  • Black preview, and render

    Posted by Slade Mitchell on January 20, 2012 at 8:05 pm

    Hello all-

    Sorry if I do this wrong, first post 🙂

    First of all, I am using Sony Vegas 11, and have never had any of these problems in the past. Here is my problem:

    AT RANDOM video clips in my timeline won’t show in the preview, its just a black screen. I thought it was just a problem with my preview box, and rendered out the clip to see what would happen. It rendered out black. So at totally random, some of the videos will go black, then come back after a while and set another couple clips black. Here are my render settings:

    .wmv 8mbps 1080 x 30p (WMV, last preset)

    The audio does work.

    My project is:
    HD 1080-60i (1920×1080, 29.970 fps)

    I have used these for tons of videos, this just started happening

    Please help ASAP, this video is being expected by a client today, and I had no idea this was going to come up, I cant really afford to tell them to wait! Please help! D:

    Rename the folder the files are in and move it to a different
    location, and then restart your pc….See if that helps.
    Defragment your drives also when you have the time.

    Nope, still chose a random part to go black and stay that way. 🙁
