Monitor playback issues in PE9

Hi,
I am posting on behalf of a colleague and I wonder if anyone has encountered the following issue or has any advice about resolving it.
When he starts a new project in PE9 and captures via firewire the capture monitor plays back fine but when switching back to the timeline/preview monitor there is no video playback, it just stays on the first frame of the clip in the timeline.
Similarly if he opens an existing project the timeline/preview monitor video playback is fine but if the capture window is then opened there is no video playback in that.
The only way around it is to reboot the PC and then start again with the required monitor.
In both instances the audio plays back fine.
The playback seems fine when scrubbing along the timeline.
This is a recent development, both capture and preview monitors used to function without a problem.
It's not an Windows or Adobe update issue as the PC is not connected to the internet.
It's a Dell PC, Win7 64bit, Intel i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, nVidia graphics card, 2TB hard drive.
Any help or advice would be most appreciated.

"It's not an Windows or Adobe update issue as the PC is not connected to the internet."
Actually, that could be part of the issue. You NEED to be connected to the internet and get all of the necessary updates. Even Windows 7 is on SP1 -- and your graphics card driver is probably a year out of date, even if the computer is brand new.
Other possible issues:
You don't say, but is this a miniDV camcorder connected by FireWire?
Are you capturing to your C drive or to a second hard drive?
You've got a pretty fast processor and it should fly with miniDV video. But without any operating system or Adobe or nVidia updates -- or the requisite latest version of Quicktime -- there's no telling what's going on with your configuration!

  • Playback Issues with multiple framerates and Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme

    I recently swapped by AJA Kona Card for a Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme in order to get external monitoring in DaVinci Resolve.
    I'm working in a 1080p 23.976 project that includes some 29.97 SD and HD footage. When loading this 29.97fps footage into my source footage, I periodically encounter frozen playback (The play triangle in my toolbar becomes a square symbol and remains that way). From there I am unable to playback any footage in any timeline, and requires a full system shutdown to return to normal! The problem is seemingly intermitent, with successful playback happening sometimes.
    The 29.97 footage was DVCPRO, I attempted to transcode to Prores to troubleshoot. No dice. I believe it to be an issue related to the Decklink's inability to handle multiple framerates on-the-fly but wanted to submit here, too. I've also experienced intermittent sync delays on my broadcast monitor.
    Decklink Driver 10.0
    Premiere CC 7.2.1
    Mac OSX 10.9.2 (same problem pre-mavericks)

    Hi Andy,
    You should not have any issues with Blackmagic handling multiple formats on the fly. However, I believe the frozen playback issues your describing is related to the Desktop Video 10 driver. I suggest rolling back to 9.3.3 for the time being. Blackmagic is looking into this issue now.

  • Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky after resintall of operating system and CS5

    PROBLEM: Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky
    This had NOT been an issue prior to reinstalling the operating system and all software.  I have read numerous articles on the forums and have tried everything I can find...with no results.
    STEPS TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM:
    I have scoured the articles here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=choppy%20video&cat=support&pr oduct=premierepro and others at Cretive Cow
    I have installed all updates for CS5 Master Collection, immediately following a fresh install of the operating system and SC5 Master Collection.
    I have ensured that sequence settings match resolution and frame rates of footage - the problem persists.
    I have tested by importing both standard def AVI files created from tape and high def SONY MP4 files - the problem persists.
    I have ensured the latest Video drivers are installed (clean installation selected, so that the Windows default would be removed) - the problem persists.
    I have tried the 3D settings in NVIDIA control panel | Program Settings tab... selected Adobe Premiere Pro from the drop down menu | and chaged 'Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration from the value of 'Multiple Display performance' to the value of 'single display performance'; although, I ran two monitors before using this latest NVIDIA video driver and I didn't experience this jerky footage issue - the problem persisted after affecting that change; so, I switched it back. 
    Since I have 96 GB of RAM, I don't use a pagefile.  A zero MB page file is the same setting I had prior to rebuilding the C:  Regardless of whether I have a pagefile or not, the problem persists.
    I have tried creating a fresh user profile, where the user profile is created on the C: drive by default; and, where I left it there on C: to test for the jerky playback in a new PrPR project  - the problem persists.
    Regarding the C: (system drive) and why I reinstalled everything, it had become unstable and was locking up.  I ran DISK ERROR CHECKING with the FIX parameter and the system was still locking up on me.  Keep in mind that the System drive is a solid state drive.  Anyhow, I had no choice but to dive in and reinstall everything.  I wiped the system partition of the SSD using quick format and started installing the operating system.  Now, I've read the CLAIM that this cuases performance issues; but, the only place I see issues is in the video monitor playback in PrPr.  Everything else - Office applications...printing...browsing the Internet...works just fine, everything is responsive, whereas, I couldn't do ANYTHING with it before.

