Nonstop Playback in PP

It would be really nice if Playback didn't stop when I change focus to other programs. How to do it?
Well, I'm getting good at stating all the problem on the title of the discussion.

Nonstop beach ball + freeze

Hi it's my first time posting here so please forgive me if any important information is missing.
My Imac have been running very slow and freeze from time to time, nonstop beach ball whenever I click on anything, just freeze for hours. I always have to turn it off manually and wait for another 30 mins for it to reboot.
I'm wondering if that's because of my memory? I'm thinking about reinstall , i have time machine back up but I really want just music and picture. Is there a way I can just restore these two ? Or do I need to upgrade any hardware?
Ok, here's my IMAC info:

thanks so much!!

An update since my last posting.
Whilst deleting the Safari cache seemed to solve the problem in the first instance, it did not resolve my problem of a slow and unresponsive machine.
Then I stopped iTunes. Who stops iTunes??? I certainly hadn't looked at stopping it before, especially since I rely on it to pump an almost continuous feed of music throughout the house.
As soon as iTunes exited (and it took some time to respond and to close), my zippy iMac was back.
Repeatedly starting and stopping iTunes was, in my mind, now giving clear evidence to the problem. I tried installing the new iTunes 10.3.1 from a download (rather than software update) and this still did not solve the problem.
I made sure that any plugins were removed - still no joy.
I did a complete uninstall of iTunes (tracking down and removing preference plists, etc) and re-installed - still no
luck.
As an example of the problems I was having with iTunes, I was playing a music track quite happily and during this, I added a folder of files to the library. The track continued to play as the files were imported, the playback levels set, etc. At the end of my playing track, the music stopped, but iTunes "appeared" to continue playing music - it's just that there was no sound, and no track playing / progress bar displayed!!
Importing and level checking continued, as cover flow continued to change tracks as if iTunes was playing music normally.
At the end of my imports, still with tracks ticking over but no sound, I paused playback, and ht play again - and sound returned.
Thinking that there might be a corrupted iTunes library (or indeed, a corrupt media file - which one of 16,000 could it be?) I decided to rebuild my iTunes library.
I again deleted all traces of iTunes, installed 10.3.1 from a fresh download, then imported files from my backup disc to a fresh iTunes directory structure.
As an aside, my iTunes library is on my DroboPro, in the "/Volumes/drobo/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" folder. I backup this folder to en external 1TB WD hard drive as well. Rebuilding my iTunes library was done by adding media files from the "/Volumes/drobo/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music" folder and, since this is a newer version of iTunes, writing the media files to "/Volumes/drobo/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media".
I left this to run overnight (and yes, I was till having spinning ball halts and delays from time to time if I tried to do other things).
Later that night, I was presented with a spinning ball, no response, and a machine that, although running, was not interested in keyboard or mouse input from me!!
On restarting my Mac, I used Terminal and went wandering through the "/Volumes/drobo/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media" directories and I identified that the last items being copied across were some podcasts. Since I could blow these away if I wanted to, I cleaned these files out of the backups stored on my WD drive, and then deleted the new directories I had been trying to create on my DroboPro.
Back to the last option given to me my the Genius - rebuild my Mac and recover from Time Machine.
Given that my Mac is now three years old and was delivered with Leopard (10.5.2, if I recall), and has migrated through all upgrades to Snow Leopard 10.6.7, as well as numerous software installations, removals and other tweaks, it was time to rebuild.
I did another Time Machine backup - just to be sure.
Snow Leopard DVD in hand, I re-initialised the hard drive and reinstalled OS X. On restarting, I was offered the option of restoring my data from Time Machine - I did NOT include settings or applications in the restore.
This means I now have a machine built from a fresh 10.6, and not a migration from 10.5.
After restoring, I used Software Update to bring everything up to scratch.
I also looked at my ~/Library/Preferences folder and deleted any plists that weren't at the current date. Reinstalling my applications would restore those anyway.
I was ruthless with the list of software I was prepared to reinstall, and further cut the list as I installed apps.
Now, with my backup iTunes library on my WD hard drive - missing a few podcasts - I built a new iTunes library from scratch, and all went well.
Any other things I tiied to do - watch and record television using EyeTV, run Terminal, install apps, etc - all proceeded without any hitches, and without spinning balls.
I was surprised at how many apps simply took off from where they left off - Dropbox and Evernote didn't even ask for my account details when they started up. Only a small number of apps wanted me to reinstall a licence key.
My zippy Mac was back, iTunes was feeding itself media files, and all was good with the world.
Now that my iTunes library has been rebuilt, all is working as I expect a Mac to work. My only "losses" have been a couple of iTunes playlists - but I see on the net that there is a workaround to recover these from an old iTunes library from Time Machine.
Rebuild and recovery was much quicker and easier that I thought - otherwise I'd have done it sooner!!! And after three years of constant use, upgrades and tweaking, it's good to have a fresh installation, especially with Lion only weeks away.
I reckon I'm ready for the next three years!!!!

