Q: Preview window has a " flipping frame "

Hi everyone,

 

I set up Color on my new iMac, it's working properly but the preview window, when I do any modification is playing one one black frame out of two.

That means I can't really see the adjusment i'm doing, because even when I'm playing/rendering the clip, that does the same problem. Actually it looks like a stroboscope effect on the video.

Otherwisen the rendered clips are okay.

 

I had a look on every user preferences, but didn't find my answer.

 

Does any one have an idea about how to fix this annoying default ?

 

Thanks to every one,

 

Nicolas

iMac, iOS 7.1

    What format are your clips?  Could be a corrupt project.  Try bringing one shot directly into color into a new project and see if the problem persists.  Also, you could try resetting your color preferences using digital rebellion's preference manager.

    They are mov, Apple pro Res 422, the thing is that the projects grades correctly on my old mac book pro.

    The same project makes this odd flipping on the new Color.

     

    Okay I'm gonna have a look on www.digitalrebellion.com

     

    Thanks for your mail,

    Hello,

     

    So I tried the rebellion's preference manager, without any sucess.

    I tries to re-install it few times but it still didn't work out.

    That is realy weird because the preferences are the same than my one on my Mac boo pro actually working.

     

    That doesn't break my workflow because I still can use my old one, but that makes my iMac pointless wich is a pity cause that's one of the reason I got it  !

     

    If anyone has any idea..

     

    Thank you by advance,

     

    Nicolas

    Have you tried changing the screen resolution (and maybe the refresh rate) in system preferences:  displays?  Worth a shot.
