Single Frame Displays on External Monitor

I have been searching online for the past three hours, trying to find a solution to this. I have found threads describing similar problems, however, I have done everything suggested in those threads, and nothing seems to work. I am at my wit's end.
The problem: When I attempt to play my sequence in my timeline, while connected to an external monitor, then audio plays, but only a single frame shows on the monitor. It updates to the most current frame whenever playback stops, but it only shows a static image. Meanwhile, the canvas window in Final Cut Pro displays nothing.
Things I Have Tried:
I have selected "All Frames" under View > External Video.
I have Refreshed A/V Devices.
I have made certain that the Canvas display size is small. Currently, it is at 50%, and I have also tried setting it to Fit To Window.
I have gone to Easy Setup, and selected NTSC, DV-NTSC.
I have checked "Mirror On Desktop" under Audio/Video Settings > A/V Devices > Playback Devices.
I have also tried unchecking "Mirror on Desktop."
I have set Video Playback to Apple Firewire NTSC (720 x 480).
I have set the Sequence Preset to DV NTSC 48 Khz.
I have set the Device Control Preset to Firewire NTSC.
I have exited Final Cut Pro, made sure the deck was on first, then turned on Final Cut Pro.
I have restarted the computer.
Further Notes: I've noticed that the problem might have something to do with how sequences are displayed. If I double-click on one of my video files in the Final Cut Browser, and open it in the Viewer window, it plays fine, even displays fine in the external monitor (my deck). Furthermore, if I open different Final Cut Projects that worked fine previously, they now have the same issue. So I would assume it is not a problem with the sequence in this current project I am working on.
Any help you could give would be appreciated more than I can express.

Have you set the sequence you're trying to play to DV-NTSC? It sounds to me like you're trying to play a sequence that is not a stock DV sequence through a DV device.
Try creating a new DV-NTSC sequence, copying all the clips from your current sequence, and pasting them into the new sequence.

MacBook will not display on external monitor in clamshell mode

System information:
13 in. MacBook (2.4Ghz Intel 2-Core)
10.6.7
External Display connected with Apple DisplayPort VGA adapter
Apple Wireless Keyboard
Generic wireless mouse that connects to a USB stick plugged into the MacBook
This is dirving me nuts because it was working perfectly until about 2 weeks ago. I was following the pocess outlined here. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131
Here is what happens now:
MacBook display and external monitor are in mirroring mode. All devices are powered on and plugged in.
Close MacBook lid. MacBook goes to sleep. Blinking LED.
Hit spacebar on the Apple Bluetooth keyboard. The LED changes to steady on. However, the external display never shows the desktop. I've tried Command-F1... nothing.
If I open the lid again... the MacBook goes back to sleep.
I then have to pull out the DisplayPort VGA adapter to wake the MacBook up again.

You could try resetting the SMC and see if that helps.

Single field display on external crt monitor

I can't find the setting to display a paused frame as deinterlaced on my external monitor. (My client is put off by the 'shimmering' of the two field display when paused). Is there a setting that will change this?
Many thanks

You must apply the Deinterlace filter to the freeze frames: Filters > Video > Deinterlace.
Hope it helps!

Desktop photo doesn't display on external monitor

I use a mid-2010 vintage MBPro 7,1 Core Duo 2.4 GHz with the NVIDIA GForce 256 MB graphics processor, running 10,7.4 upgraded from snow leopard. The laptop migrates between work and home. At work, I plug into a NEC 24" monitor with single DVI 1920 x 1200 monitor, and operate it with an external keyboard in clamshell mode. Probably every other time I do that, it gives me a gray desktop, dropping the photo I had chosen. It also often bizarrely resizes program windows. They are often consigned to the far right, nearly off the screen, and I have to drag them over and resize. Adobe Acrobat is often resized to a single strip, with just the top of the window showing.
What would account for the variable behavior (sometimes with desktop photo showing, sometimes not), and the weird window displays? Are there any parameters I can change to make it more stable?
What's interesting is that when I plut into my wife's cinema display, it usually sorts out the connection much faster, and displays without errors, though it is sometimes jumpy displaying video at high resolutions.
Thanks for any guidance.

Finally stumbled on the solution.
There is an option in Display Preferences, Options tab. It is the Overscan checkbox (default checked). Just uncheck it and the screen will not be cut off.

