Premiere Pro CC 2014 - Playback frozen but everything else runs.

It's bizarre. The timeline in question was working fine up until I moved the program monitor to my second monitor, and then it froze. I figured restarting the program would reset it, but it didn't. I've attempted switching from GPU to software rendering and back, but nothing. When I've tried opening up the export window, I could scrub along the timeline again, but when I exit out everything is still frozen.
Anyone experience anything like this?
Windows 7 Home Premium
GeForce GTX 780
Intel i7-4790k
4.00 ghz

I do not have CUDA installed, and I do not use PluralEyes.
This only happens with one sequence within one project, and once I closed that sequence, saved, and reopened, I was able to work again. But I'm still not sure why it happened and would like to avoid it in the future.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 Playback Issue / Crash Mac Pro 2011

    Hi,
    I've been having a big crash issue on Premiere Pro CC 2014, since the 2014.1 update.
    2014.0 has been working fine this year but the update has crashed some of my biggest current projects.
    Programs just starts fine, workspace responds, but anything related to playback just crashes or freezes Premiere.
    My config:
    Mac Pro Mid 2010
    Processor : 2x2,93 6-core Xeon
    Ram : 24Go 1333
    2x ATI Radeon HD 5770.
    I've been reading all major topics on this, this i did :
    - disable Mercury Transmission
    - Flushes Premiere cache
    - Reinstall premiere
    - Updated to Mavericks (issue happened both in 10.9 and 10.10 - thought updating drivers+opencl would help, then again no)
    - Repaired permissions
    - Tried with another user session
    … and so on.
    Nothing yet has solved my issue, anyone to help me on this major trouble ?
    Thanks in advance, best regards !

    Hi Paul,
    Try the following:
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Ensure Adobe folder preferences are set to read/write in all 3 locations.
    Delete media cache
    Remove plug-ins
    Repair permissions
    In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
    Disconnect any third party hardware
    Disable App Nap
    Reboot
    I placed the chief culprits in bold.
    Report back if anything here worked for you.
    Thanks,

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 playback freezing and crashing with new iMac i7

    Using Premiere Pro CC 2014 and having constant playback freezing and software crashes on a brand new iMac i7.
    Here are the specs:
    iMac i7 4.0GHz 5k Retina
    32 GB Ram
    AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB graphics card
    512GB Solid State Drive
    I was on chat yesterday with an Adobe tech. Although playback/render settings show the OpenCL option to utilize the AMD graphics card for processing, I was advised to switch to "Software Only" as that card is not supported yet. I had to re-render my 45 minute documentary (which doesn't appear to be any faster than it was on my old 2011 iMac by the way) and it still has the same issues.
    So frustrating? Anyone else experiencing this? Any advice? I hope I didn't just buy this "super machine" in vein.
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Hi All,
    Taking some tips from Kevin Monahan. If you haven't already gone through this list please do so.
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Ensure Adobe preference files are set to read/write
    Delete media cache
    Remove plug-ins
    If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
    Repair permissions
    In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
    Disconnect any third party hardware
    If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCL
    Disable App Nap
    Reboot
    Best,

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 Playback Lag when external speakers plugged in

    I've been getting unbearable playback lag in my premiere projects and finally figured out that if I unplug my speakers the lag does not occur.  Quite strange.  I'm pretty sure that my ram is hogged as well when I'm plugged in. Has anyone encountered this problem and more importantly figured out how to fix it?  Editing is almost impossible with the speaks plugged in.  Anyone have any suggestions on settings (pc and software) I should experiment with?
    Thanks guys

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 Launches but ????

    So premiere launches everything looks fine but then the window collapses into the toolbar and when I click on the icon I can't get it to show up. What's going on?
    My computer:
    Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    16 gb ram
    4.0 GHZ AMD processor

    Thanks for posting ... that was one of the more breath-taking movies I've seen this year! 
    Um ... yea, that doesn't allow alot of editing time there does it?
    At this point I might think of going nuclear using the Adobe CC Cleaner app to obliterate all Adobe programs, reboot, then download & install a fresh CC desktop ap, and from that one by one reinstall all the Adobe apps you've got. Don't get impatient like I did and start several at a time. You get to do it all over again ... sigh. Someone might have a better idea but this oft fixes some of these startup/crashing issues.

  • Timeline frequently stutters during playback after upgrade to Premiere Pro CC 2014?

