CS4 Program Monitor Problem after 4.2

I just recently upgraded Premiere Pro to 4.2 and lo and behold I have some problems.
Video in the source monitor looks fine, however the program monitor has almost a ghosting effect on anything with movement.
I've updated drivers, re-installed, tried changing how the video is interpreted. But alas, nothing has fixed it. Everything use to work fine wtih 4.1.
Here is a screen cap with the source monitor on the left, and the program monitor on the right.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

I think Colin is right. Try right-clicking on the footage and uncheck "Frame Blend" and see if that helps.
Also, if I were you I would use the XDCAM EX 30P preset for that footage - you might find better results. You could also use Adobe Media Encoder to convert the footage to P2 to make the editing easier...I hear that footage can be tough to edit.

Program Monitor Problems

I'm new to CS4 & NLE altogether. I am working w/RED source footage on an iMac; have the RED Codec; set res to half.
THE PROBLEM: Tho I have set the view in the Prog. Monitor to "fit," it changes with every clip I bring into the timeline. Sometimes it fits, other times it shows up a tiny rectangle with a black pasteboard around it, even tho the setting is still "fit." Or the rectangle will be larger but still framed in black. I have discovered resizing the image, but it often goes back to another size. This is ungodly frustrating. Help!

Can't say I've ever seen the behaviour where a timeline clip affects the view magnification of the Program monitor.
Care to post say 1 or 2 seconds of RAW footage so we can try it in our versions? If you don't have a file-drop, I'm happy to loan mine.

CS4 Program monitor slow to respond

I'm using Premiere CS4 version 4.0. I've got about 25 minutes of material in the timeline. The problem is that when I click the cursor to a different position in the timeline, or press play, or shuttle in the Program monitor, I have to wait about 2 seconds before the picture starts moving. Then playback is fine. In the Source monitor, the reaction is immediate.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening, and what can be done about it? It's quite annoying to have to wait all the time.
Thanks in advance!

Any suggestions greatly appreciated!

Program Monitor freezes after updating to 5.5.2

Now, whenever I play a sequence, the program monitor freezes during playback. It usually happens at a cut, but not always the same cut, it is random. The monitor just freezes, but the sound and CTI keep on going. This happens repeatedly.
Mac Pro
OSX 10.7.2

Same problem. 5.5.1 was very stable with a few bugs. All I changed was updaing to 5.5.2 and WAMO my system is now unusable. I've tried updating the NVIDIA driver to 280.26 and thing were worse. Uninstalled PP5.5 Windows and reinistalled from DVD then updated 5.5.1 then updated 5.5.2. Now PP5.5 won't even open crashing halfway through loading. Will try ty unistall everythig and try a different GPU driver.

HELP : T500, External LCD monitor problems, after upgrading GMA4500MHD display driver!

I have upgraded my display driver for GMA 4500MHD from version 7.15.10 to version 8.15.10.1968 (Vista 32bit).
After the installation and rebooting of the T500, my brand new Samsung SyncMaster2233BW cannot show correct display image.
Only image I can see is white screen with few blue shapes. I'm using VGA output for connection. I have tested the monitor by connecting to my other laptop (Dell D620) and everything works fine.
Can somebody help with this strange problem? How can I make my external monitor work again with
T500? Is it possible to find and download display driver version 7.15.10.xxxx somewhere and revert back?
T500 configuration: 15", 3GBRAM, 320GB HDD, Vista 32bit (Home Premium, SP2)
HELP, HELP, HELP

Hi sehu,
Can't you just ask Windows to roll back to previous installed driver? Additionally, have you tried going back to the point where previous version of driver was installed through Windows System restore?
Also check in c:\swtools\drivers\video folder to see whether or not the desired driver resides there.
Hope it helps.

Monitor Problem after POST

hi,
I booted my newly built pc last night for the first time.
It booted and made it to post with a good screen view of the bios.I began checking the bios to make any setting like changing from a pci to agp card etc.
After saving the changes and rebooting,the screen image started to get problems
i.e,some letters were getting fuzzy or flashing.I rebooted again and now have
an unreadable screen.
I've switched monitors,tried a pci video card,reset cmos using the jabt and battery
removal method,removed any addon usb ports,swithed the mouse from usb to ps2.
I also checked the voltage at the video card and both mb connectors.
I'm at a loss as to what is happening and need your help.
Thanks
Glenn

OK,I was able to get the 6800 ultra into my e-machine and rearranged some molex connectors to get it some power.As it turns out,the card gives me the same
lousy screen as on the msi motherboard.
I decided to pick up a low end gforce mx4000 from the local Circuit City and
I'm now using on my new machine with a picture purfect monitor resolution.
Thanks for your help.
I guess its time to load Windows now.

