Adobe Premiere Pro CC Won't Playback / Freezes

I was using it just 2 days ago and all was well, everything worked perfectly. I then tried to open the same project today and it will not play back. I started a NEW project today and imported media. While auditioning media when I hit space bar to start the footage it plays (sometimes) for less than a second then stops / freezes. What am I doing wrong? This is kind of URGENT as I have to deliver a project by end of day... I am guessing BACK to final cut is the best option? I was trying hard to make the swap to Premiere, it just does not seem to work on my machine consistantly.

Is my computer not good enough to use Premiere?
Thanks!

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Playback Freezing, Audio Dropouts

    There are several times when I'm working on a project, whether small, medium or large in size, where playback tends to seize up my entire machine and everything locks up/freezes for 3-5 seconds.  Then when it starts to play again, I get the audio dropout error.  After scouring through multiple forums, I saw one of the Adobe help suggestions was to remove the speakers (one that a user scoffed at).  I thought, what the hell, and unplugged my headphones.  Voila - playback is stutter free.  Now, I haven't worked for hours on end yet so this is a preliminary result.  My concern is that I work in an open office so I'm surrounded by colleagues working so having headphones is ideal.  I'm in a catch 22 and not sure what solutions there are so I don't experience program hang-ups so I can work in silence.

    I am a first time user and i have watched many tutorial regarding how to export but it still does not work. I have used Mac iMovie many times before. I have changed to a windows 7 now though. Please help It won't export.

    Welcome to the forums.
    If I were to tell you:
    I just started my export business and I watched several programs about exporting, but I can't get it to work. I used to have a small shop for a long time, but I wanted to get into a new business. Please help to export.
    you must think:
    1. What kind of stuff does he want to export, flowers, food, hazardous materials, weaponry, tug boats, ...
    2. From where to where: From the US to Iran, Columbia, Canada, San Marino, ...
    3. Why would they need tug boats in San Marino or wepons in Iran?
    4. What export licenses does he have?
    etc.
    Same with your question. Look here: How to ask questions the smart way
    Explain your source material, the codec used, the sequence settings, export settings, where it went wrong, etc.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro no longer opening on my Mac

    I have Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 on my Mac. My monthly subscription doesn't end until late November. I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro for over a month with no problems; lately, the playback has been slower, but I figured this was due to my slow hard drive/ larger media files/increased use of effects (and this may be the case, but I figured I'd mention this if there is a connection). The main problem is that Adobe Premiere Pro just WON'T open. The main screen opens up but every time it freezes at "Loading ExporterQuickTimeHost.bundle", as you can see in the screen shot. I then always need to force quit the application..... I urgently need a fix to this problem.

  • Why does Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 quit upon playback of a sequence?

    I have a new iMac 27" 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 with 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, running 10.8.5. I have a project using AVCHD files running at 59.94 fps, 1920x1080. The media is on a OWC Mercury Elite- AL Pro Qx2; it is at least 3 years old and it is connected to the iMac via a LaCie eSATA hub (with the eSATA cord). Also I have the Mercury Playback Engine GPR Acceleration (CUDA) enabled.
    I can edit in a project for a while fine but then the playback starts getting weird and hanging up. The cursor jumps in the timeline and the picture freezes on a frame. Sometimes, the playback monitor screen turns a solid green. Sometimes I will then receive an error message saying "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." I usually have to force quit at this point. I try opening a new project and bringing in the sequences again. It will work for some time, and then the same problem again.
    Is there a problem with Premiere Pro or do I need a faster, newer media drive?
    Thanks.

    Is the SSD you are running your system on one you installed, or is it factory installed from Apple?
    Are you testing with a brand new project file or one you updated from a previous version?
    What happens to you precisely when this issue occurs? Are you working for 5-10 minutes, then the program freezes? Or do you get a warning dialog box?
    Have you checked permissions for your Adobe folders (see my blog): Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
    Have you tried trashing preferences (press Shift + Option while starting Premiere Pro)?

