Older mov clips playback choppy in Premiere CC 2014

Revisiting an old project (two years or so) and much of my footage is playing back choppy in Premiere.
It is some clips but not all. I played with sequence frame rates to see if there was a mis-match but nothing helped.
I'm noticing it happen in quicktime itself, could it be that the older clips ar not good anymore? Do they have a shelf life?
Any workarounds or solutions?
Thanks

IMovie 10.0 How can you keep the aspect ratio to 4:3 for older movie clips?

I upgraded to iMovie 10.0 from 9.09. When I try to use an older movie clip that was shot in 4:3, iMovie changes it to 16:9. Is there a way to keep the aspect ratio intact?

IMovie version 10.0.7. OS X 10.10.2
is my question clear enough?

Why do my PNG QT clips playback choppy?

I am working on a 3D animation using Blender as the 3D tool, and FC Studio as my editing tool. I render frame stacks from Blender, and Open Sequence with QuickTime Pro, then save those as clips to be used in Final Cut.
I have Blender render each frame as PNG, and thought I'd do a PNG workflow, so I exported from Quicktime as PNG, millions, 24fps. but when I play them back, they are hesitant, and choppy.
Previously, my workflow was the same, only Lightwave3D was my 3D app, and I saved my frames as PSD, imported to QT Pro, then Saved out as Planar RGB. Everything was smooth as could be, even on much less powerful hardware than I have now.
Can anyone say why the PNG clips play so unsmoothly? Is a PNG workflow not a good idea? I selected it because it's lossless, and makes small clips (file size)
my size is 852px x 480 px...certainly WELL within the capabilities of this Mac Pro.
Thanks for any clues!

PNG is a stills codec, it's not a native codec used in video production. Check the FCP sequence presets and you'll a complete list of the native video formats FCP supports.
Alright..I think I'm getting close to epiphany here..thanks for hangin' in with me.
Just to be clear, my 3D out put is square pixels...this is a square pixel workflow from beginning to end. so if I keep everything 853 x 480, and use one of the FCP Presets, then I ought to get smooth playback, not only in FC Studio, but also in Quicktime Player?
Thanks!

Older ".mov" clips won't play

I'm trying to play some older (maybe 2004) clips from some education software. The player starts and runs the clip (the slider thingy moves across) but there's no picture or sound. Clips play fine on my PC (Windows XP), but I need to run them on my laptop at school. Ideas?

Open the QuickTime System preference pane / Advanced tab.
Check the box for "legacy" encoders.
If that doesn't work use the Movie Inspector window to tell us more about you .mov files.

Some 24 fps clips playback choppy in project

I have two Sony HDR FX1000 camcorders, which I set for 24 fps. My first tape plays reasonably well. The other three seem to have problems, both in the source window and timeline. My drives are defragged. I'm running CS5 on my Sager i7 core laptop with 8 gig of RAM.
I am unfamiliar with the 24 fps style. I've taped a wedding and thought it might be nice to include the feature. Any constructive advice will be greatly appreciated!

Here's the rub - some of my clips play flawlessly on the timeline and in the source window. CS5 doesn't give you the option to choose between frame rates - at least not that I've found, until you export.
There are two significant variables, it was cold, windy with showers. I also used to camcorders. I may have to perform some sample shots with both of them, to determine whether one has a problem...

My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1. I have imported .mov clips created with a older mac os x (lion) and converted them to import into fce. after doing this as well as putting clips on the fce timeline when playing back t.h

My current os x is 10.9.5, using final cut express vers. 4.0.1. I have imported .mov clips created on a older mac os x (lion) and when I wanted to import them into fce, a quicktime conversion window opened up and converted them (I haven't experienced this in the past). I then imported the converted quicktime clips into my fce project. After doing this I took selected clips and put those edited clips on the fce timeline. When playing the video back in the fce timeline,I noticed
1) the video wasn't playing back smoothly like the original content
2) when looking at the timecode reading of the timeline, the timecode was sputtering as well as the video and audio. I exported to quicktime just to see if that was consistent, it was.
When I play the converted quicktime content independently of fce, it plays normally (no sputtering of timecode, video and audio. Need help to resolve the sputtering playback of converted video content in the fce timeline. I've never experienced this before. Any suggestions?

When you say you converted the clips before importing them into FCE, did you convert to AIC or DV and do the converted clips match your FCE Sequence settings exactly? If not, go back and convert the original files again, using the intended Sequence settings as a guide.

Why do I get choppy playback in Adobe Premiere Pro cs6?

The playback is really choppy.
What I am using:
(Brand New) iMac
Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 MB
Nikon D5100 DSLR
Shot in 1080i 30 fps
Thanks

I cannot believe how bad the playback is in Premiere Pro CC, and, how little help there is out there. Raw MOVs from a 5D plays back like garbage on my laptop or 8 core Mac Pro. Its ridiculous. I'm better off transcoding to ProRes and using FCP which works, or God forbid, go back to using Avid like its 1999. Unfortunately It has nothing to do with the two graphic cards or 32 gigs of memory I have either, it just plays back like garbage. Using the JKL keys is completely awkward because the lag between hitting the key and playback is excruciating. I'm at 1/2 resolution and it cant play back footage without being choppy. no FX, and the footage and hardrive is on a 6g SSD. This should be screaming.
Adobe, seriously, live up to your other products standards, they are so good, why does this one just bomb?

In Premiere I can edit an avi or mov clip but I can not save the result as a like file. Why not???

