Auto Preview of videos not working in Movie Studio 17 was created by Brian

Left clicking the mouse on a video file in the project media window in MS15 plays the entire file in the preview window.  To carry out the same in MS17 requires holding down the left mouse key all the time. Releasing stops the playback.  Can this be overcome?  I have tried all sorts to no avail.

Regards,  Brian

It still plays the same way for me in VMS17 as it's done in earlier versions.

Try a "Factory reset" of your VMS17.

Make sure to reset the program correctly.
If you don't know how to do a reset, read this:

After reset, make sure Auto Preview is turned on in Project Media menu bar at top.

Thanks for replies.  Did  a factory reset and I have found that if the media in project window is showing as thumbnails the auto preview works.  If shown as a list then it doesn't.  Weird.