How can I re-show hidden iCloud playback items?

My family shares an iTunes account accross three computers. Recently I learned the hard way that when you hide an item from iCloud playback in the new iTunes 11 it gets hidden from the other computers and the "Purchased" link in the store. I accidentally hid all of the holiday songs from iCloud playback but now that by Dad needs to reorganize the library to include holiday music, he couldn't find any of the music on the "Purchased link" which is how I found out that it works like that. Is there a way that I can re-show these songs, they still show up as purchased if you go to the main search and find that particular song? i need to put those songs back into the "Purchaced" link, and be able to play them from iCloud again.

I believe I had the same problem as you. To view items that are hidden from icloud. You need to:
1. In itunes go to "iTunes Store"
2. Select your iTunesID, should be upper left.
3. In drop down menu select "Account"
4. Under "iTunes in the Cloud", select "View Hidden Purchases" (should more towards the right portion, part way down the screen).
5. From there you should be able to see anything that you hide or deleted from the normal purchase menu.
Hope that helps.

Loop Playback enabled or disabled at a glance?

Can't find the way to understand at a glance if Loop Playback is enabled or disabled. Is it possible that FCPX lacks an option like this?

Yes. It's only visible in View>Playback. Use feedback to request it.

Record and Playback performance goes down at high frequency

Hi,
We're testing record and playback using USRP-2920( LV 2013sp1, NI-USRP 14)
To test it, we downloaded record and playback example code.
Signal source is a function generator outputting 6 MHz bandwidth 8 VSB modulation signal.
USRP Rx parameters are center = variant / gain = 0 / IQ rate = 25MHz and Tx parameters are center = same as Rx center / gain = 0 / IQ rate = 25MHz
The problem is... in low carrier frequency like 70MHz, quality of playback signal is great.
But in high carrier freqency like 2.2GHz, SNR and signal power dropped significantly i.e. they tend to drop as carrier frequency goes high.
And the strange thing is as carrier frequency is increased, a small peak on the center is increased as well.
Please check the attatched file to see the tendancy.
So.. my question is why is this tendancy occures?(we tested another USRP and the result was same as before)
and what should we do to reduce this effect?
Regards,
Youngmin

record and playback results.xls ‏469 KB

Hi,
I suggest a couple of things:
NI USRP 2920 is a non-calibrated device. So setting a gain value of 0 at different frequencies could mean a different actual gain. So try increasing the Rx recording gain (on the USRP) in cases where you observe low SNR. Similarly Tx is not calibrated.
Is the signal recording done with cables or over wireless medium ? You can try to eliminate any spurious signals if you use SMA cables while recording.
I think the power at the center of the spectrum is the DC offset. You may refer to the DC Offset/LO leakage section in the best practices section here http://www.ni.com/white-paper/13881/en/
Thanks.

