  • Green background… why?

    Posted by Photomikey on January 24, 2007 at 1:13 am

    This is such a “n00b” question, I’m embarrassed to ask it. I know it’s come up on the forum before, but the search returns nothing (except a thousand chromakey questions). It’s especially frustrating that I know it’s an easy answer, but I can’t figure it out.

    One of my users has bright green on the timeline instead of black. I’ve checked her sequence settings, easy setup settings — even created a new project, and we still get green. Checked View-> Background, it’s set to black.

    I can’t get bars and tone or slug to come up. Just green.

    Now I added a completely new user, and that user’s timelines come up bright green, too.

    What’s wrong here?

    try trashing your prefrences. Search the frum for a detailed explanation. It’s all over (I myself have posted it a few times).

    Best,

    hi Ben , i know you said it was all over the forum, but i’ve searched everywhere and cannot find it. could you explain why this happens with the green background? and what a viable solution might be?

    OK, so i’ve found all the solutions on this site and it seemed like they worked for most people. trashing the prefs and constant frame floders. but no go for me.
    i’m running fcp 5.04 on a 1.5 GHz powerPC G4 powerbook with 1.5 GB RAM.

    any other ideas? would be very impressed if someone came up with a areal solution. i’ve seen this on every forum so far and not one real solution!
