Red/Green Playback Monitor

I asked this question in the CS5 forum yesterday and while a lot of people read it, there were no ideas presented. I don't know if this problem might be related to hardware, so I will try here.
I have just upgraded from CS4 to CS5. I also just purchased a new Sony NEX-VG10. I'm finding with the new camera that I occasionally get a clip that will not play properly in the monitor and it displays a solid green or red screen. Sometime a clip with this problem will play the associated audio, others will not. But I have found that it is very consistent in how each bad clip plays. In other words the same clip will always display the same symptoms.
In a few cases a clip of say 30 seconds duration may play for 5-10 seconds normally, then it goes to red screen with no audio. If I edit out the bad part and keep the rest, there is no indication during playback that there was ever a problem with the remaining portion of the original clip. But nothing I have tried will work to save the bad portion of the clip.
These are AVCHD files with .m2ts file extension. I've tried a test project with some older .mts files shot on a Cannon and I'm not finding any of the green or red screen problems. And I don't recall ever seeing that problem with CS4 either. When I place 10 clips into the same sequence on the timeline there will be a solid yellow render bar, including above the bad clips. I can tell right away which clips are bad because the thumbnail picture at the start of the clip will be solid red rather than showing the first frame. I've tried rendering the timeline but that makes no difference. I have tried opening just the bad clip in a new project and get the same result. I've tried dragging the questionable clip into the New Item folder in the project area in order to open a new sequence that is assured to match the clip properties, but no joy.
If anyone has any ideas for what I might try to reveal the root cause of this problem I would really appreciate hearing them. Could this possibly be a memory card problem?? When I play the video back in the camea all the clips play fine. Perhaps something is being corrupted in the process of getting the video onto the computer?? I have found these bad clips in files there were moved to the computer via USB cable using software that came with the camera, and also by inserting the memory card into a USB slot on the computer for direct copy to the HDD.
Thanks

When I use the software that came with the camera to copy files from the memory card it will automatically place all the metadata files in the same folder as the video files. Of course, when I choose to import those files into PPRO the import dialog box only shows me the video files, so I'm not sure what PPRO does with the metadata??
When I remove the memory card from the camera and plug it into the card reader on the computer then when I open the folder I can only see the video files to copy. No metadata.
I've tried importing files that have been saved both ways and both have had the problem, so apparently it's not related to the presence of the metadata files. Although, this is the first I've read about the need for those files to be present and I will take that under advisement with future projects.
Plus, it's not ALL of the clips in a project that end up with this problem. So far it appears to be random, although I haven't seen it enough yet to be real scientific about keeping exact track of which clips, clip duration, etc. to see if I can find a constant.
All I know for sure right now is that every clip plays perfect when previewed in the camera and not so much by the time it gets into PPRO. I'm thinking perhaps some corruption in the process of getting the files from the camera to the HDD?? But how/why?? Something happening in the computer during the file transfer that bothers the clip being transferred at the time??
Very strange........

Blu-ray build: no video (solid red, green, etc image)

Hey everyone,
If this problem has already been addressed, could someone please point me in the right direction? I searched and didn't find anything similar, but wasn't too sure what to search for.
My problem: Everytime I build a blu-ray project in Encore, I am getting the same result; the video will play (according to the progress bar on the player), but the image is always a solid color, sometimes it's red, green, tan, black, apparently just random, but always the same color throughout the entire video.
I have tried so many different things at this point, I'm at a loss for how to proceed further. I've tried this with at least three different projects, all of which were created in Premiere. I have attempted both the dynamic link from Premiere to Encore and exporting the video first and importing into Encore later. I have tried transcoding as .264 and MPEG2 (I am not very knowledgeable about the settings, so I use the defaults). I have tried building the project in Encore as a blu-ray folder and as an ISO. I have burned to discs and played just the digital files on my PC.
The video always plays fine up until after it is exported from Encore (that is, it previews fine in Premiere, exported video from Premiere plays fine in players like VLC, and the video previews fine in Encore).And I have no trouble building DVDs in Encore with the same video, timeline, and all that jazz.
The only thing I haven't done yet is gone to the trouble of trying to reinstall Encore, which will be my next step if noone here has any suggestions. I am running CS6 with all recent updates. I have been testing the blu-ray playback in PowerDVD and a PS3.
Like I mentioned above, I'm not very proficient in video. If I left out important details, just let me know. Thanks in advance for any help!
Matt

When I play the m2ts file, it works fine in VLC and also in PowerDVD. That's interesting, but I'm not sure what that means?
If the actual m2ts file from the Encore build does not show the problem, but what I assume is the same file on disk (or in iso) shows the problem, what could cause such a problem? (I don't know.) The more frequent oddity is a problem on burned disk and not on iso or folder, which points to the burner, burn speed, or media. But that does not appear to be the issue here.
I can't find the example at the moment, but try creating a tiny bluray project and see if the problem occurs. If so, you can upload it for me to take a look.
For example, one menu with one button, linked to a 30 second timeline, using a sample of your material that is causing the problem. If that shows the problem, I would also try a bars and tones sample to eliminat your actual video - although I assume your video is part of the equation.

