Source monitor and programm monitor stopped displaying anything

Hey there,
I'm a CS6 Production Premium user and in severe trouble here: I'm working on a big 1080p AVC-Intra50 project for a client that is due next monday. I'm close to completion, but a couple of days ago, the source monitor stopped displaying video. It would show a still as I loaded in a clip, but as soon as I played back, the source monitor simply went black. The clip was playing though and audio can be heard. Not that big a problem, I thought, and simply used the program monitor for playback. But yesterday, the same thing happened to the program monitor as well. But not just that: Even the stills are gone now. Both monitors remain black at all times, even though playback and sound still work. So I got curious and tried different materials and different projects: AVCHD, DNxHD, even JPEGS, nothing shows on either monitors, regardless of the resolution. Still, everything works just fine on my laptop.
So I completely uninstalled the entire Creative Suite, used the Clean Script multiple times, including reboots, deleted all remaining files from user and windows directories and updated all my hardware to the latest drivers. Nothing. Both monitors remain black and useless. I didn't change anything to my Adobe setup, nor my hardware or software configuration while this error occured. I searched the web for hours and I'm completely at my wits' end. Any suggestions?
My system:
Windows 7 x64
Intel Core i7 2600k
8 GB RAM
ATi 6870

I did purge the entire cache and database. Didn't help.
EDIT: I'm sorry, I only purged the database. Now, that I deleted all cached media files manually, the programm monitors is working again, but the source monitor is still out.
EDIT 2: Okay, now stuff is getting really weird: So the program monitor was working again. I continued editing for a bit, then put the program monitor into full screen and it went black again. Even when I went back to the normal size, it remains black, BUT, now the source monitor was working again. So I put the source monitor intro full screen and it went black again and both monitors stayed black.
So after deleting the media cache, I had the program monitor working again. After full screen use, it went balck, but the source monitor was working. After full screen use on the source monitor, both monitors are black again. What is going on?!

Video both in source window and edit window stops after just a few seconds. It also runs slow after a few seconds. I don't if the problem is the fact that it;'s a Vimeo down load. Any one got a suggestion as to why?

Preparing to copy files 12,300(and counting),press stop.is anything copied?

Hey Forum,
I accidentally copied a 80gb folder from my ext. hdd onto my desktop, i only realised it when it is preparing 12,300 files(n counting). so i pressed stop. is anything copied? Am i being paranoid that something is copied? or that i am just paranoid, nothing is copied. please help, thanks!
Regards
Ala.
please help thanks!

i accidentally drag it into 'Volumes". which i cannot find where the folder'
volumes' is. so do u know where the folder ' volumes' is?
/Volumes is at the top level of your startup drive - it is "hidden" from Finder, but it's easy to peek into it:
Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder
enter /Volumes and click Go
That folder contains the "mount points" for all mounted volumes, and such mount points will have "alias" icons (with a little curved arrow). So don't touch anything there that looks like an alias!

My Program and Source Monitor Stopped Working: Premiere Pro 2014

Heres how it all started.
I got an error which said I didn't have the correct video modules, then came the ugly face of BSOD. I restarted, tried again, same result. I did a system restore with Windows, reinstalled Windows 8.1, reinstalled all of my plugins and Adobe CC programs, and when I opened my project was completely scrambled. Uninstalled all Adobe software, ran CC Cleaner, reinstalled. This got the audio in my videos to work but now there's only a white screen on my my Source and Program monitor when I try to play my timeline. I did another system restore on Windows, went to my laptop manufacturers website and updated my bios, graphics driver, and processor. Also reinstalled windows updates, and my Adobe software, I've tried CC Cleaner before each install, tried going back to the previous version of Premiere and still nothing in my source or Program monitors.

-I tried going into the project settings and choose "render with software", still nothing.
-I tried emptying media cache files under C://users/my user/app data/roaming/Adobe/common.....you guessed it, NOTHING.
-I tried using my daughters "Frozen" magic wand we bought her for Christmas to fix the problem with icy magic like Elsa did in the movie.......surprisingly, still nothing.
Any other ideas out there?