Looking for Video playback app, like a DDR

Hello, I'm looking for a program to cue up and playback quicktime files for live broadcast off of the computers hard drive. Kind of like a DDR but all running on the computer. It needs to have the ability to cue up files based on keystrokes, like 123 enter = playack of 123, and be pretty quick about it.
I found Playbackpro.... at WWW.DTVideolabs.com but I'm looking for some other options.
Thank you.

Unfortuately I cant load the clips into quicktime since it's crashing when I load them..
Just hoping for a light weight app that's sole function is video file inspection

Rented a movie from iTunes, playback has stopped and no longer works.

Today I rented and downloaded a movie from the iTunes store. Got about 5 minutes into it and the playback froze.... I tried to fast forward... Nothing. Tried to rewind. Nothing. So I closed iTunes completely and reopened. Now when I try to play the rental, I just get a black screen. I don't want to waste $4.

No thumbnails or playback of MOV files in Adobe Bridge CC

Hi
I recently downloaded and installed the latest version of Bridge from the Creative Cloud and I am unable to view thumbnails of .MOV files taken with an Apple iPhone5. I am able to open the file but there is no audio or video in the playback. Anyone else have similar issues? I am able to view these same files in Lightroom CC fine. I am using Windows 7 64-bit. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Only thing I can think of is there must have been some kind of mixup in
the transfer process. Here's what I did: I plugged her phone into our
Macbook Air at home and transferred her stills and movies off from her
camera (using iPhoto) to a connected portable hard drive. From there I
copied and pasted the files onto a removable thumb drive. From there I
brought them to work on my PC and copied them off to a portable hard drive
there. Seems to me the MOV files got lost in translation somehow. It's
possible I didn't do this correctly? I know with MY iPhone images and
movies I copied them directly from my phone onto my computer (PC) when it
showed up as a device in my device listing. It wanted to use iTunes for
this but I bypassed iTunes and did it the old fashioned way. These are the
files that I am able to view correctly on my PC at work in Bridge. So I
guess I need to recheck my workflow here.

PE 3.0 -- Video playback jitters -- content pulled from VOB files

Thanks in advance for any advice!   I pulled 10 minutes of video from a DVD into Elements 3.0, edited it on the timeline and exported it to a DVD. The original content is a dub of a finished TV show burned by a production company.... it's the only copy we can get. My edit excerpts the part of the show that's about a non-profit I help out.
My final output has "jitters" in shots that have motion. The faster the motion -- like zooms or pans -- the more noticible the jitter. You can almost ignore it when playing back on a computer, but on a TV it's really obvious.
The only changes I made to the clips after import were:
          Interpret Footage => conform to D1/DV NTSC widescreen 16:9 (1.2)
          (so that footage matched the original 16:9 format.)
Where do I start troubleshooting? The initial project setttings? Or is this an export problem?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Mark
PS: On the original content, it says on screen before the show rolls that the master is "720P 59.94 16:9" -- but I don't know is if that's just the master or also the DVD

Thanks for all the helpful replies. (Sorry I didn't understand the points system; thought I could tag you all as helpful.)    Elements 3.0 doesn't have that DVD or Hard Drive project setting, but it looks like this is where the trouble lies.
Ridiculous thing is, I have Premiere Pro 5.03... but it will not ingest the VOB files. Each file truncates to 30 seconds, even if the file is already pulled off the DVD and in a folder.   I could not find a solution online to that problem, so I tried Elements which did it easily, except for this jitter.
AVAILABLE PROJECT PRESET SETTINGS:
In PE 3.0, I can change the default project settings by creating a new default preset. In the VIDEO section, If I start with DV - NTSC Widescreen (versus Adobe HDV or DV-Pal) I can create a new preset but it apeears my only changable video options are safe areas and display format. The "Fields" drop down is grayed-out, defaulted to "Lower Field First" and can't be changed. (Nothing else I change seems to make it available to change.)
DISPLAY FORMAT dropdown:
    >30 fps drop-frame timecode
    >30 fps NON-drop-frame timecode
    > frames
Are these settings of any use for this problem?
In the GENERAL section, I can open a dialog called PLAYBACK SETTINGS.   Choices there are broken into "Realtime Playback" and "Export."   In Realtime Playback, I can check or uncheck "Desktop Video."   The default is checked, which let's me select an "External Device" or a setting for aspect Ratio Conversion."   External Device Choices are:
     None
     DV 29.97i (720x480)
     DV 25i (720x576)
     DV 23.976p (720x480)
Those same external device choices are available under EXPORT.
Maybe Elements 3.0 just can't solve this problem... Any thoughts?

