Preview screen in studio mode not working. HELP!!! (windows)

[CBCC]

Good day everyone, I have started having an issue with the preview screen on obs using studio mode. It stays as a black screen instead of displaying an image. I have checked to make sure that <Show in multiview> was enabled. I like that feature but it's becoming an issue without it. Does anyone know how to fix or what the issues maybe?

So I have the same issue, but when I move the transition slider it works. But every time I press transition the preview goes black. Why is the preview black it makes no sense.

Preview mode does not show everything, like MP3 file and some video files etc..
If you want those to display in preview mode UNCHECK the close file when inactive option in the source properties...

"UNCHECK the close file when inactive" I have try but this is not working.

You have to UNCHECK 'Restart playback when source becomes active' in each source's properties

I figured out the issue that caused my preview to be blank. Right click the black area and select resize output. It will say something like the base and output resolutions will be resized etc. Select yes. This will put the preview pane back in place over the black display area. Hopefully this helps someone down the road with this problem.

I have a problem relating to back screen. I have determined that the capture video device is trying to show my laptop screen, secondary tv screen and what is displayed on a third monitor in the window rather than just what is being captured on my camera (using Black Magic design. I can view the red lines but cannot pull the picture back into the viewer. If I click on the video capture device, it highlights red lines shooting in 3 different directions. When I click left or right on my mouse to move the image back, the red lines go away and video capture deselects. Can you advise?

Try to reset the transform on that item (right clik on source name, transform reset...)
That should bring back at least usuable handles around the source in the preview if selected.
