Program monitor goes blank when editing certain clips

A few days ago a 2 new problems occurred.
1.
The project I have is sett to 720, 24 fps.
The clips I use is from 5D MK3, shot in 720, 50fps.
Some of the clips I made duplicates of, and interpreted to 24fps for a slomo effect.
The 24fps clips works fine on the timeline. But the one that still has 50fps will go black in the program monitor when I try to edit them on the timeline.
It doesnt matter what I do, ripple edit or just shorten, still gets black. If I drag the marker over tha clips it shows fine though, but when editingt hem, just black.
2.
The second problem is regarding the very last clip in the timeline.
The last frame, orjust some visual error after the last frame, now has the right part of the program monitor screwed up. A part of the screen is black.
All this started like 2 days ago, after I upgraded my 2xSingle license to full CC. I had PS and PPro before.
Whats going on?
Some facts:
- Premiere Pro CC 7.1.0 (141) - All updated
- Win 7 64bit (all updated as of 2013-11-30)
- 64 GB ram
- Clips from Canon 5D MK3, 720, 50fps, IPS codec
- No other software running, restarted several times
- Geforce 480GTX, Asus P9X79, Intel Core i7 3820 3.6 GHz, Corsair 32GB (4x8192MB) CL10 1866Mhz
- GeForce Drivers 331.82
- Never had this problem before
- Mercury Playback Engine GPU Enabled (disabled doesnt solve the problem)
Please Advice

As I wrote, " I can drag the ends of the in/out points, BUT I cant drag the selected area in the source monitor"
Again, the source monitor was just a comparrison, to show that this wasnt a problem only with the program monitor. I posted the image since you didnt understand what I meant.
There are apparent issues with inserting theese clips on the timeline or editing them. I'm sorry if my bad english messes this up
I guess you'll have to include all the info I have written to get a grip of the situation, so I will try to clarify again for you, if you think it will help
- The project I have is sett to 720, 24 fps.
- The clips I use are from 5D MK3, shot in 720, 50fps.
- Some of the clips I interpreted to 24fps for a slomo effect.
- I have QT installed
- All drivers updated
- The interpreted 24fps clips works fine on the timeline.
- But the one that still has 50fps will go black in the program monitor when I try to edit them on the timeline.
- It doesnt matter what I do, ripple edit or just shortens/makes longer, it still gets black.
- If I just drag the marker over the clips in the timeline it looks fine.
- If I interpret to 1-48fps, it works fine. Only 49-50 fps screws it up
- Some problems occur in the source monitor. I CANT drag the full grey selection with the handle in the middle I made with in/out points, as shown in the picture
- I tried to make a new project, same problems.
- Everything worked fine a cople of days ago
I hope this makes it easier to locate the issue.
Thanks

Premiere Pro 5.5 program monitor goes blank, please help!

I started a super simple brand new project in Premiere Pro 5.5, importing only simple, small resolution png files (to create an animation), and my program monitor goes completely blank. This started happening right when I updated the driver for my video card. I run a Windows 7 64-bit machine, with NVidia Quadro 2000, driver updated (333.11), source footage is png files, my OS is up to date, I use just a single monitor, there are no error messages at all, when I try to scrub, my program monitor stops working (it shows a still image), then suddenly it goes completely black! I have no third party effects, plug-ins or hardware installed. And yes, my Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is good. I am completely stumped since the project is barely started. Does anyone have any ideas?!

Second monitor goes "blank" when first monitor goes full screen in Mtn Lion.

Hello Apple community. I am using two monitors and when I put a program like iTunes in fullscreen mode (with the arrow symbol in top right) the second monitor displays that grey patchwork and I can't move windows over there.
My question: Is there any setting to change this (so I could have one screen in fullscreen mode and the other screen on the desktop) or is this just the way it is?
Any info would much appreciated!
Thanks

It's just the way it is.
BetterTouchTool (free app, in the app store) has a little feature that resizes your windows to full size when you drag them near the top edge and returns them to the previous size when you drag them down again. I find this useful when using two monitors (saves you having to resize them manually).

Why does my video clip show in the program monitor only when it is playing (the program monitor is blank otherwise)?

