Adobe Premiere Pro CC Sudden Black Video

[#1]

I was working on a video in Adobe premiere. I finished editing all the video and added the transitions. Then I added the voice over. It was working perfectly but then I added the background music and it caused all of my video to go black. If I add new video to the sequence it will play but none of my video will work. Please help, I do not want to have to redo all of my work. All of the audio is completely fine.

Can you post a screenshot of your sequence timeline?

Post a larger image.  Zoom in a bit so we can see the names of the video and audio clips.

Same problem here. Video will just cut out completely.

Can you switch to software acceleration under Project Settings and report back if it works? I believe this is an ongoing graphics card problem.

I can not find that option in Project Settings. Also, I tried the render and replace on one of the clips and it worked but it took a really long time. I think I may try it for the whole project, because even my titles are not showing.

Under File --> Project Settings --> General. There is a pull-down menu labeled "Video Rendering and Playback"

Change it to Software Engine Only and let us know.

Thank you! I was having the same issue and that fixed it.

Hi JenBlueStarGinger,

Did you figure it out or do you still need help with this?

Best,

Same issue here: black preview window. Need to work, will edit now in DaVinci which works flawless and cancel my adobe subscription now forever!!!

AND NO I WON´T TURN OFF CUDA!!! BECAUSE I BOUGHT MY 10K EDITING PC TO HAVE THE PERFECT EDITING EXPERIENCE FOR ME AND SAVE TIME FOR MY CLIENTS!!! AND NOT TO DISCOVER THAT I COULD´VE STICKED TO MY 2010 LAPTOP BECAUSE THE SOFTWARE IS CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem. Everything was working then Premiere said I needed to update my video driver. I did so and now premiere is showing a black window when I try to play video... sad.

We're having the same issue. No idea what causes it. Editing for days just fine on the same project then suddenly everything will go black for a time.

I can get where eigenartfilmproduktion is coming from in not wanting disable CUDA. So far switching to software preview and software render has been the only solution for us. Very frustrating that Premiere can't leverage the full potential of our brand new editing setup.

Same problem here, it's so fraustrating!!

I can't finish my project!

Please any solution?

I came across this thread running into the black screen issue on multiple times despite up to date drivers and running a powerful machine. I completely agree with you! I'm done with Premiere also and not continuing my Adobe subscription because of constant unreliability of the programme and crashes. It's not a fun experience working with Premiere and it feels completely unprofessional using it now!

I was able to fix my black window by selecting all my video clips and right clicking on one, and unchecking 'Adjustment Layer'.  I suppose I accidentally turned that on?  I don't know, it works for me now.
