TS1846 external video all frames

When I'm editing my video in Final Cut Pro 7, the external video Video freezes, I only hear the audio. To try to solve, I click on View> External Video> Refresh A /V Devices and nothing changes. Canvas in the program, the video runs normally.

Freezing or skipping during playback can be caused by any number of things, or by a combination of things:
1. Using media that doesn't work natively in FCP.  Video formats like H.264 (and many others) should be converted prior to importing.  Look in FCP's list of Easy Set Ups to see which formats are native to FCP.
2. Effects added to clips exceed your system's real time capabilities.  Render the Sequence fully then try playback again.
3. Storing media on the boot drive or a USB drive.
4. Having less than 20% free space on the capture scratch volume and especially on your boot (system) drive.
5. Playing the Timeline with the Canvas window set larger than 100% or "Fit to Window," whichever fits best without scroll bars.
6. Having too many overlays activated in the Canvas window (Range Check, Title Safe, etc).
There may be other contributing factors as well, but those are the most common causes.

  • External Monitor Viewing - ALL FRAMES Unchecked

    Hello FCP gurus
    I cannot get a video signal on my external monitor.
    For some reason I have lost the ability to check the ALL FRAMES option in the View Menu under External Video. Each time I click ALL FRAMES it stays in the OFF mode. I think this may be the reason for the external picture loss? I have also just relocated my edit suite so somewhere in the move I might have upset the 'workflow'. Not sure, can't see why? Before today I was getting an external picture no problem.
    The configuration I have is: A Firewire connection from the Hard Drive to a DV Cam (PD150). RCA Vid connector from the cam into a domestic TV.
    I have followed all of Shane's #8 Stock Answer and still nudda!!
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance!

    Heck, I don't know, but reading your question helped me to finally figure out how to get my external monitor working.
    Would it be okay to add to your question. Now that I have mine working the audio goes through the monitor instead of my nice Cerwin-Veg speakers. Is there a way to fix that?
    P.S. Have you tried a power down, hooking up the monitor and then coming back up?

  • Problem With External Video

    I am currently running Final Cut Pro 5.1.2 on OS X 10.4.8. I am having some serious issues trying to get Final Cut to display the timelines video out to my TV. I have my Canon GL2 connected via FireWire, and set it up so the DV input plays as the audio/video. It then goes out to the TV via some standard RCA jacks. I have done this before, no problem.
    The settings are as follows:
    External Video: All Frames
    Video Playback: Apple FireWire NTSC (720x480)
    Audio Playback: Audio Follows Video
    Sequence Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Capture Preset: DV NTSC 48 kHz
    Device Control Preset: FireWire NTSC Basic
    If I turn the camera off, the output shows it as 'missing'. I can import using the camera so I know its connected correctly with the FireWire. I can see playback on the TV if I watch the tape, so I know that too is connected correctly.

    Its funny you should reply, I was just looking through my posts, and was reading a response you left months ago when I asked a question, then I came back to this post and there you were again! Thanks, I fiddled with the camera for a bit and finally did something to get it to show up. Marked as solved.

  • External Video not working

    I'm running a dual 2.5 ghz G5 w/ 10.3.9, using FCPHD. I was editing last night and everything was perfectly fine. This morning I get up, and now my external video doesn't work. I'm using a Sony DCR-TRV17 minidv camcorder. The video clips run fine in the Viewer window, but the playback on the Timeline/Canvas window stalls. When I stop the video, that current frame comes up on the monitor, and when I hit play it stays on that frame on my monitor, while the video plays fine on the Canvas window. This is a commercial I got to get out this monday/tuesday. Thanks in advance for all help.

  • Canvas View Not Following External Video

    Hello, everyone. I've had this problem before, and somehow managed to figure out how to fix it, but I'm having it again, and - for the life of me - it's stumping the heck out of me and I haven't been able to figure out how to undo it.
    My external monitor is indeed playing the timeline sequence realtime, but the video on the Canvas is frozen. It only shows the frame I'm on when I stop playback.
    My caps lock button is NOT on (that's happened before and I undid it).
    View>External Video>All Frames
    Video Playback>Apple Firewire NTSC (720X480)
    Audio Playback>Firewire 410 [this is the audio device I use for playback]
    Show Multiclip Angles is UNchecked
    I'm stumped!
    It's always been a quick fix before - a button I accidentally pressed or unpressed - but I haven't figured it out this time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you very much,
    Javier Calderon

    Also, and by the way, this is a feature I've been working on for a few months now - so it's a problem that just arose on a project I've been sailing decently on for a while now. Additionally, it seems to be something I did to FCP itself - and not to the specific project sequence I'm working on, because I opened up two other sequences to see if they were working well . . . and those other sequences weren't either. The other sequences had the same issue - letting me, again, know that it's some issue with the overall FCP program settings perhaps as opposed to the specific project I'm on.

  • External Video Monitor shows still picture but won't play

    I have a sony minidv deck for external device control and a sony trinitron monitor. I am using FCP 6.0 and a imac intel core. It had been working fine, but now I can't get a playback. The monitor only shows the most recent still image of what was played. i'v replaced the firewire cord so that's not it. The deck palys dv tapes on the monitor fine. Any ideas what the problem could be?

    Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
    If you are working with DV, this is simple. First connect your computer to a camera or deck via firewire, Then connect the camera/deck to your TV/Monitor via RCA or S-Video.
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Go to the View Menu, choose > External video > all frames
    VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
    Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
    If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
    1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
    2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
    3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
    4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
    5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
    6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
    If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.
    If you are working with HDV footage, FCP 6 allows you to view this via firewire, but ONLY as downconverted DV. It won't look the best, but you can see it. To do this,
    If you need to view any format other than DV at full resolution, then you need to look into capture cards. Several standard definition and high definition models are available from www.aja.com and www.decklink.com. With these options you'll need a proper monitor to view full broadcast colors, but all models allow for realtime standard definition downconvert, allowing you to view HD on an SD monitor.
    The Matrox MXO is another option that is output only, but allows you to view your footage on an Apple Cinema Display at full broadcast quality.

  • Tiger upgrade: no external video

    Okay, what am I missing. I sure it's something obvious but nothing is presenting itself:
    I just upgraded to Tiger (10.4.3). Everything seemed to be functioning properly until I opened FCP (5). First thing it did was tell me the NTSC deck couldn't be found--even though the connections hadn't been altered prior to the upgrade--but worse, and more infuriating, I am unable to view the external monitor. I keep selecting External Video>All Frames but it just defaults right back to External Video>None.
    I hit Refresh A/V Devices, trashed prefs, repaired permissions numerous times, zapped pram. I don't know what else to do. Am I looking at a FCP reinstall?
    alan b

    Before you do the reinstall try this...
    * shut everything down.
    * power up your ntsc monitor
    * power up your camera/VTR (or what ever you are using to convert firewire dv to analog audio/video)
    * turn on your computer
    once everything is on, before you go to FCP, open up system profiler and verify that your camera/VTR shows up as a device on the firewire bus.
    Then fire up FCP and see what shows up.
    If this does not work, note that there have been a number of issues with QT7 and the system's ability to locate devices on the firewire bus. You may need to reinstall QT7. There USED to be a number of posts about this subject but with the reorganization of the forum, I'm not quite sure where they went. If it comes to this, we'll find the relevant information for you.

  • External Video Monitor with iMac possible.

    Dear friends,
    recently i have bought one imac 21.5" mid 2010 model. i am a film maker. i make TVC s, corporate docu, docu and short films. previously i worked hiring differnt post production studios but with growing volume of work i there was need for a personal edit setup. i have FC Studio 7 installed in my imav. i wanted to connect one external video monitor to facilitate the edit work flow. 1st i bought and connected a mini dp to vga adaptor and connected my 6 series samsung lcd tv with it. but the result was not satisfactory. now the lcd tv have become the second monitor and the system was working as dual monitor system. i wanted 1 video monitor as we get in pro studios. then i bought 1 mini dp to HDMI adapotor and connected it with the lcd tv throgh HDMI cable. fantastic. system took it automatically. Now i opened FCP, set a/v display to full screen, audio out to HDMI then view>external video>full frame. and u are through. now yuo can see the time line output in the LCD tv with sync audio. cheers. any better way to calibrate the second monitor?

    Thanks a lot for your help.
    If i consider an old model, maybe one with a DisplayPort input (late 2009 or mid 2010 iMac), is there a chance to connect the card with the DP input with a simple cable, or to verify the compatibility? The card has a DP output but many articles say that screen flickering or blue screen is the result...

  • External video doesn't play but only shows still frame (some times).

    When trying to view a clip or sequence on my external video monitor (NTSC via firewire through Sony converter box) and only for some of my projects, I cannot get the video to play. It displays a single frame and then updates when I stop playing a clip on the desktop. I've selected "all frames" in the External video option, but I cannot get it to play real time. This only happens with certain clips or sequences. Any ideas what's up?

    I've been having this same issue. I'm pretty sure it has to do with one of my sequence settings. I have no issues when I'm playing back an SD project but when I try to playback an HD project to an SD monitor I encounter thsi problem where it stays locked on the last frame I paused at. I'm using a Blackmagic Decklink Extreme HD and attempting to playback over composite.
    Thanks

  • External view defaults to off...will not let me view all frames

    In drop down View Menu,  I can't check "All Frames". It defaults to Off resulting in no playback on external Sony D1000 or NTSC monitor???

    Try selecting View->Refresh A/V Device.
    Also check to make sure that the External Video and Audio menus are properly set for Firewire output.

  • External Video: Show Current Frame

    This isn't hugely important but since starting with FCP I have wanted to be able to show external video whenever I'm parked on a frame - i.e. not moving video. I often want "All Frames" off because it can choke on the full resolution/framerate I'm trying to assess.
    For the longest time I thought External Video / Show Current Frame was supposed to do this but just wasn't working. It eventually occurred to me that you have to shift-f12 every time you want the output updated.
    Is there a way to tell FCP to "show current frame" whenever I pause playback or step through frames?

