Really annoying flickering after export!

Hey Guys.
I've recently been trying to make videos using iMovie. I have a HDPVR capture card which enables me to record footage of my xbox 360. I use a program called HDPVRCAPTURE to record my footage.
The problem lies with iMovie, my clips are fine when I import them into the program, they are also fine when I edit them in the preview window. As soon as i've finished exporting the video the problems start to occur, there is horrendous flickering which is not unnoticeable, it is really annoying.
How can I fix this?
Also I have tried numerous ways of exporting by using quicktime, and also by sharing straight to youtube.

Unfortunately I can't change the video source to 25 fps, the reason for this is unknown, I spoke to a customer support person and he told me that it automatically detects the video signal detection which is 1920x1080 being displayed at 30 fps.
This is coming from my xbox which is PAL, and I am playing a PAL game, all very confusing.

Flickering after export

Hi, i have some flickering troubles after export in several videos i made.
These videos are quite easy, short and with a few effects. Generally they are made with ten video tracks and only 1 audio track.
These flickerings appear randomly in the video output, despite the preview was great. Normally the flickering appears not in the transitions between two video tracks, but inside one.
Actually i found a "solution": i cancel the video track with the flickering from the timeline and replace it from the video list. After this move, the export often doesn't go wrong, but this seems more a matter of luck than a final solution.
So, can anyone help me?
Here i report some data about my work.
I have a small videocamera that records in fullhd at 25fps and i use premiere cs4.
Input: avchd 1080p25, progressive
Output: h.264 - ntsc - 1280x720 - 25fps - progressive - vbr 1 - bitrate 6 mbps - max 9 - high profile - level 4,1
Unfortunately i haven't a high performance pc: i5-3450, 3.1 ghz; ram 8 gb; nvidia geforce gt 640, 2 gb.
Thanks, Simon!

Annoying problem after exporting to itunes

Hi all,
After exporting edited music files into itunes from garageband, there is a few seconds of silence at the end of each file. This is annoying to me because I like my music to change immediately after the last note has been played... Any ideas on how to fix this problem/limitation?
Please note, the files were originally MP3's that I ripped from my personal CD collection. I do not have crossfade playback enabled in itunes.
Thanks in advance,
rawbertow789
P.S. I searched the forums before posting this, but I could have missed something.

Oh, man. This is the greatest!
I have had a bunch of songs that have had front and back end silence or other crap that I wanted out and the way I did it was to export the whole thing to Itunes, then open that file in CD spin Doctor, create a track in that cutting the unwanted part(s), then re-save, then delete the original imported songs in Itunes....a very round about and time consuming way to do this.
I have seen this option, but to me it seemed like the only function was to just repeat the GB song over again. It never occured to me that you could select a "section" and export that.
This is terrific
Thanks.

Video flickering after export

Hey Guys,
I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro ever since CS4 came out and this is the first time that I've came across this particular issue. Up until last week I was still using CS6 on my 2011 Macbook Pro. Three days ago I went and purchased a brand new 2014 15 inch Macbook Pro and downloaded the Premiere Pro CC Trial on it. I was loving everything about CC until I exported my first project. Half of the clips were flickering so I matched each flickering clip to the timeline and noticed that the only clips that were flickering were the clips that I had nested.
This is what I'm experiencing :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzfOA2WJFXU&feature=youtu.be
I've tried exporting in different formats, but I really want to export in .h264
This may sound stupid, but is it because it's the trial version?
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I talked with customer support. They suggested that the bug is a result of how I encoded the video in VirtualDub. I used Xvid MPEG-4 codec, and the representative suggested I use a format that is generally more compatible such as H.264 or QuickTime Animation (RLE).
I redid the the conversion with VirtualDub, this time using x264. Unfortunately, this simply introduced new issues when I tried to edit the video.
Interestingly enough, the issue shows up in the preview this time.
I don't know why there are still issues. I would try QuickTime Animation, but I don't know of any free software that would let me perform a conversion. Does anyone know why this happens? If not, does anyone know what software I could try to transcode the video?