External monitor problem after Lion upgrade

Hi,
I have a 20" iMac which has a screen resolution of 1680x1050(ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB). I have been using an additional 168x1050 monitor(Dell 2009W) in dual screen mode. This was working fine with Leopard, Snow Leopard, but it does not work after I upgraded to Lion. The screen appears to look fine for a few seconds then blanks out for a second and repeats. The only way I can use my extra monitor is by reducing the resolution to 1360x768.
Does anyone know of a fix or if apple is working on a fix. I called apple support, but all of their suggestion (fix disk permisions, reset PRam) did not help.
Thanks for any help.

Similar problem here with a 15" MacBook Pro purchased in late 2009. Connected to a new Dell ST2210 21.5" display via a DVI cable and Apple's mini display port to single link dvi adapter. The cable is dual link but seems to work fine the majority of the time.
When I wake my mac from sleep 1 time out of 3 I see black and white static on my external screen that only goes away when I unplug the screen or power it up and down.
I've tested another older MacBook Pro with the screen and everything works fine and when I connect with a different dvi cable I get the same issue.
When I called Apple support, they said it was a software issue and directed me to remove some .plist files in my library. I did what they said on the phone and it seemed to work for maybe 6 sleep cycles but the issue came back again. Since then I've reset the VRAM following their directions in a support article on the subject of external display static. (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377)
Does anyone know of a way to fix this or if Apple is actually listening? VGA works fine but I hate the quality of VGA compared to DVI. Should I look into getting an mini display port to dvi adapter from someone other than Apple?
It's annoying to have purchased a perfectly Mac compatible monitor which you really need, just to discover that Apple is having trouble with their mini display port...
Here's another guy with a similar issue and the same monitor (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/peripherals/f/3529/t/19330464.aspx#1 9691738). However, from the research I've done, his conclusion about it being the monitor seems to be false, especially with all the complaints here about similar issues regardless of display model.
I need an answer that does not include going back to VGA. What are your suggestions? I do have HDMI but would rather not shell out the money for a cable and adapter...

External monitor problems after update

Hello,
I'm having some difficulties with my external monitor. I'm using a Phillips 22pfl4505d f7 and the Mini Display Port to VGA adapter. My Mac is a Mid-2009 Macbook 13" Unibody 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Now, ever since I updated to Lion I've been having some issues. Sometimes (this isn't all the time) when I try to use my monitor, I keep getting a message on my monitor screen "Please change source resolution." When I cycle through all the resolutions offered by system preferences, the only one that works is the 640x480 option. Now I mentioned that this doesn't happen all the time, like yesterday everything worked just fine, but when I went to use it today, I keep getting that message. I updated to Lion last week, and previously to Lion I never got this message and everything worked just fine all the time. I took a peek at Console (not that I really know what I'm looking for) and kept seeing this error message "8/23/11 6:36:59.211 PM Console: kCGErrorIllegalArgument: CGSGetDisplayBounds: Invalid display 0x43000001" Any ideas about what I should do?
Thanks
G

Sorry please forgive me, I'm so exhausted I posted this in MacBook instead of MacBook Pro, I'll try to move it but if I can't I'll try to copy it and post in MacBook Pro, regardless I think there is a problem with the .11 update.
Thanks, C

Extended monitor problem after upgrade from Snow Leopard

Upon upgrading Mac Pro (09) from Snow Leopard, I can only get a black screen on my extended desktop monitor. I can see the mouse cursor, but nothing else. I am not using Full Screen. Any suggestions? The extended monitor is a SyncMaster 943. thanks.

After reading about kernel panics on this machine, I should also report that the MacPro has two Nvidia GT120's. I have not upgraded the driver manually and have not had a kernel panic (yet). Just the black screen on actually two extended desktop monitors.

Program Monitor - I'm not seeing whole clip when playing back

I'm real worried! Having spent days of my life importing video and editing it - and then trying to fix my problem of only seeing a part of the playing-back clip in the program monitor which led me onto your site. I've spent hours looking at your posts (and indeed Adobe help pages) trying to solve this and clearly (I think!) my original sequence settings have been wrong. Maybe I can come back to that because I'm really not sure how to set these correctly. My initial question please, if I complete my editing and then export this file, will I still only see part of the clips in the final version, or will I see the whole of the original movie clip?
Some information:
- Windows 7
- Premiere Pro CS4
- Program Monitor setting is "Fit"
- 16:9 aspect ratio
- PAL (based in the UK)
- Sony HD camcorder - SR12E
- 1920 x 1080i HD
Phew, hope that's enough information for you to 'kick start' me!
Thank you.
Regards, Doreen.

Would you also be able to tell me if the Sequence Preset below is my correct preset for the future. Thanks.
- AVCHD
- 1080i
- AVCHD 1080i30 60i (Amamorphic)
Oh, it's like a new language!

