Encoding and playback problem HD files

Hi all,
Currently, I'm using a new HD camcorder and have no problem with importing and playing these files is premiere cs4 pro. However, when I'm using six video track at the same time I experience some playback problems. After rendering, the video's play, but not smooth, they skip frames and playing a few frames back. In other words, it seems that the video playback stutters. The problem still excists when I encode the project to any file (mpeg2-blu ray, avi, etc). When using two video tracks (with two HD video) this problem is not present, even when these video's are in slowmotion. Installing the new update (4.2) did not solve the problem.
Specs of my system:
Quad core Q6600 @3.0GHz (overclocked)
8gb RAM
>200gb free disk space
windows 7, 64-bit
Does anyone have some suggestions to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jeffrey

Harm,
Sorry for not responing for a few days, but I runned the benchmark you'll send me. The main results (dee details attached file):
53,6, secs Total Benchmark Time
6,4, secs AVI Encoding Time
14,2, secs MPEG Elapsed Time
33, secs Rendering Time
Since the potential problem is my hard disk, inaddition, I runned HDtune (hopefully it will help pinpionting the problem):
disk1: avarage transfer rate: 94MB/s, acces time 13.8ms, burst rate 185MB/s
disk2: avarage transfer rate: 85MB/s, acces time 14ms, burst rate 157MB/s
disk3: avarage transfer rate: 73MB/s, acces time 13.9ms, burst rate 183MB/s
Analyzing these results, could the current hard disk configuration cause the problem I have, or is my system to slow anyway to edit AVCHD material?
If the hard disk configuration is the problem, could it be solved by applying your suggestion by removing all partitions? Since, I'm not looking forward of removing all partions(re-installing windows (dual boot win7 and vista), shifting a huge amount of data, etc), but if it would help I will do it.
Thanks inadvance,

HD DVD encoding and playback problem

Hello,
we are running into a problem with some HD dvd authoring lately. We are using 1920x1080 23.98fps film based source material and encode it for HD DVD use with compressor. Like it says in the documentation we are using the hd dvd presets and just adjust the output to 720P for an H.264 encode. Apparently since the last upgrade to DVD studio 4.2 it is now possible to encode progressive h.264 with a framerate of 23.98 fps. Well as i said we encode the footage with compressor, import it into DVDSP 4.2 and include it into our project. Everything works fine until we put it into our DVD player (Toshiba HD-A20). The menus and everything works and looks great, but when we are playing the 720P 23.98fps H.264 clips we get a way too fast playing clip, basically as if it is trying to play it at 29.97 fps. Does anyone else run into that problem? First we thought it is the player, but then we tried playing the disc in our Macpro and the same problem. 1920x1080 works great with Mpeg2 29,97fps compression, even though, because we have film based 23.98fps source material it seems to stutter slightly. I wonder if we need to include 2:3 pulldown in order for the player to remove it properly. Any help would be great.
Thanks,

DVDSP HD framerate and playback problem

My HD DVD project has assets encoded at H.264 1280x720 and 23.976fps. The framerate in the Asset window reads 23.976, but the inspector window claims a frame rate of 59.94 for the asset. Can I force the interpretation to be 23.976?
I am assuming this is why on playback I get steppiness, like the video can't keep up with the audio. I don't have playback issues in simulation mode, just in the final burn of the HD DVD.

Encode and broadcast from video file

Hi guys, sorry if this has been asked before I did some quick searches and didn't find anything.
Is there any way to use a static video file as supposed to a camera as the source for the flash media live encoder? This is for the production office I work at - a lot of the videos we make take a long time to encode to flv so it would be great if we could broadcast a video as it is being encoded.
Thanks in advance.

I use the Black Media Intensity Pro Pcie capture card and a Panasonic HDC-SD10 cam. The Black Magic card show up in FMLE so I can play back video from the cam. In fact even my cheap Easycap USB capturecard works to capture my cam, though it does´nt give the same quality as the BM card but still pretty ok.

Mobile and Devices: iPhone 5 and Playback Problems

I'm using clips from my iPhone 5 and importing them into Adobe and I am not sure which setting under Mobile and Devices to choose at the beginning when I open my new project? The first or the second? Also whether I pick the first or second option after I import the clip once I drag both the audio and video file into my timeline my clip won't play in my timeline and when I press play nothing happens and the screen just stays with the thumbnail or beginning of the video and the "box" or stop icon appears so it won't allow you to click play, my clip just won't play when I've dragged it into my timeline. Is it because I didn't choose the correct setting under Mobile and Devices? When I drag the clip into the timeline it says this clip doesn't match the sequence you choose and I change the settings to match the video for the format that it's in, but the clip simply won't play... I don't understand.

