Pre 9 playback issues (white screen)

I just got tabbed with doing the company slideshow for the Christmas party, and I did some research and saw the PRE 9 is supposed to be the best for doing this type of thing. I'm giving it a test run this morning, and I can import pictures, organize them into the timeline, but there's only a white screen in the preview. I rendered everything, and went to "full screen" to see if that would work, still no dice. I hope this is a quick fix that I am just being a bonehed with - HELP?!?

Hello, kirby555. Premiere Elements has its own forum, which is here:

and you'll usually get better help there, since not many of us use PRE. Good luck!

  • Macbook Pro Boot Issue, White Screen with Apple

    Having a similar issue with my macbook pro. When I press the power button, a white screen appears with an apple icon in the middle and a small cirle on the bottom that is like a timer. I thought that the computer might be downloading something, but I left it on for hours and the computer didn't get out of that mode. I have tried several things such as the installation cd, first aid repair, but both said repairs weren't needed and that the drives were fine. Any suggestions on why the computer is doing this? It's been several days and I shut if off, leave it off for an entire day and when I turn it on, the same screen with the apple appears and nothing else.
    Any ideas are appreciated!
    Thank you!

    Hi Claudiat :
    You could try a SMU reset, which may solve your problem,
    from Apple:
    MacBook, MacBook Pro
    If the computer is on, turn it off.
    Disconnect the AC Adapter and remove the computer's battery.
    Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.
    Reconnect the battery and AC Adapter.
    Press the Power button to restart the computer.

  • Quicktime Export Issues (White Screen + No Sound)

    Hi,
    I've been a mac user since 2001 and for that entire time I have had the following issue.
    Any supported movie that I've wanted to export (now 'share' in QTX) to another format or convert to iPhone/iPod/Apple TV in iTunes has ALWAYS produced a movie that has a white screen but full sound. This is over a period as long as I can remember and various iterations of OS X, Quicktime and iTunes.
    Can someone please tell me if this system-wide functionality is actually meant to work or is just there to take up menu space? Please, it's driving me insane!
    P.S. I just clean installed both my systems to 10.6.1 and the issue is still there.
    Rowan

    Do a "test" on your QuickTime Pro exports (or use QuickTime X just for fun) on any HD video found at the http://apple.com/trailers Site.
    Most YouTube files are .flv formats. Do you have http://perian.org installed to assist the export?
    I won't even comment on "ripped" DVD's.

  • Premiere Elements 9 "white screen" issue

    Hello All,
    I recently bought a Canon HFR100 and am new to video editing, and decided to give the PRE9 Trial version a spin..
    My issue is, after installing the trial, and messing around for a few days, all of a sudden I get a white screen for a preview, instead of the viewer with the watermark in my editor. if I double click a video file, ANY video file, no matter what video type I chose for my project file, I get this white screen. The audio is playing fine, but no video, just the white screen. (see image for the white area)
    I've searched the forum for an answer, tried possible solutions (unistall - reinstall quicktime & Flash, added codecs, reinstalled the trial version. etc)...I just dont get it. Nothing else had changed, to my knowledge.
    It's also a new home built machine: Intel i5, 4gb ram, Vista32, EGVA GTS450 Display card....no other problems...
    Any help or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking for good software to edit my son's hockey games, and I was looking at purchasing the full version, but I'm concerned it I do, I'll have the same problem (if it's a corrupt file, somewhere).
    Thanks!

    I am having the same issue -- white screen with all video files, can hear audio but can't see any video when previewing thumbnails or rendering previews or video --
    I have a different configuration:
    Dell Precision M6300
    graphics card: NVIDIA Quadro FX3600M
    OS: Windows XP
    Intel Cor 2 Duo CPU
    T9300 @ 2.5Ghz
    2.47 Gh, 3.50 GB of RAM
    I've updated the driver...
    Quicktime...
    Disabled my anti-virus...
    I've been messing with this since I installed the trial a week ago but still have not been able to get Premiere Elements to work and try.  Any suggestions?

