What's up with flashing green & pink frames?

I just updated to version 10.0.6 and am also working on my first "keyed" project.  I am now experiencing extremely annoying artifacts: either the screen will flash with a bright green or pink semi-transparent tint over the entire frame or suddenly, also for one frame, both the "keying" and transform settings that I applied will disappear.  In an attempt to isolate these frames I was using the blade tool and when I'd make a cut, the remainder of the section, before and after the cut, would re-render and that particular issue/frame would resolve itself.  But then, lo and behold, OTHER frames that played fine after the previous render are now messed up.  So I have been re-rendering and re-rendering over and over and yet keep on finding more frames that are messed up.  Any ideas as to why this would be?

russ,
This was a good idea but it didn't work for me.  Tonalizer has a check box for "Safe Range", which I've tried checked an unchecked.  No difference.  Than I threw "Broadcast Safe" on top and checked and unchecked Tonalizer's "Safe Range" with no difference.  The only thing that works is turning off the plug completely.

  • What's up with this Green Pixel?

    I am confused here... I just noticed a bright green pixel that appears to be stuck but only under certain circumstances...
    For example, it doesn't appear in Pixel Check (under any of the tests) nor does it appear in a screensaver that produces black in that area... HOWEVER, it does appear in the sample screen in Sys Pref for that screen saver...
    What's up with that?

    Ok, this is just WEIRD! I'm looking at it in DVD player and I can see it clear as day...
    But then I go full screen and I am viewing the same area and it's either not there or is considerably less bright...
    Is this software or something?

    Since Pixel Check doesn't show it as "stuck" or dead, it must be some sort of software issue, right?
    I mean, it seems to respond properly to that program telling each sub-pixel to turn on and off...
    Also, it appears in a DVD window under most circumstances (not just black) but seems to dim as I increase the size of the window...
    Strange...

  • Help with flashing green light on Express

    I am trying to set up an airport express in my office to use with my a windows laptop and my iPhone. I had it working yesterday and took it home to set up a home profile on it. Everything was working fine in both places. Today when I plugged it in it went to a steady green for a second or two then amber while it booted as usual but then to a rapid flashing green. I tried everything I can think of including resets and it still does the same thing. It keeps flashing green and never appears in my network lists. Any ideas?

    The rapid flashing green light has happened 3 times to me since I first set up my Airport Extreme in fall 2007. The problem is always fixed by unplugging the LAN cable that connects through my hardwire network to my Airport Express. If I plug the LAN cable back, the rapid green returns and I can't access the network. Unplug it, and voila, the network is back. (I only encounter the problem when I have unplugged the Extreme and plugged it back in - if I leave it alone it is fine).
    I think the problem is a conflict in my Airport Express being set to act as a wireless bridge by my computer-tech friend, but I had it set up to be hardwired in the network so as to never lose my iTunes to hi-fi connection if there was a wireless problem. I've yet to sit down to resolve the Express issue; however, I suspect that if your case is similar, the Extreme is in conflict with another network device. If you can isolate it the network to just your Internet connection and Extreme, see if that solves it.
    Good luck.

  • What is it with flash player all the time!!!

    I swear every single time I do an upgrades, which you're prompted to do until you actually do it so you have to but every time I do an update. something goes wrong.  This is like the fifth update for me and the fifth time something went wrong!  My sound works on my computer because I tested my speakers. played a CD, etc.  However, videos in youtube and facebook will not work!  If I didnt pay for it, I would do away with adobe all together however, I do like the full version of Adobe Reader (so far at least).   But this is just ridiculous...anyone having the same issue or a fix?  The videos play just not the sound.   grrrr

    Wow, if you're going to be like that I can wait for someone else...I have reason to vent, if you dont like it then dont reply - no better yet, dont read it.  This is a help forum - it will be people frustrated with things especially those who have the issue each time and spend good money on the software...sorry maybe you're rich or just THINK you're calm, cool, and collected every moment - I'll tell you what you just bypass my post and go on with your happy little self...
    For those of you with a little more patience:
    I believe My flash player is 10
    I have vista
    I use Explorer (have Google Crome but have not tried it on there)

  • What about customers with Flash blocked?

