Video playback in preview monitors appears as a jagged mess

Video playback in the preview monitors appears as a jagged mess. The audio plays perfectly. I am using Premiere Pro CS4 4.2.1, only DV NTSC. I have checked all my settings, have found nothing that will fix this. What could be causing this problem?

More computer information might help... http://forums.adobe.com/message/4200840
Especially the exact brand/model of your graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???) and the exact device driver number
IF you have an nVidia card...
Right click in any open area of the Windows desktop
Select NVIDIA Control Panel from the popup window
Select SYSTEM INFORMATION at the lower left corner
Driver version should be the 1st line in Details

  • Video playback on external monitor

    I have a problem with video playing on my external monitor.
    I have been editing a 30 second commercial with several split screens and quad screens. After my last render, the video no longer plays on the external monitor. A frame plays, and then it freezes. I went thru the "Stock Answers" section and played with the RT settings and the memory/cache settings. Nothing seemed to make a difference. I also opened some older projects and they will not play thru the external monitor either. Finally, another note that may offer some clues is that when you print to tape it sometimes plays perfectly and other times it does not.
    Any help provided will be greatly appreciated!

    #8 External Monitor Viewing.
    Shane's Stock Answer #8:
    A simple path is mac > firewire > camera or deck > rca cables > tv
    Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
    Then go View > External video > all frames
    Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
    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

  • DV NTSC Video Playback on external monitor

    I can't get my DV NTSC sequence to play on my external monitor. I know I have the computer/Canopus/external monitor connected correctly b/c I can playback some of my old Final Cut Express sequences on the external monitor. I used that as a test to make sure everything was connected properly. Since I can rule that out, I must be missing a setting in FCP somewhere?
    Sequence Settings are NTSC-DV; Compressor DV/DVCPro-NTSC
    View>Video Playback is set to Apple Firewire NTSC
    Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Thanks.

    Hi -
    Go to the menu VIew > Video Playback and select Apple Firewire (720x480):
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/VideoPB_FW.jpg!
    Then go to the menu View > External Video and select All Frames:
    !http://www.spotsbeforeyoureyes.com/VideoPBAllFrames.jpg!
    If you don't see an image, then go to the menu View > External Video > Refresh A/V Devices, then reselect All frames.
    Hope this helps.

  • Fullscreen video playback on external monitor (overlay problem?)

    I want to watch videopodcasts via iTunes fullscreen on my external Monitor/TV. It works fine with Quicktime and WindowsMediaPlayer but iTunes doesn't play my Videos in Fullscreen on my external Monitor.
    I had the idea it is because the overlay mode isn't siwtched on but I can't find where to setup the display mode of video playback in iTunes.
    Can anybody help me?

    oh, no...
    i thouhght the iTunes Videoplayback would rely on Quicktime and thus it would be possible.
    isn't there any other possibilty?

  • No video playback on external monitor

    I'm using a open-source radeon supported card with an external monitor on my laptop.  When I run a merged framebuffer setup I can see video playback on both screens fine but I just want to use the external.  However, if I don't use mergedfb I only see a black window during video playback.
    I'm sure I have had it working in the past, though on a diff monitor but I am certain that if mergedfb playback AND TV-out playback then this must be doable and I am doing something dumb!
    My xorg.conf is here, I've tried quite a lot of things but I am stumped atm.

    OK, I thought the solution was:
    Option "OverlayOnCRTC2" "on"
    But apparently that is deprecated and I need to use:
    xvattr -a XV_SWITCHCRT -v 1
    How and when would you guys run this command?

  • Video playback on external monitor only producing still frame

    I am trying to use a HD TV as a playback device as managed to get it to work, however it has now stopped working and only produces a still frame. When I hit play it will play fine in the timeline but display only a still frame on the second monitor. I have made sure that the settings under video playback are set to full screen and that mirroring is turned off.
    Even when I play back on Main the image on the main monitor only displays a still frame until the second monitor is unplugged.
    Am I missing something?

    How is the TV connected?
    If via firewire and an analog/DV converter, are you feeding the HDTV something other than a DV signal? If so, it won't work.

  • Video playback in source monitor low res, fuzzy

    Hello-
      I encoded a slide show ( in PP CS4) using high res pics, the .avi output ( from Media Encoder CS4) looks good. When I use this as a clip in a new PP project, ( after choosing the editing mode with the correct PAR), the video playback in the source monitor has a distinct loss of resolution. I have verified that the video is pretty sharp in an external player, so I'm mystified why it looks fuzzy in PP. I have two different CSes, one is 4 and one is 5, if that could make a difference( production premium & elearning suite ). To date I have been forced to let another department encode final version with an Avid product. Very humiliating.

