Problems with DV video & transitions in CS4

In a nutshell:
When I am using DV video on the timeline and do a transition (like a dissolve), I get a black flash before and after the transition.  If I use analog video that I import through the AJA card, I don't have this problem.
The DV video in question is 24p, coming in from a Sony HDV cam via Firewire.  Could it be the 24p causing a problem?
(one other thing --- when I put a graphic on the line above, there is no flash once this is rendered on top)

Three things to look into:
Is there a gap between your Clips? If so, you will need to place an instance of the Transition on the Head of one, and the tail of the other, as they cannot span a gap, even a 1-Frame gap.
Do you have adequate Handles on the Head and Tail of your Clips?
When you Render that Transition, do you still have the black flash?
Good luck, and welcome to the forum,
Hunt

  • Problem with a video transition

    I'm new to FCE and just starting to make titles. I made a simple title in Title 3D, saved the clip back to the Browser, and did an Insert Edit to the beginning of the sequence. I then tried to drag a video transition onto the edit point. It took the transition without the "Insufficient content for edit" warning, which I understand having learned about handles. The first video clip is very short, so I want the transition to be entirely within the title clip. What I wind up with is a one frame transition. I double clicked the transition to open it in the Viewer. Trying to increase the duration of the dissolve to 1 sec. doesn't work. It reverts back to 1 frame. I tried moving the Out point back 30 frames but this only shortened the clip by that amount. What am I doing wrong?
    Mac OS X (10.4.7)
    G4 Dual 867 FCE 3.5 HD 300 GB internal RAID

    The Out point of the incoming clip doesn't matter, it's the In point of the clip that matters. If you understand about handles you understand that you need additional media outside and in front of the marked In point of the incoming shot to make the transition. For a one second transition you need at least 15 frames.

  • I'm having a problem in FCP7 with all video transitions. Every transition has a rolling flicker throughout the effect. What is causing this?

    I recently upgraded to FCP7 from FCP6. I am now having an issue in playback with all video transitions. When I add a transition to my video it does not consistently play smoothly. I now appears to have an old "film" like flicker rolling through the effect. Our video was shot on a dslr and brought into FCP with compressor as a prores 422 file. We use magic bullet for our coloring effects which are in place on this video. When I was working on the project in FCP6 I did not have this problem. When the project was complete we upgraded to FCP7. The client has now come back to us wanting additional footage. So I opened the old project up into FCP7 and checked yes to all format updates to meet with FCP7 guidelines. So far this is the only problem I've encountered. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello!
    For me it looks like conflict with field order (upper, lower - interlaced).
    Please, check Your sequence settings, maybe it should be set to "field order NONE" if Your source is progressive.
    Next thing You could check:
    in Your timeline with bad transitions look into "Effecs tab" - maybe FCP 7 added "shift field filter +/-1" after opening FCP 6 project.
    In general - try to keep sequence settings same as source settings.

  • Cursor problems with new mac pro and cs4

    I am having a major problem with my cursor in photoshop cs4 extended.
    any tool i select as soon as i touch it to the canvas the tool turns to a black mac arrow cursor.
    this is extremely annoying and makes brushing anything almost impossible as i can't see the edge of my brush because it turns to an arrow as i try to use it. (it starts out at the correct size before i actually brush with it)
    i have my brush set as normal and precise tools are set but this problem happens with any brush and tool setting
    I have tried turning off Open GL advanced redraw, all that.
    I have the stock nvidia gt 120 - is it a video card problem? should i have gotten the ati 4870?
    should i reinstall cs4?
    my system is a base octo 2.26 with 6 GB ram - no scratch disk setup yet - waiting on the drives and more ram to come.
    thanks all...

