Problem with previewing video when capturing

I recently had to reinstall FCP onto my Powerbook and since doing this the following problem has occured:
When I open the log and capture window the program recognises my DV deck and plays the footage fine. However, when I start to capture the footage, the video preview is disabled - it freezes on the 1st frame. The video is capturing fine and when I check the audio preview box I am able to listen to the audio whilst capturing, but I can usually preview the video as well.
In the audio / video settings the 'capture card supports simultaneous play through and capture' boxis checked - and as I say, this was fine before re-installing.
Presumably this is as simple as a preference that has not been altered since I re-installed the program?
If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

It is highy likely that quicktime is wacky after the FCP reinstall.
go to /library/receipts and delete any files that say quicktime followed by a number (eg Quicktime652.pkg)
Go to the Quicktime download web site and download the correct version for your OS and FCP version.
Reinstall.
Reboot.
Repair permissions.
Good luck.

  • Problems with Slide Video, when returning to a slide

    Hello all!
    I have a weird problem with my Captivate presenation, I wonder if anyone could help me...
    I have Captivate training course that I've made (output to Flash to run on a SCORM-compliant system).  It has a table of contents which points to different "lesson" screens with videos.
    All videos are of type "slide video", they will be launched from the LMS running the course. 
    When I click on the slide to play the video the first time, it plays just fine. But if I go back to it later, it acts erratically (plays from middle of video, starts looping weirdly, etc).
    Has anyone else seen this?  Wanted to know what I could do to fix.
    Thanks!
    Daniel

    To better illustrate, I've created a simple project with a menu slide and a slide video slide - a really over-simplified version of what I'm trying to do, but still has the same problem. The project is online to download at:
    http://ge.tt/8TqfXEA?c
    If anyone has time, here is how to recreate the difficulty I'm experiencing:
    Run the project (either preview or export SWF, either way is fine)
    From the first slide (menu), click on the button, which will go to the next slide and play the video
    After the video finishes, click on the "Return to Menu" button
    Once back at the menu, click the button to play the next slide & video again. You'll notice that playback is erratic (starts later in the video, also begins weirdly looping).
    Please let me know how I can rectify - it's a really big problem. If I'm doing something stupid, please let me know (although I don't think I am - it's a really minimal project setup).
    Thanks again for any help anyone can provide!!!

  • Problem with previewing videos.  And a second question

    I'm using CS4.  So I got this program in last week and have been working on learning some of the tricks for it.  I'm recording most of my footage in HD.  When viewing fottage in the Source player it's fine, but when I actually use the preview player, the one to the far right by default, the video is choppy and hangs, pretty sure it's just using a bit too much of my resources currently, I don't care about seeing the preview player video in HD,what can I do to make the preview player use less resources but still keep my videos in HD format so that when I export they are still in 720p or 480p.  I know it has to do with creating a new sequence, but can't figure out which setting I need to change and to what.
    Second, sometimes I'm only able to record footage in 480p because of various reasons, I have the ability to record in 720p most of the time, the problem is when I have a project that involves both resolutions.  I can only see 4 options, 1 record the 720p stuff in 480p when the project involves 480p, 2 scale the 480p video up to "720" (and yes I know this isn't ideal but for my projects this may actually work), 3 add the 480p footage in and simply let it be smaller than the 720p footage and last, make 2 different videos one for the 720 one for the 480, and have my video be 2 parts.  Is there any option I missed?  I do not believe I can have mutlple sequences per video file, is that correct?
    Thanks in advance.

    Glad that you saw the red line. Hitting the Enter key will Render your Timeline. It can be limited, by using the WAB (Work Area Bar), in the same area of the timeline. It has a little "bracket" at each end, and you can drag them to limit the WAB. I use this a lot, when I am Keyframing animation and only want to Render a small area. [Note: the WAB can also be used to limit one's Export too.]
    Is there a way I can make sure the sequence matches up to the video I'm importing?
    If you generate the footage, the easiest way to get full determination of its properties, is to note the camera's settings. If you did not shoot the footage, then the freeware utility, G-Spot, will give you all of the info. If necessary, you can do a Desktop Preset (Custom) for your Sequence to make it match your footage. Say your footage was 640 x 320 @ 25 fps. You could set those parameters in your Desktop Sequence settings. You want to match your Project/Sequence to your footage. If you need another size for output, you do that in Adobe Media Encoder (AME).
    Good luck,

  • Problems with preview video with BM ultrastudio mini monitor and AE CC 2014

    Hi,
    We don´t have video preview option for BM ultrastudio mini monitor with AE CC 2014.
    Anybody knows a solution for this? We have installed 10.1 drivers version of BM.
    Thanks a lot.

