Photoshop choppy 422 Video playback and export

In CS6, When editing Pro Res 422, Video with single layer plays back fine but with 3 layers playback and export are very choppy.
I tried merging layers but the video doesn't playback at all. Is there any other settings I could try?
CS6 memory usage is 100%, sound is turned of in TL. System MacPro -Quad Core Intel Xeon-Processor Speed 3 GHz, Memory 8GB.
Please help.

Thanks Curt.
I usually edit w FCP7. And My computer never had playback issues w 422 Pro Res files.
CS6 Memory was before on +- 55% and even the single layer video was playing back choppy. So I changed it to 100% not realy knowing what that means. At least the single layer video is playing now fine.

Is it possible to make a video preview and export it from edge animate?

is it possible to make a video preview and export it from edge animate?

Hi Johan,
If you are looking to export video through Edge Animate.
Well, there is no direct way to do it but you could use a screen recorder to make an mp4. Then you can import the mp4 in PS and if you have the plugin for gif then you just save aa a gif.

CHOPPY FLASH VIDEO PLAYBACK WITH ADOBE FLASH VERSION 10-11

I'm having a problem as described in a previous post re: Choppy flash videos, pictures, etc.. Youtube, megavideo any videos viewed online appear fine at first and then after 10-15 mins, start showing choppy. The audio was not a problem before, but I have noticed that it is being affected as well. I saw some posts on another forum a few days ago that recommended disabling flash player 11 in my chrome browser plugins and enabling verion 10 (which was available, but has since upgraded) and version 10 was working fine until it upgraded to 11 again. Now I have no options to revert to version 10 again.
My system info is below:
Sony:
OS - Windows 7
64 bit
Browser Chrome 16.0.912.77
Browser FireFox 9.0.1
Browser IE 9
Browser Safari 5.1.2
Flash Player 11,1,102,55
McAfee (came with the upgrade of flash player)
This is very frustrating. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, rebooting the browser, my pc, deleting cache files and cookies...NOTHING IS WORKING. CPU usage is between 20-35% when a video is active in my browser. I think that is normal, but I know that the choppy playback is not and it's only getting worse. Please HELP!
I hope this NEW POST will suffice as per your requirements.

When the video is choppy, how much CPU and RAM usage is occurring? Do you have a graphics control panel that shows how much video RAM is in use when the video is choppy?
Do you have a list of sites and videos where the video is choppy?
If you don't want the McAffee add-on, remove it.

Choppy HD Video Playback

Okay I have a 2.6 Ghz Core 2 Duo with 4GB Memory 17" Macbook Pro. I got my MacBook Pro about a month ago and I could watch 1080p trailers perfectly no choppiness or anything. But now I've noticed when I watch them the video gets choppy at points, even videos I've saved and watch in the past perfectly are now getting choppy. What can I do? Should I go to genius bar and see if they can do anything? I have no programs or downloads going on in the background and it still gets choppy, any suggestions would be great, thanks!

I had this exact problem and the cause was Perian.
If you have installed Perian, get rid of it! It's crap and really bogs down video playback.

Video playback and Album covers in Cover album flow mode are a mess

After installing iTunes 7.02 the cover albums come through on albums with song group list, but in the Cover Flow mode where you browse through the album covers, the covers are made up of verticle and horizontal lines and nothing can be made out. Even the bar at the bottom that allows you to drag and flip through the covers has a hashed line look.
The video playback images are also messed up. basically I can see that there is an image moving but it's not interpretable. The sound comes through fine. The image basically looks like a whole bunch of little squares that are not aligned right.
Any suggestions

with those symptoms, we'd better check through the suggestions from the following document:

PLEASE Help. Green Screen in Video Playback and all Video Files.

Hello to who ever can help a hand out. I feel very stressed by this whole problem. I have a documentary movie that has been finished and edited. I only had to add a couple more parts to it to finalize the film. However when i went on my computer today, (last time being last week. Where everything had worked properly) all the video playback is green. it has audio of all the video files, but the video shows up green in the playback and the viewer. Any idea what could have happened. (last week i added a 5 jpegs thats it!)
Please anybody with any suggestions, I would be very greateful.

