Crazy green screen when doing simple effects.
Hey Guys,
When I’m working with native footage in the timeline, (10 bit timeline, 10 bit footage, 10bit video display) and do any motion effects (scale, move) to a clip in the sequence, that clip turns the canvas and monitor into a bizarre green mess. I can render the selection and all is well, but i’m pretty sure this isn’t right. Even Avid Xpress can handle something simple like this. It becomes rather difficult when you’re trying to enlarge a clip to say, remove a mic at the top of the screen.
If I were to take a guess, I’d say I have a Kona 2 card issue. If not that, perhaps my setttings are wrong. I have unlimited RT on, my footage is coming from a rock solid RAID, and my settings are built for 10bit, so i’m at a real loss.
Here’s a screen grab of what i’m talking about.

I also trashed prefs to no avail…

I don’t generally work in 10-Bit, but when I see bright green or bright pink, I Immediately think corrupted media.
Can you try to re-caputre the clip? Or trash any render files and re-render?

Turn off your Kona 2 in A/V settings and see. It does kinda look like a SDI lock gone wrong, but why would you see it in the FCP windows? Also try RT Safe, and switch around your Video Processing mode…. it shouldn’t be doing that at all!

It’s a really weird thing. The clips play fine until I adjust scale or change the center of the clip, then it gets all green and screwy. I tend to not think of corrupted media, it’s not pink and funky like that and the clips play all the way through just fine. I’ll check my video processing settings again, but I tried switching to RGB, etc, with the same results…

I’ve found that it does this only with 10bit footage, not 8bit. It’s odd because you’d think the 8bit stuff wouldn’t work in the 10bit timeline… 8bit scales and moves fine.
this is all in the Apple 10bit Uncompressed codec. Should I be using the AJA when I digitize?
Thanks again guys…

Somebody was having similar issues with 10 bit material out of After Effects in the Kona forum the other day. I think he said that if he downgraded his drives, it fixed the problem. Going from 1.2 to 1.1.whatever_the_last_one_is, and it seemed to fix his situation. I was able to repeat his situation today and it must be a driver issue.

I’ve had a bit similar problems with dvcpro50 and the monitor turning greeen. Reinstalling QT and also choosing the Displays preference in system preference, and changing which monitor is the main monitor, and changing it back did the trick