Colorblind red/green, how does that affect PS and what are the options.

Like so many men, I am Colorblind (not in full) for red/green. As a photographer I manipulate pictures like all of us. My main tools are LR-3 and PS-5.
I operate in the Pro-Photo colorspace on am Imac with a Eizo graphical monitor all calibrated.
The problem arrises when I start to work on skin and other elements, as I am coloblind (partial) my manipulations tend to result in a bit to redisch pictures. A comment I receive many times.
I don't see it that way, but after a colorblindness test it was comfirmed.
So here is the question: Is there a tool/colorprofile/colospace or whatever that could be used by me as a red/green colorblind person so that I can manipulate the pictures as I would like to.
The colorprofile/space/tool would compensate. Once done with the job I could then simply convert it back to a normal human view. Does this exist ?
Note that I always work with graycard and a ColorChecker from X-rite..
Any recommendation is more then welcome.

Interesting… If I understand the issue correctly, you need the opposite of this:
This shows a person with normal vision how an image will look to a color blind person. I can see how the opposite may pose quite a challenge for the programmers.

JOGL - red- green- STEREO

Hello,
I wrote a little application with jogl and now want to make it red-green-Stereo.
Does someone know a good tutorial, how to do that?
Or maybe can explain the main points to be considered?
I did a red-gren-stereo app ones, but it's quite a long time ago, and I can't find any suitable tutorials....
Thanks in advance
JJ

Disclaimer: I have no experience and am merely stating the obvious. If you already know the obvious, ignore this post.
The basic idea is that you want one colour (red? I'm not certain of the convention, but I presume you have some glasses to test with) to be what the left eye sees and the other to be what the right eye sees. So render from one camera position in the red bits and another, at a fixed relative position, in the right bits. Might be easiest to use two back-buffers, but it depends on how much control you have over rendering. The relative positioning can be done either by trial and error or from first principles using trig and an estimated position of the head relative to the monitor, monitor size, and interpupillary distance.

Red & Green Arrow Icon when Importing

Does anyone know why I have a red & green arrow icon appear, when I am importing a clip (v 11)? I then have to repeat the process, and the clip appears. The first 80+ clips were fine, then this problem started. This is very frustrating!

Hi Bill,
Sorry for the delay in replying. I have spent the time de-cluttering / removing programs, clearing the registry, and de-fragging.
I then carried out a number of tests:
Opened Task Manager and the Resource Monitor. Both registered zero on CPU usage (no programs running).
Opened Premier Elements - both registered between 1 and 2% CPU usage.
I then opened Organizer (from the bottom of Premier) - both CPU usages jumped to 100%. Computer slowed considerably.
It is interesting that Organizer still does not show all my JPGs (between 5 and 10%), the rest are icons - either an hour glass, or the flower question mark. Where some of the JPGs are showing, only a fraction of the ones in the folder have been imported.
I then closed Organizer (exit from Premier) - CPU usage in both remained at 100% (even after 10 minutes)
I then closed Premier (exit) - CPU usage in both remained at 100%.
Organizer is still running in the Resource Monitor (average 96.85%), along with Elements Auto Analyzer (0%) and Adobe QT32 Server.exe (0%). The same is happening in Task Manager, except Organizer is taking 99% CPU usage.
It is 40 minutes since the programs have been closed.
My picture and video folders are as follows:
    My Pictures:   104GB    29994 files    585 folders
    Videos:          269GB    12290 files    277 folders
    HDD:            Used:    488GB
                        Free     432GB
Core i7 2.8GHz
8GB RAM
Win 7 64-bit
My apologies for such a lengthy reply, but I am at a loss as to what may be wrong!
Can I clear Organizer totally, and see if that works?
Should I delete a portion of my pictures / videos? (I have a back-up).
Your assistance is so appreciated.
Michael
P.S. The only way to clear my memory, is to re-start.

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back? I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

You're welcome
You had Safari in full screen mode.

How do I make the red-green-yellow icons and the text in window title bars larger?

The title text is a little too small to just see - I have to concentrate on it to read it - and I can't tell the red-green-yellow icons apart without staring at them. Yes, my sight is quite poor; I'm already sitting as close as I can.

sorry about the slang display portal, i just mean the entire screen, like a magnifying glass. There is probably a keystroke, and it's probally all in here:
I do agree it's a concern, as I have a torn retina, and my eye gets strained quickly.

