Here's my problem- I can play clips from the Collections
list in the Preview Window, but when I put a clip in the
Timeline and try to play it nothing shows up...it stays
completely black. It plays audio in the Preview Window,
though, just no picture.

I've tried installing numerous codecs, but nothing seems
to work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I am having the same problem. I have the codects, it
works on collections, but when i drag it down to the
timeline, theres no picture but audio.

Why is this happening?
 
What typeof file is it ? Is this a WMV file ? Divx ? Do you know the type of
codec being used ?

My vidie clips are all WMV files, but I don't know what
type of codec is being used.

If you play the WMV file in Windows Media Player and check the file's
properties, it'll tell you the codecs used.
 
Thanks PapaJohn.

I checked the file's properties and this is what it says
about the codecs:

Video codec: Windows Media Video 9

If it's a codec issue, you can download and install all the version 9 codecs
as a package, or install the Windows Media Encoder. There are links to both
on the Setup... Software page of my website.
 
I installed the Verison 9 codecs and still nothing. Any
other ideas as to what the problem could be?

If all else fails, I'll just have to call Microsoft.
