Ensure you have your Level in the Track Header at 100% and that your Event on the Timeline is at 100% too.
Can you see the Frames on the Timeline?

What format is the video file (i.e. DV-AVI, MPEG, DivX, Xvid, etc.)?
-
There is no frames on the screen just the audio it’s a mp4 file

Make sure that your Split Screen View dropdown option is set to FX Bypassed
-
If this doesn’t solve your problem, use GSpot or MediaInfo and let us know what it says about the file.

well the split screen view is on FX Bypassed but i got Gspot like you’ve said, it says this

The bad news is that Pro 8 can’t open that file 🙁
It’s an MP4 file and needs a newer version of QuickTime than Pro 8 supports.
Some users on here have, as I recall, used VLC Media Player to convert it to another format that Pro 8 can read.
You’d have to do a search though as I can’t remember who it was or when they posted.
