JPG Preview garbled in Source Monitor

Macbook Air i7
OSX 10.7.3
PremierePro 5.5.2
When a JPG file is double clicked to view in Source Monitor it is garbled (there is color and blocks, but not a recognizable image). Once the JPG is added to the timeline the image will clear in the Source Monitor and be correct. Is there something I need to change to make the initial preview to work without adding to timeline to view?

I think these are written by Windows users, but they may help

How do I get line preview from Source monitor using Axio?

Any ideas on how I get a line preview from the source monitor on my Axio (the "full blwn" Axio, not the LE)

In CS4, go to Edit > Preferences > Player Settings, and in the Default Player drop-down, choose the Matrox player.

Premier Pro CC no audio in source monitor

Hello,
I've been using Premier Pro for a few months now and awhile ago when I would double click on a video in my time line to preview on the source monitor, the audio does not play, only the video. Yes the clips have audio in the time line and I can view audio wave form stuff from the source monitor, yet it is mute. Help?? It use to work, I don't know what happened. If you need more details let me know.
Thank you!

FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

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.

Source Monitor smooth, but Program Monitor STUTTERS

What would cause a clip to play smoothly in the SOURCE monitor, but to not play smoothly in the PROGRAM monitor? Playback resolution makes no difference.
I've tried using "New Sequence From Clip" - same problem. I'm not using an external monitoring device like AJA or Blackmagic.
Boggles my mind. If you figure it out, I owe you lunch.
(Note: Sequence settings match, playback settings are the same for each monitor, software is CS5.5, computer is Mac Pro 3,1 with 10GB RAM, graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 3870, and hard drive is fibre channel RAID.)

Refresh rates are always the first thing to check - your external monitor should be set to the same refresh as the content. Playing 30p content on a 50Hz monitor will jitter and vice versa. That said I have never got external previews to playback without any stuttering at all and reading other posts around the only real solution is external hardware.

Source Monitor and Program Monitor dead in Premier Pro?

I recently installed Premiere Pro CS6 on my laptop so I could use it on location, but both the Source Monitor and the Program monitor are completly dead. The Source Monitor just displays a bright array of colours when you try to play anything, and the Program Monitor is just plain black. The audio still plays at full volume and I've tested the imported media (a mixture of .jpg, .mov and .mp4 fils) in other programs on my computer and they work fine. Any suggestions people?
Here is a screen grap of the Premiere Pro doing its thing: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A2mmd7JCQAEyPXV.jpg:large
Thanks.

What is the graphics adapter you have, and what is your driver version?

Switching ExternalMonitor View from "Source Monitor" to "Program Monitor"?

This worked fine in CS6, but I switched to Premiere CC and my external monitor is displaying the contents of Premiere's "Source Monitor" only, not the "Program Monitor". When the Timeline or Program monitor is selected, the extrenal monitor is black. But slecting Source Monitor plays fine on the extrenal moitor (through SDI connection)
How do I switch to the viewing the Program Monitor signal in my external monitor instead of the Source Monitor?
Tech Setup: using Blackmagic ultrastudio mini monitor to send SDI signal. Have installed the latest driver for the Blackmagic ultrastudio, which is approved for Adobe CC. Everything works perfectly in Premiere CS6, it's an issue inside Premiere CC.
Thanks!

Thanks for your help Peter!

PPro CS6: Source Monitor Dropping Frames

Greetings,
Currently I'm working off an iMac, OSC 10.8.4, 12 GB RAM, with i7, and ATI Radeon 1GB video card. I haven't noticed it recently until today for some reason, but my source monitor keeps dropping frames like crazy after about 5 seconds of playback.
I've read other threads that recommend lower preview frame res, as well as playback res to 1/4. I've tried that, allocated more memory to PPro (only 2GB left to other applications, yet PPro seems to only use 1.9GB during dropped frame playback), shut down other proccesses that might be consuming memory, switched PPro to enable better "Performance" in preferences, and rebooted several times.
I realized that it could be the source footage from the start: 1080p 23.976fps TIFF sequence.
How can I get PPro to actually use more than 1.9GB of memory during playback in order to get over this TIF hump? Or does the real answer lie not in memory, but more processing power?
Not a job-threatening situation, but just curious as to what it takes.
Thanks!

Okay, thanks for the additional infor. I've taken note of this issue and will investigate when we return from the company shutdown on July 8.

Still images don't show in source monitor

Hi,
Running CS5.5 on a Mac Pro, all updated, latest software. Using a Black Magic Decklink card for output.
My problem is I can't see any still images when I load them into the source monitor. They don't show up when I preview them from the media browser and they don't show up when I import them and load them into the source monitor... Just a black screen.
I can edit them to the timeline and when I double click on them they load into the source monitor! But they don't load normally from the project window.
They are jpegs, but I've tried with png as well...
Thanks
Ben Kupfer

They are way too big. One is maybe ok but several.
Make the dimension at least half the size, then they probably have no trouble showing up.

