Ntsc preview on external monitor

hey guys,
I have an ntsc job to edit and am doing a test so i am ready for when i sit down with the client. I cannot get a preview on my external monitor. Normally I pipe it to a dsr 11 deck when using pal no prob. Tried that with all settings to ntsc land ( flicked the ntsc switch on back of deck ) no love. I get an image but it wont play motion, when i hit the space bar it updates the image from where i was to where i stop but no motion, it gives me a display as if it is set on current from not all frames. I connected the firewire to my Z1 and get the same thing. Using FCP 5.1.4
I used an easy set up in ntsc dv anamorphic.
Any suggestions ??

my TV and camera will display both ntsc and pal. Just went back to my powerbook and it did what i wanted no prob. Must be an imac thing, will try trashing prefs and see what happens, but will do job on weekend on PB. Getting late here in Sydney, will sort it out later... Thanks anyways...

Macbook pro does not support Final Cut Pro preview on external monitor?

I have been editing on Final Cut Pro from my imac for approx 1 year with an external monitor attached with no problems. I recently bought a macbook pro, for Final Cut Pro editing, and discovered that the monitor does not work. The Final Cut Pro preview on the external monitor freezes and in the preview pane of FCP it flick between two images.
I have been reading around some forums, and have seen a couple of people with the same problem.
Anyone have a suggestion on how to run the external monitor with FCP?
Thanks!

You have probably already done it but ensure you have updated the OS and Quicktime prior to attempting to instal Final Cut Studio.
I recently had a hard drive crash and after installing the new hard drive it would not read the OS installation disc. I ended up using an external drive case and installed the OS on the drive from a different Mac Book, then reinstalled the hard drive in the other Mac Book. Then it booted right up. I updated all the original software before attempting to install any additional software.
Everyone kept saying it wouldn't install due a possibly defective optical drive and I can't say why but it wasn't the drive. As soon as I had the system up and running again the optical drive functioned flawlessly.
I hope this helps you.

No preview on external monitor and histograms black?

Hi, im having a problem with previewing. In the upper left room i see the footage (also changing when grading) but the rest of the rooms and my preview monitor are black. Histograms are not working.
Rendering and sending it to final cut works.
Im using a blackmagic decklink card for the output of the external monitor. Footage comes from the RED, 2K.
A colleague has the same mac pro but is using the older cinema screens. He has no problems. I use the new 24". Could that be the problem?
Does anyone has a idea what is going wrong?
Thanks.

Ummmm.....
mismatched display settings between COLOR and the BM card?

Preview and External Monitor acting bizarre

I am posting a question about a computer at work, I'm at home right now, so I don't know all the specs.
The "Preview" window in FC Studio is disabled, and when I try to run out to firewire deck (which is connected to an NTSC monitor) it only shows still images. I've tried playing with all the settings (view All Frames, Still Frames, Off; Refresh Firewire; setting external deck to different settings) Nothing is working. Not to mention that the "Preview" window shows nothing when I do this. Also, when I select "Print to Tape" it shows up on the External, but no the screen. I'm thinking there may be something wrong with the video card, but it shouldn't effect the external firewire, should it?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Have you tried a different converter, like a camera or other box? To me, it doesn't sound like a video card problem, rather a converter box issue. Most consumer cameras over the past couple year can act as digital to analogue converters, so if you can' I'd try one of those. Besides that, it sounds like you've checked all the settings I can think of with the exception trashing the prefs.
Good luck,

External monitor preview

I have heard that you need firewire to preview on a another monitor (after effects). where do i plug the wires? usb part in the computer and the firewire part in the monitor?
<moved by mod from downloading,installing,setting up - kglad>

Firewire preview is for Standard Definition through a firewire video device like a firewire DV tape deck. It's old school and does not work with HD video.
You can use a bunch of 3rd party capture solutions to preview through external monitors, or if your graphics card supports multiple displays just go that route.

