Computer Freezes during Playback, Render and Scrubbing in Premiere Pro CS5.5

CPU - Intel i7 980 3.33GHz
RAM - 12GB (6 x 2GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600
PSU - 850watt Corsair
Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
C: Drive - 600GB Velociraptor (with only program files stored on the drive)
OS - Windows Ultimate 7, 64-bit, Service Pack 1 (up to date)
Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (with all updates)
My problem occurs only in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and not with any other Adobe programs, including After Effects. Playback, scrubbing, or rendering in my Premiere Pro timeline causes the computer to freeze. When it freezes I cannot move the mouse, I cannot use the keyboard, there is no automatic shutdown, and there is no BSOD. The computer just freezes, forever, and needs to be shutdown manually.
This problem began a few weeks ago, only happening occassionaly. Recently the problem has escalated to the point that I cannot use Premiere Pro CS5.5 for more than 30 seconds before it freezes.
I have several different Premiere Pro projects saved to a 1TB WD Black Caviar HDD. In some of the projects I am using Cineform converted .mov files and in others I am using the raw(compressed) footage directly from a Canon DSLR. This dedicated harddrive has 60% free space.
Mercury PLayback Acceleration is enabled, and I have been successfully using Premiere and the rest of the creative suite intensively since October 2011 with absolutely NO problems. I cannot remember the system ever crashing once during this time period, until now, which is remarkable. All software on my computer is legitimate, and there are no third party codecs installed.
What can I do to fix this problem? All help is extremely appreciated. THANK-YOU!
Drew Norton

Thank you, Harm I will do this. In response to the video card being a possible cause of the problem, I moved forward and downloaded Furmark to test it. When running Furmark the program crashes. It gets going on the test and crashes, and apparently according to other websites this means my graphics card is not running at capacity. Do any of you have experience with this?
If it is as clean cut as a busted graphics card I would be very excited to know.

My video won't "Render and Replace" in Premiere Pro from linked footage in After Effects

I am using Premiere Pro CC 2014 and After Effects CC 2014. I can't get the video to "Render and Replace" in Premiere Pro after editing the original in After Effects. It just freezes on "Analyzing."
In order to see the footage in real time I have to export it to an mp4 then replace the linked footage. The footage is 18 minutes long and it takes more than 5 hours to export it. After I edit the exported version, I have to export it again, which is another 5 hours. This is taking a really long time. I would rather edit the "Rendered" version What am I doing wrong?
Russell

is this just a single clip, or you have the entire 18min loaded in AE as comp? does this happen with new projects and all footage or just some? can you render and replace regular clips that aren't AE comps? if its just a few clips of the 18min project, can you render previews in premiere? if its just a few clips, could also render them out in AE and swap them out in premiere instead of using render and replace... or maybe temporarily disable the ae effects/layers while editing in premiere and then turn them back on when ready to export final render.

Red video glitch at render and export in Premiere Pro CS6.

I keep on experiencing red screen glitches in my videos while viewing after render and when exported into any format. After replacing the clip with another, the same problem appears at the exact same time as before. The only way to get rid of the glitch is to build a completely new project. I have attached a picture of the glitch (the JPEG is green for some reason).
Any solutions?

Thank you for fast answer.
my version is 6.0.5. ( 001 (MC: 264587))
i use more kinds of cameras, but each provide different video file type.
this problem is with HC-V700 Panasonic, which is creating the AVCHD files.
i am talking about working video window, where you see the movie you cut and edit! (not the green/blue/red bar in timeline)
(after finishing the rendering, sometimes without it), and in case when i see it red, it is exported as well as RED screen .
and - on the other side : i can play such movie file, by double clicking on it, (from project files list, or from timeline ) where new window appears for playing that file.
thank you for your interest

Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

Premiere Pro CS5 AND/OR After Effects ?

Hi guys,
I am quite new, I have only done one videoproject and that was in Premiere Pro CS4. Now I got a new machine and have both Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects. I have started learning AE from some videos and it is quite impressing what you can do there. So I hope I can use AE to improve my videos.
My question is, shall I do the project in PPCS5 and then connect to AE for making special effects on clips or shall I do the whole project in After Effects ?
If I choose AE for the project, will I miss some functions from Premiere Pro?
Many thanks in advance !
Sven

Thanks for that.
I also posted the same question in the After Effects Forum and got some good answers there. I got this link that is very helpful.

So now I hope I am on track again!
Thanks again.

You put me on track, expecially with the link!
From beginning I am just taking care of old videos that noone look at because not edited so most of the time just crap.
I want to edit them, try to improve color and sharpness but also add some funny elements so they are more interesting to watch.
I have 30 videos from my daughter, each 1 hour and 8 of my own (really crap) and 8 VHS from a friend. That is just to start with.
Start Adobe Premiere Pro from within After Effects and capture footage for use in After Effects. (See Use Adobe Premiere Pro for capture (Production Premium and Master Collection only).)
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to work with After Effects compositions in Adobe Premiere Pro without first rendering them. A dynamically linked composition appears as a clip in Adobe Premiere Pro.
Use Adobe Dynamic Link to work with Adobe Premiere Pro sequences in After Effects without first rendering them. A dynamically linked sequence appears as a footage item in After Effects.
Start After Effects from within Premiere Pro and create a new composition with settings that match the settings of your Premiere Pro project.
Select a set of clips in Adobe Premiere Pro and convert them to a composition in After Effects. "
So with a testvideo I will start using these 5 different methods so I learn when to use which one!
And I also have 4-5 videolessons to watch.
Thanks again!
I probably be back soon with more questions!

