H E L P !!!!

Does VS10+ use a different method/codec for displaying "clip" and "project" views?

The reason I ask is that I have some MPEG-2 video imported to my library.
- If I view it in the library or drop it into a project and hit the play button, I get a blank preview screen with sound.

- If I drop it into the time line and then click on "Project" and then play I can see the video and hear the sound.

- If I hold the mouse arrow on the Jog Slider and hold down right arrow, I can see the video but no sound...

None of these are optimum when it comes to editing the clips!!

I have check and I am on Directx 10,I also have the "Instant playback" and "Target Preview Window" options selected.


I have similar issues viewing AVI files but ticking the "Display DV timecode on Preview Window" seems to fix this...

Am I doing something stupid or is VS10+ playing up?

Please don't tell me to reload the software as I'm halfway through editing a large holiday collection and do not want to start again!

cheers,

Daran.

You can reinstall the software without it affecting your project, as long as you save the VSP and the all the clips that go into it.

but will it fix the issue - don't want to lose everything to no avail

ok - did a repair... had no effect.

I'm out of ideas now

You might want to double-check the DirectX. DirectX itself is updated from time to time but the version number doesn't always change. Just because you have v10 doesn't mean it is the most recent version.

Also, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.
