Premiere CS4 hangs at capture screen

I recently loaded CS4 on a Windows 7 64bit computer. I only have 2 prodjects loaded. When I open the first project, it hangs on a blank (White) capture screen. It won't let me do anything but close out. It doesn't matter if the capture device in connected or not. I can open the 2nd project by activating the capture device first and allowing it to open Premiere. The first program won't open this way either. I thought it may be something else on the the computer interferring but there's not much more on this computer. Another odd quirk but this one won't let me do anything with my project. Any ideas?
Thanks

I did update SonicFire Pro 5.0 to 5.5 just after I installed CS4. It is a new computer build, Windows 7 64bit 12 gig ram HD7850 videocard.
When CS4 starts it goes to the open screen. I click on the project and Premiere opens but hangs on the capture screen but it's blank.(no controlls) This happens before I do anything else. I can't minimize or close without going into the task Mgr. I can't open from the file on the harddrive, Bridge etc. When I connect my capture device and turn it on, autoplay gives me the option to open in CS4. SOMETIMES I can open one of my projects. (I only have 2) sometimes I can't. Frustrating! When it does open, it works fine. The first project that has the band will open to CS4 but hangs on the capture screen. When no capture device is connected, the band project will open to CS4 and STILL hang at the capture screen with no capture device connected.

Premiere CS4 Hangs when scrubbing, saving...and Droverlord window

Hi There!. I have a serious problem with Premiere Pro CS4 that cannot let me working.
I have a project that I load, and the simply thing of copy/paste attributes from a clip to another and make a Save, freezzes Premiere, so must to kill it. But not only making this, but simply scrubbing, playing or doing little editing task. In one of these errors, a sub-windows appears, where called Droverlord. I don´t know what is this, and why appears.
I´m editing under a Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, a Core i7 920, 6GB RAM and a recently purchased GTX260. Maybe will be the Graphics Board?. I simply switched the old Graphics Board and install latest drivers from Nvidia.
I try to deactivate OpenGL in Premiere CS4, but there is not option to do it, to check if can be these the problem...
Can anyone help me?. I have very stuck with this, because cannot work with Premiere, it´s really impossible...
Thanks!

Hi again, thanks for your suggestions, but I found something that can clarify...In some of the clips that I placed in the Timeline, I have put some filters from Boris Continuum Complete set. These filters worked before I change my graphics card, but now appears to hangs or freeze premiere.
I have loaded my Project and delete all the BCC filters in the clips and WORKS!.
I have loaded again the project (with the filters already applied) and directly RENDER with Adobe Media Encoder...and the filters SHOW!. So, I think that will be a Boris Continuum problem related.
I try to move in the Project in the clips affected by the BCC filters, and appears to hangs, but waiting a lot...It works!.
Arg!. I don´t know what happen here!

Premiere CS4 not capturing but was working fine

Hello folks,
I am using Premiere CS4 and was capturing fine just yesterday, but now it is showing a blank screen in the capture window and after an attempt to record it states that 'no frames were captured'. It is playing just fine on the video camera. I don't believe I'm doing anything differently from yesterday, and I have plenty of hard drive space. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance,

Premiere CS4 capture screen won't open

I was capturing video from mini DV tapes. after 7 tapes of capture, Premiere CS4 capture screen wouldn't open. I had the thing working fine and for some unknown reason the capture screen quit opening. .I've tried restarting the program restarting the computer, I've clicked on the file drop down menu and clicked capture, I've pressed f5.... NOTHING IS WORKING! ARRRRH!!!! Any hep will be appreiciated,?
Thank you in advance,
Mel, aka magicmel

