Playback in CS5.5 stops after a fraction of a second-why?

Just tried using Premiere CS5.5. I opened a CS5 project, but when I try to play any of the videos, either in the Source Monitor or Program monitor, the playback stops after a fraction of a second. It doesn't matter what point in what video I'm at. On the other had, scrubbing through the videos is no problem.
Does anyone have an idea what could be going on here? Needless to say, it's impossible to do any work within Premiere under these circumstances.

Try what I recommended on this thread about this issue:

Okay, let's say you bought an album and there are a few songs on there where you only have half the song(the song just stops after a number of minutes/seconds). What do you do, and can you re-download these songs?

Playback in Preview window stops after about 1 second

Hi,
When I hit the spacebar to view the clip in the preview window, the playback stops after about one second each time. It goes smoothly, then after one second, it stops. I can however drag the slider across the time line and there seems to be no problems.
I'm sure I have a powerful enough computer, so I don't think it's something to do with ram (I have 6 gig ram, Vista, triple core processor, good graphics card... brand new computer bought yesterday)
I'd appreciate help with this.
Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean... I am importing from a DV tape which was recorded onto by a MiniDV Camera. When I plug in the camera to my fire wire, Windows gives me the options of AVI and WMV format (I am not sure which one to go with by the way, but WMV format seems clearer and 5 times smaller too.. why is that?)
Any ideas?
Thanks again
EDIT: Also, I borrowed some video files on the net and premiere does the exact same thing- stopping after one second :/

Flash videos stop after about a second of playback ?

ANY flash videos that are played inside Internet explorer OR
firfox stop after about a second of playback, I can drag the slider
to the middle of the video and it will play for another second then
stop. Can anybody HELP. PS I also have NO sound in any FLASH stuff
since installing flash player 9. ALL other video's (WMP,MOV,RM)
play OK WITH sound

Hi ATR
Thanks for the advice and ideas.
I think that the vertical white line basically just shows where the mouse pointer last was relative to the time line, and if you move it from the editing window to the viewing window, it retains its last known position on the time line.
None the less - I implemented your suggestion.
Even if I move the clip further down the timeline, the playback stops about 1-4 secons after I hit play. Even if I move the clip 60 seconds back from the starting line, playback stops while the the playback position is running through the empy space prior to reaching the new starting time of the clip.
If I move the blue cursor that shows the current playing point to anywhere else in the clip, it plays for about 1-4 second and then freezes as before.
Clearly the playback freezes regardless of where it is in the content stream.
I have also discovered a new unexpected feature... The problem seems to be intermittent - if I open a few other clips, and play them, and return to the previous clip, it may run for some time and then freeze. After it has then frozen once, it freezes consistently after 1-4 seconds.
It is also worth noting that it freezes in quick mode too, regardless of timelines.
So there you have it - an intermittent issue.
I have bad to use iMovie in the meantime, which works without issues.
It is beginning to look like a bug in the application...
Thanks again for your suggestions.

Playback stops after a second or two

My playback unexpectedly began to stop after only a second or two today. Fast forward stutters too. No change in the computer (except software updates). The file is OK as it plays fine on my laptop. Trashed preferences, restored Garageband from a previous time machine version, turned off my airport, all to no avail. Garageband is completely unusable on my G5 Tower at this point. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Repairing permissions right now to see if it helps.

I had the same issues with playback stopping after a few seconds. It began happening in every project that I had.
I tried a vast number of things, changing mac settings, changing garageband settings, software update of garageband etc etc...
Nothing made any difference until late last night. I decided to make a brand new project with one simple recorded audio track to see if the problem would happen with the new project.
Playback worked fine in my new project and then when I checked my other projects, they all worked fine as well.
I don't know whether initialising a new project fixed things or whether it was a coincidence but the problem went away for me.
Good luck

After moving my music library from my old mb to the new one, my new mb pro does not play the files evenly. It takes a break for two sec's and starts playback where it stopped. Ideas anyone?

I may have found an answer here:

They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

Adobe Premier CS5 stops working when playback

I'm using a Matrox to edit in HD, but when I hit the space bar for play back, Adobe Premier CS5 stops working, any idea?
Thanks!

The best idea I have is to lose the Matrox. Remove all Matrox hardware, then wipe the system clean (to get rid of any Matrox software) by reinstalling the Operating System, drivers and programs from scratch.
Once you've got things working again, please join the call for proper monitoring without buggy/limiting third-party hardware/drivers.