Red green yellow buttons in iTunes 10

OK, I upgraded to iTunes 10 awhile back and noticed the buttons in upper left corner of window are gray and not red green yellow. I have searched the web for fixes and came up with two
defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -1
defaults write com.apple.iTunes full-window -int -1
These work to make the vertical to horizontal, but the color is still gone. What is the terminal entry for getting the color buttons back. Not really concerned with the icons being color at this time but would like the corner buttons color.
Thanks

ok...upon further research found answer to this question myself.

Three options:
1. Call AppleCare.

Image to red green blue intengers

Hello,
I'm trying to extract the three main colours of an RGB image to red green blue values (intengers). Those value will be the sum of all pixels values in the image.
any ideas?

This was exactly it! Thank you so much!
For future reference - if anyone else gets this issue - you are able to enter kernel params when you press tab on the "boot linux" menu item when the iso loads up; this opens up the options where you can input the parameters and in this instance it was indeed nomodeset.

Status : GREEN in MONITOR , YELLOW in MANAGE

Hi Experts,
We had scheduled a Full Upload through an infopackage. When we check the request it is green in monitor but in manage screen of the INfocube it is still Yellow. This has been occuring since last few months........manually makin the request into green is possible but i think thts not the solution.
Can anyone please let me know why such discrepancies are occuring?
Any suggestion wil be rewarded
Rgrds,
vaishnavi

Hi Vaishnavi,
U can check whether is there any process is running for ur request in SM37 or not? or u can check it in SM50 as well..
Check the details tab of the load from the monitor screen and check if everything is finished for ur request..
If there is no errors or process is running for ur request then u can manually change the Qm status of the request in the manage of the Cube..
Also check from the Monitor of ur load --> Menu bar --> Environment --> Set quality status to OK automatically has been enabled for ur Cube or not?
If not then u need to check this one for getting the proper status to be updated for ur request.
thanks
Assign points if this helps

Problem extracting red, green and blue from ColorModel

Hi everyone,
I'm attempting to write a piece of code to extract the red, green and blue components from an image using the ColorModel class. When I attempt to run my code below, I get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: More than one component per pixel. Does anyone know how to extract an integer representation of the red in a pixel in order to solve the problem? Here's the code snippet:
public void getRGBValues()
          String imageFilename = new String("C:\\Documents and Settings\\David\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\blue hills1.jpg");
         PlanarImage image = JAI.create("fileload", imageFilename);
         //Get the color model for that particular image
         ColorModel imageColorModel = image.getColorModel();
         //ints to store the appropriate values for each colour component
         int totalRed = 0;
         int totalGreen = 0;
         int totalBlue = 0;
         int averageRed = 0;
         int averageGreen = 0;
         int averageBlue = 0;
         int pixelNumber = 0;
         int pixelCount = 0;
         //Loop to extract the colour values out of each pixel in an image passed into the class
         for(int i = 0; i < image.getWidth(); i++)
              for (int j = 0; j < image.getHeight(); j++)
                   totalRed += imageColorModel.getRed(pixelNumber);
                   totalGreen += imageColorModel.getGreen(pixelNumber);
                   totalBlue += imageColorModel.getBlue(pixelNumber);
                   pixelCount++;
                   pixelNumber++;
              pixelCount++;
              pixelNumber++;
         averageRed = Math.round(totalRed / pixelCount);
          averageGreen = Math.round(totalGreen / pixelCount);
          averageBlue = Math.round(totalBlue / pixelCount);
          System.out.println("Average red is " + averageRed);
          System.out.println("Average green is " + averageGreen);
          System.out.println("Average blue is " + averageBlue);
}

You are misunderstanding the ColorModel methods. The color model can translate between colors and pixels, but it doesn't know or hold pixel data.
I don't know the JAI, but if you use J2SE classes like BufferedImage, this is easy to do:
BufferedImage im = ImageIO.read(input);
int argb = im.getRGB(x, y);
int r = 0xff & (argb>>16);
int g = 0xff & (argb >>8);
int b = 0xff & argb;

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project. I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there. When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine. But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing. Help!

Many thanks for the reply with the details.
But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back

Strange colour spots (red&green) appear after RAW files converted to JPEG, anyone know how to fix it? Thanks.

I use "Export" function to convert the picture from RAW format to JPEG format, resolution 240 pixels per inch. Strange red dots appeared in the area supposed to be dark grey, as per the picture below. The red colour does not appeared in the original RAW picture when viewing from Lightroom, only exist in the JPEG it created. Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks!