I am using WIndows 7 64 bit, and the most recent version of Premiere Pro CC on an I7 machine with 8GB of memory. I have imported a HD .mov clip and placed it on the timeline. When I press 'Play', it shows in the Program Monitor window. When I stop the playing, the window goes blank. I have rendered the clip (it has a yellow bar above it). Even after rendering, the yellow bar remains and the sequence only displays when it is playing. The source monitor has the same behavior.
Not being able to see where I am in a clip is making editing very difficult. I have used Premiere Elements for five years, I have taken the Lynda.com course, so I have some familiarity with the program that suggests that the frame at the point of the CTI should show in the program and source monitors.
What do I need to do to be able to see the frame in the monitors when it isn't playing?
Update: I spent 35 minutes with Tushar in a technical support chat (case number: 0186148124), during which time we deleted the contents of the Media cache folder in C:/Users/Your User Account/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common file (after using task manager to close coresync32.exe and creativecloud32.exe) and renamed both the Adobe folder and the 8.0 folder in Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/8.0. This didn't get it, but was necessary for the next step:
Going to the File menu, Project Settings, and selecting 'General Settings', Tushar had me change the Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only (I don't have a GPU accelerator video card yet). I received a warning that all previews would be deleted, which I accepted. That brought the image back to the Program Monitor.
I've posted this for anyone who may experience a similar challenge in the future. Despite a lot of Google searching before I contacted Tech Support, I didn't find anything even close to the description of the problem. I hope this provides that source for future searchers.
Jeff

Thanks, Ann. As I mentioned in my post, Tushar correctly pointed out that, without a GPU accelerated card (which I don't have - mine is a piece of junk which I will be replacing with a compatible one soon) you must use the software only settings. I had changed my project over to the 'software only' setting, and I still had the problem. The value Tushar added was the procedure for clearing the cache.
What I did originally was a newbie error, no argument. I posted it here for others who may fall in the same hole. Your reply confirms that, without a GPU accelerated card, use the software only settings (sounds so obvious, yet I missed it.....).

Lg cosmos touch goes blank when placing VM calls

My lg touch goes blank when calling vm & i cannot get the dial pad w/o opening the phone. I've seen other postings regarding resetting the proximity in the service menu but i cant find it on this phones menu. how / where do i go to reset the proximity settings IF that is what will fix it. thanks.

Hello yosmt! I've researched the operation you've mentioned (changing the proximity settings on the Cosmos Touch) and can't find any data on it. I can tell you this: If you're dialing to your voicemail or any other Interactive voice response system, the display should remain illuminated while the phone is held at a distance from the human face for at least 5 seconds. If your phone isn't doing that, then we have to discuss options other than changing settings. If you want, you can send me a personal message through the forum. Please include your name and mobile number. Thanks!

Diagram goes blank when bpel file is outside default dir

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper v10.1.2.1.0 and the “Diagram view” goes blank when I take the “.bpel” file from the project root directory (the default location) to some other directory, even though I modify the references accordingly. My suitcase looks like this:
<BPELSuitcase>
<BPELProcess id="TaskAssignment" src="../../bpel/TaskAssignment.bpel">
<partnerLinkBindings>
<partnerLinkBinding name="client">
<property name="wsdlLocation">TaskAssignment.wsdl</property>
</partnerLinkBinding>
</partnerLinkBindings>
</BPELProcess>
</BPELSuitcase>
The project compiles successfully with “rebuild”, the “Source” tab allows me to see the BPEL source code, but the “Diagram view” remains blank. Why?
Thanks,
Manuel

I have the similiar issue even when the BPEL file is not touched or moved. This happens in I use the email activity.

Program Monitor - I'm not seeing whole clip when playing back

I'm real worried! Having spent days of my life importing video and editing it - and then trying to fix my problem of only seeing a part of the playing-back clip in the program monitor which led me onto your site. I've spent hours looking at your posts (and indeed Adobe help pages) trying to solve this and clearly (I think!) my original sequence settings have been wrong. Maybe I can come back to that because I'm really not sure how to set these correctly. My initial question please, if I complete my editing and then export this file, will I still only see part of the clips in the final version, or will I see the whole of the original movie clip?
Some information:
- Windows 7
- Premiere Pro CS4
- Program Monitor setting is "Fit"
- 16:9 aspect ratio
- PAL (based in the UK)
- Sony HD camcorder - SR12E
- 1920 x 1080i HD
Phew, hope that's enough information for you to 'kick start' me!
Thank you.
Regards, Doreen.

