Cannot see video preview while editing

Years ago, I captured and edited a movie I had made, using an earlier version of Premiere. Today, I want to do some re-editing, but even when I render the entire video, I cannot see the video preview, though the audio plays just fine. I'm using Adobe CS3 on a Vista system.
The video is a 3.6 gigabyte .mpg file, and plays perfectly when not in Premiere. When in Premiere, all I get is a blank green screen instead of the preview window. It's hard to google the error, because, of course, "green screen adobe premiere" gives a LOT of tutorials, heh. The computer is a new, dual-core system that exceeds all of the system requirements for Premiere.
I don't know where to begin fixing the problem, which I've bashed my head against for weeks now. Helping me will bring you great karma in this world and the next, I assure you.

Based on reading a LOT of problem reports, importing files from a DVD camcorder or other MPEG device, or Ripping DVD files rarely results in success in Premiere... do not be fooled by movie industry advertising into thinking that "DVD Quality Video" is suitable for EDITING... it is not... a DVD is designed to be for PLAYBACK only... and that includes trying to edit a Standard Def MPEG or VOB file!
You should also use WAV sound files, not the compressed MP3 format, To work with AC3 files in Premiere, it MAY work to copy the ad2ac3dec.dll file from the Encore DVD directory into the Premiere directory
Go to my notes page http://www.pacifier.com/~jtsmith/ADOBE.HTM
Click the internal link for editing compressed files... read, there are some ideas & links there
There are other products better suited to your task (read at the link above for a partial list) but if you only have DVD type files, you should convert to DV AVI... go to the VideoHelp link in my notes and look for a program to convert... but do be aware that converting from a HIGHLY compressed viewing format back to an editing format is going to cause a drop in quality
The only SD (Standard Def) files that Premiere really likes are DV AVI type 2

    Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.

  • No audio on playback of imported mpg2 video clip while editing

    I was assisted yesterday by your technical support team to install the photoshop elements 12 & premiere elements 12 which I purchased e few minutes prior.
    while trying to work with the premiere elements 12, I realised that I have no audio  on playback of imported mpg2 video clip while editing.
    How can I solve this audio setting problem?

    If you want us to help you here then please continue reading....
    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
    Is the lack of audio in the Editing area of the program confined to this one particular MPG2 video clip?
    What are the properties of this video file? If you do not know
    a. perhaps the brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the video might give us the information we need for troubleshooting
    b. if not, consider getting that information from MediaInfo (Tree View)
    MediaInfo - Free download and software reviews - CNET Download.com
    Just watch out for carry alongs in the download. The link is for the Windows version. A Mac version is available.
    Did you discover the loss of audio for the video file after you had created a narration clip with the program's Narration Tool?
    If you have not already, please check the settings under Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware and its ASIO settings (including Input and Output enablement).
    Please review, consider, and reply to the above. If you have questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.

  • Cannot see video in iMovie

    This is my first time ever using iMovie so I'm hoping this is super easy. I'm using iMovie 11 in Lion. Ok so I imported an .mp4 video to iMovie and can play audio but I can't see any video. I just want to cut about 3 small clips from a big 20 minute video and put them together. I thought it would be simple, but how do I get the video to show up?

    If your analog video device does not support device control, turn off device control. To do this, choose Preferences from the Edit menu, click the Device Control tab, then make sure the checkbox next to Enable Device Control doesn't have a checkmark in it.

  • HP 8625, cannot see Print Preview or Select Pages

    On my new HP 8625, I cannot see the Print Preview feature nor can I select to print specific pages.  This used to work on my HP c309, so I'm thinking perhaps it's a printer driver issue.  I am specificially having this issue with Excel but it may be occuring in other programs as well.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks for any info.

    Hello @TheEveryman , welcome to the forums
    I would first suggest checking to see if you have Print Preview and the option to print specific pages from other programs, besides Excel as this will show us if the problem is solely within MS Excel, or all programs, which could be a driver issue.
    Skipping forward a little bit and assuming the issue is in all programs, you could try Uninstalling the Printer Software, restarting the computer and reinstalling the printer, here: HP Officejet Pro 8625 e-All-in-One Printer Drivers.
    Please let me know which operating system you're running on your computer and the results from testing the other programs on your computer. The more detail you include, the better!
    Have a great day and hope to hear back from you

  • Please help, EX1 + PremPro CS4.1 NO Preview while editing.