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2) freezes up constantly on Mac OS X Yosemite

    After the latest update (no idea which one but the latest update) Premiere Pro cc just keeps freezing up constantly. There's no indication what brings it up but after different periods of time I just get the apple wheel and the entire program freezes up. I force quit and get the "sorry, a serious problem has occured", blabla. Sometimes it's in the middle of cutting a clip, sometimes it's while trimming. There isn't a single indication what causes it. At first I thought it was only because of using a multicam clip, but that's not the case anymore. I tried reducing memory to other apps, deleting preview files, deleting autosaves, turning off autosave altogether, deleting Adobe Premiere 8.0 preference file, changing permissions, basically everything in this post: Re: Adobe Premiere Pro CC keeps crashing... (Which now also seems totally neglected by Adobe).
    Believe me, there's hardly a thing I haven't tried.
    It's getting REALLY frustrating now and it's time something is done about this. Yes I know, "don't just say it's frustrating, explain the problem", but that fase has passed now. I'm paying for this product and it needs to work like it should.
    Also I know I'm not the only one who's having these problems.
    My specs are:
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012)

    One great reason to get a Mac only version of the post. It is never a good idea to post on a Windows post with Mac problems. And when threads get so long and unruly, the team can't focus on the actual issue so it doesn't get the attention it needs.

    Definitely do not update Premiere Pro or OS X when in the middle of a project. Wait until it's complete. If you did either or both of these things, you can cause your project to become corrupt. After your current project is wrapped, test with a brand new project.

    - The problem just happens while working in my sequence, not in any final output. I don't know what is meant by "previews", but I have the yellow bar indicator in my sequence, if that's info you need.
    I have heard of others having issues with OS X 10.10 and NVIDIA GPUs. My advice is to consider downgrading your OS if you continue to have issues. I believe I have avoided a lot of trouble by sticking to OS X 10.8.5.
    Previews AKA the Media Cache are your "render files." They can become corrupt, so it's a good idea to trash them when troubleshooting. You can locate them via your Preferences > Media. Click the Browse button.
    JJ Millen wrote:
    Okay I went through that menu (which I'm not eager to do, I prefer direct contact) and came across the CUDA setting inside the project settings. I've now enabled the "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)", which might help.
    So were you set to "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" or "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (OpenCL)" prior to changing it to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)?
    JJ Millen wrote:
    Testing with a brand new project is not an option. I have a deadline for my current project and it's impossible to start from scratch. What I did try is start a new project and importing the existing one, which didn't help so far.
    I was just wondering if you experienced the same issues in a new project. Any project you update to a new version is suspect, in my opinion. In the future, try to avoid doing that. If your current project is corrupt, I could see why you are having certain issues.
    For what it's worth, we had another user that exhibited similar issues until they started with a brand new Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2) file.
    Since importing your 8.1 file to a new 8.2 project isn't working, make sure to triple check permissions on all the Adobe folders I laid out in my blog post: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
    It's the #1 reason Mac users experience freezing and crashing. The other one I'd look at is that NVIDIA drivers are not working well with Yosemite. Finally, if you update a project across versions, it can become corrupt. Not much you can do about that except start a new project ASAP.

  • After installing Adobe Premiere Pro product CS6 in the program is not active PlayBack

    After installing Adobe Premiere Pro product CS6 in the program is not active
    PlayBack button setting when creating sequence.
    Windows 7 64-bit. Intel Xeon 2, RAM 12 MB. Mxo2

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting that screenshot. It appears that you have opened your Sequence Settings for a DV-NTSC sequence and have made a circle around the "Edit Settings" button.
    Since you chose to create a DV sequence, you cannot change those settings.
    Do you have DV NTSC clips? If so, these are the correct settings.
    If you do not have DV NTSC clips, do not be concerned. Just create the sequence.
    Once you drag a non-DV clip into the DV sequence, it's OK.
    You have the option of changing the Sequence Settings to match those of your clip in a new dialog box.
    Click "Change Sequence Settings" in the dialog box.
    I hope that helps.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CC crush - no Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration (OPEN CL)

    I was an happy customer of Adobe CC till few days ago.
    It were a few weeks I did not update the software in CC due to a problem with connection.
    Needed to use Premiere Pro CC. It always crushes my MacBook Pro retina 2012 (16 giga ram) during export of the video. The monitor became black and there was no way to restart.
    The Macbook worked smoothly with all the other softwares. Deleted CC and reinstalled everything, which was quit painful. However, at the end of the day, Premiere Pro CC works but I cannot use Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (open CL) which I used all the times before with huge advantage (exporting a 1 minute video in good quality needed 2 minutes with GPU accelerator, 20 minutes without).
    When I open old project of Premiere Pro cc I read this message "this project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU acceleration (OPEN CL), which is either not available or not certified on this system. Mercury Playback Engine software only will be used". There is no way to change the rendered from Project setting - Mercury Playback Engine software is the only option.  
    My question: is it a problem with Adobe Premiere Pro CC or with my graphic?

    Ask in the Premiere forum.