    Another strategy is to turn off 'mirror on desktop'. That reduces the processor overhead significantly which is very useful on low power machines yet you get all your images sent to the external monitor.
    The check box can be found in: Menu Bar>Final Cut Pro>Audio/Video Settings> A/V Devices>
    Scrubbing in the Canvas works and the current frame will show up in Canvas when you stop messing around. Canvas is only bypassed when you play the timeline.
    good luck.

  • External Video will only show black or current frame

    Hello,
    I am on an Intel Mac using FCP 5.1.2. This is my first time trying to view an external monitor using FCP, but I have done it in the past with Media 100 and Premiere.
    Right now, when I try to view the Timeline or Canvas, all I am getting is the black screen not what is currently on the timeline. If I go to View > External Video > Show Current, I will get the current image, but it just stays on that, no matter what is showing on the timeline or Canvas. If I double click a clip so it opens in the Viewer, it shows that clip and stays on that as a freeze frame. I can hear the audio through my external speakers just fine.
    So far I have done many searches on "external video" on this forum and looked up in all my manuals and Apple Training books, but no luck. Here's the list of all the things I tried.
    My setup: MacPro > Sony TCRDV8 NTSC camcorder via firewire > camcorder to TV via audio/video cables. My external speakers are hooked up to the camcorder.
    I have tried restarting FCP as well as rebooting my MacPro after connnecting everything, removed the tape from the camcorder, made sure it was on VTR.
    I have also checked all the suggested Audio/Video Settings, all the things under View, like External Video, Video Playback and refresh A/V devices.
    It seems odd that I can hear the video and see the current frame or other freeze frames, but it's not showing the motion on the timeline. Everything is rendered. Is my video camera too old for FCP?
    I probably should not spend any more time on this but it's making crazy, I keep thinking that if I try just one more thing I will figure it out.
    Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
    MacPro 2.66 8 GB RAM Final Cut Pro 5.1.2   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   A very old Sony TCRDV8 NTSC camcorder

    Thanks for your answer. The window hanging off is a good suggestion, but still didn't work... I also tried switching my windows to the standard setting and still nothing. I've tried the window size thing before but I tried again and no luck.
    In the meantime, I checked to see if Apple System Profiler sees my DV cam and it does, and even has the correct name and model number.
    I wonder if it has something to do with the viewer window, it's always stuck on the same thing? Right now it's one of my movie clips. I've tried dragging the sequence to the viewer but it doesn't help. I am missing some tiny little detail?

  • External Video - No longer plays video...? Only shows single frames

    Hey all - thanks for stopping by! I am hoping for help as soon as possible!
    So I've been doing fine on my project up until I did the FCS 2008-03 update today... ugh (I know I shouldn't have).
    I use 2 monitors; one for my timeline, etc. the other for full screen playback. It's worked swimmingly for the past month. Now, it will only play a single frame back - wherever my playhead is, generally. But takes a second to refresh.
    I have external video set to "all frames" and have refreshed the external devices, restarted, reverted to QT 7.5, etc.
    What can I do to get back to where it was working?
    A black magic card is installed but I'm not capturing anything right now. Will that still affect it?

  • Is there a way to view all frame thumbnails in a video layer?

    I'm aware of the "frame animation" option, but video layers are much more convenient. Ever since this addition Photoshop is nearly on par with TVPaint for drawn animation, but my only problem is that even when fully zoomed in I can't see my video layer frame by frame. Does anyone know if there is an option, script, or plugin to make this a reality? It's hard to know where to hold, insert, or remove a frame without being able to see the one coming up next, and even if I scrub through to see I constantly find myself second guessing that I'm in the right spot.

    You can flatter video into frames but then I do not think they will be playable. Digital Video is not like a frame animation or even like a movie reel of film.  There are actually   whole frames only every so often.  To be able stream video you need to keep the data rate low so video need to be highly compressed. So whole frame are the exception in between frames are partial frames the part that had motion the parts that changed.  To give you some idea if the size difference.  Animated Gif only support 256 colors.  I took a couple seconds from a cilp my wife shot with our canon 1D Mk IV.  1920x1080 with sound  I timed it down to two seconds.  and rendered it  as a h264 mp4 using Photoshop Video Preset High Quality.  The mp4 produced was around 6MB is size had beautiful Color and sound.  I then flattened the video into frame layers and was able to make a Frame animation. I save the frame animation all 58 frames 1920x1080 as an animated Gif the file was around 24MB the color awful and there was no audio.

  • Editing video in Photoshop - apply to all frame

    I'm editing some HD video in Photoshop.  I have a filter (Gaussian blur in an area selection) that I want to apply to all frames of the video.
    I can do it by selecting each layer at a time (it works, but painfully slow) but how do I apply the same filter to all layers at once?
    Also, sometimes I am working on a layer and by selecting it or turning view on or off (or something) all of a sudden, all of the animation is the same frame.  I don't know what happens, but I have to start over.
    Last question: what is "Propgate first frame?"
    Thanks

    You may find more productivity by applying this blur in your video editor.