    I'VE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM!
    PREFACE:
    OK, I am hoping that through this week-long Operating-System-and-Software-reinatalltion excerise of mine, I have revealed something that everyone -- whom have been cursing Adobe over -- can apply to their systems to resolve this jerky video problem within PremierePro CS5 (and quite possibly other versions, too). 
    If you've read my post above, you've seen all the steps I've taken to resolve the problem.  I've read many posts, some of which have mentioned  hardware upgrade / opitmization steps that one may take to enhance performance, and hopefully resolve the problem.  I've read where people have taken these steps and have still experienced the problem...and then they curse Adobe.  Fer-shame, fer-shame, fer-shame! (nod to Gomer Pyle). 
    In my case, I knew it wasn't an Adobe issue, as it had worked flawlessly before; and, it wouldn't require a hardware upgrade or reconfigureation, as my system is completely maxed out with two processors, a system drive and a hardware RAID5 array, a CUDA-suported nVIDIA 4800 FX card, and 96 GB of RAM.  bla bla bla, puke...whatever.  Bottom line is this:
    It's not a software issue.  It's not and Adobe issue; and Gawd no!  It's NOT a PC vs. Mac issue!  HA HA.  The software had worked swimmingly well prior to the reinstallation / 'lobotomy' I perfomed on the system drive.
    SOLUTION FOR ME:
    Download and install the updated drivers for the motherboard.  Mine is an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC.  Intel has an INTEL DRIVER UPDATE UTILITY which automatically scaned my Intel system and identified drivers which needed updating.  A very handy, time-saving tool!!!  Here's the URL: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu
    The scan revealed two Intel drivers needing an update:
    Intel Chipset
    Wired Networking
    and one non-intel driver:
    Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-fi
    I downloaded and installed these three drivers, rebooted, and tested PremierePro, and was extatic to find this resolved the problem.
    If you have a motherboard from another manufacturer, then you may want to navigate over to their wibsite to locate chipset and other updated drivers for your motherboard. 
    ROOT CAUSE:
    While Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate was able to install certain default drivers during the Operating System installation (keeping in mind that this was done on an Intel Solid State Drive that I formatted using Quick Format) these default chipset drivers apparently weren't current and were ultimately the root cuase of the jerky video playback within PremierePro CS5.

  • [bug?] playback issues with QT browser plugin, any workarounds?

    I've noticed a playback issue with media files using the quicktime plugin (currently v7.1.3) with Firefox 1.5.0.x and now Firefox 2.0 on Windows XP (SP2):
    Description:
    When I open a media file in a separate tab or window, audio playback cuts out when I switch focus away from the tab or window (i.e. when it runs in the background). When I put the tab/window in the foreground again, playing resumes.
    Reproducible: Always
    Steps to Reproduce:
    1. Open an mp3 file with quicktime plugin in a new tab
    2. Switch focus to some other tab or firefox window
    Expected Results:
    Audio playback should continue in the background.
    Actual Results:
    Audio playback cuts out and resumes once you click on the tab containing the plugin or if you hover over it with the cursor. The cutting and resuming out doesn't happen right away but after a short delay, suggesting that it might have something to do with thread prioritization.
    The file is completely buffered by quicktime, this is not about connection speed or bandwidth issues.
    Opening the link to the same file with right-click->Open Link in External Application works well.
    Someone else has filed a bug report against Firefox about this issue here:
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339449
    I wouldn't be surprised if this turns out not to be an issue with Gecko but with QuickTime.
    Can other users confirm this on XP? Is this a known QuickTime bug? Are there fixes or workarounds?
    Windows XP

    Yeah I had that thought as well but no joy. It works for the player but it doesn't solve my plugin problem. It really seems to be something about prioritizing, the way the audio cuts in and out - notice how it takes a few fractions of a second before a process loses its CPU cycles when you click away from it? You can observe this with System Monitor on the Mac or Linux or process explorer on XP. That's how the audio is cutting out and back in. I still think it's probably a bug/'feature' either with Gecko, the Firefox browser engine, or with the QT plugin..

  • Final Cut playback issues...help please!

