Project Manager clips not previewing video

DaveM2 wrote on 8/4/2009, 5:48 PM

Before I installed 8.0c, when I clicked on a clip in the project manager, the clip would display in the video preview window.

Now when I click on clip in project manager, I hear the audio, but the video does not show up in the video preview window.

I have looked at all the preference settings, and cycled through preview and split screen choices - but can't seem to get the project manager clips to display in the preview monitor.

Probably something simple - but I am baffled for the moment.

And to think we thought we were done with this question :-(

From the 8.0c Readme:

When the Show Video Monitor button in the Trimmer window is selected, video that you preview from the Vegas Explorer and Media Manager windows is played back in the Trimmer.
Because the Trimmer is placed in the same window dock as the Explorer and Media Manager, you will not see your video preview.
To preview Explorer and Media Manager video, you can drag the Trimmer to a new dock group, or you can turn off the Show Video Monitor button to preview in the Video Preview window.

thanks - I actually searched the forum - just must not have used the right terms. Appreciate that.

Yah, unfortunately it's been asked about a thousand times. This says to me that if things start playing in the trimmer then the trimmer probably needs to automatically come to the front so you can see it.
