Canvas is white when paused

Hi Friends,

Stumped on this one.

Cutting in FCP 7.0.3 on OSX10.8.5

My canvas goes to a white screen when paused. It started on just a could files but has "spread" to the entire project. Obviously when I hit play I can see the edit. Pause? White screen.

I have tried:
Rebooting
Reconnecting media
Refreshing A/V devices
Running Disk Utility
Zapping PRam
Closing the Canvas and resetting the layout
Jumping up and down and spinning on my head (which felt the best but …)

I have not tried trashing Prefs which I just thought of which I'll do now.

Any other suggestions??

Thanks,

Troy

You most likely have your canvas set to SHOW ALPHA. Don't want that. Change from the pull down menu

Well done MH -

Hadn't even touched that menu so not sure how it got there - but that worked! Thanks much!!

"not sure how it got there"

Shift + W toggles those canvas modes
easy to do that without meaning to.

yeah...sometimes we hit a quick key / key combo that triggers something weird. I still do that all the time
