OpenShot Video Editor

my video appears as blank screen

Asked by Peter Iltis

When I load my video and attempt to play it, I hear the sound but only see a black screen in the preview screen. The format is .avi, and should be compatible. What is the problem please?

Like you have send me too a PM, I'll make a short answer (near !)

When you have this issue, the first think is to take a look at our FAQ'S here : https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faqs

Globally, the first think is to follow this FAQ : https://answers.launchpad.net/openshot/+faq/983
Like this we could see if FFmpeg and MLT (our actual video framework) can play correctly your videos The issue could come of your video files (format or codecs) and Mediainfo is the best perfom tool for this task Give us the file text format

You could follow too this FAQ's for having more explanations about your configuration

I must precise that I don't want that you'll open a bug, I don't think that's necessary, at least until now but I would like the bug report model with all detais about your configuration

Thanks
