white screen in canvas/ no image when timeline paused
This is probably a very simple fix, but I can’t find it anywhere. Normally the canvas shows a still frame where you are stopped in the timeline. I bumped some shortcut (I guess) on my keyboard and now whenever I stop playback in the timeline, the canvas becomes a plain white screen. Does anybody know how to get my canvas to show the still frame again?

Go to the top ov your canvas window where you’ll find a small pull down menu. Choose the RGB setting instead of the gamma setting.

Sorry…….I meant Alpha setting, not Gamma setting. There’s 3 pulldown menus at the top of the window. Go to the one furthest to the right.

I’ve had exactly the same problem in FCP 7 and checked my settings but all correct. (ie it IS set to Alpha). I am also getting a “General Error’ message when i try to export the timeline but dont know if these problems are connected. Anyone with any ideas or help please?

Just had the same “white frame in pause” problem, and found that the dropdown was set to ALPHA instead of RGB.

When I set it to RGB everything went back to normal. I’m using FCP 7 too. Don’t really know how this got changed, but happy it was an easy fix. Glad I thought to search the forum before undertaking any more radical repair measures!

Yep, you’re right Thanks. It should be set to RGB (not Alpha). Dont know how it managed to change itself either (;)
