Welcome to the forum.
First thing that I would do would be to look at this Adobe KB Article to see if it helps.
Next, I would try the tips in this ARTICLE.
If that does not help, a Repair Install would definitely be in order.

Need help with Go Pro Hero 3 and Premiere Pro CS6

Hello,
I recently acquired PP CS6. I put my clip (30 seconds long) and I go to preview while editing, for the first 1.5 seconds it is fine but then it is very choppy. The audio is fine but the video does not play smoothly. When I save and process the video it is fine. It is frustrating to try to edit video this way. I'm sure I'm missing a step when creating the project but I haven't used Premiere Pro since CS6. This is only happening with Go Pro Hero 3 videos, any of my other cameras are fine. Any ideas? Thanks

There's a lot of confusion over how video encoding affects subsequent editing performance - a higher data rate has no direct relation to how much effort is required to decode and play the footage, in fact a higher data rate often makes playback easier - which is why transcoding to AVI can help with playback even though the files can be hundreds of times larger. Data rates with the same codec depend on the frame contents and recording quality, but for playback and editing what matters is the GOP (group-of-pictures) structure and the complexity of the encoding algorithm. Provided your disks are fast enough the data rate is immaterial to Premiere.
With long-GOP files (as typically created by consumer DSLRs and helmet cams) we have keyframes (I-frames) with a complete set of pixel data, then a series of intervening P- and B-frames which only store the difference between 'now' and 'one frame before' or 'one frame after'. Unless you're on an I-frame you have to calculate the chain of differences from the nearest I-frame, and when editing or applying an effect we must re-calculate the entire GOP, so Premiere has to hold a lot of data in the buffer. Remember all timelines in Premiere are internally transcoded to 32-bit floating point, so it's more work to 'play' the footage in the monitors than would be done by a simple playback-only application such as VLC, or in some other brands of NLE that only work in the footage's color space. Premiere's hardware acceleration (MPE) only kicks in once the buffer has been ingested, all the decoding of the original H.264 frames happens in your CPU.
With digital cinema cameras and some hacked DSLRs, we record "all-I" footage - so there's no GOP overhead and playback/editing is massively smoother. I can scrub all-I footage from a hacked 7D no problem on my relatively-ancient spare laptop, but the long-GOP files from a factory 7D struggle to play at all. Our all-I 7D footage can hit 300MBit/s compared to 35 for long-GOP. Helmet cams such as the GoPro do all they possibly can to squeeze data onto their storage cards, which means they have long-GOP codecs that have some of the most complicated compression algorithms out there. The Hero3's implementation of H.264 uses the Ambarella chip, whose files are very small but an utter nightmare to decode - hence far more of a demand on your CPU than an equivalent clip from a DSLR.

Might be the 35 Mbps that is causing the choppy playback.
It shouldn't, assuming sufficient hardware. My GH2 clips often get up to over 90 Mb/s and play just fine on an older i7 920.

I need help using Premier Pro CS5 to create a short time-lapse video . . .

Hello I am new to Prremier Pro and need help creating a short time-lapse video. I have a Sony CyberShot TSC-70 and a Canon ZR930 to capture images and video but none do time-lapse automatically (I think). I also have Premier Elements 9 and Photoshop CS5 if needed.
I am late completely this project and need help. Suggestions urgently needed.
Thanks,
billy

Nice to know Elements has that function! I don't have elements, and did a one hour into 15 seconds timelapse in Premiere by importing my one hour clip into the timeline, then using the time tool within the effects panel to speed the file up by 1000% (maximum allowable in a timeline, apparently...) Then I nested that sped up sequence within a new sequence, and did it again... I think I had to do it twice, but I got a nice 15 second sunset timelapse out of a one-hour shoot by using that route.

Remote Editing with Premier Pro CS6

Has anyone tried remote editing with Premiere ProCS6? I have a good rig at home and I would like to use my laptop while away to edit on the rig. If this is possible, what programs did you use? Thank you.

After Effects CS6

John's answer being true, if you want to use the currently exported file in some authoring software, you would ask that question of the authoring software, not the exporting software. Meaning go to the iDVD forums (or read it's Help file) to find out how that program works.

Also when I create a project with desktop app, where is the option to sync that project to server? The license already included with
Project Online and Project server Sync.
Any Help solving my issues will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance..

