When working with video, with the preview window set to "fit" I get black/blank video freqwuently though the audio usually cotinues. If I change "fit" to any of the other settings the video is consistent.

In all other regards, efverything runs as expected. I've been using Preimiere Pro for years with jno issues, this has come on in the last 6 months or so.

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver)

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.
