Problems with video: green preview, export error -50

I have a video recorded with Open Broadcaster Software for Windows 7. As far as I know, the program creates standard H264 + AAC video (see screenshot - media info from VLC).
However, after moving the video to OS X, FCPX wouldn't import it. I found a strange solution online which used FFmpeg to change color sampling.
After that, the video does import, but although the video preview plays, it is initially (for a second or so) black and some of the thumbnails are just dark green frames. This affects the editing proccess a bit but it is not impossible. The biggest issue is that when trying to export the video, Error -50 comes up as soon as processing (transcoding) hits the imported file.
I have tried the following:
transcoding the file to Apple ProRes Proxy
running the file through HandBrake
deleting Rendered Files and turning rendering off
installing AC3 (A52) codec
None of these solutions worked. Is there any way you can think of to deal with this problem (other than giving up and redoing all the work in Premiere)?
Computer: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013), i7 2,4 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 650M
OS X: 10.10.2 Yosemite (14C109)
FCPX: 10.1.3 (251130)

If MPEG Streamclip (or Compressor, if you have it) will open it, convert it to a QuickTime movie, Pro Res 422. Then open it in Quicktime to verify that it plays correctly. If it does, import that into FCP.

  • Problems with videos when I export

    Hi,
    I have some problems with my videos when I export them. I edit my video, but I have problems with audio in the exported video. Either the audio is missing completely or I hear the audio from another videoframe. I thought that the transitions are the problem, but they're not. Sometimes I have the problem also when I watch the video in iMovie. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Alek,
    Does this issue happen with more than one project in iMovie or is it just one?
    If the audio is out of sync or missing and it is confined to only one project, the most I can suggest is that you restore from a backup copy as that suggests the project file is corrupted.
    If the issue is happening in multiple projects do a test to make sure iMovie is working correctly:
    Capture 5-10 minutes worth of iSight footage.
    Edit the movie adding a few titles and transitions.
    Export to quicktime.
    Is the audio correct here?
    If the audio is fine that means that iMovie is fine. Something is wrong with the projects or the original footage. You could try taking the Event you are working with, adding it to a new project, and then without editing it, export the entire project out as Quicktime. Then import the resulting file as a new event. The process of exporting (encoding) and then re-importing might clean up minor corruption within the file.
    Hope that helps

  • Problem with Video Quality when exporting to Quicktime or using compressor

    I've attempted exporting a video sequence (stills with transitions, video footage and audio tracks) directly as a QuickTime Movie and using Compressor (Apple-DVD-HD_30 Minutes) for import into DVD Studio. The export process seems to work well for each. Only problem: the video seems to get a bit distorted at random spots. The best way to describe the distortion: images (still and video) seem to blur and squiggle for a few frames at a time. This distortion is especially prevalent during more complex transitions (3 Spins and such). The sequence is nice and clean in Final Cut. I'm only seeing this distortion after export. Thanks for any thoughts you might have on this issue.

    @Harm,
    "Pear-shaped" (or sometimes "fruit-shaped") is a euphemism meaning that the effort has gone awry; it was a mess.
    @John,
    Export to DVD is a PPro 2.0 function; in CS3 it is now Export to Encore. Is that what you meant?
    First thing is to check the field orders of your source material and of your export settings. Don't invert them, and don't deinterlace interlaced footage.
    Perhaps a short list of the settings you have tried (and why you chose those settings) would help us help you.

  • Apple TV Problem with Video green static noise locked screen

    My AppleTV is stuck with solution in sight. Hadn't used it in a while, turned it on noticed speckled noise throughout the screen was getting stuck due to the new version of itunes. i reset it to where it never left the Apple logo screen.
    Noise throughout again still. could still here sounds like i was moving buttons so its really as though the screen just continues to be locked. now the screen is just black with no green noise. no apple logo. no movement of anykind.
    is it fried? a graphics card issue? motherboard? HDMI? has it turned into a paperweight?

    one of these most likely
    HDMI?
    probably not
    has it turned into a paperweight?
    sounds like it I'm afraid
    What does the light do, constant amber flashing?
    Any response to remote from the light?
    Try unplugging all cables for a few mins then try again, if no improvement it's almost certainly had it.
    If in warranty try an Apple Store if you have one nearby.

