Video Discolored

Hi there...I am using a Sanyo VPC-TH1 camcorder. For reasons still unclear to me, I have been able to put a recent video into iMovie no problem, yet some from the summer (that went into iPhoto first) I was not able to import into iMovie '08. I've been using StreamClip to help me convert and it may be no surprise but I own a copy of iMac for Dummies and I do use the iMovie tutorial which is very helpful, but both pretty much cover the basics and not the particular troubleshooting that I need. Rather I should say they aren't jumping out at me if they are there. I am VERY new to iMovie and through various posts from individuals I have muttled my way through.
My current issue is this...this morning I managed to get a movie from this camera that I filmed last summer into iMovie. It is sitting in my Event Library, but some of the video clips are discolored. Although I haven't tried, it appears I could edit them out. Thing is, I don't want to. I would like to correct this and avoid it happening in the future. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong? When I click this movie and the various clips show up in the window to the right, some look normal, and then others have the screen literately half blue and half green (I say green but almost like a sepia). It's video of a kids birthday party outside...so when I view one of these clips...Regardless of the background or what we are viewing..half the screen is blue and the other half greenish (sepia kind-of). The audio appears fine.
Does anyone know why and can I fix it? Thanks.

I'm having a similar problem. Does anyone have any ideas?

  • Help! Video Discoloration!

    Hello, I am trying to import video from my Canon Vizia HF200 HD video camera into Adobe CS4 Premiere.  When I try playing the video, the audio is great but the video has turquoise discoloration and the people in the video are purple.  It sometimes show the real color of the video when I stop it.  What is this problem and how can I fix it? Thanks
    P.S.  This problem also occurs with regular video files such as .wmv

    Looks like an OS, software version or driver problem, but is hard to pinpoint since you left out all relevant details.

  • Discoloring of mp4 videos in html5 output

    I am using Adobe Captivate to be able to publish to html5. As swf is incompatible with html5, I have to use mp4 videos. However, the videos are somehow discolored in output. Can anyone tell me why this happens, an what I may do to fix it?
    The image on the left shows the video in html5 output. The one on the right is taken from the editor.
    There is no difference using event or multiple slide mode for the videos.

    What do you have set as your slide quality settings?  Perhaps you need to increase it.

  • Ipod video + screen discoloration problem

    i just bought the new 30gb ipod with video.
    last night when i switched off the ipod, it was in perfect condition, but tody in the morning..i discovered tht the screen has weird light and dark patches (these r not surface patches) when the ipod is switched on there is weird colors coming on the screen... very similar to how a screen behaves when some magnetic material is brought close to it!!!
    could this be a bad hardware problem which warrants a replacement? or is there a way to get rid of this problem and avoid it in the future?

  • Black video ipod lcd screen discolored, no cracks--applecare?

    When I looked at my ipod a few days ago all of a sudden i couldn't read the screen and there is a huge dark spot in the upper right and no color in the rest. What I need to know is whether I can send it in to applecare or not. I have the warranty but on the submit a claim page it says don't send in cracked lcds or anything of that nature. soo if there's anyone that could provide me with a sure answer...
    can I submit my screen-damaged ipod with no cracks to applecare?
    Thanks
    -John

    if you send it in and you are within your 6 months it will not hurt. you will just recieve it back if they determine if it was accidental damage. if you are outside of your 6 months then you will at least have to pay for shipping

  • DVI- HDMI discoloration on HDTV (as second monitor)

    Hello all.
    I have been having some issues when using my Philips CRT 30" 1080i HDTV as a second monitor via a DVI->HDMI cable. There seems to be a discoloration that occurs (my best guess being a "green" discoloration) that occurs in the top left corner of the screen. It is made all the more apparent when you then unplug, and a purple haze is left in the corner of the "blue" video input channel. (i imagine the green discoloration on the blue channel yields purple).
    From what I can tell, this problem does not occur on any other video input (say, a Wii on the composite channel, or an XBOX on the component, etc).
    I had heard rumblings that it could be, in order of bad to worst: a bad HDMI cable, a bad HDMI input on the television, or the television going bad period.
    Wanted to know if any of you have had or heard of similar experiences. Need to decide soon if I'm going to had to just buy a new HDMI cable, or if I need to buy a new television/monitor for a job coming up.
    Thanks in advance!

