Premiere CS5 choppy every 12. second

Hi,
can someone help me with this promlem. First I use ATI radeon 5850 and I check everything, but I didn`t find any solution.
So I thought maybe my graphig card caused promlem. Now I have Nvidia GeForce GTX465, but still I have same issue.
Computer is very powerfull with 12G ram and i7 and it dosen`t matter what material I edit. It`s allways jerk one frame in after every 12 second.
This promlem is only with premiere, all players shows material well (vlc, quicktime, windowsmedia).
It`s really annoing, if somebody know what cause this, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

My best GUESS is that you have software running in the background that does "something" every 12 seconds, and that "something" causes a problem with Premiere
Work through all of the steps (ideas) listed at http://ppro.wikia.com/wiki/Troubleshooting
If your problem isn't fixed after you follow all of the steps, report back with ALL OF THE DETAILS asked for in the FINALLY section, the questions at the end of the troubleshooting link... most especially the codec used... see Question 1

Adobe Premiere CC crashes every ~10 seconds

Hi, today I installed Premiere CC and After Effects CC on a computer at work. Here are the specs of the computer.
BIOS: BIOS Date: 01/10/13 08:20:50 Ver: A12.00
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
Memory: 8192MB RAM
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
Graphics: Intel(R) HD 4000
I edited some footage for about 30 minutes, and then Premiere crashed. I figured I was about done anyway and opened up AE, and worked for awhile. I switched back to Premiere to do more work, and it started crashing every ~10 seconds. So I'd open, edit for about 6 seconds, save, and it'd crash. Reopen, edit for a few seconds, save, etc. I finally finished the editing, but of course it wouldn't stay open long enough to export anything.
So I opened up AME, and dragged the .prproj into it. For awhile, it would just say "Reading XMP" for a long time, and so I eventually would quit out of it. After a while, it stopped, and I could edit the export settings. Once I got those set up, I tried to export. No good. It'd export a bit, and it would freeze. Then, a dialogue box saying "Adobe Premiere CC has stopped working" would pop up, and then AME would export a little more, etc. I figured out that killing the process "PProHeadless" causes the same export/freeze phenomenon. But the final exported file had inserts of "media pending" in the video. I figured that it was pretty drastic to be killing processes, so I wasn't too surprised.
At any rate, I'd really like to be able to edit at some point. I'd appreciate your help. Also, I don't have administrator priveledges on the computer... but I can probably get them if it's an absolute must.

Flush the media cache and the project cache.

Premiere CS5 crashes every time I select the effects tab.

I'm running windows 7 (64bit) with the latest version of Premiere CS5 (I think it was 5.0.3, or maybe 5.0.2? Either way the updater said it was the current version). Every time I select the "Effects" window in my layout premiere crashes. It used to work perfectly, then a week or so ago I noticed one of my projects was crashing when I tried to open it. Since then, that project has crashed for me every time, and while I can import it into a new project safely, now I can no longer open my effects window (or apply effects).
I have already tried uninstalling 3rd party effects, uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere (all of CS5), and resetting my preferences. Nothing helped.

What CAN happen is that a Windows update will change some DLL in Windows that breaks something in software... usually related to the graphics adapter

Premiere CS5 Crashing every 5 to 7 minutes on Mac Pro

Hi Forum,
I know it's been asked by many people before, but the situation described by other editors for some reason seems a little different than in their cases, so I need to ask my own question.
I work with video/audio files recorded using Canon 5D Mark II camera. After I launch the project I wait a few minutes until the software loads all media. Due to the job requirements I have to have all footage placed in a sequence on the timeline. I scrub through the timeline selecting the good shots. I save the project about once a minute as per client request. I copy some of the clips to the clipboard and paste them to different sequences.
From what I could observe, the software crashes in four situations:
– sometimes while or immediately after I paste the clip into a different sequence;
– sometimes when I just begin scrubbing through a new clip after I deleted a small portion of the previous clip;
– sometimes when I save, usually after deleting a small portion of a clip (in that case the save bar freezes and if I'm fast I can prevent the crash bu canceling the save);
– and sometimes when I extend or shorten a clip with a Trim tool, after I used the Razor tool on a clip.
In all cases I get the rainbow ball first and then the software crashes.
All cases seem to have one thing in common: they all occur after I do something to the clip, on the next action. Maybe this information is not relevant though, correlation doesn't imply causation.
Is there a doctor in the house who could help diagnose the patient?
Would be grateful for your help, as always.
Best regards,
Dimitri Vorontzov