    Hi!
    We're developing Flex solutions for clients, and one of our
    clients asked about their customers and what happened if they have
    Flash either not installed at all or Flash content blocked. This
    could be for (real or perceived) security reasons, or this could be
    to keep employees from viewing sites like YouTube or Flash gaming
    sites. This could be a deal-breaker to us because if the client
    isn't convinced that all their customers can use Flash, they will
    not use Flex at all.
    So have any of you encountered these kind of problems? What
    do you do in that case - how can you convince a customer to either
    install Flash or unblock it for your Flex solution? I mean you
    don't know what infrastructure a client has and whether blocking
    "bad Flash content" (YouTube, games etc.) and letting "good Flash
    content" (our Flex apps) through is an option at all.
    Thank you!
    Karsten Silz

    1) Flash/flex and other client object apps can run on a
    case-by-case basis via digital security certificates. The user can
    then trust your app to run without inviting in the u-tube armies.
    2) Agreed with other comments that you will likely need to
    give users an alternate user interface otherwise.
    3) If you are selling, you can also just run an off-line
    presentation. Perhaps in seeing the presentation they will buy into
    it.

  • What's up with Flash function key shortcuts in OSX?

    I'm teaching a class for Flash CS3 on the Mac to about 24 students. I've been using Flash in Windows for a long time, but it's been awhile since I worked on a Mac.
    Our classroom has about 24 iMacs running the latest OS X (not sure exactly which version). Several Flash keyboard shortcuts don't work -- shortcuts that I use a lot, like F8 to convert to symbol.
    I was able to successfully disable the goofy Mac search feature that takes over another common Adobe shortcut that I use a lot (CMD-Space, in Flash/Illustrator/Photoshop/InDesign it allows you to temporarily access the zoom tool). In the System Prefs control panel, there was a shortcut for F8 for some other system feature, but even with that disabled, the shortcut still doesn't work in Flash.
    Another strange thing that's happening with most of these Macs: the Properties panel popup for creating a tween doesn't work. Applying a tween in other ways --- the Insert menu, CTRL-clicking and choosing from the popup menu -- works fine. If a tween is applied with the properties panel, the tween appears as broken (dashed line) in the Timeline.
    I would greatly appreciate any guidance in sorting out these Mac issue in Flash CS3.

  • Does anyone know what is wrong with flash games?

    Whenever I try to load a flash game on any website, it comes up fine. However, when I simply click on a button, it freezes both Firefox and the flash script. I just downloaded FF v3.6.10 and updated Adobe Flash player. It was fine before the 3.6.10 update.
    Everything else seems to be fine though...

    Safe mode did not help. In fact, it made Firefox freeze for longer than in normal mode.. I am also using the default theme..
    When I run the Firefox safe mode, it does not come up with the safe mode dialog box like it says in the FAQ.
    Edit: Actually, Java was the problem. To fix, go to start> All Programs> Accessories> System Tools> System Restore, and pick the date that you installed Java. That might help anyone who has this problem.

  • What is wrong with Flash Technical Support?

    I had to install a new hard drive and I use Windows XL SP3.  All of my Production Premium CS3 applications are activated except Flash CS3 Video Encoder.  I have reinstalled it.  I have deactivated all of my CS3 and reactivated it.  The Encoder still has not activated.
    I entered this in the Support Portal on June 25, 2009.  No one has contacted me.  I have held for Technical Support for several HOURS.  I am an Editor.  I paid for the software.  I am LOOSING MONEY due to the fact that no one at Adobe cares to answer the Support Portal or answer the Technical Support phone.  I am willing to PAY for support for something that should be free.  What is going on at Adobe??????????????????????????

    Thank you for your response, UniQRO.  Yes, piracy brought this on...but I'm wondering if there is a bigger issue.  Why is Adobe not answering their Support Portal or Support phone?  Are they having financial problems like other companies?  Are they getting ready to go out of business?
    I've spent 10 years buying, using, learning Adobe products but am beginning to wonder if that was a mistake.  I'd love to hear from someone in Adobe tell me why my support of their company has not been a mistake.  I will be upgrading in the near future and will definitely consider Support (or lack of) in my spending decisions.

