    A little questions for other users, or BMD.

    Midway through the grade of a lovely short film shot on anamorphic lenses and the RED MX, I have suddenly lost my reference stills.

    Whenever I play a still, the only thing that loads is a black screen.

    The capture is fine, the stills come up with the correct thumbnail and the node tree is ok too, but I simply can’t compare shots anymore.

    I’m sure there’s a simple solution to that, but I can’t quite figure it out. All my other projects are fine.

    Any sugggestion out there?

    Many thanks,

    Will

    I had the same problem several time and i am not able to recreate it, but it happens.
    Make a new timeline in your project, that one will work.
