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:

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...

I have an older version of imovie. After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine. However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom. Any suggestions?

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

Larger Document Appears Black and Displays Incorrectly

Hello,
I have just purchased Web Premium CS4. Photoshop CS4 Extended was included with the package and I installed and ran it. Sadly any large document I tried to open appears black and sometimes when I zoom in partly displays with random black lines through it. I have checked my system's specs and they all match up with the requirements. I am running Vista SP1 on a Dell computer. I have read all the knowledge base articles relating to this matter and have done everything they said (including disabling OpenGL, etc.) but still the problem continues. Is there any way or patch/addon to fix this?
Thank You So Much,
Bailey

Do they open up in other images manipulation software packages? Try CS3 if you have it.
What size, format (psb, tiff, etc) are they?
I've only experienced what you say with corrupt files...I hope that's not the case here.

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

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.

Anyone else has an idea?
The subject has been discussed here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2136106&start=60&tstart=0 and apparently the problem is fixed with OS 10.6.3.
But I'm using 10.5.8! Thanks.

then click in the Presets dropdown and select save as and type in a description such as " Black and White"

Video out black and white?

ok i just got the apple cables for the ipod..
when i plug it in the tv it shows it in black and white?
i use the video plugs red to red white to white and green to yellow thats the only one that works for video..
is it the cable or the video from my i ipod touch?
thanks

So your TV only has three plugs and you tried to plug in the rest of the video. See if your TV has more plugs like three videos and two audios. What you tried to do is plug a component cable into a composite jack which doesn't work. I think you bought the wrong cables. You need the composite. The ones you have is for an HDTV

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....

Is there a way to fade video to black and keep audio going?

I'm using iMovie 09. What I'm attempting to do is have a long fade to black transition at the end of the project that will obscure the last couple of seconds of video, yet keep the audio going during the fade till it ends.
To put it another way, I'm trying to ditch the last 2 or 3 seconds of picture, yet still keep the music that is going on underneath it.
Is there a way to do that?

Sorry, Karsten, I'm having trouble explaining this clearly. Here's what I'm attempting to do: I want to make a short example clip from a silent film to upload. Below is a link showing how this clip ends.
The thing I want the viewer to see last is the boy and girl sitting on the bank, not the litter of pigs.
However, I don't want to chop the music off to get rid of the pigs. So is there a way to fade the video to dark around :11 or so, and then have the music finish up in the dark a few seconds later?
In other words, how do I get rid of the pigs without chopping the end of the music off?

Pictures Appear BLACK and then as Negatives

I just finished scanning approx 100 photos, all .jpg. They appear in finder and quick view without a problem. I dragged them into IPhoto. Half appear fine, the other half are black-- no picture, just the outline. When I click on any of them they appear as a negative. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
iPhoto only supports RGB profile images* and this issue usually occurs when a greyscale or CMYK image is imported. The solution is to change the colour profile to RGB. It won’t affect how the photo displays.

*Cameras shoot RGB.

I made a slide show using imovie. When I play it back on my imac, the slideshow looks perfect. However when I burned in via iDVD and play the disc, the resolution drops off. The video appears fuzzy and not sharp. Any ideas why?

I made a slide show using imovie. When I play it back on my imac, the slide show is crystal clear and sharp. I burned a disc of the slide show using iDVD. When I played the dvd the resolution is very poor. Fuzzy and shakey images. I tried various solutions, Apple tec told me to go to preferences on iDVD and select "professional" to get higher resolution. Tried that but results still the same. Any ideas?

When you play on your Mac, you can have resolution up to 1920x1080.
When you burn to iDVD you convert to 640x480.

All my illustrations are black and white!

I reinstalled iTunes and synchronized my iPod and noticed that all the illustrations are all of a sudden in black and white! I checked iTunes and in iTunes they are in black and white too. They used to be in colour before reinstalling. If I play the song in a mediaplayer, the picture is in colour too. I reinstalled iTunes again and loaded the songs in iTunes again but that did not work. Can anyone help me out?

Is it possible that you're not viewing all channels? In the top right hand corner is a drop down menu where you can select to view all channels, or alpha, red, green or blue. If red green or blue are selected that might make video appear "black and white" and you'll need to change it back to "all".

Video camera - Need to shoot in Black and White

We need to shoot video in black and white, We have tried to shoot in night mode. But the result is the colors being brighter and not lighter. We need to do video coding with these so the colors being too bright is not working out. any imput on a video camera that will shoot in black and white and has an SD card slot?

I have internal memory on some of my cameras and I NEVER use it. It's faster and cheaper to use a USB reader. Why run down your batteries and go looking for a cable.
What can you do with $100 savings? Click on this link...

You might even find cheaper SD memory elsewhere. My local computer dealer is selling 16gb for under $10!
With the $100 savings you can spend it on a second battery. Then again, consider spending it on an extended battery so you can record more than 30 minutes. Unless you plan to use the camera connected to the wall at all times.
