Screen blank for video

When I go to videos to watch a movie, my screen suddenly went dark and I cannot get it to do anything else in the video mode

There are a few things that you could try :
try searching for one of the videos via the Spotlight search screen (swipe the first homescreen to the right) and then if it finds it tap on it to start playing it
try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Videos 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Vieeos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

What is best screen capture for video to be edited in FCP?

Hello:
I need to add some video from a client's website to include in a video being edited in ye olde FCP 7.
The rest of the video is ProRes 422.
Is there a screen capture software package that can capture in a compatible format and be high resolution enough?
I have looked at ScreenFlow and Camtasia for Mac but they don't have much info on their sites about video specs.
Client wants to capture a webcast and show the video in context of the website it plays on.
I could just shoot the screen with my HD camera but I'm hoping there is something better out there.
Oh - and yes... I have thought of cheating it.... superimposing the original video into a screen grab of the website but the client doesn't have the original video.
Thanks for any info.

I've been using Camtasia recently and there's a 30 day trial

And you can record the entire screen or choose just a smaller area. Great for capturing video on a website

Screen Capture for Video?

Hi all,
I would like to do the following two things:
*_ITEM A:_*
1) Insert a DVD.
2) Hit the Pause Button.
3) Get a Screen Shot of just the still frame.
*_ITEM B:_*
1) Insert a DVD.
2) Capture only say a 25 second segment out of a 2 hour DVD and save it in a separate file (QT, AVI, MPEG, etc).
Is there a way to do this within the OS? And before anyone answers, no the Grab functionality does not work with either of the two "Items" above. If there is not a way to do this within the OS, any other suggestions for software would be appreciated.
I have a MacBookPro, Tiger 10.4.1 running Parallels and Windows XP. So the software can be either MAC or PC based.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
You're right, the built-in screen grabs do not work with DVD Player.
First, use VLC Player to play a DVD that you want to screencap, and you will be able to use the normal screengrab keystrokes to get stills.
For movies, you should look into Snapz Pro.

Why does iphone 5 not use whole screen viewing for videos also when using iplayer app it only works on iphone 4 screen settings. why can we not have whole screen displaying image.

I have a iphone 5, I was dissapointed that when watching iplayer the screen settings are same as iphone 4 so end user has no joy enjoying the big screen , I have noticed youtube does the same,

It hasent been updated to support iphone 5 screen size yet, it will come in time.

Which G5 for Video Editing?

Hello, I've decided not to wait for an Intel MacPro, but would like to buy a G5 in the next 5 mos (by July) for standard-definition video editing using FCP 5 Studio. I have a few questions:
1) Currently, I have a Quicksilver G4 with dual 1 Gz, 1 Gb ram and 160 Gb ATA drive. Would FCP 5 Studio work effectively on this machine (for editing, color-correction, motion graphics, rendering to DVD etc)? If not, is it worth investing more money into this machine, or should I switch to a G5?
2) Which G5 would work effectively for my purposes? Kindly advise on clock-speed, RAM, Video card, hard disk etc. I take it I will not need RAID for SD, but only high-definition? I would need to use this machine for at least 3 years. Do you see Apple discontinuing hardware or FCP support for this platform during this time?
3) How would the 23" screen be for video-editing? Are there any rumors about a 25" screen replacing it?
4) Lastly, are there any Apple conventions in the next 6 mos (where new products could be announced), which I should wait for, before purchasing?
Thanks for your advice!

