Gallery Refs show black?!

All of the sudden I can't load any gallery refs. Meaning they exist in the gallery and I can export them out of Resolve, but when I try to view them they show up as a black screen. Furthermore, if I activate the wipe and then cycle through the "ref modes" the image doesn't update when I get to "gallery," it remains the same as the previous mode (timeline mode).

I tried creating a new project and everything worked fine, leading me to believe I may have an incorrect setting or I have some sort of weird project corruption. Thing is that I can't bare recreating the project at this point. Any ideas?

Thank you,