Problems with FCP 5.1.2 playback

Ever since I updated to Final Cut Pro (FCP) 5.1.2 I've been having intermittent issues with "broken-record" like playback. If I reboot FCP it goes back to normal, but this is obviously a hassle. Has anyone else found a better fix for this? Thanks!

does this happen if you use Ctrl-U to rearrange your windows to the standard layout first ? you can get skipping or broken playback if you have overlapping canvas and viewer windows, or if the video is not sized correctly for the window that contains it.
do you have any anti-virus software installed? anti-virus software installs backround processes that are constantly interuppting other system and application processes in order to scan files ... they are the bane of video production systems and should never be installed n them.
does this frame skipping happen regardless of the source format of the video?
is there anything particular about the ocuurences that might provide a clue (eg does it only happen when you have multiple projects with multiple sequneces open or similar)?

Can't playback on Blackmagic Decklink HD extreme 2

Hi all,
I am looking to crossgrade from FCP7 to Premiere CS6 so I have the Master Collection Demo installed on my work station along with FCP. It's on a 2008 Mac Pro with 2 Quad core 3.2G Intel Xeons, 16GB ram, ATi 2600 HD 250mb graphics and a Blackmagic Decklink HD Extreme 2. In the FCP set up this card fed a full HD JVC broadcast monitor via HD-SDI and I had no trouble with it at all and it played any type of sequence. My problem is that I can't for the life of me get a picture on the screen in Premiere. No combination of BM sequence settings or codecs, either BM or otherwise, seem to get it going. Output options seem extremely limited in the application set up with only one box to tick under the playback menu. This seems to have no effect whatsoever. The aplication can obviously see the card because the option to check it as a playback is there and the audio routes through without error. I have installed the latest Premiere updates and am running Desktop video 9.6. AE plays on the monitor fine but nothing in Premiere unless I switch the BM card to extended desktop and use the broadcast monitor as a second LCD and tick that option under the playback menu but then my GFX card seems to struggle and drops frames all over the place. I admit the ATI card is a bit of a slouch but options were limited for Mac unless you want the high end cards, which I am considering, could the fact the card is under powered have anything to do with video not getting to the BM card. I don't know much about the MPBE apart from the fact my card doesn't qualify.
Any ideas on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.
Apart from no client monitor I'm loving Premiere, I'm finding th realtime stuff quite refreshing after FCP, which was a bit of a joke really in that area...but if I can't monitor, I can't make the switch.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You don't need to use the blackmagic presets to play back through your card. What are your settings under preferences>general?playback? You might want to try uninstallig the blackmagic presets and installing the latest Deskstop from BM. The uninstall option will be available when you download BM Desktop from their support site. Having the latest version isn't what is important but uninstalling is.
Cheers,
Gerry

Playback with Blackmagic Ultrastudio Express Thunderbolt

Hello,
I'm using a MacBook Pro, a Blackmagic Ultrastudio Express Thunderbolt, and Premiere Pro CC 2014. Under preferences I've set playback to BlackMagic playback. When I connect a monitor to the ultra studio express I can get playback from the sources but not from the program. I'm trying to output a green screen composite. I've got the composite completed in the program viewer within Premiere, I've rendered the effect, but it won't play out to the external monitor. But if I double click on either tracks on the timeline, they will play out to the external monitor.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Herb Forsberg

To my knowledge, if CC is up to date, it's up to date. I checked and there are no updates. Thanks.
