P: There is no image in the preview section of the project

Hello, today, while I was working on a project in Premiere Pro, the preview image suddenly disappeared. In Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, the video preview does not open in the part where the preview screen is located. When I press the space bar, the sound of the video starting is heard, but there is no image. I searched in many places, but I could not find a solution. I deleted it and reinstalled it, it didn't work, I cleared the media cache and it didn't work, I downgraded or upgraded the version and it didn't work either. I tried and many other things but I couldn't find a solution. I am sending the screen recording as an attachment. I would be very happy if you could help me. 

(my system properties
i7 13700h
gtx 4060
32 ddr5 ram
1tb ssd
The video I was working on was a very simple edit, so I don't think it was caused by a system freeze.)

Bug Report

 

Issue: My Source Monitor and Program Monitor are non-responsive and laggy. They do not show any video, but they do appear to be playing and outputting audio. Only when i full screen the window it plays perfectly. Drivers are all fully updated. Rolling the drivers back to Microsoft Basic Display Adapter does work for displaying video again. But makes the whole laptop run like mud. I made a screen-capture displaying my issues but it says i'm not authorized to upload video in this blog post. 

 

Adobe Version: 24.6.3 (Build 4)

Operating System: Windows 11 Home

 

System Info

CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 - 13700H

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

GPU Driver Version: 32.0.15.5594

RAM: 16GB

Drive: External LaCie Rugged 5TB, USB3

Video Format: 1920x1080p, 50FPS, MP4

Workflow Details: Nothing specific to mention. 

Steps to reproduce: Connect external hard drive, open Premiere, everything works fine except for the Source and Program Monitors

Expected result: Should be able to see my footage to edit it. 

Actual result: Can't see my footage unless full screen.

I'm having same problem on HP Victus. Reverting to Microsoft Basic Display Adapter does make the video visible in the program monitor again but this seems like a bandaid more than a fix.

While editing a video, I can't see my videos in the preview sections even if the video is continuing. I tried everything. Rendering, RAM control, restarting and resetting the computer and the application. Reinstalling the application. I couldn't solve it in any way. I also deleted it from the Media Cache section. How can I see my videos in the preview section and have less lag while editing? I can't continue editing in any way right now. Thank you in advance for your help.

No puedo visualizar la imagen o el video en el panel de programa mientras está siendo editado. Me aparece la pantalla en negro.

I have the same problem with HP laptop. I found a short-term solution. If I switch off one of the two graphics types, it works. I now suspect that it is due to the Windows 11 23H2 update.

Literally just works today wouldn't pull up any video yesterday and today just booted it up nothing changed and it is working so frustrating that it is not consistent

By this substitution of Intel own driver for the microsoft generic one you don't fix an issue but rather turn off the iGPU capabilities turning it to a pumpkin... This is no solution. I have my intel drivers updated the moment an update is out due to Intel's Driver assistant, but this issue persists and it's only in Premiere Pro 25.

Why was my problem merged with this thread? It has nothing to do with the previews https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-bugs/p-there-is-no-image-in-the-preview-section-of-the-project/idc-p/14919031#M37710

I’m experiencing an issue where the preview screen is either black or blank, and the same happens with all the other video clips. Interestingly, when I use the shortcut "Ctrl + `" to go fullscreen, the video displays correctly, but it doesn't show up while I'm trying to edit, which is very frustrating. I've searched online for solutions to this black or blank screen problem, but nothing has worked. Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going on?

Just want to double check – could you have shifted the picture out of the window? Will resetting the view like this picture work?

Another strange behavior I came across with in the new Premiere Pro 25.

The starting point: 

+ there are no third-party plugins installed

+ a new project is created with no sequence and no materials imported - it's empty.

After I hit the project name, if the workspace was set to learning, assembly or review, Premiere Pro starts immediately. But if any other workspace was selected, from the moment I hit the project link on the home screen, till the moment I actually see Premiere Pro tabs and windows some 5-8 seconds may pass, untill then there's just a black window.

I didn't have such behavior in version 24.6.1 or proir.

I tried turning off GPU accelerated UI - it didn't help. Meanwhile my Win11 task manager - the Performance tab shows no reaction from CPU\dGPU\iGPU while the interface is being loaded or used.

See the videos.
