CS4 Premiere Pro Clips Won't Play in Source Monitor/Program Monitor

I can't get clips to play in source monitor/program monitor/preview pane in Pr Pro.  I have spent hours looking through the forums to try and find a fix and I have troubleshot the following.....
1. Codecs are not broken... or seem to be working according to Sherlock
2. Video and audio drivers up to date
3. Unistalled and re-install Pr Pro then updated via updater
Here is the funny thing...
In Encore, OnLocation, and other Suite program the play functionality works just fine....the only one it doesn't is Pr Pro.
Question:
Is the source code to playback video in Pr different then the other suite programs or am I just making a trivial mistake in Pr?
Sorry for the novice question but I am about to give up and have no where to turn.
Hardware Specs
CPU 3.6 GHz
HD 1TB 7200 RPM
RAM 2 MB (is this my issue?)
Video: Open GL

Number of issues here:
1. Your system does not meet minimum requirements.
2. Your CPU, disks, memory are not enough for anything other than DV.
3. What video camera was used with what codec on what OS with which version of PR. etc.
Some suggestions... and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't play imported files even after changing format, etc?

    Camera: Canon Legria HFM41
    Video file format: MTS (1920 x 1080)
    For the past few days I've been trying to understand why my video files won't play in Premiere, I'll import them, and when I press play the audio will work, but the video will play smoothly for only a few seconds then stop, skipping frames/slowing the speed of the video - I've read a lot of these forums on similar issues, then I tried converting the format to avi/mp4 and they still won't play smoothly when importing to Premiere Pro.. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong/how to solve this.. Thank you!

  • Premiere Pro CC14 won't play video in timeline...

    I upgraded to Premiere Pro CC14 when it came out. I've since started a new project that is a mix of stills and video with various FX. Before, everything played fine. Now, I open the project and can scrub through the timeline, but I hit play and nothing happens. The "play" button in the program window switches from the "play" symbol to the "stop" symbol, but nothing happens. The program doesn't freeze, but it just sits there, not doing anything. Even opening the source footage to play back in the source monitor, nothing happens. Otherwise, you can open things and they show up, but nothing plays.
    Even starting a new project from scratch, importing one piece of video, and trying to play it gets the same result.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution?
    I'm working on a MacBookPro Retina, with 16GB of RAM on Mavericks.

    >Before, everything played
    Before what? What changed? Did you update anything?
    I'm Windows, but some saved Mac links that may (or may not) help

  • Premiere Pro CC won't play audio from video file

    I've been trying to edit videos recorded with Bandicam in Premiere Pro CC. The video file itself is fine, when I play it in Windows Media Player it all checks out, but once I get it into a sequence in Premiere Pro CC despite it showing the audio track, and turning the volume to max, there's no sound! How do I get it to pick up the audio that I KNOW is there?

    My Premiere cs6 will not play the time line. I hit space bar and also used the play button pin the Program side and it changes to a square (stop)symbol but the playhead doesn't move. I can get the symbol to change back when I move the playhead with my mouse.

    Hi,
    I suspect something is wrong with the Audio Hardware settings. Do you remember connecting any other audio device to the computer? (Such as headphones or something else)
    If not, try to reset the preferences for Premiere and see if that helps

  • Premiere Pro Timeline Won't Play

    Recently purchased a Dell Precision T5600 workstation - Win7 64bit, 32 GB of RAM, Quadro 4000 (driver ver. 307.45).  CS6 Production Premium.
    Hitting the space bar nor hitting the play button on the program or source monitor will play a video or audio file.  Play icon changes to the square icon but nothing happens.  A week or so ago I had the same issue.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the suite to get it to work.  Now the issue has cropped up again.  Audition and AE seem to work fine.   Only seems to be an issue with Premiere. Any ideas?  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Audio "sub-clips" won't play in source monitor, but will play when cut into a sequence.

    I'm cutting an "audio only" project in Premiere and I came across a strange problem while making sub-clips. The first 6 sub clips made from the same master audio clip were normal, but then something changed, and the rest of them won't play any sound while in the "Source" window, even though while in the window the sub-clip displays a waveform.
    Once edited into a sequence they play normally, but not being able to listen to the sub clips in the source monitor is annoying, and louses up my whole editing routine for this kind of project.
    Any ideas as to why this is happening, or what I might do to fix it?

  • Premiere Pro CC won't read media source timecode?

    We recently switched over some of our editing systems to Premiere Pro CC, but for some reason Premiere Pro CC isn't reading the timecode from our source footage.  It works fine in CS6 and CS5, but on each of the CC systems, even though the timecode preference is set to "Use Media Source" the timecode that is displayed in the project window, the source window and even in the timeline with a timecode window effect added and set to media, the time code that is displayed starts from 0 as though it's set for "generate" or in preferences, "Start From 00:00:00:00." 
    All of our source footage is recorded on XDCam or DVCPro 100 and we've been using Premiere since CS5 without issue.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Can you upload a short clip somewhere for us to take a look at?
    BTW, exactly which version of CC are you on?

  • Premiere Pro CC won't play my Flash files

    In older versions of Premiere (CS6), I was able to play Flash flv files in my movie sequence. I would download the flv files from iStock as comps and play them in the movie as placeholders until I was ready to purchase them. They no longer play in Premiere CC. What happened and how can I get around this without using an old version of Premiere?
    Thanks!!!

    Support for importing and exporting Flash files has been removed. Can't import FLV files

  • Video clips won't play back after capture

    I am a long-time user of Premiere Elements, currently using version 9.0. I am capturing video clips from the same videocamera that I've used in previous versions of PE. My video clips won't play back after I capture them. The clip is in my "media" area, but when I try to play it back, the audio plays but the picture remains frozen on the starting image. What is happening?