Would you also be able to tell me if the Sequence Preset below is my correct preset for the future. Thanks.
- AVCHD
- 1080i
- AVCHD 1080i30 60i (Amamorphic)
Oh, it's like a new language!
Regards,
Doreen.

Crashes, graphics glitches, and more crashes when editing video clips

Can't for the life of me figure out why PE keeps crashing on me, so I'm here for help.
My system consists of a i7-970 hexacore, 6GB ram, 1x 500GB os drive, 3x500gb raid 0 drives (this is where my video clips are stored), 2x GeForce GTX460 video cards.
OS is Windows 7 Profressional 64 bit.
The video files I work with are generally in the 50-200GB size.
A little background - the videos that I am working with are recordings from Battlefield Bad Company 2 that I have recorded with some capture software called Dxtory.
I record at 1920x1080 at 60 FPS to avi files. The avi files are using the "xtor" codec (Dxtory's own codec)
[ISFT] DxtoryCore ver2.0.0.101
[ISRC] Video:YUV420 Audio:Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)
Audio is PCM 192000Hz recorded in stereo.
Let me start by saying I have not had trouble with this before until I started recording the videos at 60 FPS. 30 FPS worked ok (some crashes here and there, but they were bearable), but the frequent crashes started happening when I started working with the 60 FPS videos, done mainly so I could play around with slowing the clips down, etc.
Sometimes I can open and edit clips just fine.
Recently, a project that I'm working on is crashing when I try putting two different clips from different files together on the time line. I managed to get it to work once, and saved the project after that. Then, PE crashed randomly and when trying to reopen the project, it just crashes and won't let me get any further.
I should mention the graphics glitches as well - occasionally (especially when previewing video clips before adding them to the timeline) after I close the preview window, the graphics in PE will glitch out, causing random lines to appear in certain areas, graphics to stack on top of eachother and freeze up, and sometimes I can click on the "play" button in the main project window and hear everything start playing, but the graphics are completely screwed up to the point where I can't view the video or hit the pause button.
All of my computer hardware is fine, all drivers, and PE, are up to date.
Can someone please help me figure out what is going on? I'll be happy to provide any more information that might help out.

The most likely issue is the codec that your program is using the create your video. It's apparently not compatible with Premiere Elements.
This often happens also when people try to record their on-screen video with FRAPS.
You'll see lots of discussions on this issue in the Premiere Pro forum. However, it's even more pronounced in Premiere Elements, which is designed to work almost exclusively with camcorder video.
Some video programs are a little more versatile with this type of video. Some people have found Corell's Video Studio better at handling these non-traditonal formats.
But I did a Google search on Dxtory editing and couldn't find any information on it.
Sorry I can't offer a solution. But I can pretty much assure you that Premiere Elements isn't it. sorry.

Samsung 205BW goes blank when using DVI

Hi
I have a G4 Mac Mini. I recently purchased a [url="http://komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=322266"]Samsung 205BW 20in widescreen LCD monitor[/url].
I connected it via the DVI port on my mini with the DVI cable that came with the monitor and it seemed to work great but occasionally the screen will flick black as if there was nothing connected to it. It happens most noticeably when I go from a fullscreen quicktime video to the desktop or if I activate Expose. Also if the Mini goes to sleep and I try to wake it the screen stays black and I either have to reboot or change to using the VGA cable.
The monitor works perfectly if I use a DVI-VGA adaptor and connect to the VGA port on the monitor but I'd prefer to use DVI.....
I read on here of people using SwitchResX to change the settings for the monitor. I downloaded it but I don't really know what to input in the custom settings... perhaps someone here can help?
Here is the DDC file from SwitchResX:

Mac Mini G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I had the exact problem you report with my core duo Mac Mini connected to a Syncmaster 204B. This problem persisted when I returned the monitor several times to Samsung for replacement 204B's. They eventually upgraded me to a refurbished 204T and the problem disappeared.
It seems to me that Samsung has some real problems with screen blanking when their monitors are hooked by DVI to certain Macintoshes. For anyone contemplating a Samsung monitor, I'd recommend another brand until it's known that this screen blanking problem has been resolved with all Samsung models.

