Premiere CS5 Video playback problems

Dear All,
I hope someone can help me out!
I have finally managed to get the 64-bit upgrade sorted out. However, most of the time I try to start my trial version of Premiere, I get an error message saying "CS5 has stopped working". No explanation. Nothing. It just doesn't open.
However, if I persevere long enough, after four or five attempts to start the program, it will inexplicably do so. My problem THEN is that a project I saved in CS4 seems to load OK but then I cannot get the video footage (unrendered) to appear in the preview window. Which makes the whole thing useless really.
If I then click in the preview window, the footage WILL appear but only as a still on whatever frame it happened to be on. Again, making the entire shebang useless.
So, if anyone has any brilliant tips on why these things are happening, do let me know. I feel like shooting someone! LOL
I am quite happy to buy a copy of this thing IF I can be sure it will work. But I fail to see why Adobe are pretending these problems don't exist. No help from the support team via phone at all.
Thanks

Thanks for the welcome. I'm no expert on this subject so I'm not even sure I would know where to check the video-card driver. LOL.
All I can say is that the trial version of Premiere CS4 had no such problems on this laptop. I'm now using Windows Vista, Home Premium, 64 bit. The CS4 trial ran fine on Windows Vista 32-bit (as it was before I upgraded) so I'm unsure why Adobe would have moved the goalposts in that regard?
Thanks for your help.

  • I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12

    I'm having video playback problems in the timeline, Premiere Elements12.The clip keeps stuttering. The whole video is 45 minutes long, is HD and has added music tracks. Any ideas would be appreciated.

    From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
    •You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
    •(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
    •What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.1 update)
    •What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
    •Has this ever worked before?  If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.?  Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?

  • Why am I having imbedded video playback problems in Lion?

    Hello all,
    I'm been having problems viewing web videos on my 2011 MBPro 13'' w/ OS X Lion. Any time of web video I have normal sound by the video frames get all jumpy, almost like its less than 1fps. The only web videos that do not have this problem is when I watch a youtube video on youtube.com. If I watch imbedded youtube videos, I have the same skittish video playback problem.
    I have my adobe flash updated and I used Google Chrome as my web browser.
    Anyone else have a similar problem? Fixes? Thanks!
    -Sean

    Two things to keep in mind
    There is a forum for Lion, another for MBP owners, and this is not.
    And yes you will find lots and lots of threads of same.... no one looks at those that were "Solved"

  • Driver-related video playback problems.

    Hi,
       I've been experiencing less than stellar video playback for a while. My system is P4 1.6A  256MB RAM with msi FX 5700 128 MB running on WIN98 SE .  The thing is that before upgrading my drivers to 50.XX series , I never had video playback problems, totally smooth, then after the 50.XX series, certain video clips froze for a second when opened, then when I installed the 5306 drivers, my system used to freeze for a second before video playback and video seeking stuttered and froze a lot.  Since upgrading to 56.55  and then 56.64 version , the freezeups and stutters are gone but now the quality of the video playback is really crappy and also there is this horizontal border around the video and it looks kinda 'squinched?!?' .  This erratic video behaviour has been going on through out my upgrade from a FX5200 to FX5700 card and with both MSI and nvidia drivers. Presently I'm using nvidia non-branded drivers 56.64.  Also, why do these newer drivers keep dummy-proofing there options pages, you cannot even experiment enough with the settings anymore and I'm afraid Riva tuner or powerstrip might not work with the newer releases.
       I haven't experienced any problems with video games, just video playback, either windowed or full-screen. I would really appreciate any help with this problem, its getting to be like an itch at the back you just can't scratch.
    Thank you

    What power supply u are using?

  • Flash Video Playback problem in CS4/CS5

    I need to put a Flash Video on my website, embedded in one of the existing html pages.
    When my developer puts together a Flash Video in Flash CS4 or CS5 using ActionScript 3, the video does not play - t just keeps buffering (showing a striped appearance on the seek bar) and will not play unless I refresh the browser.
    I've tried copying the code from the html page that came with the set of swf and flv files and that doesn't work either.
    Just inserting the swf file into the web page like we used to do in CS3 and earlier does not wor.
    I noticed that now with ActionScript 3 there is no ACRunActiveContent.js file.
    Videos created using CS3 and ActionScript 2 seem to work just fine on web pages.
    Wonder what i can do to use CS4 and CS5 videos and have them play on html pages?
    Any ideas anyone?