After exporting in Premier Pro CS6 my text flickers in the video

After exporting in Premier Pro CS6 my text flickers in the video, how do I fix it?

I have the exact same problem, but I'm actually using CC. I don't have an option for "match source high bitrate." Is anyone responding to forum questions out there?

hi Allan,
Can't make or receive any calls. When making a call, you see the thing dialing but no tone, it rings at he other end however. When somebody trying to call me, it does not ring at my end. If you try to end the call, the phone page will just freeze, when you exit the phone page to go try the MP3 player for example, and come back, the phone is still trying to end the previous call. I tried resetting the network settings, turn the phone off and on , no difference at all. It's easter Sunday, everything is closed here in Montreal.

Im just really annoyed. I turned off my data when I barely went over at 4.004 before I went to bed. I just recently checked it to make sure it wasnt using data, But it had gone up to 4.037, after my data had been turned off. So I want to know what the d

IMovie creates weird frame flickering on export only -- please help!!

Hello iMovie experts.. Need your advise!!!!!
I've been using iMovie 11 for some time now... Had no issues... All of a sudden a few days ago,
after I already burnt a disk, i noticed blinking in the clip where I had a 'Dream' video effect...
I opened the exported mov file, and the blinking is there.... So I went to the project, no issues, - the clip that
has the effect plays good, no 'flickering'..
As soon as I export it -- on the clip where i apply a video effect, every second or so I see a black frame, or the blurred frame, or a frame as if the
effect wasn’t applied to that clip.......
I tried exporting via almost everything... Export Movie, Export to QuickTime (no compressions, mp4, h264, etc), ... same thing
is happening over and over... I tried removing the Preference file from User\Library\Preferences file, but it did not help..
I also tried duplicating a project. What happened was, the problem did not go away, but on top of that, it created about
10 minutes of black video towards the end of the movie...... ?!?!?!?!?!
I also removed Flip4Mac and Divx components... no luck...
Can anyone suggest anything please?? thanks!
Running latest Snow Leopard update...

You know, i optimized a video once, and it was very jerky when it played at about 40% speed (slow-motion), vs. when I import non-optimized..
I dont want to jump the gun yet, as the below doesnt really make sense, at least to me, BUT......
What I noticed is that the flickering of the clips with applied effects only happens when there an opening
transition in the very beginning of the project.. I placed a "fade-in" transition in the beginning so that the video fades in as it starts.... As soon as i removed it.. it exports fine, no flickering, no nothing, back to normal..
.... I also tried a few new small projects with and without the transition in the beginning and I would get the same pattern after export: with a trans in the beginning of the clip with video effect, -- it would blink after being exported.. As soon as beginning trans removed -- back to normal.. I know... i doesnt make sense...
I wonder if you can produce this:
[fade in trans] [normal clip] [clip with Dream effect] [some other trans] [clip with some other Effect]
and
[normal clip] [clip with Dream effect] [some other trans] [clip with some other Effect]
Thoughts?? I am scratching my head now!

Screen flickering after 10.6.3 update

Hi,
Am using a Samsung 22" SyncMaster monitor with my 2009 Mac Mini connected via VGA with resolution 1680 x 1050 at 60Hz and after 10.6.3 update the screen flickers allowing me to see the desktop for around 1-2 seconds. Its really annoying but the only way to get rid of it is if i change the resolution to 1600 x 1000 also at 60 Hz but everything is blurry!
I checked the monitor manual and its recommended resolution is 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz.
Does anyone else have this issue and is there a fix?!
Thank you.

Yes, I have the exact same problem.
I had this problem in 10.5.X as well. When I updated to Snow Leopard this went away. Now with 10.6.3 it is back again.
I worked around this problem in 10.5 by installing switchResX and playing around with the settings for the monitor... I haven't tried that in 10.6.3 yet.
I hope Apple fixes this soon. Being forced to use 3rd party software just to use the mac is unacceptable.