Choppy playback and export in Premiere Pro 6

I have an AVHCD Lite file that plays smoothly in the source file, but once loaded into Premiere, plays back choppy no matter how much rendering I do, and it's even choppy when I export it. What could be causing this?

Most likely a mismatch between video and editing sequence

Premiere CC 7.1 - Red frames in playback and export

Having some problems after the 7.1 update.
In a variety of projects, on a variety of footage, we're experiencing random fully red frames (#ff000). Sometimes there are 1-2 frames in a clip, and occaisionally it's 80%-90% of the frames in a clip (this is less frequent). It has never been all of the frames of a clip.
This happens:
- On an undrendered timeline (you'll be watching an edit and you'll see a red frame - if you scrub back to it it'll still be there)
- On a rendered timeline
- In exports
Red frames that are visible on a timeline, are sometimes carried through to the export and sometimes not. Sometimes an exported file will display red frames that were not present on the timeline.
Red frames seem to be based on clips, not sequence frames. For example, in one of my exports, I had video footage with a lower third graphic over it. In one frame of the export, a red box appeared over the graphic, but the main shot was not affected.
This has happened to the following types of footage:
- .MTS (from C100)
- .MXF (from C300)
- ProRes 422 MOV
- ProRes 4444 MOV with alpha channel
Fixes that seem to work:
- If an export has red frames, re-export. Watch the new one like a hawk. Repeat until you get lucky.
- If a clip on a timeline has red frames, force a re-render via a Crop filter or similar
- Quit Premiere and reopen it
System/environment details:
- OSX 10.8.5
- Premiere Pro CC 7.1
- Mercury Playback Engine Software Only
- Often (always?) I-Frame Only MPEG sequence settings
- Much (all?) of the footage we've been working with has been on AFP shares via GigE with MTU of 9000
I haven't been able to confirm yet:
- Whether this ever happens with locally stored footage
- Whether this ever happens when Queueing to media encoder (rather than Exporting from Premiere)
- Whether changing to a QuickTime Desktop based sequence setting resolves the issue
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? It's frutstratingly un-testable, since it seems to happen at random. We'll continue to gather data points though and see if we notice any other trends.
Edit: Added additional system context

the error also appears with PRORES 422 files, but only after a certain amount of source data from prores 422 clips is processed / read
i made a test comp in AE with only one gigantic prores 422 source clip (8000 pixels x 1000 pixels @25fps) and the error first appeared at around 1500 frames read from the source file (equalling a few GB of source read and processed). after the red frames error appears once, the erroneous red frames appear more often but never in the same place when rendering the same comp several times)
i also made a test comp containing only a few full HD prores 422 clips (1920 x 1080, @25fps), there the error appeared only seldom (but still randomly). so it can be that a broader user base never experiences this erroneous behaviour at all.
i also made a testcomp containing about 40 full HD prores 422 clips (each 1920 x 1080, scaled down to 10% in size and distributed all over the comp so i can see them all at once). the erroneous red frames appeared within the first rendered frames!! obviously, many qt files had to be open and read in parallel, and so the error appeared from the very beginning of the rendering / export.
i suspect that the AE / PR applications open a RAM buffer for each open prores source file they need to read, and that this buffers somehow becomes compromised when it overflows and when buffer resize / buffer clear / flush operations take place.
of course i tested all sorts of RAM assignents for MP rendering (1GB per core, 2GB, 4GB, 6GB) and i rendered with several different settings of how many cores and ram should be available to other tasks. but the error always appeared. randomly.
--> fact in AE is, that nearly all MP renders / exports using prores clips as source files contained the bad red frames. when rendering without the MP option on (but of course up to 20x slower) so far i never experienced this error (of course always after fresh restarts once the error appeared)

Playback and Exporting Corrupt?