    Just to clarify:
    Creating a Flash Video swf in CS5 (or even CS4) with ActionScript 3 requires the video to be embedded in the web page a bit differently than we were used to with CS3 and AS2.
    While the newer versions of Flash do use a different method (using swfobject) when "Publishing" a Flash .swf, it is NOT required to do so. In fact neither swfobject nor ACRun... are required to display Flash of any version (AS1, 2, or 3) on a Web page. The simple single object method will work just fine:
    <object data="path_to_file/file.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="insert_width_of_movie" height="insert_height_of_movie">
      <param name="movie" value="path_to_file/file.swf">
      <param name="SomeOtherParam" value="ParamValue">
    </object>
    Both ACRun and swfobject are "Flash Detection" methods used to display some alternative content if Flash is not detected... they are NOT needed to simply display the Flash .swf.
    However, you can't use half ACRun code and half swfobject code....it must be either one or the other... and either would display AS3 players just fine.... as would the single object method.
    Best wishes,

  • Iphone 5 video playback problems over quicktime?

    ive recently got a new laptop, pre windows 8, and downloaded quicktime pro in order to play my iphone videos right side up because windows media player will play them upside down alot of the time. something i immeadiately noticed was that all my videos from my iphone 5, when played back via quicktime, have a big judder/skip in them every 2 seconds whereis all my iphone 4 videos playback no problem. the few videos i have that are recorded right side up from my iphone 5, because of orientation of the phone during recording, play perfectly fine on windows media player so this this leads me to believe it is a quicktime issue. i have updated to the latest quicktime just a few days ago with hopes of it being corrected but no such luck. im curious if anyone else is having this same problem or knows a fix? also if anyone knows how to flip videos with quicktime so i can just watch them on windows media would be great also. i found a write up how to do it but everytime i try it, after i save it it just reverts back to its orgional orientation. thanks for any help, Jamie

    Add me to the list of people having this problem.
    I'm running Macbook on 10.5.8. Quicktime is 7.6.9, in case this has any bearing on things.
    OK......I just searched a few places and came up with this:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perian
    It's called Perian, and it's one of a few different options you could use to solve this problem....I just installed it (free), and now the videos play without a hitch. It's a plug-in for Quicktime.  There are others that can supposedly do the same thing--look around and give it a shot.
    (Also, supposedly this Perian is no longer in open development, and may not work with the newest Quicktime update for the newest Macs, but, like I said, there are other options out there that may work for you instead.)
    I have a feeling my problem may have been due to my particular Quicktime/Macbook setup being a bit outdated, but who knows?
    Good luck!

  • Video Playback Problems (iPod Classic 120GB)

    Hi! I recently purchased my new iPod Classic 120GB but I'm encountering problems regarding video playback.
    I downloaded a *music video* from the internet, and the file format is *mpeg video*. I then purchased an iPod Video Converter and thus changed the file to the appropriate one in order to play it in my iPod.
    I played the music video first in my iTunes to check whether the video has any problems, but there was none, and it wasn't corrupted. As for my other videos, I have used the same iPod video converter and they were all fine. I then transferred the music video in my iPod.
    Problem is, the quality was good and everything, but there are some *slight glitches in the music video*. There wasn't anything wrong with the audio, but with *some of the scenes* in the video itself. I then replayed it, then the *glitch transferred to another scene in the video*.
    I then removed the said music video from my iPod, re-converted it, replayed it in my iTunes, then transferred it to my iPod, but the same video still has the same glitch.
    So far, I have transferred 10+ music videos in my iPod and they all worked just fine, but I have 6 other music videos that are encountering the same problem with playback.
    Does the problem lie with my iPod converter, or in my iTunes, or in my iPod itself? I would like to know.
    I would really appreciate some help with this! Thanks!
    For additional information:
    iTunes - latest version 8.1
    iPod - recently bought, Classic 120 GB
    video converter - Allok Video to iPod converter
    video itself - mpeg format, 204 MB
    Message was edited by: megumiii

    unfortunately its hard to tell where the problem lies... it depeneds on what type of glitch you are talking about. i really hope you didnt actually pay for a video converter... try "ipod video 9" which is absolutely free... top quality and VERY VERY easy to use!!! this program has never caused issues for me. if the issue is with your ipod it may be a delay in information transfer from your ipods hardrive. try defragmenting your ipod like you would your computer in the "my computer" window on windows, this does actually help your ipod read the information on its hardrive faster and should slightly--->drastically improve your ipods performance depending on factors such as how fragmented (jumbled) your files are, how many files you have on the ipod, the size of each file etc.
    these are the only things i can think of!!! try both... see how you get on.

