Audio Playback Issues in Premiere Pro 8.1.0 with AJA Kona 3

Hi,
I'm supporting a couple of edits running the latest version of Premiere Pro. The editors are experiencing some strange stuttering/glitching audio playback via the installed AJA Kona 3 cards, manifested as follows:
When scrubbing using keyboard arrow keys for any prolonged period of time, audio either begins to stutter or fails to playback (despite there being activity on the audio monitors within the software)
When playing audio with unrendered effects (nothing too challenging, unrendered titles etc.), the audio will occasionally not play at all or will begin to stutter also.
Specs are as follows:
HP z800 running Windows 7 64-bit
2 x Intel Xeon X5650 CPUs
32GB RAM
512GB Samsung SSD
nVidia Quadro 4000 (latest drivers installed)
AJA Kona 3 (latest drivers installed)
Wacom Intuos 4 tablet (latest drivers installed)
Storage is a SMB share connected via a dedicated 1Gb/s ethernet link (Intel PRO 1000 card) and media is largely DVCPRO HD 100 wrapped as OP1a MXF, with corresponding sequence settings.
I've played with various RAM and Playback settings (including setting the AJA video playback buffer to 'minimum' as suggested on another thread regarding audio playback), but the problems persist. Is there anything else I can try, or more information I can provide?

Since it worked with CS5.5, check with Blackmagic to see if they have updates for CS6
I know from other discussions that an nVidia driver update was needed for at least some people upgrading to CS6

I'm having audio playback problems in Premiere Pro CC...

The Apple Pro Res 422 clip only plays about 15 frames of audio. Video looks great, but I get no useable audio, and can't edit this way.
I've got Pro Res 422 video, with 32 bit PCM float audio, captured off a DVC PRO HD deck,
using an AJA Kona LHI card.
Mac Pro 2.26 Quad, 8 G RAM, 10.9.1 OS
Anyone?

Video Playback Issue in Premiere Pro CS6

I am editing a video with 2 video tracks on top of each other. When I scrub through the timeline or jusy hit play in the timeline the top layer of video scales to about 50% and plays on top of the layer below it. But it didn't do that 2 days ago. Any ideas on what could cause that? I have attached a screen capture of what it looks like while playing back. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
::Premiere Pro CS6 (v 6.0.5) and a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9 on a SSD, and 8GB RAM::

They are both 1280x720 but they were shot on 2 different cameras. The thing that is killing me is that I have done this exact same camera setup and editing before without this issue. And it only scales the top layer video down while scrubbing or playing back (spacebar). When the playhead is still it pops back to normal.

Strange Green Playback Issues in Premiere Pro CC?

Hi, I'm having problems with some footage shot yesterday on a Canon C300. Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.
I backed-up the footage, imported it into Premiere and made a few rough cuts. I then left it for the day and came into work today to carry on (so I thought). When I opened premiere I was getting this weird green problem anytime I try to play the sequence. I created new sequences & new projects and tried the footage again and still same issue. I then tried some other footage we had, that was shot on a C300 (.MXF). Same issue. I can open the footage in VLC and Resolve with no problems.
A video of the problem can be seen on vimeo:
https://vimeo.com/92148775 (password: ppcc)
My setup is:
Mac Pro 5,1 / 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core / 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 memory
PCI Cards (Internal)
Slot 1 ATI Radeon HD 5870
Slot 2 MiniSAS connection to external Cubix expansion chassis
Slot 3 Blackmagic Design Decklink 4K Extreme
Slot 4 SmallTree dual port 10GbE adapter
PCI Cards (External - Cubix Xpander Desktop Elite)
Slot 1 NVidia GTX 680 4GB
Slot 2 NVidia GTX 680 4GB
Slot 3 NVidia GTX 680 4GB
Slot 4 RedRocket
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am really struggling (I'm not the most technical of editors).
Anything else you need to know, just ask!
Thanks

1. What card do you have?
2. Which drivers version are you using for the BMD card?
3. Mac OSX or Windows?
4. When the playback stops, do you see a small red icon down right in Pr's user interface and if yes, what does it say when you double click on it?
If i remeber correctly the Turn Off Dropped Frame Warning is a per timeline setting. I am not at the editing station now, so i can't check.
I assumed that 1280p50 was a typo in your first post and that you actually mean 720p50. Am i correct?
Four questions, four answers please!

