Trying to view playback on an external monitor

I need help understanding why I can't view my playback correctly.
I've tried what I think is all troubleshooting possibilities.
I am running FW out into an XL2 to a NTSC monitor.
View/External Monitor/All Frames is selected and I have tried an array of different preference settings.
I have tried all things in this thread:

Any help would be appreciated.

g5 Mac OS X (10.4.7) FCP 4.5

I to am having trouble viewing playback on an external monitor.
I just upgrade from FCP 4 to FCP 5. When I was using FCP 4 I had it set up that all I need was to click on the clip and it would be displayed on the external montior.
In FCP 5 the only setting I can find for external monitor all through firewire.
On my powerbook G4, I want to use the svideo out to an external monitor.
I have gone through at there setting with no luck. Is there any setting that I am missing to get a signal to my external monitor?
What do I need to do to get this fixed?

plug in your external monitor via the s-video and confirm its been recognised (turn it on ... you should see a second OS X desktop dislayed on it). go to your apple menu > system preferences and choose the displays pane. make sure you choose a display size that best represents your external moniters dimensions, and a refresh rate that your monitor supports.
now, with all that done, launch FCP ... it should recognise your 2nd display, which should appear in the list at View > Video Playback
do you see a list of playback devices there? if not, tell us what you do see in that list. try choosing View > Refresh A/V Devices, and then check the list again

Viewing interlaced footage on external monitor (HD Prores)

Hi,
I have a project that I would like to watch on my Flatscreen LCD TV. My project is prores 422 1080i 50Hz (PAL) and so is my footage. My TV is connected to my Imac and set to 1080i 50Hz. FCP is set tot view all frames on external monitor (full screen) but the footage doesn't playback smoothly and still shows that it's interlaced (the TV doesn't process the footage as being interlaced). Is there a way to send an interlaced signal to a TV from FCP?

When in Mastering mode what the MXO driver is doing is interrupting the normal output of your Graphics card and instead sending uncompressed YUV + embedded audio from the application out via the graphics port (ie subverting the normal operation of the graphics card). The MXO then passes that output to its own video output ports for your monitoring pleasure, plus works some magic to translate the signal back as a color critical DVI reference signal for monitoring on a supported DV display.
... Or at least, thats my guess. But as you say, a rough understanding of the process does not make it any cheaper. Sorry about that.
Cheers
Andy

Playback on an external monitor

Hi all,
Trying to help a friend out he has final Cut Express HD and wants to view his work on an external monitor but I cant get it to work.
Setup:
Mac mini
FCEHD firewire to sony DCR-TRV353E, rca to Tv.
I have the camera in vcr mode, have gone to View>Video Out>Apple FireWire PAL. Easy setup is set to dv-pal.
Have restarted fcp and refresh A/V Devices, tried the QuickTime solution (re-install).
The one thing I did not try was to trash preferences, will try when I go back tonight.
Also when going through all the posts, I see mentioned View>External Video>All frames. I'm use to working with FCP 5 and I know you have this option in that version but don't remember seeing it when I was looking at fcehd last night. Does this option exists for express?
Any help would be fantastic.

Play your sequence and see if it appears in the
camera's viewscreen. I've heard that some PAL cameras
do not support FireWire pass through, because of some
silly VAT regulation or other. Make sure your camera
supports both DV in as well as out. I can't find any
information on the web for a camera with that model
number.
Can't see the vision in the viewfinder, the video camera does have I/O Firewire, and support pass through. I also had my camera there and it didn't work either, needless to say I know mine does work!
Thanks for you help so far.

Cannot view high quality on external monitor - Prores 422?

I am working on a music video and trying the Prores 422 codec for the first time. When I view the clips from the viewer in Final Cut pro I can insert in and outpoints as normal and watch the clips on my external monitor in full quality and that is all good (full quality and full screen 1080P).
But when I drag the clip into the timeline it becomes green. When I view the film on my external monitor now the resolution drops a bit and the quality looks coarse. Then I render it, but the same result occur (bad qality during viewing og the external monitor). I have managed good preview quality before (working with full quality, although that was from another camera and with a different codec, but still 1080P). I am using a laptop / Macbook Pro, 2.5 GHZ intel with 4GB of ram and an esata external drives + additinal FW 800 drives externally.

I did encode with Clipwrap (Prores 422 and for audio Convert Audio to LPCM). It seems Final Cut Pro does not recognize the settings as the sequence settings were to low.... as you said.
I tried changing the sequence settings to Prores 422 1920x1080 / 50i, with no change (it seemed like).
The camera I was shooting with is the Panasonic SD700 which shots at 50i (60 in the us).

Anyone having issues with playback on an external monitor in the new CC 2014?

So Premiere has updated its little self on my mac and now won't work with my external monitor via HDMI or Apple TV. Works absolutely fine the rest of the time but as soon as I try and get external playback to work it crashes.
Is anyone else having this issue / know a fix?
Thanks!

per Lightroom and Creative Cloud FAQ
Lightroom must be installed to your local drive and can't be installed to custom location like other Creative Cloud apps. Lightroom always installs to the default location and disregards any preference you select for a custom location. This behavior is as designed.