  • WHITE SCREEN IN PRE 9

    Hello, I just upgraded to  PRE 9 about a week ago from PRE 8 and have not been able to playback a video on PRE 9. I get a white screen and the audio plays.
    HP envy 14
    intel i7 q720 @ 1.6 GHz
    4 GB DDR3 RAM
    windows 7 64 bit
    plenty of hard drive space
    ATI mobility radeon hd 5650
    I have downloaded what seemed to be any graphics driver updates and defragged my hard drive.
    Any advice???

    Assuming your video is from a traditional camcorder source (miniDV, HDV, AVCHD or Flip), I think it's time to contact Adobe Tech Support. Your issue is likely too deep for us to troubleshoot on this forum. Sorry.
    EDIT
    From your picture, it appears to be something called .3g2 video -- which is likely the source of your problem. As you can see if you do a Google search, lots of people are having trouble with that format and are looking for converters to convert it to an editable format.
    You can try Super (though Quicktime Pro would be better), per the FAQS to the right of this forum. But I make no guarantees. I don't know enough about where the type of video came from.

  • Issue when signing into adobe I get a blank white screen

    what seems happening is when they log into their adobe account, it will go to a blank white screen and seem to cycle till it eventually times out and gets a connection error.  However, if they type in "adobe.com"  it will show them as having logged in.
    This is happening on ie, and firefox and is not profile specific meaning I can log into the computer under my credentials and experience the same thing.
    I've tried the usual suggestions such as renaming the OOBE folder, deleting temp files, etc.
    I'm thinking it's some kind of issue with adobe flash player.  Any guidance with this would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • My 2006 Macbook won't start up completely. It gets to the white screen but wont go further. What do I have to do to fix the issue?

    I was syncing my ipod to my itunes and the computer froze up. So I used the force shutdown by holding the power button. I then tried to turn it back on but when I did, it would play the chime and bring up the blank white screen before it shows the apple, but it won't go any further than that. Theres alot of clicking going on this whole time as well. The clicking had started while my ipod was syncing. I keep the computer on a cooling pad so i dont think heat had anything to do with it. I shut it down everytime I get off of it, so its not left on for long periods of time either (and i let it power down before closing the laptop).
    I have pushed Alt-Command-P-R to get to the Pram, but my computer still does nothing. I've removed the battery a few times and held down the power button until the beep. Nothing seems to be working. Does anyone know what I have to do?

    TutorDaddy, if this Mac is still covered by the initial warranty or under AppleCare, take it in and have it looked at. As the old label used to say, there truly are "no user serviceable parts inside." Kernel panics very usually indicate failing hardware.
    I have an older iBook G4 that started developing kernel panics and like you, despite reinstalling the OS from a freshly formatted volume, they kept continuing. I looked at the crash log and saw that in each instance of panic, the last bit of code to be accessed had something to do with AirPort. Knowing that the AirPort software was at then current levels, I surmised the problem to be a bad AirPort networking card which, on that particular model of the iBook, was a very small module attached directly to the logic board. Since the computer was out of AppleCare, I broke the machine down myself (I didn't realize that there could be so many barely visible screws in one machine) and removed the offending piece of hardware. My iBook lives but without WiFi, it now sits as a more or less desktop machine needing an ethernet connection to stay connected to a network.
    I do not suggest you break into your iMac. First of all, I'm guessing one would need to be able to pull off the glass and have the necessary glue to reattach it, which is not really available to us consumers. If you're feeling adventurous enough to read the crash logs from each panic, you might be able to surmise the hardware component (or badly written application or library; it can happen) that's causing the panic. If it's a software issue, remove the offending software app and see if the panics return. If it's a hardware issue, it's best to let a competent service tech qualified on Apple hardware to handle it.
    [edited to add:]
    After browsing through related problems in the discussions, I saw this link to a third-party web site being handed out. Perhaps you'll find it useful: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

