No video during playback in timeline
I am having problems viewing my project through my timeline. I can hear the audio, but there is no video. When I pause or stop my project in the Sequence monitor, I see it briefly, but then it goes back to black. Does anyone have a clue why this happens? I’ve reviewed the playback settings…still nothing…Please help.

Most likely cause is a codec that is not supported. What are the properties of the clip? Does it play fine in the Source window and not in the Program window? What is the source of the clip?

What are your project settings, and a description of the video you are using?

I believe they are all avi files, but I’m not sure. This has happened on and off with projects I’ve pulled from DVD’s from another machine I was using. I imported through Firewire into a program called Ulead. I then imported those file into my Premier project. It happens on and off, but last night, after several reboots, it continued…

I believe its set a the Default settings in Premier. DV Playback, 29.97?? fps. I’m really not sure. Is this what I need to adjust? the video settings? Is this in the initial new project set-up? Like I said, the audio appears to be fine…even when I inserted bars I got nothing in my monitor. The video is there because when I pulled up the Vector display…it appears there, as well as some of the other options. Just not during normal playback from my timeline.

Microsoft support for digital video involves the DirectShow architecture which consists of 2 types.
Ulead, Movie Maker and other NLE’s produce a DirectShow type 1 DV.avi. Premiere needs Type 2. Suggest exporting back to DV tape from Movie Maker and recapture in Premiere. -
I’ll try that. Any reason why this seems to happen Sporadically? At times I can playback with no problem, and other times it does this. Another problem is that there are files I used for a project that are now only available on DVDs. Are there specifc settings for importing DVDs into Premier? Thanks a bunch for your help.

It seems not a day goes by without questions about importing video from a video DVD. Do a search here.
There is no magic bullet but if the DVD is not copy protected, Premiere Elements 3 is a good solution. I have copied the VOB files to the hard drive, used VideoRedo Plus to do basic cuts and create Mpeg files (without rerendering) that go direct to Encore.
