I could fix this issue.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Seraphiel07.
I have a very similar issue. Hardware involved:
Apple MacMini (Mid 2011) - OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple TV (3rd Generation). Home Sharing (access) enabled.
Apple MacBook Pro (15" Mid-2009). OSX 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7. Home Sharing enabled.
Apple iPad 2 (Wifi only). iOS 6
Apple iPhone 4S. iOS 6
All connected through:
Apple Time Capsule 8.0211n (4th Gen)
I have an iTunes library on the MacBook Pro, shared over "Home Sharing" and another (duplicate content, different library name) iTunes library on my MacMini, which is also accessed through the Apple TV.
All software is current (as of Sep 26th).
All movies are iTunes purchases. 80 in total.
All files are purchased (and home shared) under one account.
My last two iTunes purchases both HD movies on 09/17/2012 and 09/05/2012 refuse to appear on any device accessing either of the two Libraries over Home Sharing. It should be noted that every other movie (the other 78) all show up and play correctly. I therefore know it is not an issue with connectivity, otherwise I would see zero movies available.
I have:
1. Removed all content from each Library and re-added
2. Upgraded the OS on the MacMini 10.8.2
3. Tested viewing the two missing movies on other Apple devices and no luck.
4. Turn home sharing on and off within iTunes and also on each device.
It would appear to me that the issue is with the files themselves, rather than the devices as different devices and different versions have been tested.
All comments welcome.

Video effects (none button) does not exist in inspector window

New to iMovie 09. Only issue I am having so far is finding the video effects. I select a clip and then open the inspector window. But when I click on "Clip", there is no "None" button to open the effects window. It only shows some info on "Stabilizatoin". Nothing else. Under the "Video" button are the exposure and color adjustments, etc.
I am sure I am overlooking something simple, but I have read through all documentation and this forum and nothing seems to be working. I have set "Show Advanced Options" from preferences.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated !

If you select the clip then hit Letter "i" for Inspector, you'll get a window that roughly looks like this (bottom half is missing because clipped it off). What you are most interested in clicking on is the Video Effect: pulldown menu. When you click on it, the Inspector flips around and gives you thumbnail images of all the video fx you can apply. I have iMovie '11, not '09 so your version might look slightly different.