  • PE3 problems with video quality when exporting

    I've had this issue when putting DVD movies I own onto my iPod, but because I'm doing a client video now, it's crucial that I get the highest possible video and sound quality out of my project. Because the project I'm working on will be about 45 minutes long, I wanted to avoid working on the whole thing in one file since Premiere begins to refuse to let me do the simplest functions if I have too many clips in the timeline. I've been splitting the project up into segments and my plan is to export them and work with them as single clips when compiling the final project together.
    Now here's my problem: I export the segments as HDV 1080 60i files for the highest quality possible, but whenever the exported file is played, these horizontal lines appear on the screen. It's as if the colors are smeared a bit. I honestly don't know how else to describe it. On an iPod, it's only slightly noticeable, but on TV screens like this project will be played on, it'll be too distracting to be acceptable. Can anyone help me out here?

    No, all I'm trying to do is export it to the highest quality video so it can be put back into Premiere to be exported again along with several other clips (also exported in the same way). From there, I'll use different software to burn the entire file onto a DVD. No Blu-Ray, no camcorders, not even firewire connections (my computer doesn't have any). It's just going to be used by some 150 families to be viewed on their DVD players once the product is finished.

  • Problem with video capture device, with a virtual camera

    I try to use Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 with a virtual camera(DirectShow Filter) but met such a problem:
    "Error connecting input preview RGB filter."
    "Failed with error 80004005:SetupInputVideoPreview(pFilter, pguidCategory)"
    "Failed with error ffffff97:SetupVideoPreview(pFilterSource)"
    "Problem with video capture device. Please verify that the video capture device is working correctly and is not already in use."
    However, it is good to use AMCap,
    what's the problem with FMLE.
    Looking forward to your replies. Thx!

    Did you ever figure out the problem/solution?
    I am experiencing the same thing with my virtual camera filter when connecting to FME?

    The second message that you are getting "The selected audio device "Beholder Aud Capture (SAA7135)" doesn't allow setting volume intensity. Disabling the volume slider control." is because your device does not let you change intensity of volume. This warning message is just to tell user that volume slider will remain disabled for the selecetd device. This is new addition in FMLE 3.0 and was not there in FMLE 2.5
    Also for first message, please make sure that no other instance of FMLE is already running using this device. You can verify this from task manager. If any other instance of FMLE is running then please close that instance so that device gets free for new instance.

  • Problem with Adobe Premiere Elements 10 : error DW046

    Dear community members,
    I have bought Adobe Premiere Elements  10 and installed it from the DVDs on my MAC OSX10.5.8 on december 27, 2013
    When creating a new project , I get the following message :
    following a serious error, Premiere Elements 10 must stop
    Then I click OK and I get a new message :
    The Premiere 10 application has closed suddenly after having been rebooted
    Then I end up to the error report window. I have sent the error report  to Apple  ( I can send it to you if you want)
    I have also got the following error message :
    DW046 : following conflicting process were running, block : dynamiclinkmanager
    Notice : it seems this problem is occuring since I underwent a power failure while working on a project. When I want to open an existing project I get the following message :
    it seems that Premiere Elements has closed in an unexpected way during the last session. Do you want to open the previous project?
    When I say YES, I save it and it comes back to the welcome menu and I cannot see this project.
    I have tried to deinstall and reinstall Premiere 10 : this is impossible since I am required to deactivate dynamiclinkmanager that I cannot find.
    Notice that Adobe AIR is unable to find a solution whilst it recognizes there is a problem.
    Thanks you for your help

    AT Romano,
    The various links you have provided were very helpful. I could kill the dynamiclinkmanager.
    It seems that it is now working.
    Thank you, your reply was very quick and your advices very good

    When you get the message
    it seems that Premiere Elements has closed in an unexpected way during the last session. Do you want to open the previous project?
    Do you go to the last AutoSave to open that or do you go to the save location of the project file (project.prel) to open that file?
    Are you getting message to close the dynamiclinkmanager so that you can move forward?
    If so, please check out dynamiclinkmanager location in the following link

    PROBLEms with videos in imac G4 flat 17'

    It would help to know what videos you are having trouble with?   Are these from specific internet links? Are these playing back commercial DVDs? Are these videos produced by iMovie, Final Cut Pro, or iDVD of home video? Are these videos imported from an external Firewire or USB adapter such as Elgato's devices. You give us little to go on.   Please give us more details what is going on?

  • Problem with Quicktime stops Preview in Photoshop? Mac OSX 10.6.8

    There were no warnings about Lion blocking old software when I installed Lion. Because purchasing new software was beyond my budget,
    I had it removed and went back to Leopard 10.6.8.  Now when I'm working in Photoshop and have adjusted an image, a message appears "Because of a problem with Quicktime, a preview can't be built.  Quicktime Player 10 is in the Applications folder, and Quicktime Play 7 is in the Utilities folder.
    Quicktime movies in Support on the Apple site won't play either.  Please advise steps to take or new download.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