  • What is wrong with as3

    this is not a question about 'how i do X'. is rather a 'discussion' (flame or whatever, but to defend or argue about aspects, not people) about 'what is wrong with as3' and what aspects whould be taken into consideration for updates. right now i am using as3, and since i paid for this license, i choose this tool over some alternatives and i am using it to do stuff for other people who pay me to do it, i think it can be helpful for all of us if some actions are started in the right direction. i have already posted about 'all people in adobe are dumbasses that do not know how to make a scripting tool and are messing up my work', but i was pissed at the time (i still am pissed) but i believe this is not the right aproach. instead, if this goes to the right people in adobe, we all may get something in the future, like better and easier todo apps and web presentations.
    pre: not only about the as3 specification, but COMPLY with the specification that you set. for example, some time ago there were problems with matrix transforms. this was corrected later with a patch. but this means it is not even doing what is is supposed to do
    1. scriptable masks and movement, sprites and child sprites: there is a sprite with a mask, the mask is a shape drawn via script, something like
    somemask=new shape();
    somemask.graphics.beginfill();
    (...etc)
    somesprite.mask=somemask;
    just like that. now add some child sprites to 'somesprite', and make 'somesprite' move, scale and rotate. there you will have something like a kaleidoscope, but not what you expected to do with your script. as the child sprites move in the parent mask, you will see that the child sprites appear or dissapear kind of randomly, and if the child sprites are textfields, it may be that the text is rendered outside the mask, or partially rendered outside the mask (as in only part of the text), rendered with the wrongf rotation or in the wrong place. some child sprites are clipped correctly, some dissapear totally when only a part should dissapear (clipped) etc.
    way around: have not tried it yet, but i have the impression that bitmaps have different criteria for clipping, so i am thinking of trying this: appli an empty filter (a filter with params so it does not have any effect on the sprite or in the textfield) so the sprite is rendered as bitmap before doing anything else with it. as i said, i have not done it yet, but it may be a way around this problem, to avoid all this inconsistency with clipping
    1-b. inconsistency between hierarchy and coordinates, specially masks: you apply a mask to a sprite, yet the sprite has a set of coordinates (so 'x' in the sprite means an x relative to its container), yet the mask applied to the very same sprite, as another reference as reference for coordinates (like the stage)
    2. painting via script: in any other languaje, in any other situation, something like:
    beginFill(params);
    (...stuff 1)
    endFill();
    beginFill(params);
    (...stuff 2)
    endFill();
    (...etc)
    means: render region of block 1, then render region of block 2 etc, and no matter what, it should be consistent, since there is noplace for ambiguity. if you read it, you may think what that means, even if you dont run it you may have an idea of the picture you want to draw, but not with as3. as3 somehow manages to screw something that simple, and mixes all the blocks, and somehow uses the boundaries of one block as boundaries for other block. is like all blocks are dumped into whatever, and then uses all lines defined into it as boundaries for a unique block. it changes all boundaries and generates inconsistency between what is shown and redraw regions of the resulting picture, like lines that go to the end of the screen and then dont go away in the next frames, even tough the beginfill endfill block should prevent it
    3. event flow: i dont know what was the policy behind as3 event flow design. it is in no way similar or an extension to previous event flow, neither with any event flow in any other plattform. i dont know how most people start with as3; in my case, i unpacked, installed and when i tried to do something with what i already knew i could not, so i started reading the as3 docs, and since is like 800 pages long, i just read the basics and the rest i would 'wing it'. in the part of the event flow, there was something about bubbling and stuff, it was not clear at all and when i tried to do what is was said in the documentation (like preventing events to 'bubble', as is called in the documentation), i could not see any effect but i could see it was a mess. flash is not the only thing out there to work with pictures or to work with mouse events, but is the only one that deals with things like 'target' and 'currentTarget'. my first experience on needing this was when i was dealing with my own event handlers (so the only thing that had control over mouse was the stage, and i would admin everything via script). there were events generated everywhere, the stage got events that were not genrated directly over the stage, but got there not with stage coordinates but the coordinates relative to the sprite that generated the event. so if i hover