    Are you saying that you can no longer see video in fcp? Or on whatever you were viewing your training DVD.

    If it is FCP – Go up to the VIEW Menu and make sure you didn’t accidentally hit the shortcut to ‘WIREFRAME’ Should be set to either IMAGE or IMAGE + WIREFRAME depending on your preferences.

    I accidently discovered that but now I KNOW the way out of blackness.
    Thanks!
    however, now I have a green circle with a check in it.
    meanwhile my DVD training continues… I’m a producer so I’m a little slow.

    Hey Scott,

    The green check is letting you know that your luma levels are safe for broadcast. Turn it off by going to:

    View Menu —-> Range Check —-> Off

    You’ve hit “UNDO” as if you were on Windows.

    CNTRL Z adds/removes the luma range check

    Best,
