Playback Screen turns Green. Audio is fine but no Video

I have been trying to find a solution on the web but can't seem to find the answer that will help my case of the FCP playback screen turns green with no video. Audio plays back fine. Everything was working fine until today. Something changed - what did changed. The recent video files I uploaded with my Sony Video Camera worked fine, played back fine, uploaded fine, and that played back normally - until today. Why did this happen? Any one found the culprit and a fix?

Thank you Studio X and David for responding. Yes, I will stay away from m4v formats.
Do you have a fix on how to solve the "Codec could not be opened"?
I am scheduling an appointment with the Apple Store but I am not sure if the Genius Bar guys are up on FCP and knowledgable to figure out what changed and how to change it back to be able to playback my capture scratch files. I noticed some of the past capture scratch files no longer work and get the flashing dark green screen but some do work. It's a software issue but what is it? Any ideas?

HT204291 I cannot get video to play from my iPad. I don't use this function often but it do work several upgrades ago. The audio plays fine but no video....... Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

I do not use the function very often but AirPlay has worked fine in the past (several OS updates ago on both iPad and apple tv). The audio plays fine but no video???? Any suggestions.

interesting...... you know i tried other media and it worked fine. i was trying to play 'amazon instant video'. when you say 'blocked ... by the providor' it seems to me that Amazon would have no interest in restricting the play. is it the producer of the content that resticts the play through some form of licensing or is it apple that restricts amazon play by limiting access to technology? either way its anti-competitive.

CS4 rendering and the audio is fine but the video freeze half way through

Hi I need your help
I am using Premiere Pro CS4 on a MAC,
We have a project that is using multicam editing of footage from 2 cameras. the footage is fine in the timeline when you move through the time line the footage is 2hours 20 min when edited.
When rendering this out it takes about 9 hours when you play footage back it stops at the 43 min mark the audio continues but the video freezes on the frame for the rest of the footage.
We have rendered a small clip 5 mins ether side of the footage where this happens and the footage is fine when played back.
Do you have any ideas as to what I can do
Rodney

Rodney,
The first thing that I would look for would be a gap in the Video, and especially in that 43 min. range. Even a 1 Frame gap can cause issues. I find that gaps can be tough to spot, even when the Timeline is zoomed into the frame-level. I use the keyboard shortcuts, PageUp & PageDn, to step through the Clips. The CTI (Current Time Indicator) should jump smoothly from Clip to Clip. If you encounter a little hiccup, or pause, you have likely found a gap. This is the first thing that I would rule out. If there are no gaps, then something else seems to be happening at that 43 min. mark.
To rule out another possibility, though a remote one, are you Exporting to an external HDD, that is perhaps formatted to FAT-32 (max file size ~ 4GB), which is the normal format for an external to go between a Mac and PC, as the Mac cannot yet use the NTSF format. Like I said, this is not very likely, especially as your Audio keep playing.
Good luck,
Hunt

Imovie mp4 imports - audio imports fine but not video

I have attempted to import several mp4 files some import fine while the majority import only the audio without the video.

That's could be caused by the incompatible codec of your mp4 files. iMovie can support mp4 files encoding with H.264 and MPEG-4. I'm not sure whether your files are in such codec. Maybe you can try a video converter to help you convert your mp4 files to iMovie first. it's simple and you just need to "Add File"-> "Convert to"-> "iMovie"-> "iMovie H.264(*.mp4)"/"iMovie ProRes(*.mov)".

Audio on video files sounds fine but actual video won't play

Just bought a new laptop last week w/ windows vista on it, downloaded itunes and purchased a legitimate (i.e. direct from NBC) tv show - the audio sounds fine, but the video locks up on the first frame when I go to play it. I can fast forward to any spot in the show, but the video keeps freezing wherever I choose to play it. have tried numerous solutions found on the website, gone to my local apple store and emailed apple support and nothing has solved the problem yet....I even upgraded the computer's memory a few days ago thinking that might be the issue and it wasn't. anybody have any advice?
thank you!!!

The movie is from iTunes. You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case.

My player screen turns green

When I play a video on my Flash Player the player screen turns green. The audio still plays and if I put the cursor on the status play bar, then a small icon will appear to show the screen at that position. However, the screen remains green. I have updated the Flash Player with the latest version. I am running this in Internet Explorer and have also tried it in Chrome with the same results. I am running this On Windows 8 HP touch screen.