the mopuse over the stage, and the stage has some things on it how does it work? i get multiple event calls, like it was hovering multiple times over the stage in a single frame, but in each call with different coordinates? and what if i set all child sprites as mouseenabled=false or compare like 'if (event.target != event.currenttarget)', what if i move the mouse over a child, does it prevent the move mouse event at all? or does it filter only the event call with only stage coordinates? in my case, every time i move over another clip (with mouseenabled = true), the stage gets it as 'mouse up', even tough there was never a mouse release, what the hell? do even the people at adobe know how to handle events with their own tool when they require it? why does an event 'bubble' when i have not specifically tell it to do it? mi thought is that this event flow was very poorly conceived, and tough the intention may have been that there were different cases and it shopuld cover all cases, they actually introduced new problems that were not present in traditional ways to handle it, and it is neither the easier way to handle things, and this way, a very simple problem turns into a very ugly thing because it must handle things that were not neccesary to handle, or were implicit in other situations.
    4. legacy: since as3, all interaction is different, and if you want to do things in the new plattform, using the new features, what you already knew just goes to the garbage can. when a new tool arrives, it should be an extension to previous tools (which is a reason to update instead of just buying a new tool from a different vendor). if everything i had or knew just means nothing from now on, then i can not say 'i know flash script', and my previous knowledge gives me no advantage when aproaching the new version. as3 is a new aproach that requires doc reading and stuff, even if you knew something about previous as specifications or other oo languajes. if you decide to change things from now on, like the things mentioned in this post, instead of just throwing away everything the users alerady knew about the tool, do like in java releases, they mark some things as 'deprecated', they keep working as they should, give a warning, but also a message saying this feature is deprecated, we suggest you use this library instead.
    5. lack of previous functionality: if you 'update' something, it meand all previos functionality is still there (probably improved, but not with bugs if it was working fine), plus something else. now it seems backwards, there are some things that could be done in previous versions but not in this one, like 'duplicatemovieclip'
    6. inconsistency with scripting/programming paradigms: (ok, fancy work, but fits perfectly here): as3 proposed ways to handle things, but the people who designed it got 'too creative', and they did something that is not consistent neither with previous versions of as or with other languajes. the documentations is full of things like 'it looks like x languaje or languaje family, but instead of using XXX word, you must use YYY'. great, what is this? namespaces 'work like', but 'differently' for example from java, .net, .c. its got the idea that a namespace means a grouped functionality but there are rules about where should be placed the file (ok, java has this also, .net takes care of it automatically if all files are registered in the project), but what you got is a mess that 'if you know other languajes you got the general idea, but nonetheless, even if you knew this or previosu versions of as, you still have to read whatever we decided arbitrarily just to be different'. namespaces, event handling, vars definition which is not like previous scripting neither like fully typed languajes.. is just a mess.
    7. lack of scripting and graphics integration: unlike flash and adobe tools that just got on the graphics side leaving all the scripting integratuion apart, most tools from other vendors integrate very well interacton with what is on the screen. the script editor: very poor. autocompletion? a drop down list that does not heklp at all, appears in the wrong places, and when you need it to go, it does not go (so if i want to move away from the uncalled drop down list, i have to click somewhere else, making developement slowewr instead of helping, so the drop down list does not capture all events when i dont want to). in other ides you double click somewhere and it will go to the part of code relevant to that event or whatever. for example microsoft tools, ok i am antimicrosoft, and one of the reasons was that when windows 95 got to market proposing itself as the ONLY pc os you could use if you wanted to keep useing the apps you already had, it was a lousy product full of flaws but you had to keep using it because you had no choice. what is so different from what is happening with flash just now? yet the ide of c# is awesome, works very well and seems reliable.
    adobe people: not all user are designers that just make pretty pictures. if it is not intended for scripting then why is it there. and if there are corrections to be done, they should patch all versions, not only the last one. previous version users also paid for their versions.

