Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Purple preview screen

  • Purple preview screen

    Posted by Bruno Guerra on April 17, 2010 at 10:09 pm

    Hi, I’m using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and it works just fine. The only problem I keep having is that my preview screen is purple, and, although I am able to see images, it’s really annoying and doesn’t allow good editing.

    I am using a HP Pavilion dv6-1030us Entertainment Notebook PC, have plenty of hard drive space and 4Gb RAM, intel Core2 Duo and Windows Vista 64-bit.

    Can anybody please help me? Thanks in advance.

    This could be a grafics card driver problem.

    Is your preview internal on the laptop monitor or externally on a video monitor? also doesn your laptop use shared memory with intel graphics?

    I have a ‘Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for mobile’ card. Do you think that could be the problem?

    I just tried connecting my notebook to my tv (via serial) and it didn’t do any difference.

    What format of footage are you using and what are your project settings?

    I’m working with and MP4 format right now (although it happened before with an AVI file) and my project settings are:

    Video:

    Display format: Timecode

    Audio:

    Display format: Audio samples

    Capture:

    Capture format: DV

    (it should be noted that I’m not capturing this from anywhere, I ripped it from a DVD to make an off-line cut)

    Oh, I didn’t see the last part of your question. Yes, I think it does share part of the memory. Is that an issue?
