Playback Lag in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac

I'm editing a project in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac, and the playback is really laggy. Its fine if you're viewing one long clip, but it gets really laggy when it switches between clips. The sound will play, but the playback screen will be frozen on the last frame from the previous clip. I use the latest thin model of the iMac. Can anybody help me?

>Premiere Pro CS6 with the 6.0.0 update
Is there a specific reason you have not applied the bug fix updates?
All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install
updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product

Also, only having one hard drive means your computer is having to "struggle" with file operations
An EXAMPLE concerning trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the
orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do
Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct
the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with
your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another
very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more on partitions) with Windows (or Mac OS)
and software on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is
not slowed down by trying to do everything
External eSata or USB3 are both fast enough for video editing... eSata is better -

Do not try to use USB2 for video editing, it is too slow

How can I down a Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 for mac on a computer with windows7 system?
Explanations with pics will be better.
Thanks.

Not sure what you are asking. A download is a download. what you do with the file afterwards is entirely up to you. If you mean to install Mac software on Win, then no, this can't be done. Furthermore you also would have to have a proper Win serial.
Order an Adobe product platform swap or language swap

USB Mic not working in Premiere Pro CS6 for Mac

So I've been editing in Premiere Pro CS6 on a mac for 6 months now. I have to do a temp VO for a project and I thought I'd try the Narration feature in the mixer. For some reason my USB mic doesn't show up in the Audio Hardware so I can't pick it. The same mic shows up in the Mac Audio Settings and even shows up in Audition. I've been having to use Audition but was curious to see if anyone out there has gotten a USB mic to work in Premiere Pro on a Mac. Would be a really cool feature if it worked.

Some USB mics work fine, but many do not. It can depend on the exact mic, or might require a different ASIO driver (maybe something like ASIO4All?), or different ASIO setting, to work.
Good luck,

Premiere Pro CS6 Trial Mac crashes on launch

I installed Master Collection CS6 on my Mac Pro tower 3,1 quad core, 16 GBs RAM. I set up a new video project in Premiere and all was going fine, loaded all assets, etc ... Next I was attempting to set up audio hardware for recording a narriation on a track. I was using a USB VoIP device. I could not arm a track for recording, so I figured audio hardware needed set up. My VoIP was already selected in Preferences>Audio Hardware once inspected, but I still could not arm a track. So, I tried Utilities>Midi Set Up>Aggregate Audio Devices to add my headset to Premiere Pro. Headset was in list but I could not add anything to premiere. Everything I checked automatically unchecked once selected.
Back to square one. So I unhooked my headset, went to Preferences>Audio Hardware and attempted to select a Built-in I/O device. Then, Premiere just crashed.
Everytime I try to open premiere it crashes. I rebooted, tried a different project, etc .... nothing!
So ... h e l p !

You are right , to use the trial you do not need the serial number however it is a prompt screen that comes up at the time of launch so that you can serialize the software and turn it to full version also it let you know the number of days left for the trial.
In your case it seems to be different , BTW what is your OS ? Premiere Pro CS6 will only work in 64 bit OS actually, it will get install on only 64 bit OS so that might be the reason you have only Encore present not Premiere Pro.

Installing plugins in premiere pro cs6 on mac??

Having trouble placing my plugins in Pp cs6 it worked in cs5 but for some reason in cs6, there no where to be found? Where do I place them? any help is appreciated!!
Note: I'm on a MAC

Hi
If the plugin which you have installed for the older version then you might have to install them again, depending upon the different plugins.
Or for the plugin which were copied they can be located MAC HDD --> Applications -->(Cmd + Click) Premiere Pro CS5 --> show package contents --> plugins.
Copy the plugins flder to the same location with premiere pro cs6.0 by doing cmd+ click on the icon.
Hope it helps
thanks

Premiere Pro CS6 for Broadcast ProRes HQ Frame rate issues

I switched from Avid to work on a quick project with DSLR footage shot on the 5D Mark III at 29.97 psf which is not to be confused with 29.97i, a standard frame rate necessary for broadcast. So the commercial spot was cut together, I punched in the proper settings (the very same settings that work with Avid 6.0+ and Final Cut Pro 7), and hit export. When exporting either a Quicktime Animation or Pro Res file from Premiere Pro CS6, premiere creates a file with a faulty framerate, it comes out as 28.4 instead of 29.97. I thought I was going crazy, but no, there are tons of documented experiences with 23.94 being 20-something, and on an on. It seems as if Adobe did not do a good enough job with integrating the Pro Res codec into their software. The only way I could get around it was to export to something else (Blu-ray H.264 at 29.97), and then re-encode that file to Pro Res HQ with either compressor or adobe media encoder. The problem lies in exporting progressive footage as interlaced, it just completely screws up the frame rate. The worst bit is that, I need Pro Res HQ for the distribution house for the commercial spots, they require the ProRes HQ MOV at 29.97i and if anything is off, I get charged for it.
Does anyone else have problems with Adobe Premiere lacking on the professional end? Or similar experience with this problem?
Just do a search for pro res frame rate issue premiere and you will see a lot of other users with the same issue.