Hi,
Do you have Dual Graphics Adapters? You can check that under Device Manager > Display Adapters.
If yes, Disable Intel Graphics and see if it helps.
Have you tried to Trash the Preferences?
Rename the 8.0 folder to trash the preferences: <drive>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro\

I have several tabs open and firefox suddenly stopped displaying when I clicked on the taskbar icon. I am running windows 7, no idea of FF ver as it will not display. Rebooting pc does not help. Any ideas?

Just noticed that I can open FF in a new window but cannot get to any tabs already opened in the other window. The first time I experienced a problem was when I opened one tab too many. I guess it was over 20 tabs open at once, but have now only 8-10 open.
Just remembered, it could have happened after yahoo installed itself on the toolbar, then as a menu item. I declined this every time it asked to install, but it went ahead and I cannot remove it now.

My scroll also doesn't work in Firefox -- but does in Excel and Word. This has been intermittent for months now. Usually, if I reboot the scroll would begin working again until for no apparent reason it quits again. Now even the reboot doesn't fix the no-scroll problem. I have Windows Vista. I even did a Firefox Update to 9.0.1.
I don't have that file on my about:config page so this solution won't work for me.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor

Is there a way to display metadata instead of clip name on the clips in the timeline and in the source monitor? Clip names are usually set by the camera and are of no use to me. What i would like the clip and the source monitor to display is the name of the shot from the metadata. That's,in my opinion, a very useful info when you're editing a film. If that feature doesn't exist, is there a way to batch rename clips based on metadata?

thanks
is that new or was that always there. Not to sure if I have tried that in the past
anyway it helped and will makes things much faster
one other question maybe you have an answer to that too. it seems both Audio tracks are independ when putting on keyframes is there a way when using keyframes in the time line that it affect both channels of audio for example a1 an a2
once again thanks for your help

Source Monitor and Program Monitor dead in Premier Pro?

I recently installed Premiere Pro CS6 on my laptop so I could use it on location, but both the Source Monitor and the Program monitor are completly dead. The Source Monitor just displays a bright array of colours when you try to play anything, and the Program Monitor is just plain black. The audio still plays at full volume and I've tested the imported media (a mixture of .jpg, .mov and .mp4 fils) in other programs on my computer and they work fine. Any suggestions people?
Here is a screen grap of the Premiere Pro doing its thing: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A2mmd7JCQAEyPXV.jpg:large

Different number of data records in source system and BI system

Hi all,
I have been using datasources 0HR_PA_0 and 0HR_PA_1.
When I run and check the records in source system via RSA3 there are 4893 and 360 records respectively.
When I extract the records into my 0PA_C01 cube, however, 3058 and 249 records are coming respectively.
Furthermore, when I create a personnel record in source system, it is not extracted into BI cube.
What may be the reason?
I am looking forward to your suggestions.
Regards,
Dilek

Srinath,
I've created many new personnel records in source system and these records are displayed in the list of RSA3.
However, these newly created records are not reflected in BI cube when I extract data via the specified datasources.
I've checked whether there are some filters defined, however no filter seems to exist.
By the way, I am using full upload; no delta!
Regards,
Dilek

Apple IIGS RGB Monitor, does it display anything without a video source?

I have a Apple IIGS RGB monitor no cable or computer to test it with. I just want to sell the monitor at this point. I don't recall in the past if this monitor displayed anything when it was powered on just lit up with when there was no video source. I just don't have the room to keep it and want to test it out. Since I have no way to get video is there a way to be able to test the monitor.
That is does it show raster to something when powered up without a video source. I don't recall what my old monitors did without video. I don't think I remember turning them on without video. Would I assume that is should work if the power light comes on but no picture(no video source) or should it at least have raster(white or some color screen)?
Thanks again,
Nick

Thank you, thats what I was afraid of. So it probably works, but I guess I will have to say it powers up and I have no way to test the video source to make sure. Does that sound about right? *I did try to adjust the brightness and contract but didn't see any changes.*
Thanks again,
Nick
You're leaving out the most vital part in your summary. You should be able to see change in the brightness if you crank it up. You need to put that in your description for full disclosure.

