Video appears black when it plays

Ok, so I just got AE CS6 the trail version, and I have through a problem.Whenever I want to RAM Preview a video it appears black. Why?!

I'm Using After Effects CS6 the trail version.
I downloaded it a week ago.
I am using Windows Vista Ultimate.
No error messsages appear.
I'm trying to creat a Comp. out of a video. ( Dragging the video to create new comp. button)
It used to work on Windows 7 Ultimate.
The other programs i use such as Premier Pro CS5, Photoshop CS5.5 Ilustrator CS5 are working just fine.
I have no third-party Plug-ins installed.
My PC:
       Processor:      AMD Phenom 9850 Quad-Core Proccesor 2.50 GHz
       RAM:             3 GB
       System type:   64bit
       Graphic Card: ATI Radeon HD 4800
       Harddisk:        1TB
I have no third party hardware installed.
I am using Open GL.
The problem appera on my RAM Preview and on my final ouyput.
And, no im not using Multi Frame renderind.

  • Why does my screen turn black when I play iTunes while working on iPhoto?

    Why does my screen turn black when I play ITunes while working on iPhoto? I can't click off of the screen but get a message that reads Shut down computer by pressing button in back then turn computer back on by pushing button in back. That's followed by Chinese letters (which I cannot read). I have had other problems when playing iTunes (actually, a radio station on the Internet) while working on  iPhoto. Before, I got a window that would pop up and tell me I had no disk space available, that I would have to quit applications that were open. Not many were open.
    It would be nice if I could solve this problem once and for all.
    Thanks in advance for all the suggestions. I truly appreciate your help.
    Jan

    That was easy. Thanks. Jan

  • MP4 videos going black when skipping foward.

    Essentially when I play the video it works fine, but if I click forward on the video it turns black. The audio still plays but there's no video. Also, if I click back to the start the video it's still black. The only way to fix it is to start another video then going back to the video with the problem. This only happens on 2 videos, I'm wondering if the files are corrupt, or if there is a way to fix it.

    What do you mean by saying the screen is going black?
    Do you mean the whole monitor or just the Viewer in FCP X?
    Try these general troubleshooting strategies  even if you've already done them.
    Use this free app to trash the preferences. This should be the first thing you try when any problems occur.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/prefman/
    2. Open Disk Utility and Repair Permissions.
    3. Trash FCP X using this free app and reinstall it.
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    If these 3 measures don't work, create a new User Account (Admin) in System Preferences and try running FCP X from that as it sometimes works miracles.

  • Apple Site Videos appear black, but auido OK

    I don't know what's going on. This is a new iMac (purchased from apple Sept '07)
    It was working fine for while, now when I try to watch ANY video on apples site, the video is black and the audio is fine. (this includes tutorials, guides, and ads)
    I've tried using safari, and firefox, I've rebooted the computer and check some settings. Can any one help?

    Yes, I've installed all the quicktime updates. (even 7.4) That may have cause the problem. Maybe it's only quicktime videos on Apples site that I'm having a problem with. (Most other sites are using flash based players)
    I don't want to do a full system refresh (besides being a mac newbie, that's more work) is there another way around it. I don't mind removing quicktime, finding older versions and trying that. Do you think that might work. Even by removing some of the system library files. (I may be a mac newbie, but I was an advance PC guy for years, that finally got tired of all the garbage and just wanted something that worked.)
    Thanks

  • Sound on my 60 gig ipod video goes out when I play videos only

    It works fine on songs but when I play a video the sound stops at like 30 secs into the video. It does that on any video I play also it does it when I hook it up to my TV. I reset my Ipod and it still does it. Any help guys thanks

    The sound rate may not be correct.
    Also, did you make or download these videos from other sources (not iTunes) and convert them for iPod?

  • Video appearing black

    My video is appearing black in After Effects, Final Cut Pro and Quicktime 7 Pro, but I can see it in the regular quicktime 10.2. The audio works fine. The codec in Final Cut Pro reads Linear PCM, Uncompressed 32-bit ARGB
    It reads "None" in Quicktime 7 Pro.
    Using Quicktime 7 Pro, I've selected every option under transparency. Anyone have a solution?

    Thanks for taking this on.

