Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0 Hanging During Playback

Hi there,
On of our editors has been experiencing Premiere hanging up on them multiple times a day during very basic actions like copying small clips or playback. The project she's working on is a 2 hour feature around 65MB with all ProRes footage on a file sharing server connected via 10GbE with the project file and media cache located locally. The editing station is a 2014 iMac with 4GHz i7 and 32GB RAM. I'm not too knowledgeable about Premiere but am wondering if there are also some settings or changes to their workflow that could optimize working with this project. There are tons of audio and video layers in the project and I'm wondering if that could be affecting performance? Again, I'm no expert but any thoughts as to why this is happening would be a huge help!
Thanks,
Jonathan

No we didn't. Thanks for the suggestion Kevin, I'll do so and then post with an update with any progress.
Thanks,
Jonathan

Premiere Pro CC 2014 - Black flickering lines during playback and when exporting video

I am fairly new to Premiere and have recently started using creative cloud on my new MacBook Pro retina - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 - 16GB Memory - OSX Version 10.9.4
I shot a music video using my friends camera and all the shots were absolutely fine, I dropped them into Premiere and started editing the video together.
Some of the clips are perfectly fine during playback, although sometimes my playback stutters a little, but some of the clips have strange horizontal lines that flash through them when I watch it back. I have only used basic things such as the highlight/shadow and sharpen tools in Premiere. I thought that it maybe fine once I exported the video but when I open up the exported file on my desktop in Quicktime the little black flashes/glitches are still there in some of the shots.
Here is a screenshot you can see a line halfway between the top of my head and the top of the screen, when you watch the video there are lots of these flashing about.
Could this be something that I have set up wrong?
CPU/GPU related?
Thanks,
Jordan

Premiere Pro CC crashes when trimming (often during playback)

I've been having Premiere Pro CC freeze on me about every 2 minutes when I trim in the timeline using keyboard shortcuts (trim backward/forward one frame). It seems to happen more often during playback, but also happens exclusively during trimming (and occasionally when I use a keyboard shortcut to step forward/backward one frame - obviously not during playback).
This appears to be a weird freeze & not a crash, in the sense that playback freezes and I get the spinning beachball/wheel of death and premiere is unresponsive, but when I force-quit, Premiere resumes playback for a second before giving the "Premiere has experienced a serious error and must shut down" error message, and then shutting down.
Any help would be much appreciated - this is really causing a massive slow-down in my editing.
I'm running a MacBook pro
Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013
2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
C02L255BFFT1
OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
Premiere Pro CC fully updated, I'm editing 48kHz .aiff audio files and/or h.264 video in a 1080p 24fps timeline, waveforms on, GPU acceleration OFF.
The same issue also happens on my iMac (from early 2013 - I don't have the specs on me).

Hi minutephysics,
Thanks for your posts. It is always better to have latest version of cuda drivers even, if you are not using the gpu acceleration. So, please update the drivers and then check the performance. Please update the drivers from the link.

Premiere Pro CC freezes on a frame during playback, but audio keeps playing?

Hi,
First time poster, long time visitor to the boards. Running a new Mac "Pony Keg" (I think calling it a "trash can" invites bad performance ) with OSX 10.9.5. Here's a recurring issue: I am playing back a sequence and then it will freeze on a frame (different everytime) and the audio keeps playing. I can stop the playback and it will continue to play, but the frame is locked in. Next, I'll quit out of the app, and try to reopen, but nothing happens because Premiere never actually quit. I'll pull up Force Quit window and it reads as "not responding." I'll Force Quit, relaunch the project and things will work again for a while, and then I need to do a whole reboot. Any thoughts on what might be causing this freeze frame issue or why Premiere won't actually quit? I've seen these posts in some various threads, but not these two issues in the same thread. Thanks in advance for any help and insights offered!
Best,
Tracy

Hi Tracy,
I would suggest these things:
Do this first: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
If that doesn't help, Change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only under File > Project settings > General. Delete previews after clicking on OK.
If nothing helps, try this:
Go to the following locations:
Location 1: When in Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Location 2: Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe
Location 3: Documents > Adobe
In all the locations, rename the 'Adobe' folders to 'OldAdobe'
Launch Premiere, accept the License Agreement and see if it works.
Note: You will lose your customized workspaces, keyboard shortcuts and media cache.
Thanks,
Rameez

Update download of Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1 hangs numerous times.