General Help With Premier Pro 6

I am finding Premier Pro-6 to be very daunting. I have a Canon M50 and was wondering if there is a guide of sorts that can walk me through the steps of importing footage. If I understand correctly you cannot import directly from the camera but rather must copy the entire folder structure (including CVINFO, MY_MUSIC and MY_PICT) to the hard disk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've used Final Cut Pro for years and that is about the extent of my experience.
Many thanks,
Martin

You are halfway there.
Indeed copy the whole card to hdd.
Then to the Media Browser and click on the STREAM directory on the hdd.
Clips will appear on the right side.
Double click on a clip and it will open in the Source Monitor, trim the ends and drag to the timeline. Clip is now imported into your project.
Another way is to double click on the Project Window and import all the clips from the STREAM directory.

I need help with Quicktome Pro

Hi
Is there anyone that can help me by explaining in details how to edit TV shows with Quicktime Pro. Or, is there a better tool to edit .mpg files, in the mac world ?
Thanks

QuickTime Pro can't edit any muxed file format (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash) and can only convert the video portion of the file to other formats.
MPEG Streamclip (free) can edit those files and convert them to QuickTime formats.

Need help with Premiere Pro 6 media/file management!

I've been an Avid editor for 20+ years and understand media management in that world. I've recently learned FCP 7 and understand media management in that world. But for the life of me I cannot wrap my head around how Premiere Pro 6 manages media. I am looking for a very straightforward explanation, chart, anything to make sense of this. Thanks in advance for helping an old dog learn new tricks!

I NEED HELP WITH QUICKTIME PRO!!!!

I JUST BOUGHT QUICKTIME PRO AND I AM TRYING TO MAKE A FAMILY DVD WITH VIDEOS FROM MY VIVITAR DVR 840XHD CAMCORDER. I PLUG IN THE CAM THRU MY USB AND WHEN I GO TO OPEN THE VIDEO'S WHICH ARE SAVED AS .AVI FORMAT, QUICKTIME SAYS THAT I NEED TO DOWNLOAD THIRD PARTY CONNECTIONS AND NO VIDEO'S SHOW UP. I DOWNLOADED EVERY SINGLE CONNECTION EXCEPT DIVX BECAUSE IT DOESNT SUPPORT MY PPC UNIT AND STILL I GET NO PICTURE OR SOUND...ITS JUST PITCH BLACK. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE I NEED IN ORDER TO VIEW MY VIDEOS ON QUICKTIME PRO. I DO USE A HD SD CARD BUT I DON'T THINK THATS THE PROBLEM...PLEASE IF SOMEONE KNOW'S WHAT TO DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT ASAP...THANK YOU.

PLEASE IF SOMEONE KNOW'S WHAT TO DO PLEASE HELP ME OUT ASAP
AVI is a file container -- not a compression format. To know what codec you need, you have to check the Finder "Information", QT "Inspector", QT 7 Pro "Properties", or similar multimedia window that will tell you what audio and/or video codec was used to encode your file. If the codec is available for the Mac, you would then download and install the specif component or component package providing the needed support. Most common AVI components are supported by the Perian component package... but not all. If you simply ant to try a "hit or miss" installation approach, then you should propably start here if you have not already installed the latest version. However, be sure to read the warnings regarding known conflicts with certain other components which now may have to be removed.