Viewing the Source on external monitor

Hello
I and using Premiere Pro 6 on a Mac Pro with a Decklink Extreme HD card.
I can view the Program on the external monitor through my Decklink card without a problem but when I switch to Source monitor I can't.
I regularly did this in Final Cut Pro for clients to see the rushes on the big screen but can't seem to on PP6.
Also, being new to PP and learning the shortcuts, is there a keyboard command to switch between Source and Program monitor ( it was Q on FCP )
Any help really appreciated
Thanks
Paul

What's your source footage?
I have a decklink card and it outputs fine from the source to grading monitor. The one thing it doesn't deal with is media that the monitor can't handle, so anything I have that is 50 or 60p doesn't show up because my monitor can't handle anything over 50i. But as soon as I put it into a 50i timeline it displays fine.

Playback on a external monitor with HDMI

Hello
Im new to CS 6, and I have looked all over this forum but cannot find the answer to the question. I would like to have a playback monitor be a second computer that we can send lower thirds to using premiere (I know its not a perfect system but it should work for us). My problem is that in the Premiere doesnt seem to regognize the computer. But windows regognizes it as a external monitor just fine. The computer were sending it too has a Black Magic Intensity Pro with an HDMI in and out. I hope im not missing something obivious.You guys have helped me out before so im hoping you can do it again.
Thanks
Jamie

Sorry ...I dont understand your requirement

Playback video on external monitor

HI all - I'm running OS X 10.6.8 on a Mac Pro with 2 monitors and working with FCP 7. One monitor is an Apple Cinema monitor and the other is a Sony. I've run video playback before, but now as I attempt to playback video from the timeline in my 2nd monitor I only see a still frame from where the play head is when I press play and it changes to the end frame when I press stop. The settings I have for video playback seem the same but when I press play I hear the audio progress but the video stays stuck on a single frame. (I do have all frames selected in VIEW_EXTERNAL VIDEO drop down menu) Any ideas what went wrong? Thanks for taking the time

Thanks for taking a minute to get back to me about this monitor situation. I'm afraid to change the settings again - i tried that and lost my last WIP sequence, so I'm going to be super cautious here. these are the setting i have on the project if you wouldn't mind taking a look and letting me know what you think I'd greatly appreciate it:
original footage:
EASY SETUP
TIMELINE I'M TRYING TO PLAYBACK SETTINGS:
RENDER CONTROL SETTINGS:
AND FINALLY MY VIEW SETTING:
Do these all look like they line up to you?

Viewing HDV on an external monitor

Have read some previous posts on this. I have a Sony GV HD 700 deck and using a Sharp 19" HDTV as my monitor. Can log and capture fine . . no issues. But can't view while editing. Need a capture card. Previous suggestions referred to a Black Magic Intensity card. That will run about $450-$500 here in Canada. Heard that I may be able to get by with a monitor card. Any input or suggestions? Am using a Canon XH A1 and expect to be using only that format (tape) for quite awhile as I'm retired and this has become more of a hobby business than a revenue producer.
Appreciate any suggestions.

The Intensity won't work for you. In your specs you list a Dual 1.8Ghz G5...that is a PCI or PCI-X machine. The Intensity is PCIe only...that is the latest intel macs or last line of G5s only. So that is out.
Your other options are the matrox MXO that connects to a DVI port on your computer, or older Decklink capture cards (AJA is out as that is pricy).

CS5 Playback Settings grayed out and no longer can set playback on external monitor.

I like to view my projects while editing on an external monitor but the Playback Settings are grayed out. I've done all my prior projects with external monitor display enabled with no problems and can go back to a prior projects completed and view them using an external playback monitor. For some reason, the Playback Settings on my latest project are grayed out and I'm not able to set Desktop Video Display During Playback.
The last project worked on was about 3 months ago. Last week, I started working on two new projects and noticed that I wasn't able to set playback to my external monitor. All my devices are hooked up and I can review older projects on the external monitor but can't set two new projects to use display on the external monitor.
Anyone have any ideas?
Problem solved. My fault.
The Sequence Preset Settings selected must support the device the external monitor is connected to. In my case, IEEE 1394 firewire. I corrected the new project to the correct Sequence Settings and can now view playback on the external monitor.

"The Desktop Video 9.7.5 software update allows users to take advantage of many new features in the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop applications such as powerful new editing timelines and shortcuts and audio mixing with Adobe Premiere Pro® CC and new creative and visual effects tools with Adobe After Effects® CC."
So everything should be covered on that front. And as I listed, I was getting playback out of AE CC, so I feel it is solely an issue in Premiere. That was worth checking out though since CC is so new. Thanks for replying.

