Quick Time sows up with Green Screen

Green Screen pops up when I watch trailer or download movies from the apple store but the sound plays. please help. Windows xp. just downloaded quick time for christmas when I got a card for xmas, so should be latest version....

Hello Dreamazium,
I have never used this feature before but i just tested this on both my Mac Pro and MacBook Air. On both machines, as soon as the recording started, QuickTime took an enormous amount of resources to run resulting in sluggish/stuttering behavior when i show and hide the dock, open appls etc. I don't know the differences between QuickTime versions from 10.6 and 10.8 but i'm sure there have been a few.
As i am experiencing the same issue on multiple machines i doubt it is an issue with your hardware or operating system, however i do not have a solution. I use ScreenFlow which uses very little processor power and offers a nice suite of tools.
I hope another user can offer a solution to the issue, if not, try AppleCare support.

  • Only raw video can be used with green screen background?  What?

    Latest of all software.
    I have played with green screen a lot trying to make it work. The instructions say, and the only way to make it work, is to drag the background only to main time line in project pane, then drag a raw video clip from the events viewer on top of it, and choose green screen. This makes the video clip an add on to the main time line which is the back drop (like a title is an add on to a video clip).
    As I have railed in other posts, this doesn't make much sense. But the real problem is you can only drag RAW video onto the back ground from events, and can not edit it any way afterwards (since it is treated as an add on, not the main time line). You can edit the back ground, since it is in the main time line.
    The bottom line is: you cannot drag a RAW video onto the project pane, edit it and get it the way you want, and then add a back ground via the green screen. This make no sense.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Any ideas?

    Well, here is a convoluted method that seems to work...
    1) drag the raw video to the project pane, edit to your heart's content.
    2) save it as a .mov file (i.e. you are all done with it no more changes...ever).
    3) import that .mov file File, Import as a new event.
    4) drag the background(s) on to project pane, make it long enough for video
    5) drag RAV .mov file (which is really a finished edited file) on to background, choose green screen).
    You now have an edited .mov with a green screen background.
    Could green screen be implemented more poorly? It would be hard to see how.
    I still feel like I am missing something. Any ideas?

  • For some reason, even though I have advanced features checked, the menu with green screen and all those isn't popping up when I drag the video on top of another one.

    Hi
    I would trash - iMovie pref file - and re-try - sounds like this got faulty.
    • Delete iMovie pref. file. iMovie pref. file resides.
    Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD) / Users / "Your account" / Library / Preferences
    and is named. (one or more of these)
    com.apple.iMovie.plist
    com.apple.iMovie3.plist
    com.apple.iMovie7.plist
    com.apple.iMovie8.plist
    com.apple.iMovie9.plist
    com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
    and find
    com.apple.iApps.plist
    While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
    Now restart iMovie.
    If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
    ( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library (exactly like this - space included)
    Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )

  • Quick Time player cannon be opened because of a problem. Check with developer to make sure Quick Time player works with this version of Mac OS X

    "Quick Time Player cannot be opened because of a problem"  Futher noted - Check with developer to make sure Quick Time player works with this version of Mac OS X.  The player had been working fine on my iMac 24, even after upgrading to Lion. Now, nothing but this message. This involves Quick TIme Player version 10.0. Could upgrading to the 'Pro' version be worthwhile?  Can't find anything on support that comes close to answering this perplexing situation.
    Thanks,

    QuickTime Player 10.0, if that's what you have, is indeed too old for Lion which should have QuickTime Player 10.1. Check your system to see if perhaps you have two copies of QuickTime Player, something quite possible if you moved or renamed QuickTime Player before upgrading.
    Hope this helps.

  • Ghostly figure when trying to clone with green screen

    So i was messing with the green screen feature on imovie by putting two videos of myself together to get the cloning effect. The only problem is that when i do this my other self looks ghostly. he seems to be transparent into the other video. So i looked up online how to fix this and people said to swap the videos but this also didnt help. now the other video looks ghostly and transparent into the other video. i also rerecorded it multiple times with the same effect. to record this i am using my isight on my macbook pro. is there a way to make the videos more solid and not bleed or be transparent into each other? and yes i did crop it and one of the videos were still ghostly looking.

    When cloning and putting two figures side by side you do not need a green screen. there are many videos of people doing it on youtube without a green screen

  • Can't get quick time to work with windows thumbnail

    When I purchased a new camera, unlike my old camera that saved files as .avi and which allowed me to use the files with all software and which allowed me to view automatically the thumbnails for the .avi file, my new camera used the garbage .mov from apple. Result: i can't see what the files contains... NO thumbnails in windows! I was told to buy QUick time Pro to be apple to do this. I did what the quicktime "help" (misnomer) said to do: set poster frame, resave the file (try to save it as is, or as quick time mover). THIS DIDN'T WORKED. There was Ø supplementary information. The only thing that works is MANUALLY converting all my .mov from the camera to .avi using quicktime pro. I paid CAD$39 FOR absolutely NOTHING. Any suggestions?

