Quicktime BUG Green line appears at bottom of movs on MAC not WINDOWS

HELP!
I've started to notice that a bright green line appears at the bottom of my movies. I import them into Macromedia Director and they still show, but after publising my projector for windows and viewing on a PC they disapear.
Problems mainly on MAC but not i've had reports of problems of the weird green line on another PC.
can anybody help?
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Open the movie in QuickTime Player. Pull down the Window menu and select "Show Movie Info". What is listed in the "Format" field?
In that same window, is there a difference between "Normal Size" and "Current Size"? (You might also compare that size to the size shown on the Windows computer which does not display the green line.)
What is the extension on the filename (.mov, .avi, .mpg etc.) ?
Pull down the Window menu and select "Show Movie Properties" what tracks do you see listed?

Thin green line at the bottom of my QT exports from FCP

Hello,
I have exported a series of QT vids from FCP. Each QT video file exhibits a thin (2 px)green line at the bottom of the player window. I can't seem to narrow down what is making this line appear. Can you please offer some suggestions? Remedies?
Thanks so much in advance.
Utilizing:
Quicktime Conversion
optimized for broadband Large
H.264 codec for HD footage
Custom 660x377 frame size (varied to see if that would fix the issue, did not)

So you only see it in QT Fullscreen mode?
The reason I'm pressing this is that I've seen green lines LIKE this with issues resulting from what seems like a very hot video card.
Usually they 1) aren't that crisp and 2) don't always show up each time you view it.
And this is AFTER compression, yes? For sure this isn't on the original material? Make sure you set your canvas in FCP to 100% size to see all of the lines.

I am getting a weird green line at the bottom of my screen...

I am trying to burn a DVD in iDVD.
I keep getting a green line at the bottom of the screen. I tried "squaring" the pixels before outputting the project, but I didn't render the project this way in FCP before trying that.
Could that be the problem?
I also tried buring at 1x.
Any help would help!
Thank you,
Evan Jacobs

Well to answer the questions. This artifact is in fact a physical one because you can see it when you boot the Mac and sign in with a different profile. I decided to test my luck at the local Apple Store just to see what they said. They looked at the display for about 3 minutes and then said that it would be nearly 700 bucks for parts and labor to basically put a new display on my laptop. He said that since its a TFT screen chances are on of the layers within the screen are messed up hence I see this black line. I decided Im going to look elsewhere and see if I can't find a solution here. If worse comes to worse, then I'll live with it till the Pro Book is out and get that with Apple care.

It looks like an unstyled background in your frameset. You'd
be better
off ftp'ing to your .co.uk domain rather then importing the
page from
ntl world.

When capturing video; how do I get rid of the green lines at the bottom of the frame?

When capturing video; How do I get rid of the green lines at the bottom of the frame?

s.haider
You have Canon ZR950 mini DV Camcorder, why not make a firewire connection and do DV data capture into the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Capture Window?
Do you have any reference for what you are attempting to do or is this a creation of your own? Could you confirm what you describe as "just capturing video".
a. From your information, you are doing Get Media/Webcam or WDM Device with the Capture Window showing the Capturing Device as "Dazzle DVD 100 Video Device". What type of connection are you making between the Canon ZR950 and the Dazzle DVD 100 and the computer?
b. What exactly do you expect to be putting on the Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 Timeline from this capture...DV AVI or something else?
Coming from the perspective of Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 known issues, I would ask you to consider:
a. Remove the check mark next to AutoAnalyzer in the Capture window. Even if you were doing this Capture the "usual way", that is highly recommended.
b. Go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and compare your results with and without a check mark next to enable GPU playback. As a cross reference, please go to Edit Header/Effects/Video Effects and detemine if there is a category of Effects named GPU Effects. Do the same thing for Edit Header/Transitions/Video Transitions and determine if there is a category of Transitions named GPU Transitions.
And, the general drill for all users of Premiere Elements 8.0
a. Are you working with the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer Features turned Off?
See Premiere Elements workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/General for background rendering option and Elements Organizer workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalzyer Options for AutoAnalzyer options.
b. Are you working from the 8.0.1 Update version of the program?
Please consider.
We will be watching for the outcome.
Thank you.

