White background in composition window while rendering

I've got some footage that, while rendering, the composition windows background (not the comp background) turns white. I think remember from somewhere that this is a sign of a codec issue? I can't seem to find the correct search criteria to find this information. Anyone know if my recollection is accurate?
While rendering the window looks like this:
and/or any one know of a thread or help document that could have given me this idea?
I've also asked thsi question over at the cow but didnt get a resolution:

thanks!

I think it's an OpenGL thing. The video buffer gets corrupted (I think?)  I get white borders or this:

A restart of AE usually fixes it. It's purely cosmetic. Everything renders fine.
You mention ProRes, so you're on a Mac. The Nvidia/ATI drivers on Mac have always been notoriously funky.

  • T-Bird keeps automatically switching from composition window to main window while I am typing, which leads to typed letters being interpreted as hotkey commands

    Hi,
    Since I switched to Windows 8, I've had this problem with T-Bird. Updates and safe mode have not fixed it.
    Basically, while I am composing a mail, t-bird automatically switches to the main window. Because I am in the middle of typing, it usually freezes for a moment, sometimes longer and goes transparent and a (Not Responding) appears, but usually unfreezes and then interprets all the intervening keystrokes as commands. All sorts of damage is done: messages deleted, threads hidden, sometimes a "go to last unread message" box appears. It's a real drag.
    I thought it might be a keystroke combination that is making the program change windows, but I'm fairly sure I've seen it switch when I just have the composition window idly open. I think it may be switching whenever T-bird checks for new mail.
    One thing to mention: I often switch between US English keyboard layout and Portuguese language layout. I haven't systematically tested whether it happens in one or the other, but the POR layout has some accent marks here and there. still, I've been careful not to accidentally touch the CNTRL key and as I say, I've seen it switching while idle.
    Any help is appreciated. It's getting to the point where I can't really use T-Bird any more and am sadly looking for alternatives.
    Thanks,
    BL

    Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

  • White background while loading?

    There's a white background visible as my flash swf loads. The
    background is set as the same color as the page background. Is
    there a way to fix this? Does my flash swf just need to load more
    quickly?

    Thanks!

    Hi Beth,
    it is the way I guessed, you don't have the bgcolors defined
    in your object and embed tags. I have done that already. Should I
    post the code here for you to copy and paste, or email you the
    file?
    BTW.: This would be a good moment to incorporate something
    like swfObject to circumvent the "Active-Content" issue and add
    flash detection and a non-Flash alternative, while we are at it.

  • While editing saved PSD files, png elements have a white background when resized

    Hi,
    I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.  When I open a psd file that I previously worked on and saved, when I try to resize or in some way change the different elements(layers) of the layout, they get a white background inside the bounding box for that layer.  The different elements(layers) where pulled in from png files that had transparent backgrounds.  When I initially resize or change those layers the white background doesn't appear.  It only happens when I reopen the saved psd file to make some changes to it.  What do I need to do to stop that from happening?
    Thanks in advance for you help!
    Katheryn

    You can't drag from the project bin in PSE 6 and 7. Items you move this way become a kind of semi-smart object on a special passthrough layer. Use copy/paste or drag from the layers palette of the png file into the main image window of the psd file.

  • Blinking screen while texting on white background

    Hi guys i just noticed that whenever i text and the background is white, the screen usually blinks a little but noticeable,, for example here i will text this is white background i will see from here that my screen is blinking while im texting specially when i'll touch the space bar.. Uhmm its not a major problem but i found it somewht annoying on my part because my friend has a nokia lumia 610 and i already tried what ive tried on my nokia lumia 900 and it seems that his phone has no problem regarding with the littleness blinking screen.. Hmmm it is only 6days old phone.,
    Fyi guys ive tried to adjust the brightness to low,medium and high. And switch to white screen background would i just reset the phone?? Does someone experiencing what im experiencing right now??

    Sounds like a similar problem that's been around forever with the 710.
    My theory is that it's a hardware bug regarding the timer register used to generate the PWM signal that controls screen brightness.
    If it doesn't happen on the highest brightness (try it again) it's further evidence.

  • Pure white background has bluish gray shadows while the histogram is showing completely white. How do I fix this?

    While editing photos of subjects on pure white backgrounds, the histogram will show completely red while the image still has bluish gray shadows present.
    Is the histogram the issue? If so, how do I recalibrate the histogram so that it picks up these faint shadows?

    You probably need to recalibrate your monitor

  • How Do I: Remove White Background From a Non-Standard Sized PDF?

    Hello. Been a little while since I was last here.
    My issue is pretty simple. I am creating a PDF in Acrobat Pro X from MS-Word 2007. My document is landscaped half-page sized (US), so dimensions are: 8.5" wide, 5.5" high.
    When I attempt to print to PDF, the dimensions come out correctly, but there is a white background which is the size of a landscaped 8.5" x 11" sheet. Against this background, the 8.5" x 5.5" area is situated (nearly) centered vertically, but "right-justified" horizontally (see image). I need to find out how to fix this.
    Here's what I know:
    In MS Word:
    For "Page Setup" (under Page Layout tab):
    - under Margins tab, orientation is landscape;
    - under Paper tab, "Paper size" is "Custom size", with Width 8.5", Height 5.5" ;
    - No changes under Layout tab.
    For "Preferences" (under Acrobat tab)
    - under Settings tab, "Conversion Settings" are a custom setting ("Advanced Settings"), with "Default Settings" of Width 8.5 inches and Height 5.5 inches.
    When I Print > Adobe PDF:
    For "Properties" in Print window:
    - Under Layout tab, "Orientation" is "Landscape" ;
    - Under Paper/Quality tab, "Paper Source" is custom with Width 8.5" and Height 5.5".
    - Under Adobe PDF Settings tab, "Default Settings" is "High Quality Print (Custom)" with (Custom) being the settings I set under Acrobat > Preferences.
    - Also under Adobe PDF Settings tab, "Adobe PDF Page Size" is custom with Width 8.5" and Height 5.5".
    The result is pictured above.
    The last thing I did before posting this was run Help > Repair Acrobat Installation in Adobe X. Any suggestions? You can't do worse than I have.