Monitor is flickering after upgrading to Mavericks

Hi eveyone,
As many of you already did, today I've upgraded my MacBook Pro i5 2.5 GHz/8GB RAM from Mountain Lion (10.8.5) to Mavericks (10.9).
Unfortunately, I'm experiencing serious and unpleasant issues since I installed the upgrade.
Specifically, my monitor flickers almost every time I scroll an application window (e.g., Safari) either using an USB mouse or the trackpad.
Moreover, when I pass the mouse over the Dock, this starts vibrating from time to time.
The same happens also to the external monitor I usually connect to my laptop via the MiniDisplay to VGA cable. The external monitor is an LCD Samsung SyncMaster B1940MR.
After several reboots and given that one of the new features of Mavericks is the new management of external monitors, I've tried to re-install from scratch the OS X upgrade without connecting my laptop to the external LCD but still nothing has changed.
I'm really annoyed by having both monitors flickering. Another particular thing is that if I try to click on the Finder menu appearing on the external monitor, this makes flicker the primary monitor approximately at the same coordinates (i.e., at the Finder menu of the laptop monitor).
It seems like something is going wrong with the video card drivers but this is just my conjecture.
Are you guys experiencing the same or is there anything you might want to suggest to solve these issues?
Thank you in advance

Iv upgraded to maverick and not at all happy... first off my thunderbolt does not work any more....
And now the apple monitor im using with my laptop (macbook pro I7 2.2ghz / 8gb ram / AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB) via mini dvi flash's to a black screen every now and then...
Im not sure about the monitor flickers you guys are getting? Im literally getting the monitor display a black screen as if the apple screen is switching off and on again because of loss of signal?
Really anoying when trying to right code and design!
APPLE FIX THIS PLEASE! before i download adobe suite for my windows 8 partition!! and yes i just said that! >_<

I'm getting really annoyed with the Mac.

Don't mean to offend geniune Mac fans here, but I'm just getting really annoyed with the Mac.
I purchased my Mac mini (late 2012) in May of 2013 - so it's about 4 months old. I don't have a lot of software on it, mainly the Adobe Creative Suite, and development tools (Xcode, and web development software).
The mini has this annoyance where, every so often it just freezes. It usually happens during when the screensaver is running, or when the monitor goes into standby and I try to wake it up. First the screensaver runs for 15 minutes. Sometimes it happens (it's random) that the screensaver "stalls" and the mac freezes. If it "survives" the screensaver, then after 15 minutes my monitor goes into standby mode. Sometimes when I wake up the monitor, I get the login window, I log in, and then I find that the Mac just froze.
A few days ago I've updated to 10.8.5. Now these freezes are happening more often. The mac freezes just whenever, regardless of screensaver or not. There was a time when I had ReadKit running, displaying an article. I went to the kitchen, when I came back the mini was frozen as ice. No other program was running (I mean program that I started).
Other times I had Chrome open at youtube. It was not playing a video. The browser was just "parking" at youtube's home page. Same thing. I go away, come back, the mini was frozen.
Yet just a few days ago, I had no user started application running. None. I leave the mini alone for a short while, come back, and I find the fan was running like crazy. The mac was not hot at all, but the fan went bonkers. It was loud and pumping air out for no reason.
At these times I can't do anything. Sometimes I can move the window, or move icons on the desktop, but I cannot force quit an app, neither I can start one. So things like going to the apps folder and starting terminal or activity monitor is not possible. I cannot select menu items from the Finder (or any other application) menus, so I can't restart or shut down the mac. The only thing I can do at these times is hold the power button for a few seconds to force the mac to shut down.
I'm coming from Windows. I built and upgraded my PC a few times in the past 7-8 years with newer and faster MOBOs, processors, memory, etc. I never had a bad component; I never had a blue screen; I never had my PC hang; I have never encountered any issues that would make my PC hang or froze or otherwise. I never had to troubleshoot software or hardware problems because they were/are just non existent. I'm not trying to start a war here about PCs and Macs. I'm completely natural.
But here I am with this "thing" that supposed to be so great and trouble free. I have already reinstalled the OS once during this 4 month old mac, but now it seems I have to do it again because ever since 10.8.5 things has gotten worse. This is really N-O-T what I expected from a Mac. I am just really annoyed, frustrated and everything else.
I was browsing these support forums and tried/looked at a couple of diagnostic steps, but none helped so far. I will attempt to reinstall the OS A-G-A-I-N over the weekend. If that doesn't help, then I will have to put this junk into the garbage can. (Well, figuratively speaking of course.)
Mac mini late 2012
OS X 10.8.5
i7 2.6 GHz 8G
Samsung S27B970 display via DisplayPort
Apple extended wired keyboard
Logitech LS1 laser mouse
No other peripherials

