  • Bad video card?

    Posted by Shawn Bann on March 6, 2010 at 7:45 am

    I’m trying to trouble shoot my system.
    In motion my project does not display properly
    (its either completely black or sometimes colorized and pixelated)

    BUT when i export it comes out fine, which leads me to think its my video card?

    my system- mac pro 2.66 intel dual core, running motion 4 on a ATI 3870.
    did a clean install of motion without any luck.
    trashed prefs and all that troubleshooting 101 stuff.

    debating on buying a new video card since i cant figure out what else it can be
    at this point! any insight/ideas would be great!
    thanks

    You aren’t using Color Munki are you? Causes this problem with Motion.
