Playback issues - squishing in Premiere CC

Hey All,
So I've run into this problem a couple of times. In the past, it has just sort of fixed itself, but now I'm having it again and want to know how I can fix it. I have a sequence that's been edited and rendered, however, during playback, the image gets squished in the playback window. If I stop playback, the image returns to normal (1920x1080 in this case). I found in past sequences that if I turn off my transparent layer that includes timecode, usually the playback is fixed. That is not the case with my current sequence though. Below is a screenshot of the playback issue along with my sequence settings:
I've noticed that if I take away any effects, like color correction or cross dissolves, and return the footage to it's "raw" form, playback will work fine. Obviously, that can't be done though...since I have dissolves and slides and whatnot involved with the cut. In the screenshot above, the cafe picture is composed of 3 layers (via Photoshop) on top of the video clip. I have also tried deleting all of my render files and restarting Premiere.
I'm working on a Mac (10.7.5) out of Premiere CC
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks guys!
Hugo

Exactly what version of PPro CC are you on? If you're on  CC7.1, then you're probably hitting the issue discussed in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5828335?tstart=30#5828335. That issue (which was specific to playback resolution being set to 1/4) was fixed in 7.2.

  • ICanon C100 playback issue premiere pro cc 2014

    I am having playback issues in Premiere Pro CC 2014 with footage shot on my Canon C100 (29.97 fps).  It was happening after doing a straight import and creating a sequence using "new item".  Then, after reading some other threads here and elsewhere,  I interpreted the footage so premiere would see it as progressive (no fields) rather than interlaced, but that doe not seem to help.  It is even doing it when I play at 1/4 resolution.  The only solution seems to be to quit and restart and reopen the project.  Then it works temporarily for a little while but not long enough to actually edit.  I have done projects in Premiere with C100 footage in the past and have not experience this level of difficulty.
    My Media Cache is not going to the startup diskc(it is gong to the right place)
    I am on a Mac 2.66 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    OS X 10.8.5
    10GB 1066 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
    Please help - very frustrated.  If the solution is to transcode, it sort of kills the value of premiere in many ways.

    Hi,
    This might help :
    Go to File > Project Settings > General and change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only. Click OK and select Delete Previews.
    Thanks,

  • Premiere Pro CS6 playback issues & graphics glitches

    Hi everyone.
    For a few days now (not sure whether it's been like this since the latest update) I have been experiencing serious playback issues and graphics glitches with Premiere Pro CS6. I'm on a Macbook Pro Retina.
    Please see attached screenshot for reference. What happens is, I start Premiere - it works fine for a few minutes, but at some point things start to go wrong. The program monitor doesn't show anything anymore, even though the playhead is moving and I get audio.
    Sometimes, either the program monitor or the source monitor displays some other part of the Premiere UI or even OSX Finder windows/ other applications like safari. What you are seing in the screenshot is a glitch showing a part of the source window within the program window.
    Once this happens, there's nothing I can do but to restart Premiere.
    Does anyone else have these kinds of issues?
    Premiere is becoming unusable for me at the moment, which is a serious issue since this is my primary NLE.
    What also happens from time to time is the following: i start up my project, and once i do anything like moving the playhead, i receive the following error message "a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down" which then does exactly what it says. this will happen repeateadly until i restart my computer.
    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the forum. 
    Make sure you have the latest driver for your video card, and if you're using hardware mercury playback, then make sure you have the latest CUDA drivers from nvidia.  If that doesn't work, then please answer the questions here as completely as you can:

  • Premiere Pro CC playback issue

    I'm running premiere pro CC on a brand new mac pro, and am experiencing playback issues after rendering video. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why this happens, but I do notice it when layering multiple video tracks. When the rendered video is playedback, it seems to drop frames in the program monitor. Essentially, it looks like a flicker effect has been applied, and the video will cut out rapidly, and a black screen with apear every other frame. This stops randomly, and normal playback resumes.
    I've had this issue working with Red footage, Canon DSLR footage and GoPro footage... Footage type doesn't seem to affect it. It doesn't necessairly happen when a transition or edit has been applied... I can't figure out any sort of cause.
    Any insight would be much appreciated.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Mac Playback Issues