    Well, there is no point in arguing.
    I personally believe AS3 does exactly what it promises to do within limits (read: reasonable limits) of ECMA type of language. And sometimes it doesn’t do what we expect it to for it cannot possibly emulate everyone’s thinking process. The task, I guess, is to learn to think in terms of AS3 – not to try to make AS3 think like us. No language covers all the grounds. And no, it is not Java - with no negative or positive connotation. It is what it is. Period. I just hope that AS5 will be more Java like.
    You are right about the fact that it is not necessary to know all the aspects of language in order to perform the majority of tasks. But it is paramount to have a clear idea about such fundamental concepts as display list model and events. For instance, depth swap has no meaning in terms of AS3 because display list object stacking is controlled automatically and there is no need for all these jumping through hoops one has to perform in order to control depth in AS2. There no more gaps in depths and one always know where to find things.
    Similarly, there is no point in having duplicateMovieClip method. More conventional OOP ways of object instantiation accomplishes just that and much more. Just because OOP object instantiation needs to be learned doesn’t mean past hacks have place in modern times. duplicateMovieClip is a horse carriage standing next to SUV. What one should choose to travel?
    Events are implemented to the tee in the context of ECMA specifications. I consider Events model as very solid, it works great (exactly as expected) and never failed me. True, it takes time to get used to it. But what doesn’t?
    By the way, speaking about events, contrary to believe in Adobe’s inconsideration to their following. Events are implemented with weakly reference set to false although it would be better to have it set to true. I think this is because there are smart and considerate people out there who knew how difficult it would be for programming novices to deal with lost listeners.
    I think AS3 is million times better than AS2. And one of the reasons it came out this way is that Adobe made a very brave and wise decision to break totally loose from AS2’s inherent crap. They have created a totally new and very solid language. If they had tried to make it backward compatible – it would be a huge screw up, similar to how our friends at Microsoft are prostituting VB and VBA – extremely irritating approach IMHO.
    Also, Flash legacy issues shouldn’t be overlooked. Flash did not start as a platform for programmers. Entire timeline concept in many ways is not compatible with the best OOP practices and advancements. I think for anyone who is used to writing classes the very fact of coding on timeline sounds awkward. It feels like a hack (and AS2 IS a pile of hacks) – the same things can be nicely packaged into classes and scale indefinitely. As such I wouldn’t expect Adobe to waste time on hacking timeline concept issues by making smarter editor. They have made a new one – FlexBuilder – instead. Serious programmers realize very soon that Flash IDE is not for developing industrial strength applications anyway. So, why bother with channeling great minds into polishing path to the dead end?
    I would like to state that all this is coming form a person who knew Flash when there was no AS at all. And I applaud every new generation of this wonderful tool.
    I believe Adobe does a great job making transition from timeline paradigm to total OOP venue as smooth as possible. And no, they don’t leave their devoted followers behind contrary to many claims. They are working on making developing Flash applications as easy as possible for people of all walks. Welcome Catalyst!
    Of course there is not enough information about AS3 capabilities and features. But, on the other hand, I don’t know any area of human kind activities that does.

  • Fade in from black (pink flash in-between frames) in premiere pro cc

    Hello,
         when i fade in from black I get a transparent pink flash in between frames as the effect is happening.  The footage has a white background which makes the color very noticeable.
    I have tried key framing opacity, and using a levels, and the same result occurs. 
    Any thoughts??  Thank you all
    I'm using a 2008 mac tower with quad core and 32 gigs of ram.  Os X.8.5

    CC 2014, source is 1080mts and the open CL was on.  I believe that was the issue, as well as other things the way the transparency and the blacks were interacting, after turning off mercury playback it fixed the black issues.  Havent been on the project in question for a while to check if that fixed the pink bars as well, though.

  • Firefox is constantly freezing up, and I can't get it going again until I close pluginscontainer.exe which, when freezing, is quite large (sometimes even as big as 300MB). What is causing this? It seems to happen on pages with Flash.