Geen line appears at bottom of MP4s at 720x486

One of the stations which airs our programs specs requires 720x486 as an MOV, MPEG2 or MP4. But as you see in the attached screen print, there is a green line at the bottom of the video. Yes, it’s airable because the green line would be way out of action safe and would not be viewable on anyone’s television, but the station doesn't like it and it bothers me that I can't find a way around it. Even with me stretching the video on a 486 sequence and exporting it as 486, the line still shows up on the MP4. I would export an MPEG2, but I cannot export an MPEG2 at 486 with a 29.97 frame rate which is also required. I would export it as an MOV, but the file size will be about 10 times larger and will be a problem for delivery.
As I told the station, it this seems to be a lot of effort over something that won’t be viewable on anyone’s television sets, and I said I'm willing to work with them if they have any ideas. I wondered if you have any suggestions here as well.

our programs specs requires 720x486
That's unfortunate, because that is almost certainly the cause of the green line.
MPEG codecs work best when the dimensions are evenly divisible by 8. I bet if you went to 488 or 480, that line would go away.

White lines appear on videos since my new Mac Pro - Why?

Hello,
I'm the happy owner of a Mac Pro 2,7 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon E5 / 64 gig RAM / 2X AMD FirePro D700 6144 Mo running on OS X 10.9.3 (13D65).
I'm using CC latest version but also Red Giant Magic Bullet LOOKS to color grade my videos (on an adjustment layer). I have 3 HDD (1 SSD in the computer with the programs + 1 external (Thunderbold) G-RAID for cache files + 1 external Pegasus R6 2 (Thunderbolt 2) for the footage).
Sometimes, when reading (but more often when exporting in Media Encoder) white lines appear on the video (see image below). Why?
Is that a Premiere problem? Is something going wrong with my Mac? I have already reinstalled everything from scratch but the problem remains...
I was working with the same programs on my previous iMac and I didn't have this problem.
Any idea ?

Is it an Adobe or a Mac Pro 2013 related problem? Does everyone using the GPU acceleration have the same problem?
So far, it appears to be an issue with OS X 10.9.2 and up. Some folks that are beta testing 10.9.4 have reported that the strange artifacts no longer appear while using Hardware mode, but a few folks are still having Premiere crashes with it. My suspicion is that we're seeing two separate problems with Premiere on the new Mac Pro when using Hardware mode: 1) artifacts, lines, etc on exports and 2) application crashes. Neither of these appear to happen when Pr and AME are put into Software mode. Given the commonality of the problems (using GPUs on the new Mac Pro) some folks seem to think they're directly related. My gut tells me they aren't.
The challenge for the folks at Adobe and other third party app developers is that the boys (and girls) in Cupertino are changing things within OS X a bit too quickly, for better, for worse. Some of these changes are what I call "ninja patches" where they don't really explain what they're changing or why. I strongly suspect that's what's going on here. They sneaked something into OS X 10.9.2 and haven't un-sneaked it yet. Folks are strongly encouraging Adobe to address this issue pronto, but if Cupertino keeps altering the guts of the OS, how can they?

Why are white lines appearing in images in PDF files but not the original InDesign files?

Hi folks!
Let me just start out by saying that I'm not a graphic designer and have basically no experience with graphic design programs, aside from the little futzing around I've tried to do with InDesign. My company (which publishes a monthly magazine) has decided that it would be a great idea to get the files to our magazine from the graphic design firm that actually handles the production end of things so that we may offer back articles, etc., and modify them as needed. Somehow I've gotten assigned the task of handling this. However, I've encountered some problems along the way. The graphic design firm uses Quark, we own InDesign (CS3) and use Markzware to convert the files. Most things seem to work okay in this arrangement but I'm having problems with the images in the file when I create PDFs. Although the images look fine in the InDesign files (and are of print quality), when I create PDFs of some files, thin white lines appear over the images in the PDF document. I asked our graphic designer about this but she has no idea, and she isn't very familiar with InDesign.
So, my question is, where are these lines coming from and how do I stop them from appearing? As a reminder, I'm not a graphic designer and am fdairly ignorant in design software terminology. If you're kind enough to try to help me with this problem, I'm going to require an explanation in plain English. Basically explain it to me like you would to a 10 year old.
If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance,
Lynn

