Upgrade causes graphic distortion and pixelation.?

Hello
After doing the 10.0.1 upgrade my footage is discoloured and pixelated (not subtle, blue sky is black, blue water is pixelated red black yellow....mess). Has anybody had similar experiences. The footage looks fine in the event browser and in the timeline, but once the mouse is placed over a clip in the events browser, at that position the image/graphics becomes horribly pixelated an discoloured. Also though the timeline thumbnails look fine, once play is engaged the viewer shows this very same pixelated colour distortion. I have only 'converted' one short project (almost finished...maybe not) to the new 10.0.1 format but as a test I also tried unused footage in a new project with the same results. Not so much of an upgrade it seems. Being a smart whipper snapper i held on to the original FCPX , which may or may not be a good thing.
Any assistance would be very helpful and save me a whole whack of work, and deep pondering.
Regards
Krzysztof
Hello again
Just a quick note to say that though the footage is a mess with colour distortion and pixelation abounding, upon export the footage returns to it's original state. This does not help with regards to the editing process, but at least the footage is ok.

Negative. The project is a touch heavy on effects, transitions and the such, but even disengaging the effects does little to resolve what looks like corrupted artifacting.
Here is a little screen shot example of what i speak of:

  • Unpredicted image distortion and Pixel Bender support

    Hi!
    I'm running my very simple Pixel Bender filter that replaces colors around the image (inverts pixels). Running on various graphic cards I got sometimes unpredictable results (FP10, Flash), when running this filter on a big number of images (image sizes are 1000x200 pixels).
    Images got distorted - the example is included.
    I can't find the exact case when it happens, but I think it may somehow connected with GPU drivers. Sometimes I got a correct image, and sometimes not on the same graphic card.
    Is there a way to force a filter to use CPU instead of GPU? And is there a function in Flex to detect if the Pixel Bender is supported on a current graphic card and turn it off?

    Sorry, I was a bit wrong describing what's happening. I'm running an AIR application (on Windows).
    I'm running a filter on BitmapData with applyFilter (checking if it is not null, before the run). The image size is about 1000x200 or 2000x200. There are about 300 images which are processed in a loop. Here's a piece of my code:
                    var invertColorShader:Shader = new Shader(new InvertColorKernel() );
                    var invertColorFilter:ShaderFilter = new ShaderFilter( invertColorShader );
                    var point: Point = new Point(0,0);
                    for (var i:Number=0;i<_imagesArrayCollection.source.length;i++)
                            bitmapData = (_imagesArrayCollection.source[i].imageBitmap as Bitmap).bitmapData;
                            if (bitmapData != null && bitmapData.width>0)
                                bitmapData.applyFilter(bitmapData, rect, point, invertColorFilter);
    Some times people running my application experience the unpredicted images distortions I have shown above. The configurations range from desktop computers to notebooks , and the above behaviour is random, still cannot find the exact case.
    Is there a way in AIR to find if Pixel Bender uses GPU or CPU and force it to switch?

  • Firmware Upgrade causes severe slowness and Hangs

    Has anyone else encountered this problem? I did do the firmware upgrade, and that caused slowness in responsiveness (followed immediately by that spinning wheel). In some cases, it completely hangs. At this time, I also tried to VNC into it, and it wasn't listening. It looks like GUI and network connectivity got hosed. This happens at least 10 times today.
    Any suggestions?

    spingineer,
    I haven't seen the firmware update (done 2x) alone cause the problems that you're mentioning. In fact, I didn't notice a thing after running it. I DID notice issues when I ran all the updates (machine fresh out of the box and then everything at once). You machine shouldn't be any slower. Make sure you have enough free space on your drive.
    The obvious, and often underused, diagnostic tool is to create a new user account and see if the issues persist there. If not, then look to what's running in your login items and your applications. You may just need to repair permissions, but sometimes it helps to verify or repair the disk.
    As to the network connectivity. I'd say it's basically a given that a lot of minis aren't good citizens.
    What I see is contention. It's like the machine thinks 'oh, someone else is using the connection so I'll back off a bit then try again', even if nothing else is on at all. It could be partially hardware, there are changes in the machines; but it might be something that can be solved w/ modifications to the stack. It's almost like a feedback loop. The more you use the connection the more it thinks it is competing w/ other machines for access and the slower it becomes. Try the usual, zap the pram, repair permissions, etc. There's a good link if you use search to a tutorial that may help you w/ some network connectivity issues on the mini. (moving out system configuration, promoting your primary connection to the top, using the assistant, rebooting and zapping the pram).
    As easy as it seems to look at the firmware as the source of the problems, I haven't seen that as the foundation issue for either of the difficulties you are experiencing with your machine.
    Hopefully a few simple resets and permission repairs etc will remedy the issue.
    Good Luck,

