I have no video playback in Premiere

Hi There,
I'm without any video playback in Premiere and Speed Grade (Though have never used this program before). I am a creative cloud member and downloaded these programs and had no playback or image in any Adobe program, so update GPU drivers and by searching through the forums learned that I had to disable CUDA/Mercury Pl. After much agony I finally got Premiere to work and edited a piece. Though have come back about 2 weeks later and cant get any playback again??? Though turning the Mercury Playback engine to software only etc. doesn't seem to be working.
I'm quite enjoying paying my membership fees without being able to use the programs and cant get any response from trying to chat with Adobe help.
System Specs:
Windows 8 (64 Bit)
Nvidia Geoforce GTX 660M
16GB of RAM
Two SSD HD's
I7-3740QM Processor
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

No video playback in premiere CS6 trial

Hi,
I am trying to use the Adobe Premiere CS6 trial on my laptop but I can't get the video playback to display at all. There is audio playback, just no video. I can get a paused frame to show if I double-click on the playback area but pressing play does not make the video play, only the audio. Stopping the playback displays the latest current frame again.
My laptop's specs are as follows:
Toshiba notebook
Intel i7 2.40GHz
8gb RAM
500+ gb free space
Windows 8 64
Latest Intel display drivers installed
The video files I am importing in my sequence are .mov files, 1920x1088 @ 23 FPS.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks for your time,

thank you. I was crazy trying to solve the problem. I install the drivers
and ..... like magic .... all the problems solve.

No video playback in premiere elements 12

No playback after a few mins of editing. Tried most of the potion in the adobe troubleshooting section (http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-elements/kb/troubleshoot-digital-video-playback-premiere-2 .html) but never got anywhere. Most options listed are for Windows. I have an almost new Mac with all the system requirement to run Elements 12 . HELP, PLEASE

bjgarciac
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but I do try to find common ground between Premiere Elements 12 Windows and Mac as a first pass at troubleshooting issues like the one your present.
1. What are the properties and duration of your source media?
Video compression
Audio compression
Frame Size
File Extension
Frame Rate
Interlaced or Progressive
Pixel Aspect Ratio
Brand/Model/Settings for Camera which recorded the video would help.
2. What did you or the program set as the project preset based on a match of project preset with properties of the source media?
3. What have you done in the way of edits after which you have problems? What is the duration of the TImeline at that point? Is this a multi track project?
Please explain "playback stops"
a. The TImeline Indicator will not move from the start of the Timeline when you press Play in the Edit area monitor?
b. Playback stops after playing back about few seconds of the Timeline content
c. Other
Do you have the Work Area Bar gray tabs set to span the whole content of the Timeline?
When you are playing back your Timeline in the Edit area monitor, does your Timeline content have an orange, green, or no colored line
over its duration?
4. Are you running a dual or single computer monitor setup? If you right click the Edit area monitor and select Playback Quality is there any
difference in the problem whether you set for Highest instead of Automatic?
5. For this type of video and this type of project, would you class this problem as
"it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before".
Thank you.

No video playback in Premiere Elements 10

Hi,
I've got something I can't solve here. I cannot playback any video in Elements 10 on win 8.1. It was originally a Canon .MOV recorded on a G12, and i could hear audio but see nothing. I then converted the file to a AVI, MP4, etc...and got nothing. So I went to my archive and loaded up some other files that had been working with the same program on Win7, nada. Then I tried various random videos, .flv etc.. Then tried to run videos previously created with this software.
I also tried Win7 compatibility mode, and run as Admin.
All of the above videos played fine in various video software.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Candy
What is the video card/graphics card that is being used by the computer with your Premiere Elements 10? You may a Premiere Elements 10 user hit by the NVIDIA video card issue which requires a roll back of the driver version rather than assuring the you have the latest version of the driver installed. Please check out the following thread on that possibility.
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
By the way, flv files never have imported into Premiere Elements (any version). However, you can export a Premiere Elements Timeline to a .flv file.
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your Windows 7 (assumed 64 bit) computer?
We will be watching for your follow up with more details of your situation.
Thanks.