Hello, I've decided not to wait for an Intel MacPro, but would like to buy a G5 in the next 5 mos (by July) for standard-definition video editing using FCP 5 Studio. I have a few questions:
Get a Quad and get one fast, with a PPC machine you'll have lots of media copying freedom as you have control over your hardware. With the new EFI Mactels, trusted computing and HDCP coming you will not.
Actually I wouldn't waste money on a PowerMactel machine until the whole "Blueray/HD-DVD" thing gets straightened out too, that's going to have a lot of baggage associated with it. When they do at least you'll have a Quad to be able to do things you won't be allowed on the PowerMactel w/BlueRay.
Standard definition is going "bye-bye" in the US mandatory by 2009, mostly by 2007. You'll need to go HD as all the new TV sets being sold are HD/digital ready and all the content will switch as well. (HD Is really nice too, but eats hard drive space fast)
1) Currently, I have a Quicksilver G4 with dual 1 Gz, 1 Gb ram and 160 Gb ATA drive. Would FCP 5 Studio work effectively on this machine (for editing, color-correction, motion graphics, rendering to DVD etc)? If not, is it worth investing more money into this machine, or should I switch to a G5?
Yes sure, but if time = money, you'll need CPU muscle to render faster and large RAM to burn faster.
I say get a PPC Quad, a large stock drive with 16MB of cache and a Western Digital 150GB 10,000 RPM RaptorX for a boot/app and "bare bones" home drive, keeping your video on the large stock drive. Get yourself 4Gb of RAM or slightly more, install it yourself and save money by visiting Crucial.com. (no comp)
2) Which G5 would work effectively for my purposes? Kindly advise on clock-speed, RAM, Video card, hard disk etc. I take it I will not need RAID for SD, but only high-definition? I would need to use this machine for at least 3 years. Do you see Apple discontinuing hardware or FCP support for this platform during this time?
Apple will support PPC based hardware for a long time, so will a lot of third party software makers because it's the majority platform. Not much software is available for the Mactel based machines, so PPC and the Quad is the best longterm professional choice at this time. I would also not get the stock card but the next one up.
RAID you can play with later, rolling your own mini-raid set or if you have volume and require speed then a X-RAID.
3) How would the 23" screen be for video-editing? Are there any rumors about a 25" screen replacing it?
I had a 23", it's small, but it will do the job. A couple of inches increase won't make much of a difference IMO. If you got the bucks get a 30", it's awesome and better than two monitors as you don't need to turn your head back and forth. Just sit back and take it all in.
Of course for standard video your going to need a standard monitor anyway for previewing.
4) Lastly, are there any Apple conventions in the next 6 mos (where new products could be announced), which I should wait for, before purchasing?
We just had one, Macworld, where the Mactels were announced, supposely Intel will release a 64 bit dual core around September, Adobe Photoshop supposely won't be ready with a Mactel version for another 14 months it's been estimated.
Apple is working on universal versions of their apps, some are ready already.

When i select the "Full Screen" option in video streams (like youtube, veoh, anything like that) i can do that one(1) time second(2nd) time the screen goes blank and can only exit it with the escape(Esc) button and then i have to restart firefox and again i have my one "Full-screen Ticket"

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

When watching a video on youtube, if the monitor blanks for power saving, when it resumes, the video area is green (not refreshed) but the sound keeps playing.

Steps:
1. Video is correctly playing on youtube
2. Since I'm just watching and not pressing any key or moving the mouse, the display will blank for power saving after some minutes
3. I move the mouse to wake it
4. The video area is solid green, while the sound continues playing
5. If I switch tasks, the area from the other task gets painted over the video area, it seems like the video are is never refreshed after the suspend/wake

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

I think you might mean Slice X. I think it has a motion tracker.

Why is the video screen black for me? FCPX

Why is my screen where the video is saposed to be playing black with a multicolored grainy looking box in the top left hand corner of it for Final Cut Pro X?

"I suspect you simply didnt wait long enough for youtube to fully process the video before you watched it."
Incorrect. After I uploaded the second video, I went to sleep, without watching it once.
So if I set the 2nd video to low resolution, would it end up looking like the first video? Because I still think the first video has better quality.

Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
A bit more info:
-tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
-tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
-tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
-tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.

Thumbnails for Videos and Movies are Blank or Black?

I've just "upgraded" to iPhoto 11. Now most of my video or movie files have black and blank thumbnails. The movies don't start out with a black frame, it's that iPhoto isn't registering a thumbnail for some reason. I looked through the archive but the suggestions are focused on previous versions of iPhoto.
Any suggestions?

I tried this as well. Rebuilding with all the different rebuild options (which does take a long time) and with no joy I'm afraid - still have black thumbnails for video images.
FYI: Tried a rebuilding in iPhoto Library Manager too
Problem still persists. Any one have any ideas on this, I have so many videos with this issue ... black thumbnail image/preview in iPhoto - but (thankfully) the video file is definitely there and does play.
Any ideas appreaciated.

IPhone screen won't flip horizontally for videos

After I upgraded my iPhone 5 to iOS 7 my screen won't flip horizontally for video clips. It does flip for YouTube but not for music videos.
Please fix!!

This is ridiculous. Half the time it will go horizontally to a song that isn't even playing. The other half of the time it's a tiled screen with album covers. They have the most stupid things that don't work right!

Is it normal for screen to go blank for a sec. when waking from sleep?

When I leave my MacBook sleep for a while, then wake it up, the screen will display, then go blank for a sec., then display again.
Is this normal? I don't believe it is the flicker, as my screen is solid at other times.

Not sure if it's exactly "normal" but I've notice mine do that once in awhile. I've got a first generation MacBook and it hasn't seemed to have an effect on it yet.
I don't think mine does it all the time (I really don't pay that much attention to it) but I have noticed it.

Green screen for videos and movies

i upgraded all the software for itunes and quicktime. using another post for 'green screen for video previews', i modified some settings in quicktime and one of them now has strips of static across the green. quite frustrating...

I could be off the mark, but you may need to install the version of iTunes here: iTunes for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards).
And then repair/reinstall QuickTime 7.7.6 for Windows.
If that works for you then the next time Apple Software Update or iTunes tells you there is a new version revisit the first link. It should be updated with a new "for older video cards" version that will work with QuickTime.