HD DVR's Freezes during Playback

I have 2 HD DVR boxes. Lately each box seems to "freeze" during playback of the various programs I have recorded. I am not able to fast forward or rewind the program. If I stop the playback and try to view the program from the beginning, the video again freezes at the same point. It is almost like there is a corrupt file for that area of the program. Is there any way to remedy this situation? It seems to be happening more and more on both set top boxes. Thanks!

I have the same problem on a QIP6416 HD DVR. In the past 2 weeks 3 different recorded programs have frozen during playback and cannot skip or fast forward beyond the frozen point. I can delete the frozen program, but problem has re-occurred several times in the last 3 weeks while other recordings are OK. It does feel like a corrupt file, or bad disk blocks on the DVR, or messed up file structure system that a chkdsk in a Windows environment would fix. Is there are any solution to resolve this problem?

Satellite A660 freezes during playing games and recovery

I have problem with my Toshiba Satellite A660. Sometimes when I play games it freezes and I can't even move the pointer I all freeze then I have to shut it down with force.
One time it freezes during a recovery and that what make me worried about it would be a high (amount of money) problem.
I tried to take it to a what it call itself a Toshiba-service company and they told me that the problem is solved but it didn't.
So I hope any would help me Im in a bad situation here.

Hello
I can also understand you dude and it must be a hardware malfunction if recovery installation from Toshiba recovery disk doesnt work. I mean usually this shouldnt be a problem because this image is pretestd by Toshiba and shouldnt make any problems.
In your situation I would talk with the service company again. You can ask what they did exactly and if they can check the unit again because you problems with .
Just explain the situation a little bit.
As Mike30 wrote, if you play games use high performance power plan and put the notebook on a clean desk to ensure the notebook is getting enough air and the fan will not be blocked.

MacBook Pro freezes during start up and safe boot

MacBook Pro freezes during start up and will not start in safe boot in recovery, it goes back to apple screen with spinning gear

Stinkster,
does your MacBook Pro have a removable battery? If so, then it originally came with grey installation DVDs. If it doesn’t have a removable battery, look on the bottom of your MacBook Pro for its serial number (it’s etched there in tiny print). If its serial number has eleven characters, write down the last three of them; if it has twelve, write down the last four. Include the three or four characters in your reply; they can determine which model MacBook Pro you have, and the model will determine whether it originally came with grey installation DVDs or not.
If your MacBook Pro did originally come with grey installation DVDs, then you’re going to need to find them (or buy a replacement pair from Apple or iFixit) to reïnstall Mac OS X on your current hard drive, or to install it on a replacement hard drive.

Premiere Pro CS5 Playback and Performance Issues

I upgraded (2) separate editing work stations to CS5 from CS4 about a month ago. I moved from 4 to 5 to try and get rid of some problems which both work stations were encountering.
The problems since the upgrade are similiar: playback from timeline has intermittent audio drop out and video going to black during playback, (new one)-video locked up but audio kept playing-system hung and had to be rebooted.
Also, when clicking around on the timeline or scrubbing the timeline, Premiere crashes.
This type of performance on playout or timeline usage is consistent on both machines which have indentical setups and builds. None of this happens all the time but happens enough to causes problems with workflow. We edit on the work stations, dub files to playback system for air, and use a shared server to move files back and forth as needed but files are always stored locally instead of using straight from server.
These machines are:
Premiere Pro CS5.02
OS WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
12 GB Ram, DDR3-1333 (6-2GB modules)
CPU Intel Xeon Quad Core [email protected] GHZ, 2 processors, 8 MB Cache
500 GB SATA 2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)...309 GB of space avail
(3) 1 TB SATA 2 hard drives, 7200RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 STorage) 2.16 TB of space avail
Nvidia GE Force 9800 GT Graphics card, DUAL DVI, 1 GB
REaltek High Def Audio, Drivers 6.0.1.5953
(1) monitor in use
output of system runs to ADVC-700 breakout box to feed playback system
I have all of my software installed on C: (309 GB of 500 GB avail)
I have all of my videos files stored on D: (Raid Storage with 2.16 TB of 3 TB avail)
The only changes I've made since installing CS5 would be to change the auto save from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Don't know if an auto save would cause an issue on playback as I've noted above.
I'm not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination but I can follow directions if given for testing/eval.

Do the PPBM5 Benchmark and send the results to me by PM, in addition to sending the results to Bill as indicated. I'll have a look at what might be going on here.

As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag). Also Premiere Pro CS5, playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion.

I'm wondering if it is just a problem with the Mac USB drivers maybe not supporting USB 2 ? (Because I have also installed Window 7 on this same MacBookPro and tested the same software "Zbrush and Premiere Pro" And they both work perfectly on the Bootcamp Windows 7 install, and so its using the same hardware so it has to be the drivers right ?)
Any help would be great, Thanks
