Scene MP4 file appearing black when uploaded in studio mode! HELP!

I am helping my girlfriend get geared up for her Amazon Live set up and figuring out this OBS platform.

I have created a scene and linked into to her webcam and created an additional one linking to an MP4 that will be a starting soon video.

When I upload that MP4 it does not show up in studio mode in preview section or even when I transition it. The screen remains black. I have tried different MP4 files and they all still show that way.

Has anyone experienced this?

Terminology can cause confusion when asking for technical support
Instead of 'uploading' [which I'm guessing is wrong term here], do you mean that
- in OBS, you've added a Media Source to a Scene, pointing to that local MP4 video file?
Was it Media Source, or VLC, or ??
- and then in OBS, you've checked the settings for that Media source, including making sure the icon is toggled to that of "Display this source" and that you understand source priority that items listed higher in the source list will be on TOP of sources listed below ... so make sure MP4 Media Source isn't hidden by other item?

If you are just figuring out OBS, for something like this, I'd suggest the old K.I.S.S... and in this case, don't use Studio Mode while figuring this out (ie one less variable to concern yourself with while getting other details sorted)
