I have MEP2015+ and random video clips will suddenly go "black" and show no video in the preview (i can hear audio). The clips are fine and sometimes after reloading MEP I can work with those objects ... but then the "black" problem moves to another video object.
This was not a problem in previous versions. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Andy,
See my answer to the question about multi-cam.
Be careful that the track image on tracks below 2 does not get turned off by using multi-cam. Check at the left of the track.
Thanks - but this is not the case. This also happens on track 1. In addition, adjacent clips on the same track are not affected.
Thanks John, but it is not multicam.
I can have 4 clips in a row on the same track, and one or two will go "black". I can then reload MEP and it will be a different clip (or two) that goes black. There is no ryhme or reason to which one.
As a matter of fact, I just did a preview of two clips in a row (cross fade transition) and it worked fine. I then played the preview again right away and suddenly the second click went black.
It's almost impossible to use the program now because I can't see the clips to trim them.
SOLVED
It took a long time to fix this. I went back to MEP2015 for a while and then the problem would occur again (and not just with Titles. Magix support tried but could not figure it out either.
Eventually figured out it was a Quicktime process that was not playing nicely with MEP. I noticed it was getting hung and burning resouces.
A clean re-install of QUICKTIME and all has been running well for a few months now.
Just posting in case anyone else gets the same issue.
