Can't scrub, can't view preview, can't render. Project simply isn't working.
I don't exactly know what the problem is. It looks like its limited to the project I'm working in, but I want to understand this better as it could possibly result from the files I'm working with. Basically whenever I load this project I can't play back my preview. Here's a list of things that are happening to elaborate on the problem:
- When I press play almost usually nothing happens. The preview image remains stuck on what it was last on when I loaded the project. Occasionally I've gotten audio to playback either while scrubbing or after pressing play, but for the most part nothing usually happens.
- If I minimize the window and come back to it the preview image (which is stuck on what it was the last time I save the project) completely disappears and only the gray background remains.
- I've tried rendering my timeline. When I do so, the program will play through the video sequence but only the audio plays while it does this. At some random point it'll stop, and I'll have the problems I've shared above.
- I've tried to change the scratch disks to different disks, but these settings don't save on exit. Changes to things like audio devices do save though.
While this is going on, I can click through menus and even save. But if I try to close the program it hangs. Viewing the process in the task manager shows that it's "not responding" and I have to end the program from the task manager.
In terms of my setup I'm on Windows 10 and my hardware should be more than sufficient to avoid problems with memory and space:
CPU - Ryzen 5 5600x
GPU - RTX 3080
Ram - 32 GB
Storage - My project is on a 2TB HDD, but my video files are on a 2 TB SD. It's 1440p footage encoded at 60 FPS with NVEnc if that matters.