    So, I am wondering what is the best sequence settings for ex1 cam. I am having a ton of problems with cs4 and am thinking (PRAYING) it is a user error.
    Project: 2hr long recital where we had three Sony EX-1 cameras. All shooting 1920x1080p (HQ). And there are two shows, but I'll edit them in different projects.
    In CS3, I would start the project and just pull the footage in... no problem everything played fine. Then when I upgraded to CS4 it was CHOPPY to the point I could not edit.
    Sequence Settings: General:
    Editing Mode: Desktop. But was the EX1 1920x1080 hq by default... but that wasnt working. So far, Desktop is the only thing that has even let video show up... if I import only 25minutes of footage, it plays back smooth! NOTHING has worked like this, so is Desktop the way to go?
    Video Previews: I-Frame Only MPEG
        I really do think this is where the problem is. The video is killing me, audio plays back like a champ (if i turn off the video and press play). I dont know enough about this to know if I am correct or not. Should I do I-frame or AVI? and if AVI which Codec? Also, should i click max bit depth and render quality? i'd assume no for a preview.
    Thanks a million for any help!!!
    System
    Dual Core 2 6600 (2.4GHz)
    8 GB ddr2
    64-bit vista prem
    NVIDIA GeForce 8800GT
    1.5 TB of storage
    OS Drive is a Raptor 10k
    I am on my way to work now to get CS3 to downgrade. /sigh.

    I have a similar problem with HQ EX1 footage. in my case, the problem crops up when shooting lengthy events where the continuous footage ends up being split between two SxS cards. For some reason PPro CS4 has trouble after importing the long file into the project. The culprit seems to be the "importerprocessserver.exe". It locks up after importing the lengthy split clip and prevents further preview. PPro itself doesn't crash. Shorter EX1 footage works fine. It is strange that the split clip seems to import successfully, however the moment I try and preview it the "importerprocessserver" locks up and no further preview is possible (of any footage).
    My workaround has been to move the folder containing half of the split file to another hard drive and import it separately. PPro no longer sees the split files as linked and imports them individually. When I do this I have no difficulty editing EX1 footage.
    I'll be submitting a bug report on this today.

  • Urgent: Cannot see shared volumes while installing Clusterware

    I have made 4 extended logical drives from EMC shared storage to be visible from my two nodes on 64bit windows 2003 server. During Clusterware installation while selecting the disks for OCR and Voting file, I cannot see the raw shared volumes.
    The following is the output of cluvfy utility for component shared storage accessibility,

    Verifying shared storage accessibility
    Checking shared storage accessibility...
    Shared storage check failed on nodes "node2,node1".
    Verification of shared storage accessibility was unsuccessful on all the nodes.
    I also get exectask.exe encounter a problem and needed to close meassage aswell.

    The issue is resolved. I formatted the shared disks with NTFS file system. Then deleted the partition and recreated extended logical volumes and now the shared storage is accessible from the clusterware instalation for the selection of ocr and voting files.
    Thanks anyways.

  • Cannot see video from certain users

    I have a PC and Mac in the house. If I log in to the PC and Mac with 2 of my own separate accounts,  and video skype myself,  the video works okay. I would infer from this that.
    -my router and ISP are okay
    -that my PC and Mac have Skype set up correctly.
    Earlier today I connected with two new people on Skype, and in both cases, they could see me, but I could not see video of them. Audio was okay. Does this mean the problem is at the other users side? I am suprised by the difficulties i am having, given that I can video skype myself with 2 different accounts, and 2 of my own computers.

    The three main causes would be incompatibles due to the Skype version being used by your contacts, bandwidth related, or computer/device hardware related.   If your contact's computers are over 10 years old and don't support the P4 and above SSE2 instruction set then video will be disabled on both ends.

  • Cannot see video on pc

    After upgrading my new iPad (iPad 3) to iOS 6 I can no longer see videos I made with the iPad camera on my PC. I transferred the .mov file in different ways, but Quicktime on my Vista or Windows 7 PC refuses to show the video. The audio plays fine.
    VLC player does show the video, albeit tilted 90 degrees. Videos taken from the iPad before the iOS upgrad play perfectly, even if they are transferred after the upgrade.
    Uploading to YouTube makes things visible again, I just can't get it to show on my Windows PCs. Is there a new war between Apple and Microsoft going on?

    Solved it myself. It looked more and more that Quicktime was the culprit. Downgraded to Quicktime 7.7.1, and all works fine now.
    Strange that Apple has not come up with a fix yet.....

  • Cannot see video in Event library preview browser"

    I am trying to preview video clips in my event library browser.  When I click on the clips to preview/play, I hear the audio, but do not see any video.  I can however still drag them to a project  where I can see and hear them video like "normal".  I was able to do this yesterday, but cannot do this today...I am thinking one of my kids was in iMovie and changed a setting or something....please help!

  • Cannot see video without video camera connected, already imported Video

    I imported my Video from my Video Camera, but after Editing my Video, when I try to share the video, or create a file, a message appears that says "This Item cannot be shared while referancing media on the camera". Ive made made many movies with prior versions of IMovie, now I updated to 10.0.3, If I disconnect the camera, all the Clips have a Question Mark. Seems like the file is not saved to my Hard Drive.

    I can't even see the VPs in order to play them.
    Try placing the podcasts in a test playlist and resync your iPod. If neither the playlist nor the files appear on the iPod, they were likely not copied.
