Windows 10: Video Editor Windows 10 black screen

This didn't used to happen, but now when I put a video into the storyboard for the video editor the screen is just black. The video plays fine just in Photos, but the minute I put it in storyboard to edit a project, black screen. Very frustrating. If someone could assist, it would be greatly appreciated; thanks!