C300 footage does not properly import, video playback in Premiere is frozen or just a red screen

After working with C300 footage for about 6 months now, this is the first time I've encountered this issue, and I haven't done anything differently with this project to my knowledge.
I am working with some C300 footage (not much, not even a full 32gb card), and when I bring it into Premiere some, but not all, of the clips aren't able to play back. In some cases the video will freeze on a frame while the audio continues playing, in other cases I'll just get a red frame while the audio plays. In all cases, the audio playback is fine, no issues.
The issue only occurs on longer, interview clips. I haven't had any issues with clips less than about 1-2 minutes in length. When I get the frozen or red screen, it will stay frozen or red for a while, upwards of a minute or a couple minutes, before the video comes back towards the end of the clip. This is pretty inconsistent though, I haven't noticed a pattern.
It doesn't matter whether the footage is rendered or not, issue remains the same. Nor is it an issue with lagging playback, if I pause the clip when the red screen comes up and wait it never catches up, never unfreezes. I have tried importing the footage multiple ways: dragging into the project from Finder; navigating through Premiere's media browser; going to File>Import. Same issue every time for the same clips.
If I try to export the clip, same issue. If I try to bring the footage straight from Finder into Media Encoder to output a ProRes422 version, same issue.
However, if I take the card structure, and copy it back onto a CF card and pop it into my C300, it plays back just fine. No red frames, no freezing, no issues. So it's not a corrupted card and it's not like I lost any data when copying from the card to computer.
I'm working with Premiere CC 2014 on a 2012 Macbook Pro (2.6ghz i7, 16gb RAM, 2gb VRAM), I've tried using OpenCL, CUDA and software only as the renderer, same issue with everything. I have also tried multiple computers with the same issue.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I can answer part of your comment ... PrPro is a beast of a complex and capable program, compared especially to VLC, a simple playback program. VLC takes the data off the drive and just plays it back ... PrPro takes the data from the drive as only a starting point, applies whatever changes have occurred in the timeline for clips & cuts, transitions, video & audio effects, and plays the RESULT of all that back in as close as possible to real-time. Each and every time through is a "new" compilation of data. Unless you specifically render previews for a selection, it's always "showtime" ... live processing of original with all modifications.
Part of the complexity of the program underlying the work is the built-in system to incorporate changes from AfterEffects, Audition, and SpeedGrade ... also as much in "real time" as possible, and again, without completely re-creating the new sequence as a "physical" file stored on disc somewhere. No other programs out there do that. It makes these more complicated & more complex in the code, and more demanding of system resources in many ways.
But as they are constantly working to improve the actual operation, far more capable. I'm a one-man operation, and most of the time my stuff flies through the combo of PrPro & Sg, with some Audition work thrown into most projects. Occasional trips to A3. Yes, I get glitches occasionally. No, my projects aren't 30-second but INCREDIBLY complex opening scenes for CNN or ESPN or someone, nor a modern complex commercial shot or a music video. Or ... Heavens ... a 130 minute feature.
Yet I know of quite a few people who do such work and mostly get through their projects in quite good shape, some of whom help out here regularly. It's a total bummer when YOUR machine is the one glitching. I understand. Right now, mine has pretty much stopped using my GTX770 video card and its 4GB vRAM, more than 29% of CPU, nor more than about 6.5GB of system RAM. Which as you might guess, slows down my playback & renders exponentially. I'll get it handled. But it's been a month or so.
The vast majority of users are NOT having this problem. Wish I was one of them, as do you. Best of luck getting this moving ...

Video playback in premiere elements 13 is off - audio and video don't line up.

When I import video clips from other sources, such as my webcam, a downloaded youtube video, or video imported from my phone, the video lags behind the audio. More and more as the video plays on. My computer meets all the system requirements and I tried rendering the video. When I export the video to other formats, it still has a lag. Can anyone help me? I am currently using the trial version and I don't want to purchase the program unless this issue is resolved.
Any help is appreciated.

