Video playback window

Some how I have made the Video playback window the width of the actual screen, instead of it just being its normal width (A few inches) unfortunatley I do not know how i did this nor do I know how to set it back to the default size. Any ideas folks??

The playback controls window, not the actual video playback screen (window)

Opened premiere and no windows are opening--but the file audio will play as if the video playback window is functioning. I've tried resetting my work space setting several times and it still will not give me any visual. Any idea how to find a way to view

I've even reset my computer a few times and no go.
Where could my editing windows be hiding?

if you have an intel hd graphics: when creating a new project set the renderer to software only. if you have a project open, from the menu, File>Project Settings>General and change the setting there. the "Program Monitor" window will be the one that displays your timeline. if you are on the "editing" workspace, resetting it from the menu should give you the program monitor in the top right corner.

Video seek doesn't work in detached playback window. Win 7 x64

Seeking video using the tracker doesn't work in a detached video playback window when running 64-bit Windows 7. It last worked in 9.0.1, it stopped working in 9.0.2, and it wasn't fixed in 9.0.3. I can replicate this on every Windows 7 64-bit machine. I constantly have to waste time looking for an old downgraded version of iTunes as a result of this. It's been 6 months now. How many more years do you geniuses need to fix this blatantly obvious regression defect in your product?

Update:
I've just discovered that this is apparently only a problem with Firefox. I can adjust volume in flash games and YouTube in Google Chrome just fine. Still not sure of any way to fix these issues with Firefox, but it still helps to know that.

Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?

Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?
I haven’t been able to find any.
Since the .m4v file type appears to prevent any video bought or rented from the iTunes Store from being played using any other program the lack of these picture controls - if indeed they are lacking - make it seriously deficient as a video player.

Thanks for the rapid response to my enquiry.
I know that it’s possible to adjust the monitor’s performance via System Preferences but it is rather long-winded and I’d rather not alter the settings for the entire screen (and then have to change them all back once finished) when it’s only the video playback window that needs adjustment.
Since iTunes provides various options using the Equalizer for adjusting sound playback it seems rather odd that they don’t have a similar panel for video.
Regarding QuickTime.
Apparently earlier versions (such as 7) had picture controls but the current version (10.4) does not.
I assume Apple are phasing out QT whose development seems to have stopped - or rather gone backwards since it now lacks capabilities it once had - and intend in future to treat iTunes as their universal media player which no doubt makes sense from their point of view.
I wasn’t aware of the .m4v file type when I made my first and probably last video purchase via iTunes yesterday and didn’t realise that it would restrict my options for playback so completely.
The experience has really put me off buying any additional video from the iTunes Store.

Best Practices for smooth video playback

I'm using a low res. video as a reference movie in a 5.1 project. 23.98 fps, H.264. Video playback is very choppy. In the video playback window the Resolution setting in the pulldown menu is greyed out. It's set to Full Res. How do I change this setting? Also any tips for achieveing smooth video playback?
Thanks.

I'm sorry, but I can't help you with the video problem. The only time I tried this recently, I couldn't get the damn video to play in Audition at all, so I gave up; fortunately it didn't matter. The only thing I know is that the video engine it uses has been changed at some stage (probably CS5.5) - heaven only knows what the implications of this are.

ITunes / Windows Video Playback.. (what, you actualy want to WATCH vid's?)

I'm sure there are several people out there that are having the same or similar problems, but because I can't seem to find them with the exact problem I'm having, I thought a new thread would be appropriate....
Upgraded from 6 to 7 yesterday... music seems to play OK (not as good as 6, but not all the issues other people are having). Now video playback in iTunes is little more than a slideshow with audio to (almost) match.
When I go to play back any vid podcast, or other video in my library for that matter, iTunes bumps my processor up to 100% and holds it there, and the video does little more than skip and bounce through the entire playback (even if the overlay controls go away fully, the slightest mouse movement brings them back). The audio quality seems to almost follow the video, but they get away from each other (the audio was about 2 seconds ahead of the video/slide show while watching the current version of Photoshop TV). Any other video player works fine, but if I wanted to use them, I would have never installed iTunes in the first place, the idea being that the integration was the blessing.
I USED to be able to watch a video, use Photoshop CS2, have Flash 8 open behind it, After Effects running on a seperate monitor, browse the web, and play freecell all at the same time, with several background utility style apps going all at the same time with out a hickup.
After trying the IDE fix's, the sound setup fix's and any other fix's found in the discussions (and yes, reverting them after they failed to fix the problem), I'm still having an issue, and now I can't find iTunes 6 to try to get back to a good time in life... oh why oh why apple, why do you have just as many issues as windows? I had hoped for so much more....
Anyone? Any Ideas? Anyone willing to email me itunes 6 so I can get back to a better time in life? Or provide answers? I've got a horriable track record with apple (over 20 business stopping questions, and to date 0 responses) so I am about 2 minutes from giving up
Sorry apple, but this is way past frustrating... were all your win/tel beta testers using mac's?

WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

hi slideaway!
my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

Video Playback in Bridge preview Window is Horrible

As far as I can remember, I've always had this problem in Bridge. All videos have horrible playback. The video is choppy and stutters and the audio is not in sync. It doesn't matter what format the video is in, although I have noticed that videos shot with my Canon AVCHD and converted to .mp4 format are worse. But overall there is no video format I've tried that does not stutter. All these videos play fine in Quicktime or any other video player.
I have CS5 design suite and a brand new 6-core Mac Pro, with 24GB of RAM and a ATI Radeon 5770, the problem is definitely not my system. What gives? I'd really like to get this fixed so I can preview my videos in Bridge. Its the easiest place to view multiple videos but I cant do that because of how bad the playback is. I've tried changing the few playback settings in preferences and it did not help at all.
Anyone else have this problem?

I am not a Mac user, I use Windows, however, Bridge is Bridge no matter what the OS.
It is my understanding that Bridge does not have a video engine. It uses Quicktime as the default. If you right click on the video what default program is listed? Try changing the default program and see if you get better results. My .mov video has Windows Media Player as the default and they play just fine. I realize this is a Windows program, but try VLC or some other program. With your machine you should get supurb results. Also, check the video card settings as this has more to do with playback than Bridge settings.
Here is a tidbit on the black frame issue I copied from another thread. Hope it is enlightning. "One of the reasons for the lack of display of a thumbnails is that the CODEC (the encoding/decoding module, used to create the file) is not usable by Adobe programs to display the initial image. Next, many AV files begin with black video, and Dip-to-Black (translated as Fade-from-Black here). If they get just an icon, it's the former. If they get a black Frame for the thumbnail, it's the latter."
Also, I don't think you can just rename the extension from .mov to .mpg. What you can do is take the .mov and convet it to mpg or some other format. Try this and see how it plays.

Video playback in separate window

I used to have Video playback in iTunes to play in a seperate window. the 10.4 update seems to have reset this to play in main iTunes window.
I can't see the option/proference for altering it back.
Has this feature been removed from iTunes?
Des

Thanks Jim - yes, that's sorted it.
View options does seem a logical place, but altering what was a previous preference is a bit odd.
Thanks for your help

Adjust video format of Viewer (Playback) window?

I am working on old video tapes that were recorded in the old TV format, which I think is a 4:3 ratio. In both the Events and Projects areas the clip icons show in that format, as I can see the date/time stamp at the bottom of each (i.e., "May 28 1995"), which indicates they were correctly imported. However, the Playback (Viewer) window only shows a narrower portion, in a wide-screen format, with the bottom and top of the videos cut off.
How can I see the videos in their complete format in the Playback window? I've search this forum and iMovie Help, but can't find the answer.

Video Playback Flicker Windows 7/8 Media Center? Disable Intel Dynamic Contrast to stop it

If you bought a Mac Mini for use as a Windows Media Center DVR Computer like me, you'll notice a background flicker on live tv or recorded tv.
Mine is the Mac Mini (Late 2012 Model) with Intel HD 4000 Graphics
If you go into the Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel. (icon in lower right) Go to Graphics Properties, Advanced Mode, Media, Image Enhancement, and UN-check the box for "Adaptive Contrast Enhanscement"
Video will then be flicker free! (aka 29/59 bug)
Here's a video that walks you through it.
http://youtu.be/9g6Z1sWOOIA
Also, if you have white snow, or video blank outs their is a firmware update for the Mac Mini 2012 model itself. I use Boot Camp, so my Mac OS X Mountain Lion side could update things when needed. (but leave the machine running 99% of the time in Windows 8 as my DVR)
I learned this from:

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.

Timeline Video Playback Glitches after going to login window.

Anyone else had this problem. When I leave the office, I click the login window button to stay logged in but protect my documents.
When I come back and begin to work in the timeline in FCP again, it just repeats a small section repeatedly as the audio still plays correctly. The timeline marker moves right and everything, but the video playback is glitching. I have to save and re-start FCP each time I log back in.

I've experienced the same thing. I find that if you enable all frames in video playback (cmd+F12) it fixes itself.

[solved] video playback stops when I move any window in xfce

Hello,
when I view a video with xine or mplayer and I move/resize any window the video playback stops.
In xine the audio still plays, in mplayer video and audio stops.
When I stop moving or resizing the window the playback continues.
Is this normal in xfce or xorg in general ?
Do other desktop environments handle this without stopping the video playback ?
How does it work on your systems ?
I am using the "nvidia" driver (geforce m 8600 gt - notebook). I haven't tested it with "nv".

ok, there is a setting for hiding a windows content on resizing for moving.
I thought this would just apply to the window I resize and not to all windows on the desktop.
Unmarking those did fix my problem.
