No video in preview window

I edited some video last night, but when i opened Premiere Pro CC this morning, the video will not show in the preview window. Sound is working fine. Preview is set to show preview of the timeline. Everything is in the right place on the time line. I don't know how to fix it.
Have anyone experienced the same problems?
Hope you can help.

Is there a way to capture video of what you do in preview window

i find it fascinating to toggle rapidly forth on a scene in the preview window.
is there any way that i could capture this rapid backwards and forwards movement on video?

If you upgrade to iLife 09, you can have fast motion, slow motion, reverse motion without any third party tools. [See this link for a screenshot and description|http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html#clip%20adjustments]
You could also use a screen capture application like Snapz Pro X, or similar.

Preview window not displaying video

As of yesterday when I was in the middle of a project, the preview window simply stopped displaying all video being played off the timeline. It previews the videos in the top left window just fine though. I restarted the program and it still did not fix the problem.
However it seems to be acting strangely in that at random times the video will show up, but then dissappear again once it passes an edit point. I also tried dropping a new clip in the timeline, which caused every thing to work again. Then 10 seconds later the preview disabled not allowing me to see anything. Whether I play it or keep it paused at a point, nothing shows up.
I have been editing this same project for a couple of weeks with no problems. I know it has nothing to do with the media. Running off the latest update and latest OS software.

Actually I just took out one of the clips, which seemed to be causing the problem. No idea why that is since its the same format as the others.
I forgot to mention another unrelated problem going on. Sometimes during playback the audio will revert to a loud buzzing sound at random points in the timeline. Its at a different point every time. Sometimes happens 5 times in a row. Other times every thing will be fine for a few hours.
I trashed the prefs, repaired permissions and rebooted.
Edit: forgot to mention the audio levels are well below red line

Video not fitting into preview window

Hello,
I have been running into a problem that I have not had untill I restored my computer a few months back. To start off I know my video files are in 720p and I have the sequence setting set accordingly. When I place the video files into the "Source" the full video is shown. However, Once the video is brought onto the timeline the preview window shows it much more expanded tot he point where only the very middle of the video can be seen. I have gotten around this in the past by dragging the corners in and copying the scale to every individual clip but it has become extreemly monotonous.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thank you
the atttached screenshot shows the problem

To start off I know my video files are in 720p and I have the sequence setting set accordingly.
No, they're not. They're 1440x1080; you can see that in the project panel. Functionally, they're 1920x1080 since they're HDV. So, you should be using a 1080i/p sequence preset... or you can use a 720p preset, but you'll have to scale the footage down to fit.
A quick way to create a sequence that matches your footage is to drag a clip to the New Item button at the bottom of the Project panel; it looks like the dog-eared sheet of paper.
If you want to use a 720p sequence, select all the clips and use the right-click > Scale to Frame Size option; optionally, you can manually scale one clip, and then copy and paste the Motion effect to all the other clips.

Video does not play in preview window.

I have recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3.
In any part of CS4 that uses video; Encore, Premeire and After Effects, video will not play in the preview window from a timeline when the play button is pressed. The playhead doesn't move, but the Play button toggles from Pause to Play when pressed. However, when I scrub the video, I can see it in the window. Video played fine in CS3.
My graphics card is a PNY nVidia Quadro FX 570 with the 178.26 driver. My computer is a Dell Precision 670.
I recently completed a project where I had to trim about 48 QuickTime video files created in Premiere 2.0, compressed with Sorensen 3.
The files were then added to Encore, and a DVD was created. The DVD worked fine. At no time could I preview video, unless I opened the edited video in QuickTime.
This has also happened with still and AVIs.
At no time do any of the CS4 programs freeze or crash the system.
Has anyone had this happen to them. Is it a graphics card issue.... I can't seem to find any info on a similar problem.
Thanks.

Try turning off (or lowering) Hardware Acceleration for your graphics card.
At the Windows Desktop, Right Click and select "Properties". Under the "Settings" Tab, select "Advanced". Select the "Troubleshoot" Tab and reduce the Hardware Acceleration. You will need to restart you computer to see if it worked. First, try it with no Acceleration. If it works, try increasing the Hardwar Accelearation one notch at a time - rebooting your computer each time. \
I obtained this procedure from the Adobe Technical Staff.

Preview window in premiere 10 will not show view video images

My Premiere 10 preview window will not show video images. There has been some on-line discussion that nVidia GeForce video card automatic updates is the problem and it has been suggested that I roll back to a previous card however the rollback button does not light up and can not be activated. Also I'm not sure that I'm using the correct settings for the preview window, what are the default settings?

I recommend that you try your question in premeire forum, so you have a better chance of getting an answer.

Premiere CS5 will not render video with titles on the fly in preview window

I am trying to use CS5 and notice if I add a title to the timeline overlapping any video and then attempt to play the video as soon as it hits the part with the title the video stops playing in the preview window. The background sound keeps going but video play back stops. In premiere CS4 it would render titles on the fly no problem. Why wont it do it in CS5? I should not have to render the timeline it should do at least a rough realtime playback without a full render. In CS4 it would play any and all effects on the fly depending on the resolution and the performence would vary depending on how many and what effects and transitions were applied to the clips but its very useful to get a quick idea how it will look. If I scrub, the titles playback while scrubbing no problem its only with actual playback it happens. Other effects and transitions I apply seem to render on the fly and play back in the preview window ok, it only seems to be the titles having the issues.
Any ideas?

Language = english
Latest updates = applied
Issue happens regardless of sequence settings

Usualy capture video from a canon HV30 using Cineform Neoscene capture software, this is 1440x1080 HD 24p clips. (issue with the titles happens on any imported video in any format though, even with no clips but on a matt background)
Cineform Neoscene capture software version 5 latest version
Only using stock premiere plugins
No error message
I want to use the built in premiere title function to place titles along with fades and what not and then play back clips in the preview windows with the titles applied rendering on the fly. This works perfectly in CS4, just not in CS5. When I try it in CS5 after you hit the play button it will play the clip but as soon as you get to the part of the clip where the title is the video playback will freeze, mind you the clip is still playing in the sense that audio is still going just the video playback stops in the preview window. As a note if you scrub the video on the timeline the video clips will display with the titles applied it should, it is only when you hit the play button the problem happens.
I have tried adjusing the quality settings in the preview window, updated my gfx card drivers and system drivers along with directx. Premiere is updated. I have tested other effects and transitions and they display fine, including super imposures such as chroma key or ultra key. I have adjust playback settings not that there was much to adjust there.
I will say again in CS4 never had this issue, I am surprised to see it here.
Please any ideas would be appriciated thx.

Preview window does not display video

When I drag a clip to the time line,it will not play in the preview window.If I click on the preview window during playback,it shows me a frozen frame of that scene in the clip.I downloaded the latest driver for my Nvidia GTS 250 and it in the preview window fine until I rebooted the computer and now back to the same problem.It just shows me a target in the middle of the preview screen to adjust the frame but no image.
Am I missing something here?

I have video footage that I downloaded to a
raid 0 drive (1TB) ,i7 -920,windows 7 64bit, from my old sony digital8 as mpeg2 format.Quicktime ver. is 7.6.9
I can play any of the footage fine inside the organizer window that has thumbnails .Just not in the edit window.Also I forgot to mention that the sound plays fine in the edit window.As far as presets go,should Elements 9 set to proper preset that you drag to the timeline?
What presets should I be looking for to play this footage?

Video will not show in the preview window

I am using iMovie 08 and have some video that I pulled into iMovie using my iSight. Whenever I am trying to preview my movie it will not show in the preview window. I did a software update for iMovie and the issue is still happening. Any ideas??

Although the same not preview-able iMovie event played perfectly fine when transferred to a different mac running perian and divx, disabling Perian solved the issue on my macbook, too!
Thanks for the tip!
I still wonder why some clips preview and some don't (with perian running)...

Frozen video/preview window

hi there!
running iMovie 8.0.6 on my brand new macbook pro. have had great success with iMovie thus far until last night when i cut a 1hr 5min long video down to 8 minutes. all was well, but this morning when i come back to edit some more and add music, titles etc, the project won't play. when i click play on the project, either in full screen or regular screen mode, the audio starts playing and the little yellow line starts moving through the clips but the image in the preview window and in full screen is simply frozen on the very first clip in the movie. any thoughts why i can't see the actual video but can only hear it??
all help is greatly appreciated!
thanks!

hi there,
sorry for the delayed response. i actually had to call apple and unfortunately the fix wasn't that great. the project file was somehow corrupted - when i removed it from the iMovie program per their suggestion, the program and rest of the projects in it started working fine. their thought process was that sometimes when you're working in iMovie for too long without shutting it down/quitting, iMovie does not have the time to process the project files correctly, which is what could've messed up my project file. so i essentially needed to quit iMovie every once in a while to give it time to process the project. whether this is true or not i don't know, but it's the only answer they could give me. i actually had to remove the project and start all over! before removing the project though, i started a new one - you know how the event leaves a little orange or green line in the parts that have already been used and transferred into a project? i just followed those orange/green guidelines to get the clips i had previously chosen for the messed up project and put them into a new project. i then deleted the old messed up project that wouldn't play and everything has worked fine ever since. hope this helps a little!

No sound or video in Finder Preview window anymore

Hello everybody,
My hard drive recently crashed and I had to get a replacement drive, reinstall OSX, and migrate my backup clone back to the hard drive with SuperDuper. Everything is running fine, except for some reason I can't hear any sound, or see any video when previewing movies or mp3s in preview. The time marker moves to the right, but there is no sound or video. Sound works in itunes and in Quick time, but not in the preview?Volume is up all the way. I tried some sort of suggested adjustment in the Audio Midi utilities screen to no avail. Any suggestions

Ok, i figured out what the problem was. For some reason I had to install Flip4Mac to make the previews work again. Hope this helps everyone else.

AE cs6 video preview window doesn't work.

So the preview window of after effetcs cs6 isn't working. It just shows black screen. I need help fast.

Why am I not surprised? Yeah, the effin' mess they made with OpenGL drawing. Update your graphics driver and configure it properly. If it's supported, it should work, if not, the program will/ should automatically disable it. Trash the prefs after the driver update so AE scans again.

Mini guide and little video preview window causing Black screen!!!

I now have the same issue. Pressing the B button used to give me a pip with the guide on screen at the same time as live TV in the lower right corner. Now when pressing B the small box with live TV appears in the corner but the guide goes black. Pressing B again, closes the small pip window and restores the guide - different from what it was doing before.

Everytime you bring up the little mini guide with the right arrow on your remote and then exit out of it and then bring up the big guide or any other menu like On Demand for example and then bring up the little preview window by clicking the B button on your remote the entire guide or other screen like On Demand goes completely black!! The quick fix is to restart the DVR box but as soon as you use the mini guide and then the litle preview window it happens all over again. It is happening on all 3 of my Arris XG1v1 boxes with updates 1.55.02 and 2.02p12s1. Are you guys seeing this also? I hope this will be fixed soon as I use the preview window often. Can a Comcast Tech look into this issue please. ThanksI was able to replicate the issue you have, but instead of having to reboot the box, I just pressed the "B" buton to exit out of small pic and my Guide returned to normal. Takes some experimenting...

What is this white line under my preview window?

I accidentally hit T while editing and suddenly there were 2 preview windows in my preview window. I hit T again and it went back to 1 but now there's a white line under my preview screen. What is it? And did it do something to my image? How do I remove it? And what does T do in adobe premiere? And what were those 2 preview images in my preview window?
Here's a picture:

Dont think you have to worry about the white line. I think the program monitor is not updating correctly. Resizing the window should fix that.

IMovie 11 projects no longer working, preview window is glitched or black, event library not playing imported vids

I am having a lot of trouble with iMovie 11. I bought a new MacBook Pro 15" for the sole purpose of editing surgical videos for work. iMovie 11 was working great initially for me (taking full length surgical video - up to 2 hours) and editing these down to anywhere from 5 to 30 min videos highlighting crucial steps for the surgeries along with transitions, ken burns, etc (with the plan of overlaying narrative voice-over later). I had about 15 of these videos edited sitting in my Project Library and multiple imported videos (dvd to m4v via handbrake then imported via iMovie 11) in my Project Library. Now none of my projects play in the preview window, it's either black or a weird glitchy picture (like messed up pic of my doc or desktop... really weird) and only about 2 of my imported videos play in the project library, otherwise they are just black when I roll over them. My projects are still intact as far as edited clip lengths and transitions, but nothing plays, even in full screen mode. I tried making a new project and the imported video shows in the event library but when I add it to a project it's black (but does play in full screen mode, but impossible to edit this way). I think the audio is actually intact although i'm not positive because these videos don't have any audio (there's some baseline level that fluctuates on the audio bars).
I tried finalizing and exporting a project as an m4v (one that was a combination of two edited imported videos - one of the source imported vids working in the event library and the other not working) and the first half is all glitched up with no surgery video, but the second half is there with the transitions and everything (the half that is working in the event library). This part does not show up when I am trying to edit the project.
fyi - I had deleted some of the videos from my event library to unclutter a little some time ago, the projects were still working after that.
I can find all of my imported videos (in .mov format) that should be working in the event library when I look in the folder:
users/me/movies/iMovie events
If someone could please help me resolve this issue, I would really appreciate it. I put a lot of work and time into these videos and it would be near impossible to start from scratch (which would probably be on some other movie editor like windows movie maker since my iMovie is not working properly even for new projects). I'm hoping this is just some sort of glitch that can be fixed and my projects are still salvagable. I can't remember if this started after I did a system software update or not. This will be a huge dissapointment for me in the Apple platform if I have to scrap my projects because I had just switched over from the PC platform.
I even got Norton antivirus and internet security to make sure I don't have some sort of weird virus.
I have a Feb 2011 15 in MacBook Pro 2.2 Ghz, 4 g RAM, 750 g HD, 1 g vid card. iMovie ver 9.0.4. Lion 10.7.2

Did you by any chance upgrade your Mac OS from version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) to 10.7 (Lion) during the time you were working in iMovie on all these projects?
If not, start by deleting the iMovie Preferences file.
Go to the Desktop
Hold down the Option key and choose the Go Menu > Library
Go to Preferences > com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
Move the .plist file to the trash and restart iMovie
See if the Project files react any differently. Failing that try doing a Repair Disk Permissions:
Restart the Mac, hold down the Option key continuously until 2 hard drive icons appear
Choose the Recovery Volume as your startup disk and let it run until you see the Desktop
Choose Disk Utility from the Recovery Menu
Run Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility
Reboot the Mac and when you see the Desktop appear launch iMovie
See if the Project files are the same or different. Next step after this is to one at a time take the Project folders out of users/me/movies/imovie projects. Move one to the desktop and start iMovie. Try skimming the projects that acted up recently. Moving one project at a time might help isolate which project may be causing problems. You can also place project folders back in their original location after doing this testing and iMovie will recognize them on the next relaunch. It won't hurt anything.
