When I export a video in Premiere, the colors flash purple and green. Why?

I bought the software just recently but I have exported files before and they worked fine.  I have a few speculations but I wanted to get an opinion.  I dont know what to do if my speculations are right either.
1. I used a small digital camera so the format may be unsupported.  It looks fine in the preview but when I set preview quality to maximum it flashes purple and green.  I have, on the same timeline, a small logo animation I made using after effects and that part looks fine.
2. I used after effects to color correct the video segements and then exported them as .mov's.  They look fine after they are exported.  Maybe this is causing a problem though?
3.  I noticed that I have been making the comps in after effects, 24 fps but when i looked at the settings in Premiere it says it is at 30 fps.  But I didnt see another option there.
Are any of these the problem?  Any advice or suggestions?  What should I do to fix it/prevent it in the future?
Thank you!

    If you keep getting a 'red' message it means that the HDD is faulty and will have to be replaced.  You will have to format the new HDD in Disk Utility>Erase and then install the OSX and your data from Time Machine.

  • When i export a video from iMovie the sound goes distorted?

    When i export a video from iMovie to my camera roll or to youtube the music i've added sounds distorted. When i watch it in iMovie it sounds fine. Any idea how i can solve this problem.
    Many thanks

    Yes, I experience this same problem. The grey doesn't show up until after it is uploaded to Youtube...

  • When I upload AE video to YouTube, the color is off (White turns to light Grey). How do I fix this?

    The title explains my issue plain and simple.
    Just a quick background, i do not know much about color spaces.  But I do know that different
    forms of media require using different colors (RGB, CMYK, all that stuff).
    I'm assuming this is the issue in my case - wrong color space or exporting formats.
    My question is:
    What do I need to do to get the final video that I exported to look exactly the same (in terms of color) when
    it's uploaded on YouTube? Strictly just the color, because I understand quality goes down when uploaded to YouTube.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions.

    You haven't given us much information about what you rendered out of AE.
    I always recommend rendering an intermediate codec out of After Effects (Cineform, DNxHD, Quicktime with the PhotoJPEG codec, etc.) and then taking that intermediate file into the Adobe Media Encoder to create your final piece. The Adobe Media Encoder even has YouTube presets.

  • When I export as a tif file, the colors of my illustration become...freakish.  Is there a way to correct this?

    When it is in pdf, the colors look/print the way I want, but when it is in tif they change.  How do I fix this?

    You have not provided any proper technical details like what version of AI, what system, how you review your files, color management, export settings. Chances are you are trying to view CMYK files in an RGB viewer, but beyond that we can't really know anything...

  • After watching a music video or a home movie for a few minutes in my ipad, when i go back to home screen the colors look lighter and weird for some seconds, is that normal? Thanks

    IT has happened to me like three times, i use my ipad all day literally and it gets kind of hot, i have tried to take a screen shot to show it but the last time it happened(thethirth time) i was shocked, i wanted this product for so long and if this is a big problem i would be very dissapointed, please help!

    Your iPad should not get "kind of hot", but since that is subjective, what is hot to you may not be hot to me. But no matter what, it should not get too hot to hold comfortably. I use my iPad all day long a work and it never gets hot.
    If you are getting shocked when you are using the iPad, that doesn't sound normal either. But once again, that is sort of subjective as well.
    My suggestion would be to take your iPad to an Apple Store and let an Apple Genius take a look at it just to be sure that there isn't nothing wrong with it. It is still under warranty and if there is a hardware, problem, it can be replaced under the warranty.

  • How to define the default thumbnail, appearing after exporting a video in Premiere Pro?

    Hi community,
    When I export a video in Premiere Pro, the default thumbnail (appearing in windows file explorer for example) is never the best.
    At my job, I need to create a lot of video that I publish through a CMS. Every time, i need to reset the preview thumbnail of the video because the default one is not accurate.
    How to define which frame of my video will be used as a preview thumbnail after the video is exported?

    This is not something you can control with PP.

  • Hi .. While working in PS it is freezing for a moment and wild purples and greens make large pixel patterns behind the program on the desk top. Any ideas ? Thanks.

    Hi .. A never before seen problem for me .. While working in PS with large files , the program freezes for a moment and bright pixels of flourescent colors of purple  and green fill parts of the background screen behind Photoshop. Its getting worse ? The programs are running extremely slow also. Thanks for any ideas.

    You can't and don't have a PowerMac (G5).
    Repairing Permissions, likely just waste of time.
    REPAIR the HARD DRIVE instead.
    Blowing dust around inside is a really bad idea. Or in the house.

    Hi MyAppleID99,
    You may want to check to make sure the clip hasn't been moved back and forth between wide screen and standard aspect ratios; sometimes a combination of letterboxing and pillarboxing can lead to a black frame "windowbox" when playing the final video. You may find the following article helpful:

  • When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted.. help?

    Firefox 3.6.8 and 3.5 (I downgraded to see if that would solve the issue)
    Windows 7
    Intel Core i5
    Flash Player: WIN 10,1,53,64
    When using Firefox certain videos play but the image is green and distorted. The image turns into lines and sometimes it half of the screen of the video. Examples are streaming MLB.tv video and some vimeo videos. The odd thing is that it isn’t all Vimeo videos. Is this a flash issue?
    The issue does not happen with Internet Explorer which leads me to believe this is an issue with Firefox. I downgraded to 3.5 and the issue still persists.

  • When I export a photo from lightroom, the image is very pixelated.

    When I export a photo from lightroom, the image is very pixelated. This pixelization occurs irrespective of whether I make adjustments in Lightroom.  It seems that just placeing the photo into he develope modual  without doing anything to it taints the image in such a manner that when it is exported from the develope modual the expot comes out pixelated.

    Brett,
    The photo i was a panorama knitted in Photoshop from four photos which were approx 3.3 MB each. The knitted pic came out to be 1.10MB. The panorama pic I was trying to refine in Lightroom and export came out to be 70.9 KB and extremly pixilated. Whether I altered it  in Lightroom  or not didn't matter.
    I can't imagine that bringing up the photo in the Develop modual would result in pixilization when it was exported regardless of whether it was altered or not altered.!!
    Attached is  a copy of the Photoshop saved and Lightroom exported photos before and after. I appreciate your help and interest. The top pic 1.10MB is what was saved on Photoshop. The bottom pic 70.9KB is the unaltered pic exported out of the Develop modual exhiiting the pixelization.

    When i pause a video in FCPX the current frame becomes clear but when i press play they become blurry?

    I had this SAME EXACT problem for WEEKS! >_<
    It was so frustrating. I tried everything I could. I was even using uncompressed video files (+60GB in size!) to try to fix the problem, but nope. Nothing. Except this...
    Go to:
         Preferences -> Playback -> Playback Quality and select "High Quality"
    By default, FCPX uses the lower quality setting to save resources.
    "...Playback Quality pop-up menu to choose whether to always use the highest-quality video for playback or downsized video for better playback performance"