  • Video playback problems in iTunes 10.5.2/3

    Hi,
    I'm running iTunes 10.5.3 on my MacBook Pro, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2, 2,66 Ghz, Intel i7, and I have some issues with my video playback.
    None of my movies/videos in iTunes will play. It's actually really annoying. I was having this problem already on iTunes 10.5.2. So today I tried reinstalling iTunes completely, due to the new version that came out, but I still have the problem. Any thoughts on the matter?
    Thanks in advance!

    I can't be the only one with this issue. It affects both my iTunes on my mac mini and my iBook

  • Video playback problems [6500 Slide]

    Video playback at 25, 29.9, 30 fps is jerky, only 12.5, 15 fps videos play correctly... Lowering the bitrate or using a less complex profile/codec doesnt help much. Funny thing is, it can play its own videos which are whooping 640x480 @ 25fps and 2000-3000kbps [for comparison: the videos i encoded were only 320x240, 25fps, 200kbps] without a problem! O.o So, why has it problems playing my less complex to decode videos?
    I tried following ways of encoding in SUPER:
    MPEG4
    h.263
    XviD (h.263/basic)
    320x240
    25, 29.9, 30 fps
    AAC
    2ch
    44.1kHz
    96kbps
    All jerky! :[
    But halving the fps... Viola, it plays fine!
    Is this a known issue?
    Will this be fixed in the next firmware? Hope so! >.
    Cant nokia release some video coding tool with profiles for each phone model, to ensure flawless playback!? -.-
    Regards, KD

    I found the intel driver doesn't like xv output.  In VLC go Settings > Preferences > Video > Output modules and set X11 video output. See if that works.  If it does you can do similar things to totem using something in the gnome-media package (can't remember what exactly of hand...)

  • IPad 5.0.1 update video playback problems

    HI is anyone else having playback problems with videos on IPad 1 after 5.0.1 update???
    As in the playback not atcually working at all???

    See if any of the following Videos 'fixes' work.
    Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Video playback problems in iMovie08

    I have been using iMovie08 for a while and have suddenly started having performance problems. When playing back an edited video CPU utilisation is maxing out and the video playback is skipping frames. This same video has not been a problem previously. I have noticed that there are quite a few similar issues being reported following the latest Quicktime update, I'm not sure if this is related but it is a coincidence.
    The video plays back ok with music but as soon as a title displays the CPU goes from 70% to 90%+ and the video jumps from frame to frame rather than playing smoothly. Is anyone else having similar problems. I know iMovie08 is a pretty processor and memory intensive app but basically my experience suggests that a G5 iMac with 2.5GB memory isn't big enough to run iMovie08 when nothing else is running.

    I can't be the only one with this issue. It affects both my iTunes on my mac mini and my iBook

  • Please Help - Video Playback Problems

    I have followed all the instructions provided by iTunes support in an attempt to fix problems with video playback. They did not help. I downloaded 4 video files that would have smooth audio sound but skip and freeze continually throughout the entire video.
    This problem 1st occurred right after I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and then a purchased video. One point of interest is that all of my old video files from earlier versions of iTunes still work fine as they always did.
    Could anyone please help me to resolve this issue?

    I have had the same problem. I even bought a new 256mn video card and it did nothing. I have done everything i-tunes website suggest and nothing has helped.

  • Video playback problems for Mac/iTunes

    When iTunes is in video playback mode things go haywire. The video stops (the audio keeps playing ok) then skips forward. Sometimes it will play ok for a few minutes but always starts up again. I have done the profrences thing. No luck. Anybody found a work-around to this problem while Apple gets it's groove back re: iTunes?

    I have the EXACT same problem!! I have gone through the same steps as you and more. I have reinstalled iTunes and Quicktime, emailed support, and they responded as follows: " Dear John, I understand that you're unable to hear any audio when playing this video, purchased from the iTunes Store. I'd be happy to help you with this. Fortunately, this issue can usually be corrected by simply reinstalling QuickTime." I really think it sa something to do with iTunes 7. I didn't have this problem with earlier versions. Something to do with the audio/video drivers?

  • Premiere CS5 Video plays slowly compared to audio

    Hi
    Been having a bit of a hard time with PPro CS5 at the mo, what with it continually stopping (which may have been resolved by using the log in as root user method, although it still stops occasionally), I now have the issue of the video not keeping up with the audio!! DOH!!!
    As I have a Blackmagic decklink Extreme card, I have seen threads that have suggested checking the "Turn off dropped frame Waring" to allow continous video playback, but when I check this the video plays slowly!!???
    If anyone has some usefully answers I would be extremely grateful as I now have very little hair left!
    Thanks in advance.