ITunes 7 sound and playback problems

I downloaded iTunes 7 today and when I went to play a track I recieved hidious distortion from every track in my library. I have checked my speaker volume, system volume, iTunes volume and played other media players to see if the same problem came up with them and it did not. I also had iTunes running moments before I downloaded 7 with no problems so its definately 7 related. I have made sure the the equalizer in 7 is turned off and checked each and every setting to see if anything is messing it up and have not found anything. I have reintalled the software twice now as well. I run a Audigy 2 ZS and assume my drivers are up to date if not a fairly recent version.
I should also mention that I run Windows XP 64-bit and have all the Windows updates up to date. One thing I noticed is that the Music Store icons next to each song are only appearing when I have the song highlighted which may indicate some bugs as I know the arrows use to be next to each item in the window in the iTunes versions prior. I bring that up obviously because perhaps 7 isn't running well on XP-64 yet.
Any ideas on where I should start to troubleshoot this? The best description for the sound is a huge distortion filter where you can kind of make out the song behind layers of static and hiss. Its definately something to do with the software or its interation with my hardware and not nessicarly any volume settings that I can find.

Me too.... Just upgraded to iTunes V7. Now I cannot play anything from within iTunes. When playing a song, it is just garbled. You can hear the song enough to tell what it is. But it is severly distorted. More of a "repeating warbling" type sound. Like a scratched record that is playing the same section over a few times before moving on. Also, when I double click a song to play, it takes 12-15 seconds before any sound at all comes out.
In my other players, like Windows media, songs play just fine. All other audio seems OK. Just now cannot play anything in iTunes V7.
I have had iTunes since at least version 4 or 5, and upgraded everytime a new version came out. Each time with no issues until now.
Using Windows XP, SP2
2 Gig RAM
2 Terabytes Data storage
AMD 4800 Dual processor
Sound Card - Creative Emu 1212
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks...

Best video format to encode for playback on iBook G4 1.2GHz?

I have been scratching my head for a week on this. What is the best video format that is highest quality and will playback smoothly on my iBook g4 and my iPhone 4? It has 1.25GB of RAM and I upgraded the HD to a WD 250GB 5400 RPM IDE drive 2 years ago and it's running dual boot Leopard 10.5.8 and Tiger 10.4.11 (keeping Tiger for Classic Mode).
I have a very large HD video collection consisting of 720p HD DVDs and 1080p Bluray discs that I have already spent a year to convert to MKV and MP4 files for storage on my media server. They have all been ripped and encoded with H264 using Handbrake. The average 720p movie is about 4.5GB and the average 1080p movies run about 8GB. I have over 100 movies stored on my media server and they playback fine on all my computers. They work fine on all my Windows 7 systems, they even play fine on my G5 2.0GHz DC late 2005 Powermac with 8.5GB Ram and the NVidia 7800GT.
Most of my 720p files can be reduced in size and or quality to 1-2GB and are playable on my iPhone 4, iPad 2 and even my little Acer Aspire One netbook in m4v or mp4 format.
I know my iBook is out of date, but no matter what compression method I have tried, the only thing it can play is MPEG-2 encoded media. And it cannot handle any h264 video I make, even at 480p settings using the simple profile. Since MPEG-2 takes 4-8GB per movie, this is a huge waste of HD space. And if I encode my movies like the old iPod video size, it looks like crap in full screen. I really want to store about 20 movies on this iBook for playback when I travel since I have 2 extra batteries. I need to movies to playback on the iBook and be able to transfer them to my iPhone 4 or iPad at any time.
Is there any method for getting 480p to encode and playback well on this iBook without making it look like crap or using the old DivX avi standard? If I have to reduce all my movies for playback on the iBook, I don't want to go lower than 480p because I want the same conversions to work on my iPhone 4 as well with decent quality. It is redundant to keep making copies of each movie for each device. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to take my little netbook around with me because the screen is too small and there is no opticle drive.
If anyone has any ideas, please post which Handbrake profile or other that can work... or let me know if my iBook is just garbage now. Thanks!