I keep having this sporadic issue where I am editing a sequence and the playback starts to lag and other times lines appear in the playback as well. This same problem happens with exporting. For reference sake I am editing off one of a literally brand new 3.5 GHz 6 core 16GB ram Mac Pro. The video company I work for has 9 more of the identical computers. This is the only one with a problem. I do not believe it is a ram or video card issue only because I can do anything within After Effects with no problem whatsoever. I have reinstalled Premiere and I am still having these issues. I opened the projects on another computer and they work just fine. Any suggestions? I took a screen recording of the problem so you can see what I am seeing. Premiere Playback Issue - YouTube
Thank you for your help. - Jon

Hi ClayTron,
There seems to be a few issues with the OS X 10.9.3 update and Premiere Pro CC (and other non-Adobe applications related to video). We know about the issues and are working with our partners for a fix. In the mean time while we're fixing issues, you might want to do the following to troubleshoot. These are things other users have tried and helped:
Sign out and then sign back in to Creative Cloud: Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app
Remove CUDA drivers if they have been installed (usually by Resolve): Avoid installing NVIDIA CUDA drivers on computers with AMD GPUs
Make sure all third party plug-ins are updated.
Go to Utilities > Disk Utility. In Disk Utility, select your Mac HD in the left pane and click the Repair Disk Permissions button to repair disk permissions.
In Finder, press Option, then choose Go > Library. Open Application Support > Adobe > Common, and then place the Media Cache in the trash.
In Finder, choose Apple > System Preferences. Click the Energy Saver icon: Make sure Automatic Graphics Switching is unchecked. This forces the more powerful GPU to be used for OpenCL processing.
Reboot the computer.
Launch Premiere Pro.Trash preferences on launch by pressing Shift + Option while launching the application.
In Premiere Pro, choose File > Project Settings > Renderer > Mercury Playback Engine Software Only. This should allow you to export without the horizontal lines.
In Premiere Pro, for any new or existing sequence, select the sequence, choose Sequence > Sequence Settings. In the Sequence Settings dialog box, change Editing Mode to Custom. In Video Previews > Preview File Format, change it to QuickTime. Set the codec to Apple ProRes 422, if you have the ProRes codecs installed. If not, try another codec, like Photo JPEG. This helps any problems with rendering.
Take a look at the Preferences folder once more, if the OS is updated and not clean installed, Mac OS can set permissions of folders and files incorrectly. To fix this in the case of Premiere Pro, go to the preferences folder and set the entire preferences folder ( /Library/Preferences/Adobe/Premiere Pro/7.0 ). Select the folder, press CMD + I, and then set all of its contents to be writable, not read-only.
See if your system runs more smoothly after performing these steps.
Thanks,
Kevin

Choppy iPhone video playback after upgrading to 10.5 + QuickTime 7.6.9

Hi,
I recently upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5 on my Powerbook G4. I used the "Archive and Install" option. After updating all software to the latest (10.5.8 OSX + 7.6.9 QuickTime), I noticed that the playback of the videos shot with my iPhone 3GS becomes extremely choppy (jumps combined with slow-mo). Based on the what's in "Previous System", I was using QT 7.6.4 with OS 10.4, which didn't have this playback issue.
I found several posts related to similar issues in the forum, and tried the following suggestions without success:
(1) removing all third party plug-ins from /Library/QuickTime;
(2) repair permissions with Disk Utility;
(3) installing Perian;
None of the above made a difference. Just for the heck of it, I tried "su" in Terminal and moved "QuickTimeH264.component" to "QuickTimeH264.component.bkp". Surprisingly this made the playback a lot better (all the iPhone clips are H264+ACC). So I'm guessing somehow the QT H264 component is not working properly for me, but what is QT using instead to play those videos after I renamed the component? It shouldn't be any of the third-party plug-ins since I tried removing all the third-party stuff at the same time, and the videos still played fine. I'd like to get to the bottom of this as I'm a little uneasy about re-naming the H264 component.
I hope someone more QT savvy can diagnose the problem based on what I've tried and make new suggestions. Granted my machine is a bit long in the tooth but it's still decently powered (1.67 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, 320GB HDD) and the videos played fine before the "upgrade".
Is it worth doing a clean re-install of 10.5 as opposed to the "archive and install"? It's a pain obviously to have to re-install all the apps but I'm willing to try it if it could reasonably make a difference.
Thanks in advance!