Hey thanks for the feedback woodmeister! No, I was not aware of the hardware diagnostics!
So I have eagerly followed the isntructions, but I quickly found out what I have already experienced looking at other Apple "unhelpful" documentation. When I was referring in my OP that I've looked at other resources, the problem was that those "un-support" documents were out of date and the article indicated that Apple has retired them.
Now as far as the link that you sent (and the same can be found in the Help section of OS X as well, wasn't helpful either. Why?
In the document the bullets are as follows:
If you have a new Mac (mid-2013 or later), use Apple Diagnostics, which is built into your Mac.
If your Mac has OS X v10.8.3 or earlier, use Apple Hardware Test, which is built into your Mac.
If you updated your Mac to OS X v10.8.4 or later, use the system software disc or USB flash drive that came with your Mac.
Let's start with bullet #1. As far as I know (and correct me if I'm wrong) but I'm not aware of mid-2013 Mac minis. Mine is late 2012, so I guess I don't fit into bullet #1.
Bullet #2. I have OS X 10.8.5 so it means I don't fit into that bullet either.
Bullet #3. Yes, I did update to 10.8.4 or later (using 10.8.5) but neither a software disc nor a USB flash drive came with the Mac mini late 2012 model.
So what now? Another great "support" document that is confusing and/or not helpful. Nevertheless, I did give it a try. Disconnected my ethernet cable, hold down D, and rebooted. I get a "Choose Network Connection" drop down on the gray screen where I'm supposed to choose a Wi-Fi network. Why? This has not been mentioned in the docs. My Wi-Fi is disabled because I'm connecting through cable.
So I reconnected the cable. As soon as I did that, I got the message that ... let's see... my memory is failing me... the recovery mode or reinstalling the OS will begin... or something along that line. There was NO ANY INDICATION about any hardware test or diagnostics!
See, what I mean about frustration...?

How can I eliminate a green rectangle showing up after exporting?

After exporting in FCP and viewing in Quicktime, a green rectangle on the right side of the Quicktime window is showing up for about 1 second at a point where there is black between two clips with fade in/out transitions. There is a slug there which I thought might have something to do with it. I tried deleting the slug but the green rectangle persists. Can anybody help me eliminate this green monster?

Nick-- Thanks so much for your reply.
CODEC is H.264.
In Sequence Settings I have the Quicktime Video Settings Compressor set to HDV 1080i60.
After rendering and saving the sequence, I click
File >
Export >
Using Quicktime Conversion. After window opens to save the file
Format: Quicktime Movie
Use: Most Recent Settings
I click "Options" >
Settings, I choose H.264, then click OK (the green rectangle appears regardless of quality setting (I tried 2 kinds: Best and Hight), (also, encoding doesn't matter, either. I tried Multi-pass and Single-Pass)
Click Size, choose NTSC 720 x 480 16:9 (using this just for a smaller file to FTP to show progress)
I then uncheck Sound and Prepare for Internet Streaming (no soundtrack on this yet), then click OK
I then click Save.
As I mentioned I tried it several different ways and each time the green rectangle shows up. I am nearing the end of this project and this is really becoming a problem. I hope you can help eliminate it. If you would like to see it I can email a small few second clip that will show it.
Thank you again--