Dimitri,
Any "crashing" is highly UNpopular on this forum. We all hate it, whether PC, or Mac. Unfortunately, I believe that a lot of folk are still "thinking" about how to help you. Also, some folk are probably out of the mix, as they are PC-only. I know that I am totally lost with things-Mac, so am pretty much useless here.
Not sure that I have poured over the entire thread, as I hope that a Mac-user would be around to get this solved almost instantly. However, if you have not posted the full details of your workstation, I'd do that, in case someone spots a potential issue for you. If it's up-thread already, just ignore that request. Also, if it's not a Mac-specific issue, but maybe some hardware issue, then perhaps the PC-folk can offer something useful.
Wish I even had something for you to try, but you know how Mac-illiterate I am.
Good luck,
Hunt

Screen goes black for 3 seconds in premiere CS5 every time I click

This is the first time I run Premiere CS5... On a fresh system install.
I suspect it's not playing well with my video card, a Radeon HD 4870 with 1GB Ram... Very standard stuff. I am running window 7 64 bit with 12 gb RAM, a week old build. I have all the updates and latest drivers, sigh. After Effects CS5 runs fine, Maya 2010 runs fine, Quicktime runs fine... What gives.
Here's what happens: I only need to launch Premiere, right away I get the problem. The screen goes black 3 seconds before the prompt to create a new project. Once I create the project, the application workspace comes in, but if I click any menu, drag a tool window (whatever they are called), the screen goes black 3 seconds then comes back. Its basically impossible to work...Huge drag.
Update:
The problem stopped after I went into the 'device settings' in preferences and set the device to 'none'....When I clicked on the device settings panel, my monitor went black, and there was a 'no signal' warning that came up, as if the DVI-D signal was dead. I was able to restore the signal by hitting ctrl-alt-del which switched me out of Premiere onto the desktop. Clearly, there is some issue with video. I switched back into Premiere and was able then to set to no devices.
I'm not doing any capture at the moment, but I can only pray that it's some sort of bug related to not having a device connected? I plan on bringing footage from a RED in the next month. I upgraded to CS5 specifically so that I could use more than 4 gigs of RAM and for the new features.

THank you for sending this.
I followed the benchmark directions, and I get an error at the final step
when I run the script:
line 99
Error: path not found
I tried for an hour different things, namely to re run the whole test
procedure, deleting the output files, etc... he script is looking for
something in the preview files that it is not finding. I think the procedure
was written for a previous version, because the metadata settings are
different in my version of AME, and I don't know how much that affects it.
Also, AME increments the file names when it renders them so that I did not
get the right output file names at the first render. I had to turn off
incrementing and manually name each clip before rendering. The vb scricpt
looks for these names, so I understand it is important. I can't figure out,
however, what the script is looking for in the preview folder and not
finding.
After spending almost two hours trying to troubleshoot the script, I gave
up. I can tell you tho that it takes about 6-7 minutes on my box to encode
all the videos.

Premiere Pro CC 7.1 choppy playback every 12 seconds

Hi,
I have a strange problem. I'm playing back 1080p/23.976 MXF footage on a 1080p/23.976 MXF timeline (identical), and the video stutters every 12 seconds. It manifests as a kind of deja-vu, where a small section of maybe 5 frames appears to play twice. During it, the audio continues perfectly, and I have perfect lip-sync throughout. So I believe that what's happening is that PP is dropping 5 frames and then playing the next 5 frames twice. Otherwise I can't explain why it maintains lip-sync, and the audio plays continuously at the right pitch. It's like an odd repeating-time artifact that would be a plot-point on Star Trek.
The problem is not in the video file itself -- if I play it again, it happens somewhere else, and it doesn't appear in exports. It's strictly playback.
My system is extremely strong, Core i7, 48 GB RAM, at least 100 MB/sec throughput from the RAID. During the stutter, there's nothing to see on the CPU graph. I don't otherwise have video playback issues on the machine. It's only in PP.
I've tried switching in and out of the Mercury CUDA vs. CPU, and it makes no difference. It also happens whether I play a clip in the source monitor or on the timeline. It happens whether or not I'm video mirroring. It happens regardless of what the playback resolution is. It happens regardless of what codec the footage is. It happens with both MXF, MPEG and MP4.
Most importantly, the Dropped Frame Indicator does *not* detect that it's happening.
While it's certainly possible to keep uninstalling things to find out if maybe something is interacting with PP in a bad way, that's very destructive on a work-system, and I want to hear if anyone has experienced something similar.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi,
I solved it, and I'm posting the solution here for someone else. It has to do with the Turbo mode on the Core i7 processor.
I happened to notice that the jump happened during a period of no video on the timeline, and I saw that the playhead literally jumped back, which led me to conclude that this had nothing to do with GPU, but was related to the timebase. I searched the Adobe forums for posts related to a jumping playhead, and found a guy who said that the Turbo mode on the Core i7 processor messes with Premiere's timebase, and the playhead jump is a correction for it.
Switch do regular High Performance mode, and video is completely smooth.
Thank God I didn't go out and buy new video cards and tore the computer apart and did clean installs as was suggested. But it's pure luck, that would have been my next step.
Thanks, some guy!