2010 Macbook Pro 17 display on external monitor only after power on

THis has happened a few times over the past 6 weeks - I power on first thing in the morning and the primary screen is black, and the login screen appears on the external monitor. Shutting it down and starting up again does the same thing. When it happened before I'd power off, remove the external display, power on and then I'd get the primary display back agin but it's not working this time and I've only got the external display working.
Is there a utility to 'kick' the graphics into the correct mode, or is this some type of hardware problem?
Thanks,
Graham

The primary laptop monitor starts blank, and only the external monitor is working.
If I shutdown, unplug the external monitor and power back on the laptop screen stays blank. If I plug the external monitor in the screen that would normally have been on the primary laptop screen is on the external monitor, and the laptop screen remains blank. At this point I can only work with an external monitor plugged in, and that limits my portability a bit

T530 - Dual boot not displayed on external monitor when docked

Hi,
I just got my new T530, loaded all my applications and data from my T61. The T530 is connected to the 4338 docking station.
I have Win 7 on the internal disk, and Win 8 on the ultrabay disk.
Dual boot works fine when undocked, but when docked and the lid is closed I don't see the dual boot selection on the external monitor and the PC boots into Win 7 (which is my default OS).
When cold or warm booting I also don't see the Thinkpad splash screen.
I did not have this problem with my T61 when docked. There the splash screen and dual boot selection was displayed and I was able to select which OS I want to boot into.
Any ideas whet I can do here?
Thanks

As I came across this it's a matter of the two graphic cards and how they are shared.
The Intel always drives the Laptop-Display and the analogue port, the digitalports at the docking are all driven by the Nvidia Card.
The splashscreen will always be displayed with the intel card and therefore not be visible with the digital ports at the docking.

What are the keyboard shortcuts to display on external monitor

Hi
how can i get my laptop to export the image to an external monitor?
I have a MB Pro, and have tried DVI to HDMI direct cable, the supplied DVI-D cable connected to VGA cable and no luck.
the screen on my laptop is flickering and I want to use the external monitor.
Any advice appreciated.
Tks

The typical method is to just plug it in.
If you are using Mini DisplayPort, the adapter must be right at the Mini DisplayPort end, you cannot convert to VGA halfway down the cable.
DVI and Mini DVI provide computer-generated VGA at the computer connector, in the bar at one end and the four pins around it, plus one more from the top row of the grid.
The biggest problem with HDMI is that the display must be "paying attention" and ready to answer when the Mac queries for the name and capabilities.
If your internal display works at all, this can tell you whether the external display has been detected:

Display on external monitor is pixelated

I am at wit's end, so figured I'd check in with the brain trust.
I have a SONY DHR1000 deck hooked up to the G5 via fire wire. The deck is hooked up to a regular TV monitor via standard RCA cable. I've changed the cables and have swapped my camera with the SONY deck and the result is still the same, so I've eliminated faulty cables and external DV device as sources of the problem.
The problem is that, when I play back on the external monitor, I see 3 lines of large pixels that are diagonal and seem to blink and move from right to left at a rate of about once each half second. I have View External Video set to All Frames. Video Playback is set to Apple Firewire NTSC. I've refreshed the AV Devices. I'm at a complete loss. Any help you could offer would be immensely appreciated. I've been grappling with this problem for 3 straight hours. GRRRRRRR!!
Thanks much!
Dan

It's time for a pow wow with the bow wow!
I think my deck, and not the noble hound, is tripping! I tried using a Sony DCRVX1500 camera as a VCR and it eliminated the pixelization on the external monitor. Now, however, only the clips that I have used (parts of) on the timeline are out of sync (video/audio). The ones that haven't been used yet, in part or entirety (those that have not yet been put on the timeline), seem to be fine when played in the monitor window.
I think my deck has meeses. I'm going to recapture the first 3 clips using the camera (as opposed to the deck I used originally), then hope this is all due to a faulty deck (fingers crossed).
Thank you for your help, Underdog!

Display size external Monitor

The resolution of the YOGA 13" display is that high, that one has to use 200% size in Windows 8.x. If I connect to an external monitor with HD resolution this is to big. I have to change it and make a re-login. This is very time consuming and annoying.
How can I resolve this problem?

Ya, that's going to be an issue. The Mac (when set not to mirror) will think you're wanting to use that extra monitor as extra space (i.e. extends the desktop onto it). In mirror mode, the resoluton MUST be matched on both (I think it's a limitation of the OS because I can do this all day long on Windows). The only other solution would be to hook up multiple monitors and a physical keyboard/mouse so that you can close the clamshell and use just the external monitors. Don't quote me on this, but you may be able to mirror at that point across two external monitors. The problem comes into play when you try to do that along with the built-in laptop display.

