Vegas Pro 11 No Video Preview

Post by DustyAstroidRain » Sun Feb 12, 2012 7:34 pm

So, I just got Pro 11 and I'm doing the tutorials to learn everything but the issue is no matter what video I put it (I tried home videos from a digital camcorder to clips that I still had from an old AMV I made 6 months ago) there's no preview for the video. I have it loaded on the timeline and everything and when I hit play the cursor moves along the timeline and played the music I selected no problem - but no video at all appears in the preview window, even when I do the preview on an external monitor.

Anyone have a similar issue and found a solution? I'm a total noob editor so pardon my idiocy if this is something super simple >.<

Okay so reading through LadyMercury's guide on here and I got to the part about transitions and where it talks about dragging the edge of the clip on the timeline I tried it out... And while I'm holding onto the clip it's image appears in the preview window... But still not when I hit play lol... So I believe the clip is not faulty! I'm just missing something very essential and I do not know what it is >.>

Also my codec was not Divx or Xvid, it was UTVideo and they're .avi clips. I tried downloading someone else's AMV and opening it in the program and putting it on the timeline and now the preview works for their clips. Annnd of course, when I take out my song and just play the clips by themselves, they show up in the preview... :evil: The audio is .mp3 and when it's there the audio will play but not the clip. However, interestingly, if I use someone else's AMV and place my clip at the beginning of it, I get my clip playing in the preview with their audio playing. *sigh*

Okay I have no idea why but after I removed the music, I put the video on there first and the audio second and now it works O.o Sooo this thread can be deleted if mods would like or if someone has a similar problem - that's how I solved it lol
