  No Picture in Video Window

  Posted by Donald Gibson on February 26, 2010 at 6:26 pm

  Hello All
  I have this problem. When I select a video clip from my hard drive to preview in the video window, I get sound no video. When I click on the event in the explorer window I get a picture. When I drop it to the time line no picture, just sound.

  I have click on the Trimmer Tab to disable the video monitor preview button. Just one problem there, I cannot see or fine the monitor preview button. I an running Vegas Pro 8.
  What am I missing?

  I have the following setting as far as I can see in the Trimmer Tap.
  (1) Sort Trimmer history (2) Clear Trimmer history (3) Remove current media form Trimmer history (4) Save markers/regions. (5) Open auto editor (6) Create Sub clip
  (7) Select parent media

  Thanks
  Don

  Which version of Vegas 8 Pro are you using? Starting from version 8c, the trimmer has been changed.

  Theo, I thank you and Terry for helping us old people (me) who do not understand this stuff. I download Pro 8c, went to Trimmer, cut the monitor off. I works just like you said it would. What I don’t understand, why it quit working in the first place.

  Thank you very, very much.

  It does not work. As long as the picture is open in the Trimmer, I get a picture in the Video Window, take the picture out of the trimmer, and put it on the time line not picture.
  I don’t understand, help

  ‘It does not work. As long as the picture is open in the Trimmer, I get a picture in the Video Window, take the picture out of the trimmer, and put it on the time line not picture.’

  This is what often happens when people start working with Vegas 8c. It has something to do with the new functions of the trimmer.

  On top of the trimmer you will find a button SHOW VIDEO MONITOR. You just have to activate this one.
