Could you please confirm that you were able to clear the cache when you reset. (I only ask this because I once again just came across on another forum that it probably "did not happen".)

I followed the directions. When I re-started 16 my personal settings were gone. So I assume the cache was cleared.

@BillM , could you pls post a screen shot of your VP?

Maybe try turning the blue highlighted button next to text "preview (auto)" to off?

And compare the setting (click the down arrow next to the button) with the screenshot that @john_dennis posted.

Sorry ... VP is what?

Bill

VP = Vegas Pro

Did that. And every combination of settings there possible. No change.

Thanks.

Is your split screen effects preview enabled?

I do not believe so. That's the setting above the preview window that was addressed earlier.

Thanks,

Sorry, did not see that response. In your screenshot it appears to be enabled.

Something that I noticed. The thumbnails for the video clips on the timeline are not showing. No matter which choice in preferences that I set.

Then I would say you have a video driver problem.

Even if the problem is not happening in Pro 14?

Thanks.

Stranger things have happened. Sorry I can't offer any other advice.

>> >>Photos, titles, audio files all play and display fine

Try this. Ceate a standard 8 bit HD project with Photos, Titles and audio in VP16. Render to MP4 or MFX or some standard format. Start a fresh project using the MP4 or MFX you just rendered as media. Same problem?

That was one of the first things that I tried. Also tried adding a clip rendered from the working version Pro 14.
(I've been trying to troubleshoot this for a couple of weeks before turning to you folks for ideas.)

Thanks,

Maybe it is also wise to check if this location and its total content is available at your PC:

Appears to be complete. Thanks.

did you, at some stage, try to edit as proxies, ie switch files? what type of video files are these? (right click, investigate, see what playback codec is designated); and are the files still on your drive? maybe file type association with VLC broke something.

Also, try to copy the source files only into a new folder and create a new project..maybe; and reset you Vegas windows preset workspace..

Hi. Files are definitely on the local drive. Happens to multiple type files. I'll take a look at the codecs later. I do have VLC on my PC. So I'll take a look at that possibility as well.

Thanks.

Has VP16 always behaved like this? Did it ever work on your system?

Yes as I mentioned in my OP, it was working fine originally. Then suddenly this happened. That's what makes it even more frustrating.

Bill

All the more reason to wonder why resetting did not help.
