Ok so this is probably the most frustrating thing I have ever come across in an editing software. All of the clips I want have been imported and placed on the time line, the thumbnail of the clip is showing (meaning media is online) but the preview screen is black. Sometimes, the video with play like it should, but will cut to just a black screen out of nowhere while still playing the audio. The worst part is when the clips say (media offline) and nothing happens what so ever. I have reduced the preview quality to auto (the lowest one), unchecked the "close media files when not active" thing and I have tried the clean media solution. None of these have worked in the long term and it is beyond frustrating. The files I am uploading are .MOV if that makes a difference. Anyone know how to solve this so that is program actually... I don't know... works?