The problem is that you moved your Mail application to a sub-folder in your Applications folder, and you are running an older copy of Mail.
From your crash report it shows your path is to a different folder then the default folder:
Path: /Applications/Mail Apps/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
It also shows that you are not running the correct version of Mail (should be version 3.5 (930.3):
Version: 3.5 (929.4)
Check out this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2486
The short of it is that you may have two copies of Mail on your system. When 10.5.6 installed, it may not have updated Mail correctly. Look to see if you have another copy of Mail in your Applications folder, and if so run it and check it's version from the 'About Mail' menu option, it should be 3.5 (930.0). My recommendation is to remove any copy of mail that is not in /Applications (if there is no version of Mail in Applications, move the one you have in Mail Apps back) and run the Mail Update referenced in the article above.

Choppy HD video playback - FCP X

So,
I am trying to work on a music video project, downloaded the trial version of FCP X, and am importing 1080p AVCHD videos (60 fps). When editing the video, any time I playback it runs really choppy. I am running a 15" MBP, from 2009 I believe. It has the 2.66GHz dual core i7, 8GB DDR3 installed, and the 330M (512mb) graphics card. I mean, my computer knowlege tells me that this SHOULDNT be happening. I've run similar setups on older computers without issues with choppy video, so I'm looking for an answer. Also, whenever I just play the videos back (in like VLC or something) they play completely fine. Anyways, please help!!!

Choppy Youtube video playback on Lollipop

Hi Guys,
I've just got a new Z3 with Lollipop pre-installed and found that YouTube playback via the default app is choppy/stuttery.
I tried factory resets/ updating the YouTube app/clearing cache/turning the x-reality engine on/off, but of no avail.
The videos play perfectly fine on my much older Xperia s, so pretty sure this not on the YouTube end.
Please advise.
Cheers.

Youtube works fine on my Z3 settings/apps /YouTube uninstall updates .

Red Frames in Playback and Export

After finding out that others have had this problem and found solutions, I expected the solutions to work, but no luck so far.
I am working with HDV 1080i60 footage in Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 on OS 10.9.1. When I play my footage through the source window (by double-clicking it in the Project window) or on a sequence timeline, I see intermittent red frames - a lot of them. The red frames persist through export, leaving me with no way to edit this footage except to transcode it to a different format - presumably with an encoder other than Adobe Media Encoder.
Adobe, you have posted possible solutions for other people with this problem, but obviously it persists. What's the nex step?

LFedit, my red frames do not appear only on cross dissolves. They appear during normal playback in the source monitor as well as in the program monitor AND in the small preview area in the project window.
I've seen posts about this problem from the end of 2013, but I'm glad to know I'm not the only still experiencing trouble. I've already submitted a bug request to Adobe. Please do the same, LFedit. The more people report it, the more likely Adobe will pay attention.

Still can't get good, crisp, video upload and export

I have read the HD express manual, read the articles by Ken Stone and my video uploads are still not that crisp. When I export the MOV to my desktop it looks perfect, every detail. My original video is crytsal clear, beautiful, but when I upload it to "My Space" it looks a bit fuzzy or flat. Now I know what you're going to say, "it's MY SPACE, but you know what, it's not. There are plenty of very clear and crisp videos from musicians and music videos on MY SPACE that are clear as day and crisp - so I don't agree it's MY SPACE. My Space allows for .MOV/Quicktime uploads - 100MB. I tried H.264, still looks flat and washed out. I tried Sorenson, still looks flat. What's confusing me is the frame rate and key frame rate I should set it at for a simple 320 x 240 upload and all the other detailed settings that are optional. What are my best option, step by step. I have exhuasted myself with this - up until 2 a.m. for 4 days. Please help. I have tried so many options. Thank you for your time. Sheila

Sheila,
What is the source of the original video (original capture from DV camera, Quicktime video, rip from DVD ...)? What settings are you using when you export to your Desktop as a MOV? When you say it's crystal clear, what are you watching it on? Is the MOV file what you are uploading to MySpace, or are you doing a different export for uploading; if so, what settings are you using for that export?
What versions of FCE and QT do you have installed on your Mac? And what are the model & specs of your Mac?
