    I’ve got a bin full of clips that I’ve transcoded.
    They all used to play fine in the source monitor.
    Now one of the clips seems to load in fine, but then it’s just black on the screen.
    The playhead moves along as if it’s footage, but nothing shows up on the screen.
    The other clips are still okay.

    Any idea what I might be doing?

    Have you deselected the monitor button for the clip by accident?

    HI…thanks for your reply.

    The clip is only in the bin, not on the timeline.

    The button I highlighted is the source monitor button, if you load the clip in the source monitor is it on or off? The button that toggles the record monitor (whats on the timeline) is to the right of that one (v5 on the image I posted)

    Best