Colors washed out in lightroom but not after export

I'm new to Lighroom and don't really have a workflow sorted out. I'm shooting with a Canon 30D and shooting Raw+Jpeg until I learn enough to confidently handle raw files. If I adjust the images in lightroom so that they don't appear lifeless and grey by adding lots of saturation, when I export to jpeg and then view with windows picture viewer to see what the images would look like on Zenfolio in SRGB they are grossly over saturated and clownish. My monitor(Dell 2005FPW) is not calibrated with a calibrator but I am using the adobe prophoto icc profile in an effort to have some color management as I understand that is what Lightroom/CS3 uses. I'm not printing yet but hope to some day, for now I'd just like to upload some photo's to Zenfolio and share with friends and family but as it sits Lightroom is totally unusable as I have to guess what it will look like after export. I'm certain it's something I'm doing wrong or missing and I'm hoping someone can tell me what that is. Thanks in advance, Veet

Thanks for all the replies, I was beginning to think I was on my own,I'm very happy this thread finally came to life. I did use an adobe Monitor profile (Prophoto) as I thought that was the color space used by LR and had read in some other thread that I should use it. I tried using my supplied profile (2005fpw.icm) and I get an error message from Photoshop stating "The Monitor profile"Dell 2005FPW color profile" appears to be defective please rerun your monitors calibration software. I then have the option to ignore the profile or to use it anyways. I actually stumbled accross the huelight ACR's and tried them out but that didn't help. Photoshop has the same bland lifeless look as LR does. I d/l a trial of Elements 5 and it was also the same so it's adobe across the board. Color space and color management are totally new concepts for me
so I'm really at a disadvantage trying to trouble shoot this, I can bandy these terms about, but I suspect I don't really grok them fully as of yet. I'll be happy when I finally get my monitor calibrated, I understand now that it won't be a magic "fix all" :( but at least I'll have a solid point to begin building a color managed system. Other Raw converters don't seem to have this problem but as I am just now developing my workflow I'd like to master one program and I think I'd like that to be LR as it seems to be the one that encompasses the entire workflow ie. rating,cataloging,flagging ect. and I feel it would probably mesh best with Photoshop which I also plan to learn/use. I'm feeling pretty stuck and not very inspired to shoot atm as the exposures just keep piling up and aren't being integrated or dealt with appropriately. I don't have auto tone checked off and I'll see if I can track down an updated driver/profile for my monitor, one which isn't "defective" as Adobe puts it. Thank you for all the replies, I will get this resolved eventually and any help you guys can give me is more than appreciated.
A few questions should I shoot Adobe RBG or SRGB from the camera and does it matter for RAW? My understanding was that in order to use 16 bit I needed to be in AdobeRBG.
Which profile should I use for photoshop? as I can set the color space in it
After I calibrate my monitor will I be able to use that profile for the various pieces of software I'll be using?
I think I have Color Profile and Color Space meshed in my mind and thats probably very wrong. Thanks, Veet

All my episodes on my ipod touch are out of order, they are in alphabetical instead of episode number. Its really annoying. How do you fix it?

After i upgraded to iOS 6 my ipod touch has been putting all my tv shows episodes in alphabetical order instead of episode number order. I have tried a few things to put it back to normal but they just wont go back into the right order. Its really annoying if i am starting to watch something and then want to go onto the next ep on my ipod and its really annoying having to go through around 20 eps to find the next one.. Its the same on my brothers ipad. Except they dont have the episode numbers on them at all. If anyone has a solution on how to fix this it would be great. I might end up going to apple and asking myself when i get my ipad to show them excatly. If its a bug in the iOS it really needs to be fixed.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