PPro CS4: Problem with program monitor widescreen video

Hi Guys
I shot my video in 16:9 aspect ration. I created a new project with "widescreen 48KHz DV-PAL" in PPro and I was ready to go.
I imported the video in avi format and all was OK. Now, I opened my first avi video file from the project panel in the source monitor: the video aspect ratio was still OK.
Now, I dragged the video from the source monitor to the sequence and the video aspect ratio was OK in the program (as far a I remember), i.e. the video in the source monitor was the same as in the program monitor. I then inserted a short mpg video in the project panel > source monitor > sequence. Then I realised the mpg aspect ratio was not the same as my avi video asoect ratio, so I decided to take out the mpg file from the whole project altogether.
Now I'm left with a problem: the video aspect ratio in the program monitor is stuffed up... Instead of having black bars only above and below the video as in the source monitor, I now have extra black bars on the left and right of the video!
If I already did some editing for an hour or so & realised this problem then, it would have been worse. I'm happy that I picked it up in the first 5 monutes of editing.
I have attached a screen print of this problem - please help me guys on how fix the video in the program monitor.
Many thanks in advance.
Walter

Thanks Harm & Jim
Hmmm... so this means that the camcoders (I shot using a camcoder) cannot shoot in REAL 16:9? Even if I change the aspect ratio on my camera to be 16:9, the actual shooting is in fact 4:3. This is interesting...
Just a matter of interest, what sort of video cameras can shoot in real 16:9?
OK, I created a new project in standard 4:3 DV-PAL preset and imported my old PPro project file and the video in the program monitor much, much better.
You know that's what I love about PPro: one can import a PPro project into another PPro project!
Also, that's what I love these Adobe forums - you guys are really helpful. I wish the Ruby on Rails forums were this good as well. Anyway, thanks to all you guys!

I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
Here's how to do both:
Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop. Maybe you don't want that.
You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

Program monitor constantly freezing/stalling when playing dynamically linked After Effects comps

I'm having program monitor issues when I try to play dynamically linked After Effects comps from my Premiere timeline. I realize it's expected to have jerky playback since After Effects comps are memory and CPU intense, but it doesn't seem normal for these things to happen:
Sometimes during playback, the program monitor completely freezes while audio continues to play and the CTI continues to move along timeline. When this happens, there's no way to stop the playback at all using mouse or keyboard... so I'm forced to just quit Premiere and re-open project.
Program monitor can also freeze when I place the CTI on top of the After Effects comp. Sometimes if I wait a minute, the screen could update and eventually display the After Effects comp.
I'm unable to render effects on the Premiere timeline because it just hangs at "Rendering frame 0" and never advances forward.
There's nothing special about the After Effects comp I'm linked to... it could just be regular text that I animated using ease keyframes and motion blur.
I originally thought it was related to GPU settings but it doesn't make a difference if I set After Effects to use CPU instead of GPU or set Premiere's Mercury Playback engine to software, CUDA, or openGL. I even have the latest CUDA drivers installed on my Mac. But I must mention that this issue got significanly worst after updating to OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Here's my system details:
OSX 10.9 Mavericks
Premiere 7.0.1 (105)
After Effects 12.0.1.7 (I installed the OS X Mavericks crash update fix)
The most prevalent error messages displayed in the OSX console is:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC[402]: dynamic_cast error 1: Both of the following type_info's should have public visibility. At least one of them is hidden. N5dvaui2ui8MessageTIKNS0_7UI_NodeEEE, N5dvaui8controls23UI_PictureSupplyMessageE.
Here's a few that are less common:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC[402]: [PremiereCocoaMacApplication handleMenuCommand:1633841013 from <DVAMacMenuItem: 0x6100002f8300 About Premiere Pro>]
After Effects[377]: -[NSMenu menuID]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x600000077080
If anybody has any ideas or suggestions, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
-Pete

I think I found the problem... OSX Mavericks introduced a power saving feature called App Nap that basically slows down an app that appears to be doing nothing or is minimized in the background.
So essentually when I try to display an After Effects dynamically linked comp via my Premiere timeline, it freezes because OSX put After Effects to sleep.
To fix this, I had to disable the App Nap feature on After Effects. Now everything is performing back at pre-Mavericks levels (which is about 10% stalling playback issues vs 90% stalling). I also noticed that all of the console errors went away.
To disable App Nap in OSX...
Go to your Applications folder
Expand the After Effects CC folder
Right-click on "Adobe After Effects CC.app" and select Get Info
Add a checkmark beside "Prevent App Nap"
Restart the application
I also did this with all my Adobe apps just to be safe.
Hope this helps
-Pete

Source and Program Monitor not working after October CC 2014 Update

I updated to the October 2014 Replace of Premiere Pro and since then I have had major issues with the Source and Program monitors.
I can select a clip from the media browser and have it appear in the source monitor - click play. The clip will play for a bit and the picture will stop, but the audio will keep going. After a few seconds the source monitor will just display a red screen and the audio will keep going. The same things happens in the program monitor (different clips that worked before the October 2014 update) will start displaying the yellow media pending screen - and then go to red after a few seconds. Again - this is a mutli-camera sequence that worked before the October 2014 update.
I am pretty much dead in the water at this point. And yes, I have rebooted, changed the Mercury play back engine from hardware to software. Nothing seems to correct the issue.

I have had similar problems. In fact playback is so sluggish it is unworkable.
In addition Audio in nested sequences doesn't play back, and when it does it is intermittent. Totally unworkable!
