Foremost many, many, many thanks for this. Been trying for a while to fix the video playback for cubase 13 elements and wavelab 12 elements. All the solutions with the video settings didn’t work for me, but exchanging the videoengin dll with the one from cubase 12 fix video playback for both my cubase 13 elements and wavelab 12 elements.
My windows 10 PC has an old Intel(R) Core™ i5-4460S CPU @ 2.90GHz 2.90 GHz, 8 GB of Ram running win10 Home, version 22H2, build 19045.4170, no videocard.
I personally don’t need full screen playback so after the full screen test failed twice, I don’t bother for this.
Good to know its helped, but see my caution and disclaimers.
I tried to log a formal support ticket, but it knows I’m not in the US so just tells me to contact a reseller in my country. So if you (or anyone watching this thread) is in the US, please log a formal ticket and get this thread noticed by the Support Team/devs please.
From* reading other related threads, it seems to be about* using the internal Intel HD GPU, vs not having a “real” graphics card. So somewhat kills off using the product on a lot of laptops.
In my case, my PC is “a little old” and both Intel and Windows updater tools tell me my PC is already using the latest graphics drivers and there is no newer one.
I’m in it as a hobby, so I don’t mind a little ‘risk’. Just using it to clean up audio our homevideos (smartphone, digital cameras) and old recordings on casette, vinyl and MD.
But I figured the older PC with end of line drivers and such might be at the source of my woes…
If things get to wonky, I’ll post it here. But for the moment all is well.
(FOR YOUR INFO …CUBASE 13 PRO ALSO) Trying to create music for a video just sent to me and loaded it up, only to get a black screen. It shows perfectly on the timeline with all thumbnails. Audio has been extraced perfectly but no video screen only black! Tried compressing from MOV to MPG4, AVI, MKV but all the same.
I can confirm this is a Cubase 13 issue. I have just loaded the same video into CUBASE PRO 12 and it all loads and plays back PERFECTLY. So this is a 13 bug…PLEASE FIX A.S.A.P STEINBERG!!!
I don’t want to have to work in an older version to get my work done.
I am running Windows 10 on PC.
just tried it on mine , replaced CB13 videoengine file with CB12 file and it works!!!
Therefore the problem is indeed with this video engine file in CB13
Happy I got video now, thanks for your suggestion. I havent used it extensively yet but it works! and it shows that the problem is not with my PC.
I have a similar issue in Cubase 13 on a Mac M2 System wtih OS Ventura 13.7.
I am working on a TV Series - everything worked perfectly fine with the Video Playback Engine - but yesterday for some reason it stopped working and all I see is a black Video Window. I tried deleting all the Video Files from the Media Pool and then reimporting it into the project - More than 5 hours of Video and many Tracks (Audio and Instruments) - so a big project, but the CPU and all Meters were ok.
I can’t seem to find a workaround and Cubase won’t launch with disabled program preferences.
Anyone a suggestion?
Thank You!