Can the audio for the source monitor be muted during playback?

Seems like a silly question but I like to listen to music on the same workstation while I'm previewing/trimming clips in the source monitor. In this instance I do not need to preview the audio in the clips so I'd rather not hear it while my jams are playing, which keeps me from poking my eye out with a pen after 4 hours of previewing .
I have not been able to locate any mute option for the source monitor so I'm open to suggestions other then using something other than the same workstation (iPod n headphones), which may be the way I go if there is no other option.
thanks,
Dave

Hey Harm,
I can't see the audio tracks in the source monitor (CS4). I only see the audio tracks of clips that are loaded in a timeline. Right now I have a thousand (literally) clips from a season of club volleyball. I have them loaded in bins in the project panel and I am dbl clicking each clip to load it in the source monitor panel (that I have undocked and displayed on a seperate monitor). I have seperate sequences for the types of plays I want to keep, so as I preview/trim in the source monitor I drop what I want to keep in the appropriate timeline/sequence. If there is a way to view the audio tracks in the source monitor without the clips being in a timeline I do not know how.

Source monitor quality issues...

Hi Guys,
I hope someone can help. I've done a lot of searching for some help with this question;
I've been using Premiere Pro CS3 for a little while and am slowly mastering (learning) the basics!
I recently imported a .mov file in PremPro to add some music to it.
The strange thing is, after import, the movie seems washed out/faded in the source monitor and also when I export the final comp.
When I open the .mov in Quicktime and After Effects and view it, it's perfect.
I'm working on a MacPro tower (i'm at home now and can't exactly remember the spec! ) But running OS 10.4+
When I open the same .mov file in Premiere on my MacPro Laptop at home the movie preview is fine!?
I'm sure i'm doing something very wrong!? Any ideas guys?
Apologies for the lack of machine specs.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums.
Do a search with the keywords "quicktime" and "gamma". I'm sure that is what is affecting you. I personally don't use Quicktime.
Cheers
Eddie

How to open only one clip at a time in the source monitor?

Ok the answer to this question may be simple.. hopefully...
At the moment each time I open a clip in the source monitor it adds it to the dropdown list.
Fine... but I am opening and closing hundreds of clips in a day and after a while I noticed it seemed to be slowing down the whole PPCS5.5 system.
It appears that PP seems to be keeping each clip I open... active.
Is there a way to allow only one clip to be open at a time in the source monitor... other than having to close them all first??? (would be ideal if there was some kind of shortcut like shift-doubleclick)

SonyZ7's can record to compact flash cards as well as tape, so I generally log and transfer from the cards.
So I guess I should do a bit more research on workflow's in Pr

Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.

Is that true for all GoPro video formats or just some of the newer (higher resolution/frame rate) one? The GoPro has several different pre-sets and I typically like to get as much resolution as possible for my source and for highspeed subjects like sports I try to use higher framerates as well. Are you suggesting that I convert the source files to Cineform avi and then edit those resulting AVI's in CS6?

Premiere Pro keeps crashing when using overwrite (.) shortcut in Source Monitor

When editing a clip in the source monitor and then using the (.) key to overwrite the clip onto my timeline Premiere Pro keeps crashing. If I select the Timeline window and then press the (.) key it works fine, but if the Source Monitor is highlighted and I press (.) it crashes every time and shows these windows:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/mightykilt/shared/
adobe/Mediacore/Backened/Make/Mac/../../Src/
Sequence/LinkContainer.cpp-184]
and then opens this one:
Adobe Premiere Pro
Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires
Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to
save your current project.
It saves my current project as a copy, which is good, but I've now ended up with lots of copies of the same project as it keeps on crashing. In order to work I have to make sure that the Timeline is highlighted before I use the shortcut. It makes for very precarious and tense editing!

A crash with a very similar error message was fixed in the new CC release. The bug report in that case involved creating a multi-cam sequence, so it might not be directly related.
If you have a chance to download the CC trial, we'd be interested to know whether the crash remains in the new version.

Carolyn,
I think your TV might be a rear projection model, correct? Those types of TVs inherently have overscan built into them as part of their optical design. The TV should have some picture SIZE settings that affect how much overscan is present, and some settings may even get rid of it altogether with the result there might be a small black border instead.
Don't worry about changing TV settings. Settings like this are tied to a specific input. So if you make these types of changes while the TV is passing the mini's video through to the screen, those changes will only apply to the mini. When you switch to other inputs, like a cable box, etc., the old settings should still be intact and unchanged.