Viewing ipad1 on external monitor

Hi,
I realize I cannot "mirror" everything I see on my ipad1 on an external monitor. I'm able to view videos on my external monitor using my VGA adapter, but the video is not displayed on my ipad at the same time. Is this possible for videos?
Thanks!
~Frank

Different devices you're using. The VGA is for the basic normal projector, while the HDMI is primarily on HD TV sets. I'm sure there are some HDMI projectors out there, but the vast majority are VGA. (One of the funnier moments of the iPad2 keynote was Jobs describing all the teachers mirroring on the flat screen TV's in their classrooms - since then I've gone to a number of educational technology conferences and meetings, and have yet to find a teacher with a flatscreen instead of a VGA projector ).
I believe the VGA can't output the full HD image, while of course the HDMI can.

Color Corrector's Frame Viewer Split Not Showing Up On External Monitor

Kind've a long title - sorry - but . . . here's my question:
Why am I not able to see the Frame Viewer's split on my external monitor?
A further, more detailed explanation of the problem:
I recently purchased Ripple Training's Color Correction with Andrew Balis. It's very, very imformative and I think will help a lot when it comes time to begin color correcting the feature I'm working on. The section I'm on shows the Frame Viewer tab in the Tool Bench window that presents itself when one opens Color Correction under the Arrange area. In other words, Arrange>Color Correction sets up your windows for color correcting with your Viewer, Canvas, and Tool Bench windows aligned from left to right. When one opens up the 3 Way Color Corrector on a clip and makes a change in the clip, the Frame Viewer tab in the Tool Bench window will show a split screen where on one side you'll have your clip with the color correction you just did, and the other side un-color corrected. Isn't this (split) image supposed to show up in your external monitor just as the images in the Canvas and the Viewer?
That doesn't seem to be happening on my external monitor.
I'm not sure if this problem/issue I'm having is related to the muticlipl issue I posted in an earlier thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1330596&tstart=0
perhaps.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Javier Calderon

Ahhh, Shane. So it's as simple as that? So then there's nothing wrong with my setup or my external monitor? FCP's just not designed to show the Tool Bench's Frame Viewer image in your external monitor? Wow . . . Well that answers that then I guess. And you're right . . . that IS indeed kind've lame . . .
Thanks.
Javier
. . . um . . . doesn't that kind've defeat the purpose of proper color correction then (regarding the Tool Bench's Frame Viewer anyway)? If the only place you can see your color corrected Frame Viewer split images is on a monitor that's NOT suited for color correction? Anyway . . . just a thought . . .

Color shift in external monitor during playback

Hello,
I've been having an issue recently with HD playback to my external monitor. This is happening both in 720 and 1080 timelines. When playback is stopped, the image color looks correct both on the Mac and on the external monitor. But when I play the timeline, there is a slight color shift in the external monitor towards green. This color shift does not happen on the mac monitor during playback. This happens with rendered media, as well as media direct from the clip that does not need rendering. Exported videos do not have this issue. Any idea what may be happening?
I have a Mac Pro, 2.66 Quad with 8GB Memory. With Kona3 card connected to a Panasonic BT-LH2600W HD monitor. Kona3 is connected to monitor via HD-SDI. With Final Cut Pro 6.06 and Mac OS 10.5.8.

Type of footage you are using? What sort of hard drives it is stored on? Those would be good details to have too.

Qosmio G30 - black screen on external monitor

Qosmio G30 (PQG32E) running Vista Home Premium, NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600 driver, 7.15.10.9813
I cannot get a picture on an external monitor (tried two different monitors). Specifically:
'Windows Mobility Center' will recognise that a monitor is connected
'NVIDIA Control Panel - Change Display Configuration' will recognise the external monitor ('Select the displays you would like to use' shows 'Laptop Display + Sony SDM-HS73', which is the plugged-in ext monitor)
but no matter what configuration I try, using Fn+F5 or Change Display Configuration, I cannot get anything but a (backlit) black screen on the external monitor.
The monitor is receiving a video signal correctly: when turned off under a laptop-only Fn+F5 setting, it shows a 'no signal' warning, but when turned on again I just get black.
I have tried changing resolution settings for the external monitor. They exactly match the monitor's native resolution. Still nothing.
Tried 'Clone' mode and 'Dual View' mode.
Tried various different orders of switching the laptop and monitor on, plugging and unplugging, etc.
Have installed latest driver from this Toshiba site (as above). Have NOT tried installing any other driver from the NVIDIA site, since it warns to use Toshiba's - but is that worth a try?
The laptop's own screen and all other aspects of video are fine.
It has worked ok in the past (I think before I did the upgrade to Vista, when it was still on XP).
Do I just wait for another driver update from Toshiba, and perhaps Vista SP1?
I'm really hoping this is not a hardware issue, since the monitor is recognised etc....
Jonathan

What port did you use?
The external monitor (analog) port or the D-video out port?
As far as I know if you have used the external monitor (analog) port then you should choose the Analog display in the nVidia -> current display
Then you could use the button FN+F5 to switch between the both displays.