Installing Dreamweaver CS6 on Lion seems to have broken video playback

Last night I was able to play the videos on the Adobe website (for example, CS6 & Creative Cloud Feature Tour for Web) on both Safari and Chrome. After downloading and installing Dreamweaver CS6, I can't play those videos. The page loads but the display box remains blacked out. I verified that I was still able to play the videos on another computer on the same LAN. I also confirmed that I can still play videos at YouTube. It just seems to be Adobe's website that's broken.
My computer is a Mac Pro running OS X Lion. I installed CS6 using an administrator account and rebooted after the install complete.
Anyone else run into a similar issue?

Thank you for trying the install. It may just be a coincidence that just before downloading Dreamweaver, I could view the videos and after installing, I couldn't. Those things happen, unfortunately.
I found some similar issues in other Adobe Forums. I went into the Flash settings, enabled the option for third parties to save Flash components and added tv.adobe.com and images.tv.adobe.com as trusted sites. Now I'm able to view the videos again.

Video Playback Option in "Preferences/Audio-Video Out"

The following did not make it into the User Guide, though it did get into the troubleshooting docs:
http://www.adobe.com/support/techdocs/332121.html
332121 Video Playback option in Audio/Video Out preferences (Encore DVD)
A new option was added to the Preferences menu of version 2.0 of Adobe Encore DVD. When you select Edit > Preferences > Audio/Video Out, you see an Automatic option in the Video Playback section. This option is selected by default, allowing Encore DVD 2.0 to play video in a Standard Direct3D mode. If the feature is not selected, then video playback will be in GDI mode.
The only reason to deselect this option is in the case of poor preview playback or black video. In order for the change in preference to take effect, you must close the Monitor panel and then reopen it.
Background information
Encore DVD 2.0 (unlike previous versions of Encore DVD) uses the Premiere Pro playback engine for video playback. Premiere Pro has three Desktop Display modes: Compatible, Standard, and Accelerated GPU Effects. In Compatible mode, video is played using the GDI. In Standard mode, video is played using Direct 3D. In Accelerated mode, video is played using Direct 3D with GPU.
The default setting for Encore DVD 2.0 is comparable to Premiere Pro's Standard mode (Direct 3D). When the Automatic option is deselected, it is comparable to Premiere Pro's Compatible mode (GDI).
If Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 detects a Direct 3D error when previewing in Standard mode, it switches to Compatible mode. Encore DVD 2.0 does not have this capability, nor does it provide the same option in the User Interface for the user to switch between the three display modes. This is why the Automatic option was included in the Audio/Video Out preferences.

Welcome to iMovie Discussions.
Sounds like you've been shooting at p ("progressive") frame rate (..24p or similar).
iMovie can't handle that (..except for JVC's 720p footage..) and it thinks that each frame is a "field" (..half a frame). It therefore plays those frames at double speed, thinking that there should be two 'fields' to a single frame.
Did you shoot at a "p" frame-rate..? If so, you'll need to convert the material, with some other program, so that iMovie can handle it.
I can't remember offhand what software might do this, but if you were shooting in HDV hi-def (which is recorded in the camera using the MPEG-2 video system) you may be able to use MPEG Streamclip (click on that blue link) to "unscramble" your material.

Shaky Video Playback

I am new to editing and I am currently experiencing shaky video playback in Premiere Elements 12.
I am working from a laptop currently and I am not sure if it is my computer specs which is the issue or software is the issue.
I am recording with Canon Rebel t3i in HD 1080 29fps.
Processor: AMD E-350 1.6 GHz
RAM: 5.6 usable
OS: 64-bit