I am not asking you how to rip a DVD. I am asking how to convert any video file for decent playback on my iBook or iPhone!
This feature is available in iTunes so you can convert your DVDs to iPod playable formats. But when iTunes or Handbrake (or even Apple Compressor) convert anything, even my own videos made with Final Cut and iMovie, they will play on any iDevice other than my iBook unless I use the lowest most terrible video format.
I am just trying to figure out the proper video format the iBook can play. I am not ripping the DVD's right now... did that years ago anyways (and half of the videos I want to convert I made with iMovie during my travels in China and Hong Kong... I am just trying to play movies I already own on an older iDevice... my iBook. Converting purchased videos and home made videos is in no way illegal.
You misunderstand what I am asking. I am not trying to break digital copyright. If this is breaking digital copyright, then why does iTunes allow me to convert the movies for my iPhone 4 in the first place? You are telling me if I didn't purchase the movie from Apple I cannot watch it on my iPhone and iBook? That is not right.
I just want to know what the proper video playback requirements are for the iBook hardware. Plain and simple. If it is illegal in any way to tell me how to do it, just tell me what video my iBook supports. Apple tells me what video my iPhone supports ie. 1280x720p @ 29fps.... blah blah blah. Seems so far the iBook can only play a DVD MPEG-2 stream and no advanced codecs like h263 or h264. I just want to know what format the iBook can handle.
I have exported movies from iTunes and of my time in Hong Kong from iMovie and I cannot get them to play on the iBook at all if they are even 480p. So I just need to know what the max video playback is. If it can only play 320x240 or something, it is completely useless. I remember years ago when I bought the iBook, it did play the sample h263 and h264 videos that Apple had on their website (some of them 480p-720p)... but today it seems it can't play anything but 320x240 or less without getting locked up. I know the HD video requirements are G5 or higher... but we are talking DVD size cannot play in h264 mp4 formats, only MPEG-2 formats. This makes no sense? So I need to know the exact maximum resolution, framerate and codec this iBook 1.2 GHz can handle.
Don't tell my watching movies on my iBook, even the ones I made is illegal.

H264 encoding settings - problems with FLV/F4V conversions and playback... HELP!!!

I do a lot of LIVE ENCODING and have been struggling with FMLE. I own the Adobe Creative Suite of applications and am pretty familiar with working with compatible/required formats, etc.
We have been primarily using VP6/mp3 for encoding. Most of our work is SD. We also always seem to have trouble when trying to encode the FLV file to another format, audio always seem to be out of sync, but sometimes it works...
Do you know why that would be regarding the FLV audio falling off sync when encoding to another format, such as MOV? Also, when we try to play back the FLV, the audio sounds garbled up and only plays well in Adobe Media Player.
I keep hearing H264 encoding will provide better video, but I just can't get that to work. Also, why is it that my entire CS4 suite of applications can't read or playback the F4V file- that's unacceptable from Adobe, just a big huge pain the butt... I've had to buy several cheapie applications to try and read F4V files and try to convert it, except that converting F4Vs seems to be a hit-or-miss.
What should I be using to playback and convert F4Vs? I also heard changing the extension to MP4 works, but I haven't seen that work, not even once. The cheap video conversion apps I have that read F4Vs are: FFMPEGX and Wondershare (Youtube). Sometimes they open F4V, but not most of the time...
I am using a super fast new Macbook Pro i7, 8GB ram (not the thunderbolt/usb3), CPU always runs smoothly and effectively.
Also, I always use the Canopus ADVC-110 as my transcoder. I do both video via Firewire IN or Composite IN, then Firewire OUT into the Mac encoder. FMLE sees it ok, but I wonder if this device might be my problem.
VP6 settings are as follows:
VP6 video / MP3 audio
300 to 500k video
30 fps
640x480 in/out
44100hz audio
56k audio
We want to start using H264 encoding settings, but in my experience trying it out, the output file is ALWAYS PROBLEMATIC. Also, when testing a live stream, the audio seems to fall off sync with the video.
I am looking for your recommendations on the H264 settings I should try. Most of my events are simple meetings with 1 to 5 speakers, mostly talking heads. We rarely encode high motion video, but I would also like to be able to adjust H264 settings for both talking heads and medium to high motion without (any) frame drops.
I have tried streaming to multiple/different Flash Media Servers, archived only to file, and H264 results seem always bad.
Any recommendations from professionals in the live streaming arena are much appreciated. I thank you for your time in advance.
Thank you!
Hugo

