Just started CS5.5 but video does not play in preview

I just got a brand new (to me) Panasonic AC130P Camera for my work / office and recorded some simple test shots.
All of the videos were shot in MTS format / AVCHD 1920 x 1080 (1.0).
When I put them in my bin then click on it, the small preview box on the top does not move and only audio comes through. When I click and drag it to the preview box, it only plays audio. I have messed around with the output icon to see if I can get something but all I can get are the waveforms etc to work, not the actual video I shot.
I'm maybe considred old scool (Worked with a lot of DV, SVHS, etc but never digital HD, this is my first time) so a lot of the HD settings are really new to me. Am I missing something here?
I have a feeling that it has to do with the video / graphics card but has anyone else experienced this before? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I did watch that video however, doesn't solve my issue of playback or preview.
I don't have issues with the sequence rather, I have an issue of the video showing up at all in Premiere. I don't see it in the preview or sequence monitors however I hear audio and the other output devices can read the RGB frequencies.an
I've used CS3 in the past and never had an issue like this. The footage that I took can be previewed through Windows Media Player and other devices but it seems like Premiere doesn't want to play it back for me, visually.
So visually you can see this:
As you can see my sequence cursor is placed right in the middle of the sequence with no video playing and also, the preview box for the clips in the bin also has the cursor in the middle which should also allow some sort of video to be shown. Instead, I have these bleek boxes of gray.
If anyone has experienced this, please let me know. Thank you!

Video does not play in preview window.

I have recently upgraded to CS4 from CS3.
In any part of CS4 that uses video; Encore, Premeire and After Effects, video will not play in the preview window from a timeline when the play button is pressed. The playhead doesn't move, but the Play button toggles from Pause to Play when pressed. However, when I scrub the video, I can see it in the window. Video played fine in CS3.
My graphics card is a PNY nVidia Quadro FX 570 with the 178.26 driver. My computer is a Dell Precision 670.
I recently completed a project where I had to trim about 48 QuickTime video files created in Premiere 2.0, compressed with Sorensen 3.
The files were then added to Encore, and a DVD was created. The DVD worked fine. At no time could I preview video, unless I opened the edited video in QuickTime.
This has also happened with still and AVIs.
At no time do any of the CS4 programs freeze or crash the system.
Has anyone had this happen to them. Is it a graphics card issue.... I can't seem to find any info on a similar problem.
Thanks.

Try turning off (or lowering) Hardware Acceleration for your graphics card.
At the Windows Desktop, Right Click and select "Properties". Under the "Settings" Tab, select "Advanced". Select the "Troubleshoot" Tab and reduce the Hardware Acceleration. You will need to restart you computer to see if it worked. First, try it with no Acceleration. If it works, try increasing the Hardwar Accelearation one notch at a time - rebooting your computer each time. \
I obtained this procedure from the Adobe Technical Staff.

Music Videos - have sound but video does not play in windows 7

I have windows 7 and the latest version of Itunes.
Most everything seems to be working ok, but when i try to play a music video i get the sound ok, but the video never starts, it just seems to stay on the first screen shot and never changes, even when the next video starts.

Not sure why, assume you got the 32-bit version if that is what you run, and this is quicktime? maybe you need a different codec or application for the movie format; or didn't associate the file type...
but if it deals with iTunes you will find more help in iTunes Windows:

Flash 8 encoder, No errors, but video does not play.

Hi I really hope I can get some advice on this situation I
have already wasted hours of time by encoding this project twice.
This is a 2 hour long wmv file. I am encoding it and can see the
video the entire time it encodes. Afterwards though if I load it
into VLC player or into flash and export, It doesnt play. I have
done another 2 hour file right before this one and it worked
perfectly. I tried re encoding the file and had the same outcome.
Can anyone offer any advice?

Not only is this problem (blank video on ALL encoded FLVs and
many downloaded FLVs) still unresolved, but the online tech support
makes it impossible to submit a support claim.
The CS3 Premium support link takes you to a page that only
has CS1 and CS2 listed.
Since those versions of CS didn't include Flash, you can't
pick Flash as the sub-product. So there's no correct way to submit
a query to tech support.
I keep trying, hoping someone will direct me to a useful
resource, but for the last 7 weeks I've gotten nowhere. I was
really hoping someone on this forum would have some suggestions,
but all the replies have been from other people with the same or
similar problem.
Unfortunately, this problem makes Flash Professional
completely useless for me, so I'm getting really desperate.

