Premiere Pro 2014 playback delay/lag

I have the latest version of Premiere, running on a RAID with about 2.5 TB worth of space. Mac OS 10.9. 32GB of RAM.
Seemingly overnight, I have a small hiccup when telling things to play or rewind in the Timeline window. I'll hit spacebar, L or J and it will hold for about a second and then pick up a second forward in the timeline. Same with pausing. It will hold for a second before finally pausing playback. The actual playback of the videos is clean, there's no lag or glitchingas the playhead moves through the middle of a clip. It's only when STARTING or STOPPING.
I've emptied my cache several times, checked my RAM, restarted the computer. Tried in multiple projects with everything from ARRI ProRes to 5D H.264s.
I thought for a second it was my wireless keyboard but I've been using it for a couple weeks now and haven't experienced issues in other programs. And the issue still occurs when I hit the play button in the Source of Program panels.
What could the problem be? Thanks for any and all help.

I checked to see if this slow start happened in older versions of Premiere Pro CC. It doesn't, only the 2014 release.

  • Mac book pro (late 2013) has a lag when sculpting and rotating models in Zbrush only when using my Wacom-capture tablet (if I use a mouse or trackpad its fine no lag). Also Premiere Pro CS5, playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion.

       Also Premiere Pro CS5 playback is almost like watching footage in slow motion, Premiere Pro is installed on the main drive but the footage is on an external drive connected with USB 2.
      I'm wondering if it is just a problem with the Mac USB drivers maybe not supporting USB 2 ? (Because I have also installed Window 7 on this same MacBookPro and tested the same software "Zbrush and Premiere Pro" And they both work perfectly on the Bootcamp Windows 7 install, and so its using the same hardware so it has to be the drivers right ?)
    Any help would be great, Thanks

  • Failure to import fcp7 project's xml into Premiere Pro 2014.  Details below.  Why is it crashing? Any thoughts?

    Here are the details of my problem:
    Premiere Pro 2014 (up to date)
    Mac book Pro OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
    Source footage includes a variation of codecs as follows: H.264 in a .mov container, 1920 x 1080 Apple Pro Res 422, Linear PCM
    There are no error messages, the import into Premiere Pro 2014 begins normally but the "progress bar" never starts and then after about 10 seconds a blank white box appears followed by the pinwheel.
    When the problem occurred I was trying to import a fcp7 project's xml file into Premiere Pro.
    I emailed Adobe Support Tech the fcp7 xml file and it crashed his computer, however, I was able to successfully import one clip from fcp7  (an Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, duration 1 minute) from the fcp 7 project into Premiere Pro, but not the whole project or the bare essentials (the cut itself).
    I am not running other software
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?  Not that I know of...
    Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU). ??????
    I am using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration
    The problem only happen when I try to import the FCP7 xml project file into Premiere Pro

    Hi Lynn,
    Have you inspected the XML file for any anomalies? That might be a way to see if any third party effects were used.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Premiere Pro 2014 is crashing and freezing and I have to use force quit to get it to shut down.

    Premiere Pro 2014 is crashing every day. i am running Premiere Pro 2014 on a 2013 imac with 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16  GB RAM. Playback on premiere continually freezes and the program crashes. Or the playback will start to freeze and then I save and close the project file/program, but the program will not close and I have to force quit. This is extremely frustrating. Premiere Pro CC was super stable and I rarely if ever had a problem. I have changed my permissions to give myself read/write. I have created a new project file in 2014 and then imported all my sequences from my updated project file but none of these strategies have worked. I am considering creating a new project file and going back to working solely in CC because I am on a deadline and troubleshooting this issue is taking up so much time.

    I have had to force quit PP CC four times today. The fourth was when it crashed while trying to reopen it. I have had exactly the same problems as described above. I have no solutions to offer. I will go through a week of constant Premiere Pro bugs and poor performance then experience a period that seems too good to be true only to end up having a day like today. I can't believe that they call this a professional editing suite. It just wastes so much of my time pissing around trying to fix things and managing all the extra render and preview files it makes each time I have to save a new copy of a project which usually results in renaming it. It gets confusing after a while. Really not happy with this and have begun to learn Avid so as soon as this project is done, PP will be history.

  • Premiere Pro 2014.2 crashes as soon as I try to do anything. Any ideas?

