Adobe Premiere Pro hungs, does not listen to commands / Mac

I subscribe Adobe premiere pro for almost half a year and till now it was working perfectly. But for one week it has completely stopped reacting on any commands. I click "play" but it does not play, it hungs all the time. I tried to restart both Mac and programme but still Premiere is not working. Please anyone had this problem before and know how to fix it?
Thank you!

My normal use of Premiere Pro CC involves importing footage shot using either my Canon EOS5D Ml iii or my Panasonic FZ200. I import the footage using Media Browser. When I create a new project it always used to display the Media Browser screen on a second monitor. It also showed in the project settings that the renderer was Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA).
Since updating to CC2014 it is not uncommon for the second monitor to be inactive and the renderer to appear as Mercury Playback Engine Software only.
When I queried this with Adobe support they first of all took control of my PC and updated the graphics driver. This did not seem to fix the issue which they put down to my graphics card not being on the Adobe list of supported AMD and NVIDIA products.
I also spoke to the NVIDA support people and they confirmed this diagnosis.
Since then the circumstances vary. Sometimes the second monitor appears and the Mercury Engine Accelerator (CUDA) is active and sometimes not. I also never had the problem until I upgraded to CC2014.
I can live with this problem but would prefer if it wasn't there and I was running a supported graphics card.
My real question is which of the huge list of supported products would be best. The price range is vast and I do not want to overkill the problem by installing a card with features I will never need.
I do not play any computer games and am only really concerned with Premiere Pro CC, After Effects CC and Photoshop CC.
My use of effects in Premiere is limited although I do play around with Colour Correction and Sharping. I am also exploring the use of Lumetri.
My hope is advise from someone who has experience or knowledge of upgrading to a supported card.
Thank in advance and for the guidance from previous responders.

Adobe Premiere Pro CC does not open project - just hangs, no error message

I've just finished editing a project in PP CC, saved it, then tried to reopen it and the program shows a blank page, then hangs. I get no error message.
The project is based off a PP 5.5 timeline. It updates fine (and in fact I can open and convert the original timeline with no problem). However, once I close the new version and try to reopen, this symptom occurs.
I have updated my Creative Cloud software and it shows the Premiere Pro is up to date.
My computer is an ASUS laptop running Windows 8.1 Pro
i5 processor
8GB RAM
NVidea Geforce 610M+2GB graphics card
Need help as I have to have this project output and uploaded by 8am tomorrow.

This is a follow up to my original post and follow up. I've now seen this issue several more times and realize it was not an issue with my USB drive. It is an issue with the Dynamic Linking in Premiere. I consider this a MAJOR BUG, so please note what I've found if you have an issue with archiving or opening projects done with previous versions of PP.
The issue I've found is that Premiere seems to lock up trying to find dead media links. If you've archived a project or moved files from their original position, Premiere CC cannot seem to find them. The result is not a system hang up, but just a blank screen. In some cases, after leaving it for a couple hours it found the media and continued.
I've had a similar issue when trying to link 'dead' media with the actual files. The system goes off into neverland.
The work around I've found is to import the older jobs into a new Premiere CC project. At that point, replace any dead links (do NOT try and find the media as you'll be lost in hangupville) by importing the media again and replacing the clip in the sequence with the new import from the bin. Once all your media is 'live', remove any unused media from the project and confirm there are no 'dead' links (you can look at the media icon and notice a ? if they are not dynamically linked properly). Manually clear any remaining unlinked media. Save the project.
I have started to use Project Manager to archive all Premiere projects when moving them from one server to another.
This is a total pain in the @ss, and nothing I've seen before Creative Cloud. I hope that Adobe gets this resolved or I may consider dropping my subscriptions completely. That is a huge investment, but this type of issue is too much trouble to manage for a small production company.
I welcome any other thoughts, fixes, or comments.

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB) is working with this USB device without any problem

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!

Premiere Pro CC does not open MOD files correctly

Hi,
I just started using the Adobe Creative Cloud as a trial, in particular the Premiere Pro CC software, since it might be relevant, I am working on a mac (completely updated as of yesterday).
I have a JVC GZ-MG505 camcorder. This device saves the video files on an internal HDD in a file format called MOD. From what I have been able to see when searching on the web, this should be nothing more than a MPEG-2 file.
So, I tried importing some video files into Premiere Pro and to my surprise, I noticed that a whole strip on the right hand side of the image is missing. The original is recorded in a widescreen (16:9) format with 720x576 pixels and Premiere Pro gives me a file with 540x576 pixels. I have tried using the Interpret Footage to change this, but it doesn't let me change the number of pixels. I also tried opening the files in Adobe Media Encoder and I have exactly the same results as in Premiere Pro. However, opening the files in VLC or mPlayer they come out exactly as expected with all the pixels there. Has anyone come accross this problem before or can anyone help me with solving this?
I could try reencoding the files with VLC, but the output file is much smaller than the input file, so I am afraid I am loosing some definition.
So, just to restate my problem, the adobe products open my MOD files without complaining, but for some reason they loose a strip 180 pixels wide on the right hand side of the image.
Cheers

That is correct: there is a bug in CC. In CS6 they work correctly.

