Monitor window problems in CS4?

I just upgraded to CS4 from an older version.  I have Premiere Pro 4.2.1.  I'm using it on a Windows XP machine.
The monitor window is not behaving at all as expected.
I imported a Photoshop file to use as a still for a few seconds.  The thumbnail in the upper left corner of the project window looks fine, but the colors in the monitor window are really bizarre.  For example, the white background of the Photoshop file is displayed in the monitor window as a horrid salmon color.  The places that should be red in the Photoshop file display in the monitor window as royal blue.  I tried exporitng the sequence to an AVI file, and the colors came out fine in the AVI file.  So the problem appears to be confined to the behavior of the monitor window.
When I move the slider back and forth in the timeline window, I would expect the monitor window to display whichever frame I'm passing over.  But it doesn't.  It'll update the view (with incorrect colors) when I pass the slider in the Timeline window over a still, but if I pass the slider over a clip, it just preserves the display of the most-recently-displayed still.
I have also noticed that there is no longer a help file local on my hard disk - when I click o nthe "help" choice from the menu bar, and then pick "Adobe Premier Pro Help", instead of accessing a local help file, it goes out to Adobe's web site.  This was EXTREMELY annoying when I was trying to use this stuff on an airplane without web access!  How am I supposed to get help when I don't have Internet access?????
Can anybody point me in the right direction to solve these problems?

The links in this ARTICLE might prove useful. Most often, this is caused by either an outdated video driver, or perhaps a setting for Hardware Acceleration, OpenGL, or similar.
Also, as Harm mentions, make sure that your PSD is RGB 8-bit, and is also appropriately Scaled in PS to near the Frame Size of the Project. Usually, CMYK, or 16-bit PSD's will yield error messages.
Good luck,
Hunt

  • Monitor/window problems

    My little one year old likes to watch his daddy or mommy on our Macs. He also likes to come over and start "whacking",on the keyboard. Today when he did it, he also did something that now makes my window jump all over the place. The window moves in the opposite direction of the curser. It's staring to give me a headache too! Does anybody have a solution to this problem?

    Hi Roger
    I think you might be talking about Exposé, which is OS X's window management application. You can turn it off in System Preferences, under Dashboard/Exposé - just set all the active screen corners and keyboard shortcuts to "-" to disable it. (Or, configure it to your own preference.)
    Personally, I find the feature very useful, but I agree that it can be quite confusing if you haven't set up the preferences yourself.

  • CS4 Premiere Pro Monitor Window, Again

    I posted several days ago about the problems I'm having with displaying video in Encore and Premiere Pro in CS4.  This is incrediblyl frustrating because my older versions of these products always worked fine, and still do.
    I've come across an insight:
    AVI files that were created by using "export movie" in my older version of Premiere Pro give me a variety of problems when trying to display them in the monitor window of the CS4 version of Premiere Pro.   For example, the monitor window might be teal when I first move a clip to a sequnce.  Then I click on the mintor window with my mouse and the teal is replaced by the correct image from the clip.  But then I click the "play" icon below the monitor window and it becomes mostly teal, but with a few hash marks just to the right of center.  At other times, the display has been different.
    AVI files that were created by using the codec of Microsoft Video 1 seem to display fine in the CS4 version of Premiere Pro.  I approached this two different ways.  In one example, I took a clip that displayed fine in my older version of Premiere but looked like a mess in the CS4 version, and I used VirtualDub to created a converted version of it using the codec Microsoft Video 1.  PPro CS4 was able to import and display the version created within VirtualDub with the Microsoft Video 1 codec perfectly.  Then I took another clip that had display problems in Premiere Pro CS4, and used the "export" feature within Premiere Pro CS4 to export it to AVI, using the Microsoft Video 1 codec. I then imported that output file into Premier Pro CS4, and that too displayed perfectly within Premiere Pro.
    My system config:
    CS4 version of Premiere Pro, fully registered.  This was an "upgrade" version, installed on a machine that had an older version of CS4
    Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 as operating system
    Sony Vaio laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo CPU
    2.93 gig of RAM
    I tried going to Sony's web site in search of updated display drivers, but that section of the site appears to not be working.  I also tried going through the control panel's device driver dialogue and clicking "update driver" and that didn't work either.  So I'm stuck with the driver versions that I currently have.
    But I wonder, are my device drivers really the problem?  I'm skeptical, because of the fact that AVI files created using the Microsoft Video 1 codec don't have the problem.
    So how can I get the CS4 version of Premiere Pro to properly display AVI files created by my older version of Premiere Pro?  I really don't want to do a labor-intensive effort of converting all my clips in all my projects to Microsoft Video 1 just to work around the poor quality assurance that appears to have been done by Premiere Pro CS4's development team.