    There is a slightly newer 10.1.1 version of drivers available from Blackmagic:
    http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
    Thanks for posting the screenshot. This shows that After Effects does not see the Mercury Transmit plug-in for Blackmagic. You should verify whether the plug-in is present:
    os drive/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/7.0/MediaCore/
    The file will be named DeckLinkTransmit.bundle, or something similar.
    If the file is present, try uninstalling and reinstalling the (latest version of) Blackmagic drivers.
    If After Effects still does not recognize the Blackmagic Mercury Transmit plug-in, open Premiere Pro CC 2014 and check Preferences > Playback, and whether or not video preview works there.

  • Monitoring audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP studio

    Is there a way I can monitor audio in sync with video when capturing in FCP Studio? I know you can plug headphones into your tape deck but that sound is not in sync with the video in the capture window due to time delay. I tried plugging the headphones into my Powerbook but could not get any audio coming through these, nor audio through the Mac's inbuilt speakers.

    The preview checkbox is ticked and the audio monitor indicates that sound is being picked up (the levels rise and fall) but I still can't hear anything! The audio/video sync on the external monitor is ok, but because there is a time delay between that and the video capture window, I can't use that as a reliable monitor for sound sync. If I could resolve the video sync problem there, then I could monitor the sound through the external monitor.

  • Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. A sound/video technician told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use  cmd+ r  when restarting. Is this the right way?

    Hi! I´m having problems with showing video files in Qlab on my Macbook Air. It started suddenly. Consulted a sound/video technician who told me to "blow out" my Mac. Was told to use cmd+r  when restarting. Is this the right way to clean up my Mac? And is it likely that some kind of bug is causing problems for Qlab to show video files? I´ve already tried with a bunch of different video files and sometimes Qlab plays them and sometimes not. I need the Qlab playlist for a theatre show and only have a week until showtime so starting to really worry. Is there anyone out there who can help?

    Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
    Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
    No idea why that was suggested.
    You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
    Check these folders:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    /Library/Input Methods/
    /Library/InputManagers/
    /Library/ScriptingAdditions
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
    ~/Library/Input Methods/
    ~/Library/InputManagers/
    ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
    The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
    To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

  • Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?

    Hi. I have a OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 Mac Book Air, Processor 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?
    The video starts out fine, but if I click on the expand icon in the lower right corner of the screen the audio won't keep up.
    Refreshing the page don't help at all. In fact, nothing seems to help once it starts.
    I did not have this problem at all using Mavericks. The problem started after installing Yosemite.
    Any way to fix it?

    only $99, i thought it was closer to $175.

  • I'm having problem with exporting video from premiere pro cc 2014

    I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I'm having problem with exporting video.
    When I click Export and media, the window for exporting appears and it starts exporting video.
    But after a few minutes, it looks like it has completed exporting video and says there's a bug in exporting.
    It literally says it has a problem with compiling, but I don't know what the real problem is.
    I tried many things like restarting computer and Premire Pro but it's no use.
    But it works when I use Adobe Media Encoder CC 2014 for exporting video.
    If anyone knows any possibilities about why this problem happens, please let me know.

    I'm having a similar issue.  When I go to export my project, I add it to the render queue, set it up with the h.264 settings that I've used with countless past versions of the program, and then hit render.  Randomly, at some point in the process, the render just stops and the ETA just keeps climbing.  I actually had to save an XMF file of the CC 2014 project and bring it into the previous CC version of Premiere just to finish it.  Even a clean re-install of CC 2014 doesn't work.

  • I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie.  Any suggestions to fix?

    I used Roxio VHS to DVD for Mac (have iMac with Snow Leopard) and the audio does not synch with the video when playing in iMovie.  Any suggestions to fix?

    Thanks for the reply.  I tried playing with detaching the audio in iMovie, but with 20+ hours of video to correct, it would take too long.  After 28 hours, Corel/Roxio tech support replied that it is a known bitrate mismatch problem and they have no real fix.  I strongly suggest not to buy this product.

