Premiere Elements stops playing timeline randomly

Hi,
since some days, Premiere Elements 10 stops randomly the replay of the timeline. Sometimes after 1 second, sometimes 20 seconds. And always on different positions ... between to cuts, at a transition, ... not reproducible.
I'm using PE10 for years with the same machine and the same MOV-Videos from my Canon cameras ... simple cutting, arranging, transitions, nothins spectecular.
My machine is a Window 8 64bit PC, i7 CPU and 8GB RAM with a GeForce 9500GT.
The only thing, I changed was the operating system from Windows 7 to Windows 8 some weeks ago.
Isn't PE10 not compatible with Windows 8? Or what can be the problem behind the random stopping of the replay?
Thanks
Konrad

Thank you Steve, for your fast response.
I don't think, its a mismatch between video and project settings, because:
a) I created new projects, imported the mov-files and where asked to adapt the project settings to match the video (awnsered to do it)
b) I tried many "old" PE10 projects that worked for months ... same result ... stopping replay after some seconds or less.
My camcorders are a Canon EOS 500D and a Canon S95 ... both not connected but imported the plain MOV-files into the PE project.
If I drop the videos into the timeline, there are no redlines above ... only if I apply transitions between to clips there is a small red line as long as the transition.
I also tried to pre-render the workspace by hitting ENTER (a thing I never had to do before) but this also doesn't help.

Premiere Elements 11 Mac Timeline rendering issue

Every time I try to render my video in Premiere Elements 11 on my Mac the program shuts down. Please help,

briank
What are the formats on the Premiere Elements 11 Mac Timeline whose contents you are rendering to get the best possible preview? Do you have this problem with specific media source, and does the problem go away in a new project?
When you drag your file as the first file dragged to the Timeline, do you get an orange line over it or is there no colored line over it then?
If at this point there is an orange line over that content and you Timeline render, is that when you get the crash?
Or, does the crash occurs when you are doing a Timeline render because you have just edited one of the Timeline components? If this is the case,
what effects did you apply to the source and what edits did you perform on it?
If you go to the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder in the Adobe Folder, how many preview files are piled up there?
Is your computer connected to the Internet? And, are you getting messages about rendering activation needed at the Timeline level?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

I'm using Win 7 Ultimate 64bit. The problem occurs at premiere elements 9 and Trial 10 (downloaded version).Changing compatibility to Vista or XP doesn't help too.
What can I do else?

Hi Mylenium,
stopping virus scanner and firewall before installing doesn't help. And I can't find a Windoes Installer package for Win 7 (Ultimate 64-bit), the last one I'm able to get is 4.5 and this can't be installed on Win 7 (the actual Version is V 5.0.7601.17514 ).
I also tried "unregister/regserver" for msiexec and "sfc/scannow", both as administrator, but no results.

I have an ipod touch 1st gen 32 GB. It stops playing music randomly. The battery has been replaced and I've tried restoring iOS 3.1.3 as a clean install but the problem persists. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

The battery died so I had it replaced. Now it stops playing music (It was doing this before with the old battery when plugged into power cable)... it won't even make it through a whole track. I have tried turning off and on, turned off autolock and restored several times to 3.1.3 with no apps, just music but the problem persists.
Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you for the speedy reply! I suspected it to be a hardware fault but found a lot of people online had experienced the same problem. What should I do? Obviously it is well out of warranty and the battery is literally brand new. Seems a sad waste if it cannot be repaired. I've yet to find a definitive answer or what to do, be it contact Apple etc....
Again, many thanks for taking the time to help. :-)

2G iPod Nano Stops Playing at Random

My wife's 2nd Gen nano (4 GB pink in case it matters) stops playing after a few songs. The number of songs is not consistent. And it doesn't matter how the songs are selected (playlist, genre, artist, etc).
I've done the five R's already and that hasn't helped.
What other information can I give you?

This may seem like a simple question but: Is it locked?
Related to that: Is the hold button fully over to the locked position and the padlock symbol available on screen?