    Hi there,
    My employer just leased a new system for me. Up until last week I had PP 2014 installed and everything ran without issues. Since the new system and installing the latest version of Premiere Pro 2014.2 I can no longer work on anything.
    The software will stay open if I start it up and don't do anything. I can even open a project and it will still work. The problem occurs when I try to do something i.e. import a file, open a sequence, rename a title, etc.
    Can someone help? If so, please let me know if you need more info from me (see system info below). Thanks.

    I just something and it seems to be working so far. I found this on a few sites. Will this affect what I can do with the latest version of Premiere? Should I leave it this way? Thanks in advance.
    In the Video Rendering And Playback section, select the appropriate renderer: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration or Mercury Playback Engine Software Only.

    After I purchased the creative cloud, I receive an error message when trying to use premier pro cc 2014.  It states "Adobe Premiere Pro 2014.2 has stopped working.  A problem has caused it to stop working.  Windows will close the program and notify you of a solution."  When I used the trial I never received this message.  Now after purchasing it I receive this error each time I open PP and am unable to use. it.  Any ideas or support to fix this issue?

    What does the detailed crash report say?
    And have you updated your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website? (most crashes on launch are due to bugs in out of date video card drivers)

  • My Program and Source Monitor Stopped Working: Premiere Pro 2014

    Heres how it all started.
    I got an error which said I didn't have the correct video modules, then came the ugly face of BSOD. I restarted, tried again, same result. I did a system restore with Windows, reinstalled Windows 8.1, reinstalled all of my plugins and Adobe CC programs, and when I opened my project was completely scrambled. Uninstalled all Adobe software, ran CC Cleaner, reinstalled. This got the audio in my videos to work but now there's only a white screen on my my Source and Program monitor when I try to play my timeline. I did another system restore on Windows, went to my laptop manufacturers website and updated my bios, graphics driver, and processor. Also reinstalled windows updates, and my Adobe software, I've tried CC Cleaner before each install, tried going back to the previous version of Premiere and still nothing in my source or Program monitors.

    Things I've tried from other threads:
    -I read that there might be a problem with the .MTS files so I've also tried starting a new project with .MOV files and h.264 and still nothing.
    -I tried going into the project settings and choose "render with software", still nothing.
    -I tried emptying media cache files under C://users/my user/app data/roaming/Adobe/common.....you guessed it, NOTHING.
    -I tried using my daughters "Frozen" magic wand we bought her for Christmas to fix the problem with icy magic like Elsa did in the movie.......surprisingly, still nothing.
    Any other ideas out there?

    Hi,
    Do you have Dual Graphics Adapters? You can check that under Device Manager > Display Adapters.
    If yes, Disable Intel Graphics and see if it helps.
    Have you tried to Trash the Preferences?
    Rename the 8.0 folder to trash the preferences: <drive>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro\

  • Premiere pro 2014 cross fades don't get saved or load as saved audio drops???

    For no apparent reason premiere pro 2014 will not save cross fades...  it saves them but wont load them
    Audio is dropping out ....
    I was given a project to make some changes to and every time I open it I need to recreate the cross fades and then export it and then check it and then recreate the cross fades that didn't export and then hope for the best!!
    this is so unstable and there seems to be no apparent reason
    any help would be magnificent

    Please check this blog post. Updating from Time Machine can cause this issue: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later).

  • What is the best PC laptop to use with Premiere Pro 2014?

    I'm excited that I get to buy a NEW LAPTOP!!!
    I'm editing a documentary with tons of footage.  I'll use external SSD drive for files.
    What is the best PC laptop to get for editing movies on Premiere Pro 2014?
    I can spend up to $1500
    Thanks SO MUCH for your help!!!!

    premiere will run fine with the 7200rpm hdd. while editing, if your hdd/ssd isn't fast enough it will stutter and skip as it cant feed the data fast enough to premiere. thats with high bitrate footage, if you are using low bitrate footage the 7200rpm might work ok to hold your footage too. odds are that external samsung ssd will be fast enough to hold the media, project cache and any preview files. you shouldn't need another external hdd for export/render.
    the ssd for internal will let windows boot faster and let programs open and close faster. once windows is loaded and programs are opened, they load into ram. there is little to be gained after that for ssd/hdd speeds while using most programs.