    I've searched for similar issues, and while I found plenty of playback issues, I didn't see anything like what I'm experiencing.
    MacPro Quad-Core Xeon 2.26 x2 (8b cores)
    12 GB ram
    OS 10.6.8 (can't update this due to other infrastructure)
    Nvidia GeForce GT 120
    FAST Fiber attached SAN
    Local Raid0 media drive
    I know the GPU isn't compatible with the Mercury hardware acceleration.
    I've been a Premiere Pro user since version 2 and have kept current through the years.  I'm happily running CS5.5 on PC's in my home office.  I recently installed the trial version of CS6 on my Mac at work to evaluate for that environment, and I'm pulling my hair out trying to get over some basic issues.  I have no problems with Media Encoder or AE. 
    In Premiere using preview or program (timeline), playback stops after roughly a second...  though it varies by several frames each time.  I tested this with various video files, .wav files, stills (jpeg, psd), etc.  I even tested with black video and bars generated inside Premiere.  The problem persists with all of the above...  click play, and playback stops after about a second.  Scrubbing works great...  I've tried different playback resolutions.  I'm not using any 3rd party monitoring devices or I/O cards on this machine.
    I have FCP 7 installed on the same machine and have no trouble editing and playing 1080i video all day long.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance! 

    The above suggestion worked for me briefly, but the problem keeps re-occuring. 
    I too am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, NVIDIA gfx card (8800) and an ATI Radeon 5500.
    Premiere played back fine in Lion and Mountain Lion, but I downgraded because I have old quicktime files and Final Cut 7 projects that i need to work with so Lion is not an option for me.
    Bizarre behavior if you ask me.
    Any help on this?

  • LEAD Codec for MotionJPEG-Premiere Elements Playback Issues

    There are several reports online (here and elsewhere) recommending installing LEAD Codec for MotionJPEG-Premiere Elements Playback Issues. Most, if not all, of the feedback is that it works and is only $10 USA dollars.
    Today I went in search of that codec at LEAD Technologies and could not find a $10 LEAD Codec.
    http://www.leadtools.com/SDK/Multimedia/Multimedia-MCMP-MJPEG-codec.htm
    Instead, I found a bunch of kits priced at way over $100.00.
    From the chat service at that web site, I discovered that the LEAD codec is no longer sold separately. In order to get that codec, you would have to buy the Multimedia SDF Kit (priced $595.00).
    Any workaround suggestions
    OR
    pay the $595.00 to get the LEAD Codec
    OR
    go the file conversion route for the MotionJPEG?

    ATR,
    Great news!
    On the PrPro forum, it's been 100% for MainConcept, and 99% for Morgan. One user could not get the Morgan to work on his/her system, but that could well have been OE on that poster's part. Still, those are not bad odds, and the 'cost" of the Morgan is better...
    Just glad that it worked for you.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Playback Unusable-PLAYBACK ISSUES

    Hello,
    I've just downloaded the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Trial, but whenever I put a clip in the sequence timeline, the playback stops after a second or so. I filmed my screen to show the problem (computer specs at the end of the video).Is it because the sequence settings do not match the clip's properties? I'm also new to Adobe Premiere.
    Here's the video:

  • Playback Issues with multiple framerates and Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme

    I recently swapped by AJA Kona Card for a Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme in order to get external monitoring in DaVinci Resolve.
    I'm working in a 1080p 23.976 project that includes some 29.97 SD and HD footage. When loading this 29.97fps footage into my source footage, I periodically encounter frozen playback (The play triangle in my toolbar becomes a square symbol and remains that way). From there I am unable to playback any footage in any timeline, and requires a full system shutdown to return to normal! The problem is seemingly intermitent, with successful playback happening sometimes.
    The 29.97 footage was DVCPRO, I attempted to transcode to Prores to troubleshoot. No dice. I believe it to be an issue related to the Decklink's inability to handle multiple framerates on-the-fly but wanted to submit here, too. I've also experienced intermittent sync delays on my broadcast monitor.
    Decklink Driver 10.0
    Premiere CC 7.2.1
    Mac OSX 10.9.2 (same problem pre-mavericks)

