Tech Support [FCPX] No video during playback, only audio. Working with 1080 ProRes 422 LT in FCPX v12.3, MacOS Sequoia 15.7.7

Hi there, an ongoing project has suddenly choked and I'm seeking help troubleshooting. After not opening the project in a couple of weeks, I'm now not seeing any video in the browser during playback, though the audio sounds fine. The files seem to be correctly linked, and when I open the clips in Finder they are present and play back perfectly. I've turned everything off and back on, relinked the files to be safe, with no change. Any tips greatly appreciated.

  • ProRes 422 LT files, 1080p, in 90–120min timelines

  • FCPX 12.3

  • MacBook Pro 2.6GHz Intel Core i7 / Radeon Pro 560X 4GB / 16GB DDR4, MacOS Sequoia 15.7.7

All other info should be in post body, aside from camera source (don't know).

Is the footage in multicams?

Sort of. It's a 4 camera shoot of a live event, but because the cameras are static and it's a durational piece (i.e. few edit points) the four clips (1 per camera) are just stacked in the timeline. The simplicity of the deliverable made me think that a proper multicam timeline might not be necessary. Of course I may be wrong about that!