    Problems like that are caused by stray magnetism that cause misalignment of the electron beams from landing on the proper phosphor color. The set itself has a demagnetizer, but sometimes the magnetism is too strong for the built-in demagnetizer to overcome. But calling in a TV repair person to do a demagnetization is, I'm afraid, a throw back to bygone days. But that's what your TV needs.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Have tried repairing via pcc, also done a factory reset, disabled some apps and cleared the cache on a few other apps.
    Also, tried using different browsers like opera, dolphin and all not being able to play flash properly mainly on youtube.
    The only time a youtube vid played properly through the desktop site was when I set the quality of the video to the lowest possible (something like 350p) ?

  • IMac 24" Vista Boot Camp Video Display Problems

    Just recently, as of Christmas 2007, I have had a new alumninum 24" iMac. Great machine! One annoying problem (really annoying) is under Boot Camp's Vista OS. I have a valid Vista Home Edition installed and operating quite fine.
    Here is the issue:
    After running in the Vista partition for more than an hour unattended (screensaver is set to blank or any other), the display is all distorted and wavy.
    I have seen people mentioning video issues, and I have reinstalled Leopard BootCamp drivers, manually installed drivers as advised by others on this forum, yet nothing works. I keep getting the same ol' problem.
    To explain in more detail: The screen is very pixelated and color gradients (i.e. standard Windows Vista wallpaper looks like an ugly histogram graph). When it's usually very smooth gradients of color, it's very sharp and distinct "smearing" appearance. Text and icons look terrible too!
    As any tech support person would say: "Just reboot!"
    Sure, rebooting clears the issue and it looks great again. Just give it an hour or two and the same ugly discoloration is back.
    Anyone out there having issues with this in Vista? Of course Apple really promoted their new iMacs to run Windows under bootcamp (but they won't support it). Poor marketing if you asked me (it is their hardware).
    Under the Leopard partition, I have not seen any issues with this display resolution. Leads me to believe it is for sure a windows driver issue. I have fiddled with just about all of the ATI Radeon HD drivers but cannot come up with a solution.
    Any help, or updates on the drivers that may solve this would be greatly appreciated.
    I'll try Apple again. Wish me luck.
    Machine Details:
    24" iMac (newer Alumninum - December 2007)
    2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    OSX 10.5 Leopard w/ Boot Camp Windows Vista Home Edition (32 bit)

    So, after three days with new drivers, I may have found an ATI driver package that might be working.
    Here is what I downloaded and installed:
    8-3vista32_dd59752.exe
    Found here: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=vista32/common-vista32
    I installed the package and by default set the ATI graphics card driver as an "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT" - so far so good!
    I will keep you updated if this ends up not working, but so far no smearing screens and gradient issues within Vista (32-bit) Home Edition on my iMac.
    Just thought I would share - again, Apple was unable to help. On my own.
    Let me know if others have success with this.

  • Flash Player distortion issue with videos

    Why do some videos show up like this when I'm streaming them?
    [IMG]http://imgur.com/D7LaC.png[/IMG]
    I have the latest version of Flash Player 10. The image will get all "blocky" and discolored. I've even seen it happen to select YouTube videos.
    I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version.
    I have Windows 7 Home Premium, and I'm using the latest Internet Explorer 32-bit.

    Hi eolo2, The turning off the H.A. is the solution in addition to what I just posted to JM761 regarding the drivers is what Adobe recommends. Not everyone's system can use the H.A. You can read about it here:

  • YouTube only uploading my 720 video at 360 max

    I am using a 15" MacBook Pro (2012)  750GB HD, 16GB RAM
    OS X 10.9.5
    2.4GHz Intel Core i7
    After Effects CC 13.0.2.3
    Media Encoder CC
    So I rendered my movie  in the After Effects Render Que as a mov. file and the colors came out slightly, different but enough where I could live with it.  Then I tried to convert it to H.246 Codec and all that by using Media Encoder's "YouTube 720 HD" present, since I primarily want to upload the movie to YouTube.  My movie project is 1280x720 so this was the appropriate preset.  Except when it converted the colors came out even worse. Certain reds came out more pinkish.  I tried sending my project straight to media encoder and rendering it to the "YouTube 720 HD preset" but the same discoloring occured...So I thought I might just upload the 1.68GB mov. file straight to YouTube to try and preserve the decent coloring, since I heard they compress their videos automatically anyway.  But then when it finally uploaded after 25mins the video colors where fine but it would only go up to 360 Definition and it looked horrible (my options were 240 or 360).  I thought it might have something to do with me uploading the large mov. file since I had never done that before.  So I tried uploading the 112MB mp4. file (with the distorted color) and when it uploaded to YouTube the colors were still distorted but the more aggravating part was it STILL only went up to 360. I don't get it?!
    When I watch my movie in Quicktime, or iTunes or even when I drag the finished mov. or mp4. file into a new composition in After Effects it all looks good and goes up to a 720 HD.  Also interesting fact, when I drag the mp4. file into a new After Effects composition the distorted coloring goes away but then if I try to render it out from that new composition using H.264 YouTube 720HD preset the discoloring still appears on all my media playing platforms (Quicktime, iTunes, YouTube)

