Premiere CC 2014 Won't Play

Premiere won't play back video. The "Play" button stays engaged revealing the "Stop Button" underneath, but the Timecode doesn't scroll and the Play Head never moves.
Specs:
10.9.5
3.69 i7
32GB Ram

One of the first things to try (as it's quick & simple and sometimes fixes the problem) is to quit PrPro, then while holding down opt & shift (I think ... might be alt-shift) start up PrPro again. This forces PrPro to start up WITHOUT referencing the current "preferences" file, and if it starts & work right, you had a corrupt pref's file. And you're good to go. Past that ... check back in. And actually,  there have been other threads with this problem, but if you don't search by the EXACT words used in the title or any category tags the OP of the other thread used, this search will NOT look around creatively.
Some people go out & in a different tab of their browser use Google to search for the problem. To find an answer here ...

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 won't play anything.

    Today I launched up a brand new install of Premiere Pro CC 2014 (it's a trial) on a brand new iMac (3.5 GHz intel Core i7, 32 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB) and my project that was working fine yesterday on my MacBook Air will not play anything. The footage is all DSLR H.264. My sequences won't play, my clips won't play, my merged clips won't play, my multi cam sequences won't play. You hit play and the play button changes to a stop button, but nothing happens. I tried logging in as root but it won't play there either. All the footage is sitting on an external 4TB Lacie thunderbolt drive.
    Any thoughts??

  • Premiere CC 2014 won't playback

    Hi,
    I am working on a piece utilizing mostly still images (a mixture of PNGs, JPGs, and TIFFs) which have been animated using the motion properties.  This was originally a FCP7 project that I moved over to PPro via XML when my company migrated to the Adobe CC.  Starting yesterday it won't play back at all; I will press the spacebar to start playback and the play button in the program monitor will flash to the stop icon, like it's trying to play, but then it doesn't do anything.  Sometimes it won't even refresh the program monitor when I move the CTI around the sequence.  I've tried restarting the program and the computer and a few times it would resume refreshing the program monitor when I move the CTI, but it still won't play back.
    I am running Premiere Pro 2014.0.1 on a Mac Pro with OSX 10.8.5, 2 x 2.4 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon CPU, 14 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro 4000 GPU with 2 GB VRAM.
    Any help you can give will be most appreciated!

    Hi lastminutevp,
    Thank you so much for the screenshot. please create a new sequence by making a right click on the Video and select "New Sequence from clip" option.
    Check the playback in the new Sequence. If it works copy the complete timeline to the new sequence.
    Thank you.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Won't Play Anything Without Stopping

    I have captured HDV and DV footage and Premiere won't play anything. Not in the Source monitor, not in the Timeline/Program Monitor. It won't even play a color matte or bars and tone. It will play for less than a second, stop and the marker will go back to the original starting point.
    I am running PPro on a Macbook Core 2 Duo and the footage is fine. I can play it outside of Premiere in other programs but I cannot figure anything out inside of Premiere. Its fully updated and everything.
    Can anyone help me?

    Hi Rod,
    After some hardcore Googling and some nifty search tricks, I found I wasn't the only one. I found this thread where people were having the exact same problem:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2575099
    I did what someone else said where I enabled the root user, logged into that account, loaded Premiere and changed the Audio Hardware to System Default. I then went back to my user account and loaded the project file I was working in. Everything works great now. Thank god.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 won't play imported files even after changing format, etc?

    Camera: Canon Legria HFM41
    Video file format: MTS (1920 x 1080)
    For the past few days I've been trying to understand why my video files won't play in Premiere, I'll import them, and when I press play the audio will work, but the video will play smoothly for only a few seconds then stop, skipping frames/slowing the speed of the video - I've read a lot of these forums on similar issues, then I tried converting the format to avi/mp4 and they still won't play smoothly when importing to Premiere Pro.. Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong/how to solve this.. Thank you!

  • Adobe Audition CC 2014 Won't Play Anything

    It was working fine yesterday, but now when I open my project file, it won't play. I've tried opening other files and nada, nothing will play when I press the play button or hit the spacebar. I unplugged my mic and it still won't play. I've re-started the app numerous times and restarted my laptop as well. Nothing works. I'm using the LATEST version on a Dell PC running Windows 7. Please HELP!

    ?Try clicking Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware then change the "Master Clock" setting from Output to Input, click Apply, then revert it back to Output and Apply once more and let us know if that has any effect, please.

  • Premiere Pro CC14 won't play video in timeline...

    I upgraded to Premiere Pro CC14 when it came out. I've since started a new project that is a mix of stills and video with various FX. Before, everything played fine. Now, I open the project and can scrub through the timeline, but I hit play and nothing happens. The "play" button in the program window switches from the "play" symbol to the "stop" symbol, but nothing happens. The program doesn't freeze, but it just sits there, not doing anything. Even opening the source footage to play back in the source monitor, nothing happens. Otherwise, you can open things and they show up, but nothing plays.
    Even starting a new project from scratch, importing one piece of video, and trying to play it gets the same result.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Is there a solution?
    I'm working on a MacBookPro Retina, with 16GB of RAM on Mavericks.