    In Premiere Pro CS4, if I pick the dialogue for File > Export > Media, it takes me to an "Export Settings" window which contains an option to select which codec to use.  On my computer, there are 13 choices, including Cinepak Codec by Radius, DV (24p Advanced), DV NTSC, DV PAL, Indeo Video 5.10, Intel Indeo(R) Video R3.2, Intel Indeo Video 4.5, Intel IYUV Codec, Microsoft RLE, Microsoft Video 1, Microsoft Windows Media Video 9, Uncompressed UYVY 422 8-bit, and V210 10-bit YUV.
    I don't know which codec my older version of Premiere Pro uses to generate AVI files when I use its "Export Movie" option.  I just know that whatever it does, ends up displaying horribly in the CS4 version opf Premiere Pro.  However, using either VirtualDub or Premiere Pro CS4 to rewrite the AVI file using the Microsoft Video 1 codec results in an AVI file that the CS4 version of Premiere Pro can play back without problem.
    The distortion in the monitor window is different from one clip to the next.  I'll post a few examples.  In all cases, the AVI's were generated by the older version of Premiere Pro, using the "Export Movie" option.
    Example Number 1
    While playback is occurring (note that this one shows up as salmon-colored, which is another thing that has happened on a number of my attempts with other clips as well):
    However, if I click on the square icon to make playback stop, the colors in the monitor window display properly when it stops.  In this example, the clip is black and white, and here's how it looks (ie, the correct colors) after I have clicked on stop.
    I'll post another message showing examples from another clip.

  • CS4-How do I remove a split screen in the Program monitor window?

    I have Pro CS4 on a vista 64 OS. I am using the Mainstream encoders and my Program monitor window switches to a split screen every time I play the timeline. When I stop the playback, the screen returns to normal full screen with the last frame showing. When I start the playback again, the screen splits into two screens squishing the actual playback window to the left part of the monitor window. Any Ideas? Thanks.

    I found the solution by changing my quality settings (in the top right hand corner of the program display window) from "Automatic Quality" to "Highest Quality".
    I am not sure why it affects the display in this manner, but it just works this way and it is repeatable.
    I am working with 50 Mb MXF files from a Sony PDW900 HD camera.I use the Mainstream codecs to inport the files. I am using a Nvidia Quadro CX as a video card with the latest drivers. I first thought that the Mainstream codecs were affecting the display somehow, but then again, I do not remember changing these display settings. Thanks for the suggestions, I appreciate the response just the same...

  • Dual Monitors Windows 7 Problems

    Ok, this problem is getting really annoying and I think its a problem with windows 7 itself and not my computer.
    Basically I have a dual monitor setup with the left hand monitor as my secondary and right hand monitor as my primary.  Whenever I have an application with any graphics on it at all such as a progress bar on my left hand monitor moving windows around becomes laggy and juddery, yet this doesn't happen when the graphical app is on my primary monitor!

    removing sound card and re-installing windows from scratch
    upgraded my PSU
    Thanks for your help!