    I believe I accepted default settings in Media Encoder, Format: Microsoft AVI, Preset: NTSC DV, "Export Video "checked, Video codec DV NTSC, Quality 100
    Type: AVI movie
    Image Size: 720X480
    Pixel Depth: 32

  • Slow Video playback on external monitor

    I'm having a problem with video on an external monitor drifting out of sync. The video plays back slow on the monitor but the sound come through fine and the video is playing at a normal speed in FCP. This is only happening with video from FCP, I can play a clip in Color and there's no drift. I've opened the project on another mac and there's no problem. Also, if I set the external video play back to 10 bit the drift is worse than if it is set to 8 bit, as in a 15 sec clip takes 19 secs to play back on the external monitor at 10 bit and 18 secs in 8 bit (not exact times). I've reinstalled AJA LHe control panel and drivers, but seeing as this isn't happening in Color it seems like it must be a FCP issue. I've trashed the FCP prefs (along with AJA and quicktime), what could this be?!?

    what video capture card are you using??
    have you set render all to FULL, and have you rendered??

  • Subtitle causes jerky playback in preview monitor

    Well the subject says it all. The timeline plays fine in the monitor but when I add the subtitle the playback starts and stops and is very jerky. If I delete the subtitle then everything plays fine. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    That seems like a pretty able system. Have you got plenty of drive space?
    The real check is to burn a DVD and check your playback there. I reckon that will be fine.

  • PRE11 Display driver and low system memory messages as well as no video playback in preview.

    I have an HP Pavilion dv6,
    the display driver is a mobility Radeon HD 4500, I have updated it on the AMD website.
    I have also downloaded quick time, defragmented and done a disc cleanup, I have read previous threads and have not been able to BadDriver. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Muppy6262
    I am not sure what you meant by
    I have read previous threads and have not been able to BadDriver.
    Did you mean that deleting the BadDrivers.txt file did not solve the problem or you could not find it.
    If you could not find it:
    As for the BadDrivers.txt file. Can we assume that your Premiere Elements 11 is on Windows 7 or 8 64 bit?
    If so,
    Local Disk C
    Program Data
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    11.0
    and in the 11.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete. Make sure that you have Folder Options Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the path.
    What are you or the program setting as your project preset?
    And, what are the properties of the source media that you are importing into the project? How are you importing these source Media - Add Media, Files and Folders, Project Assets and from there dragged to the Expert workspace Timeline or other?
    Is this one of those "it worked before but not now" type problems or one of "it never worked" type problem?
    What do your computer resources look like..for starters, installed and available RAM and free hard drive space?
    Are you running a single or dual monitor setup?
    Let us start here and then decide what next.

  • Poor video playback in Encore 2.0 preview and monitor window . . .

    I'm having a strange issue with my video playback in the preview and monitor windows. At some points it displays as blocks (like digital noise). I unchecked the "Automatic" option in the A/V Output dialog as described in the manual. Still, nothing changed.
    To make sure it was Encore that had the problem, and not the file, I played my MPG2 files through PowerDVD, and nothing wrong with the playback in there. What is Encore 2.0 doing? How can I fix this problem???
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks!

    What Mouse drivers are you using please?
    This might sound silly, but under 1.5 (Different preview engine, true, so this may be completely wrong) I found that with a later revision of the MS Intellipoint drivers, I had exactly the same issue.
    We worked this out by realizing the green blocks appeared as soon as the mouse was moved. As with your cases, the discs still burned true proving it is a preview related issue.
    Uninstalling & reverting back to version 4.1 made it all go away.
    But since the preview engine is now the PPro one, this might not work any more.

  • How can i monitor network traffic to debug video playback issues from a NAS?