I think Bob was typing too fast and meant to ask if you were distilling, not to tell you distill.
Distilled PDF (you get distilled by printing to PDF rather than exporting) always flattens transparency, which is what makes those white "stitching" lines.
You can make the stitching disappear on screen by turning off smoothing in the Acrobat prefs, and it shouldn't print on a press, but it sounds like you may be doing the output on a digital machine and it's likely to show on the lower resolution output.

Little red line appearing at bottom of 2 clips dropped onto my timeline

This isn't a clip that isn't yet rendered. Rather it's a line that appears at the bottom of the clip but only from the first frame till about half way through the length of the clip and it also has four little white rectangals at the start of the red line. It plays fine on the timeline, doesn't need rendering (if you do, it is still there) but I have never seen this before and wondered what the significance is or what it indicates?
thanks

it's showing you instances of using the same media in your sequence. you've enabled Show Duplicate Frames in the Timeline Options of your User Preferences.
time to get out the manual and read about your user interface.

When I watch Youtube Videos, it's like to half parts of the video and green lines at the bottom, cannot click on settings either, works fine with IE, problem with Flash? Tried to uninstall, still won't work

Help anyone?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

Jazzy lines appearing just prior to login on Mac Mini

I just restarted my Mac mini (for no reason other than to give it a reboot) and I noticed a strange selection of varying jazzy lines, which flashed just prior to the login screen, the screen then cleared & my login screen was displayed. I could log in OK and everything was fine after login... so far anyways. I have posted a screen shot which I managed to capture using my Iphone.
Has anyone had this problem, should I be worried and if yes, how can I/do I need to fix it before it gets worse?
Cheers
Sue

The image is not displayed for me. This forum has problems displaying images sometimes.
I have occasionally seen strange lines/graphics on my Mac before the login screen. I would not be concerned unless you have other problems.

Illustrator - Erase a straight line (Mac not windows).

Green line on movies bottom when converted with H264/MPEG4 codecs-HELP PL!

Hi all,
Every time I convert movies from any Quicktime-readable format to .mov format (including .mov to .mov), the resulting movie has a (horrendous) *green line* on the bottom.
This happen only when I use Quicktime Pro. No other application give me this bad result.
As only one of many examples you can see in this screenshot a movie (right) made using iShowU with "Apple none" codec, which means that is totally uncompressed.
To reduce the size I have used QT with H264 codec. The result is (always) that green line (left).
No matter if I change the movie size or crop it. After all when I export it to save, the green line will be there again.
Could somebody please help me with this issue?

*Thank you very much.*

Thank you David.
Did work!
I also read the post you suggested.
My original video was 426x175 and I changed it in the export properties to 426x 174 . One (1) pixel smaller, and voila!
Doing this and reading that post doesn't match with Apple's straight forward style.
Imagine if you have a stubborn movie because of its dimensions?
I felt like doing medieval engineering.
Thanks a lot again, David.

Media Encoder adds thin green line on FLVs

I am using Adobe Media Encoder CS5 to convert .mov files to .flv files. When I render the files a thin (~2 px) green line appears on the bottom of the video.
When I used Media Encoder to format into F4V the line does not appear. See image below for example. Both files were encoded using the same Instance of Media Encoder and the same source file.
Things I have tried
I have tried encoding without resizing the video (Native 902x507)
I have tried resizing to make sure video dimensions are divisible by 4 (904x508)
I have used both CBR and VBR have same effect
I have changed bitrate to higher with same effect
Note:
The source video does not have the green line
System: Windows 7 64x - 8GB RAM
Source video
format:*.MOV, codec:H.264, size:902x507, framerate: 29.97 fps, Data rate: 6.82 mbits/sec
Any suggestions on how to remove this?

