Adding "Black" vs "Fillers"

drbgaijin — Wed, 17 Sep 2008 21:53:42 GMT

In response to a question in the MC PC Forum I made a "quick" video tutorial.
The thread in the forum continued to get responses from other users and now contains quite a lot of good tips about different ways of adding "Black" or "Fillers".

The thread is at:

My "quickie" is below.

NB. there is a maximize button on the control panel..

Black Screen when playing sequence!

Kasle — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 13:19:59 GMT

Hi!

I just installed Avid Xpress Pro 5.7, but when i try to play a sequence the sound plays, but not the picture, it just shows me a black screen. As soon as i press "Pause" i can see the Video and i can fast forward using the arrows still watching the video. It is just like when you have created an effect, but not rendered it (Sorry for my bad english).

Any Sugestions? =)

Thanks in Advance

Getting rid of filler at the end

octavarium — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 00:52:42 GMT

I've asked this question before, and all I got was, "Look it up in the manual." Well, I don't have access to my manual at the moment, so some help would be appreciated.

I've just edited my video, and it has an extra minute or two of blank space at the end. I can't seem to get rid of it. I select all of the filler area and hit delete, but it doesn't do anything. I hate having this dead space at the end of my video.

How do I get rid of it?

Problem: video always play in black and white

yuval26 — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 12:34:10 GMT

Any captured material I play inside avid - is always displayed in black and white. When the video is paused and when advancing frames by frames - it shows the colors normally.

(Trying to search for posts from people who had a similar problem always yields results with questions about how to make a clip black and white... :( )

I'm running 5.0 on Windows XP SP2.

My video card is NVidia GeForce 8800GT.

The driver version is the latest: 6.14.11.6921

I cannot "rollback" to older driver versions that are more "supported" by Avid (like 77.18 or 77.77) - since these only support older cards (6 & 7 series) - when I try to run their setup - it tells me it can't find the right hardware.

I've read and heard from people - that the 8800 should work fine.

Buying another "older" card - is currently not an option.

Any advices will be appreciated...!

Thanks,

- Yuval