  • Mavericks Upgrade Caused Itunes error and won't open now

    I was using the current version of itunes 11.2.1 just fine on my macbook pro (2009) until that same day I upgraded to Mavericks. Now Itunes tells me I need to be in 64 bit. I was indeed already operating in 64 bit though prior to upgrade.  I looked at the Get Info on my Itunes as the error message suggested but the 32 bit box option is NOT checked.
    I went into my system report and looked at the various apps I have that used either 64 bit or 32 bit options.  Some were indeed using 64 bit, however the Itunes report showed:
    iTunes:

    I transfer all of my sheet music onto my Ipad Onsong App via Itunes on the mac when I sync.  I am dead in the water right now
    I have searched High and Low online trying to find a solution.  Any suggetions as to how I can proceed? 
    And NO.... I don't use Time Machine (my bad... but too late now....)

    hi there, ive been getting the same problem and ive tried everything in the links supplied, i have even downloaded quicktime seperately and the downloaded itune, if my windows installer open itunes then it will work but you keep have to uninstall, download and re-install, very, very inconsiderate, i have also created a post but no replies yet, apple support on phone are useless, i think it is itunes conflicting with quicktime but as you downlod both versions together, what can you do, i wouldnt mind if they conflicted wiv roxio of nero but its their own stupid programs that are doing it, i am very anoyed, tryed to work this out for 6 days now, anyway i hope you have more luck than i have had

  • Graphic distortion when switching between external and built-in display (rMBP)

    Recently (within the past two weeks or so) I've noticed a strange issue when switching between my external display (Thunderbolt) and my built-in display on my 15" rMBP. The following issue seems to be specific to Photoshop CS6.
    Typically, I'll have a PS document open on my external display and I'll wind up taking my to another location. If I close the PS document while on my built-in and then re-open it, I get all kinds of distortion and pixellation. Closing out PS and reopining, restarting, logging on/off; none of it seems to work. It seems like the issue is with the PSD itself, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Any ideas? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/iCipSc7.jpg

    Do you have intel gpy as well as other graphic card?  You may be viewing document on different gpu's.  PS does not like multiple gpu's.

  • Upgrading graphics card and ram on late 2011 macbook pro?

    Hi. I have a late 2011 macbook pro, and I wanted to know if i could upgrade my graphics card and ram for better performance while gaming. I play WoW and diablo 3 and often notice lag and can only run on low settings. So my graphics are Intel HD 3000 which is integrated, and i was wondering if i could upgrade to a graphics card like AMD or nvidia. Also, would upgrading from 4 gb of ram to 8gb of ram help my performance? Thanks.

    You cannot upgrade the graphics card on your MBP. It is soldered to the logic board.
    RAM can be increased to 8 or 16 GB.  The correct specifications are;  204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.
    The best vendors for Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.
    Ciao.

  • Upgrading Graphics Card and Processor

    I'm wanting to upgrade my graphics card and processor. Now I don't play many games, but I would like to max out LOTRO and maybe some games on steam like portal/doom3/etc...
    My motherboard is an
    Manufacturer: Foxconn H-RS880-uATX
    HP: Aloe-GL8E
    I've already decided I'm upgrading my processor to the Phenom II X4-830. Right now I have the AMD Athlong dual core 3.0ghz.
    And I'm upgrading my RAM from 4GB to 8GB this week.
    The only thing I'm having a hard time finding is what the best graphics card I can get for my motherboard. I've checked all the FPS benchmarks for the ones HP recommends, but they don't seem better than what I have now which is the ATI Radeon HD 5450 512MB.

    Please identify your HP desktop with its product name. Is it a Pavilion p6230y desktop?
    In the HD 5000 series  the 5750 is definitely better than a HD5450. 
    The HD6850 would definitely do the trick, but you would also have to upgrade your PSU to something beefier.
    The Phenom II X4-830 will have to be a Deneb core for it to work with your motherboard.
    If your operating system is a 64-bit one then upgrading RAM to 8GB  will be worthwhile.
    If the OS is 32-bit then you will be wasting your hard-earned money since the OS was designed to use only @3.25 GB of RAM.

  • I sit possible to upgrade the graphics card in my Macbook Pro?

    I own a macbook pro 2.4 ghz intel core duo, 4gb ram with NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB graphics card. I'm finding this graphics card pretty shocking when it comes to even the simplest of 3D games...i know probably my fault for choosing a laptop not suitable for gaming but still i did expect it to be able to handle graphics like on football manager.
    Anyway my question is, is there any way to upgrade my graphics card and how much would it cost?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I wouldn't expect Skype or iWork to be a problem. I don't know Spotify.
    Have you used Disk Utility to correct permissions? This is a routine maintenance procedure that can improve some things. If you are not familiar with using this utility it's sufficient to see at the end 'permissions repair complete' or similar. There are likely to be some messages saying certain things couldn't be corrected but usually these are not serious issues.
    The other thing to watch is whether you are running on battery power or mains. When there is intensive processor activity & some other internal activities too the computer might need mains power to perform at its best. You can try various things on battery alone then on battery & mains together and compare performance.