    >Before, everything played
    Before what? What changed? Did you update anything?
    I'm Windows, but some saved Mac links that may (or may not) help

  • Premiere CC 2014 won't recognise .m2ts files from project editied in CS5.5

    Hi,
    I'm trying to open a project I edited in Premiere CS5.5, but CC 2014 tells me .m2ts files aren't a 'supported compression type'.
    They worked in CS5.5, why not now? All are Dolby rather than LCPM audio, shot with a Sony NX70 camera or an FS100.
    Can you give me any alternative import workflow (that doesn't involve transcoding everything, and rebuilding clip by clip, preferably:-)! )
    cheers
    Scot
    (16 year professional broadcast Premiere veteran!) (now going a bit mad...)

    Well.... sort of... I was having a problem with old projects not recognising the .m2TS or .MTS files, and the same with importing to new projects. It seems to have disappeared with the last update, but now I have an issue with these files and with .MP4 files from my Canon XA20 either not dropping audio onto the timeline, or dropping audio but not the vision track. The workaround is to right click on the file and change the audio properties to 'adaptive'. Sometimes I have to set the interpret video setting to interlaced, upper field dominant, as premiere is occasionally seeing the files as progressive... and I only ever shoot interlaced. Weirdness.
    Once I do this, the files happily insert on the timeline.

  • Premiere Pro CC won't play audio from video file

    I've been trying to edit videos recorded with Bandicam in Premiere Pro CC. The video file itself is fine, when I play it in Windows Media Player it all checks out, but once I get it into a sequence in Premiere Pro CC despite it showing the audio track, and turning the volume to max, there's no sound! How do I get it to pick up the audio that I KNOW is there?

  • Premiere Pro Timeline Won't Play

    Recently purchased a Dell Precision T5600 workstation - Win7 64bit, 32 GB of RAM, Quadro 4000 (driver ver. 307.45).  CS6 Production Premium.
    Hitting the space bar nor hitting the play button on the program or source monitor will play a video or audio file.  Play icon changes to the square icon but nothing happens.  A week or so ago I had the same issue.  I uninstalled and reinstalled the suite to get it to work.  Now the issue has cropped up again.  Audition and AE seem to work fine.   Only seems to be an issue with Premiere. Any ideas?  Any help would be appreciated.

  • Premiere Pro CC won't play my Flash files

    In older versions of Premiere (CS6), I was able to play Flash flv files in my movie sequence. I would download the flv files from iStock as comps and play them in the movie as placeholders until I was ready to purchase them. They no longer play in Premiere CC. What happened and how can I get around this without using an old version of Premiere?
    Thanks!!!

    Support for importing and exporting Flash files has been removed. Can't import FLV files

  • Premiere pro cs6 won't play

    I have a 3GHz 8 Core Intel Xeon e5 Mac Pro running 10.9.5.
    My Premiere cs6 will not play the time line. I hit space bar and also used the play button pin the Program side and it changes to a square (stop)symbol but the playhead doesn't move. I can get the symbol to change back when I move the playhead with my mouse.

    Hi,
    I suspect something is wrong with the Audio Hardware settings. Do you remember connecting any other audio device to the computer? (Such as headphones or something else)
    If not, try to reset the preferences for Premiere and see if that helps

  • CS4 Premiere Pro Clips Won't Play in Source Monitor/Program Monitor

    I can't get clips to play in source monitor/program monitor/preview pane in Pr Pro.  I have spent hours looking through the forums to try and find a fix and I have troubleshot the following.....
    1. Codecs are not broken... or seem to be working according to Sherlock
    2. Video and audio drivers up to date
    3. Unistalled and re-install Pr Pro then updated via updater
    Here is the funny thing...
    In Encore, OnLocation, and other Suite program the play functionality works just fine....the only one it doesn't is Pr Pro.
    Question:
    Is the source code to playback video in Pr different then the other suite programs or am I just making a trivial mistake in Pr?
    Sorry for the novice question but I am about to give up and have no where to turn.
    Hardware Specs
    CPU 3.6 GHz
    HD 1TB 7200 RPM
    RAM 2 MB (is this my issue?)
    Video: Open GL

    Number of issues here:
    1. Your system does not meet minimum requirements.
    2. Your CPU, disks, memory are not enough for anything other than DV.
    3. What video camera was used with what codec on what OS with which version of PR. etc.
    Some suggestions... and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

  • Premiere CC 2014 won't open at all!  Help

    I cannot get Premiere to open at all.  Crashes right after the splash screen.  I have never opened the program before.  After a couple of tries, I uninstalled Premiere CC  This came off fine.  Tried reopening Premiere cc2014 again.  No luck.  Still crashed after splash screen.  Any Ideas?

    Good morning TerryTheNib,
    Please navigate to the following location: C:\Windows\system32\amdocl64.dll
    Move the file amdocl64.dll to desktop and that should fix it. Let me know if this helped.
    Thanks!
