Hi everyone,
I'm using Vegas pro 13 along with Vegas pro 10 and have added a second monitor in extended mode. Vegas pro 13 will show video in trimmer window but no video in project preview window. When I open Vegas pro 10 , both trimmer window video and project preview video playback fine including when I toggle on and off preview video on external monitor button..so everything seems to be ok in Vegas pro 10 .... Did a quick check in preferences under Preview devices and Vegas pro 10 device choices show "Windows Secondary Display" as being selected...this is working fine..... under Vegas Pro 13 under preview devices there isn't a choice for "Windows Secondary Display" in the drop down menu...... it only list "Windows Graphic Card" along with a few other choices.....
Any Ideas how to have Vegas pro 13 to "see" the same choices as in Vegas pro 10? Maybe some setting I'm missing? Thanks for your help in advance....

I'm using windows 7 64bit and the video card is a GTX 570

You select "Windows Graphic Card" and then you can select the monitor under "Display Adapter" you should see a list with your monitors.

If not, then there is something wrong with your installation.

Thanks for the pic showing the settings...it looks like the video in the project preview window is there but is just all black.......I noticed that the mouse curser changes from it's usual arrow ..to a crosshair when I move the mouse over to the project preview window and if I left click I can draw out a selection box on the video...so maybe some setting or video effects are turned on? I get this even when I open a new project....Any other things to try that come to mind.....Thanks again for taking the time to help....

My guess is you have pressed the "Split Screen" which might be set to Clipboard and Select All.

Played with settings around split screen but didn't work..... worth checking though.....
sometimes it's just easier to do a reinstall of Vegas..which is what I did...problem solved........Thanks for your help :-)
