Green stripe across top of preview window

Videosync

HI,

Im getting a weird issue where there is a green stripe across the preview window whenever I play a movie file in the arrangement page. Is this an issue with the codec?

Thanks

Charlie

Hey Charlie. As far as we are aware, this only happens on Windows. What codec are you using for this particular video, and what is the resolution of the video? Would you be able to share the video with us?

Hey Charlie, thanks for that! What I meant to ask actually is if you could send that original video, the one that shows the green bar at the top of the Videosync window. :slight_smile:

Inrterestingly, I just bounced a video animation out of from davinci resolve fusion and then imported into ableton for videosync and there is no green stripe across the top of the screen