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?

1 Second Playback Only in Premiere Pro CS6

I can't get video to play back for more than a second in Premiere Pro CS6. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? The files are from Canon DSLRs (T2i and 5D Mark III). These are just Quicktime files that play fine otherwise, and Adobe claims that DSLR files are natively supported in CS6. These files play fine in Final Cut Pro 7 and X, by the way. My MacBook Pro computer is 64bit compatible. This is stopping me from editing entirely. Solutions?

Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac crashes when attempting to capture HDV

I've seen this topic previously but without an answer and was hoping for an update. I'm using Premiere Pro CS6.0.5 on a MacPro running 10.9.2
The camera is a Sony HDR-FX7. When in the capture window, the camera is recognized. I can rewind and fast forward but when i push play it immediately crashes and gives the "serious error" notice. The camera settings are set to HDV in the VCR setting and PremierePro is set to HDV capture format as well.

Premiere Pro CC for Mac introduced a viral memory leak

I have been editing an important new project in Premiere Pro CS6 with a deadline of tomorrow to take a trailer down to the L.A. Film Festival. An option to download the new CC versions of the Adobe products seemed interesting, especially as I could continue to work with the CS6 version. However, having downloaded several of the CC versions (Premiere Pro, Photoshop, AE, amongst others) it now seems that there is a serious memory leak. I watch my memory meter (32Gb installed, Intel i7 machine with applications running off an SSD) drop from 87% to 0% over the course of about 7 minutes. And according to the memory meter, all used memory is going to Premiere Pro.
Bigger problem. There must be some shared library or application files because now the same thing happens in Premiere Pro CS6.
This is a real issue. A once in a lifetime opportunity has arisen and Premiere Pro has really screwed it up for me. The application is unusable.
When will there be some accountability for this issue at Adobe and, more importantly, an urgent fix? Perhaps it was a mistake, after all, to switch from FCPX... Is there AVID in my foreseeable future?

Take your Time Machine and rewind your system to before you installed CC. Problem solved. Specifically, rewind your HD/Library/Application Support/Adobe and user/Library/Application Support/Adobe folders and see if that fixes it. It fixed a wonky AE CS6 I had earlier this week (completely unrelated to CC)
Keep with CS6 until the first updates to CC roll out.
(And don't ever upgrade a critical app mid-project. I know you know that's a huge professional no-no. You had a system that worked just fine.)

Video Playback Issue in Premiere Pro CS6

I am editing a video with 2 video tracks on top of each other. When I scrub through the timeline or jusy hit play in the timeline the top layer of video scales to about 50% and plays on top of the layer below it. But it didn't do that 2 days ago. Any ideas on what could cause that? I have attached a screen capture of what it looks like while playing back. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
::Premiere Pro CS6 (v 6.0.5) and a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.9 on a SSD, and 8GB RAM::

They are both 1280x720 but they were shot on 2 different cameras. The thing that is killing me is that I have done this exact same camera setup and editing before without this issue. And it only scales the top layer video down while scrubbing or playing back (spacebar). When the playhead is still it pops back to normal.

Playback and render issues Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac

I have been having very "skippy" and sluggish issues when it comes to playback and editing. I have deleted all the old render files from my project and my hard drive, but nothing seems to work. Can someone please help me? I'm not sure if it is a space issue or what, but I haven't had much of these problems before. I know it's not a sequence settings issue, so I am very confused. My footage all comes from a Maxell P2 Eseries card and my computer specs are:
iMac
Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3

No playback in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

Hello,
I am learning from a training book for Adobe Premiere CS6 using a trial version, and there is always a problem with playback where the clips don't play when I press space bar or the j,k, and L keys. I am using the minimum requirements on my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 and I understand it's not good to edit from USB which I am doing. However, is there any way to fix this playback issue? Sometimes it plays when I change the audio hardware settings.
Thanks,
Victor Vazquez