External Monitoring - HD Footage, NTSC Monitor

My husband and I are having a issue and have pulled out our hair trying to figure it out.
Using voltaicHD we got the AVCHD footage into Final Cut Express 4 (on G5)...
We've got it in the appropriate timeline for editing.
However, we aren't getting a signal out to our external monitors...
Setup is this... We go via FireWire to a JVC miniDV/DVD deck (sr-dvm700), which is then connected to a samsung LCD tv via component cables (hdd/DVD) and s-video (miniDV)... BNC cable goes from deck to broadcast safe monitor (JVC tm-h150). This all works fine with sequence set for DV-NTSC (720x480).
however, with sequence set for HD... If we go through Easy Setup on Final Cut Express and select DV-NTSC we are not getting any signal... This is with the sequence set to Apple Intermediate Codec 720/30.
In the Easy Setup drop down, if we select HDV-Apple Intermediate Codec 720/30 we still get no output. When we select it, it tells us to set device control to HDV-NTSC but we cannot figure out where to change that.
What are we missing? How do we get this to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well after researching and researching, I set up the computer with the HDTV as a 2nd monitor. Using the Cinema Preview (Fullscreen) function, I can see the video we're editing on the fullscreen Samsung HDTV.
DVI-to-HDMI adaptor was the solution.
I realize this may not be the best solution for color correction, but it IS a solution for now... and one that is affordable. Where I finally got the tip that got me off in the right direction was from a guy on YouTube...
Frank's Tech Help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMNLOVn8hes
It wasn't the exact solution for me - but got me started in the right direction.
The G5 I have has the GEForce 5200 Ultra card, which has a DVI and ADC connector.
I used a DVI-to-HDMI adaptor to go to the HDTV.
I used and ADC-to-DVI adaptor to connect to my LCD monitor (what was originally hooked up to the computer).
Then in the settings for Displays, I set the resolution and arrangement of the monitors. By dragging the menu bar from the TV Display to the Monitor (in the arrangement dialog) it set the LCD Display as monitor #1.
Now, in Final Cut Express, all I need to do is go to View... Video Out... Cinema Preview (Fullscreen) and in addition to my timeline playing on the canvas, it plays in full screen HD on the Samsung HDTV.
While no one here gave me the answer, maybe my reply will give the answer to someone else who isn't ready to spend the money on Final Cut Pro (since this isn't the FCP Forum) and an expensive IO Card.

Audio is Out of Sync on NTSC Preview Monitor

Hello FCP Gurus,
I recently was hired by a local Broadcast TV Affiliate and I am looking at their FCP systems. I noticed that one of the suites has a big problem with the NTSC Preview Monitoring, the audio is way out of sync.
Here's the set up:
G5 Dual 2GHZ
3GB RAM
1 Internal Western Digital SATA 160GB (System Drive)
1 Internal Maxtor SATA 300GB (Media Drive and back up system drive)
2 Monitors
MAC OSX 10.4.3
FINAL CUT PRO 4.5
AJA IO LA
So when I play back anything in the timeline the audio on the external NTSC monitor is way off, not just a little bit but a ton. I am not sure why. I know that usually there is some delay but not this much. Is there a way to configure it without any delay? The computer monitor with the FCP canvas and viewer are dead on but the NTSC is way off, it is ahead of the video.
Also, when I am editing in the timeline I have to switch the AV setting from ProIO to Built In and then I can here it. When I insert back to BetacamSP through the AJA box I have to switch it back to ProIO to lay it to tape. While it is laying to tape I cannot hear the audio or even see the FCP meters. But when I play back what I just put down on the Beta deck, the aduio is fine. The decks are in the operations rooms almost on the other side of the building.
This maybe OK for 30 sec promos but for 30 minute shows this will drive me crazy. I am responsible for all elements, including audio.
Thanks in advance.
Alex

make sure the audio is following the video.
if you are viewing video on an external monitor, make sure the audio is routed [i[the exact same path to the audio monitors. If you have the video going out through the AJA and the audio out directly from the computer, there will be a processing differential that you will hear as lag.
Also, make sure you have the most recent AJA drivers.
good luck.

How do I get Preview Slideshow to appear in external monitor/projector

In Preview in Snow Leopard, I could set up a slideshow and use it for presentations through an external monitor or on a screen using a projector. I did this by dragging the Preview window onto the external monitor and then clicking on View/Slideshow. A kind of poor man's PowerPoint presentation, but very quick to set up. Now, unless the displays are mirrored, as soon as I click on View/Slideshow, the slideshow is "sucked" back onto the screen on my MacBook, leaving the external screen blank.
I have found that there are alternatives to Preview available, like Xee, but with the Preview slideshow feature, only the pictures appear on the screen, with all the background being black, which looks more "professional".
Does anyone know if there's anything I can do to stop the Preview slideshow ending up back on the MacBook?
David

There is something terribly wrong with Lion's support for two monitors, compared to previous Mac OSes, and it looks like you have found another instance of that fact. Oddly enough it seems like QuickLook may work where Preview doesn't. Anyway, I have two monitors and if I move a folder full of images to the secondary monitor, then select the images and right click and then click QuickLook in the Contextual Menu, then click the full screen arrows and the play button, the slideshow will play on the second monitor. If I open the pix in Preview, move the Preview window to the second monitor, and select "Play Slideshow" it promptly moves everything to the main screen, ditto for clicking the full screen arrows within Preview--moves to main monitor and in effect turns off secondary monitor. So give QuickLook a try and see if that will work for your purposes.

Used to, but now can't detect a NTSC/PAL external monitor.

This has come up in this forum as well as others in the past. Here is the syndrome:
1. iBook (or other) is hooked up to an external NTSC/PAL monitor (in my case a Sumsung LCD TV) via the mini-VGA/S-Video out.
2. Works perfectly for some period of time, days to years, as far as I've seen people post.
3. Suddenly, iBook does not recognize the external NTSC monitor, and outputs crap onto the monitor.
4. Detect display in the preferences only gives the native LCD (ibook) and a VGA external monitor.
5. This doesn't go away, and no one has found a way to make it go away.
Anyone figure out what the crap is going on with this? ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION???

