Premiere Pro Acting Very Strangely

I don't even begin to know how to search the interwebs for the issues I'm having, so I thought I'd post here and see if anyone else is having issues.
I run PP CS6.0.1 via Creative Cloud on a macpro with an NVIDIA Quadro4000 card.  Firstly, when I installed the application via Creative Cloud's installer, the 'coreaudiod' bug showed up.  Possibly a coincidence, but a strange one at that.  Besides the stability issues and the occasional performance bugs, PP has now started doing something even stranger.  Now when I launch the app, the startup screen (the dialogue box that displays after the splash screen) now shows up halfway off screen to the right of my monitor.  Then if I actually open a project, it ALSO loads up halfway off screen.  I can easily get everything back on full screen, but it's still a completely obnoxious problem.
Then, if I leave a render going or simply leave the app up and running over night, I'll come back into work the next morning and suddenly my desktop backgrounds have been completely removed and replaced by a generic gray system background.
I'm at a loss. Has anyone experienced ANY of these things?

At least once a day, restart your computer.

  • Early 2008 15" Macbook Pro acting very strange

    So long story short, I bought a used early 2008 15" Macbook Pro and I keep having issues with it. I replaced the hard drive, replaced the thermal paste (after removing the old paste of course), cleaned her inside and out, updated software, firmware, & reset the pram/smc. None have totally solved the issues. I constantly have files from the hard drive disappear, then reappear whenever they want. The backlighting on the keyboard doesn't want to work if I am doing multiple things like, iTunes, TuneUp, & surfing the net, it just suddenly stops and if I try to activate by using the F6  on the keyboard I get a symbol of a circle with a line through it. The only way to get the keyboard to light up again is to reboot it. The hard drive I replaced with the old one is 500 gigs at 7200, 32mb cache. She also warms up rather quickly even though I used the artic silver thermal paste. I can never seem to get her temp below 45-55 Celsius. I even took apart the tiny internal fans and cleaned them thoroughly. I build desktop systems as well as repair laptops so I do know more than the average user but I am at a total loss here on what else could be the cause of all this strange behavior. I don't know what, if anything the previous owner did with it, which makes it even harder to figure out. Could this be a logic board or power supply issue? There are no other problems with power other then needing to replace the battery, but since it is plugged in everytime I use it, I really don't think this is the cause. Any suggestions are welcomed :-)

  • Importing and exporting from cc premiere pro is very slow

    importing and exporting from cc premiere pro is very slow, the system has i7 processor and memory is 64 gb and has internal raid storage. what could be the issue.

    If you would like to test the tuning and setup of your Premiere installation go to our Premiere Pro BenchMark PPBM, the Instructions page has the download file.  This single download can test Premiere 6, 7 or 8 with the identical benchmark.  We maybe able to tell you why you are having problems.

  • IPad acting very strange and gets hot.

    My iPad mini is acting very strange, Siri starts as normal, but repeats "Siri not available" about 25 times before working. The iPad is slow and gets very hot when on. When you type it takes a minute for the iPad to catch up even if you type slow. What could be wrong?

    Try this:
    1. Close all apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
    2. Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo.

  • Computer is acting very strange. Please help.

    My computer has starter acting very strange. It has start to take ages to boot up, and it runs a progress bar on the grey apple screen (as if its was booting in safe mode, but its not). I cant seem to save any files with any Apps. When I try to save documents in office it tells me ether the file name or path doesn't exist, it is open by another program, or its read only. Office also keeps coming up with errors saying im out of memory. Other apps just come up with errors when I try and save files.
    The last thing I did before my computer started acting up, was to increase the size of a Windows partition. Using Winclone I copied my Windows OS, then added the partition back to my mac, and re-partitioned it to a larger size. I formatted it into NTFS using Tuxera, and then used Winclone to put Windows back on. Everything seemed to go smoothly, and the Windows OS is fine.
    Please Help!

    Yes, iRadu is correct.
    If Disk Utility can't fix it, you'll need a more robust utility for the repair. I would recommend DiskWarrior. It is the best at directory repairs. It rebuilds then actually replaces your old directory. I feel every Mac owner should have a copy.
    Make sure you get the disk so you can boot up on it to run repairs. You can also install it on another drive and run it from there to repair this one. DW works faster that way.
    I use DW once a month to try and catch errors in my system from getting too far out of hand.
    DW is the only utility I would recommend to repair +Keys out of order+. It's a pretty serious error.
    Do you have a good backup...one with no issues?