Nupetastik1
The answers will be in the details.
The links provided in post 2 are impressive but do not necessarily tell us what you can do in your specific computer environment with your specific source media and your Premiere Elements 12 project in a 64 bit system, assumed to be either Window 7, 8, or 8.1. Please confirm what version/editor of Windows is being used here as well as the size and scope of the projects that you intend to create in the future in the computer environment that you outlined.
Granted "..Part of the issue..." is included as a modifier when your computer rank of 745 was pointed to. At this point, I am not ready to pass judge that your "shaky video playback" is related to your ADM E-350 processor.
Once we know more including
a. Do you have the correct project settings
b. The duration of your Timeline content...what parts of it are shaky, all or just some...if some, have you applied any effects to that content...etc.
c. In spite of "shaky video" seen in the Edit Mode monitor, do you see the same "shaky video" in the export of that "shaky video" Timeline content?
Please review and not be discouraged at this rank "745" just yet. It is interesting information to have in projecting the compability of your workbench to create larger projects. But, once the display issue is defined, then you can explore and experiment in searching for the limits of your setup related to the size of the project.
That is my take on the situation in discussion. Do not give up until all the details are sorted out.
Thanks.

Slow laggy playback on Premiere

Hey like many others I am having issues with slow video playback on Premiere cs 5.5
This is the laptop I recently purchased specifically so I could run this software. I am disappointed to say the least:

Intel® Core™ i7-2670QM Processor

Accelerated performance with MSI TDE Technology
HDD: 1TB (500 GB*2 RAID 0) 7200 RPM
RAM: DDRIII 12GB (4GB*3)
When playing back video, the CPU is used at a max of 20% and the GPU is something similarily low. I purchased this laptop
a month ago and have only installed media related software like photoshop, premiere etc.
After Effects works beautifully for me, while Premiere does not.
I use Canon 5D HD video at 1080p video at 30fps
I realize this issue has been posted numerous times, but I am not sure how the issues apply specifically to my laptop,
so I was wondering if anyone could help me out? Should I just get an earlier version of premiere?

>HDD: 1TB (500 GB*2 RAID 0) 7200 RPM
Even in raid, only one "effective" hard drive is not going to work very well... here is why...
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down by trying to do everything
Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
I find that the three drives I use work very well for me, for editing AVCHD video... some people use a 4th drive, so video INPUT files are on drive three and all OUTPUT files are on drive four... I only bought a mid-tower case instead of a full tower case (my bad... but had to fit in the space available on my office desk!) so I use the three drives that will fit
Depending on your exact hardware (motherboard brand & model AND USB2 enclosure brand & model AND external hard drive brand & model) AND the type of video file, you may... or may NOT... be able to use an external USB2 hard drive for SD (Standard Definition) video editing

Pause FMR recording and video playback capture not working??

Hello!
I'm trying to record full motion recording in CAPTIVATE, but the PAUSE feature looks like it is not working for me. I even tried to modify the shortcut key, but nothing works. Anybody else have this trouble or am I missing something obvius here?? I thought that maybe the FMR mode cannot be PAUSED, but nothing on that matter can be found in the manual.
Also, I'm trying to produce e-learning content for PREMIERE and SOUNDBOOTH. I've noticed that video playback within PREMIERE is not captured by CAPTIVATE. I've seen on the forum that others had this issue. Is version 5 of captivate behaving the same? Is it still not possible to capture onscreen video playback?
Any info here would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I'm having the same problem where Captivate 5 in FMR doesn't respond to the Pause key, however I'm noticing that there hasn't been a solution supplied here.
Is there another location/forum where Adobe representatives for Captivate are actively monitoring questions and problems for this product?

OS X 10.8 video playback issues

since upgrading to OS X 10.8 I have several video playback issues.
I have a lot of videos ripped to my Drobo NAS, connected bij FW 800 to my MacMini (4 GB, 2009). Until recently, playback was smooth, either with VLC or DVD Player.
Since upgrading to OS X 10.8, DVD Player is not playing VIDEO_TS folders anymore, all I get is a chequered screen. This is also happening on my MacBookPro and my iMac i7, so this is not a specific hardware issue.
After upgrading to OS X 10.8.2, videos are playing back jerky and audio is out of sync in VLC and QuickTime.
Since I have 10,000+ videos in my library, this is absolutely unacceptable
I tried reinstalling OS 10.8, and trashing the prefs, but to no avail.
please help.

Are you running the latest version of VLC player?