Need help with Mac Pro purchasing decision

I've read preliminary reviews on the new Mac Pro, and I'm ready to upgrade my current Mac Pro (which is Dual 2.4 Ghz Quad-core with 32 GB RAM). But I'm going through some major turmoil in the decision. My current Mac Pro, aged as it may be, has been good to me, and when it needed upgrading, it was so easy to do. I installed an additional two internal hard disks, giving the Mac Pro 3 TBs of internal storage. RAM upgrade was a breeze, and when the graphics card went out, I was able to buy and install a replacement without a hiccup.
I love the low profile of the new Mac Pro, albeit I'll still be putting it on the floor - I don't like having my desktop computer in my desk work area. And it looks like upgrading the RAM in the new Mac Pro is pretty simple (although horribly expensive). I would require a CD/DVD drive, so that becomes a piece of "stuff" I have to clutter my work are with. However, most importantly, the internal storage issue, FOR ME, is huge. Without the ability to add internal drives, getting the 1TB flash storage is a must, but sooooooo expensive. AND.. I still need additional storage (more than half of my current 3 TBs is in use).
Moreover, the whole lack of upgradability has me concerned that the new Mac Pro may disappear like the G4 Cube. I haven't seen any rave reviews of the new Mac Pro overall.
But I need to upgrade.
I have configured a new Mac Pro on the Apple Store about 100 times now, but never making the purchase for all of the above reasons, as well as the $5K price tag that it keeps ending up at. I even started looking at refurbished Mac Pros (newer than mine, but the same old huge silver case). The advantage is that it's upgradeable, and I won't end up with an optical drive or external hard drives cluttering my desk space.
The truth is, every time I go to buy, either a new Mac Pro, or a refurbished one, I hit a wall. I'm walking the fence, wondering if I should walk it until a newer Mac Pro shows up with more expandability options (although it seems unlikely since Apple's direction seems to be form over function).
The new Mac Pro has been out for awhile, so I am looking for feedback from people who are kind of in my shoes, but already bit the bullet. I don't want to encourage replies of regret, but I also would prefer the truth over grandiose reviews simply to justify making the leap (and dropping some huge bills). It happens... "I just spent 5 grande, I better **** well love it, and I'll make sure everyone else thinks I do!" ;-)
Please share your experiences. How have you gotten around the lack of upgradeability on the internal storage? I have had bad experiences with external drives in the past. Firewire drives were fast and furious, but the were not as reliable as internal drives. USB drives lag, and that dreaded spin up time every time the Mac OS does something that wakes up all the drives, even if the external drives weren't actually being accessed (never had that problem with Firewire drives, maybe because they were always spun up?).
Anyway, I don't want my buyer's pain to turn into buyer's remorse, so I appreciate all the wisdom any of you would be willing to share.
Thanks,
Bill

I'll offer my comments although there are others much better qualified to answer than I am.
First, the reason I bought the machine that I got was that I found an "open box" deal at a local retailer and got a substantial discount from the normal list price. Otherwise, I might not have gone to the nMP quite as quickly as I did. Regarding ram and the ssd drive, both of these can be upgraded at some later date if I find that is needed. The ram I will probably bump asap, filling the one empty slot with likely an 8gb OWC module.
To run your VGA monitors, you will need 2 passive mini-display port to VGA adapters. You can buy these pretty much anywhere, the Apple ones are superb quality at a price but other options are out there. These will plug into 2 of the Thunderbolt ports on the nMP.
Regarding cpu's and gpu's it gets a bit confusing. Basically right now it depends on the software that you are going to run. It is not likely coincidence that FCPX 10.1 came out basically at the same time as the nMP, as it really highlights full use of the multicore cpu's plus the dual fast gpu's. FCPX really screams on the nMP.
Right now, it seems more video software is making optimum use of both the multicore cpu's and dual gpu's in the nMP. Other software, most notably photo software that should also benefit, is lagging behind. For instance (going only from memory) Adobe software is not very good at using multi-core cpu's nor does it use multiple gpu's either. You can find comparisons of running Photoshop filters on a 3.7ghz 4-core vs the (slower clock speed) 6 or 8 cores and the 4-core comes out close or even faster in some tests because Photoshop uses only a single core, which on the 4-core machine is faster.
However, this is a pretty specific instance and generally buying the fastest cpu and gpu that you can afford is a good plan. Especially so for the gpu's as right now, the video may end up being the only component that does not end up with some sort of upgrade option in the foreseeable future.
If I was going to order a system under the circumstances you have stated, the 6-core with the D500 gpu's sure looks like the sweet spot in the lineup, and probably money well spent. After I would probably upgrade the ssd next, since in order to upgrade it later you have to remove a perfectly good ssd since there is only one slot. Personally I am ok with the 256gb as my boot and system drive, since with Thunderbolt you have basically PCIe access to an external box that can have either Sata or PCIe expansion for whatever storage you can afford.
As I said earlier, right now I am going cheap and using Apples Thunderbolt to firewire cable, which is allowing me to run my existing Lacie firewire drives in a daisy chain just as I did on the old MP.
Upgrading the ram at purchase or later is your choice, there are certainly less expensive options but with only 4 slots you have to weigh the cost of discarding or trading in the original Apple ram when you decide to swap it out for bigger modules. Plus not all ram can be mixed and matched, you may have to remove all the existing ram in order to add just a single high capacity (16gb or larger) module.
Again, hope I have helped more than adding to your confusion.