  • AE exported video appears black in Premiere Pro

    Do I have wrong settings or something in my Premiere (Pro 1.5) or more likely in export settings of my After Effects 6.5, cause after I've exported a video clip from AE and bring it to Premiere, the video turns black. I can hear it's audio though.
    If I watch the same exported video with some video player, it's ok.
    Thanks,
    Jussi

    Umm, could you please provide some format specs? You know, I can watch videos on YouTube "in some player" and it's okay, but that does not mean that these videos will have any value in Premiere. Not meaning to be snobistic here, but everyone's telepathy can only go so far and in my case it seems I'm not tuned to your brainwave length....

  • Since updated to CC 2014.1 - 6k Red .R3D files appear black when paused

    I have a project that was started in the previous version of CC and now we've updated to CC 2014.1 (latest version). I noticed that since the update, when there is a Red .R3D file in the source monitor, it will go black after a few seconds (when the full resolution image would have appeared). I'm viewing the quality in 1/16th. When I scrub or play I can see the footage fine. It is only when I pause that the window soon turns black. If the playhead is over a red .r3d file in the sequence, the same thing will happen. Also, I can't play full resolution either - it will remain totally black.
    When I turn off Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and choose Software Only in the project settings, this problem goes away. However I don't prefer to work that way because other things seem significantly slower.
    The video card in this machine is the ATI Radeon HD 5770 - EFI Driver Version: 01.00.436
    Any ideas? This is on a Mac Pro (Mid 2010) with latest version of Mavericks.

    "This kind of issue…" refers to what? File based camera formats like AVCHD, etc.? As Neil says, there are lots of things that can go wrong with these kinds of formats. Chief among them is not ingesting them correctly, via the Media Browser not File > Import.

    I don't believe I know of any one company creating complex software that doesn't need a larger support staff. We do the best we can with what we are given. Of course, I have no control over how many support agents we have on the phones or on chat. I'm lucky now that I have a couple of agents dedicated to the forums, so you should see this situation improving.

  • Videos Appear Black and Jagged

    I need help in playing AVI videos on Quicktime.
    Ever since I upgraded to Quicktime Pro, my AVI videos have not been playing.
    At first I got a white screen and audio only.
    And then I installed various components but it only made it so that the screen became black with choppy colors here and there, like so:
    http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/1062/picture3pn1.png
    Nothing I do seems to get rid of this jagged coloring and black screen.
    I tried downgrading quicktime but that didn't work either.
    I tried reinstalling as well.
    Please help.
    Thank you in advance.

    It says it's a 3ivx mpeg-4 vid?
    It used to play fine on this mac but now...
    I tried perian, and the preview of the video in the file columns appear fine, but the actual video is still black and jagged.
    I've tried to import it into imovie and it doesn't improve.
    it plays on VLC fine but... I need to make edits in imovie...

  • Why is video/audio jerky when computer played through Apple TV?

    I have my MacBook Air connected to my TV through Apple TV and Airplay.  When I am watching movies or TV shows from my computer through Apple TV, the sound and picture on my TV is often jerky, with sound going in and out and video freezing then starting up again.  When I disconnect from Airplay, the movie plays perfectly on my TV screen.  Why is the sound and picture so bad when playing through Apple TV?  I use a brand new Airport Extreme as my router.
    Thank you,
    Ian

    Dear Vazandrew, many thanks for your advice. The issue was non-existent with OS Maverciks and appeared after upgrading to Yosemite on iMac 2013. In addition to the stutter of image and audio on airplayed content in regular intervals, it is virtually impossible to disconnect the airplay from the Apple TV by selecting "disconnect airplay display" - one needs to restart the machine to disconnect. The configuration includes the latest release of Apple TV, with latest software, the latest Airport Extreme, with latest software, and the 2013  iMac with the latest OS - Yosemite. I would like to reiterate there was no stutter issue with Macericks and a google serach of the stutter issue shows this issue was reported by other users as well - following upgrade with the official Yosemite and a number of report during the beta testing of Yosemite.
    I would be happy if someone could please advise how this issue could be escalated so that a proper attention is paid by Apple.

  • ITunes changes video/album info when I play video/songs

    I have purchased movies, tv shows, and music on iTunes, and sometimes when I go to play a song or video I've downloaded iTunes changes the name/album/other info on the video/song, and it then changes where it is located in my iTunes folders, and album art changes as well. What is going on?! I've had it happen multiple times to both songs and videos. And unfortunately, even though it renames the files on my computer and in iTunes causing me to not be able to find them, I can not download them from the cloud because the cloud recognizes that those files are ON my computer (even though they're renamed and I would have to listen to thousands of songs just to find what it's been renamed to).
    How can I stop this from happening and losing so much media that I've purchased on this computer?! I'm tempted to delete EVERYTHING, and redownload it from the cloud. However, what's to say it wouldn't happen all over again once I've done that?
    Please let me know if you've experienced something similar and what can be done to correct the problem.
    Thank you so much.

