Thin Green Line

Hello all, I am trying to encode in QT Pro useing H.264 The source is a iMovie .dv ext so its 720 x 480 or something like that. When I use H.264 and size to 278 x 170 I get a one or two pixel green line down the right side! It sems the same in Squeeze also. I cant get rid of it! Any thourghts! Don H
Apple G52.0 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Wrong export size for a 4:3 file.
DV is 720X480 because of the shape of the pixels (rectangular). It is intended to be used in the similar NTSC DVD format.
The QuickTime equivalent would be 640X480 (square pixels). 320X240 would be half size. 240X180 should be you export size and your larger dimensions may explain (but not completely) the green line issue.

My MacPro 10.6.8 has a thin green line on the screen.

My MacPro is just over a year old now and I have a thin green line on the screen. I hooked it up to my TV and on the second window (the TV) the green line wasn't there. Whats the issue? How do I fix it?

From what you are saying, sounds like a line of pixels out on the display.
Did the TV use the same connector on the computer? If not, swap the display with the TV. If you still have the line, it is one of the items that you swapped across.
Have you tried connecting the display to another computer? If so, is the line still there?
What kind of display is it? Can you swap the data cable and try a different cable, could be a cable issue.
Any adapters in use? If so, try swapping those to rule them out as a problem.

Photoshop CS4 - When I pullled up a file, JPEG logo someone sent to me, the screen has cross thin green lines over it. What is that? How do I remove it?

JPEG files are not layered files they are just image files so the green lines are a part of that file.
Usually cross lines are added to prevent anyone from using the file without proper rights, its a way of safeguarding the artwork.
You have to ask the owner of the file to remove the lines for you.
hope this helps
thanks

How do I avoid or get rid of thin green line bordering my video in Compressor?

Hello!
This is my work flow:
Edited an 18 minute 1920 x 1080 ProRes video on FCP 7, exported a master video file ProRes 422 self-contained QT movie, sent to Compressor (tried Best DVD 90-minutes and ProRes codec settings) to prepare files for a SD DVD in DVD Studio Pro.
My issue: I am getting a THIN GREEN LINE bordering my entire video on the Compressor file.
My master video file is perfect, no green line, however once it's gone through Compressor (tried both Best DVD 90 minutes and ProRes codec settings) the video has a thin green line that I can see in the DVD Studio Pro preview and simulation. The burned DVD also has it.
I would like to author the work in DVD Studio Pro as it is a looping video work for exhibition so I have the video file 6 times on the DVD rather than have it re-start at first track every time.
Seems like it has to do with downscaling the 1920 x 1080 video to SD for DVD.
Searched the web and there doesn't seem to be a clear explanation for it besides this discussion about 16s but doesn't clarify in regards to the problem downscaling to SD DVD.
Thanks so much to anyone with the magic answers!

PAL - 1080 / 576 = 1,875
NTSC - 1080 / 480 = 2,25
DVDs are standard definition, so your original file has to be compressed to those pixel dimensions. As you can see above the number of HD horizontal lines don't divide by an even number into SD horizontal lines, so you get partial lines left over that the TV system doesn't really know how to interpret - that's the green bit.

I bought Lion from App Store recently and installed it successfully on my MBP. After few days when I left my machine running Lion from morning till evening I see a thin green line on the left side of the screen. I tried searching the web and tried few options like restarting the machine, resetting NVRAM and doing Apple hardware test (By pressing D while the machine boots). The Apple hardware test did not detect any problem. The green line still exists.
Please suggest me how to get rid of green line.

Hi Brent,
I took it to apple service center. They did some checks and found out that the display has gone bad and they replced it with new one.
Did you try connecting other display (may be Apple Display or Dell monitor) using an adapter? In my case the Apple service center people tried doing it and the display was appearing just fine without any green line. So the fault was in my MBP display.

Thin green line at the bottom of my QT exports from FCP

Hello,
I have exported a series of QT vids from FCP. Each QT video file exhibits a thin (2 px)green line at the bottom of the player window. I can't seem to narrow down what is making this line appear. Can you please offer some suggestions? Remedies?
Thanks so much in advance.
Utilizing:
Quicktime Conversion
optimized for broadband Large
H.264 codec for HD footage
Custom 660x377 frame size (varied to see if that would fix the issue, did not)

So you only see it in QT Fullscreen mode?
The reason I'm pressing this is that I've seen green lines LIKE this with issues resulting from what seems like a very hot video card.
Usually they 1) aren't that crisp and 2) don't always show up each time you view it.
And this is AFTER compression, yes? For sure this isn't on the original material? Make sure you set your canvas in FCP to 100% size to see all of the lines.