  • Mac Mini Server Boot Camp Windows 8.1 White Screen Issue

    Hello Apple Peeps!
    I have a Mac Mini Server 2012 which I have had for around 6 months. I use it quite a lot mainly for Music Production on the OS X side and Graphic Design on the Windows side.
    I recently decided to factory restore it as I wanted to spring clean it and reorganise the way some of my apps were installed. The way I had it set up was it was running OS X on one SSD and Windows 8.1 (installed using Boot Camp) on the other SSD. The way I went about the factory restore was I first used disk utility to erase/format the Windows SSD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then went about the factory restore of OS X onto the other SSD as normal (following instructions from the Apple website).
    The issue I am having now is that my newly installed Windows 8.1 (used solely on a single SSD) is hanging on a white screen for quite a long time before the Windows splash screen shows up, where before when I would boot or restart into Windows there was no white screen and it would go straight into the Windows splash screen and load to the desktop very quickly.
    So my question is...
    Why do I get this prolonged white screen before the Windows 8.1 splash screen appears? How can I get rid of it? It was certainly not present on my previous installation. Can anyone advise me what the computer is doing during this time so that I can do some further research into a solution.
    What I have tried already....
    1) PRAM & SMC reset.
    2) Setting the startup disk to Boot Camp in both OS X and Windows 8.1.
    3) Reinstalling Windows 8.1 through Boot Camp.
    MAC MINI SERVER (LATE 2012), 2.6GHZ QUAD CORE I7, 16GB RAM, 2 x 256GB SSD, OS X 10.10.2, Windows 8.1 (Retail), Boot Camp Assistant (5.1.3), Covered By AppleCare.
    I would really appreciate some help with this ;-)

    I have right clicked on each SSD in Device Manager and selected the option 'Properties' from the drop down menu, which brings me to this window...
    I'm not sure where I can find Device Attributes, I have clicked on each of the tabs in the window above, as far as I can see none of them mention AHCI enabled or anything similar. Thanks for all of your responses by the way...much appreciated!

  • White screen - HW issue or not?  Fix?

    A couple of days ago, my iPhone's screen went entirely white.  It's a 3GS.
    I'm thiking some hardware failed, but that's not entirely true.  If I reboot it, I see the normal black background, white apple logo.  Then it comes up and I see my normal lock screen.  If I manage to unlock it before it times out and powers off, it works fine.
    I can go from app to app just fine.  Because I was tryng to install the latest firmware to see if it'd fix the problem, I used it for quite some time (over 30 minutes) to delete pictures to free up space.  So it's not an overheating thing from too much use thing. It was fine.
    But as soon as it goes into sleep mode and powers down, when I try to bring it back up, white screen.
    I can repeat the reboot (which takes over 2 minutes) and get back to a phone I can see, but that is annoying and takes a long time.
    I didn't install any new software (unless updates are going on without me knowing).  But since the problem occurred I have installed the latest firmware.  It still doesn't fix the problem.
    One assumes that if I'm using the same software, it would operate the same and I wouldn't have an issue.  So it must be hardware.  But it does work under the right circumstances (reboot, keep from going into sleep mode).  So it looks like the hardware is OK.  So why is this happening.  Only thing I can think is that it is hardware.  And the software is doing something different on wake-up than it does when it reboots, and that is where the failed hardware comes in and triggers the white screen.
    Any ideas what it could be?  How to fix it?
    Note, this may not be the original screen.  I had ordered several used iPhones to replace my old one and for my kids.  I remember swapping out one screen because it was dim and had a different texture.  May or may not have been for my iPhone.  Whichever phone it was, it's been working since about Christmas 2012. If there were any HW incompatabilities, I would think they'd show up before now.
    Thank you for any info.

    Took it to a cell phone repair place.  They replaced the LCD screen.  Works fine now.