Premiere Elements 7: losing preferences randomly

Once in a while (every ten times starting PrEl I guess) Premiere is losing my preferences, window settings etc. ("do not show again" messages appear, preference options are set to default ...).
It happened when PrEl crashes, but only sometimes. Now it happened when I normally closed PrEl yesterday and opened it today.
It annoys me. I now did a backup of the user folder (c:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Premiere Elements\7.0), to restore it more faster. But what can be the reasons? (Couldn't find anything in the forum except for network drive/redirections problems: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2728602#2728602).

8GB free disk space is wholly inadequate (you do mean disk space and not RAM?). You need a minimum of 30GB defragmented space to reliably create a PRE output. If your 8GB is 1/3rd of total space then your total hard-disk is only 24GB which suggests a pretty old PC. I think you must provide much more information about your PC and the video clips (see the last bullet following):
Some basics:
Install all Windows updates
Install latest version of QuickTime (v7.6.7 at time of writing)
Install most recent graphics and sound drivers from the manufacturers web sites
Run Disk Cleanup
Run Defragmenter (it will not have a noticeable effect on drive life).

Premiere stopped playing timeline and clips

Hi all, been working on a Premiere Pro CC 2014 project over the weekend. Worked fine yesterday...today, the timeline won't play, nor will clips in the source window, video or audio. I've troubleshooted the drives, rebuilt directories; repaired permissions; checked audio hardware, etc., all to no avail. The media shows up in both windows as online, I can see the previews fine, but playhead will not move when I hit the space bar or press the play button. I can scrub through the timeline. There are no ins or outs or markers in the timeline sequence. Has anyone had this issue recently on the current version of Premiere CC 2014? I'm on a Macbook Pro 13", Mavericks 10.9.4. This installation has worked flawlessly since I switched to Premiere in January, until today. Because, of course, deadline. :-(

Yikes. After hours of troubleshooting, I tore apart the rig, started building putting it back together, and discovered my audio interface (MOTU MicroBook II) was not getting enough juice from a hub. I gave it its own port, and now I'm back up and running.

Premiere Pro: Not Playing Timeline, Not Rendering Full Sequence, Stalling on One Frame

2013 iMac // 10.9.3 // Premiere Pro CC 2014 (latest update)
I have been editing a project for a few days, and it just started giving me issues on my last run through it before exporting.
I have dealt with many problems with PP before, but I honestly don't even know what's going wrong here. I cannot pinpoint the issue. It seems to be a number of things. I started by updating PP and CUDA. Nothing. So I continued.
1) I was having problems rendering, so I figured I'd delete the preview files and start from scratch. When rendering the entire project, it would get to about 60%, then stop and hang there. After five minutes of watching it, I would quit PP. Even though it would look like it had quit, it would still be running in Activity Monitor and the little light underneath it in the dock would be on, so I have to force quit.
2) It was odd because the spot where it stops rendering is the sport where, if I scroll through the timeline, the Program window will freeze on one frame. Then it doesn't matter how much I move the playhead, it won't show any other frames. Nor will the sequence play at all after this. So I'd quit again.
3) I went back to another project and rendered everything in it - fine and dandy.
Why is this giving me such a problem? If anyone needs anything else from me to properly diagnose this, please just say so! Thanks for the help.