    It is a Sony Handycam DCR-HC28, mini DV, using a firewire connection.
    Operating System is Windows XP Pro, Service Pack 3, system specs are SATA 2 RAID 1 with dual 1 TB hard drives. 4 GB RAM. As far as how fast my processor is, I looked on my invoice and it says, "Intel Core2 processor Q6600 (2.4 Ghz, 1066 FSB) with Quad Core technology and 8 MB cache, 4 GB DDR2 SDRAM at 800 MHz.
    I defragmented my hard drive before beginning and have 779 GB or 83 percent free space on hard drive.
    I have not placed my video clips on the timeline yet so don't know if there is a red line on top, indicating it hasn't been rendered. I merely wanted to play back my clip to set "in" and "out" points. This has never happened before in my long history of using Premiere Elements. Would prefer not to have to go back to PE 8, as that was a disaster.

  • Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage?

    Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage? I import my footage into the project like normal. I drag it to the source monitor on the left hand side to set in and out points then I drag it to the time line. The footage drops into the time line with no problem but when I go to play the footage in the time line it plays back on the source monitor and not on the program monitor like it is suppose to. Other times ill drag the clip to the time line and trim it there and it will be fine and show up on the program monitor.  Then ill go try to set a clip to have in and out points (which is suppose to show up in the source monitor) but it shows up in the program monitor. The clip is not even in the time line it should not be on that monitor! I have updated the program to the late update. I have re installed the program numerous times and I have even ran the Adobe Clean up program. Couldn't find much on this problem. Please help thank you! I have a PC. My computer is also way over the recommended minimum specifications to have the program installed on.

    Definitive Answer (I believe): It's all about this setting, "Write XMP ID To Files On Import" - which confirms that Adobe Premiere Pro is deliberately modifying the .mov file: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html#WSE3BD4A43-7022-4fe6-97F5-95313 935347B
    These posts give some background as to why having this setting enabled would be beneficial: one benefit being to be able to skip conforming files by matching the conformed file with the original using the embedded XMP tag :-

    CS4 Premiere Pro hang in a new 64-bit Win7 PC, i7 CPU, 16G Memory .... frustrated
    (video no response, but audio is on)
    I have no idea what the root cause is:
    1. Win 7 vs. XP issue; OR
    2. 32-bit vs. 64-bit; OR
    3. CS4 needs to be upgraded to CS6?
    Need your help, how to fix it?
    Really Appreaciate!

    Dear Ann:
    Thank you for your reply!
    It seems no others know this, I guess your assumption is correct;
    I tested my previous project, they run well.
    If it is clips problem, how can I fix it?
    I downloaded your suggested Media Info, but don't know how it can work yet.
    Thank you so much!

  • Capture problem with trial SW (CS4 Premiere Pro / Canon DM-MV1E,OPTURA in USA)

    Hi,
    I have used this camera earlier with older premiere 6.5 with Canopus DVRaptor-RT firewire. Those files I can not use with CS4 Premiere because Canopus is using their own codec?
    Now I try with CS4 Premiere Pro with motherboard firewire (Asus P5AD2-E Premium).
    Timeline is running in capture window during capture but there is no video and no audio (and no file....). During capture "Capture duration" is 0. When I stop capture there is text "Recorder captures no frames".
    Device control works ok (atleast Rew, Play, Stop, FF).
    Yes I know my camera is old...... Is it so that this camera don't work anymore with this SW?
    Asko

    I am having a similar issue with trial ver. PPR CS4  but with a Panasonic AG DV2000.
    Where did you find the MV1 setting or was that something to do with your cannon settings?
    I have  the trial ver. loaded on a windows 7 64 box.
    I get message to reset my VTR.
    No video in capture window.
    I currently use the same VTR with Premiere 6 with no issue.
    Any ideas ?

  • Windows Vista 32-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit for running CS4 Premiere Pro

         Greetings, I need some advice on whether to upgrade my computer or not!  I am currently running CS4 Premiere Pro (ver 4.2.1) with HD 1080 footage. My computer is a HP d4999z Image maker (Pavillon) using Vista 32-bit OS. It has an AMD 9600 Quad-core processor 2.3 GHz (ADM phenom 64 Nvidia), Ram is 4 GB, Windows Vista Home Prem (service pak2), a Nvidia GEForce 8800GT, creative SB-x-Fi, 3 internal HD and 2 external HD.
         I use PremPro CS4 for video editing of my HD footage. I am a serious amateur, and not a professional. HP says that I can upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate on my current computer and go from 4 GB ram to 8 GB, but 8GB is the max. So my question is... will an upgrade like this (Wind 7/64 and more RAM), give me  significantly faster or better processing? And is Windows 7/64 Ultimate a more stable platform on which to run CS4?
         Eventually, I will go to CS5; but not on this computer.  Probably late next year for the new computer.
         Thanks for any advice.  Jean

    Jean,
    I think that you will find Win7-64 with an increase in RAM will offer a bit more stability and performance gain, though only a 64-bit program will get you a real increase. Whether the "bang for the buck" is enough to justify the move, is another matter. Harm and Bill G. can probably quantify that increase in performance for you, to help with the decision.
    One caveat that I might offer would be the 64-bit drivers currently available. Word on the street indicates that that situation will likely improve with Win7-64 SP1. As you will be using CS4, you should not have the issue with Effects, CODEC's, etc., being 32-bit, even if you have a 64-bit OS.
    Good luck, and expect a couple of folk to have some real-world numbers for you, to help you make the final decision.
