Render turns black when GPU acceleration + .psd in project

Hi there,
Got Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 / 8.0.1 (21) Build, and a weird and very annoying issue :
When GPU rendering is turned ON, as soon as i'm importing a .psd (saved with "max compatibility option) into the project, make a sequence with it to make some animations, the rendering window renders nothing, it's black. Sound is still going on btw. I have to switch to basic render. Then i can't do anything real time, as i'm applying many effects and high resolution animations with smooth zooms, stabilization, color corrections and stuff like that.
Anyone facing the same issue or having a piece of advice is welcome.
PS SPECS :

Well it's fixed since the last update of Premiere Pro that may have not been automated for some reason !
2014.2 Release 8.2.0 (65 Build) versus 8.0.1 (21) Build
I'm so happy ! I can now work flawlessly again !

Why does my screen turn black when I play iTunes while working on iPhoto?

Why does my screen turn black when I play ITunes while working on iPhoto? I can't click off of the screen but get a message that reads Shut down computer by pressing button in back then turn computer back on by pushing button in back. That's followed by Chinese letters (which I cannot read). I have had other problems when playing iTunes (actually, a radio station on the Internet) while working on iPhoto. Before, I got a window that would pop up and tell me I had no disk space available, that I would have to quit applications that were open. Not many were open.
It would be nice if I could solve this problem once and for all.
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions. I truly appreciate your help.
Jan

That was easy. Thanks. Jan

My iphone screen doesnt turn black when im on the phone

my iphone 4 screen doesnt turn black when im on the phone and its not the case and i havent dropped it, is there anything i can do without having to get a new phone. i would get a new phone if i need to but i would like to fix it without having to.

The Ambient Light Sensor may be malfunctioning. Unfortunately there is not much you can do without tampering with the phone internally and voiding the warranty. Your best bet is to bring the phone to a local Apple Store and have them inspect it.

Premier Pro CC files in media browser turn black when I hover

Hello,
I have uploaded files into a new project. In the media browser window I can see the thumbnails but they turn black when I hover over them.
From the project window it I double click on one it loads but I can only see black though I can hear the audio.
What have I done wrong??
Thanks.

Hi Kevin,
Yes, through the Media Browser. Coming from a Nikon D800.
Thanks for the info. I noticed that you have a Windows system. Is QuickTime installed? It should be.
If so and you still cannot import, what happens if you change the extension of the media file from .mov to .mpg?
Thanks,
Kevin

I've read a lot of comments/suggestions about camera issues that it turns black when opening the phone camera but nothing is worked for me. I'm so frustrate on my iPhone 5s im using it like for a month, I thought its more better than Samsung but I failed.

I would have had the phone looked at long before a month of problems.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support. You phone is under warranty and someone at an Apple store can help you.

The screen on my iPhone 6 turns black when on a call

The screen on my iPhone 6 turns black when I am on a call (and then I cannot end the call)

My iPhone 5s did the same and my company sent me a new one. That one had the same problem. I am now being told by my company that it is an app that I have loaded that is not compatible with the IOS update. They sent me an iPhone6 and advised me to only add my apps one at a time to see which one is causing the problem. Verizon, I was told, has been working on the problem as well. Don't know if all this is true but sounded right to me.

Screen turns black when I turn my iPad

My screen turns black when turn my iPad

I have an Ipad 1 gen bought in 2010. Doing some research I think there is a connection between date bought and the screens. Thick striped, black white or colored but Apple are refusing to acknowledge. If I can get enough people I will take this further if I can! Please join me on Facebook @Apple Ipad screen issues Thanks!

Lightroom slower when GPU acceleration is enabled

My graphics card is OpenGL compatible and it is shown in the preferences under performance.
When the GPU setting is turned on my develop module is extremely slow. Turning it off is faster and more like LR 5 performance.
All the hype about GPU acceleration and in reality is slows me down.
I've also noticed then if you have an image open and then open the preferences windows and toggle the GPU setting on and off, the image changes.
When I say changes, I mean the image becomes lighter or darker as if the exposure or whites/blacks is being changed.

I agree with Adamnz. I have a slightly older system but using CC 6 is like going back to the early releases of 5.x when the clone tool was jerking around the screen.
Painting with a brush and the mask showing makes the lag time visible.
Jerky tool movements... like trying to paint with Parkinson's.
Screen blackouts while refreshing images.
Slow screen refreshes between images.
CPU usage slightly higher (60%) with GPU enabled
But since this version created a "New and Improved" catalog I can't (i don't think) go back to 5.x...
BTW, I have been waiting for a call back from support for an hour when the stated call back time was 25 to 30 minutes... Not Good.
Here are my specs in case Adobe is listening....

It specifically has issues playing through any layered graphics or titles, but seems to play with those disabled. I have tried having "Composite In Linear Color" enabled and disabled, and neither seemed to make a difference. It's the same deal when rendering. If I have titles, and use GPU Acceleration it jumbles clips, cuts to black or static, all manner of weirdness. Is there something I'm missing?
An example of what playback looks like if I have titles and GPU Acceleration enabled.

