The preview of the clip and the audio track disappear

Hello. Often when I edit a video it happens that after a cut (arrow in the photo), the preview of the clip and the audio track disappear. To fix this I just have to pause and restart, but it always happens so it gets annoying after a while. Do you know how to solve? Thank you!

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 12.1

Final Cut Pro problems Normally, when I edit a video, I can hear the audio by pressing the arrow keys or by moving the playhead with the mouse. It helps knowing where certain sounds are in a video. Now it's silent, and it makes editing a lot harder when playing with audio. Did I disable something by accident, can I turn in on again?

video skimming not working in Browser of FCP Hello, everyone, My video skimming in FCP (version 10.5.4) is not working in the Browser (Media Library). It works in the Timeline but not in the Browser. It usually works right when I open FCP but when I click on anything in the Timeline it will only allow me to skim the Timeline. The skimming will no longer work in the Browser unless I restart FCP. The audio skimming always works but not the video. It's very frustrating and I have no idea how to fix it. Just to be clear, the video skimming button at the lower right of the screen is always turned on (highlighted blue) so that's not the issue. Clicking that off and back on doesn't do anything. Again, the audio skimming always works. This problem started a few iOS versions back. I thought it would get fixed with the next update but it never has. Because it has persisted for the past few versions (updates) I don't think uninstalling and reinstalling FCP would make a difference, but I'm not a computer wiz. I can try to provide a video to help explain the problem if it's needed. I'm using a 2020 Retina 5K 27" iMac running iOS 11.2.3. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If it redraws when the playback stops, then that is expected behavior.

Now, you CAN change this, and have it redraw while playing.

There is a great free utility, CommandPost, that is able to do that, and more. I recommend that you try it.

It is useful not just with FCP, but especially with it. It can easily change some preferences that are not directly available through FCP's GUI.

Are you cutting while the clip is playing or while skimming?