    I am having problems playing videos on my new Mini that i am using as an HTPC. 
    I have a brand new Mac Mini running Lion with a 2.7 i7 processor and 8GB of RAM with a wired connection to a switch. .
    My switch is a NETGEAR ProSafe GS108T-200NAS set to default settings. I haven't had a chance to start messing with VLAN settings or anything else. There is a bit of a learning curve on my part on this end.
    My NAS is a ReadyNAS Pro (RNDP6000) with 3 x 1 TB hitachi ultrastar (HUA722010CLA330) drives and a 1.5 TB seagate (ST31500341AS) drive setup in RAID config using X-RAID2.
    The problem I am having is video playback when accessing large video files off of the NAS.  These are typically 1080 HD mkv files. 
    I have tested movies as small as 7.5GB with only slight stutters on occasion.  I tried a 10.5GB movie and the stalling was much more pronounced. Movies larger than 11GB are completely unwatchable stalling every minute or so. 
    I have also tried large movies on the local drive and that is not a problem at all - they play back just fine.  Beautiful playback in hidef.  Mind you, some of these are the same files that were stalling over the network.
    I have also noticed that some other network devices get kicked off the network when a movie is playing.
    I think it has something to do with the transfer speed of files over the network and the switch - i am no expert at this mind you.
    I am wondering if there is some sort of utility that i can use to monitor network activity on the mini so that i can fix my problem.  Or has anyone made chages in their switch settings to optimize data trasfer speeds.
    Any advice or recommendations on. 
    Thank you all!

    OK, I did a couple of things and ran things a couple of times. 
    First what I did settings wise:
    I enabled jumbo frames on the Mac Mini, ReadyNAS Pro, and the Netgear GS108T switch.  All with MTU set to 9000.
    I went ahead and enabled jumbo frames on the rest of the computers on the network just in case.
    After these changes I ran into the same problems with videos timing out - very annoying and frustrating as you can imagine.
    Then I started playing with device configurations.  My original configuration was NAS > Netgear switch > Mac Mini. I went ahead and switched the switch to an Airport Extreme I have as my WAP and the setup looked like this - NAS > Airport Extreme > Mac Mini. 
    Well, long story short, no go.  It appears to me that the NAS is the one having issues providing the necessary data at the proper speed.  I also tried playing sopme movies off of the NAS onto a desktop i have and had the same issues - choppy frames and crashing movies.  I even tried connecting wirelessly to see if that would work. 
    BTW, I have the Mac accessing the file system using CIFS. 
    I don't know what else I could do.
    I am going to have to go to the Netgear forums to see if i can figure this out.  Hopefully, I can get things going to be able to help some people out.
    If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.
    My only other alternative is spending $2000 for the thunderbolt capable NAS that Apple sells - it's only money!

  • Preview monitor playback 'sticks' with certain types of footage.

    Hi there, I wonder if anyone could help me with this problem.
    I am going through a Apple certified FCP training book with a DVD of footage for video editing. I a have copied the footage onto my hard drive as recomended. However, some clips will not play back with any motion through my preview T.V, it just sticks and parks wherever your playhead was before the footage began or once stopped. You can watch it back fine in the canvas on FCP obviosly, but the preview monitor is sticking and not playing along with it?
    The training footage is set correctly because it configures your FCP to match the settings that the author was using.
    My settings seem fine for standard DV editing as I loaded up some of my old Mini DV quicktime footage and it runs in FCP and through my T.V monitor in real time with the canvas/timeline. However I have DVCAM video footage to edit soon and when I also try to play it this also sticks on the preview T.V and doesn't follow the canvas until you stop playing and then it lands on the frame that i am parked on.
    I imagine its my settings more than anything, I dont see how playing around with standard mini DV footage in the canvas is fine with the preview T.V and and not the DVCAM footage?
    I am going out the mac via firewire into a Datavideo AD converter which in turn is going to the preview T.V via S-Video, with the audio phono into an amp. Like I say, works a treat with standard DV footage.
    Thanks for your time and hope you can help me!

  • Preview monitor -- video out?

    I'm hoping this is the right forum for this question.
    I was wondering if there was a way to have a preview monitor to get a real world view of an edited piece I'm working on.
    Currently, I'm set up with two flatscreens for working in FCP, but would like to have a 3rd small monitor, like a 13" one that I can out put the signal to see what it would look like.
    Is this at all possible?

    I have always used a dedicated source deck to feed dv footage into FCP. I have also always fed my NTSC monitor from the Mac via firewire through the deck and then out to the monitor through Video Out. Worked like a charm.
    Well, I sold my deck and decided to buy a Sony DCR-HC32 to take it's place. I did a lot of research and read that this camera was compatible with FCP and Mac. Which from what I can tell it is.
    The issue I am having is that when viewing the time line on the NTSC monitor, the image constantly jumps. Not something you could look at for 10 hours a day. It is really evident when the timeline is paused. I have the camera set up the same way I did the deck, firewire in from Mac, Video out to Monitor. It seems almost like a sync issue.
    Any ideas?
    Am I doing something wrong? The main reason I went with Sony is that I shoot with Sony pd-150s and didn't want to have playback compatibility problems with another manufacturer. I have already experience those with JVC equipment.