Imovie choppy when importing a vhs tape, stops importing every few seconds

Hi, I'm importing a bunch of homemovies into imovie for a christmas present for my parents and I've run into a few problems. I've successfully done several vhs tapes using my powerbook, a new sony vcr and a dac-100, but for some reason I am having trouble with this tape. It imported fine for about 40 minutes and then it started showing static. Every few seconds static would fill the screen and imovie would stop importing and cut that part out completely, including audio. When I watched the tape on TV it had the same static but you could still hear all of the audio. Anyway, since the static is probably a problem with the tape, I just want to figure out if there's a way that i could get imovie to import straight through the static so you can at least hear the audio smoothly?
If that's not explained very well let me know, or I can provide more detail. I'm new at this, so if anyone can help me I would really really appreciate it. Thanks!
Powerbook G4

Hi jag7423:
You probably won't be able to seperate the static from the audio but you can try. Import the video and then select Advanced / Extract Audio. Then delete the video and see if the static noise remains.
Like I said it is probably a long shot.
SoundSoap is a program that helps reduce some background noises but i don't know if it will help here.

Not a problem; not scolding, just suggesting that users there might be of more help, since CS5/CS5.5 is a whole different animal than CS4.
I suspect that, if setting playback to full resolution didn't help, there's not much you can do with these files as they are. You'll have to convert them to something else. Does the break up appear when you step through the video frame by frame? If not, you could use AME to convert these to something else, which will then let you edit a little more effectively in Premiere Pro.
EDIT: Sorry, missed that you said that exporting retained the blobs. In light of that, you'll have to look at a third-party converter to flip these. MPEG Streamclip for Windows might work.

Did a fresh install of Windows Vista and Premiere CS5 and now Premiere is buggy!

Hi everyone. I was using Premiere Pro CS5 on my quad core system editing AVCHD clips just fine and then I had to do a fresh install of Windows Vista Home Premium. I then did a fresh install of Premiere Pro CS5 on a separate hard drive and opened up one of my AVCHD projects. Now, for some reason, the same AVCHD projects that played fine before are now jittery and also show blocky artifacts. The jitter seems to be a constant jitter every second and the blocky artifacts seem to happen mostly when the subject in the clip is moving. I know the problem isn't in the original clip from my GH-1 camera because if I play the original clip that is on my hard drive, it plays just fine so, it has to be Premiere CS5 that is causing the clips to play all jerky on the timeline. Can someone please help me solve this problem? One more thing, when I reinstalled Premiere CS5, I installed the latest update from Adobe. I didn't have that update installed before when the clips played fine. Could that update be the culprit? Thanks.
My clips were recorded using a Panasonic GH1 HDSLR camera and are 1080/24p (progressive).