24 fps video does not play in CS5.5 source monitor without choppy motion

Problem: 24 fps video does not play in CS5.5 source monitor without choppy motion. 30 frame will play fine. I took the same 24fps shot, using the exact same setup parameters, and played it in my CS5.0. No problem. I did them side by side and checked to make sure everything was EXACLTY the same. The 24fps shot played smoothly in the CS5.0 source monitor. Can anyone tell me what the solution might be to get the CS5.5 to play smoothly? When I rendered it on the timeline in CS5.5 it played smoothly on the timeline. Perplexed.

Thanks Tood,
Here's the other info. I am running CS5.5 on a windows 7 ultimate 64bit (service pack 1) OS. All of the recent updates have been installed on both the OS and the CS5.5. The source footage is H.264.mov from a nikon d7000 at 1080p 24fps. My video card is an Nvida GeForce GTX285. My processor is an Intel Core i7 3.33GHz with 12GB ram. I am running no third party codecs or effects. I am using the Mercury Playback engine GPU accelerator. I am using a DSLR24 frame project setting.
Here is the problem: When I bring a 1920x1080 24fps.mov file into my DSLR24 frame project, or any project setting, in my CS5.5 and open it in the source monitor it plays as if it is trying to catch up; stuttering and skipping; it plays the same on the sequence timeline until I render it. I get no error messages. When I bring the exact same file into my CS5.0, with the exact same project settings, it plays perfectly in the source monitor and on the timeline without rendering. When I bring in a 1280x720 24fps.mov or any other size file into my CS5.5 in any project configuration, it plays perfectly smoothly. Everything plays smoothly without renedering in the source monitors of my CS5.0 and CS5.5 except for a 1920x1080 24fps.mov file in CS5.5. The exact one that I need to play there.
I would have no problem cutting in my CS5.0 if it intergrated with audition; which is why I bought the CS5.5.
Thanks,

Video does not play on external plasma monitor

Forum
Here is my situation.
I received footage captured with a Panasonic HVX-200, the specs are:
29.97fps, Compressor: DVCPRO HD 720p 60, frame size: 960x720
I use an Intensity Pro video card for monitoring on a 42" Samsung LCD. When the Intensity Pro card is set to HDTV 720p 60 (1280x720) the video does not play on the LCD, all I get is a still frame. When the Intensity Pro card is set to Intensity NTSC 720x486, it plays on the LCD but it's not at its best quality. The footage always plays fine in the FCP Canvas and Viewer windows.
Any ideas on what may be going on?

YOu need to be using DVCPRO HD 720p60 8-bit 59.94...and whatever DECKLINK header that is there for the card. I use the Kona 3, so mine is AJA KONA DVCPRO HD 720p60 8-bit 59.94. 59.94 because no matter what frame rate you shoot, the video stream is a 59.94 stream to the monitor.
I hope that does it. No experience with the Intensity.

Video does not play in Viewer or Canvas

Hi, I am new to Final Cut Pro. I just imported a couple of .mov files into FCP and have added them to a sequence. When I try to play the files on the Canvas, the video does not play (just shows the first frame). Same goes for Viewer window for an individual file. Help!

You can't really use H264 directly in Final Cut Pro without a lot of hassle.
Your audio has the wrong sampling rate. Digital audio for video is always 48000 kHz.
Use QuickTime Player or Compressor to export a copy of your files using the ProRes codec with the correct audio settings. Bring those into FCP.

Why video does not play when embedded in a PDF when viewed in Windows 8?

I have a situation where video must be embedded within the PDF document and it was working for us using older versions of IE and on 32 bit machines and using acrobat X. When the same file was tested on Windows 8 it looks good and behaves well except the embedded video does not play. The same video (.mp4) will play on the new OS if it is not embedded in the PDF.
Is this because the PDF is looking for a 32 bit flash player? Am I doing something wrong and/or is there a fix for this situation?

Are you watching the pdf file from Adobe Reader?
Windows 8 by default has a diferent reader for pdf files that does not support rich media elements.

This category is for iPod shuffle. Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle? If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

Emailed video plays on iPhone, but web download of same video does not play

I have an MPEG-4 video (mp4v format is all I can tell from VLC or QT Pro). If I email this video to myself on the iPhone 3G, it downloads from the mail server and plays just fine. However, this same video will not play via HTTP on the iPhone 3G. I have tried serving it from a PHP download script and just accessing it directly from a web directory.
Any ideas why the same file would behave differently when playing via these two different invocations? Does the iPhone require the file to have some kind of embedded streaming information to be played via HTTP?

take a look through this forum, and you'll see a couple of users that had to change the .htaccess on their webserver in order to stream video files.
