USER of FCP 7 have had this prob before, where the video on the monitor would be stuck, but audio ok and video would jump to the correct frame when stopped. After much goofing about, twice now I’ve had to refind the solution that works for me (the first time was so long ago I forgot what I did to fix it!). Simply this under view, while selecting image plus wire frame, I had selected wire frame only. With my setup this leads to video not playing on external monitor, but sound and scrubbing to be ok, and video jumps to correct frame when you stop.

Not sure this is the only reason this happens, but it’s been the ‘thing’ twice now, and each time took several hours and reading posts like this to get back to my normal. I never found this solution via searching trouble posts.