  • "Adobe Premiere Pro 2014.1 has stopped working" Open Project Error

    Hey, everyone.
    I recently tried to re-open a project file that I created earlier today. As soon as it loads, the familiar "Adobe Premiere Pro 2014.1 has stopped working" window comes up.
    I created a new project file and it seemed to work fine. When I first started this project, I was having trouble using a ".m2ts" AVCHD movie file (PPro would crash in a similar manner), so I used Media Encoder to change it to a ".mov" Quicktime file. Seemed to work fine after I did that. This new issue only arose once I tried to re-open the project file after shutting down the computer.
    Got any suggestions?
    -Ross

    Correction - I converted the ".m2ts" file to an ".mp4" file, not an ".mov" file.

  • Imported dvd into premiere pro 2014 as a linked file with audio and video but audio from previous editing file is playing with video

    I am editing in premiere pro 2014 on a windows 8.1 system with 12 mega byes of ram.  I imported a dvd into premiere from a .f4v that was
    burned using freemakevideo converter.
    I imported the DVD into premiere and the audio that is playing is from an previous project I edited with the program, as oppose
    to, the audio that is linked with the video imported.
    Do you know why this is?  I cleaned my media cache and I rebooted my machine.  
    Please help

    Without knowing the specs of your videos it is hard to say. I'm also running a Mac and am having no such issues.
    My first thought is that you have something from a 3rd party installed that is causing conflicts. If all else fails try transcoding your mp4 files to a frame based codec using the Adobe Media Encoder. Pick one of the Apple production codecs or Jpeg compressed QuickTime.
    Are you running a ram preview? Did you render your Premiere timeline? Are you new to AE?

  • Premiere Pro 2014 upgrade question

    Heya.
    So, a while back I upgraded Adobe Premiere Pro to Adobe Premiere Pro 2014. But when I did, instead of just upgraded I was given 2014 as a separate program and I still had the original. It didn't seem to affect anything, so I paid it no mind and just proceeded with 2014. Lately though, all my adobe programs are working for only 15~20 minutes before slowing down to a snails pace and then freezing all together. At first I thought it was my lack of free disc space, so I deleted enough junk to put me at 83GB. But the programs are still sluggish after only a little bit of use. So my question is: What will happen if I delete the original Adobe Premiere Pro (in order to make more space)? Will I still have 2014, or can it not exist on my computer without the original?

    Separate installs, separate functionality. Uninstalling older versions will drag down shared components, though, and necessitate a reinstall of the other product. Won't fix anything for you, though, I can tell you that. Your system is most likely simply showing signs of wear like fragmented disks or temp folders filling up just as any update to Windows or a driver could interfere operations. Do some housekeeping and check your settings.

  • Premiere Pro 2014 MultiCam forgets cut points when rendering (Adobe please help!!)

    I have started using multi-cam and notice that almost always when using multi-cam the rendered results are incorrect - with many camera selections forgotten or flipped to exact opposite!
    Very frustrating - especially since you discover after render!!
    Many times when I select Camera A at some point and then later go to beginning of sequence - many of the selections have been reversed with reversal again at clip transitions - resulting in exact opposite of what I selected or random changes. Locking the tracks does not prevent this. It seems to be overriding my choices based on some program logic!!
    This is with latest Premiere Pro 2014.1 {8.1 build)
    Useless feature if you cannot get it to render your selections but rather random selection
    Wish there was a manual! And not just incomplete video tutorials that are teaser for some associate's paid training (of unknown value).
    Or at least quick forum / support response from Adobe representatives so I can be productive with the tooling.
    Another week of no answers and I will have to recreate in FCP X where multi cam seems to work fine.
    Not the best for brand loyalty, eh?
    Please help

    I'm thinking it might be operator error on this one.  Here's a process that works every time.
    1. Create a sequence matching the specs of your footage.
    2. Add your clips.
    3. Sync manually.
    4. Create a second sequence matching the first.
    5. Nest the first sequence into the second.
    6. Right click on that nested sequence and choose Multi-Camera>Enable
    7. Turn on the Multi-camera view in the Program Monitor.
    8. Play the sequence in real time, switch angles using keyboard shortcuts.  If you make a mistake, leave it for later.
    9. When you're done with the first pass in real time, go back to the normal view in the Program Monitor.
    10. Move through the sequence a second time, cut by cut, tweaking as necessary with the Rolling Edit tool (shortcut N).
    On a side note, 2014.2 is actually the current version.  You should update.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Playback Unusable-PLAYBACK ISSUES

    Hello,
    I've just downloaded the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Trial, but whenever I put a clip in the sequence timeline, the playback stops after a second or so. I filmed my screen to show the problem (computer specs at the end of the video).Is it because the sequence settings do not match the clip's properties? I'm also new to Adobe Premiere.
    Here's the video:
