sony vegas black video preview screen
flyi...@shaw.ca
I have been using Vegas 8.0 with no trouble. I am working on a
project
and I opened a clip in the trimmer window... no problem.
Now however, when I go to the video preview screen I just get a black
screen when I run the regular timeline. Any ideas how I can get my
preview screen to show my timeline again.

Check that the "Split Screen View" icon (looks like a light/dark circle
at the top left of the Preview screen) is set to "FX Bypassed" and not
one of the other modes.

I was having the same exact problem. I've looked all over the net and
could not find any plausible solution, so I uninstalled vegas 8 , re-
installed it and it fixed the problem. I know, it's not the greatest
solution since we still don't know what caused it, so hopefully it
won't happen again, but at least for now, it's back to working. Hope
this helps you also.

With all due respect, it sounds like you didn't check any Vegas forums
(Sony, Creative Cow, DV Info) as this is a common problem.
Make sure the "Split Screen View" button is set to "FX Bypassed".
This is the shaded circle found on the upper left of the Preview window.

Hmmm....I'm having the same problem and this setting is as you say it
should be. I'm tempted to reinstall as I've been struggling to find a
solution to this for a while, but I shall persevere online for a bit
first.

Do you have an FX applied to the clip/event?

Hi Mike -
I'm not sure. I didn't apply one on purpose, but what I think may have
happened is that I have pressed a wrong key when trying to do 'ctrl+z'
and accidentally applied a crossfade or something. I am using the
trial versions of both Vegas Pro and Movie Studio to see which one
suits better and in MS the same thing happened and I checked the undo
steps and one of them referred to undoing a crossfade. I undid it and
the black screen went away. I haven't found the setting to apply a
crossfade yet though...so that I can undo it in Vegas Pro.
If I do get a solution I'll post it here for other people with the
same problemo. Many thanks for helping out a damsel in distress!

Okay, I managed to fix this finally. In the video track list, to the
left of the track view on the timeline there is a symbol of a blue
circle with a diagonal line though it. It mutes playback of the the
track, which, in the case of a video track, of course, makes it
invisible! I must have clicked on this accidentally.

Ariane, that's an "error" I never would've thought of.
Good catch figuring it out.

I'm not an experienced user of the software. And, at one time, neither
were you.