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.

Preview on external PAL TV monitor

I have a PAL TV monitor connected to the 'video out' connector on a Matrox BOB.
With 1.5 Encore release it was possible to simultaneously preview Menus, time line and monitors windows on the TV monitor.
With 2.0 release the Menu windows is splashed on the TV monitor but no video is displayed on the TV when we launch the preview comand.
So it's difficult to appreciate colors, hidden borders, ....
Do I miss something ? Excuse my poor english ! hope you'll understand.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
This is what Matrox told
For the new Encore, the WYSIWYG still works for the menu's when your creating and editing them, but that is it. You no longer get the timeline preview and playback of the project.
As far as Matrox dropping it, it was not by their choice. It was Adobe's doing. They changed the preview engine in Encore and that is what doesn't allow the WYSIWYG to work. So it wasn't a choice by the "M".
I will say that if you want to complain, please do complain to Adobe and request for them to make the engine directshow so the WYSIWYG will still be supported in a round about way in possible future versions of Encore. I find for self the Wysiwyg one of the most valuable tools for the X card, and me personally I was very, very dissapointed that this was no longer functional as even though in 1.5.1 of Encore, the controls and crispness weren't there so to speak as in 2.0, the output was a definite "tide-over".
So Adobe, when will you fix this problem? At the start of Matrox 100 there was a close togetherness between Matrox and Adobe, selling their products. I liked the possibility to look at the endproduct on a external monitor in stead of a small and not so good monitor on the PC.

External monitor preview not working in CS5

Well its taken almost a month to get my Production premium suite CS5 working (exit code 7 install error) I finally reinstalled win7 pro after dicking with adobe tech support for weeks (they did try to be helpful and polite) and that "cured" the install problem so now I see that the external monitor preview still dosent work as in CS4....anyone know what gives? mine dosent work even if I set to external audio either. After effects-encore and Photoshop external firewire previews all work fine so I know its a bug in Premiere...anyone logged this yet?.On a VERY positive note I absolutely love the "solidity" of Premiere ....I invested in a Quadro fx3800 and well its a beautiful thing really.....is it odd to be in love with hardware and software
cheers y'all
steve

this is a well known limitation of the current CUDA drivers. Adobe is hard at work with Nvidia to solve this, but the work around is to set MPE to software in your project settings. It has high priority AFAIK.
Wow thanks Harm that was the workaround for now ....brilliant
cheers

Can anybody help me ? preview (external monitor)

Hey Guys:
I need to preview in real time my HD 1080i work in an external monitor I am not sure with card should I purchase. I have a Viewsonic 1920x1080.
I know that the most used card are balckmagic and AJA Kona models but I have read some complaints about both.
Firstly I was after Intensity Pro (blackmagic) but it seems that it does not work well with HD output.
Then I searched info about DeckLink (Blackmagic). It seems it works ok but not more reference than oficial web.
Finally somebody told me that AJA Kona cards work really well but I don't know which model will be the proper for monitoring my work in realtime.
Can anybody help me with this ?
Thanks
Andres

Hi Andrew07,
With my Mac Pro 8 core, AJA KONA LHe SDI card using Final Cut and a fibre channel disk array I can capture and play back 1080 HD footage, no problem. (I have also used Blackmagic cards as well)
With After Effects if I have my External Monitor set to 1080 and I try and RAM preview a 1080 composition I can only achieve a frame rate of about 15 fps. If my external monitor is set to normal SD and the composition at half res I can then preview in real time. But that is not Full res HD.
If I render the RAM preview to disk I can then play that in Final cut in realtime at full res
So you have to work around AE as it just can't pump out that much data quickly enough, but I do HD graphics everyday using AE and it does work just not quite as well as I would like ...
Hope this helps

Just upgraded to 5.1 from 4.5 and no external monitor preview!!!

I just called apple and they said this issue is not covered in their 60 days tek support! Thanks Apple!
Anyway... I have been using FCP 4.5 for a year or so with no issues, I just upgraded and now for the life of me I cannot see my external monitor preview. I have tried refreshing the AV devices, restarting and messing with all the settings that used to fix this issue, but nothing. Nothing else has changed. Just 5.1 upgrade. I use the DVX 100 a video camera to go out to my monitor. Help?
Thanks

For some reason, upgrades have a habit of kicking QT off center and it needs a reinstallation to work properly.
Try this to do a full quicktime reinstall.
Go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say Quicktime followed by a number e.g. Quicktime703.pkg
Go to the Apple quicktime site and download the appropriate version of Quicktime to your hard drive.
Run the Quicktime installer.
Repair Disk Permissions for your System Disk (Disk Utility > Select the system disk > Repair Disk Permissions)
Reboot
Good luck.
