Black preview screen when moving clip within the timeline

[Paolo Mendez]

• 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.

I also encounter the same issue with Paolo, once I drag a video, adjustment layer, or anything, the preview monitor just turns black. I cannot see realtime on the preview monitor when i drag something on top, or even just the video itself.