TS3297 Does anyone know how to fix a problem where iTunes store previews (just music, not movies) stop after anywhere between 9 and 13 seconds of playback?

Basically, when I try to listen to any music previews, it cuts out inexplicably after more or less 10 seconds. The movie previews work fine. The iTunes diagnostic showed up clean, and I have already reinstalled iTunes as well as restarted my computer. Any ideas?

The following post from wunbadapple fixed my preview issue. May want to try it.
Re: itunes store song previews now less than 10 seconds
created by wunbadapple in iTunes for Windows - View the full discussion
Well I think I fixed it, but with Apple you can never be sure. Just previewed 5 songs and all previewed ok. I reviewed the thread above and some other related threads and all seemed to reference DNS at some point. So I changed my DNs provider in Windows
Network connections->properties->IPV4->properties-> Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 and secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1 .
Primary is the Google DNS server, secondary is the old old old VZ DNS (used to be GTE I think). My default was Verizon's Fios DNS. 8.8.4.4 and 4.2.2.2 are other google and VZ servers if you want the same provider for primary and secondary. I split them in case one has issues.
Then DOS CMD: ipconfig /flushdns
This seemed to resolve the issue, but can't be sure something in Apple servers, etc didn't change. I am wondering if there is something evil in the iTunes Store VZ FIOS DNS interaction, but can't be sure. At least worth a shot if you still have the issue. Ironic the google DNS servers fixed an issue with Apple.

Playback won't stop in multicam sequence

Here's a new one.
When editing a multicamera sequence, I keep running into this weird phenomenon where I can't stop the playback. I hit the space bar, start making cuts, then when I want to stop I hit the space bar again and nothing happens. The sequence keeps playing, sometimes stopping after a couple a minute or so, sometimes not until the end of the sequence.
The nested multi-cam sequence has just 4 streams of DSLR video. The machine I'm using has plenty of CPU power and memory and an nVidia GPU, so I'd be surprised if resources are a problem. The source media is on a Raid-0 array.
I've tried switching the resolution to 1/4, but this makes no difference. I have several layers of audio but have solo'ed just one to see if that would help. No.
Any suggestions?

I am experincing the same problem.
I am editing in MultiCam Layout with a nested muticam sequance Video and Audio. When playing the footage and doing multicam cuts while watching, the computer will not respond to the stop/spacebar command. It will continue to play until the sequance reaches the very end before it will stop. I have had some success by ALT+Tab to the desktop and then back to Premiere, however most of the time I have to Close Down Premiere via End Task in Task Mangager and then reopen the project with a loss of the recent changes.
I have tried some suggestions by others;-
'Show audio waveform' - OFF
'Show audio keyframes' - OFF
'Show audio names' - OFF
"Timeline Scrolling" to "None"
I have done some trouble shooting and this is what I have found to help.
What did work for me was to minimise my Premiere Multicam Layout from 3 Monitors = (My Custom Layout - Multicam on Middle Monitor, Timeline spanned across 3 monitors, Left and Right Monitor with effects, Media Browser, Color Scopes etc etc) down to just the 1 Monitor =(Layout CS5.5 Multicam). Mine you all 4 montiors are still on, I have just left Premiere on the one monitor during Multicam Layout Editing.
And this has stopped the problem from occuring.
My computer is a bit of a God Box, Twin 2.5 i7 24 Cores 64Ram 6xSSD Drives with a Quatro 5000k graphics card and 4 Monitors.
While watching Task Manager, none of the resources are anywhere near maxing out, CPU, RAM, Drives are all fine and are not under any load. So I am not sure as to why there is a problem with multicam play back in a multi monitor layout. I would have thought the computers info-tubes would be big enough to cater for multicam in multi-monitor layout.
Any suggestions?
(PS not sure if I can somehow flag this to Adobe Tech, Anyone know if I can?)

Ipod stops after each track ends in a playlist?

I have a problem: Suddenly, my ipod stops after each track ends in a playlist. This happens with every playlist and every track, all of which worked fine until this week. All tracks' settings are "yes" on 1) part of a compilation; 2) remember playback position and; 3) skip when shuffling. I have not updated any software or added any new content to my ipod. I imagine that some setting has been switched on or off, but I am unable to identify which one. Please help as these are my audio books! Thanks!