  • H264 playback - white screen in QT 7.12

    A question that has been posted often, but i still haven't found a satisfactory answer, so I appologize in advance, maybe i'im just missing something.
    I am attempting to play a show that was encoded with x264 on my macbook, using Quicktime player 7.12. h264. I get a white screen, but I do get audio.
    all support pages i get to say to load the proper codec, but i was able to play some of the h264 stuff from the quicktime site...
    I can successfully play the file using VLC.
    So, i can play the file, but i'm presuming that quicktime player is what is used with iLife and i'd like to be able to access it via my remote.
    A bit picky to be sure, but i also don't like having difficulties playing stuff in quicktime when it is supposed to be a natively supported codec... If it is a "non-standard" version of encoding i supose that would a reason? but then why would VLC be able to play it?
    Thanks again

    VLC allows playback of many file formats not supported by QuickTime Player.
    Many "PC" versions of H.264 (your x264 files) are not supported as they uses different video codecs.
    Use the Movie Info window to show what codec is used in the file. Search the Internet for a compatible version.

  • Having an intermittent issue where my iMac blanks out on me. On restarting I get bands running down the screen with pixels jumping around, then the white screen of death and nothing... Wouldn't restart all weekend, now fine..? any ideas whats wrong?

    Having an intermittent issue where my iMac blanks out on me. On restarting I get several bands running down the screen with pixels jumping around within the bands, then the white screen of death and nothing... This happens intermittently and usually restarts OK. Happened again three days ago and wouldn't restart for two days (again the bands/pixels etc) but now operating fine? Any ideas whats wrong with my iMac and what the solution may be? Also gets very hot from time to time, particularly if I'm playing music/watching youtube/movies for extended periods.

  • White Screen- New Hard Drive Same issue

    I had a white screen. The MacBook Pro would do nothing. The only way I could get it to work was by pressing option when powering on but even then I tried everything reinstalling Lion. When I tried to reinstall lion it would pop up with an error message. It would not even let me choose a location. I ordered a new harddrive and I am still having the same issue. White Screen when I turn the computer on unless I press the option and power button and Still an error message when I try to reinstall lion. ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME!!! THANK YOU!!

    If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
    1. Boot from the Recovery partition or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.

  • White screen issue with DVC Pro HD

    I have a G5, have Final Cut HD and have upgraded to QT 7 Pro. I am trying to open an HD file I shot last year, which was edited on another system. When I try to open the clip, it is a white screen with audio. The movie info is as follows.
    DVCPRO HD (720p60), 1280 x 720, Millions
    16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    Any ideas on why it is not playing? Thanks!
    John M

    ok... i just got this on mine. yesterday i was just getting ready to log subclips from fcp5, and when i opened the project file, i noticed that all my subclips i created and orignal clip where all red / out. so i closed fcp5 and went to the location of the file. i double clicked it, and behold, white screen, audio only.. so i had to completely redo the convertion of the orginal file.
    next day
    I was looking for a subclip that i had already extracted from the main file, and when i double clicked it showed the video. after that closed the window, and someone asked me to reopen the quicktime file again, i double clicked it, and all of a sudden the video was white, and only audio.
    ive spent about 4 to 5 hours researching with someone else on this issue and have yet to find anything such as a fix, or work around, but my video keeps disappearing which is disturbing. from what we have come down to the issue is deals within quicktime are below...
    we believe that quicktime is somehow changing the codecs DVC PRO and changing it to "Integer (Big Endian), Timecode, Video.." that is what it says.. and comepletely removing the codec for the video, and deleting the video footage, but keeping the audio in place perfectly. now, we also used metadatahootenanny to inspect a copy of the file and low and behold severe corrupt of the meta data in the quicktime file. the issue be with quicktime interaction with storage, or a bug quicktime behalf. we need to find a solution to this issue. we are currently in contact with apple tech support and hopefully we will be posting a answer soon.