    I recently upgrade to Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I have noticed that my timeline playback frequently stutters on playback if I jump around in the timeline. Other times if I just hit play the sequence will start playing back fine but then it will start stuttering after a few shots? This never happened before. I'am playing back C100 AVCHD media using create sequence from clip option for my timeline settings. I recently upgraded to Yosemite OS on my mac pro and I have not noticed any improvement. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the info Kevin. However on doing more probing into my problem I
    realized the problem was being cause by my Kona LHi card. The Kona card has
    started to whining sound, so I disconnected the card. When I went back in
    Premiere Pro everything in the time line played back really fast with no
    stuttering. The response time in the timeline is very fast. And I can jump
    around the timeline with no problem. I will be getting my Kona Card looked
    at by AJA, I'm sure there is a problem with card.
    Thanks

  • ICanon C100 playback issue premiere pro cc 2014

    I am having playback issues in Premiere Pro CC 2014 with footage shot on my Canon C100 (29.97 fps).  It was happening after doing a straight import and creating a sequence using "new item".  Then, after reading some other threads here and elsewhere,  I interpreted the footage so premiere would see it as progressive (no fields) rather than interlaced, but that doe not seem to help.  It is even doing it when I play at 1/4 resolution.  The only solution seems to be to quit and restart and reopen the project.  Then it works temporarily for a little while but not long enough to actually edit.  I have done projects in Premiere with C100 footage in the past and have not experience this level of difficulty.
    My Media Cache is not going to the startup diskc(it is gong to the right place)
    I am on a Mac 2.66 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    OS X 10.8.5
    10GB 1066 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB
    Please help - very frustrated.  If the solution is to transcode, it sort of kills the value of premiere in many ways.

    Hi,
    This might help :
    Go to File > Project Settings > General and change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only. Click OK and select Delete Previews.
    Thanks,

  • Flickering footage in Premiere Pro CC 2014 but not in Premiere Pro CC 2013

    Hi guys,
    I've been having repeated issues with Premiere Pro CC 2014 on Windows. Basically my footage has a weird strobe/flicker when in the suite and when rendered off even although the footage looks fine, unaltered out of the camera. I rendered off the same footage in the 2013 edition of the software and there is no flicker/strobing going on. I've included one of the worst effected shots in CC 2014 and CC 2013 for comparison.I also experience graphical glitches occasionally when rendering. Please watch below:
    Premiere Pro CC 2014 - strobing (300% speed, cropped 15%, RGB curve adjustment, software rendered)
    YouTube
    Premiere Pro CC 2013 - strobing (300% speed, cropped 15%, RGB curve adjustment, software rendered)
    Premiere Pro CC 2013 - no flickering - YouTube
    The footage was shot on a Nikon D3200 at 1080p 25fps, aperture 3.5, shutter 1/50, ISO 400.
    Editing on a
    Dell Optiplex 9020
    Intel i5-4570 3.2 Ghz
    4 gb Ram
    Intel HD Graphics 4600
    Windows 7
    Has anyone else experienced this issue? My suspicion is an issue with either my graphics card or insufficient RAM.

    Thanks for posting that info.  This mirrors the issues I'm seeing with DSLR footage.
    It's so hit or miss if it's going to flicker.  I'll delete renders and re-render and certain clips will be fine, others are now flickering.  I tried to make a test project that demonstrated this issue, but couldn't reproduce the effect.  RGB Curves and Three Way CC are in my list of effects, as well, where I see the issue.
    Just curious, is anyone else working on projects started in other versions/computers?  I've seen it on project started in PPro CC and finished in CC'14.  Saw it again on a project started on Mac in FCP7, converted to CC'14 Win7.  Quite honestly, I haven't been starting projects myself in CC'14 because of the flicker issues.
    As a workaround, I was hoping to import the CC'14 project back into CC or Media Encoder CC, but no luck there.
    Another issue I've had with CC'14 includes converting a CC project to CC'14, giving it to a CC'14 Mac user and the A/V sync is lost.  We abandoned that collaboration all together because of the issues.  CC'14 has been incredibly unproductive to my workflow, despite the great interface update and various other features added.  I haven't had mystery issues like this since CS4.  I'm keeping our post team in CC as much as possible until the issues are resolved.

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Media Encoder CC 2014 Crashing constantly

    Running out of options and ideas...
    Symptom: Every time I work on any project in Premiere Pro CC 2014 or try to render out in Premiere Pro CC 2014 or Media Encoder CC 2014, the software crashes after 2-3 minutes of use/rendering when the GPU is enabled in Premiere/Media Encoder, or after 5-10 minutes of use/rendering in software only mode.  The crash is a software crash, Windows continues to run fine.
    I have tried all the standard list of steps that adobe reps post on threads like these - clearing media cache, software only on render, new project, etc.  https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-windows.html

    I have wiped adobe off the machine and reinstalled - same problem.  I have tried projects that crash the machine on other machines and it works fine.
    The machine is new, clean install and runs everything else great - 3ds max, high res games, scientific computing - max memory use, etc.
    Spec:
    5K iMac running bootcamp and Windows 8.1
    Intel Core i7-4790K @ 4.0 GHz
    32 GB ram
    1TB SSD
    AMD Radeon R9 M295X 4GB GDDR5
    I have used this bootcamp/imac configuration for 5+ years on 3-4 machines and everything has always just worked great.  Guess it was my time for a problem, but I'm open to new ideas to try...
    Finally - I hope someone from Adobe reads this.  I have spent 2 nights on the phone with support.  The first night I got an over confident answer that it's a gpu driver issue, just go with software only (no luck - same crashes and different drivers aren't solving the problem).  Tonight I was hung up on "by accident" as the agent looked up my video card after waiting 15 minutes to talk to someone, only to be hung up on a second time while on hold after calling back and waiting 20 minutes (because I assume the Adobe call center closed). No message to say so, just hung up on. An overall very disappointing experience.
    Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas on things to try,
    Cheers!

