The Green Screen and Video Problems

Hello,
I've read through the issues and answers on this topic but some of the things are working and some not. For isntance, I was able to resolve one of my issues with some other fixes I had found through general online forums for the "green" screen which plays with only audio. It seems to be working for me on you tube but not on Facebook anymore alhtough Facebook videos worked the first time around when I rebooted.
What I did was go into my internet options and under accelerated graphics I ticked use software rendering instead of...
and under the security tab I ticked enable 64 bit processes in enhanced protected... Should the Enhanced protected mode be enabled as well then? Should I tick that option.
I also treid to do what the answers recommended...such as right clicking on the video in Facebook when it is playing and while I do get a pop up I get settings options or global settings and adobe flash player info...clicking on settings gives me options but none for the "display", only for my microphone, camera and storage. If I click on global settings, it takes me to flash player help. And last option I get my version of Adobe info, which is version 13.00.214. So no option to untick disable accelerated graphics cause I think I've done this in control panel already.
But now why it is working with youtube and not with Facebook videos I also tried to play some home videos like wmv files and other video files in my windows media flash player and there I get a black screen but still audio plays.
My computer is an HP Pavillion Notebook PC and it came with Windows 8.1 already installed. My Graphics Display adapter is an AMD Radeon R5 Graphics Card.
So what the heck do I do now. Should I install newer Adode Player? Even when unticking the accelerated graphis option, this is really not a solution to the deeper problem and issue, because then it slows down your graphics?
My computer is not even a week old and I hate having to always download fixes and constant updates and spend hours researching and trying to fix a problem that really should not occur to begin with. Why are there so many glitches with Windows? Is this a problem related with windows updates as well. Active X controls? Compatibility isuses with 64 bit processes. Should I use Firefox. I did that with my old HP which finally kicked the bucket and that is why I had to buy a new one. I had to replace my battery before even a year and my warranty battery did not last that long either and then the thing finally overheated and died. But I had lots of similar things happen before with last HP laptop so is it Windows or is it HP or is it browsers, players?
I am sorry if I am unloading on you...I don't mean too but it is just soooo frustrating as a consumer to have to always go through these kinds of things. I use my laptop for self employment so please help!!!!!
Thanks for letting me vent.. I would appreciate your help, thank you.

Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I am sorry you have experience any issues. I have looked into your issue with the Video issues.
Have you uninstalled Internet Explorer?
Have you tried Google Chrome?
It already includes Adobe® Flash® Player built-in. Google Chrome will automatically update when new versions of Flash Player are available. Adobe are on version 15. Here is a spot to update. This does have a link to Google Chrome as well.
Here is a link to common Flashplayer issues.
I would try a system restore as this would undo any changes that might have happened with a Microsoft update. Sometimes they have not finished or been installed on the Notebook.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks.

Green screen and video freezing while maximizing videos playing in iTunes?

After a year-and-a-half of seamless operation, iTunes started malfunctioning yesterday. When trying to play a video (either a TV show or a music video), the video will often freeze when I hit command-F to maximize. The audio keeps playing just fine. Sometimes I'm able to get the video running again by hitting escape and command-F a few times, and by hitting space bar repeatedly to pause and unpause. Before starting to work, iTunes displays a green screen for a half-second.
My system is at 10.5.8 and my iTunes is fully updated. My computer is an aluminum-unibody MacBook Pro 15".
I have tried turning the computer off for a while, reinstalling iTunes, and switching from discrete graphics to integrated graphics, all without any improvement. I doesn't happen every time I play a video or a TV show, but it does happen a majority of the time, and it often takes 10-20 seconds of fiddling to get the video to play.
Any ideas? I'm stumped.

I've been having the same problem as you Mitlov. This is one of the reasons I always get a bit leery about updating my current version of iTunes, iPhone, or iPod. Something always stops working amongst one or more of them. Two years ago I updated iPod and I remember it took a month before I could get the iPod to work again. If you hear about a fix for this problem (besides just buying Snow Leopard) please post it back in the discussions. There are a lot of people who will benefit from it!

