I have made a project on a win 10 pc and stored on a moveable HDD, when moving the HDD to a win 11pc and opening the project only sound will be played and the videoscreen is black. I can open the same videofile in VLC player and everyting seems to be OK.
What can be the reason that movistudio do not show video picture?
Hi
Black video on import is most commonly caused by issues with the graphics card (GPU) drivers or display options settings in the program for hardware acceleration of decoding, processing and export, where possible, by the GPU .
Open the program settings shortcut Y key, select the Device options tab and change the 3 video mode options to CPU, confirming the changes.
If this fixes the display then the issue is with the GPU drivers which should be up-to date for Intel or AMD GPU's,
For Nvidia RTX GPU family check the driver version installed, if it is the latest 591.44 or 591.59 drivers, these should be rolled back to the last driver version of the 581.xx series for your specific GPU. The 591.xx drivers 'broke something' causing issues for several other video editors. This is being looked into by Magix.
If the above does not resolve the issue then we need more information to help diagnose the issue(s) you are having:
The specification of your computer system including Windows version and program version, see this topic for what is required and please quote processor and graphics card make/model in full, and also what monitor/screen resolution(s) you are working with if this is a laptop.
I would suggest you put this information in your profile signature so we do not have to keep asking for it.
Download and install MediaInfo and analyse one of the clips that is showing black and post the results, see this tutorial on how to setup MediaInfo and analyse a video clip for all the data required.