    About 80% of my projects are 32 bit with color space set to NONE. Some are set to color space profiles defined by my clients. Some projects are set to Display, mine is calibrated with a calibration tool - not by eye. My favorite is the X-Rite: EODIS3 : i1Display Pro. The color space you use depends entirely on the workflow and delivery specifications. If you loose the ability to set a color space anywhere in the project or are worried about that possibility then choose NONE. If you are sure you can maintain control, establish and prove your color management workflow before you deliver your product.
    I'm also very careful with color values in my projects. Some things, like 100% red Helvetica at 40 pixels on a black or white background are going to fall apart when compressed or broadcast so you have to use values that will make these colors work. I do the same thing with gradients. A gradient that only changes color values from say 160 to 200 over an entire HD frame is gong to have banding with it is compressed to 8 bit, and if the gradient is moving it's really going to look bad and theres nothing you can do about it except add some noise or texture to the gradient to hide the 8 bit compression artifacts. Learning what will work takes time and experimentation. I've been doing this since you could have no values below 16 and no values about 235. We can use much more of the available color space but color compression and MPEG formats will always create color artifacts and change things if you are not careful with your design.

  • Display got discolored 2" bar on right side

    Hi,
    A strange thing has happened. My iMacG5 20" suddenly and without apparent reason displays a discoloration of 2" wide, from top to bottom, on the right side. Inside that 2" wide bar white becomes greyish and my folders seem to be polarised. Have tried to make new account, but problem remains. This problem started lets say two weeks ago, but went away until now. Now the problem seems to persist. Is this the video problem as meant in the repair extension program? Or could it be something I can fix myself? Please advise!
    Thanks in advance and greetings from Amsterdam.

    to Steve: This is exactly the same problem as with my iMac. How old is yours? By the way I now know a lot more about this issue. The 20 inch LCD screen is devided into 12 segments. It appears that our iMacs suffer from a defective segment. Any of these segments can become defective or even break down completely. If that happens the broken down segment gives no image whatsoever. If you bring your iMac to Apple, like I did, they will say the screen is dead and needs to be replaced. If your machine is outside their 1 year warranty and has no extra AppleCare, they will charge you appr. 700USD for a new LCD panel (Apple part nr.661-3609) or even more for the panel in the bezel (part nr. 661-3318). The thing is that the panel used in this iMac, the LG.Philips LM201W01(A5)(K1), has a standard 3 year's limited warranty. So I am now trying to find out if a longer warranty period is applicable if the panel is not mounted in the Apple iMac. I sure hope so! Secondly, Apple could be forced by European law to extend their warranty to 2 years, that is in certain cases. But this only applies in Europe, of course.
    Regards, Ernst

  • My Imovie looks great on mac but it is discolored and grainy after I export to dvd.

    My Imovie looks great on mac but it is discolored and grainy after I export to dvd. I need help, it looks awful when projected even playing from my mac.

    It's my understanding based on what another long time contributor stated that Share to iDVD converts direct to a MPEG-2 format and drops it directly into the iDVD Project for you. Share to Media Browser saves it to .MP4 (actually .m4v which is what apple uses for iTunes video,etc) then that gets converted by iDVD into MPEG-2. So something about the export direct to MPEG-2 when you choose Share to iDVD is introducing the problem. That's why Share to Media Browser seems to get around that limitation, it uses a different encoding path altogether.

  • 650GLMS Video

     hi im using a sis 650glms and the video seams to be perfect except 1 thing, in openGL the video is a little discolored in direc3d wich isnt as good does not have this problem.. anyone know ?  ?(

    Though bit late, however I believe its a fascinating thing. Always I depend upon Datasheets for any quick comparison or an overview about the product specification and seeing it Video is fantastic.
    Please keep it up!!

  • Dropped Ipad, red discoloration, won't fix by slapping

    I dropped my iPad 1 and now there is a red discoloration on the screen. I had previously seen in an article on Apple Support that you can fix it by slapping the back of the iPad. I have tried that for over a day and it won't go back to normal.

    Ah. I see. Try doing what it says on this site. There's a video. http://www.miniipad.com/how-fix-ipad-iphone-red-screen-dropped
    Also, keep in mind that your iPad is not under warranty and Apple will not replace your iPad. So do be careful, or you could make things even worse.
