No video playback in Premiere Pro 14.8

[vanze]

Video playback doesn't work. Totally unprofessional. Switching to Da vinci resolve

Apologies, Vanze. Can you give us a little more to go on? Like, your computer specs and source media? I can't reproduce the issue, but will try to find out more with a bit more info.

Thank You,

Kevin

Do not count on Windows to be fully up to date when it comes to device drivers
Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter
•nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
••for Premiere Pro use the STUDIO driver, not the GAMING driver
•••such as https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/results/170344/
•ATI Driver https://www.amd.com/en/support
There are also intermittent reports that the newest driver is not always the best driver due to driver bugs or compatibility issues, so you MAY need to try an earlier driver version