HP Touchsmart 600 PC blue screen and video problems

Hi,
Just a quick bit about me before I get started. I am A+, Network+ and Security+ certified and have been working on computers for years. But this time I've run into something I haven't been able to diagnose and my friend doesn't want to format and reinstall windows on the machine. I've been working on a friends computer and its a HP Touchsmart 600 with Win 7 64bit. The biggest issue he is having is every few days it blue screens. The latest one was caused by ntoskrnl.exe ( nt+8f1b2 ). The majority of the blue screens have been ntoskrnl. I posted all the minidump files over on another forum and it was suggested Norton was causing the problems so I removed it but it hasn't solved the issue.
The other issue he is having is every now and then the screen gets blurry. He had been resetting the computer to fix this and I assumed it was a hardware problem. But it happened to me while I was looking at it last week and right after that I got a UAC control box that popped up for a program I had been installing and it was clear and when I clicked allow the entire screen cleared up and was just fine. I've updated all drivers on the machine and it has all the lastest windows updates. It doesn't have the latest touch screen software that is out. I believe it is version 4.0? He has the 3.0 version and he doesn't use the computer as a touch screen he uses a mouse and keyboard.
Any help or advice on this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Dan

Hello Alaric_Eisen:
Shut down your computer. Or just disconnect the power cord. Reconnect power cord if you used that method. Turn on computer and holp down on F-11 key this is your full recovery method. Your computer should start a full recovery to factory settings. If this fails then you know the hard drive is shot or memory chips are damaged. Then take your computer in for repairs. Good Luck I hope the full recovery does the trick. Oh it will tell you if recovery fails another screen will display with more options just click on dynastic if it is your hard drive massaged will be hard drive not excist. Means hard drive is not being detected. Send computer in for replacement of parts.

Hi,
Try a clean installation of the flash plugin/activeX as follows.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has reloaded, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.
If the above doesn't correct the issue, then try the following.
First of all, download and run the Shockwave uninstaller on the link below.
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/uninstall/win/sw_uninstaller.exe
After this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, download and install the latest version of Shockwave on the following link.
http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Again, after this installation, restart the notebook.

Cannot see video, I get green screen and can only hear the contents

I've unintalled flash player and adobe shockwave and re-installed it again but I am getting the same problem. Video is not working. I dont know what to do.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues, with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about yourwith the Video not working correctly or green. Try clicking on the green screen, in the tab named Local Storage and put 10 KB and the green screen should disappear. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating as the graphic driver could need updating. Have you tried another browser? This link will help you update your browser if needed. Let me know how this goes. Thanks.

I am creating a video using the green screen option- I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

I am creating a video using the green screen option in iMovie. I imported a picture for the background of the project and videotaped someone using a green screen. Is it possible to move the video of the person around so it is not blocking the picture behind it?

To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

Whenever I log into Facebook and someone has sent me a video I get a green screen and I can't see the video. Please help.

For some reason, even though I have advanced features checked, the menu with green screen and all those isn't popping up when I drag the video on top of another one.

Hi
I would trash - iMovie pref file - and re-try - sounds like this got faulty.
• Delete iMovie pref. file. iMovie pref. file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD) / Users / "Your account" / Library / Preferences
and is named. (one or more of these)
com.apple.iMovie.plist
com.apple.iMovie3.plist
com.apple.iMovie7.plist
com.apple.iMovie8.plist
com.apple.iMovie9.plist
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
and find
com.apple.iApps.plist
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this/these file/s out on to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
If You run Mac OS X.7 or more - then the Library in the User-account folder is invisibly and need to be set to be viewable. IT IS NOT in the Library on Root level (when opening MacintoshHD - first window = root level)
( It can be done like this: Open Terminal, then enter:
chflags nohidden ~/Library (exactly like this - space included)
Press return, then restart, and it will always be visible until the next major update, when you do the same thing again. )

How to fix iPad that has a green screen and lags when you try watching videos

How do you fix your iPad when it has a green screen and it lags when you try to watch videos, such as from YouTube?
I tried to watch YouTube on Safari but it does not work, and the app version of YouTube does not work either. When the video is playing, it will start to turn green, and it will lag.
Please, I would really appreciate it if you can help me, because I really want to watch videos again.
Thank you very much!

