Video Monitor View Problems
Hello,
Appreciate this is somewhat trivual, but its infuriating me!
I’ve just transferred some footage to DV tape using the ‘Mark: Play: In/Out’ feature in FCP, after I had changed my settings on the A/V Devices tab.
I should have made a note of the settings prior to changing becuase now I can’t view any of my work on my video monitor!
Running FCP 5 with Blackmagic Decklink. The audio plays back fine through the speakers on the mixer, however there is no footage on the video monitor.
Would appreciate some guidance.
Thanks very much.

The first thing to always try is to Quit FCP, Restart the Mac, Open your FCP project and try again.
Next:
THE FOLLOWING COMES FROM THE KEN STONE WEBSITE:
“Over 5,000 years ago Confucius wrote: ‘If you are toiling away, you have changed nothing and FCP heads South on you, [starts behaving in strange ways] then it is time to trash your FCP Preferences.’ ”Click the following link for instructions.
https://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/trashing_fcp_prefs.html
A great way to do this is to use “FCP Rescue” a free Apple Script that will Trash the Preferences for you (and restore nearly all of your user settings afterward).
There are versions for FCPro & FCExpress.Download these free Apple Scripts at

This is one FCP tip that has helped in hundreds of “odd” problems.
