Adobe Premiere Won't Playback

Ok just recently Adobe Premiere CS3 stopped playback. I have tried everything, spacebar, play button, L key. All it does is change the little graphic of the play button to a stop button. But there is no video and no audio playing but I can scroll through the timeline without any problems. So what is the problem? It worked before...

Is that a single 120GB HDD? If so, I'd not be surprised that MP4's did not play, or if they did, played smoothly.
As for CS3 working one day, but not the next, then something has likely changed. It could be as simple as an update to the OS killing a driver, or similar, or a HDD finally reaching its limit. Your task will be to try and find what changed. Were you on a PC, my first recommendation would be to update all Audio and Video drivers, and make sure to have the latest version of Apple QT installed. Not sure about drivers on the Mac-side of the street.
For NLE (Non Linear Editing) work, three physicall HDD's is about the min. recommended configuration.
Also, MP3's can be very problematic. I'd convert all of these to AAF (isn't that the Mac equivilent of WAV?), before Import. Far fewer problems.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Why does Adobe Premiere CS6 slow playback after importing some audio?

    Adobe Premiere CS6.0 v6.0.2
    Mac Pro:
    1, 4 core - 3.2ghz CPU
    16gb ram (4 sticks of 4gb @ 1066 MHz)
    1 Tb dive with OS/Apps on
    2Tb 7200 RPM media drive
    ATI Radeon HD 5770
    Sequence:
    30Fps
    1920x1080
    Media:
    mostly .MFX files from a Canon XF100 however these clips commonly play nice with Premiere.
    Issue:
    After importing some audio clips (.wav/.mp3, possibly other extensions) to the timeline on occasion the video playback will become choppy and the audio will slow down 3% creating any voices in the video to become deeper and slows down.  Choppy video playback as well.  The problem is very annoying but  it can be temporarily fixed with a computer restart but it will come back.
    Things to note:
    Creating a rendered ID (Exporting the movie out to a .mov) the slowed choppy video does not appear in the final movie.
    Temp. Solution:
    The only way I can fix this problem is by restarting the computer.  Simply restarting Adobe Premiere and closing any non-essential applications does not fix the problem.
    Any ideas on how to fix this are much apperciated.

    Try converting your MP3 to AIFF ,QT or something else Macs like. See if that helps.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Playback Unusable-PLAYBACK ISSUES

    Hello,
    I've just downloaded the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Trial, but whenever I put a clip in the sequence timeline, the playback stops after a second or so. I filmed my screen to show the problem (computer specs at the end of the video).Is it because the sequence settings do not match the clip's properties? I'm also new to Adobe Premiere.
    Here's the video:

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 11 Playback Stops

    I'm using Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on a new HP workstation. I've created several projects without problems. I've recently had some lost media files and re-installed Premiere Elements.  Now when I click play, it plays for a short time and then stops. I click again and it plays for a short time and stops again. Any suggestions?

    Mary
    Thanks for the replies.
    Typically, I think about Scratch Disks as storage places to where the project automatically sends its files generated as part of one of its activities - thinking
    preview files, conformed audio, autosaves, encoded files. An Adobe document describes them as per the following link.
    Adobe Premiere Elements 11 * Working with scratch disks
    You do not want your computer bogged down by pile ups of these files from project to project.
    With your next projects, I would look at beforehand pointing all the Scratch Disks (Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks) to that E drive with the 1.8 TB space (assumed
    most of it free).
    With those clips with the .mod file extension, right click the file name, select Rename from the drop down list.
    When you select Rename, typically the name part of the file, not the file extension, is highlighted for the type in.
    file name.mod. In that case, with your mouse cursor, click between the . and the mod and drag the mouse curser
    to the right over the mod. Then type mpeg or .mpg.
    A good starting place to explore for best settings for your described source might be
    Project Preset set manually to
    NTSC
    DV Standard
    or you might want to experiment with
    NTSC
    FLIP
    Flip Mino and Ultra 29_97p
    Please check out the how to for manual setting of the project preset. That is found at bottom of the following link

    We will be watching for your progress. Please let us know if you are OK with the above information.

    So every time i playback, export, or render this video an error message shows up about 64% through. It makes me close the program! then you go to open it again and rename it but you try it again and it keeps doing it!
    What can i do?

    Also, how much free, defragmented space is left on your hard drive? And what video format are you using as your source files? If photos, are they sized to no larger than 1000x750 pixels in size, per our FAQs?

  • Canon MXF Playback in Adobe Premiere CC

    I shot a film usinng the Canon C300 recording 50 Mbps MXF MPEG 2 files. When I import them into Adobe Premiere CC all playback shows a white screen (not rendering). In Adobe CS6 it works perfectly. I just got the Adobe CC trial to see if it is worth paying for and to try out editing in it but this problem won't let me see my videos. Audio works fine, however.
    Please assist.

    Hi Simon,
    I suspect you may be having issues with activation. Sign out of Creative Cloud, and then sign back in. See if you are able to import your files after that.

  • 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.

    Are you running the following update? OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 Update
    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)?

    What video card is your Windows 8.1 (assumed 64 bit) computer using? NVIDIA GeForce or other?
    Please check the Device Manager/Display Adapters to confirm the video card/graphics card and how many cards.
    Is the card driver version up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
    Are you working from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? And, do you have QuickTime (latest version) installed on
    the computer with Premiere Elements?
    Are you  using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?

    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.

    I have adobe Premiere Elements 13. It will not let me delete audio or have it fade in or out. I can move the yellow line all the way down till the volume reads -0.0, but the sound is still there on playback. I can click on fade in and fade out and the yellow line that graphs volume takes a sharp raise or dip at the beginning or end of the clip, but there is no change in volume when I play back. What am I doing wrong?

    rickeyt
    Thanks for the reply. Great news about the volume adjusts.
    Now about those fades for the volume. How are you doing that?
    1. Right click the Timeline video audio and select Fade and then
    see the Fade options (I had a video with audio file, so I saw the choices as shown in the screenshot)
    2. You can also create two volume keyframes at each end of the Timeline audio clip rubberband (orange line that goes horizontally across the middle of the audio clip). At the position of the Timeline Indicator, click the Add/Remove Keyframe icon, and then with the mouse cursor position the white dots (volume keyframes) to achieve the Fade In and Fade Out audio. In the screenshot below I have moved the Timeline Indicator so that you could better see the white dots (volume keyframes).
    Please let us know if any of the above works for you with regard to the audio fades.
    Thank you.

  • 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.

  • No playback in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

    Hello,
    I am learning from a training book for Adobe Premiere CS6 using a trial version, and there is always a problem with playback where the clips don't play when I press space bar or the j,k, and L keys. I am using the minimum requirements on my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 and I understand it's not good to edit from USB which I am doing. However, is there any way to fix this playback issue? Sometimes it plays when I change the audio hardware settings.