Media Encoder adds thin green line on FLVs

I am using Adobe Media Encoder CS5 to convert .mov files to .flv files. When I render the files a thin (~2 px) green line appears on the bottom of the video.
When I used Media Encoder to format into F4V the line does not appear. See image below for example. Both files were encoded using the same Instance of Media Encoder and the same source file.
Things I have tried
I have tried encoding without resizing the video (Native 902x507)
I have tried resizing to make sure video dimensions are divisible by 4 (904x508)
I have used both CBR and VBR have same effect
I have changed bitrate to higher with same effect
Note:
The source video does not have the green line
System: Windows 7 64x - 8GB RAM
Source video
format:*.MOV, codec:H.264, size:902x507, framerate: 29.97 fps, Data rate: 6.82 mbits/sec
Any suggestions on how to remove this?

I set up some quick tests and found that yes, transcoding a 902x507 H.264-encoded QuickTime file to FLV with AME 5.0.2 causes a green horizontal line. It occurs at line 507, but doesn't go all the way across. If I use the Crop option to trim off the bottom pixel of the source, the green line still occurs, but this time at line 505. The difference is due to the scaling that AME is adding to the render process when Crop is turned on.
A little sleuthing reveals:
1) A 902x507 QuickTime file encoded with the Animation codec does not cause this problem. This tells me the cause of the problem is in the H.264 decode, not the FLV encode. It probably doesn't show up in the F4V encode because F4V is H.264 with a Flash wrapper, thus not much transcoding is actually being done. Transcoding to other formats has the same problem, though.
2) The output dimensions of the FLV are 912x512. This is despite that AME shows the settings for the export as 902x508 (or 902x506 with the pixel trimmed from the bottom). The FLV exporter appears to be rounding up to the nearest value that is evenly divisible by 16. This is a bug, but has already fixed for a future release of AME.
I had success using the Crop option to trim the size of the source file to 896x496 (the next multiple of 16 down). Take 3 pixels off both the left and right, 6 pixels off the top, and 5 pixels off the bottom. I did not have success by changing the output dimensions directly to 896x496; this is because resizing doesn't trim pixels, it pads where necessary and retains all source pixels, including the "bad", odd-numbered line that is causing the problem. Trimming them via crop is the only way to avoid having AME attempt to transcode those pixels.
Otherwise, I recommend you work around the problem by:
A) Going back to the media source and exporting a file that doesn't have an odd-numbered dimension.
B) Transcoding the file in another application to a different format (ex.: QuickTime with a different codec) or a non-odd-numbered dimension before using AME to transcode the file to FLV.
I am curious- what is the source of this QuickTime file, and why 902x507? Those are unusual dimensions.

7th Gen Ipod Nano-thin green lines

My nano has 2 green lines in it down the screen, restarted and rebooted...Still there!!
Help!!!

Hello NikPayne,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you have isolated the Podcast playback issue to your iPod nano. As frustrating as playback issues can be, there are some good troubleshooting steps I would recommend. Please use the attached article for information on troubleshooting your iPod nano. Please let me know if the issue continues after you have worked through the steps. Also, if the issue continues, does this happen with only Podcasts or with Music or other audio playback as well?

The Not-So-Thin Green Line

Just started working in iDVD 08 on a brand new PowerBook. I've got 13 Quicktime movies (Motion-JPEG A) divided between two sub-menus using the Revelations Theme.
The Quicktime movies are 720 x 486, and I changed the Theme's aspect ration from 16:9 to 4:3. When I played the finished DVD back on a TV screen, and in Apple's DVD player, I notice a green line that appears under the video. Not the menus or sub-menus. Just the movies. The line does not appear in the Quicktime file. It is not visible when previewing the DVD in iDVD before burning it.
I also tried switching the aspect ratio back to 16:9, and I still get the same problem.
What causes it and how can I fix it?
Thanks in advance!

The video content is 4:3. I confirmed this with my editor (these were output from an Avid).
Yes 4:3, but.........
For NTSC, the iApps are really designed for the NTSC DV 720x480 miniDV standard. There is a 'pro' NTSC D1 size that is your 720x486. Both are considered 4:3, but have different intended end uses.
I suspect the Avid can output either.
I realize that many people use the iApps for 'pro type' commercial applications, but they have many limitations that affect such use. Apple has the Final Cut Pro suite of applications that have all the 'bells and whistles' that pro/commercial users need.
but the other two were 740 x 480.
Were they really 740 x 480? That could cause a problem.