    (Latest update) This is the best I can do to alleviate the problem, and does reduce its severity immensely, but I found myself still noticing some slight playback glitches in videos on my second monitor which probably also translate to anything else with movement. I have tested with a panning scene in one of my videos and there is a subtle micro-stutter on my second monitor which I can find no way to fix. This doesn't occur if outputting to a single display, one or the other, nor does it occur when playing the video on my primary monitor in a dual-monitor configuration. Note that when I say "primary monitor", I am not referring to the monitor Windows has marked as primary, but my actual monitor rather than TV. In a dual-monitor configuration, this micro-stutter will only occur when playing video on my right monitor (TV), regardless of settings or which ports the monitors are connected to on the GPU. The micro-stutter occurs with no relation to the activity on the other screen, as it can be completely still. I can confirm the micro-stutter does not occur at all with Desktop Window Manager (Aero) disabled. In short, this is a nightmare.
    (Note that this micro-stutter is equally replicable in the 182.50 (WDDM1.1-less) driver, meaning there is no way to solve it other than disabling Aero or outputting to a single monitor.)
    I think I've solved the problem.. for me, anyway. I've divided this into short answer and "long answer", which is closer to a stream of consciousness in some ways, as I found out about Force10Level9 as I was writing.
    The short version:
    I've found some registry keys which seem to have fixed the problem for me. I haven't experienced any side effects, but use the tweaks at your own risk!
    I don't know exactly what they do. This comes from a lot of.. experimentation. I believe FrameRateMin tells the Desktop Window Manager that it's crucial to try to keep the framerate at or above the value specified (more details below), and Force10Level9 sounds like it forces DWM to use DirectX 9. I'm fairly certain about the former, not as certain about the latter, but together they do wonders.
    You can view the fix below. You can then save it as a .reg file and import it into your registry. Restart the Desktop Window Manager service or reboot to see the changes.
    Fix: http://pastebin.com/FFDbubw9
    Undo: http://pastebin.com/zA8CJY06
    (P.S. Just ran a FurMark test between fix applied and no fix. No difference in performance, with an inactive secondary monitor. I also noticed no difference in Physical Memory usage as reported by Task Manager. YMMV, let me know if you have any side effects.)
    (P.P.S. The screen fade that happens when you log in/out is just as choppy as before (or if it wasn't choppy for you, that shouldn't have changed). Oh well, how often do we see that thing, anyway? :))
    By the way, it appears 10Level9 is Windows 7's emulation platform for running DX10 on DX9 hardware. It's reported to be at least a 0.5x performance hit, so it's surprising that it actually makes Aero run better. If this article is anything to go by, Force10Level9 makes Aero run exactly the same as it does with older WDDM 1.0-only drivers like 182.50: http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=637&pgno=1
    The long version:
    Well... I was able to do one more thing.
    There is an undocumented registry key which allows you to fine-tune the Desktop Window Manager's scheduling. Unfortunately, all of its values seem to be defunct in the final version of Windows 7 we all use today... except one: FrameRateMin.
    From what I gather, the Desktop Window Manager (Aero) carefully monitors the framerate it is able to achieve, and when it can't measure up to its own expectations, it will perform a "step down", or framerate reduction, and maintain this lower framerate for a given period of time (at one time specifiable with a registry value) before trying again at maximum speed.
    I presume it does all this to keep things looking "smooth".
    The problem is, in most cases, it doesn't help, and actually prolongs the stuttering duration. By "in most cases", I mean in every case it's happened in my personal usage of my Windows 7 computers.
    So what helped me was setting this FrameRateMin value to 60. That way, the Desktop Window Manager considers anything under 60fps to be unacceptable and will not remain at a lower framerate for purposes of perceived smoothness. Thus, the stuttering will take up as little time as possible, making it nearly unnoticeable most of the time.
    Keep in mind DWM shouldn't be having performance problems to begin with, but apparently in some cases, like with my particular hardware (desktop and laptop) and the latest NVIDIA drivers, it does.
    Down to brass tacks. The registry key is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\DWM\Schedule. The value is FrameRateMin, a DWORD representing the minimum framerate DWM will consider as acceptable. I set it to 60, but you can set it to whatever you want.
    To repeat, this WILL NOT prevent Aero from ever getting below the framerate you specify; it simply prevents Aero from retaining a lower framerate after a stutter in order to give the illusion of smoothness (an illusion which fails).
    I imagine the main reason it fails so spectacularly in my usage is because I watch a lot of videos which play back at 24fps. Such a framerate plays back terribly with a 30Hz refresh rate, which is what Aero would reduce itself to for extended lengths of time. Now, performance hiccups are minimal, but sadly still existent.
    So this isn't a solution, but it does help. I am still uncertain of where the problem lies, considering GPU-Z shows graphics card loads to be as low as always when it's happening.
    Oh, and I found one more registry value. This one is far more important. :) It solves the problem for me entirely, from what I can tell.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Avalon.Graphics
    add the DWORD value Force10Level9 with a value of 1.
    I haven't noticed any side effects, just smooth performance.
    Apply these tweaks at your own risk!