I set up some quick tests and found that yes, transcoding a 902x507 H.264-encoded QuickTime file to FLV with AME 5.0.2 causes a green horizontal line. It occurs at line 507, but doesn't go all the way across. If I use the Crop option to trim off the bottom pixel of the source, the green line still occurs, but this time at line 505. The difference is due to the scaling that AME is adding to the render process when Crop is turned on.
A little sleuthing reveals:
1) A 902x507 QuickTime file encoded with the Animation codec does not cause this problem. This tells me the cause of the problem is in the H.264 decode, not the FLV encode. It probably doesn't show up in the F4V encode because F4V is H.264 with a Flash wrapper, thus not much transcoding is actually being done. Transcoding to other formats has the same problem, though.
2) The output dimensions of the FLV are 912x512. This is despite that AME shows the settings for the export as 902x508 (or 902x506 with the pixel trimmed from the bottom). The FLV exporter appears to be rounding up to the nearest value that is evenly divisible by 16. This is a bug, but has already fixed for a future release of AME.
I had success using the Crop option to trim the size of the source file to 896x496 (the next multiple of 16 down). Take 3 pixels off both the left and right, 6 pixels off the top, and 5 pixels off the bottom. I did not have success by changing the output dimensions directly to 896x496; this is because resizing doesn't trim pixels, it pads where necessary and retains all source pixels, including the "bad", odd-numbered line that is causing the problem. Trimming them via crop is the only way to avoid having AME attempt to transcode those pixels.
Otherwise, I recommend you work around the problem by:
A) Going back to the media source and exporting a file that doesn't have an odd-numbered dimension.
B) Transcoding the file in another application to a different format (ex.: QuickTime with a different codec) or a non-odd-numbered dimension before using AME to transcode the file to FLV.
I am curious- what is the source of this QuickTime file, and why 902x507? Those are unusual dimensions.

Green line on right edge

I have a bright green line appearing along the right side of the movie in the DVD presentation. I have read over other people similar problems in this forum but none of their solutions worked for me.
I am creating a slideshow in iphoto, using non-DRM music from itunes, and putting it together in iDVD. But once the movie burned onto a disk a green line appears on the right side. I have tried trimming the size of the movie in quicktime. I have tried setting the quality to professional in iDVD. I even restarted the iDVD project and still, every time, I find a bright green boarder on the right.
What else can I do to get rid of it? I have wasted some 10 DVDs on this and the money for registering quicktime but still no solution. Thank you.

Aspect may be a hair off. I'm thinking you might get better results with with 854 x 480 (assuming you are working with widescreen / ntsc format).
To quote iDvd's Help Menu:
About resizing images for menu backgrounds
You can use images to create backgrounds for menus. iDVD works with most image formats supported by QuickTime (including JPEG, TIFF, and PDF).
Images in a menu background are automatically cropped to fit the standard DVD window size, but the aspect ratio of the original image is preserved. For example, a picture taken vertically (also known as “portrait format”) may appear with black bands on either side of it to fill out the screen. If you want an image to fit the DVD window exactly, use an image-editing application to resize the image before bringing it into iDVD. Resize to these dimensions:
◼
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
◼
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format
◼
768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format
◼
1024 x 576 pixels for widescreen in PAL format
Preparing images for iDVD slideshows
You can use photos, movies, presentation slides (created in a program such as Keynote), or other image files in a slideshow created in iDVD. iDVD works with any image file that is supported by QuickTime (including PICT, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF.) You can also use photos directly from your iPhoto library.
Images and movies in a slideshow are scaled to fit the standard DVD window size, but the aspect ratio is preserved. For example, a picture taken vertically (also known as “portrait format”) may have black bands on either side of it to fill out the screen. If you want an image to fit the DVD window exactly, use an image-editing application to resize the image before bringing it into iDVD. (It is not possible to resize movies.) Resize to these dimensions:
◼
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
◼
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format
◼
768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format
◼
1024 x 576 pixels for widescreen in PAL format
You can also make sure images in iDVD are always scaled to a size that will fit within the area visible on most TV screens, or the “TV safe area.”
To fit slides into the TV safe area:
Choose iDVD > Preferences.
Click Slideshow.
Select the checkbox labeled “Always scale slides to TV Safe Area.”