This computer thing seems complicated enough that if your system works better with GPU accel off, that's you best performance. I understand they've been trying to sort out these sorts of issues but there's so many dang variables, and trying to build software that interlinks with other complicated software is something no other NLE or Grading program does. That throws even more kinks into the list.

My image turns black when I try to edit it in Photoshop CC on Windows 7

I attached a screen recording of what is happening when I try to edit my image in photoshop. I'm trying to make a funny picture for my friend by photoshopping their face onto the surfer but when I try to select the original face to remove it my screen turns black.
If anyone can help me figure out why this is happening I'd really appreciate it!

Go update your video card driver from the GPU Maker's website (Not Microsoft or a system builder).

Entire image turns black when using the type tool in Photoshop CC

When I create a text layer, the whole image turns black. If I enter the text blindly, I will see the expected results when I finish and click on another tool. If I try to edit the text layer, everything turns black again. I am not using the type mask tool. I can select and move the layer and I can blend the layer; I just can't see what I am typing.
Using Windows 8

I had the same problem and the update of the video card driver did not help - only after changing the settings in photoshop under "Preferences >> Performance >> Advanced settings >> Basic" the problem was solved

Pantones turn black when PDF opened in Preview

I am creating mockups for a t-shirt design, this top photo is how the design looks in illustrator with the correct pantones: blue 3115C, Red 119C, and Black.
When I save it as a PDF and it is opened in the Preview Application, certain colors turn black like this:
This has happened several times lately and I have recently switched from Illy CS5 to CS6, so I wonder if that is the reason?
Any clues guys? Help is greatly appreciated.

Apple's Preview is one of the worst PDF viewers ever. Standard advice for just about every problem is "use the FREE Adobe Reader instead".
That said, I'm intrigued:

Can you test this?
A PMS ink does not "have" a color to display on screen, since the ink name in itself is enough to unambiguously identify it (when printing as color separations, to be exact). But (1) one would appreciate a fairly accurate preview, and (2) sometimes one needs to convert a PMS ink to its nearest equivalent in CMYK. For that reason, an approximation of the ink used should be stored into the PDF as well. I can't imagine Adobe forgot about that for CS6 (if so, your file won't work with Reader either), but maybe they switched it to a notation that poor dumb Preview cannot handle. In that case, I'm curious about what the difference could be.
If you can create a small file that demonstrably works correct in Preview when exported from CS5 and *not* from CS6, can you post both PDFs somewhere?

____Spot colour turns black when converted to process!

I have raster effect shadows coloured as a fake spot colour that I called 'shadow' which is a mix of CMYK, but if I convert that 'spot' to process, the shadows turn black without any other colour...
please tell me how to fix this!!!

I used the default blending mode for a drop shadow "multiply".
I assume the original poster is wanting to convert in order to re-purpose the art. I have not dealt specifically with the issue of a drop shadow that was built as a spot color and needed to convert it to process or visa versa but I could definitely imagine a scenario where it would be needed. I have done this countless times, just not specifically with a live drop shadow. I also see the advantage in being able to do this by editing the swatch. I think if Adobe did not intend for you to edit swatches, then once created they should be locked out from editing.
I believe when the OP stated that their spot color was a mix of CMYK it does not mean that the swatch is a process swatch, rather the display color is defined by a CMYK build.
I can accept that this is a limitation of Illustrator, but I do not accept that the answer is to not do it in the first place.
I found a work around. If you make a second swatch (call it shadow 2 for instance) and set that swatch as a global process swatch you can then merge the two swatches together with a sucessful change to the drop shadow. If you have never used merge swatches please keep in mind that the swatch you first select is the dominant swatch, so select the color you want to merge to first.

Pdf area patterns turn black when embedded

I have serveral vector pdfs that I need to merge together on a single page. Some of these pdfs have area patterns/tiles in them to represent vegetation, etc. When I first drop them into an illustrator file the colors (green, blue, etc) are displayed correctly. However, once I embed the pdf to delete the white clipping mask, the patterns/tiles turn black.
Is there a way to do any of the following?
1) place a pdf in an illustrator file without the clipping mask showing up automatically or delete the clipping mask without embedding the pdf or
2) get illustrator to not loose the color when the file is embedded or
3) change the color of the pattern from black to the correct color (currently when I try to change the color it just gives the area a solid fill)

Skillbuilder Modal popup turns black when click submit button

Hi,
Ive used the great skill-builder's plug-in to display my page 2 popup modally from page1 by clicking a button and it works as expected. However i realized when i click the Submit button on the popup page it turns black(pls get me right here its the background of the popup page-page2 not the first page-page1 i am talking about) while refreshing.
apex 4.1.0/Oracle 11g Ent,
any help please...regards.

Skillbuilder Modal uses software named "Colorbox" for its modal presentation. The first problem that you had probably occured because you had not yet selected a theme. The position of the close button varies depending on the theme that you select. You selected theme 1, therefore the close button is in the lower right hand corner. Some of the other themes may better suit your taste. There are 5 to choose from. BTW, these themes cannot be easily changed so you pretty much have to decide on 1 of the 5. I think Dan is working on some more options with future releases of SB Modal.