Hello Hugo
Sorry to know that you are facing these kind of issues, let me try to reply and understand issues one by one.
>>We have been primarily using VP6/mp3 for encoding. Most of our work is SD. We also always seem to have trouble when trying to encode the FLV file to another format, audio always seem to be out of sync, but sometimes it works...
-- Which application you are using to convert FLV to other format?
-- Is these any Audio - Video sync issue when you play FLV file in Adobe Media Player? if NO, it means FLV file created properly.
>> Do you know why that would be regarding the FLV audio falling off sync when encoding to another format, such as MOV? Also, when we try to play back the FLV, the audio sounds garbled up and only plays well in Adobe Media Player.
-- Which application you are using to convert FLV to MOV? if FLV playabck fine and without a/v sync issue, it should convert MOV with a/v sync.
-- It depend on audio codec selection by Media player or correct audio codec not installed for media player. Install appropriate audio codec to play in other media player if you dont want to play in Adobe Media Player.
>> I keep hearing H264 encoding will provide better video, but I just can't get that to work. Also, why is it that my entire CS4 suite of applications can't read or playback the F4V file- that's unacceptable from Adobe, just a big huge pain the butt...

-- Adobe Flash Media Server version 3.5 and later and Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 can record content in MPEG-4 (F4V) format using an industry-standard recording technology known as "fragments" or "moof atoms." Some MPEG-4 compatible tools and players do not support moof atoms.
The F4V Post Processor tool aggregates the information from all the moof atoms into a single moov atom and outputs a new file." You can download the tool from above location: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/tool_downloads/

Problems exporting and playback the MPEG2-DVD videos, from .MP4 file!

I have PremiereProCS4 v.4.2.1 installed on this PC:
OS:WindowsXPProx64Bit; CPU:IntelCore2Quad Q9650; RAM:4GB DDR2 PC2-6400 Kingston; HDD:3x500GB WestrnDigital Caviar Green; VGA: Sparkle GeForce 9400GT 512MB.
I have downloaded an AVCHD file .MTS 1920x1080p 25p, made by Canon HF100 AVCHD camcorder, from this source (.rar file):
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=RWR5MNYHhttp://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
The videos in question called: "25pf_1.25_f1.8.MTS" playback and export from Premiere as MPEG2-DVD very well.
I playbacked it on Premiere on the second Monitor as "OutputDevice". All Ok.
I playbacked also the DVD made with EncoreCS4, on the external DVD set-top-box-player. All OK.
I downloaded also another clip 1080p 25p, converted as .mp4, from the same author, imported then in Premiere with Preset "XDCAM EX 1080p 25p" (470MB) :
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=B9ZDX2RZ
No problems with playback.
Exported as MPEG2-DVD PAL "Lower Field First".
Opened in NeroShowTime Player: the video have a serious interruptions of the playback, some moments plays back-and-forward, and it isn't fluid at all!
I tried to create a DVD with EncoreCS4 and played it with DVD Player set-top-box, and the result is bad, and is the same as the playback on my PC with NeroShowTime Player. It present the back-and-forwars interruptions.
I tried also to create an AVCHD Project 1080p 25p and import the .MP4 file, but the problem persists !
After exporting them, and played-back on NeroShowTime and on Set-Top-Box Player, the video have strange behavior, and plays back-and-forward!
1) What Preset in Premiere should I use to editing, for this .MP4 file format, (filmed with Canon HF100 AVCHD and converted from original .MTS format to .MP4 format)?
2) Is this a transcoding problem?
3) Is this an exporting MPEG2-DVD PAL field-order issue?
This is my bad exported MPEG2-DVD converted file, available for downloading:
http://rapidshare.com/files/337858976/Canon_HF100_1920x1080p_25p_01_AVCHD25p.m2v.html
Strange! With .MTS files I haven't any exporting problems at all!
Please response me hurry!
Many Thanks!
Horsepower.

OK! Sanyo use a bad format.
But about JVC GY-HM100 Professional:
I know this model very well!
It records to .MP4 XDCAM_EX at the same manner of Professionals Sony Camcorder such this: Sony XDCAM_EX model "PMW-EX1" price €6.478,80.
This JVC GY-HM100 camcorder is not tha same as Consumer JVC camcorders.
It doesn't record MOD or TOD files.
It records .MP4 files editables in Premiere with XDCAM_EX "Preset"!
See those details:

The first Brochure called "A Guide to the Most Efficient Workflow with ProHD
(6 pg brochure)" explain very well the .MP4 - XDCAM_EX format and the Editing process that should be with Adobe PremiereProCS4.
I have inspected the downloaded .mp4 file in question, and GSPOT v.2.70a reading this:
-CONTAINER:

1c) Is this an AVCHD video codec?

Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Medie Encoder CC 2014 problem

Hello there,
Every time that I am willing to export my project my Premiere Pro CC 2014 stop responding all together. I tried the short cut (Commend+M) or going through the Manu bar. the result is the same, Premiere Pro CC 2014 just freezes and does not respond to anything till I force quit it and restart it allover again. I tried exporting from Premiere Pro it self, without using Media Encoder, but the problem remains the same.
I am using the new Mac Pro. I heard Adobe Premiere Pro is experiencing problems with the New Mac Pro. Is that true? Or is there other issue?
Thank you and looking forward to hear back,
Maruf

I am having a similar problem.
Premiere Pro CC 2014 suddenly decided to crash every time I export to either Adobe Media Encoder or within Premiere itself.
The encode will usually go for 5-10 minutes before the programs either spits out a "serious error has occurred" window, or it just sits there frozen until I force quit.
I did find a work-around for the moment. If I open AME and FILE > OPEN, select my project and then the sequence I want, AND put it in Software render mode, it will work.
My timeline is 2K, 58 minutes in 23.976
Only effects applied are Lumetri LUTs - no third party.
I've exported as recently as a week ago without issue.
Running OSX 9.5 on an X99 board
3.75 GHz 8-core
64GB 2400 MHz RAM
EVGA Titan Black 6GB
Because I can get my renders out, I am not too concerned. Either there is something wonky with my timeline that screws with any graphics enabled rendering, or there is a bug that is have the same effect. I will try rendering on another of my edit bays that utilizes a GTX 580 that I KNOW works. The Titan is pretty new to my workflow.
Thanks Adobe, for checking this out.

Exporting to Media Encoder and file locating issue

Ok, Now I've read a LOT of threads trying to find a solution to this but none of them have answered my problem exactly, so here's what I have:
Running a New computer with a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit and Adobe CS4 Master Suite
Hardware:
Dell Precision M6400
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T9900 @ 3.06 Ghz, 3.07 Ghz
12.0 GB Ram
Premiere ran fine for a while, but soon I've run into a problem where I try to export to the Media Encoder and I keep getting the error:
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted" over and over
I have deleted recently imported media one at a time to try and locate what's causing it since it wasn't doing this before, but no luck. So I restarted the program but now the Premiere project won't open. The task bar loads until about 2/3 in and stops there indefinitely, I've left and came back to it 2 hours later and it hadn't moved. I back tracked and found a previous save that will open, but it still will not export, it still says "Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted". And as soon as I update anything and save a new file that one will not open either.
I've tried recompressing each video file into a format I know works well with Premiere but still no difference.
This problem has plagued my workflow for a while now and I can't take it anymore. I've had to restart clean project files to try to work around it but I lose so much progress, and the work around by rendering the premiere file through After effects hasn't worked either. The error I get there says "Dynamic link server is busy".
Here's what the problem is not: It is not because I uninstalled CS3 or any other previous version, I've never had it on this computer. It's not a plugin problem, I don't have any plugins on this install except for the default ones that Came with Adobe Master Suite for Premiere Pro.
Someone please help me, this is ridiculous that I have had to trouble shoot the program this much. Both CS4 and Windows 7 have been around for over a year now and neither are in Beta Editions

Wow, sorry, forgive me if I've seen most forums work with a lot less, and your dismissiveness led me to assume you hadn't read my post.
All of this is new and up do date as far as Adobe and Windows updates go, that's Version 4.2.1.
My projects for this are all in NTSC Widescreen DV 24P, the particular sequence that I render from is in that format as well, although regardless of which one I use the problem keeps occurring.
My renders for my recent purposes have been compressed in .h264, IPOD video Large. The codec I'm rendering in also doesn't seem to matter, because I've tried this in .avi., .mov, .h264, .wav, etc. and all with various settings that I thought might help, but the encoder quits encoding 4 seconds in and gives me the error that it can't find the media.
And I didn't mention the media type and what not because it seems irrelevent of what I use this problem keeps happening. I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the project file or perhaps the media encoder or both.
And I don't know what you mean by "disks"
Do I have a Raid set up on my hard disk? No, I have two 0.5 TB hard drives, Programs on one (C:\) Projects on the other (D:\).
What address am I saving the scratch disks to? I use the default of "same as Project". Have I tried Clearing it? Yes.
I don't think I'm getting at what you're asking.
And I don't think I've ever used an .xlsm (which is excel?) file and I've definitely never used a Power point project (PPS?) file in my projects. And they open in their respective programs, although I'm not sure why you asked about that. Again I'm not sure I know what you mean.
The Premiere Project (.prproj) file is what I'm trying to open when the progress bar stops at 2/3 the way through and forces me to terminate the process with the task manager to close it.
It would help to mention that all my projects are animated and I use premiere to cobble them together, so no problems that relate to transferring media from a camera to the computer would apply here. Most of the files I get out of Maya are in Default .avi or .mov files, and I also use a handful of .wav files for the dialogue and .jpgs for cards and placeholders.
I believe that this problem began when I updated a few of the files in my project, but I've been doing that for weeks without incident. I've been updating them by saving over the old media file with the updated one of the same name, length, and type.
I don't work exclusively with Premiere, in fact it's not what I usually use, that would be Final Cut Pro.

