Edius 3 player not showing video

[Video1]

Hi:

I just reinstalled Edius 3.0 back on my harddrive and now when I play my video in the timeline you can hear the sound fine and I have the video channel on but there is no picture showing in the player. Do you have any ideas what could be wrong or off on my settings? I can hear the sound and it plays fine in the timeline but only show black in the player. As soon as I click on the desktop it pauses and show the picture in the palyer but as soon as I click on the timeline again to play it the playes goes black again. Thank you in advance!

try different overlay settings in Edius and restart Edius after each change, then test again until you have overlay

I dont have video overlay option in my settings. Do you think that is my problem and if so do you know how I can get it. I already uninstalled and reinstalled Edius but have no luck? I also do not show this in my settings (RX-E1 settings Set the settings for RX-E1 hardware). When I installed edius 3.4 it did come up with a option to install drivers for DVSTORM, DVX-E1, RAPTOR RT2 and DVREX-RT professional but I skipped this. Thanks

overlay settings appear when hardware is correctly installed

what is RX-E1 (which capture hardware)

In settings under hardware I only show Generic HDV setting and Generic OHCI setting and dont have an overlay option. Is Edius 3.4 suppose to have video overlay option in setting?

did you buy any capture hardware with Edius or the software only?

if software only, you will not have overlay settings, if you don't see overlay, your graphics card or driver is too old

In Edius5 you have overlay settings even without capture hardware

Hi:

I dont have any special hardware installed and have a nvdia Gforce 6800 video card. Edius was working fine before I had to re-install XP professional operating system. Tx

have you updated the graphics card driver

what about XP service pack? I am not sure if Edius3 would work with SP3 because Edius 3 was made long before SP3 came out

I have Edius 3.3 yet I dont see RX-E1 setting? Also when I was installing Edius it came up with a screen to install drivers (was already unchecked) one was for storm and it listed a bunch of other drivers but since I dont have storm I left it unchecked?

Solved: I had a second monitor attached to my graphics card but was not useing it. As soon as I discounted it I had my video in the Edius player. Thanks for all your help.