Hi Mel,
I also have this problem, I got around it by using video DVD maker (http://www.protectedsoft.com/) (chose the 'capture' option) and then editing the avi in premier (cs4). This works fine.
A little additional info on my problem:
I am also using mini DV tapes and capturing through a USB, using windows vista 32bit. I do this every day and it has been fine for a year, but suddenly one day it didn’t want to. At first the capture window would open but 'capture device offline' would show, even with the mini dv plugged in and switched on, tape running/paused/stopped. After clicking on the window, it would then turn black, then white and then freeze. Trying to close the capture window by clicking the red 'x' would crash premier, prompting window's 'this programme is not responding' window that meant that a crash report would not be generated.
As I have said before the usb cable and mini dv are fine as I have successfully managed to capture through another programme. I have also since run the adobe updater which has updated all my adobe software. I have restarted the programme, computer, opened old projects, started new ones and all have not been successful in making any change in the capture crash.
I remember this happening on my old laptop, and it was solved by just waiting for the programme to respond after 5-7mins. I guess this was to do with the computer being low spec. However This same waiting game does not have any effect on my current laptop, I have waited for 30mins and thought that was enough, the current computer I am using has been absolutely fine for about a year, so why the problems suddenly?
Only things I can think of that have been changed recently on my laptop are: re-install of windows service pack 2, firewall modifications.
However the rest of the premier programme works fine, rendering, effects, exporting etc.
Hope this helps someone!

Premiere CS4 capture tool problem

Hello there,
I am experiencing a weird problem with Premiere CS4. I am not able to capture DV footage from my Sony DSR-PDX10P. When I open the Capture window (F5), it's working very slowly compared to anything else with the software. If I have the camera connected through firewire, it most often crashes. It does recognize the camera and if it doesn't crash, it states "stopped" but fails to show the footage when I run it. Preview screen stays black. A few times I have managed to get a record command through, whichafter Pr states "recording" but the counter stays at 00:00:00:00 and afterwards gives me "No frames were recorded" or a similar message. Anything I do within the Capture window happens like 5-10 seconds after I've given a command.
I know the problem isn't firewire-related, because OnLocation CS4 works like it should. DV footage from the camera can be watched and recorded without a problem. And the .avi files recorded in OnLocation open up in Premiere nicely. Otherwise Premiere is working just fine.
Possibly the strangest thing is that less than 2 weeks ago I used the capture function with the same camera without any problems. The only thing in my setup that has changed since was the installation of Microsoft Silverlight (which sucks but I needed to watch a video that required it - stupid move though). I have tried uninstalling it and opening a restore point before it was installed - without an effect.
I know I CAN still record footage through OnLocation, so this is not lifethreatning. I'd still prefer Premiere and of course would like to know what the hell is wrong with the capture tool. Or whatever the cause may be.
(Btw, another problem I have, more of a sidenote here but if someone would have an idea, has to do with AE CS4's RAM preview - it works once just fine, then crashes. Haven't had any problems with that before and it also worked like it should a few weeks back. Wonder if these two problems (AE and Pr) could be strangely connected? I've tried different settings (with and without OpenGL, Prevent DLL Address Space Fragmentation and different CPU/RAM level combinations) without effect - and again, with the settings I had it did work a few weeks ago)
I've started a thread once before with a CS4 problem so if need be, you can check my (unchanged) hardware data here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2488816#2488816
I'm eager to hear if someone would have an idea. Thanks!

CS5 Premiere, After Effects, and Encore hang on splash screen - Solution

I just installed Production Premium CS5 on a Windows 7 64 bit system. The install went without a hitch, but when I attempted to start Premiere, After Effects or Encore, they would all hang at some place with the splash screen showing. I spent 2 hours on the phone with Adobe and they never solved the problem. They had me uninstall iTunes and Quicktime, upgrade my nVidea driver and upgrade to a newer version of Quicktime. None of this made a difference and at that point I realized they were not going to fix my problem. The first woman was an idiot and the guy I spoke to next was a lot better, but no solution. Premiere was hanging when loading the Quicktime plug-ins.
Then I had an Aha! moment. I shut off User Account Control, rebooted and then everything worked. I could also get the programs to work with UAC on if I changed the shortcut to "Run as Administrator" but then there would be a UAC prompt. By the way, I was running as a user with full administrator privileges.
I am astounded that Adobe has never encountered this problem before and did not have an immediate solution. Once again, Adobe Tech Support has continued to provide pathetic tech support.
Steve

The plug-ins that were involved in the hang on the splash screen were:
ExporterQuickTimeHost.prm
ImporterQuickTime.prm
The splash screen would hang for 5 minutes on each of these and then if PPro started it would only be a plain white window with the Menu Bar and then there would be no further response.