  • Premiere Pro being very slow while previewing

    So recently my friend sent me a png sequence with a alpha channel. And what I want to do with it is put it in Adobe Premiere with my YouTube videos I will edit it with.
    But the problem was when I imported it as a png sequence in premiere and previewed the project, it stopped and started and acted very "laggy." I don't know why it is laggy because a png sequence is not a huge file.
    IF anyone can help me on how to preview it without lag that would be amazing   And is there such thing as a h.264 with an alpha channel?
    P.S: I did try converting the sequence into a QuickTime movie with a alpha channel. All it did was make it even more slow when previewing in premiere.

    Hi raffaele mariotti,
    Please mention some more information mentioned below.
    1. Have you taken any backup through time machine for your user profile?
    2. What are the media files that you are using in Premiere Pro CC 2014 ?

  • Premiere Pro Project Very Slow To Load....Why?

    Hello All
    Really hope that someone can suggest a reason as to why I may be experiencing this problem.  Firstly, heres the problem:
    Problem: I open a Premiere Project and it opens up.  The bar at the bottom reports that all media is loaded, however my thumbnails are very slow to populate and then be hover scrubbable (new verb!).  Not only that the timeline thumbnails take ages to update and are not available for me to begin scrubbing through right away. Very frustrating.
    Here's some facts:
    System Hardware:
    2013 Mac Pro; 3Ghz 8 Core Model; 32 GB RAM; Dual D700s 6GB
    SSD - Mac Standard 512GB as boot drive and for applications
    Edit Drive - Thunderbolt connected LaCie 2Big 4TB Drive x 2 (these are daisy chained via thunderbolt too and striped together in a RAID for maximum throughput) Speeds are generally in excess of 500Mbps read and write
    System Software and Information:
    OS X Yosemite 10.10
    Premiere Pro Project stored on Edit Drive with all media for that project
    Cache Files stored on same drive as Project (Edit Drive)
    Project Size = 48.7MB
    Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this problem is occurring? Previously had problems with the MacPro/GPU Mavericks 10.9.3 issue that everyone had been reporting but seems to have gone away now and after some other troubleshooting like resetting preferences and PRAM; running Safe Boot Disk Permission Repair (as recommended by Larry Jordan).
    Really appreciate any help and this is a really annoying issue and is affecting our workflow hugely.
    Cheers

    Hm, if the issue occurs with two different host systems, then i would rather think that there are maybe issues with the network. Are you aware of any changes/updates done by IT? Security patches, changes of software on router, ....
    What you maybe can try is to isolate one of the host and connect one of the PXI using a cross cable directly to this host. Does the issue occur there again(still)?
    You can format/reinstall one of the PXIs to do a cross check with one system with original state, the other with newly installed state.

  • IPad acting very strange (HELP!)

    Hi guys,
    something very strange is happening to my iPad 2 and I'm hoping someone could help me out.
    So my iPad was working fine few hours ago, and had approximately 50-60% battery left. So I put it to sleep by clicking on the power button on top right, and did my business. After few hours, I tried to turn on the screen as usual by clicking the power button but it won't turn on. So I tried long-clicking because I figured somehow it turned off, but it didn't register. I tried clicking the home button but nothing.
    So I plugged in the charger (despite knowing there was battery left) and the iPad turned on as if it was completely turned off (and asking my passcode and stuff). When I put the passcode, it opens but the battery says 100%. When I unplug the charger, it goes dead again.
    Even more weirdly, when I keep charger plugged, it stays awake for a minute then completely goes dead again. Then after few seconds, the apple logo comes up (as if rebooting) and turns on again. The cycle continues.
    I did not drop it or anything, it was just sitting there, and it worked perfectly fine up until now. I'm very confused why it's acting this way.
    Is this hardware malfunction, plain and simple? Should I take it to the apple store and have them fix it or replace it? 

    update:
    not sure if this is relevant but I turned on my ipad's icloud so i can move my camera roll to photostream (of course ipad still won't work without being plugged).
    Soon after, i got a message on ipad screen saying:
    "verification failed.
    the certificate for this server is invalid. you might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be setup.icloud.com which could put your confidential info at risk"
    Is it possible that my iPad was somehow hacked?

  • Caps lock button acting very strange.

    I recently got a Lenovo T420 thinkpad. Everything has been great until earlier today I tried to log-in to buzzport ( a GT website) and when I hit the caps lock button all these weird things happened. Google Chrome went into full screen, and the "elements" thing came up. Im not sure exactly what it is, but it looks like some sort of HTML code for the website. oh and if it also enters the text "09" when caps lock is pressed. well anyways, now this happens everytime I press caps lock. I opened notepad and pressed caps lock. The result was "09" followed by an endless stream of 1's which continued until I pressed caps lock again. This is very strange and I couldn't find any information about this on google. I don't know what could have caused this, but its very frustrating because this is a brand new laptop. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
    edit: so i've been playing with it, and im convinced that basically instead of just doing what caps lock does, it is pressing a series of other buttons as well including the 09, the 1's, and opening what i now know is called the elements pannel which normally opens with ctrl + shift + C. so in other words, for some reason pressing caps lock preses the buttons "09 ctrl + shift + C 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111" 
    edit 2: ok it just got weirder. I fixed the problem...sort of. I started thinking about everything i have done differently today. I mean ive only had the lap top for a few days after all. tonight is the first night i used the mute button. i unmuted the laptop, and now everything is fine. if i mute, then caps lock acts weird again. I could just always go to zero volume rather than mute, but just as a curiosity, why is this happening? it makes no sense!