    um...not to detract from the other users problem but mine has nothing to do with displacement of the cursor
    i have uninstalled CS4 suite, reinstalled it, repaired permissions and deleted prefs.
    I am still getting the arrow whenever I click the cursor with any tool to the canvas.
    I am a pro p-shop retoucher - this is making CS4 essentially UNUSABLE - i will only be able to use CS3 and all this after I spent 600 for the "upgrade"?
    I have to teach at a retouching seminar soon and i will have a very poor working knowledge of CS4 as a result
    I can't find any similar complaints at nvidias site or on here
    any help is still needed!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Itunes 7.0.1 still has major problems with jerky video

    I thought the newest update to Itunes 7 would fix my problems with jerky video that have begun since this Itunes 7 came out. At first I thought maybe my computer was too old (powerbook 12" 1.5 Ghz, with maxed out RAM) to play the new resolution, but then I realized that even my old TV shows had jerky playback. It doesn't seem to matter what size. The audio works fine, but the video freezes every few seconds. This is not really acceptable and I'm thinking about uninstalling Itunes 7 until apple issues a fix that address this video playback issue. Anyone have any suggestions or heard anything? Thanks!
    - Tpetdoctor

    I located the problem of the jerky (1 to 2 frames per second) video that started after updating to iTunes7 and 7.0.1!
    Dragging (copying) the file "ATIRadeon9700GLDriver.bundle" from system/library/extensions/ to the desktop and deleting it from the extensions folder (or else simply deleting it and then dragging it from the trash to the desktop) returns normal smooth video to non-H.264 mpeg video on my second generation iMac (ATI Radeon 9600). Unfortunately, this also makes Coverflow stop working with the message "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer". I'm not sure what else will be disabled by moving this file.
    Obviously, this is not a solution, or even a feasible workaround. Where can I get a "good" ATI driver? I went to the ATI site "https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&fold erID=27" and tried installing "macosx-ati-displays-4-5-7.dmg", but to no avail.

  • 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 ???

  • Having Problem with stuttering video. Please help!

    I haven't had a problem with viewing video online with my laptop until a few days ago. Now, all it will do is start to play, then freeze, play for a few seconds, then freeze, etc. etc. If I am on Hulu and pause the video to allow it to buffer, it will go good for a few minutes then start the same thing over again. I have done the same thing on CBS.com, but the results haven't been as good as on Hulu. I have noticed that it is considerably worse when the commercials start. I tried uninstalling my Flashplayer several times to no avail, and I even uninstalled my Antivirus and reinstalled that thinking that might be the problem. Tried right clicking on the player when it's in use and disableing the hardware accelerator in the settings, but that didn't help. I am about ready to pull my hair out!
    OS is Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2
    Using Mozilla FireFox version3.6.8 and Internet Explorer 8 version 8.0.6001.18928
    Have Adobe Flashplayer version 10.1.53.64
    antivirus is Avast! Free version 5.0.594
    If there is any other info needed, let me know!

  • Having PROBLEM with playing videos on my 5800

    Hi all,
    I bought my nokia 5800 2 days ago, and i am havig a problem with my videos.
    When i try to play a video (MP4) SOMETIMES it plays it without a problem, but SOMETIMES it plays a black screen with sound. And the most strange thing is it can play a video and in few hours it will just play sound on the same video!!
    Please try to help..

    download and install this http://www.nokia.co.uk/get-support-and-software/download-software/device-software-update/download and carefully read the instructions it gives you before the update.
     ...Or return the phone and replace it with something from another manufacturer that either A) works out of the box, or B) doesn't require such an awkward and painful update procedure. Nokia seem incapable of either.

  • I'm having problems with Flash Videos (Youtube and ESPN)

    I have been having this problem for the last couple of days now and it is really annoying. Whenever I watch a flash video like on youtube or espn my computer freezes up and the audio will make a loud buzzing sound. I have attached a video with the post so you can see what happens. I don't have problems with anything else except this. I also get this error no matter what browser I use. I have system restored my PC as far as I can go, and I've ran a ton of scans and driver update checks and nothing seems to work.

    merci a tous pour les nombreuses réponse. j'ai dû mal a les lire vue que je ne lit que le français. je vous remercié encore une fois amicalement. Blanchette 2.