Using Variable Bit Rate Encoding (VBR) and playback issues

I have been using VBR when making mp3 for download to "Soundclick.com" in the past, resently, I started to hear complaints from listeners, that my mp3 were garbled, although it is not consistent so, it is true, and I came to believe it was because of VBR. I re-encoded the files in question, and so far the problem has gone away.
The question is this due to OSX 10.5.6, or might it be something with soundclick, I don't know; but it did seem to become evident after loading the OSX 10.5.6 update. I can't find a way to correspond with Apple Development, so I thought to post here. I am also going to pursue this with "Soundclick.com"; VBR seems to be an efficient way to encode, and I would like to keep using it.
If anyone know about this it would be cool to hear for you!

Is the problem inherently answered in your question?
Why use VBR when you bounce? It's a compromise solution, and has it's own problems. What are soundclicks tech specs? Work to those, getting the file as big as you can, it takes moments to bounce multiple files of varying bit depth etc to see how far you can stretch things before you're over-budget on the file size.

PDF file converter...why is everything encoded and how do I change this?

I recently downloaded Adobe 'export file' to word. Everytime I open a PDF attatchment of any kind, it's encrypted/encoded and imossible for me to read. How do I fix this problem? I've spent many hours looking for help online to no avail. Any help is grealty appreciated. Thank you!!!

If you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011, consider installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

Office 2011 is known to sometimes scramble legacy Office data files. For example, I access an Excel 2004 Chart on a weekly basis that is trashed when I attempt to open it in Excel 2011. I open it in Excel 2004 in the Snow Leopard virtualized environment, modify it and save it for the next weekly access.

New computer, download premiere and there is no playback after importing files. Any ideas what's happening?

New computer, download premiere and there is no playback after importing files. Any ideas what's happening?

'JohnTSmith' Thanks for the links. I'll be sure to add more details for future requests!
The computer is an iMac late 2013
Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1024 MB
The video file was a .mov file from a Canon 7D. Essentially I downloaded Adobe Premiere CC 2014, downloaded the update because I tried to open up an older project and then imported one movie file.
Playback from all windows didn't work. But after I tried to change settings in the preferences as 'RoninEdits' suggested but I ended up just searching around and didn't change anything. I stepped away for a second to check on my cookies in the oven and when I came back press play and the video now works. Any idea what happen?
I'm not sure what happen but I'll continue monitoring this issue. I'll touch base if I run into the problem again.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Playback and export problems

Greetings,
I've just done a Leopard clean install on my Quad G5 (2.5 gigs RAM). So far, I've reformat my HD, install Leopard, install all apps from original CD's, the work!
I use STP as my main editor for a radio show. Normally, I import the music (AIFF), the voice clips (BWF) and do my editing without any problems. Since I've switch to Leopard, STP cannot playback any file without having audio dropout or glitches. It sounds like STP is not able to playback the imported files. And, btw, I'm having no problem to play those files in Quicktime, Audacity or Garageband. Perfect playback, without a glitch!
And if I try to export the project to MP3 or WAV, I'm having another problem with the resulting file: dropout and glitches at playback.
Anyone seen that?
Regards
MD.

INCROYABLE! But true!
I finally solved all my problems with Logic, Soundtrack Pro, GarageBand and tutti quanti. It's like having a new machine!
The solution? How did I solved it? It's right there, from an anonymous Applecare worker:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6020837#6020837
) Emptied system cache (library folder) and user account cache (username/libraryfolder).
2) Shut down and unplugged my Mac for 5 minutes.
3) Held down option + command + p + r keys to reset the system pram.
Like the good ol'time. A PRAM problem. Fiew!
The champagne is on me! We'll probably never know that guy's name, but many thanks to him. He's my hero tonight.
