On playback, part of my video, though you can see the clips on the timeline, show as blank screens.

It doesn't do it all the time, just sometimes, within the same session. When this happens, a yellow line appears above the timeline, above the clips that show as blank on the preview.

Not sure if it matters, but I can't get it to render preview either. It gets stuck on 0, 4 or 76%, always in random order.

This is the free version to try it out. I have uninstalled and re-downloaded once already.

TIA!

Don't use Render Preview. iI's very buggy and will likely lead to problems with future editing. Set the timeline preview quality to Full HD to get smooth playback, and delete the temporary files as shown in this post.
