Spacebar to stop/start preview play doesn't work

Hello,

Can someone please tell me why my spacebar won't start or stop "play" when I am reviewing footage in the event window?

I haven't done anything with the footage as far as bringing it into a project or anything. My goal is to preview the footage and then drag into the project what I need.

The Space Bar is not working when I hit it. It's supposed to play footage, and then stop when I hit it again.

Why is it working for some chunks of footage, and not at all for other chunks of footage? This is incredibly frustrating. Also, if I select footage the spacebar won't play, and surround that footage with the yellow box, I can successfully play the section I have chosen with the yellow box by selecting "play selected". The footage is "good", I just can't control the play with the spacebar and I really need to.

Thank you so much

YahYah
