AVID Filler is garbage and not black

When I need filler, it's not black. Often it's green...but now it's just a garbage looking white with sync lines. And when a lift a clip from the timeline, it's also garbage, but different. Why isn't it black?

Filler as well as the media offline slates are stored in a separate internal media database for all the supported resolutions.
Sounds like a corrupt database file or black media file.
I'd try an uninstall. Clean out and re install.

We're still running 8.5 I believe. Long overdue for an update.
However, the filler has been an issue a long time.
I think Pat might have the answer...a corrupt media file somewhere. I need to update, so I'll try that. Appreciate your feedback.