    I have already tried reinstalling Firefox, using both the BETA and Stable releases. I've cleared all of my plugins and started over with them, reinstalling Flash multiple times as well. After an uninstallation, I even went as far as deleting Mozilla from my Appdata folder on my user account and from Program Files to assure complete uninstallation.
    This crash happens multiple times in a day, I can't go 20 minutes of browsing without this happening.
    Also, there are multiple instances of plugin-container.exe running (right now, 5).
    Thank you so much for your help, this issue has been driving me up the wall and I just could not get it to stop.

    There is a known issue where multiple instances of plugin container open if history or cookies are cleared. Are you, or some utility clearing firefox cookies or history, that could be the reason. This problem continues even if plugins are disabled in Firefox.
    *Are you opening multiple instances of Flash Player ?
    * Is the problem reproducible ? <br/> for instance does it always crash the plugin or cause it to hang if you use a particular site ?
    If you get the FlashPlayer plugin crashing use the option to submit the crash reports, it is then possible to follow them up. It is possible to stop the plugincontainer opening, but that could result in a firefox crash. Of course the firefox crash can also send crash reports out, and that could be useful.
    * see [[plugin crash reports]]
    * [[what is plugin-container]]
    * [[firefox crashes]]
    There are some problems with FlashPlayer currently under investigation, and there may be other threads in the forum about problems. (e.g. Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs )
    Sometimes using Firefox 3.6 is a workaround that helps with FlashPlayer problems, if you wish to experiment with that consider installing firefox Portable and using Firefox 3.6.23 (or soon 3.6.24) for tests with flash player, whilst keeping firefox 7 for day to day browsing.

  • HT5271 What's the best Flash player to use with a (pre-Intel) G5 Mac OS 10.5.8 using Safari 5.0.6?

    I'm using my wife's old G5 running OS 10.5.8 and Safari 5.0.6. Being denied access to streaming video sites like Netflix because of out-of-date flash player. Is there any newer iteration I could download that wouldn't be counterproductive (by disabling what does work now on Hulu and YouTube, etc). I gather that Adobe may have jettisoned the non-Intel Macs. I can't even find the specs on this G5's player. It doesn't show up as a plug-in on System Preferences' Network list, as it does on my MacBook Pro. Any options you can suggest would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Flash player 11.1 hack on PowerPC - https://discussions.apple.com/message/16990862
    Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think. 10.5 now.

  • What's wrong with my flash tags?

    I'm writing my own software to generate SWF files (very simple ones that just display a single image). The order the SWF entries are written in are:
    SWF Header (the main file header)
    Tags:
         FileAttributes (required for version 8 or higher)
         DefineBitsJPEG2 (contains JPEG format image)
         PlaceObject2 (places it into Display List)
         ShowFrame (displays to the screen everything in the DisplayList)
         End (tag that ends the SWF file)
    When I load the resulting SWF file into a web browser (or the standalone Flash viewer) what I find is that it just has a white screen. The image isn't being displayed. Is there something wrong with the order of the tags in my SWF file? I can't find any debugger software that will analyze the tags in the SWF file and tell me what's wrong with them.
    Can anybody here help me with this?

    And, occasionally it will boot into open firmware.
    Seems odd to me. All by itself? Did you press any keys?
    I don't know what to do from here. I can still boot into os 8.6 with extensions off.
    Most likely, you have a bad extension. They are in a folder called extensions What you need to do is create a new folder and move extensions to this folder. Move extensions to the folder in groups. try 1/2 first. Move back & forth between folders. See which extension is causing the problem. command + n to create a new folder
    verify that you have the correct firmware.
    Figuring out what level of firmware you have?
    1) Mac OS 9.x or 8.x, you need to use the Apple System Profiler.
    Apple -> Apple System Profiler
    2) Mac OS X, use the System Profiler.
    Apple -> About This Mac
    click on the More Info... tab
    click on Hardware
    read the Boot ROM Version
    3) Open Firmware, boot into Open Firmware.
    Power on your iMac while holding down commandoption+of
    The first output line contains the firmware level. Mine reads:
    Apple PowerMac4,1 4.1.9f1 BootRom built on 09/14/01 at 13.18.04
    Copyright 1994-2001 Apple Computer Inc.
    The 4.1.9f1 will be different on a 333 machine.