    I am having a similar problem.
    Premiere Pro CC 2014 suddenly decided to crash every time I export to either Adobe Media Encoder or within Premiere itself.
    The encode will usually go for 5-10 minutes before the programs either spits out a "serious error has occurred" window, or it just sits there frozen until I force quit.
    I did find a work-around for the moment. If I open AME and FILE > OPEN, select my project and then the sequence I want, AND put it in Software render mode, it will work.
    My timeline is 2K, 58 minutes in 23.976
    Only effects applied are Lumetri LUTs - no third party.
    I've exported as recently as a week ago without issue.
    Running OSX 9.5 on an X99 board
    3.75 GHz 8-core
    64GB 2400 MHz RAM
    EVGA Titan Black 6GB
    Because I can get my renders out, I am not too concerned. Either there is something wonky with my timeline that screws with any graphics enabled rendering, or there is a bug that is have the same effect. I will try rendering on another of my edit bays that utilizes a GTX 580 that I KNOW works. The Titan is pretty new to my workflow.
    Thanks Adobe, for checking this out.

  • Exporting to Media Encoder crashes Premiere Pro CC 2014

    Greetings,
    I am experiencing a problem with premiere off and on. Right now it is an on problem. When I am exporting from Premiere Pro CC (and CC 2014) it will intermittently crash Premiere. I have tried this with several different audio and video formats (AVI [Lagarith and uncompressed], WAV, H.264, MPG2, AAC, etc). At the moment, every time I go to export to queue it locks up and hangs on the "Preparing data for export..." Media Encoder Launches and then it just freezes. I get "Problem Even Name: AppHangB1" over and over. Sometimes a full restart will fix this temporarily and sometimes it goes away for a long while. I managed to get a few sequences exported and then it just kept freezing on every PP CC restart.
    Here are my system specs:
    Premiere Pro CC (up to date)
    Win 7 64bit (up to date)
    i7 970
    24GB Ram
    NVIDIA 470GTX (driver up to date)
    3 x 1.5TB internal
    4TB internal
    3TB internal
    12TB RAID 5 via USB 3.0
    USB 2.0 and 3.0 drives
    FireWire audio device (M-AUDIO FireWire1814)... although, I am not using it for playback. It is connected.
    Footage is from C100 H.264 .MTS, H.264.mov from 7D, and H.264 .MOV from iPhone.
    All stock video plugins with a few third party audio plugs.
    This problem happens with and without third party plugs, but it happens that this project uses them.
    I have chatted with Adobe help twice about the matter and nothing has come of it. Log out, log in = same. Restart = same (sometimes), create new user account = same, and so on. The only thing I haven't done is completely re-install premiere, which seems a bit overkill. One of the reps said he would get back to me in a few days after he watched the issue via screen share. Never heard back.
    I get the sense that this has something to do with PProHeadless.exe not launching or not running properly. When the crash happens on a fresh restart of PP CC 2014 PProHeadless is not running. I can start PProHeadless and it will send sequence to media encoder. When I try to export another sequence from the same project it crashes and I see another instance of PProHeadless launched.
    Also, once the projects are exported to Media Encoder, I can encode them to any format with no problem. The problem is getting the sequences there!
    Is there anything that I am overlooking here?
    Thanks for the help!

    Hi
    Premiere pro cc 2014  8.0.1 (21) build
    Encoder CC 2014 8.0.1.48
    I use CC for Teams so it updates all the time.
    Again when I tried to use it today by letting premiere open it by sending an output into Queue it crashed both Encoder and Premiere.
    In order to shut down Encoder and Premiere I had to go into Task Manager and "End Process Tree" on everything adobe I could find because just ending Encoder did not work it would not close. I remembered that years ago when Premiere would crash we had to end a photoshop process. I found photoshop open even though it was not "alive" on my task bar. I had used it yesterday but had closed it. I also had to close dynamiclinkmanager.exe *32 as well as one of the three Adobe CDF Helper.exe*32. They popped back on but Encode closed and then I got a message that Premiere needed to close and did when I clicked the button to let it close.
    After all this I re-opened Encoder by itself and checked the Preferences finding that Import Sequences Natively option was again checked.
    By the way for me, "Launch AME manually, then drag the sequence from PPro's Project panel to AME's Queue (or to a preset in the Preset Browser). That uses a different code path than the File>Export>Media workflow." won't work most of the time because I do live events of panel interviews that may run 2 or more hours. I need to break them down to chapters for the web
    Also I know this isn't part of this problem but I and many others would still love dynamiclink to work to Encore because the DVD is not dead yet. The current work path is a drag.
    Looks like some programers and engineers have some work to do.
    Thanks
