  • Can’t See Video/Video Preview [NEW to Sonvy Vegas]

    Posted by Jessie Gar on June 23, 2009 at 6:14 am

    I just aquired Sony Vegas 9 on my computer, and am new to Sony Vegas. My computer is a p4 Dell (dimension E521, 64 processorr).

    I am able to load a windows media file and drag the audio and video tracks. But when I hit play I only hear the sound. I see nothing on the video preview.

    I made sure the “mute video tracks” option has been diselected, and I also have the latest Quicktime pro installed on my computer.

    Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

    This is a “feature” that was introduced in Vegas Pro 8.0c and here’s what the Release Notes had to say:

    When the Show Video Monitor button in the Trimmer window is selected, video that you preview from the Vegas Explorer and Media Manager windows is played back in the Trimmer.
    Because the Trimmer is placed in the same window dock as the Explorer and Media Manager, you will not see your video preview.
    To preview Explorer and Media Manager video, you can drag the Trimmer to a new dock group, or you can turn off the Show Video Monitor button to preview in the Video Preview window.

    You might not want to limiting your testing to just one format. Try something different besides .wmv