Let us start from the beginning.
It has been established that you have Premiere Elements 10. On what computer operating system is it running?
There has not been a File Menu/Export/Movie export opportunitity in Premiere Elements since version 7. We are not up to version 12.
For Premiere Elements 10, your export opportunities are all in Share/ including one for Computer. Under Computer there are several choices. The ones that you see are Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The others you have to scroll down to. And those choices are AVI, Windows Media, QuickTime, Image, and Audio. You do not have to use the scroll bar for this. You can click on Adobe Flash Video panel to get it to turn black. Then use the down arrow to go down the list and the up arrow to go up the list. Once you get to a category, you can select a preset and go with it or customize it under the Advanced Button/Video Tab and Audio Tab of the preset.
If you post the properties of your source media that you want to try to match in the export, I would be glad to suggest the exact settings for you.
We will be watching for your follow up with details.
Thank you.

Add On...The Premiere Elements 10 File Menu is for more than Saving, just not exporting. One of the key features that can be access there is the Project Archiver. More on that another time.

Movie Clip in swf won't show animation in adobe premiere pro cs4

Hi, I am new to this forum and as well as a beginner user of adobe premiere pro cs4. I am recently making a animation using Adobe Flash CS5, I've been using movie clips symbol to create all the movement of the character, background and stuff. Unfortunately, swf movies exported from Adobe Flash CS5 do not show any animation at all in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4. I have to use movie clips symbol instead of graphic symbol because filters can be added to a movie clip symbol but not graphic symbol. Is there any way to help making the movie clip symbol to be shown in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4? Your help is much appreciated.

Check Flash help in the "video" section, specifically "moving content between" PR and FL. (I was looking at CS4, but it must be there in CS5 help as well.)
Your movie is to be watched on a TV? I would do this in After Effects. because you'll lose most of the flash functionality once you go to video anyway,

Choppy movie clips and scenes

I am having a problem in which I have movie clips containing
tweens in a file containing two scenes. On publishing, the movie
clips in Scene A play fine, but the clips within Scene B are very
choppy -- they appear to be playing only the first and last frames
of a tween.
The tweens themselves are definitely OK -- sometimes it
happens that the clips from Scene B play fine, but then the ones
from Scene A don't work.
To see specifically what is happening, you can go to
http://www.boston.com/news/specials/local/danvers_explosion/interactive_graphic/
The file is done in two scenes -- one for the content under
the "The Blast" tab and one for that under "Getting Out." The
pulsing arrows on the map in "The Blast" are movie clips with
motion tweens, and these are working correctly. Go to "Getting
Out," though, and the explosion symbol on that map is supposed to
expand and fade out, but as you can see, it's not working. But as I
said, sometimes that clip plays fine, but then the arrows (and
other clips in "The Blast") don't work.
This is not the first time I've run into this bug, so I don't
think it is anything project-specific. Anybody have any
ideas?

dont think it is a "bug" because scenes dont exist in the
compiled SWF - they are only for managing
your FLA timeline.
example: say you have 2 scenes 100 frames each. Upon export
to SWF, frame 1 in scene 2 is really
frame 101.
perhaps you just need a preloader?
can you provide the FLA?

I am unable to move clips or apply transitions. I was able to use all the functions the last time I used premiere. Perhaps I locked something by accident.

I am trying to insert a cut photo into a movie clip. the cutaway photo appears above the clip and cuts away when you move the curser across it, but does not show the cutaway when in playback. What am I missing?away

I am trying to insert a cutaway photo into a movie clip. The cuaway photo appears over the clip and will appear in the clip when you manually moce the curser across it, but will not appear in the clip during playback. What am I missing?

Try using the SHARE menu to share your movie in the sizes you need. It should work on the shared copy.
Another thing to try would be to restart your Mac so you have fresh memory.

Does Premiere elements 10 support MOV movie clip formats?

Does premiere elements 10 support MOV movie clip formats?

MOV is really but a wrapper, and can contain a broad range of CODEC's. Many, like PhotoJPEG, Animation, H.264, and many more will work fine, so long as one has Apple's QT Player installed, or the necessary CODEC's installed. However, if the file came from a Mac, and went to a PC, and had been Exported from FCP, or similar, there could well be one of the Apple Intermediate CODEC's inside, and most of those are NOT available on the PC. Also, if the file came from FCP, even if going to a Mac, there are CODEC's, that will only come from FCP, so one would need that program installed.
This ARTICLE will give you more detail on File Formats as "wrappers."
Please let us now what is inside that MOV wrapper, and someone can direct you.

Titles Freezing Movie Clips in Premiere 9

The video portion of my movie clips keep freezing when I add a title to it in Premiere 9. The audio portion continues playing without issues, only the video portion seems to be affected. Any thoughts?

Thanks for the help. I have looked at the information and will review it all again.
I just spent another 2 hrs. + trying to still resolve the problem. I have started a new project, I uninstalled and reinstalled with their people, and when I was told a higher lever technician would get back to me in 3-4 days, I started to politely demand some kind of explanation for taking my valuable time. I have used Premiere Elements for years and now, after being told by their techs to upgrade to PE9, I am have a time-consuming issue.
So now, as it has been explained to me, they are going to look through the system log and try to discover from the "errors" what is causing this to continue. It has been established twice there is nothing wrong with my computer. Everything is upgraded, etc.
So, we shall see. In the meantime, I will review the information you sent. Thanks again!
I will keep you informed!