    Hi Andy,
    You should not have any issues with Blackmagic handling multiple formats on the fly. However, I believe the frozen playback issues your describing is related to the Desktop Video 10 driver. I suggest rolling back to 9.3.3 for the time being. Blackmagic is looking into this issue now.

  • I'm having timeline playback issues on one user on an iMac but not on another

    Ok, I'm stumped.  The iMacs we have here at the high school are set up through active directory and on the Admin account, premiere performs fantastic.  On the student accounts however, it has this weird playback issue where it will play for about a second and then stop.  You can keep pushing play but it keeps stopping.  The app doesn't crash but playback is really bad.
    I sure appreciate the help.

  • IPhone 5 music playback issues (after iOS 8 upgrade)

    Hi,
    After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 I have had many playback issues with my Music. Songs randomly skipping or stopping without even doing anything are some of the issues. Also sometimes when I am listening to a song it would fast forward the music.
    P.S. I don't sync my music, I just manually add content.
    Is there any way I can fix this problem?
    Thanks

    The way to correct the problem is to plug the device into the computer and tell it to sync.

  • Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

    We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
    We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
    When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
    Here is more technical info:
    Stuttering flv playback issue:
    Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
    Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
    Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
    Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
    We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
    We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
    We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
    Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
    Have also posted in the Director Forum.
    Any help much appreciated!

    Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
    Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better.  If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
    You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
    Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS).  If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
    Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
    Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
    Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
    Try compressing the flv with different software.  FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

  • Weird Playback Issue...

    I have this weird playback issue with iTunes for Windows. I am using Vista and I think the cause of the problem is that I am using MacDrive to access my OS X partition. But anyways, on with the problem. So the problem is that when I play a song, the song will play for like 5 seconds and then it will just go the next song. This song will do the same thing, and so-on and so-forth. Then, during this time, my Mac formatted hard drive is unavailable while iTunes is running. In "My Computer" the drive is there, but when I try to open it, Explorer freezes. Then, when I exit iTunes, it doesn't really exit. It still shows up in the task manager and when I try to end the process, it just plain doesn't end. I have to restart my computer to gain full use of it again. After the restart I can access my Mac disks, but once I start iTunes and try to play a song, I get the same thing again. And in case thats not weird enough, I can play the MP3's in WMP fine, and they will also play in iTunes fine if I actually open them, rather than just select them from my library. If I go to file open and select a song on my Mac drive, it will play fine, but then once I try to play a song from my library, I get caught in that vicious cycle. Anyone else had this problem or anything? Thanks. Also, is there an alternative program to Mac Drive that will allow me to read HFS partitions?

    Post more about your situation... what format is the video, and where are you storing the video files? i.e., on a disk other than your startup disk? The adobe install is likely not the problem... I run adobe software along side FCS on about 75 workstations, and don't see issues like you describe.
    Wavy? not accurate? what are you talking about?

  • ITunes 10.6/Quicktime 7 1080p playback issue/frame skipping

    I have a playback issue with the 1080p videos on the recent version of iTunes - 10.6. I also tried playing the same videos on Quicktime where I was able to find that the videos were playing at around 20fps as opposed to their normal rate - 24fps~25fps.
    I seem to barely meet the 1080p playback requirements on iTunes, but I know that I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Window Media Player(WMP) 12 without any issues. Aside from WMP, I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Youtube whenever hardware acceleration is enabled. I assume that WMP utilizes hardware acceleration as well.
    The playback issue/frame skipping is probably caused by iTunes 10.6 not using hardware acceleration.

  • WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

    am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

    hi slideaway!
    my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
    good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
