Question

Preview screens turn black or white while editing. Audio works fine

It seems a lot of people have been getting this issue. While editing, the video preview suddenly freezes and turns either white or black. This affects all projects. So if I try to open another project I worked on yesterday, the problem persists.

Things I tried so far and didn't work:

1. File -> Project settings -> General -> change Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) to Mercury Playback Engine Software only -> Keep Previews

2. Update nVidia drivers.

3. Reinstall Premiere.

Please help!

Can your machine handle the footage?

Computer specs?

Type of  footage?

Premiere exact version?

Be specific.