  • Audio,  Premiere Elements 13 (Trial), Samsung Ultrabook NP730U3E with Windows 8.1 ! The problem: If I transfer a clip  from the monitor window to the timeline the audio disapears

    On the moment that I transfer a scene from the monitor window to the timeline, my audio disapears. In the monitor window the sound is playing well. How can I solve this problem ?

    gertdd
    Please explain.
    You cannot move a clip from the Edit area monitor to the Timeline. When you write "monitor window", are you referring to the Preview Window that opens when you double click a file's thumbnail in Project Assets?
    If that is the case, are you waiting for the audio imported to Project Assets to conform fully before you start to work with the import? See bottom right of Expert workspace and the appearance of a progress bar. See any conforming going on there?
    Do you get sound for your clip if you drag it from Project Assets to the Timeline Video Track 1/Audio Track 1 rather than if you drag a trim from the Preview Window to the Timeline (as it appears you are doing).
    Please review and consider, and then let me know if I have misinterpreted any of your problem description.
    The answers will be in the details.
    We will be watching for those details to help us help you.
    Thank you.

  • Color Problems with CS4 Upgrade

    I recently upgraded to CS4 and have been experiencing the following problem. When I open an image from ACR to PS CS4 it looks absolutely nothing like it did in ACR. If I was to describe it, it would be that the image has an overall red tint when viewed in CS4. If I then save this image as a PSD file, and then open it in PS CS3 it matches the CS4 ACR image. So, what have I got set wrong in PS CS4 (which is still all of the default settings)?

    I've used dual monitors for many years. I see absolutely no change when moving any image from one monitor to another in Photoshop 7.0.1 through 11 (CS4). Photoshop is smart enough to read the profile for each monitor on the fly.
    HI> Although I'm new to the Mac platform, that has been my experience also.
    Even when I place half of the image in one monitor and the other half in the other one, Photoshop uses the correct monitor for each respective half of the image.
    HI> I agree, for CS3 and Lightroom that is how it works for me too.
    My response to Ray's question ("Where does photoshop assign a primary monitor?") has absolutely nothing to do with monitor profiles, only with which monitor will be the primary monitor, i.e. the one that hosts the menu bar with the Apple menu.
    That is what you can change in the Display Preferences > Arrangement (Mac System Preferences).
    HI> Correct and I agree. But I believe Ray had that setup correctly to begin with, unless I did not understand him.
    The one thing that did change in CS4 is that image files now will always open on the primary monitor. In previous versions of Photoshop, you could just move an image to the secondary monitor, close it, and it or the next image would open on your secondary monitor too. That is not possible in CS4, at least in the current version.
    HI> My observation as well.
    However, the monitor profile used on each monitor respectively remains the correct one as set in Display Preferences > Color.
    Photoshop knows how to apply each monitor profile to each monitor, unless the user has messed that up in Display Preferences > Color.
    HI> As stated, CS3 and Lightroom do apply colors correctly. CS4 does not.
    In Edit > Color Settings, you should be set to the Adobe Color Engine (ACE), not to Color Sync.
    HI> All my observations with CS4 have used ACE. I was getting frustrated and the ColorSync thing was an experiment to see if anything changed.
    In my experience, the Apple CMM, Color Sync, has been unreliable for a long time. I just avoid it. (There are other legitimate uses for the ColorSync Utility, such as repairing profiles [Profile First Aid], visualizing and comparing their gamuts, etc.)
    If both monitors are accurately calibrated and profiled, and if the appropriate monitor profiles are selected for each monitor separately in Display Preferences > Color, Photoshop will use them correctly on each monitor, in my experience.
    HI> CS4 does not seem to work the same way. In fact, if you bring up the images in Bridge CS4 on my setup, the filmstrip version of the image will have the proper color profile (when I move it back and forth from one monitor to the other) and the selected preview image will not! I believe this is a bug in CS4! CS4 should apply the same color profile to each image in Bridge regardless of which monitor I move the window to.
    Something is going wrong in Ray's setup, but there are not enough details to tell what. Screen shots of all the settings would be helpful.
    HI> I'm not sure how your monitors are setup. Perhaps you have two monitors that are nearly the same and therefore your color profiles are close enough to not see the difference that Ray and I see. My monitors are setup correctly and I believe that Ray's are too.
    Even the cheapest calibrator puck will produce a more accurate profile than can be achieved through Apple's built-in or any other eyeball calibrator like SuperCal.
    HI> I use Graytag McBeth. However, even if I did not use any calibration, I should see the same results in the same window for Bridge CS4, regardless of how far the profiles were off! Comparing that with CS3 and Lightroom makes me believe that this is a software bug in CS4 not a setup issue.