Can't capture w/ Firewire in Premiere CS4

Hello All,
I am trying to capture video footage from my Canon XL2 camera into Premiere CS4 using Firewire. I keep getting the message that the 'Capture Device is Offline'. I went into the camera settings and noticed that AV>DV was turned OFF, so I turned in to ON, but still nothing. Not sure why I am having these issues when I haven't had them in the past. Can someone help?
Thank you,

Adobe soundbooth cs4 hangs when called from premiere cs4 in windows 7 64 bit

Whenever I try to edit a soundfile from within premiere cs4 Soundbooth starts and then hangs on my Windows 7 Pro 64-bit machine; works fine in XP pro.

I discovered the problem only occurs once I try to open an mp3 file in Soundbooth CS4 from within Premiere CS4 and Sounddbooth is not already running.
If I open Soundbooth before I try to open an mp3 or any sound file in Soundbooth CS4 from within Premiere CS4 then there are no problems. So the workaround is easy: start Soundbooth before I try to edit soundfiles form within Premiere.
Question: are you using 64 bit Windows 7?

Premiere Pro CC hangs on splash screen "loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle"

Premiere Pro CC hangs on splash screen "loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle"
This happened before when I had CS6. I'm now using CC and haven't had problems until now. I again get the hang up while loading. Previously I trashed the loading ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle file and this solved the problem.
I tried to contact support. I thought my subscription to CC included support, apparently not.
Anyone else have this Problem?
Brian

Thanks for the response Kevin.
I tried repairing permissions.
I recently installed OSX 10.8.4 but I've been succesfully using PP since then. PP is up to date v7.0.1
I have read the other forum posts on this.
Again, this problem cropped up using PP CS6, but I was able fix it using this procedure:
1. Go to Applications
2. Go to Adobe Premiere CS6
3. Right click on the application and click on “Show Package Contents”
4. Go to Contents –> Plug-ins –> Common
5. Move the following files to the desktop: ExporterQuicktimeHost.bundle and ImporterQuicktimeHost.bundle
6. Restart Adobe Premiere CS6 and it will successfully open up
This no longer fixes it.
I desperately need to get back to work.
Even though I feel Adobe support should be included in a CC subscription, I'm considering purchasing Adobe Bronze support with a max wait time of 4 hours and only alloted phone calls for $175
thanks anyway

Sony Handycam HC96 will not capture in Premiere CS4

We have a lot of film on a Sony Handycam DCR-HC96. Premiere CS4 running on a MAC sees the camera for control purposes, but will not capture video from it. Since the Handycam only has Firewire 400 output, we are running through a 400 to 800 adapter to get to the Powerbook Pro. Any ideas why Premiere will not capture video from this camera?? Any idea what settings to try??
Thanks

Unfortunately, you have posted to the Premiere forum. This was the precursor to PrPro. The MOD's will probably move this out to the PrPro forum, where you will get more comments. Do not be surprised, when your post appears in the PrPro forum.
Good luck,
Hunt

CS4 - video components hang at splash screen

I had CS4 installed and running well under Vista Ultimate 64. Machine is Intex Zeon dual 4-core @2,5GHz, 8GB RAM. Graphics card is ATI Radeon 4800 1GB RAM.
I uninstalled CS4 and upgraded the computer to Win 7 Ult 64.The upgrade went well and all software still works as normal - except CS4!
I now have problems with various components.
AFX hangs at "Initializing Media Core"
ME hangs at "Loading ExporterAVI.prm"
Premiere Pro hangs at "Loading ExporterAVI.prm"
Soundbooth hangs at "Loading ExporterAVI.prm"
On Location, Illustrator and Photoshop all open OK.
I had Boris BCC 7 installed but have uninstalled that, then uninstalled and reinstalled CS4.
I have QuickTime 7.7.1 installed.
I'd be most grateful for any suggestions!
Thanks in advance,
Alex House

That's not prefs related. Such issues indicate busted CoDecs, which might relate to your running a Win upgrade rather than install from a clean slate. I would try to uninstall and deactivate CS4 again with erasure of the serial number, then run the and reinstall Creative Suite Cleaner Tool again.

Windows Server 2012r2 WDS capture image hangs at black screen

And is update 1 integrated with the original image or you install it manually after installation?
In order to address the issue, we need collect some more informaiton.
