Hello all.

I have used Moviemaker a few times before and have never experienced this.
I have captured some clips from my camcorder and put them in my collection.
When I play each individual file from collections it will appear in the
monitor, when I drag them into the timeline and play from there the screen is
blank. I can hear sound but no visuals.

Can someone help me please as it is driving me mad.

Regards
 
Hi Graham and thanks for the response. After a day or so of getting annoyed
and removing and testing stuff using sherlock etc I found out that I had a
codecs pack that I downloaded a while ago.

It must have been a codec conflict as when I uninstalled the pack the
picture came back.

A message to anyone that has a black screen when previewing. Remove those
bloody codec packs you downloaded and only download ones that you really need
individually.
 
Glad you've sorted it and I wish people would take heed of this message as
it's one of the most common cause of problems in all video editing apps.