Audio playback issues on MacBook Pro

The right audio channel has suddenly stopped working on my MacBook Pro.... some of the time. If I use iTunes, DVD Player, Quicktime, VLC, or any media application, I only hear audio on the left channel. This is equally true whether I play audio through the speakers, or via the headphone jack. However when I restart the laptop, the startup tone is clearly heard through both speakers. I have tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC to no avail. Any guesses?
Thank you,
Jeff

Follow-up: it occurred to me that I didn't check the "Sound" Preference settings. It turns out that somehow the slider had set itself all the way to the left channel without my touching it -- I haven't used the balance slider in years, probably, if ever. Weird.... but problem solved.

Audio Playback Issue Premiere Pro CS6 with AJA IO Express

I am running Premiere Pro CS6 on PC Windows7 64Bit with AJA Io Express. The video is playing back fine no issues there but the audio is struggling to playback. Sometimes it plays back fine but 90% of the time doesn't.
When I play it back it sounds as if I am moving forward frame by frame! Very strange.
I have already installed the latest drives for AJA Io Express.
Premiere Pro Version 6.0.3
AJA Io Express version 10.3.0
Anyone has been expereince the same issues please let me know or anyone that know what's happening or any kind of suggestions again let me know pls
thanks

Premiere Pro CC 2014 Playback Issue / Crash Mac Pro 2011

Hi,
I've been having a big crash issue on Premiere Pro CC 2014, since the 2014.1 update.
2014.0 has been working fine this year but the update has crashed some of my biggest current projects.
Programs just starts fine, workspace responds, but anything related to playback just crashes or freezes Premiere.
My config:
Mac Pro Mid 2010
Processor : 2x2,93 6-core Xeon
Ram : 24Go 1333
2x ATI Radeon HD 5770.
I've been reading all major topics on this, this i did :
- disable Mercury Transmission
- Flushes Premiere cache
- Reinstall premiere
- Updated to Mavericks (issue happened both in 10.9 and 10.10 - thought updating drivers+opencl would help, then again no)
- Repaired permissions
- Tried with another user session
… and so on.
Nothing yet has solved my issue, anyone to help me on this major trouble ?
Thanks in advance, best regards !
Paul

Hi Paul,
Try the following:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU drivers
Trash preferences
Ensure Adobe folder preferences are set to read/write in all 3 locations.
Delete media cache
Remove plug-ins
Repair permissions
In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
Disconnect any third party hardware
Disable App Nap
Reboot
I placed the chief culprits in bold.
Report back if anything here worked for you.
Thanks,
Kevin

How do I get audio back on single clip that loses audio when imported into Premiere Pro CC?

I've got one clip out of many that for some reason won't play any audio when imported into Premiere Pro. I am new to Premiere Pro so am hoping it's something stupid I've done, but this is a problem with just a single clip exported the same way as all my others, the original audio is loud (not quiet) and none of the FAQ issues seem to apply (ie I haven't muted the audio or anything stupid like that)
The clip was exported from Plural Eyes into a "master" Premiere Pro project where the audio is fine. I exported it as a short MP4 clip and if I play the clip in Windows Media Player the audio is there loud and clear.
But when I import the clip into a fresh Preimiere Pro CC project this clip appears with just the "film strip" icon on the far left in the Timeline panel, unlike other clips which have an icon that shows "film strip" in the background and "audio wave" in the foreground.
I'm hitting so many glitches with the CC editions of Premiere Pro and After Effects which have annoying inconsistencies between them I'm tempted to just go back to Sony Vegas Pro (single program, no hassle) but hoping most of these issues are down to "newbie incompetence". Very hard to understand why this one clip out of many should be giving me this specific problem though. Any ideas?

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

Why do I get choppy playback in Adobe Premiere Pro cs6?

The playback is really choppy.
What I am using:
(Brand New) iMac
Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 MB
Nikon D5100 DSLR
Shot in 1080i 30 fps
Thanks

I cannot believe how bad the playback is in Premiere Pro CC, and, how little help there is out there. Raw MOVs from a 5D plays back like garbage on my laptop or 8 core Mac Pro. Its ridiculous. I'm better off transcoding to ProRes and using FCP which works, or God forbid, go back to using Avid like its 1999. Unfortunately It has nothing to do with the two graphic cards or 32 gigs of memory I have either, it just plays back like garbage. Using the JKL keys is completely awkward because the lag between hitting the key and playback is excruciating. I'm at 1/2 resolution and it cant play back footage without being choppy. no FX, and the footage and hardrive is on a 6g SSD. This should be screaming.
Adobe, seriously, live up to your other products standards, they are so good, why does this one just bomb?

Will Premiere Pro CC work OK with Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M?

Will Premiere Pro CC work OK with Nvidia GeForce GTX 765M?

