Pink/green breakup, audio static: but I'm on Mac

Hi all,
I've exported some Quicktime files from FCP. They play fine on the G5 Quad, but when played on another Mac or imported into Keynote, I get the pink/green blocky video breakup, and loud audio static, during playback.
I found a number of posts, with the solution of setting QT to Safe Mode -- but this only applies to Windows apparently. I have all the same problems, but on Mac.
Variables: have exported using Compressor, and directly from FCP. Created on G5 Quad 10.4 Tiger, trying to play on Intel Macs 10.5 (Macbook Pro, Macbook).
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Brett

Every time I send them a high res .mov file, they say it won't play for them
You are sending them files with a CoDec that doesn't exist on PC. You need to read up on what Quicktime CoDecs actualyl are available on PC. Aside from that, it's rather pointless still. If those clients don't even know how to deal with this or cannot install additional software due to administrative restrictions, that won't do you any good and neither does their request for an "AVI" - AVIs are just as much containers as are MOV fiels and could still have an unsuitable CoDec inside. So the proiper thing to do is to send them native H.264 files exported from AE using Adobe's encoder or WMV files. For the latter you are going to need the Flip4Mac extension...

Audio works but video is solid green

The audio works but all videos are solid green

Green screens are nearly ALWAYS an indicator of outdated or corrupted video drivers. See: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

IMovie 11 green screen - audio of the video in foreground won't play

Elementary teacher. Groups of students are creating movies and adding green screen effects to videos. In more than one group, the audio begins fine, but as the group edits (over the course of a day or two), eventually the audio in the foreground video stops playing. I see the audio waves, but do not hear the audio. When skimming the clip in the event library, the audio is fine. When the clip is reinserted, the audio plays. Nothing is ducked, muted or turned down.
Why are we losing the audio?

Thanks for the suggestion Brad, that makes sense... However, I was hoping there was a "straight" iMovie solution.
I'd prefer to not have to 1) spend any money and 2) use a program to do something iMovie is already supposed to do.

Itunes still pink & green in 32bit colour

Hi,
I recently installed a new graphics card whch seems to work great but it has affected Itunes. I am getting the pink / green affect on videos, some album covers and the store screen. I have made sure I am running 32bit colour but it doesnt seem to work still.
The problem doesnt happen in anyhting else, even quicktime plays videos fine.
I have updated all drivers, tried a reinstall and everything else I can think of.
Any one out there with any ideas?
Thanks

well... it appears that it's not a monitor issue... these are the steps i've taken so far, and they all result in either the machine booting up with the colored lines, or a clean looking bootup, but as soon as i open a menu, or move a window, the artifacts appearl.
1 - performed a clean install of OSX on the machine with all of the new updates.
2 - reseated all of the paired RAM chips (both apple and non-apple) into the slots they originally occupied, and tried moving them around.
3 - booted the machine with the original 512MB that the G5 came with
4 - reseated the video card, as well as the monitor cord into the ADC port.
5 - reset the NVRAM and PMU
6 - plugged in a non-apple monitor into the DVI port on the ATI video card (still gives me pink lines).
I just checked my warranty status online, and my 3-year applecare just expired a month ago (6 January). Would it be worth it to haul the machine over to the nearest Apple store, or should I first try buying a replacement video card on my own for this machine? (My CinemaDisplay is one of the ADC models).
Grr.... 3 years without a problem, and now this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Quicktime Movies - The audio plays but the video is completely messed up

Hi.
I have QuickTime V7.2 and my OS is XP.
All of a sudden QuickTime started playing back QuickTime movies with no video - there is just a lot of flickering green and purple - however the audio is there. Oddly, the files used to play fine. They were made on my PC as QuickTime movie files. The sound is there. (Additionally the files play ok in Realplayer.)
I've searched techy support but can't find an answer. Any ideas what is wrong?
I made the files on movie editing software called ULead, and as I said, they used to play fine.
Thanks very much.
Gary

A very similar and, I suspect, related problem. I created .mov files on my Mac, they play fine on the Mac, the audio plays but flickering video on my PC. I suspect it has something to do with the codecs used. Anyone have an idea as to how to make them compatible?

Capture audio static with Leopard?

I just upgraded to Leopard and started capturing a new project with FCP. I now have static in the audio I didn't have before. Anyone else experiencing this. I've switch cables, drives, video playback decks and still get added static on all tapes. The audio on the tape when monitored with earphones is static free. Any ideas? Thanks.
Gary

Thanks for the reply. All cameras are set to 16 bit audio. Nothing has really changed except the Leopard OS upgrade. I am getting a warning box about the audio possibly not syncing, but there is no sync problem. I'm just curious if I'm the only one having this problem with audio static on capturing after the Leopard upgrade. Thanks for any help.

Why am I suddenly getting audio static with FaceTime connection?

I recently started getting audio statice when making a FaceTime connection. The other person can hear me, but I get only static. The image is clear. Is this a problem on their end or mine? Is it the iPad or a router issue? Regular connection to the net is fine and playing of music from I tunes is fine with no static.
I'm puzzled.

shambles,
You could try to reinstall using the full three step way (otherwise strange things may linger):
Uninstall (ticking the box to delete the preferences), run the Cleaner Tool, and reinstall.

My Quicktime movie has a pink, green

My Quicktime movie has a pink, green and grey looking wire mesh over the image when previewed in iDVD but the movie looks good in Quicktime Player so the problem is just reviewing in iDVD.

Hi
If You "Save as a DiskImage" and play this with Your Mac DVD-player tool.
• How will this look ?
• If You put in a commercial DVD (movie) - How does this play ? OK ?

Audio Static with DVD Studio Pro

I make pretty simple slide shows with music underneath of our travels. In the last couple of years, there has been static at various points in the audio on some of the slide shows and now on almost all of the slide shows. I have tried turning the slide shows into tracks with the audio there but I still get the problem. I read through the posts here (some of them) and I'm thinking that I need to convert all the audio to ac3? The formats of the audio are all over the place--aif, m4a, m4p, mp3. Should I be using only one file type? Can I convert all of these file types with Final Cut Pro or should I use iTunes?
Thanks for any help.

You should convert the audio to a standard type for DVD. If you give DVDSP anything non-standard then it will attempt to convert it to PCM (or .aiff) with mixed results.
If you use a decent audio editor (had a look at Bias Peak??) then you can standardise to PCM outside of DVDSP and make sure that there are no audio glitches in the final file. COnvert the output of that to AC3 using Compressor (making sure you use -31DNV and no compression) and your file should still sound the same as before. use that in DVDSP and all should be well.

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.

I have a mid 2009 Macbook Pro and i know the Mini-display port does not support audio out but does it support HDMI out? or do i have to buy a Mini-display to DVI and then a DVI to HDMI adapters?

Run MDP to HDMI for picture. Use a cable like this to run sound from your audio out on your Mac to your TV's audio in. That's about all you can do.