  • Tecra A6 - Can I upgrade the graphic card?

    I have a Tecra A6 A60E (171) with 1Gb memory and the Intel Express 950 video chipset set at max memory useage 128Mb.
    Is it possible to either upgrade the memory allocation to 256Mb max or install a graphics card?
    Shaun

    Hi!
    Sorry buddy but here in the forum are so much threads about upgrading the graphic card and CPU so I can prefer this Toshiba document:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
    And yes, if you have more RAM you will get more video RAM. As far as I know up to 256MB video RAM are possible.

  • Graphics nightmare after Yosemite upgrade on Macbook Pro and iMac

    I have upgraded my 2013 iMac and my 2012 Macbook Pro Retina to Yosemite.
    I am getting endless graphics glitches and crashes on both machine on all programs.
    I've attached a screen shot from my Macbook Pro today.
    I have updated the NVIDIA drivers on both machine and no difference.
    Any help appreciated as I don't want to revert back to Mavericks (which was perfect)
    Thanks

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • MacBook Pro Graphic Distort After Upgrading to Lion 10.7.5

    Hi,
    Recently, I upgraded my mbp which was produced by the end of 2007 (macbook pro 895) with geforce 8600m graphic card, from 10.5.8 to 10.7.5.
    I noticed that logic board failure might occur on my mac, however, at least i was fortunate during past 5 years while not that lucky just after ugrading..
    My phenomenon is: the screen suddenly distorted and the overall system hung without any response until I power off and restart. I am not sure whether it's just the logic board failure, but I feel that it might have something to do with software as shown in:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20091204-263/graphics-issues-plaguing-os-x- 10.7-lion-upgrades/
    Another issue is: it seems the free maintainance announced through http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 seems to be obsolete, isn't it ?

    Finally resolved...
    It's because of the fact that my mbp is too old to be upgraded to lion ...
    Although I've seen successful experiences of upgrading mbp 895 (manufactured by the end of 2007) to lion, it's a disaster due to random death halt according to my experiences..
    It seems 10.7.4 could be OK since I have met no problems for more than one week, however, when upgrading to 10.7.5, the death halt happened every half an hour, while even if I downgraded to 10.7.4, it doen't help, while when I continuously downgraded to snow leopard 10.6.8, it works normally.

    See this tip --> http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1559
    If this doesn't resolve it you most likely have a hardware failure. Fortunately, your phone is in warranty, so if you take it to an Apple store they will replace it.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the graphics card on a mid 2012 MacBook Pro? And is it possible to upgrade the RAM without voiding the warranty?

    Hi I was wondering if it is possible to upgrade the graphics card on a MacBook Pro and the RAM without voiding the warranty? I have a gt 650m in my MacBook Pro, non retina, and to me, its not enough power for me, so i was looking around, and I found a retailer that would give me a nvidia gtx 660m for a decent price. Also, the ram needs to be at least 12gbs, to ensure that my computer would run fast.
    If you can help, please tell me,
    Thankyou.

    No, the video card cannot be exchanged - you have a pretty decent GPU there; not sure why you'd want to switch it out. You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 16GBs. Apple recommends upgrading in matching pairs, so I don't really think I'd try 4GB and 8GB stick.
    Both Crucial and OWC have memory available for the new Macs. Both are reputable dealers and know Macs well and I would only buy from these sources (and I would buy Crucial, were it me).
    Although your Mac didn't come with a users manual outlining the installation of the additional RAM, you can download the late 2011 model users guide as the models themselves are almost identical.
    Good luck - write back with any questions.

  • Just got a new monitor, and Firefox says I need to upgrade my graphics card?

    When I open Firefox, my screen goes black, then when it comes up, it has a canvas texture. I can't see the pictures clearly, even my desktop looks like a painter's canvas (texture). The troubleshooter said I needed to upgrade my graphics card, however Windows XP wouldn't let me upgrade the card.

  • I've just acquired a 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 2x 3GHz Xeon and would like to upgrade the graphics card

    I've just acquired a 2007 Mac Pro 2,1 2x 3GHz Xeon and would like to upgrade the graphics card. I'd like to be able to run the Adobe CC 2014 software for 2D animation work. Don't need CUDA for any ray-traced work, just want to be able to run Ai and AE at the same time and have it handle the playback. Will this card http://www.ebay.com/itm/181466634525?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&fromMakeTrack =true be a good way to go? Or should I stick with the 4500? Or is there any other suggestion or things I should know?
