    Hi folks out there,

    out of nowhere ma canvas shows a black screen. I get sound and only a still on the monitors. I finished a project and deleted the clips I didn’t need.
    I’ve tried nearly everything.

    anybody any idea?

    Osx 10.4.10, FCP 5.0, Xraid, G5 double 2.0 usw.

    Is it set to WireFrame?

    Hi Walter,

    thanks, and a big hug!
    Sometimes even experienced people are stupid.
    What a simple solution.
    It never happened before.

    a nice weekend for you.
    perhaps I should change to the beginners forum

    [Rainer Wirth] “Sometimes even experienced people are stupid.”

    It’s happened to me too. There’s a keyboard shortcut to get to wireframe and sometimes you just accidentally hit the right combination of keys without realizing it.

    have a great weekend.

    it’s ‘w’, cycles through 3 view modes. Very easy to accidently hit,, and this problem comes up quite often here on the forum (the last incident only a few days ago)! Threw me for a loop the first time it happened to me aswell,, couldn’t figure out what the heck happened.
