I am a beginner. I own a Canon HV30. I am have shot lots of footage, and I would like to play with the footage in editing, and learn Sony Vegas at the same time. I am capturing my video with a FireWire cable from my HV30 into my laptop. Uploading goes on without incident. Once I take a clip and put it onto the timeline the clip will only play audio. My pre-view screen is black. No video on the pre-view screen. I am not getting any video images from the clips on my timeline. Audio only. The only time a clip will play in the pre-view window is if I play the clip from the trimmer.

Why is the video from my timeline not playing on my pre-view? Why am I only getting audio? Is this a software issue? A camera issue? Or a issue of capturing? Please