    I noticed that some problems don't seem to get attention. I am typing this using a bluetooth keyboard on top of my G4 PowerBook, which is hardly an elegant solution to my caps lock problem. If I spend close to $2000 on a laptop, which is close to the most I spend on any consumer product after a house and car, is it unreasonable to expect that after a mere four years, it can be repaired, rather than simply tossed aside. I am an expat living in a SE Asian country without any Apple Authorised resellers etc. When I make the trip to Thailand to get my machine fixed, I'd like to know that someone there will know what to do to sort this problem, without me being faced with the prospect of having to pay a lot of money to buy a new one or replace hardware that is not in fact needing replaced. That is why I posted on this forum. Was I mistaken in thinking that in the entire Mac using community, there isn't more than one other person having the same issue as me? Is anybody from Apple aware of this problem and do they have any idea how to fix it? I'm not seeking to be antagonistic here, I'd just like to think that somebody, somewhere out there has some idea, what has gone wrong with my PowerBook and can help me get it fixed.
    p.s I sorted out the large fuzzy Apple on startup by zapping the PROM, so that doesn't seem to be directly connected to the game of green light tennis I can now play between my caps lock and num lock keys. (My caps lock key is permanently lit and when I try to turn it off, it reduces the volume of my speakers and "types" "rfr" and other such gobbledegook.)

  • Premiere Pro CC very buggy timeline

    Hi everyone! I can't seem to find a relevant answer to this problem I've been having with Premiere Pro CC.
    Basically, I have a timeline with four video angles (not trying a multiclip edit; they are just in the timeline) and a few sources of audio. As I try to scroll side to side or zoom in and out, I get weird blacking out and clip outlines that shouldn't be there. If I try to move the divider bar between the audio and video tracks, it doesn't do anything. In the attached video, I try to navigate around the timeline, and then go to the multiclip version of an almost identical timeline (which works perfectly). In it's current state, the first (non-multiclip) timeline is completely unusable. Ideas? Thanks!    Premiere CC Buggy Timeline - YouTube
    ~Tim

    The audio and video tracks aren't synced via a timecode or anything definite like that. The audio track in question starts at a different time than the video clips, which means that I would need to scrub through it to find the spot where the audio I need occurs, and grab it. Maybe I just don't know about some functionality within Premiere, but I don't think I can just toss audio in a sequence and have it line up.
    And again, just avoiding a broken or buggy timeline doesn't help me in the long run. What if I was working on a long-form documentary or something where this happened, but I didn't happen to have a multicam sequence already in place? I want to have a solution, not an avoidance-based workaround for this particular project. Thanks!

  • Premiere Pro CC very slow on brand new iMac

    Hi
    We have bought a new iMac, set up the Creative Cloud and downloaded Premiere Pro.
    We've started a few new projects on this machine and whenever we play them back, the video always freezes on a frame whilst the audio carries on playing. When pausing the playback for the visual to catch up, Premiere takes a while to respond to the pause action.
    We've tried changing the video renderer to Open CL, CUDA and Software only and still no luck.
    The computer specs are:
    Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
    3.5 GHz Intel Core i7
    16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096MB
    Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0
    Any suggestions are more than welcome and I will respond with the results.
    If you require anymore information then please ask and I will be happy to supply you with the details.
    Thank you for your time and help in advance.

    Thanks, Jason, that's what I was wondering about.  Generally, people post to forums when they have problems.
    Yep.  That's usually what happens.  My review will be centered around my usual "benchmark" of editing 2 AVCHD inputs, one PiP'd into the other, synced with an external audio source, and then exported to an h.264 MP4.  CC on my current Mac Pro (modified dual 3.46Ghz Xeon, 48G, nVidia GTX570) takes that task about 1/2t, if t = length of video.  Which is pretty damned good.  I'm hoping the dual GPUs will help scale that export task down a bit more.  I don't expect it to hit 1/4t, but.. hey, maybe I'll be surprised?
    I make about 60% of my living from Pr, and the rest from Ae and other apps (mostly Adobe).
    Given the lack of CUDA, at the moment, I don't expect the new Mac Pro to be a stellar performer with Ae specifically.  I assume that Adobe is working on OpenCL'ing Ae as much as they possibly can.  But from what I understand, it ain't there yet.
    (I'd need a TB monitor and PCI extender, too).
    I can understand the need for the PCI extender, but why the TB monitor?  I'd in no way even remotely consider one of those, just given how ridiculously priced they are.  There's no need for one.  Does your display have a DP input?  You're all set.  No?  It has HDMI instead?  Still all set.  It's dual-linked DVI that becomes problematic.