Sorry 'bout the time lag. Our new firm just started its first large project, and as the tech geek for the photo-part of it, been kinda busy.
So there's clearly a problem with the project file having gotten corrupted, but ... when it hits the footage it choked on before, it choked again. There's some kind of glitch here that has to to with PrPro interacting with those files. I'm wondering if a file header somewhere has a digit that can confuse PrPro or something? I do recall a couple issues of a similar nature that eventually involved people sending a bit of the nasty footage to an Adobe staffer, who poked through behind the scenes and found something that was not exactly what it might best have been in a header or something. Altered that, PrPro & footage liked each other again, everybody else happy. But that's the sort of ish that one needs experience at ... and I've got none.
There's been times also where people have split a project up ... right on the edge of the Problem. Three parts to their project, in separate project files. First "good" part, and rendered it out as a separate project. Next project, the "troubled" footage that worked by itself, as again its own project, and rendered out. Then the final & also untroubled part, again rendered out. I've heard of both taking those into QuicktimePro (if appropriate codec) and uniting in one continuous piece, I've also heard of people who took three PrPro projects that had been rendered out separately (if I recall one was probably about six parts, a long & complex bugger) and brought those rendered-out parts back in to make a final project with everything in it. In fact, there are a number of people who split their larger projects into chunks, that are finished separately, then combined in a final PrPro project for final polishing as their normal work habit.
Best wishes ...

Premiere elements cannot play my avi file

I have an avi file, size 13.9 MB, which plays perfectly, when I click on it with pathfinder.
If I import it into PE, it asks me, "Fix quality problems in clips. Yes or No".
No matter what I do, there is no synchro between picture and sound, when I play it.
Anybody knows what I can do??

Adobe Premiere Elements 10: Buggy timeline?

So, after spending 1-2 months on trying to get PRE8 to work with FRAPS and setting it up, I have met nothing but trouble.
So I thought that it would be a good time to update myself, maybe. I decided to try a newer version of the program and
downloaded a trial for PRE10. I think it's great. My renders are improving in speed and quality and the playback is alot
better. BUT. The timeline is really buggy, and it is really, really, really annoying me. It takes more than double the time
to edit my footage and it just looks disorienting.
How do I fix this?

PRE uses codecs installed with QuickTime to render it's own displays. I believe it is to do with H.264 clips and so may be relevant to FRAPS clips which I think are highly compressed. It is this high compression and no direct editing of the FRAPS formats that makes it ill suited to PRE.
So yes, I say install the latest version. And as for those other drivers - did you check at the manufacturer's download sites? You cannot rely on Windows Updates to keep your drivers current. They are usually many months, sometimes years, out of date and worse, the occasional driver update from the Windows Update site can install older or incompatible drivers.
So go to the relevant site (AMD, nvidia, or Intel) and check - it only takes a moment.

My nano stops playing mp3s randomly.

It pauses itself somewhere between 3 and 30 minutes of playback (i'm estimating). It plays uninterrupted when the speaker is used. This led me to think its a headphone jack problem. But it also plays uninterrupted when the radio is used with headphones. i've tried reseting, reinstalling and restoring. Intried cleaning the headphone jack with a toothpick and a small bit of tissue. Is this a headphone jack problem, or logic board issue, or what? thanks in advance!

Do these same MP3 tracks play okay in iTunes? Are these multiple MP3 tracks over the 30 minutes or is it usually one giant MP3 track?
Try running these tracks through MP3 Validator to make sure they are not corrupted in some way.

Premiere Elements 10 sluggish Timeline...why?

I just built a new computer with:
-Windows 7 Professional
-Intel Core i7-3770
8GB DDR3 RAM
SanDisk 128 SSD
WD Blue 1TB 7200RPM HDD
GTX 650 1GB (I know not necessary since PreE doesn't use it for rendering)
Specifically, when I am using the timeline, zooming in and out, moving it to the left and right, it becomes very sluggish. Also, when I move the time line cursor it lags behind significantly. My Project setting is on DV - Standard 48kHz. My video is in AVI format approxamatly an hour long. This is very surprising since before I was editing on my 2009 Macbook Pro 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8GB, 500HDD. On my Macbook I was editing Raw DV footage with Hard Disk, Flash Memory Camcorders - Standard 48kHz project setting. I had no lag what so ever in respect to what I experienced on my PC build. What could be the matter with it? During editing, I have the CPU meter and GPU meter(I know PreE doesn't use GPU for rendering) on as well but that's about it. I upgraded my editing computer to experience faster rendering and export times not to have to trade off for a sluggish timeline experience! Help!!!