This laptop I am on right vnow has a n nVidai GTX 765M and it works beautifully on Premiere CS6, CC and CC 2014. You do have to add it to the Adobe file "cuda_supported_cards.txt file or simp[ly delete it. I hope you know that you have to be plugged in to the AC line to successfully what to edit with a laptop. Also you can improve the GPU performance if you reset the memory clock on the GPU to 1500 MHz from the default 1000 MHz. It is because nVidia.slows down the clock to conserve battery. If you register on the site you can see my results on our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM) site.

Well, when I start working (should I say try to work with FCPX, activity monitor in the %processor column for FCPX jumps rapidly over 100% and reaches more than 200% ??? What the **** is that ?
200% or more is not strange. Remember that your mac has 4 cores (you say it's 3 months old, so I assume it is a new model), so 200% amounts to using 2 of these 4 cores to the max.
Regarding the question of creating a new admin user: while it sits in the same system, it may help if the problem is caused by some user-specific preferences or settings. Not likely in your case, since you seem to have reinstalled from scratch, but still it is worth a try. It takes 5 minutes and may help pinpoint the problem.

No audio playback of MPEG-2 muxed program streams made with Compressor?

Is anyone else experiencing this?
Any fix? Audio plays in VLC so its not operator error..
Upgraded to QT 7.6.6 (1632) and no longer No have audio playback of MPEG-2 muxed program streams made with Compressor?
This machine played audio out of QT with these files prior to upgrade this afternoon.

I've never run a component conflict test is there a tool for that or is this a command in terminal?
There may still be some "tools" around to help with the process but you still have to run playback tests yourself and evaluate the results. The process is quite simple. You just need to "hide" one or more components, open the QT Player, and play a file to see if it is now working correctly. If it isn't, then continue "hiding" additional components. If the file does play correctly, then you have found a conflict and can start "unhiding" components to determine which one (or combination of components) is causing the problem by removing any "problem" components to an external location such as your desktop. Just remember to close the QT Player after each playback test. This is required (or at least used to be required) for the regeneration a new list of components available for use.
I used the term "hide" above since I simply keep a "Disable" folder handy in my Library QT Component folder for just such tests. Placing a component or set of components into the folder temporarily "hides" it from the QT Player when it next generates a list of the components available for use. Specific strategies vary. I sometimes use use a binary tree approach to hide the components (I.e., "hide" half of the components instead of one at a time.) Unfortunately, I don't know exactly how this works with regard to QT X. So, I would likely run such tests in the QT 7 Player. So far, when everything is working correctly in QT 7 Player, QT X seems to be able to play the same file(s) in QT X via the 32-bit switching process.

Premiere Pro CC & OS X Mavericks Audio Buzzing & Audio Playback Issues

Working on the latest version of Premiere CC version 7.2.1 and MAC OS X 10.9.1. I am experiencing a really loud disturbing buzzing/cutout sound in playback. I have tried changing every audio setting possible on my mac and in the Premiere CC Audio/Playback settings. Sometimes changing the audio hardware or playback preferences fix it, but only for a few minutes. This is beyond a deal breaker for me. We need a fix for this, been dealing with audio issues with Premiere since CS6, nonsense.

Please someone help me with this, im deep in a music video edit and dont know what to do, im working at a snails pace on a really fast machine.

If the problem is limited to audio transitions, then you're probably hitting a bug that was introduced in 7.2: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5945929#5945929. A fix went into 7.2.1. For projects that you worked on in 7.2, I believe you need to clear the cache and, possibly, the preview render files.
Several users have reported that the fix in 7.2.1 did not resolve the issue in all cases.

I don't know what the status is on any bugs that remain in this vein. If all else fails, your best bet may be to revert to 7.1. Unfortunately, that's not as simple as it could be. See the instructions here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5823746#5823746

5.1 Audio issue in Premiere Pro CC

Hello All,
So I have the latest Premiere Pro CC with the most current updates and a Sony HD camera that records videos with 5.1 Dolby Digital sound. When I create a project and import the files using Media Browser, I get the error message: "Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for <file path>", I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit machine, the files are on M2TS format, I imported them from the camera to the computer using PlayMemories Home, the software also copies a M2TSMODD file to the same location. I've seen a lot of people complaining about this issue with CS6 but not CC, I've reinstalled the software twice now, is there anything I can do other than trying to extract the audio with another software and import the audio file? This is really a bummer.

I had this problem this evening 090813 after upgrading my Adobe Cloud Desktop.
I open Pro CC and had the Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for (File name.......... ) Error
Previous CC progs loaded and worked with problem.
I uninstalled Pro CC - Restarted the computer - Re-installed Pro CC.
Now working with no problem.
Hope this helps.
John