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear 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 it is most likely a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an apple store to have the device examined by a technician.

Ability to both use Green Screen and then resize the clip?

Imovie 10 - the Green Screen works great. Place one clip above the other and presto. But then if you want to shrink it and put it say on the bottom corner, there in no way. It looks like you can either use the Green Screen or the PIP but not both.
This is a problem as say clip on is of a field of buffalos. Clip 2 is you in front of a green screen. There is no way to alter the size of clip 2 to fit it into the herd. Clip 2 has the subject way too big. You would have to shoot it from an equil distance from the herd for the two clips to match up. If, after you Green Screen your clip you could then PIP in and adjust the size of the video it would be perfect.
Any suggestions or am I missing something?
And no, I am not bothering herds of buffalos, ....not since the accident anyway.

Thank you for your reply. I saw this solution on another thread and tried the following. Will go into what I found.
The green screen function will only work if the movie is on top of something else. Therefore, when you save it it is saving the file with the background behind it. I tried several.
Then if you import it into your main project, it contains that background and using PIP will certainly shrink it, but again, you can't green screen it....back to step one.
This solution you reference would work if the file contained the subject against a transparent background, but it doesn't, it contains whatever you had to use under it to get the green screen to work.
Sorry if I am missing something. Two days into this and can't believe it can't be done.

I was making a movie on iMovie, and the green screen wasn't working.

I was making a movie on iMovie, and was trying to use the green screen to make a split screen. I pressed on the green screen button, but the second clip didn't play next to the first, and only the audio played. I tried agian with some different clips, and only some of them worked. This hasn't happened before! I was just wondering why this would be happening and what I should do? (I am using iMovie '09)

Hi
YOU need to - in iMovie - Turn on Advanced Tools !
top row menu - with an Apple top left ---> iMovie ---> down to preferences ---> Here select to turn on Advanced tools .
Now it will work when You drop a clip onto another IN a MOVIE PROJECT ! (can not be done in Event's)
Next problem I had - was to get right clip onto the other - what was the Background and What was the Green screen - BUT just test - You only got two ways to try out.

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot?

Can Motion 5 replace a green screen and blue screen in the same shot? I would like to replace a green screen with one image, and a blue screen with another.

Fox gives a good example for keying green & blue (or any other color) from the same shot. I'd suggest doing a few things to get better accuracy.
First, the motion keyer always removes the color it detects the most of by default (blue/green). You can override this by setting the Strength parameter to zero, then use the Color sample tool to select the color you want. The advantage is motion will do a good job of targeting only the hue (color) that you want to remove and set an appropriate starting softness. It also will remove spill based on this color. Looking at Fox's example movie and the shot, I'd approach the same shot this way:
Remove the Blue
1. Apply the keyer and set the strength to zero.
2. Use the Sample Color tool and select the blue (or other color) to be removed.
3. Decrease the spill level (if needed). In Fox's example the spill from the blue glasses is going to be minimal, especially compared to the green screen, your shot may need different adjustments. Only de-spilling what you need to will give you more accurate color right away and minimize additional color correction that might be needed later.
4. Use the Color selection tools (Chroma wheel/Luma bar) to fine tune. Ideally you want a minimal tolerance, the inner selection, with a nice fall off, the outer selection. Try with the Scrub boxes setting first, then switch to manual if you need more control. Again see Fox's example.
Remove Green
It's the same as the blue, you could apply the keyed to the same clip or a parent group, at this point it's many user preference.
With these techniques you can remove any color from a shot or create a mask based on a color. BTW, as you are learning to use the keyer I'd highly recommend having the Color Selection open so you can see the graphs. These give you real time feedback as you make selections and changes with the Strength, Refine and Color selection tools. Watch what happens as you make selection or changes, sometimes the problem area is actually in the brightness not the color, or the softness may change more than the tolerance selection. Observing what is happening in these graphs will help you figure out wha to change and speed things up.

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.