    I've been running FCP7 on my Mac Pro for over a year now with no issues.
    Recently I purchased a pair of Dell U2410 Monitors to work on, and this is when I really began to notice playback issues in FCP. Although I just started noticing it with the new monitors, I have a feeling it is related to my FCP or my graphics card. The issue ONLY happens within FCP, video plays fine once exported.
    Specs on the machine:
    Mac Pro 3,1
    2 x 2.8 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon
    10gb RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 - less than 6 months old.
    Here is a link to the video playback compared to the exported QT. As you can see there is some crazy horizontal issues with the video playback. It happens with all formats and resolutions of video.
    I've tried trashing prefs and reinstalling FCP with no luck. It happens all over the area of the video, not just top or bottom. Sorry I had to film it because it's not visible any other way. This happens with files playing off my main HD and external drives.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, it's really a pain to edit when the playback is like this. And no, I don't have Apple Care and am too late to get it:(

    Are you using one of these computer monitors in a Desktop Cinema Display mode?
    If so, this is not the way to monitor your material for any QC. You need a qualified device to export a video signal to a proper monitor.
    You could use one the 2410s to see what things look like if fed through a Matrox MXO2 mini.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 playback issues & graphics glitches

    Hi everyone.
    For a few days now (not sure whether it's been like this since the latest update) I have been experiencing serious playback issues and graphics glitches with Premiere Pro CS6. I'm on a Macbook Pro Retina.
    Please see attached screenshot for reference. What happens is, I start Premiere - it works fine for a few minutes, but at some point things start to go wrong. The program monitor doesn't show anything anymore, even though the playhead is moving and I get audio.
    Sometimes, either the program monitor or the source monitor displays some other part of the Premiere UI or even OSX Finder windows/ other applications like safari. What you are seing in the screenshot is a glitch showing a part of the source window within the program window.
    Once this happens, there's nothing I can do but to restart Premiere.
    Does anyone else have these kinds of issues?
    Premiere is becoming unusable for me at the moment, which is a serious issue since this is my primary NLE.
    What also happens from time to time is the following: i start up my project, and once i do anything like moving the playhead, i receive the following error message "a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down" which then does exactly what it says. this will happen repeateadly until i restart my computer.
    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the forum. 
    Make sure you have the latest driver for your video card, and if you're using hardware mercury playback, then make sure you have the latest CUDA drivers from nvidia.  If that doesn't work, then please answer the questions here as completely as you can:

  • Premiere Pro CC playback issue

    I'm running premiere pro CC on a brand new mac pro, and am experiencing playback issues after rendering video. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why this happens, but I do notice it when layering multiple video tracks. When the rendered video is playedback, it seems to drop frames in the program monitor. Essentially, it looks like a flicker effect has been applied, and the video will cut out rapidly, and a black screen with apear every other frame. This stops randomly, and normal playback resumes.
    I've had this issue working with Red footage, Canon DSLR footage and GoPro footage... Footage type doesn't seem to affect it. It doesn't necessairly happen when a transition or edit has been applied... I can't figure out any sort of cause.
    Any insight would be much appreciated.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Mac Playback Issues

    I've searched for similar issues, and while I found plenty of playback issues, I didn't see anything like what I'm experiencing.
    MacPro Quad-Core Xeon 2.26 x2 (8b cores)
    12 GB ram
    OS 10.6.8 (can't update this due to other infrastructure)
    Nvidia GeForce GT 120
    FAST Fiber attached SAN
    Local Raid0 media drive
    I know the GPU isn't compatible with the Mercury hardware acceleration.
    I've been a Premiere Pro user since version 2 and have kept current through the years.  I'm happily running CS5.5 on PC's in my home office.  I recently installed the trial version of CS6 on my Mac at work to evaluate for that environment, and I'm pulling my hair out trying to get over some basic issues.  I have no problems with Media Encoder or AE. 
    In Premiere using preview or program (timeline), playback stops after roughly a second...  though it varies by several frames each time.  I tested this with various video files, .wav files, stills (jpeg, psd), etc.  I even tested with black video and bars generated inside Premiere.  The problem persists with all of the above...  click play, and playback stops after about a second.  Scrubbing works great...  I've tried different playback resolutions.  I'm not using any 3rd party monitoring devices or I/O cards on this machine.
    I have FCP 7 installed on the same machine and have no trouble editing and playing 1080i video all day long.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance! 

    The above suggestion worked for me briefly, but the problem keeps re-occuring. 
    I too am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, NVIDIA gfx card (8800) and an ATI Radeon 5500.
    Premiere played back fine in Lion and Mountain Lion, but I downgraded because I have old quicktime files and Final Cut 7 projects that i need to work with so Lion is not an option for me.
    Bizarre behavior if you ask me.
    Any help on this?

