  • New Error Message: “An error occurred while starting playback…

    Sorry that this is a double post but I’m in a real jam here with a client who’s less than impressed. Can anyone tell me what this message means: “An error occurred while starting playback – An invalid device was specified”. It came after I tried (unsuccessfully) to capture footage from my Canon HV30 in 24f (all I ended up doing was capturing a series of stills… But that’s an entirely different problem). In total frustration I gave up and went back to the already captured SD footage but when I went to play clips in the trimmer or on the time line I got the above message.
    Thanks in advance,
    Sprague

    Go into your device preview settings and make sure that whatever device you preview your work on is set up correctly in that window.