    I'm having the exact same issue, and it's driving me crazy. Like you, it's been happening for a while, through several updates. This can get confusing, so let me use actual titles to keep this straight. Went to play Lady Gaga "Bad Romance". The album art totally changed to Swell Season and the song "Back Broke" started playing even though the track was still labeled with Lady Gaga info. 
    So, I tracked down Swell Season "Back Broke" and played that, and it morphed into a completely different song!  I feel like I'm playing whack-a-mole with my songs. AND even though the Lady Gaga track renamed itself to Swell Season "Back Broke" and plays Swell Season "Back Broke", it still sorts alphabetically as if it's Lady Gaga.
    My favorite incident so far has been a song with track info A, album art B, and the actual song that plays is C. Three in one combo!  All of these have been with purchased songs.
    Deleting and downloading the incorrect tracks from the cloud doesn't do anything. Problem remains. When I tried to redownload Lady Gaga "Bad Romance" from previous purchases in the store, it said that it was "not available in the US store." ????? Should I abandon my itunes library and thousands of dollars worth of purchased songs and just do a monthly thing like Spotify? Because the only solution that has worked so far is REBUYING songs I've already purchased!!
    Ridiculous. Apple, find a solution and break it down for me step-by-step. Because I know I'm not the only person with this issue.

  • Input video appears stretched when imported to Premiere Pro CS6

    I'm on a beginner level on Premiere Pro so please be gentle if this question is very basic. I'm trying to make a video that preserves the input video resolution exactly. My input video was an MP4 movie with resolution 1440 x 1080. It's an iPad screen recording using X-Mirage software. When I opened it normally in quicktime, it didn't seem stretched. However, when I imported the clip into Premiere, the clip appeared stretched. I checked the Properties of the clip and it turned out to have Pixel Aspect Ratio of 1.3333, which meant the pixels were stretched. My output sequence was also stretched out because of this, even though the output indicated that the resolution is the same: 1440 x 1080. I tried to comply with "Clip Mismatch Warning" and the result was still a stretched version. Please help!

    Hi,
    In premiere pro, you will see sequence on the top. Click on sequence and from the drop down select sequence settings. Under sequence settings there would be a tab of pixel aspect ratio. Try and change it to d1/dv ntsc widescreen 16:9 or hd anamorphic.
    Check if it makes any difference.
    Thank You

  • Thumbnails in landscape appear black when expanded

    I can see all thumbnails, but when I click on an image it expands and then immediately dissapears. The screen in the iPhoto window remains black. The issue appears only with pictures in "landscape" orientation.
    Thanks for your ideas
    Cheers

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Video clips black when viewed full screen or exported?

    I'm just taking my first steps with iMovie - apologies if this is a real newbie question or a FAQ (I have searched for answers already without success).
    I've imported some video from my camera (Pentax W90) without a problem. I've split it into clips, selected sections, and added some simple titles and effects - all seems quite easy. I can view my new movie with no problem in the preview window.
    However, if I try to view the movie full screen, or export it, the video content is all black. The titles are fine, just none of my video footage. I've tried exporting in various formats and sizes and it's always the same.
    Where did I go wrong and how can I fix this?

    *edit
    Found workaround for this problem on web.
    1. right click on itunes on your desktop and go to properties.
    2. click on compatibility tab
    3. check box for "Disable display scaling on high dpi settings and apply.
    You will get a warning when you open itunes now that display settings are now set to an older version or something like that but just hit ok....and now full screen video! Probably isn't quite as clear as it should be if apple fixed this problem (I mean come on I know there have to be a ton of us out here that use large lcds or plasmas as our monitors so why its not fixed beats me) but hey at least it works in fullscreen mode this way. The major problem with this workaround is that it makes it quite hard to see text and other things in itunes store because they are now quite small. So what Ive had to start doing is keep it on normal settings while I go into itunes, and do my searching and renting and buying videos, then close it, make the changes of the workaround and then reopen it so that I can watch in fullscreen. Yeah its a pain but it works.