  • Flash Playback Issues (atypical problem)

    Equipment/Software:
    - Late 2013 Macbook Pro Retina
    - Mavericks 10.9
    - Safari 7
    - Flash 13
    - All updates installed (OS X + software)
    Playback Issue:
    Flash videos begin normally, but then the CPU jumps to about 110% within the first 10 seconds or so. After the CPU jump, video playback begins to stutter severely, making the content unwatchable. Audio playback doesn't appear to be affected. When the CPU jumps and the video begins to stutter, the webpage often freezes and I have to quit Flash via Activity Monitor to regain control (i.e., scrolling, clicking, etc.). This happens across browsers (Safari, Firefox, Chrome), although I use Safari almost exclusively.
    This only affects some Flash videos, but not all of them. I have no idea why. The problematic videos play fine on my desktop PC, so it's not a problem with the website.
    Perhaps this is a second problem, but I'm also unable to watch some Flash-based streams in fullscreen mode. When I click fullscreen, the video size remains the same, but it moves to the top-left corner of the screen while everything else turns to white. Again, on my desktop PC, I do not experience this issue at all; the exact same stream will adjust to fullscreen mode without issue. I have a 27" monitor on my desktop PC and a retina screen on my Macbook Pro.
    Attempted Solutions (Failed):
    - Uninstalling/reinstalling Flash dozens of times
    - Reset Safari
    - Clear PRAM
    - Repair Disk Permissions
    - Praying to non-existent deity
    Something so simple effectively renders 70% of the internet useless. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello jferreir,
    It sounds like you are unable to watch streaming flash based video in Safari despite some great troubleshooting. I would next use the troubleshooting from the following article to help resolve the issue:

  • IPhone 5 music playback issues (after iOS 8 upgrade)

    Hi,
    After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 I have had many playback issues with my Music. Songs randomly skipping or stopping without even doing anything are some of the issues. Also sometimes when I am listening to a song it would fast forward the music.
    P.S. I don't sync my music, I just manually add content.
    Is there any way I can fix this problem?
    Thanks

  • Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

    We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
    We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
    When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
    Here is more technical info:
    Stuttering flv playback issue:
    Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
    Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
    Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
    Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
    We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
    We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
    We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
    Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
    Have also posted in the Director Forum.
    Any help much appreciated!

    Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
    Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better.  If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
    You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
    Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS).  If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
    Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
    Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
    Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
    Try compressing the flv with different software.  FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

  • Weird Playback Issue...

    I have this weird playback issue with iTunes for Windows. I am using Vista and I think the cause of the problem is that I am using MacDrive to access my OS X partition. But anyways, on with the problem. So the problem is that when I play a song, the song will play for like 5 seconds and then it will just go the next song. This song will do the same thing, and so-on and so-forth. Then, during this time, my Mac formatted hard drive is unavailable while iTunes is running. In "My Computer" the drive is there, but when I try to open it, Explorer freezes. Then, when I exit iTunes, it doesn't really exit. It still shows up in the task manager and when I try to end the process, it just plain doesn't end. I have to restart my computer to gain full use of it again. After the restart I can access my Mac disks, but once I start iTunes and try to play a song, I get the same thing again. And in case thats not weird enough, I can play the MP3's in WMP fine, and they will also play in iTunes fine if I actually open them, rather than just select them from my library. If I go to file open and select a song on my Mac drive, it will play fine, but then once I try to play a song from my library, I get caught in that vicious cycle. Anyone else had this problem or anything? Thanks. Also, is there an alternative program to Mac Drive that will allow me to read HFS partitions?

    Post more about your situation... what format is the video, and where are you storing the video files? i.e., on a disk other than your startup disk? The adobe install is likely not the problem... I run adobe software along side FCS on about 75 workstations, and don't see issues like you describe.
    Wavy? not accurate? what are you talking about?

  • ITunes 10.6/Quicktime 7 1080p playback issue/frame skipping

    I have a playback issue with the 1080p videos on the recent version of iTunes - 10.6. I also tried playing the same videos on Quicktime where I was able to find that the videos were playing at around 20fps as opposed to their normal rate - 24fps~25fps.
    I seem to barely meet the 1080p playback requirements on iTunes, but I know that I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Window Media Player(WMP) 12 without any issues. Aside from WMP, I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Youtube whenever hardware acceleration is enabled. I assume that WMP utilizes hardware acceleration as well.
    The playback issue/frame skipping is probably caused by iTunes 10.6 not using hardware acceleration.

  • WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

    hi slideaway!
    my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
    good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

    I am having playback issues in Premiere Pro CC 2014 with footage shot on my Canon C100 (29.97 fps).  It was happening after doing a straight import and creating a sequence using "new item".  Then, after reading some other threads here and elsewhere,  I interpreted the footage so premiere would see it as progressive (no fields) rather than interlaced, but that doe not seem to help.  It is even doing it when I play at 1/4 resolution.  The only solution seems to be to quit and restart and reopen the project.  Then it works temporarily for a little while but not long enough to actually edit.  I have done projects in Premiere with C100 footage in the past and have not experience this level of difficulty.
    My Media Cache is not going to the startup diskc(it is gong to the right place)
    I am on a Mac 2.66 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    OS X 10.8.5
    10GB 1066 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
    Please help - very frustrated.  If the solution is to transcode, it sort of kills the value of premiere in many ways.

    Hi,
    This might help :
    Go to File > Project Settings > General and change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only. Click OK and select Delete Previews.
    Thanks,