Flash SSD for Adobe Premiere Pro - problem, or not?

Hi,
I've just ordered a new workstation specifically for Adobe Premiere Pro use.
Then I saw this on Adobe's technical requirements page for PP:
10GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on flash-based storage devices)
It honestly never occurred to me that a modern RAM-based hard drive might cause a problem for specific software, does anyone know if this is true and if so why?
It's not too late for me to re-spec a 15'000rpm drive instead but it seems a bit daft.
Thanks in advance
Alastair

True enough but like tweaking the bios changing windows swap files (evinronmental varibles actually) etc is not the average users typical tweak!
SSD is far faster than any SCSI.
the SSD is less money that SCSI (have to buy a controller)
Sata is pretty much the same spped as SCSI other than seek time.
SCSI is dead! i have not seen scsi drives for sale from any of my vendors in about 2 yrs now. SAS yes. but again pointless.
and the onboard sas controllers are not so hot.
not to mention having your OS on SSD does make everything snappier. even without the adobe temp files.

Adobe Premiere Pro Cs6 Will Not Open

I have an issue.
Essentially I began installing Adobe Premiere Pro, and it installed halfway before concluding it had allegedly finished installing all the updates.
This is not true as I cannot click the application in Creative Cloud, and my arrow remains as the standard cursor.
This is the second time this has happened, as I was forced to reinstall Creative Cloud and all of my Applications.
I thought a clean install would have helped the situation but it seems to have made no difference, there is no way to open this application, it merely says that it has been installed though is completely unusable.

What is your operating system?
Yosemite sometimes has problems, often related to "default" permissions needing to be changed

Premiere Pro CC does not embed 708 captions in QT

Despite the fact that all of the online videos make it seem like exporting embedded closed captions is a breeze, it is not. After much experimentation I have found out there is no way to export 708 captions embedded into a QT file. I have been working with closed captions for a long time, and I am very familiar with the different pitfalls of closed captions. Why Adobe would chose to embed 608 captions only in an HD file is beyond me. To be excepted by broadcasters the captions must be 708 VANC Captions with the 608 alternative. Every time I get a file out of MACCaption this is what is included. I have tried to import those files into premiere pro CC and it does not see the captions.
I have tried creating the Sidecar file as a .mcc file, and it seems to be correct. Unfortunately there is no way to embed this into a QT file.
Kevin

You are correct that 708 captions cannot be embedded in QuickTime files; they can be embedded in MXF OP1a outputs or written to sidecars. This is covered, albeit indirectly, at the bottom of this help page.
Support for closed captions is a work-in-progress. CC7.0 provided support for CEA-608 and Teletext; support for CEA-708 was added in either 7.0.1 or 7.1. Of course, "support" is a loose concept, and work remains to be done on particular aspects of what exactly can be imported, how captions can be exported, and workflows for editing captions in a project. You can help us set priorities by submitting feature requests on what you think are the greatest needs.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 App not working

Hi, I have a licensed install of Adobe CC. Recently Premiere Pro showed up in the list of software available for install, in the CC window. I installed it, and it now shows up as an installed app, however, it is not clickable, like the other apps are in the CC window. I do not find it in my list of programs in my Windows programs menu, and a search for Premiere, does not yield any results either. What am I doing wrong? I am running Windows 7.

Hi,
Here is what you need to do. Sign from the Creative Cloud app and Quit it.
Navigate here: Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe and move the 'Caps' folder to desktop.
Then sign in again to Creative Cloud and see if it still shows up.
Thanks!

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Capture not working, capturing as MP3

I'm using Project Setting of HDV and Sequence Settings of DVCProHD HD1080i 50 (this says it is the preset for Panasonic P2 cameras, mine is Sony as above but I have no other generic HDV settings).
The video plays through the Capture window fine and looks like it is capturing as .mp3
When I stop the capture the file does not appear in the Project window as I think it should.
I've gone to File > Import to bring the file back in. It is there but when I do this there is a File Import Failure message saying "there was an error decompressing audio and video"
Any help would be great I need to export the video as soon as possible.
Also, as I have no generic HDV or Sony preset Sequence Settings if you could tell how to add them/update Premiere that would be great.
Many thanks.

Premiere Pro CS4 does not handle AVCHD Files well.