Source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half

I have adobe premiere pro cs6 and source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half. So the top half of both monitors are black and the bottom half is where the video displays. But you can see that the video is missing the top part. Like people's heads are cut off and can only see body. How can i fix this so premiere pro cs6 will use the full monitors boxes to display my video?

This is a known issue with a recent Windows update.

Program monitor and source monitor display issues

Hello, my program monitor is displaying strange colours (inverted?) when playing video. In addition, the source monitor will never display any video although audio plays back fine.
I am running on a Lenovo ThinkPad X200 laptop with Windows XP 32-bit and an Intel X4500MHD video card with the latest Lenovo-certified driver version.
From my testing, this problem appears regardless of project settings, file/footage settings, etc. I originally had the K-Lite codec pack installed although I have uninstalled that with no luck.
This problem surfaced from the moment I opened Premiere after first installing it and I have tried reinstalling the program, my video card drivers, and uninstalling the previously mentioned codecs.
Also I have a thread on this at the DVinfo forums which has had many responses although no working solution.

I would try whether killing these processes will help. It may well be that when you kill them all you may encounter hangs, because one or more may be needed for your machine. I would start by killing all Lenovo processes. One would expect that one of these processes may cause your problems, but unless you try it, you can't be sure. Unfortunately I don't have a Lenovo, so I can only guess.

Time Code Effect Source Monitor and rendered .AVI movie display different timings???

Im seeing a strange error and hope someone might be able to help me out. I am shooting elementary classroom reading lessons for a study by the University of Michigans School of Education. It is important to the study to see what takes place over about a 2hour period of time.
Im shooting with 2 cameras. 1 on the teacher the other on the students. Im shooting on mini DV. The first camera I start about 4min ahead of the second so that when the 1hour tape is filled I can switch the tape in camera 1 while still capturing activity on camera 2.
When I edit the footage I am cutting back and forth between the 2 cameras. One initial shot is of the classroom clock as it ticks from one minute to the next. I later use this footage as a guide when establishing the Time of Day.
When the entire lesson is edited together and cut. I add two transparent video tracks each with the Timecode effect added. The first I synchronize with the classroom clocksetting the Timecode Source to Generate matching the Starting Timecode with the clock footage. I then crop the frames portion so viewers will know the time of day the footage was shot. The other I leave the Timecode Source set as Clip. I use the size and position controls to move the two timers into the upper left of the screen.
When I view the finished video in the Program Monitor everything looks great. When I Export|Movie to an .AVI file the video looks correct but the timers are off. The last frame of the video in the Source Monitor displays 11:28:19 for the clock timer and 02;02;00;23 for the total time timer. But when I view the .AVI the last frame displays 11;03;40 for the clock and 01;37;36;25 for the total time.
So how did I lose 24min between the Source Monitor displays and the rendered .AVI displays?

Yes. After I had the .AVI I ran through the two side-by-side (.avi and the Source Monitor). I have since experimented with some of the Time Code effect settings trying to see if these might have some impact. I have not been able to find any detailed explanation of what each setting controls/does other than an overview (see link below).
I suspect that this has something to do with the size/length of the clip 2+ hours. Is there an optimal length for an individual clip? Should I be splitting this into 2 or 3 shorter sequences and then putting them on a DVD with Encore and setting it up to play them back-to-back?

Satellite M30X-111 screen doesn't display anything but external monitor works

My laptop screen just doesn't display anything (look like when the computer is off) but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop will be displayed on that monitor. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.
I again have to plug in the external monitor, and after I tried to reboot, I keep pressing F8 but the start up mode doesn't come up, only the sound of when you keep pressing a button for too long beeps, however, the laptop monitor works again.
How do I fix this problem?

Hi
According to your first posting I presume that LCD display on your notebook is defective. If you can not see BIOS settings or Toshiba welcome screen there must be some display problem.
Experiment with external display is to be sure that graphic card is not responsible for that. In your case it works with external display and graphic card can not be responsible.
Like I said try to enter bios settings and report if you can see Toshiba welcome screen.

