    Hi, I didn’t get a response on this earlier, but maybe I wasn’t clear. I am getting black in my preview window when I want to preview the clip before it’s put onto the timeline..when I try to preview it from project media. I can hear the audio, but no video. Once it’s on the timeline it is ok.

    Original post:
    I am hoping this is easy. I just installed Vegas 8 into Windows 7 and my preview window is black, but I can hear audio.

    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    From the Pro 8 Readme file:

    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.