Source and Program monitors are blank

I am editing in cs5 PP and it was fine up until yesterday when my monitors stopped displaying my footage. Im using it on a BRAND NEW asus laptop so I'm not sure what the issue is or why all of a sudden it decided not to work. I restarting my PC, reinstalled cs5 and its still the same thing. I'm working on a i7 core, 8gb ram with a nvidia geforece card, so I'm lost. Any ideas?
Also when i double click in the program monitor the frame of the clip on the timeline will show up but i won't scrub in real time; the audio will still play on both monitors, just not the video. I have quicktime installed also. Im not having this issue on my desktop either.
Thanks!

Wow, I did that and it went back to normal! but why would installing quicktime make it do that? i installed it in the first place because after effects wasn't working properly without it, ugh. Thanks for your help.

Pavilion f1703 monitor goes blank 2 seconds after start-up

When the computer is turned on, the monitor only functions for a couple of seconds before it goes blank..power light shows it to be working.
If I turn the monitor off at the front power switch, and turn it back on, the same thing happens..2 seconds of normal then blank.
In the couple of days leading up to this, the screen had a slight "flicker" effect going on.
All ideas greatly accepted!!

I am having the identical problem. I hooked this monitor that a friend gave me and it worked great for several days. There were no flickerings or any indications of a looming problem. Then it started going blank after 2 secs and continues to do that. I did see a warning about the "power saver", or something like that, was in operation. Unfortunately, I can't get it to stay on long enough to go into the menue and see if there is anything I can change there. Any help would be appreciated.

HP Omni 220-1050xt Monitor goes blank at random times and will not light up.

Recently my computer screen starting going blank without any warning. One minute it is fine and I am working away, then the screen turns black and no key sequence will bring it back. I have selected a power scheme that has never, never, never set in the categories. I also sent my screen saver to None. I took it to Staples to run a diagnostic which responded with no errors. Within 15 minutes of running, the screen was blank and the computer was unresponsive.

Hello @jlh41,
I understand that you are experiencing an issue where your HP Omni 220-1050xt Monitor is going blank without warning. I am providing you with some steps you can try below:
Step 1. Unplug the power cord from the back of the monitor and the wall
Step 2. Hold the power button down for at least one minute
Step 3. Plug the power cord back into the monitor and then into the wall outlet (not a power bar or surge protector)
Step 4. Press the Menu button on the monitor
Step 5. Navigate to the Factory Reset option and select it
Step 6. Try different cables between your computer and monitor.
If the above steps did not resolve your issue you can try the monitor on a computer or other device to see if the issue persists. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

Picture goes blank when new grad filter or brush used.

When I attempt to use a new grad filter or adjustment brush in LR3.6 the picture goes blank i.e. totally black. The history does not update and I can do no other edits until I Ctrl-Z or go to the grid pane or move to the next image. I am running on Windows 7 64 bit and I have re-installed, twice, (repaired) using the latest downloaded LR3.6 off the adobe site. I have done several integity checks which are successful and the problem occurs no matter what catalog I open, small or big. However, my LR 4 beta works perfectly!? This problem came out of the blue and the only software that I have installed on my machine recently was some Windows updates and Firetower which checks changes to my Startup processes.

I have experienced this on my old machine running Win XP with 4 GB RAM except that my picture went totally white, not black. I think it happens when LR demands more memory than what is currently available.
To alleviate the problem you could try the following:
- Increase your LR Cache size to at least 25 GB (by default it is set to 1 GB). Set Cache size in >Edit >Preferences >File handling tab.
- Increase your page file, and - if possible - set your page file (a) on a different physical drive than where your OS resides, (b) on a different physical drive where your LR catalog resides.