  • How do I get an image in the Encore CS6 monitor window? Audio's fine.

    First time Encore user. Running its CS6 version alongside PP CC 2014. Exported media as mpg2-dvd from PP, imported as timeline with the .wav into Encore as suggested here: Adobe TV
    I get sound but no image in the monitor window. The m2v file plays back in VLC, but no image in QT, and attempted playback gets me spinning beach balls.
    Thoughts? Just need to burn a DVD for client delivery tomorrow. Yes, a DVD.
    I'm running osx 10.9.5, 2.7GHz i7/16GB RAM MBP with a couple of SSDs in it, and a Thunderbolt RAID 1 for media.
    Thanks for any leads.

    Thanks for your reply. I believe the purpose of Photo Stream on Apple TV is quite different, obviously you can use Photo Stream as a screen saver, but since Apple TV doesn't have a hard drive you can't download your Photo Stream pictures onto the device. This creates a problem when you have an Apple TV at two different locations (Home sharing wouldn't work), so I want to know if I can move a picture back into PhotoStream after 30 days and the system will allow it. Please help! Thanks!

  • Wierd monitor compatibility problem

    Hi all,
    Got a wierd monitor compatibility problem. G3 works fine on a sony 21" CRT.
    Connected it to a Daytec 15" CRT which works fine with a windows 98 PC.
    With the G3 I get the apple and the spinning up logo then the screen just goes blank.
    Is this monitor PC only or something? It is an old monitor but I thought any monitor should work
    if the vga connector fits?

    So you are using this directly plugged into the stock Display card in a Blue & White G3 with NO adapter?
    The Mac is probably still set for a higher resolution that the SONY can do, and has not noticed the display has changed.
    Video pros says that Video can be plugged and unplugged all day long with no bad effects. If your old display is still around, try setting it to 640 by 480, save changes, and swap the other one in "live" at that resolution.
    Other tricks:
    Reset the PRAM. This will send you back to a default setting while booting up, but may change when the system becomes active.
    Boot from a CD. This ignores the settings on your Hard drive, and boots to a very simple resolution like 640 by 480 to ensure that Most Macs can start up with it.

  • Can't resize video in Sequence monitor window anymore ???

    OK Help... I have been working on a project in CS4 and the project settings are HD 1080. I have been able to bring in other SD clips and simply "click" on the video in the monitor window and a box comes up around the video and I can resize it and then render and it looks acceptable. This works if I want to shrink it and have a black border also. Now the ability to do this is GONE ! Same computer - same everything. I click and there is no box or ability to re-size. Only thing I ever did was load up another project at one time in standard DV - NTSC and encoded with Encore.  Whats Wrong

    Glad that you found it. You can also do the same thing with the Bounding Box, if you open the Effects Control Panel, and then click on the name Motion in the Effects list there, and you'll get a Bounding Box in the Program Panel. Personally, I like the numerical method, but some like the Bounding Box.