No video on dv4-2165dx but video displays on external monitor

I have a dv4-2165dx that has suddenly stopped showing video on the screen. I can see video on an external screen via VGA or HDMI output. When I turn the computer on, the screen stays blank for a few seconds but as the computer boots up, the screen truns a little lighter than the black color it shows when it is off. It seems that something is going on on the LCD since it turns some type of different color but (i.e. some type of energy has been put through the lcd) but I cannt see anything or use it at all. I have read several places where you can do hard restes, remove the battery, change the angle of the screen, etc - I have done all tips that I can find online and nothign works. I am at the point where I plan to try to replace the cable, adn possibly the inverter since the issue does not seem to be the video card given that it works on the external monitor. I have alos heard that there is a list of defective laptop models where HP would rfix the issue for free. Every link leading back to this list does not work anymore. ANy help would be much appreciated.

Hi @jsonadam
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is a gran place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that your display is no longer functioning, When you power on your notebook the screens goes blank for a few seconds and when booting turns a little lighter and then goes to a black color the same as when it is powered off. Your secondary monitor is still displaying your screens. You have tried a hard reset but no change.
Here is a link to Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot
Should you require a replacement display and are interested in doing the repair yourself, here is a link to HP Pavilion dv4 Entertainment PC. Please note page 26 or chapter 3 page 3 for a list or replacement displays.
I hope this helps!

MBP not displaying to external monitor at startup, but does after login

After I installed Yosemite my MBP will not automatically display to my external monitor (HDMI) when I start it up. I have to first login to my MBP and then my external monitor is immediately recognized and my mirroring desktops works as intended...as it did before I upgraded to Yosemite. I have no idea why the signal to my external monitor doesn't/will not work upon system start up. Anyone out there know??

Did you find a solution? I have the exact same problem. I just install Yosemite and did not have the problem before.

Single Frame Display

Hi,
I want to give the user the ability to navigate around an FMS-streamed video and adjust the playhead while remaining in a paused state. The video should just play the single frame that corresponds to the current playhead position. I can see that NetStream.play(...) gives me the ability to display only a single frame, but I can't find the equivalent in OSMF. Is there one?
Thanks,
KIrk

I might be misunderstanding your use case, but I don't think you need to do anything special to display that single frame while seeking. Rather, you just need to call MediaPlayer.seek every time the playhead changes due to the user scrubbing. The seek method is designed so that subsequent calls will take precedence over the initial call, which enables a constant update of the current frame while seeking.
The ExamplePlayer sample app (source code here) exhibits this behavior.

Fuzzy Display on External Monitors MAC Book Pro

Morning all,
Right, I've had my MBP for over 6 months now and I love it. Great piece of kit, and I wish I'd come across to OSX years ago. Having said that, I've come across an annoying issue with using external monitors. I have the latest MBP and the software version is 10.9.4. The issue is I have two monitors plugged into the MAC via Mini-Port to DVI to HDMI cables. The main issue is the fonts are quite fuzzy. It's not terrible, but its very frustrating. The weird thing is if I connect to my windows machine via Remote Desktop when Windows loads up its crisp and clear, yet everything behind that window on the same screen on the MAC is fuzzy. Very peculiar.
Secondly the resolution isnt the best. Especially considering what these monitors are capable of on my Windows PC.
I'm sure this must be a common issue? Hopefully there is an easy solution. I can put up with it, but considering how much I've paid for the MAC I would expect a lot better. Just so you know, I'm not tecky on the MAC at all!
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Windows won't display on external monitor on MBP

I've tried every combination of the Windows ATI control panel (w/BootCamp), but I can't get output on an external monitor (mirror or extended desktop). The computer thinks the desktop is extended, because I can move windows out of sight in that direction. The only time I see something on the other monitor is in OS X (works fine) OR during boot of Windows - I see the Windows XP boot screen.
Anyone have any success?

Since I heard other people had DVI
connections working, I tried that, and it worked.
Then, I plugged an analog monitor back into it, and
that worked too! Seems like it just needed a kick
(weird).
I too have tried all manner of combinations and restarts to get Windows XP output to SVGA data projector. I get picture during windows start up and then it disappears - never to return once XP has loaded.
What order do you use to link up all the bits? is there a way to toggle external monitor in XP via boot camp on a Macbook Pro?

Early 2011 15inch MacBook Pro not displaying on external monitor

I have an early 2011 15 inch MacBook Pro and I tried to connect it to a Samsung U28D590D 4k display. My computer is recognizing it as a monitor and saying that the output resolution is 2560x1440, which is what I expected considering my graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB and my chipset is an AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256VRAM. I just don't know why its not displaying on the monitor. Any help will be very appreciated.

i did manage to get a little step further and get my mac to ask about resolutions but it still won't appear on the monitor