Premiere CS5 post alt-tab freeze

Hi all
I have this problem with Premiere CS5 (but I had it with ALL previous versions...)
If I import a lot of clips (let's say 100, a normal amount for a normal edit) - in this case P2 clips, but images or other format is the same, everything works fine.
Whenever I try to switch back and forth from/to PPRO CS5 using ALT-TAB or mouse click on windows app bar, Premiere "freezes" for many seconds, sometimes MINUTES, I would say in proportion with the number of clips in my project. It seems like every time I switch back to Premiere, it loads all the clips again, or check them or something like that.
Since going to Photoshop or another app is very frequent during editing, this is really frustrating.
I tried on many different machines, all Quad cores with 8 gigs of RAM, so in general powerful systems, but the problem remains.
It is not a disk read problem because Premiere SHOULD NOT READ anything switching back to it, and anyway I have fast disks and a 100 MB/S NAS.
Something I am missing? Some hidden switch...?
Or a terrible BUG, that continues from the beginning of the creation of Premiere?
By the way, Windows system, at the moment Win 7 64bits, but this bug was there with Vista, XP32... etc.
Thanks

Add my name to the list of having the "Not Responding" message come up every time I click anywhere outside Premier Pro. It takes 10 seconds (sometimes longer) before Premier Pro CS5 becomes available again and attempting to work before this delay is completed causes the screen to become a white tranlucent which will change back to normal after the 10 second delay. The Not Responding message is displayed after about 5 seconds
The computer in question is Win7 x64 with an i950 processor, 24 GB of ram and a four drive RAID 5 configuration.
On the good side, from what has been written here it looks like in PP CS5.5 this issue is resolved.
This makes having acquired PP CS5.5 a little easier to swallow. Now if only Adobe would deliver the DVDs... Yes I know it can be downloaded, but I really don't want to download the Master Suite trial version this time while I'm waiting for the DVDs
Cheers,
Michael
Ps. when editing with a file from an external RAID volume, connected via Silicon Image Sil 3132 SATALink Controller, the "Not Responding" message takes more than 13 seconds to get back to normal.

Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky after resintall of operating system and CS5

PROBLEM: Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky
This had NOT been an issue prior to reinstalling the operating system and all software. I have read numerous articles on the forums and have tried everything I can find...with no results.
STEPS TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM:
I have scoured the articles here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=choppy%20video&cat=support&pr oduct=premierepro and others at Cretive Cow
I have installed all updates for CS5 Master Collection, immediately following a fresh install of the operating system and SC5 Master Collection.
I have ensured that sequence settings match resolution and frame rates of footage - the problem persists.
I have tested by importing both standard def AVI files created from tape and high def SONY MP4 files - the problem persists.
I have ensured the latest Video drivers are installed (clean installation selected, so that the Windows default would be removed) - the problem persists.
I have tried the 3D settings in NVIDIA control panel | Program Settings tab... selected Adobe Premiere Pro from the drop down menu | and chaged 'Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration from the value of 'Multiple Display performance' to the value of 'single display performance'; although, I ran two monitors before using this latest NVIDIA video driver and I didn't experience this jerky footage issue - the problem persisted after affecting that change; so, I switched it back.
Since I have 96 GB of RAM, I don't use a pagefile. A zero MB page file is the same setting I had prior to rebuilding the C: Regardless of whether I have a pagefile or not, the problem persists.
I have tried creating a fresh user profile, where the user profile is created on the C: drive by default; and, where I left it there on C: to test for the jerky playback in a new PrPR project - the problem persists.
Regarding the C: (system drive) and why I reinstalled everything, it had become unstable and was locking up. I ran DISK ERROR CHECKING with the FIX parameter and the system was still locking up on me. Keep in mind that the System drive is a solid state drive. Anyhow, I had no choice but to dive in and reinstall everything. I wiped the system partition of the SSD using quick format and started installing the operating system. Now, I've read the CLAIM that this cuases performance issues; but, the only place I see issues is in the video monitor playback in PrPr. Everything else - Office applications...printing...browsing the Internet...works just fine, everything is responsive, whereas, I couldn't do ANYTHING with it before.