Webcam has a green line through it.

I regularly use Facetime and Skype and use my webcam but I have noticed thin green lines appear in the same place when I view the camera image, what happening?
Here are the specs on my mac if they make any difference
And here is a screen shot of what the green lines look like (I put a piece of paper behind it so you can see them and put red rings so you know where to look)
It doesn't make a huge difference but I would like to know if there is a way to get rid of them because I have onlt had the iMac for a few months and they have already appeared.
Thanks, James.

Okay, thanks for the help, much appreciated, I will look into it, might call up apple to see if they have had any other complaints about it and if they can do anything about it. It isn't too much of a problem at the moment as my video quality isn't high enough for other people to actually notice just worried about it getting worse in the future.
Thanks for the hep though

Green line along caption

I have an imported Illustrator file I am using as a backdrop for a kind of logo behind a caption (like the artwork along the bottom of a news channel). I keep getting a thin green line extending along the top of the illustrator art. It doesn't seem to matter how I try to render it into WMV. Any ideas what could be causing this?
http://www.washingtonpolicy.org/images/Video/OutrageousLearningReception_QnA.wmv

That appears to be a keyline in the lower-third. Have you studied the file closely in AI? If it is not in the AI file (look very closely), then it's likely an artifact from the rasterization process in PrPro.
Also, I get better results first Opening AI files in PS and then doing a Save_As .PSD for Import into PrPro. AI files are handled, just not so well. The rasterization in PS has always done a better job for me, than that in PrPro.
Good luck, and let us know what you find out,

Transcode settings gives me output with green lines

Hi everybody
My problem is when I transcode a DV AVI file in encore CS3 what I get in the end is the video with a small green line in the bottom part of the screen, this only for the first few minutes!
I tried out different kind of settings but green lines turned out all the same.
I am working on a dvd 9, because I have a lot of extras that won't fit in a dvd 5.
Can someone help me?
Thanx a lot

writing from Rome

Thought I was the only one with this issue- i guess not-I got almost same issue- a little different though, the first time I imported an mpeg 2 DVD file (exported from Premiere Pro CS4) into Encore CS4 I got green FRAMES (about 2 or 3) at the beginning of the video upon creating an encore timeline and placing the mpeg 2 DVD clip in it.
What I did to try to fix this was- I had recently uninstalled Adobe Production Studio premium- so I can install the new updated suite without the old suite hanging things up- so I uninstalled CS4 and reinstalled the old suite- and after that I again installed CS4 suite- and that seeemed to work. On my next couple DVD exports in CS4 everything was fine, but on my last project I did notice a thin green line at the very bottom of my video in the Encore monitor window. This green line wasn't burned onto the DVD disc but it was troubling nonetheless- I will check it again more thoroughly now that I see this post
please note that I checked the mpeg 2 files in windows media player before importing into Encore and there was no issues from the exported m2v file (I don't multiplex)- it did not have the green line or frames- only when played back within Encore CS4 monitor (and preview) window would this issue surface
I will post a bug report to Adobe- this should NEVER be an issue
prior to CS4 I exported and burned hundreds of DVD's with older versions of Premiere Pro and Encore and never once had this problem

Weird Green Line

In the Time Line where I edit video there is a thin green line between the time listed in the Time Line and all the video footage I'm working on below it. It *does not* go all the way to the end, AND all of my video stops at that point and starts up again at the beginning, audio and all.
What is this green line and how can I make it go away?

As Rick says, the green bars show the RAM cache. For more information, see the
"RAM and disk caches" section of After Effects Help.

Thin green vertical line in middle of built-in display screen

This green line just appeared after using this MacBook since Oct 2008 purchase. Does not appear on the boot up screen, but at log-in and beyond. Please reply with any thoughts or suggestions. Randall

I think you may have the same Mac I do, which is actually a late 2007 model. If so, it could have the NVIDIA problem:

If you have access to an Apple Store, they have a test they can run for this.
Good luck!

Ipod Nano 7th Generation with thin green, dark blue and light blue lines on the screen?

I have an Ipod Nano 7th Generation. It was brand new about a year ago, but roughly 5 months in the screen had a single dark blue line running down the screen, this has now developed into 4 light blue lines running horizontally and another green line running vertically.
I think it may be something to do with the pixels and the screen - something to do with the fact that they display red, green and blue colors?
I have restarted the ipod but to no avail. I have tried getting into the system settings as well but cannot seem to manage to access them.
Any help?

Take it to the Apple Store to get it fixed.