  • New Mac Pro (late 2013) crashes / freezes while rendering or editing in Premiere Pro CC

    We recently purchased a new Mac Pro desktop (Late 2013, 16GB memory, D700 Graphic Card, 2.7 GHz -12 Core, OSX 10.9.3) and we are running Adobe CC on it. When using Premiere Pro CC (7.2.2) I am having major issues while rendering and editing. About 50% of the time when I try to render it starts off real fast then just freezes. This happens in Premiere and Media Encoder. Sometimes I can just Force Quit Premiere or Media Encoder and other times I have to do a hard restart on the entire computer because the entire computer freezes. The computer will also occasionally freeze whenever doing simple editing or stacking layers. The  computer will also just decide to suddenly stop and restart when editing or doing simple tasks like browsing the web. Additionally there has been several times if the render does finish, the final video will have digital glitches throughout the video. I have to redo the render once or twice and it will finally be fine. This all is happening several times a day. This never happened on our previous Mac Pro, but we were not running Mavericks. I used Migration Assistant to transfer from old computer to new computer. So I don't know if this is an a problem with the actual Mac Pro, Mavericks, graphic card or Adobe? But right now I am very frustrated as you can imaging spending all this money for a computer that has been giving us more issues than our previous computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Get rid of bright white background on web pages

    I need to change the background color behind text to something other than bright white to lessen the eye strain I'm experiencing. Although I can change the color in Windows 7, when I'm online web pages still have that white background, and for older eyes this is a problem.

    You could try Options>Content>Fonts and Colors>Colors>Background.
    Play around with this for a while. There aren't many suitable colors but I use a creamy white for blank pages. You can check or uncheck "Allow pages to use their own colors . . ."

  • How do I create a transparent watermark for video from a white background logo in AI CC?

    If I have a .PNG logo with a white background, how do I create a transparent watermark to use in video and photo content using Illustrator CC? Whenever I import the logo, it opens a new window without a transparent background. Thank you!

    It's fairly easy if you know Ai. (Image trace is okay, but I'd recommend making your own (the right way), then use any Adobe pro video app to composite on your video, no need to export, just use the .Ai file)
    But an easier way might be to use the .png by itself if it carries an alpha channel.
    After Effects, PremierePro, and possibly AME will let you do this.
    QT7 will also allow you to do it.
    You could create a logo in Draw, then send it to Illustrator or Photoshop (it carries an alpha channel - bonus!)

  • Any secret methods for removing a white background?

    Stock images often come on white backgrounds. While I need this for print, it got me thinking if there was any clever way to build an alpha channel in AE. I haven't found a really fool proof way other than "Blend if" sliders. But that requires that I have a background to composite onto. It doesn't actually generate an alpha.
    I don't wanna touch luma key and edge feather/choke. It's really important that I keep the detail. Its like I need Keylight for White.

    Navarro:
    I have keyed dozens of those in PS by using first Quick Selection for the rough matte, then (don't panic) Color Range, which is completely improved in CS4 by using "clusters" - it not only takes into account similarity, but also proximity to build clusters of similar colors (in the past, clicking a color here selected all similar pixels everywhere). The way I use all this is with two layers - one for the hard matte from Quick Select, then just the edges from Color Range. All with non-destructive layer masks, to retouch if needed.
    In AE, Linear Color Key works very, very well for plain color backgrounds. But white is awful because highlights on the subject/object are keyed as well.
    The Extract effect is as close as you can get to Keylight for luminance. But you're still going to have issues with highlights. You need something that doesn't just select based on luminance values, but also takes regions into account. That's what Quick Select/new Color Range in PS does for me in a couple of minutes.

  • White Background Isn't Really White -- Gray #F8F8F8

    I'm having a funny issue with FCE 4.0. I have keyed out a grayscale background and inserted a solid white background underneath. The movie preview window looks perfect; however, when I export the video the white background is no longer white. The gray value is #F8F8F8 or 2.7% grayscale.
    I think I've exhausted all the rendering configurations and am now thinking it has to do with the color pallete of the video file. I shot this video using a Canon HF10, then imported into iMovie 08 and exported to Final Cut XML.
    The reason why I think it's an import issue is because I have had videos exported from iMovie 08 in the "iPhone" format with correct white levels, but I cannot get the desired white level from FCE. After hours of searching the only lead I have is that the color pallete might not be set to RGB; yet, I see no way to adjust the colors from YUV -> RGB in Final Cut Express (if this is even the case.. I dont know what my imported movie is set as, RGB or YUV).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. If this is very unusual, then I can try to get a sample Final Cut file for you guys to look at.
    Thank you for any help, and please let me know if I can provide more information.

    So I've figured out the culprit is an RGB filter on my video.
    What I've done is place a solid white rectangle at the top most layer, I still key out the background, but the video has a floating white rectangle now which should have the value #FFFFFF once rendered.
    Layer 3 - Floating White Rectangle
    Layer 2 - Capturee Video <--- RGB Filter
    Layer 1 - White Background
    Even though the RGB filter is only on Layer 2, it seems to affect Layer 1 and 3. I'm very new to Final Cut & Video editing, but I would not imagine a filter applied to a single layer affecting all layers in a project, is this not the case? If it is, anyone have some ideas on how to limit the effects of that item to Layer 2 only? I require the RGB filter to fix some unevenness in my Captured Video prior to Keying the background.
