  video blackout during training

  Posted by Scott Maida on January 20, 2011 at 5:11 pm

  I am following the training DVD that came with the fcp and suddenly, I can’t see any video. No offline warning and I closed the program and reopened.

  Are you saying that you can no longer see video in fcp? Or on whatever you were viewing your training DVD.

  If it is FCP – Go up to the VIEW Menu and make sure you didn’t accidentally hit the shortcut to ‘WIREFRAME’ Should be set to either IMAGE or IMAGE + WIREFRAME depending on your preferences.

  I accidently discovered that but now I KNOW the way out of blackness.
  Thanks!
  however, now I have a green circle with a check in it.
  meanwhile my DVD training continues… I’m a producer so I’m a little slow.

  Hey Scott,

  The green check is letting you know that your luma levels are safe for broadcast. Turn it off by going to:

  View Menu —-> Range Check —-> Off

  You’ve hit “UNDO” as if you were on Windows.

  CNTRL Z adds/removes the luma range check

  Best,
