<p>A while ago I made a short test animation. It was a red circle on a white background. Every time I create a new project or composition, there is always a picture of that red circle. The only time it doesn't show is when the video I am trying to edit is playing. I tried resetting my preferences and that didn't help. </p>

I think we need more information on this. You mention that there is a "picture of that red circle". Can you attach screenshots or be more specific as to where the picture is?