  • Clips do not play in monitor window

    Hi
    Since adding some extra clips to the timeline in P/8 I am not able to play the scenes in the monitor window,they will appear there if I drag the timeline marker tool.

    Hi Steve & Bill
    Thanks for your help, I have now sorted my problem.  This morning after the PC had been switched off over night I started a compleatly new project after clearing out all the other projects, and everything worked fine. The only difference being when the clips from the VHS tapes were put on the timeline I got a message saying improve poor quality clips? yes/no, I clicked no,   last time I clicked yes, then it went into Auto Analylise. This may have been the problem.
    I will try to answer your questions now steve.   The Tape Deck is a Sony Mini Video Cassette recorder/Player  NO. GV-C300E PAL.(a useful piece of kit) it has a firewire connection to the PC and records in AVI format.   My o/s is windows 7,  Hard Drive 1Tb  with plenty of space, Processor is Dual Core 3.10Ghz  And 4 GB of Ram.  In general I am very pleasd with PRE8 it has problems yes but Iam sure they will be sorted later. I have worked with several of the earlier editions.
    Thanks again to all.

  • Oversaturated colors in Source and Program Monitor windows

    After I updated to Premiere CC 7.1.0 the colors is much more saturated in the Source and Program Monitor windows and also in the Bin thumbnails.
    Colors is fine when viewing the video under Export Setting, in the Title window, in the thumbnails on the timeline and also when I open a ProRes export in Quicktime:
    I'm on a Macbook Pro bought in January 2013.
    I've tried switching the renderer between CUDA, OpenGL and Software Only - no change. I've also tried unchecking "Composite in Linear Color" under Sequence Settings with no luck.
    How can I change this?
    Best regards,
    Kasper

    I've been editing in Premiere since 5.1 and this has never been an issue before. So what you're telling me is I can no longer rely on colors when editing on my Macbook without having to plug in an external monitor?
    I'm not buying that - it must be possible to view the same colors in both the Source/Program monitor and in the timeline/Title window like always.
    What could the problem be associated to?

  • Poor video playback in Encore 2.0 preview and monitor window . . .

    I'm having a strange issue with my video playback in the preview and monitor windows. At some points it displays as blocks (like digital noise). I unchecked the "Automatic" option in the A/V Output dialog as described in the manual. Still, nothing changed.
    To make sure it was Encore that had the problem, and not the file, I played my MPG2 files through PowerDVD, and nothing wrong with the playback in there. What is Encore 2.0 doing? How can I fix this problem???
    Any help would be appreciated!

    What Mouse drivers are you using please?
    This might sound silly, but under 1.5 (Different preview engine, true, so this may be completely wrong) I found that with a later revision of the MS Intellipoint drivers, I had exactly the same issue.
    We worked this out by realizing the green blocks appeared as soon as the mouse was moved. As with your cases, the discs still burned true proving it is a preview related issue.
    Uninstalling & reverting back to version 4.1 made it all go away.
    But since the preview engine is now the PPro one, this might not work any more.

  • Can't save presets in Windows 7 for CS4??

    Anyone else have this problem??   To start, I've had nothing but problems between CS4 & i7, it's been VERY frustrating.   All that aside,  when I was using Total Training, and attempting to save a Text Motion presets following the instructions, Windows 7 gives me an error message saying "I do not have administrative rights to save to this folder.  Would I like to save to My Documents?"
    I googled it and other people had this saving issue (not to Adobe Presets per se, but certain folders in general), none of the other posters fixes seemed to work.  I was hoping someone with Adobe had this issue & a way to fix aside from simply saying "Log in as administrator" I am, and it still doesn't allow to save.

    Most likely you are falling victim to W7's specific folder types (image folder, media folder etc.) that prevents this from working. Check out the folder properties and then set it's view options to be a conventional file folder. And of course the usual like setting permissions and UAC... Some guidancxe is here.