External screen turns green?

I've had this setup for a while now.. A 12 inch PB with a CRT 17 inch monitor connected to the PB through the "mini dvi to vga" adapter..
Now this is the problem: since a few days the image on my external screen is green.. It's not totally green, i can see pictures and programs but it's like the color balance isn't right.
First I tried to change this through display calibration -> didnt help
Then i tried to manually adjust the color balance through the screen display settings -> didn't help..
So I thought my crt monitor was broken. But then I connected my PB to another external screen trough my "mini dvi to vga" adapter. And I had the same green screen. Then I knew it wasn't my crt monitor that was broken but it had something to do with my output signal..
Fortunately a friend of mine has a nice 20 inch tft display. I tested the connection again with the "mini dvi to vga" adapter and got the same green screen. But then I connected my PB to his 20 inch screen through a "mini dvi to dvi" adapter and the green was gone! So it couldn't be the output singal of my PB..
So i figured my "mini dvi to vga" adapter must not work properly somehow. I don't know how it could have broken. It happened just like that. I turned off my PB, and when I turned it back on the external screen turned green. I didn't do anything weird with it..
Could this be? That the adapter is broken? Or do you guys think there might be something wrong with the output signal after all?
Anyone encountered something similar?

So I went to an apple store today, and explained them my problem. We tried a new "mini-dvi to vga" adapter but still the external screen was green!! Also, when using my adapter that I supposed was broken on another PB the output singal was perfect! So as it turns out, it's my PB thats not working properly..
The guys at the store said it must be somthing with the motherboard.. I just don't think I can miss my PB for more than a few days!! :P

I started making a movie and all was well. I added a few more pictures and some sound and played it back. It plays so far and then the pictures break up into colors and then the screen turns green. The sound continues.

I am making a movie from still pictures. I used no theme and then started adding pictues. When I played it back, all was well. Then I added a few more pictures and some sound. When I play iot back it plays just so far and then the sound continues, but the screen turns green or the pictures break up into colors.

Sorry, everyone. I think I may have figured out what it was all down to...........
I had left the IDE ribbon cable plugged into my third HDD, with the power cable unplugged. I did this so as not to endanger my years of work on the third drive, until Windows had setup. I have in the past, accidentally chosen the wrong partiton to format, so this seemed a good way to avoid it from then on.
This was not a problem on my old system, but it seems this system doesn't like it.
I must have left the drive completely unplugged, the times Windows did setup. Amazing really. I couldn't see the woods for the trees.
Anyway, I'm sorry to have bothered everyone with my problem.
Cheers
Marcus
edit : Sorry Syar2003, I didn't see your reply until I had posted mine. Many thanks for taking the time to try and help me, it seems as though I may have sorted it now. I am using IDE drives until I can afford SATA. But many thanks for the heads-up on the NF4-SATA compliance, I'll be sure to bare that in mind.
I didn't actually check the NVRAID/IDE ROM version before updating the bios, so I have no idea if the revision was changed when Liveupdate flashed the Bios, I'm afraid. I didn't know they would be updated at the same time.
Again, cheers
Marcus

What does it mean when your whole i phone screen turns green

What does it mean when your whole iphone 5 screen turns green

It means that you jailbroke your iPhone with redsn0w. There are several known methods to fixing this issue:
1. Plug it into your computer and restore
2. Plug it into your computer, then hold the power button for about 6 seconds
3. Hold the power button and the home button to restart it. As soon as it turns on, plug it into your computer and wait
4. Time. Sometimes it fixes itself over time.
I would suggest refraining from jailbreaking your device next time. I know it tempting to do so, but if you want to root your phone or play with emulators, I would suggest an android device. Btw, iOS 7 looks promising for the Apple community. Keep your ears peeled this week during WWDC.

My iPhone 5 screen turns green when watching videos or using FaceTime

When I watch videos or use FaceTime on my iPhone the screen turns green and I can only hear the sound. I have reset and turned off as suggested but still no joy.
Any other suggestions? This just randomly started happening one day.
thank you

Iphone screen turns green in sunlight

my iphone4 screen turns green in the sunlight. how do i change it back to gray? other family member's phones are gray, but all of them can see that my screen is emerald green.

Try Steps 1-3. If it still is green, get it looked at. Your screen or logic board could be the cause.
