  • Issue - So I was editing a video and since I happened to have purchased a second monitor i decided to use it as another "Program: Monitor" to see the changes made to the video. I had went to
    "Edit -> Preferences -> Playback"

    And chekced off the second monitor.

    Everything was fine until a few minutes later anytime I moved any clip within the timeline, the program monitor would go black. Playback was fine in regards to playing the video regularly. But whenever I decided to trim or move a clip it would go black and not show me a preview.

    (During this time I had also checked up the Reference Monitor as well)

    I had went back into the playback settings and unchecked the monitor but to no avail it didn't change anything.

    I closed premiere and opened it.
    Updated my Drivers.
    Restarted my PC.
    Emptied Memory Cache.
    Tested with different projects.
    Changed the video and playback rednering settings from hadware to software.
    Disabled & Re-enabled Hardware Acceleration
    Reset Premiere Pro.
    Uninstalled & Reinstalled Premiere Pro

    Thanks for the screencap. Very helpful.

    What you are seeing in normal behavior.

    On the left there is no clip > black

    On the right, you're probably overwriting a clip > image (my screenshot shows no clip)

    Now there is a clip in front and at the back > 2 images showing.

    Thank you so much! I must have been tripping out thinking it wasn't working like regular, thank you for the explanation.