I'VE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM!
PREFACE:
OK, I am hoping that through this week-long Operating-System-and-Software-reinatalltion excerise of mine, I have revealed something that everyone -- whom have been cursing Adobe over -- can apply to their systems to resolve this jerky video problem within PremierePro CS5 (and quite possibly other versions, too).
If you've read my post above, you've seen all the steps I've taken to resolve the problem. I've read many posts, some of which have mentioned hardware upgrade / opitmization steps that one may take to enhance performance, and hopefully resolve the problem. I've read where people have taken these steps and have still experienced the problem...and then they curse Adobe. Fer-shame, fer-shame, fer-shame! (nod to Gomer Pyle).
In my case, I knew it wasn't an Adobe issue, as it had worked flawlessly before; and, it wouldn't require a hardware upgrade or reconfigureation, as my system is completely maxed out with two processors, a system drive and a hardware RAID5 array, a CUDA-suported nVIDIA 4800 FX card, and 96 GB of RAM. bla bla bla, puke...whatever. Bottom line is this:
It's not a software issue. It's not and Adobe issue; and Gawd no! It's NOT a PC vs. Mac issue! HA HA. The software had worked swimmingly well prior to the reinstallation / 'lobotomy' I perfomed on the system drive.
SOLUTION FOR ME:
Download and install the updated drivers for the motherboard. Mine is an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC. Intel has an INTEL DRIVER UPDATE UTILITY which automatically scaned my Intel system and identified drivers which needed updating. A very handy, time-saving tool!!! Here's the URL: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu
The scan revealed two Intel drivers needing an update:
Intel Chipset
Wired Networking
and one non-intel driver:
Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-fi
I downloaded and installed these three drivers, rebooted, and tested PremierePro, and was extatic to find this resolved the problem.
If you have a motherboard from another manufacturer, then you may want to navigate over to their wibsite to locate chipset and other updated drivers for your motherboard.
ROOT CAUSE:
While Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate was able to install certain default drivers during the Operating System installation (keeping in mind that this was done on an Intel Solid State Drive that I formatted using Quick Format) these default chipset drivers apparently weren't current and were ultimately the root cuase of the jerky video playback within PremierePro CS5.

Premiere CS5 (win7 x64) won't recognize my Mini-DV camcorder.

I have Premiere Pro CS5 installed on a Windows 7 64-bit system.
When I try to Capture, I keep getting the error message: "Can't Activate Recorder. Try Resetting Camera."
the whole set-up worked fine on my XP system with Premiere Pro 1.5.
Extra info:
The Mini-DV camcorder is a Panasonic NV-DS33 (but personally I think it has nothing to do with my camera because I have seen so many threads online regarding this issue and no-one has any decent answer!)
the firewire cable is fine because it works on my old XP computer.
in premiere, if I change the camera to an HDV, then suddenly I can CONTROL the camera, but I can't capture)
Windows 7 (x64 bit) recognizes the Camcorder in the Device Manager (and says it is working properly).
I have tried several other DV capturing softwares (Stoik, Scenalyzer, WinDv). I have even tried my old Premiere Pro 1.5 on my 64-bit system.. and NONE OF IT WILL CAPTURE MY CAMCORDER!
This is very frustrating. I need my new win7 (x64) Premiere CS5 to capture successfully. I have spent a LOT of money on this new system. What on earth is the problem?
(i saw one thread on a similar issue regarding a 32-bit installation of Win 7, and it is marked as ANSWERED! but in my opinion, (from the amount of forums on many other sites) this issue is definitely not fixed.
is there any update to Premiere CS5? or a workaround? or anything else I should know?
PS: it is not an option for me to keep using my old computer to Capture video and then transfer it to my new system. i am passing my old system on to another person.
many thanks

I agree that the "Legacy" FW driver solution should be a stickie, or FAQ. Since Win7-64 was released, it has caused no end to the grief. Maybe Jeff, or Todd will have a better solution to getting the word out.
It was Harm Millaard, who brought that to MY attention, and he's posted it to many, many threads. In nearly every case, it's solved the issue.
Good luck, and thanks for reporting Colin's success,
Hunt
PS - per your suggestion, I just published this "fix" in the Tips & Tricks sub-forum for PrElements.

Can I run Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on MacbookPro with Lion??

For the love of GOD!! Can someone please explain to me why I cannot effectively use Adobe Premiere CS5.5 on my MacBook Pro (Lion OS)??? I've tried getting all updates from both Adobe and Apple, still no luck. Playback is horribly choppy, resolution is diminished and the program appears to be useless...no one at Apple seems to know anything about Adobe. Sorry if this quesiton has already been proposed, but is their a basic overall solution to get Premiere to run on lion???

CS5x will not use Cuda with any ATI graphics adapter
Go to http://forums.adobe.com/thread/773101 and click on the link to the current list to see the (two?) ATI cards that work with CS6 for hardware Cuda
For the OP... I am Windows... is a "Macbook" a notebook/laptop computer?
If yes, read http://forums.adobe.com/message/4578948 for ideas on the "power" needed for laptop editing

Premiere CS5 choppy every 12. second