    Please review the "stickied" threads near the top of this board, about syncing with Windows 7 and Vista.  It's all there. 
    After you've been through and tried everything there is to try, and still have problems, please post back with specific info about exactly what you've tried, what version of Windows 7 you have (32-bit or 64-bit), etc.

  • Editing quick time movie clips with sound

    We are editing together some quick time movie clips but we can't get the sound to come up.
    Is there something we are doing wrong? Can you split the voice from the visual when you bring these clips into Final Cut?

    A QuickTime movie can be made from any number of codecs. Which one are you working with?
    If it's an MPEG video, chances are it will need to be demuxed. You can use MPEG Streamclip for this and other conversions.

  • Help with green screen on videos

    There must be some bug in the HP laptops that causes so many complaints about the green screen. I had to reinstall my system because there was some problem that my anti virus and malwarebytes couldn't fix. So, low and behold the old green screen on videos reappeared. I tried a former solution given to me by one of HP techs on here. I went to tools, internet options, advanced and then clicked on Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering. Wasn't working. So I download HP Support assistant. In the search I put Green screen on videos. The only thing that came up was to fix a video card. I don't have a video card. I looked at the suggestion on the forum to update Flash player. I got the message that Flash  player is installed with 8.1 so not install for it.  I realize a great deal of problems are caused by Microsoft negligent creation of 8.1 but hopefully the HP techs can do a better job of addressing this. BTW don'l look forward to updating to Windows 10 if you are paying for an extended warrenty. Microsoft say's if you upgrade to Windows 10 from Windows 8 or 8.1, you warrenty is invalidated. 

    Hi,
    Please perform a clean install Flash Player first:

  • Can Final Cut Express 3.5 work with green screen video?

    Forgive my lack of technical terms but I am interested in my next FCE project being a bit more technical with some animations done in front of a green screen. Can FCE "erase" the green so I can overlay it to another background and or movie?
    Cheers,
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hi Lori.
    In case you need some more practical advice:-
    FCE has several different filters built in for Green and Blue Screen work.
    FCE can also be used for animation and compositing.

  • Working with green screen in FCP

    Any clue why I'm having so much trouble? I'm trying to key out green screen in more than one layer.
    I shot HD footage at 1080i30p. I have live characters on green screen layered over still psd backdrops.
    Seems simple but the process seems extra slow and very glitchy.
    One or two keyed layers sort of works, more than that is slow as mud or causes crashes.
    Sometimes even one layer over a still backdrop will show a smear streaking defect.
    Any help doing this type of compositing without having to learn Shake or After effects?

    Keep in mind that the most important part of keying happens in production. If the lighting is not perfect, meaning none of the key light should spill onto the green screen, and the proportions of light from foreground to background, and the evenness of the background light: keying will be difficult.
    To help yourself out, use garbage mattes to crop out any area that does not have action in it. That way you won't have to worry about pulling a perfect key for areas of your footage that don't matter. Only be concerned with the pixels just around your subject(s). You will not be able to do this well in FCP> Remember that FCP is an editing system, not compositing. Just because it CAN composite, doesn't mean that it SHOULD composite.
    In Motion you can keyframe infinite points to your masks and you can use trackers to follow your subject(s) so you don't have to set manual keyframes.
    I am sure you were looking for an easy answer, but unfortunately keying and copositing are not easy tasks.
    Hope this helps.

  • Backgrounds in Final Cut Pro for use with green screens

    I have a class that has filmed some people talking in front of a green screen and now they are looking for a background of an awards ceremony or something close to that. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    All you need to do is get yourself a camera, set up something like a ceremony with the aid of your kids (ask them to maximize the use of their wardrobe and props and to invite friends if number is an issue) shoot a few wide shots, then use those shots as BG, blurring them slightly.
    The advantage of doing this is that you can use/set lights properly in order to match your talking heads video shot with a green screen as BG (People talking).

    Experimental advice (in this particular context) coming up.
    Open your QuickTime control panel (either via the Control panels, or by going "Edit > Preferences > QuickTime Preferences" in the Quicktime Player). In the Advanced tab, uncheck Enable Direct3D video acceleration:
    ... and click OK. Quit and restart the QuickTime Player prior to checking to see if the settings change has had any effect.
