A yes. THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM!!!
But here is how you fix it.

First of all, when you're in the "Edit" screen, hit the F9 key on your keyboard to restore the default screen layout. Possibly it was messed up or the preview monitor was accidentally deactivated. F9 will restore everything. Now you should definitely see the preview monitor with the transport controls on it.

If the screen of the preview monitor still appears to stay black when running your imported movie or the demo project, experiment with the video modes of the program. Possibly the default one is not working well with your graphics card. In order to do this, please open the program, go into the program settings (e.g. by pressing "Y" on the keyboard), switch to the "Display options" tab and find the "playback in arranger/video mode" section. Experiment with the different video modes available in the drop-down list and check whether your preview monitor displays the project correctly now. There are several alternatives to the default mode.

I hope this helps.