Loaded the master collection of CS4 when it first came out. I had purchased CS4 for the AVCHD file format. I had no problems using Premiere Pro until I ugraded to version 4.0.1 in March of this year then all AVCHD file selections dissappeared. Hence, I could not create new AVCHD projects and the existing projects did not fuction properly. I have been through a series of uninstalls (and deactivations) and reinstalls. Reinstalls did not work. Had to delete by renaming the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Installers\7e74552a59eaf9fafd13f90894ac9bd to get the reinstall to work. I have also used Windows Install Clean Up to remove all Adobe CS4 files that the windows "Add or Rmove Programs" did not remove. When I did get the reinstall to work, Premiere Pro would work for awhile then became slow to the point the project became unusable. Tried the all upgrades again and again the selection of AVCHD files dissappeared. I do not need the AVCHD Intra capability. The last uninstall I just uninstalled Premiere. I could not reinstall Premiere until I uninstalled the entire master collection than the reinstall of just Premiere succeeded. Premiere was totally unusuable.
Has anyone had similiar issues with Premiere Pro and AVCHD files and were you able to resolve the problem? I am considering removing all Adobe products, including past versions and trying the reinstall again, or create another profile and install just the Adobe products, or - the last resort - reformating my hard drive and starting over again. I would like to get Premiere Pro working again properly before reformating.
Previous versions of Adobe have worked with no problems.

Adobe Premiere Elements 11 does not open

Hello,
I just bought adobe photo elements 11 and premiere 11. I already had a trial version from Photo Elements11. With the code I could activate the whole program so this succeeded.
However, I tried to install Adobe Premiere elements 11 (several times) I installed and de-installed and re-installed a couple of times but with no success. During the installation process it does go through the whole installing procedure and everything seemed ok; the icon appears on my desktop but when I try to click to open it, it doesn't open..(it's not doing anything at all, you see the mouse turning into that "swirl circle" very briefly then it stops and nothing opens)
I also tried to download the trial version and hoped with the code I could open it, but nothing happen there either.
Hope you can help me out. I also didn;t receive any error messages.
I have a Intel Core i5-2430M - 2,4 Ghz, Windows7.
thanks!

Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 does not start anymore

This happened to me three times now. One time Adobe Acrobat Pro 10 is working properly for weeks. It crashes once and after that it does not start anymore without providing a message or clue.
What I used to do is remove CS6 completely and reinstall it. But this is tedious. Just uninstalling Acrobat Pro and reinstalling it doesn't do the trick.
My guess is that a setting is stopping Acrobat Pro from starting. Is it possible to reset Acrobat Pro settings to the factory default? I've already remove the folders under
%LOCALAPPDATA% \adobe\acrobat and
%APPDATA% \adobe\acrobat
but this doesn't help.

Ok. This occasion I had a bit of time on my hand and found a solution yuhu!
Make sure you have access to you license key as you have to enter it new after this procedure
1) Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe PCD\cache
2) Delete or rename the file cache.db
3) Open Acrobat Pro, you will be asked to license the software again under your Adobe-ID again.
4) If asked to connect to your Adobe-ID and re-enter the license key.
Now Acrobat Pro is working (as are all the other CS6 applications.

Adobe premiere elements 13 does not run

Hy,
I bought adobe photoshop and premiere elements 13 and installed first of all adobe premiere on my laptop with windows 8. Every time I start the program it tells me to register the program and to accept the therms and conditions of adobe. After I ACCEPTED THEM NOTHING ELSE HAPPENS; THE PROGRAM STOPS SOMEHOW????
I reinstalled the program, I registered the Program directly at the homepage, nothing solved the problem...
Heeeeeeeelp me please!!!!!!

Gerold
Thanks for the reply. While reading through it, I was struck by
I work with a normal Compaq LAPTOP 1,72 GHZ and 2 GB RAM Windows 8.
The processor clock speed is low, but look at the installed RAM of 2 GB. I suspect much too low. If you have high definition project with video compression like AVCHD, you should be in for major problems even if you get the program to open. So, this is a major concern even at the level of trying to get the program to open in that computer environment. How many RAM slots does your computer motherboard have? Can you get at least 4 to 8 GB total installed RAM?
True, your Premiere Elements 13 is a 64 bit application running on Windows 8.1 64 bit and it can take advantage of the 64 bit resources. But you do not appear
to have much 64 bit resources for this to be a positive factor.
With regard to a possible factor that you mentioned...
If you suspect leftovers from previously uninstalled program(s), it is a good idea to go through the scenario
a. uninstall the program the usual control panel way
b. do a free ccleaner run through to get rid of leftovers from incomplete installs and reinstalls
CCleaner - Download
c. reinstall the program with the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
Please review and consider. And, then we can discuss the above factors further.
Thank you.