LG monitor won't display anything via VGA cable

After updating to Quicktime 7.5 my screen on my LG lcd monitor starting moving up and down when using my mouse. After fiddling with the display controls to lock it back down it no longer displays anything through the VGA cable connected via the DVI adaptor to the monitor.
I am using a borrowed DVI cable to use the monitor, but I have to return that tomorrow. Tried permissions without any luck. Is there any fix for this problem so I can reuse the VGA cable without having to buy a DVI cable. Also, is there any solution to the floating screen problem?

Thanks. That solved the zooming problem. The monitor will still not work with the VGA cable though. Looks like I'll have to get a DVI cable. I had one when I got the monitor but now I can't find it.

Link sound and video in source monitor

Hi,
I'm using CS3. I have a mpeg video clip and a wav sound file on the timeline. The video / audio is not multiplexed. They are linked on the timeline. What I'd like to do is link the video and audio and go into the source monitor with the material.. so I can edit subclips etc from source monitor and put into a new video layer on timeline.
When I put both video and soundfile into source panel , edit video, and drag onto timeline only the video goes to timeline.
Is there a way to link them in the source monitor so both video and sound can be edited to timeiline?
Thanks
Rod

Rod,
I feel your pain. Many years ago, my cousin came to me to design a Web site for her trout ranch. Fine, no problem. I sent her the normal assignment list of questions: audience, their specific demographic, intent of Web site, history, services, etc., etc. Never got a thing back, but tons of e-mails on her ideas on how the site should look and the sites that it should link to. "OK, those are useful bits of info, but lets get back to the questions. I need those first." More sites to link to, and a couple of shreds of paper with ideas. "What's that on the bar napkins?" "Oh, that's the history of the ranch." I traveled to her ranch and shot for several days, and sent the select images on DVD for her to do a final edit. She sent those to Orvis, to use in a calender, without even credits! Luckily, I had not sent the chromes. She contacted me and asked if I had more stock shots, as Orvis wanted to save money on having someone shoot for them... Uh, not quite.
Finally got some useful ideas, and did a complete layout of the site. I kept pressing for the "Who We Are" material, and got more napkins and backs of envelopes with some real Joycean writings. I took all of that info to a copywriter friend, who owed me for some photoshoots. He worked for a few weeks, e-mailing me lists of questions. I FWD'ed those to cousin, and never got a reply. When he was done, I sent the copy to her - not even close. I asked her to write it all down in a TXT, or DOC file and send it to me. A few weeks later, I got legal sheet of lined paper with words that would have made Kafka ponder.
Still, I plugged along, and sent the complete layout. "Where's the canoe rental?" "No one ever mentioned canoe rentals." "Where's the horse boarding?" "What horse boarding? When did that get added?" On it went. I finally managed to do a mock-up of the site, which was now about 60 pages, and linked to over 300 sites around the globe. Well, now there was an espresso stand on the highway, a dog boarding concession and a half-dozen other additions. Plus, the interiors of all of the rooms had been redone, since I shot them. I built the changes in Photoshop, and "redecorated" each room, per the descriptions of those decorations.
Even then, the Who We Are was not right, and incomplete. After four months of work, I issued an ultimatum - I am done, until you get me the info requested in that first form, with a BTW - here's another copy. [Sounds a bit like Harm's 5th request for necessary info.]
A month elapsed, and then I got an e-mail. A friend of a friend had designed a wonderful site for her in trade-out. I went to the URL. It was a two pager with zero links to anything. It did have a Who We Are, but it read like Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
Next e-mail was "would you be my Webmaster and update my site weekly?" My answer was that because I was so busy, I was not the right person for that job. I taught her Acrobat, and did add a few PDF pages for her, but that was it.
In the end, it was hard labor and little fun. The site was passable, but nothing like she stated was necessary. I do not know if she ever updated any of the PDF's, but highly doubt it. I never even got a thank you note from Orvis either. Loads of fun. Remember my comment in another thread on the "Three Reasons for Taking an Assignment?" Could have been fun, but it was not.
I wish you luck, as I have "been there - done that," and it ain't no fun.