  • Problems with Flash Video

    OK - I have had intermittent problems with Flash video, basically it gets choppy, usually after about 20 minutes - half an hour of watching - recently this problem has gotten worse - coinciding with a recent system update perhaps? - it's more or less anytime I stream something, and it happens on all browsers, even when the movie has clearly downloaded and is buffered way in advance of the playhead.
    On 2 occasions recently leaving the movie to play just to see what happens has led to a kernel panic.
    I've heard alot about Flash video generally being a resource hog and not playing ball sometimes - is there a way to solve this issue? Things I have tried - reset sound to 16 bit 44.1 khz in audio/midi manager; fixed permissions; run Tech Tool - everything seems to be fine hardware wise - I think there are some incompatible driver issues that are meesing up RAM usage but have no idea what or how to solve this... Any ideas anybody?
    Thanks.

    If, as you show, you are running 10.5.2, that is out of date. You need to install the 10.5.8 combo updater.
    It is also possible that your FlashPlayer is out of date.
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Memory leak problems with loading videos over and over.

    I'm having memory leak problems with loading videos into a VideoPlayer aswell as FLVPlayback.
    What the flash should do:
    - Should be running for 7 days without having to restart the projector.
    - Interface that shows people around a 360 3D model with 5 different parts and at the stops it makes during the rotation you can click to zoom in on a location which plays a movie for that aswell.
    - Shows a video out of 5 parts for a 360 rotation in 3D in mp4 video (added each time and cleaned up, see code below).
    - Still images are used when the video clips are done playing (MovieClip in stage).
    - Should run automatically when there is no user interaction for X minutes.
    What the problem is:
    - The flash (as a exe and swf i guess) starts to consume memory over time (say 10 hours) until the projector crashes. This usually at around 1.75 GB of memory.
    I cannot see why the Flash cannot garbage collect this and free up the memory. Mabye there is something I don't understand about the garbage collection in flash?
    Here is some code from the video loading and playing:
    var fVideo:VideoPlayer;
    VideoCreate();
    function VideoReady(pEvent:VideoEvent):void
    trace("VideoReady()");
         // start playing video
    fVideo.play();
    function VideoLoad(pUrl:String):void
         trace("VideoLoad(" + pUrl +
         VideoCreate();
         if (pUrl != "")
              if (fVideoFolder + pUrl == fVideo.source)
                   fVideo.seek(0);
    VideoReady(null);
              } else {
    trace(fVideo.state);
                   if (fVideo.state !=
    VideoState.DISCONNECTED) fVideo.stop();
    fVideo.close();                                
    fVideo.load(fVideoFolder + pUrl);
         } else {
    // error no url
    function VideoCreate():void
         trace("VideoCreate()");
         // remove old one
         if (getChildAt(0) == fVideo)
              removeChildAt(0);
         fVideo = new
    VideoPlayer(1024, 768);
         addChildAt(fVideo, 0);
         fVideo.autoRewind = false;
    fVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.COMPLETE, VideoDonePlaying);
    fVideo.addEventListener(VideoEvent.READY, VideoReady);

    Hmm. It's in connection with Dropbox. Så apparantly you can only use one of the two at the same time if you want the programs integrated in Finder.

  • Problem with Nokia Video Manager - No video, only ...

    Hi all,
    I have a problem with nokia video manager. I have been converting movies to mp4 and watching with my cell phone for a while now. But all the videos I have converted were less than 30 min. long.
    When I tried to watch a video longer than 36 minutes, the picture froze some time around 36th minute and only the sound continued to play. I have tried several other videos with similar lenghts and all seem to freeze at the same exact point. The player continues to play the sound after picture freezes.
    Could someone please help ???

    Hi Heiko
    Did you create a package for enterprise deployment?
    Creative Suite Enterprise Deployment | Adobe Developer Connection
    The Adobe Enterprise packaging tool varies depending on which version of CS or CC you are packaging.
    Also you need to have a license/serial number that supports the use of enterprise deployment tools.  These tools allow you to create an install package that is already serialised and doesn't prompt for AdobeID where you license agreement supports such deployments.
    Also what image deployment system are you using to which client OS.
    The process is pretty simple now with the improved tools from Adobe, still some improvements they can make but it's a lot better than in the past.
    Good luck.