Recent generations of SSD's are quite good, and their capacities have gone up, plus the price has gone down. Their reliability for long-term writing has also improved greatly. Having one as the system/boot disc is a good move, and I recommend having all programs, the OS and probably the Page File (Windows Virtual Memory) on one.
I use HDD's for both my Project and Scratch disks, and then another for my media, for a 3x arrangement, i.e. C:\SSD, D:\SATA III HDD, E:\SATA III HDD.
Spreading the I/O load will usually greatly improve overall performance, and that appears to be what you have done already. The performance gain is biggest, if one goes from just one disc, to two, with a much smaller impact, if they add 3, or more. Personally, I like the 3x (or more) arrangement, but the Bang For The Buck is less, than just adding a second physical HDD. At a point, there are diminishing returns, and when one gets to a bunch of multiple drives, even in RAID, the user does not see THAT much of an improvement, though they do show up in benchmarks.
Unless you have partitioned any of your drives, I do not think that your C:\SSD and D:\SATA (II, or III) HDD's will be the bottleneck. You don't have any partitons, do you?
For performance of the GUI, I find that the video driver (so long as one has at least 1GB VRAM) is the first bottleneck. Next can be installed RAM, but with a 64-bit OS and at least 8GB RAM, most RAM bottlenecks will not show up, until one goes to Share/Publish the Timeline. Then, more RAM can improve things, but that is not seen in the GUI performance.
You have already ruled out the video driver (the main cause for GUI display issues), and have a good I/O sub-system, so I am at a loss to explain what you are seeing. Maybe some real hardware gurus will see a bottleneck, and can advise you on how to handle things.
Good luck,
Hunt

When my mac book pro is connected to my LED cinema display, itunes start and stop playing music randomly... Even when i stop it, it start again, and again, and again...

This problem appear recently, at the same time as i've done ios6 update and everything which appear at the same time with all apple software.
i've tried to reinstall 10.7.5 with reinstallation of itunes, but always the same problem...
So, when using LED cinema Display, i keep itunes sound volume at zero, to avoid this problem.
Somebody with the same problem and a solution ???

It is better to take it back to the genius bar.
Your MBP is under warranty and let them fix it for you.
Nobody here can help you with hardware problems.
Best.

Itunes randomly stop playing and restarts playing like a pause when playing music.

My itunes the latest version 11.1.3 stop playing music randomly and start playing it again. It almost like its buffering itself.
My hard drive is not full.
Already tried to repair disk etc.
I do not know what to do it all start its skipping when I upgraded to OSX Mavericks.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?

Hi, have you found something work for you ?
Happens to me as well but not started in mavericks all started with Mountain Lion , a few weeks before he left mavericks , I thought the problme would be solved by updating , but he did not, it's very frustrating strange thing is that in my case not only iTunes is , if any player, have proven Vox and another which I forget the name .
I also feel the same when you play a song in quick look ( Finder) .
I am desperate this problem is with me for the last month and a half went to a apple store and tell me that my machine has nothing that can not help me, and tried everything , reset my machine with a clean install , restart PRAM , repair permissions hise disk hardware test , and nothing has changed.
When iTunes pause my machine freezes a moment and returns to normal when continuous playback , stops about 1s though sometimes hard to 5s .
We appreciate if you find solution , because I am going crazy . Since neither in apple have been able to help me .
My machine is a Macbook Pro late 2012. Mavericks , iTunes 11.1.3 did not correct my mistakes. Do not know what else to try .

IPod randomly stops playing?

Sometimes, if I am listening to music while using Safari for example, the iPod will stop playing at random and sometimes stops playing and brings me to the menu screen at random.

I have this issue with mobile Safari too. It tends to happen to me while playing a large track, for example a 4 or 5 hour MP3 of a speech, rather than typical ~4 minute songs.
A workaround for me is to pause my Safari activities every 10 minutes or so to bring up the "now playing" iPod screen for about 20 seconds, then back to Safari for another 10 minutes. This method is annoying but ensures uninterrupted iPod playback while multitasking.
