I just purchased a new Lenovo Legion Y740 for both gaming but also some video editing as I am mostly on the go. I loaded up my first video edit today and the clip in the timeline does not play in the preview box. I can hear the audio just fine but the video doesnt render, there is a yellow line above the clip in the timeline. I have updated to the latest version of PP and I updated my vidia drivers to the ones released yesterday.
My system specs are:
● Processor: 9th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-9750H (2.60GHz, up to 4.50GHz with Turbo Boost, 6 Cores, 12MB Cache) |
● Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64 |
● Display Type: 15.6" FHD (1920 x 1080) IPS, anti-glare, NVIDIA® G-SYNC, Dolby® Vision HDR™ 400, 144 Hz, 500 nits |
● Memory: 16GB 2666MHz DDR4 (2 x 8GB) |
● Hard Drive: 1TB SSD PCIe
|
Does anyone have any idea what to do here? I'd be gutted if I couldn't use this laptop for editing in Premiere...

What's the video clip? What format/codec, what made it?

Hey Neil.
It's an MP4 file. Created by an El Gato HD60 S Capture Card. I haven't tried any other video format files yet.

I also tried disabling my GPU and that also didn't change anything. Basically what happens is I drag the clip to the timeline and I play it the sound plays, albeit the volume reader looks pretty laggy and the first frame of the clip is there but it doesn't play.

Download MediaInfo and after installing, drag/drop a file onto that applet's icon. It will open, select the "tree view" from the viewing options, and do a screengrab like this one. Drag/drop the screengrab into your reply box, so we can see exactly what's inside that file.

Days and days and days. I've tried a lot of things to this point, most notably the uninstall and delete the media cache.
Here is the mediainfo document you requested:

Variable frame-rate "around-ish" 60fps. Ouch!
Download the free conversion utility app HandBrake and convert to CFR ... constant frame-rate ... in Handbrake. Make sure you both check the CFR circle AND set a specific frame-rate number in that box also. Set the compression to 'near placebo'.
Then import that file and see if it works properly.

Same thing 😕
I changed framrate to 60, constant framerate and moved the slider to placebo quality. What other suggestions might you have, Neil?! This is super frustrating!
Could it be something with the card?

What's the GPU in use in that rig? Separate "discrete" GPU or is it an onboard chip.

Nvidia drivers have been wonky as heck across video apps ... roll back to probably the 442.19 driver, see what happens.

I've been messing with drivers and I still have had no luck. Anything else I can try?

Did you use the "clean install" option and the Studio drivrs?

Yes I did. Is there anything else I can do to help you identify the problem? I have no problem running any games, or watching any media but I cannot do anything in Adobe Premiere at the moment. Should I contact Lenovo? Could I have a defective rig?

I would see if Lenovo help or their forums could help at this point.