I have tried checking the gap less album box (what is that for by the way) but it makes no difference.
If you've heard of Dark Side of The Moon by Pink Floyd then it's used there when you want no break between tracks. Or any DJ mixed continuos play CD. Or some classical music. Take your pick

Ram Preview - Stopping after 40 frames

Hi All,
I've recently moved to After effects CC on my home computer, and for some reason whenever I try and RAM preview it stops after 40 frames or so...
The animation is REALLY basic (full screen shape layers turning on and off to the music) and an mp3 file playing in the background.
My computer spec is:
21.5-inch iMac Mid 2011
OSX 10.8.5
2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
I have the following multiprocessing prefs:
I would greatly appreciate any help on the matter... the project seems far too basic for it to be having genuine issues with playback...
Dan

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the reply.
I've changed the .mp3 file to a .wav file and that seemed to fix everything, for the time being...
It previewed for 10 seconds fine, but after about 15mins of working on this the RAM preview area has started to shrink again and it's only previewing just over half (5 seconds).
I changed my memory and allocated 4GB to other apps, also turning off rendering multiple frames... (by the way for some reason I can't get my 'actual cpu's that will be used' to change from 0? This seemed odd). Still no change.
I've attached a screenshot of my comp details below, along with a shot of my screen when RAM previewing... (you can see the green bar does not go all the way). I'm not working with ANY footage which is why this is most peculiar, just the wav file so I can edit to the beat.
Once again if there is anything else you can think of...

Playback gives black screen after a few times

Hi!
This is my problem. I just installed Adobe Premiere CS6. After trying it a few hours the program has allready frozen a dozen times and unexpectedly quit a few times. Is there some major bugs in the CS6? (One of the recurring problems is the playbutton in the playback window to stop responding. Nothing happens when I click it) Also, I can't find the adobe upater anywhere on my computer, but once in a while it opens atuomatically so it has to be here somwhere. Where is this program located and how can I manually check for updates?
But, the biggest problem is this: when I add a clip to the timeline it first plays back just fine. But then, after adding another clip to the timeline, or a few minutes later, it suddenly doesn't playback anymore. It plays the sound, but the window is just black. The only way I've been able to get the picture back is by restarting the entire program.
I'm very new to Premiere Pro, has up until now only worked with InDesign and Photoshop so it might just be something I'm not understanding how to do but it seems like very strange behaviour to me.
I work on an iMac with OS X 10.7.5
Adobe Premiere (6.0.0 (319 (MC: 264587))
Help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

I just tried to install Premiere on my new MacBook Pro as well but I'm still not able to playback the picture. The sound works but the playback screen is completely black.
MacBook Pro (Retina) OS X: 10.8.2.
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6: Version 6.0.2 (072 (MC:264587))
Source Footage: Quicktime (56 gb in one file): Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, Timecode.
I also have some smaller clips in this Quicktime Codec: H.264, Linear PCM.
No error messages. Sometimes the program just freezes and I have to force quit it. Or it just won't playback.
It was a entirely fresh install of the software. I'm a member of adobe cloud so I downloaded it from the application manager.
I'm also running photoshop and inDesign which are working just fine. At the time i launched Premiere no other Adobe programs where running. Just programs as: textedit, mail and evernote.
No third-party codecs installed.
Tried to update Premiere with the latest updates but that didn't do any difference.

Problem when exporting movie, video stops after 2 minutes

I set up a Project containing both images and videos. They were all shot using a digital camera (Canon SD400).
When I export the 5 minute movie, around 2 minutes the video freezes, but the music (from an mp3 file) keeps playing. At 2 minutes one of the videos start to play and the video has a little yellow button showing on it in the timeline. None of the other videos have this little yellow button, although I am not convinced that this is the one causing the problem. Here is an image of it:
http://dombovari.com/stuff/imovie.png
Any ideas why the video playback would stop when I export it? It plays fine in iMovie when I preview the project, but when exporting, the video playback stops.
Thanks!

I have this very same problem. All 640x480 clips shot with a Canon SD550. iMovie 5 will play back everything fine in iMovie, but once I export the file using H.264 or MPEG-4, the video stops after about 30 seconds (of the 3 and half minutes of the video). The music still plays, but the video has not exported properly (and it shows in the file size).
What WILL work is if you export it to web, but I can't use that. I need it exported at its full quality. (Also will not work, by the way.) But, again, it plays in iMovie just fine. I even tried exporting from the timeline file (with the reference media files) in the iMovie file package—but I get the exact same results.
Quite frustrating considering it works in iMovie just fine. Any other ideas, folks?