  • Premiere Pro CC2014 VERY slow, unusable on New MacPro

    just update to the new 8.0, compared to the 7.2.2 version, the new version is sluggish.

  • Multicam editing in Premiere Pro CC very slow after latest update.

    So I installed the latest update for Premiere Pro CC a couple of days ago and now every edit I make in my Multicam sequence takes about 10 seconds to take effect. No matter how small an edit I make. While it´s taking affect the computer just freezes.
    Is it possible to downgrade or does someone have a sollution?

    @Devinclk: You specify that you're on 7.2. If that's accurate, then please update to 7.2.2. Among the many bugs fixed were several involving multicam.
    @Mediatek: first off, as a CC subscriber you most certainly do have access to the CS6 version of PPro. On this download page, use the drop-down under "In This Version" midway down the left side of the page to select CS6, then click "Download." As to the problems you're having with CC, if you start a new thread and provide as much detail as possible, there's a good chance someone around here will be able to help troubleshoot it. Remember, while you're choosing to emphasize that you're "another struggling CC user," tens of thousands of customers are using the program without such problems. So there's a particular issue--or confluence of issues--causing particular problems in your case. The first step to resolving the problems is for you to share specific & thorough enough information for someone to help.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 very bad YouTube quality.

    Hello,
    Before asking me to look further on google because there may be my answer, i say that i've searched/posted/asked everywhere i could.
    I use fraps to record some in-game footages, the file bitrates are huge 500-900M, i then render them in premiere pro as i need to add an intro/ending and then i upload them (or i'm hardly trying to) on youtube.
    The thing is I've used every setting I could ever find, contacted youtube users who managed to do it right, but after I upload the video on youtube, the quality is absolutely horrible.
    Right after i render i check the video, the quality is perfect, after that I upload it to youtube and after processing the video, it looks like it has 1M bitrate, laggy.
    Can anyone please help me to solve this problem?
    Thanks!
    RAW clip bitrate: 500-900M
    Render settings from Premiere Pro CS6:
    Format: H264
    Resolution: 1280x720
    Frames per second: 30
    Field Order: Progressive
    Aspect: Square Pixels (1.0)
    TV Standard: NTSC
    Profile: High
    Level: 5.1
    Render at Maximum depth: Checked
    Bitrate settings:
    Encoding: VBR, 2 pass
    Maximum bitrate: 20M
    Minimum bitrate: 20M
    (Tried with smaller bitrates too, like 8/10/15, the output file wasnt so clear but youtube would still kill it)

    OK. Here is what I have done.
    I took took your crisp video of game play and dropped it on the New Item button to create a sequence. I checked the sequence and saw that the video was 1280X720 using 30 frames per second. Not 29.97, but 30. That could be relevant.
    Then I took this screen shot of the video playing in Windows Media Player and in the Program Monitor of Premiere Pro. I see some degradation even at 30Mb/s which suprised me to be honest with you.  I read through the YouTube help and they recommed 30Mb/s for 720p so I exported at 30Mb/s.
    The easiest place to spot the degradation is in the space above the letter E (before the CK) in the upper left of the frame. Some of the texture is missing.Not much. It is ever so much softer. But I don't believe that it will prove to be relevant.
    So, now it is time to upload to YouTube and see what happens.
    Darn, I have no way to play the YouTube video at exactly 1280X720. I just have full screen and the larger box.  Is there a way to do that? Other than setting my monitor for 720p or playing it on an old HDTV?
    Oh well, here it is. Reasonably clean going in. How about coming out? Not so much. I am not happy with it. I am going to try again using CBR just for the heck of it. Crud. That didn't help. See for yourself.
    I am stumped. Somebody with the capability to see it at the exact size speak up please. How is it done. (I use Chrome.)
    Edit: I found a YouTube resizer that sets the medium box bigger - to 1280X720. I knew it had to be possible. But I am certainly not happy with the changes YouTube makes to a 30Mb/s file.
    I am off to go try Vimeo.
    Edit:
    I am not happy with this either.
    There is something about this video that makes it difficult for them to encode it. I have no idea what it might be. Perhaps the more technical among us can provide answers. It is not horrible, and it is better than 480p, but it isn't great.