Just joined CC after San Francisco tour. Update download of Premiere Pro CC 7.0.1 hangs numerous times. Initial download of all CC apps was successful.
Thus, I cannot update download any/all CC software.
FYI: Win 8 laptop. FireFox browser.
Also, is remote access possible to fix this download hang problem?
How can I contact Adobe CC tech support directly?
Perhaps this hanging download problem is a problem on Adobe's end due to high traffic after San Francisco tour event. Tried unsuccessfully several times last night (Friday) and this morning (Saturday).
How can this problem be fixed?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Don Lau

Don, It looks like you have multiple issue going on here. You can contact our Phone Support team. http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?product=premiere-pro&topic=using-my-product-or-service

Premiere Pro CC v7.0 - MP3s corrupted during import with "Write XMP ID to Files on Import"

Premiere Pro CC v7.0 - original MP3s corrupted during import with default "Write XMP ID to Files on Import" option
I have just started using a Trial version of Premiere.
I have a folder full of corrupted MP3 files after attempting to import them into Premiere.
After searching these forums I found that some other people have had corruption issues during import of media and it was related to the Preferences->Media->"Write XMP ID to Files on Import" option.
I attempted to import additional MP3s (this time making backups first) with and without the Write XMP ID option, and have found that this is where the issue is.
While the MP3 files still fail to be imported, the files are not corrupted in the process when the Write XMP ID option is unchecked.
Writing to files that are being imported seems to me like unexpected behaviour for any software.
Adobe please advise!
Is there any way to recover my original MP3 collection?

What exactly is wrong with them?

Premiere Pro CC. Can I use Mercury Playback Support?

I have an iMac (27-inch Mid 2011) with 16gb of memory. I have installed Premiere Pro CC but only get the software option for Mercury. Can I engage graphics card support? Will it be supported in the future?

I have now raised this issue on the Premiere Pro Forum

Video track randomly glitching and hanging during playback

not sure if this should be here or in the compressor forum, appologies for that....
I am building a fairly simple DVD with the main track being 35 minutes and then the "bonus features" consisting of one track with about 12 chapters and stories for the "play all" button...
Anyways, the extra features seem to play fine but the main track seems to be randomly glitching and/or hanging up during playback...sometimes near the beginning, sometimes near the end, totally different experiences on different DVD players as well as the same player at other times...
Does anyone have any ideas as to where I might begin to diagnose this? I have built many similar DVDs in the past but have not encountered this before and need to be quite confident in the master before we press 10,000 copies!
I have encoded all media in compressor using "90 Minutes Best Quality" setting..

Whoa!!! I'd back up here and make sure you have your "T" s crossed before your continue with 10,000 discs! What were your bitrates for the main track and Bonus features? Did you use AC3 audio? DVD has a bitrate ceilings of 9.8 for video. Its also important you check your bitrates in a viewer to makes sure your OK.
Bitrates are the most crucial part to control in DVD.

Premiere Pro CS6 6.0.2 hangs on Close Project

I have a project that I was working on today that seems to have somehow become corrupted. Everytime I open it, and then attempt to Close Project, premiere will stop responding.
I've tried creating a new project, and when I import the sequence from the older project file, save, and and attempt to Close Project, premiere stops responding...
A couple of other projects seem fine. So somehow, this project must have become damaged or something.
How can I debug this issue so i can get the sequence back to keep working?
Thanks,

I was able to find an auto-save version that only lost me some of the work I had done, so thanks for the suggestion.
As I began redoing the lost work, I reproduced the problem. So I spent the last hour narrowing down what is causing it, and have found that an audio track that I am imported will reproduce the issue every time.
I can even start a new project, and import that single audio track, and cause premiere to hang. It's clearly a bug, but I'm not sure how to figure out what's going on.
The track was an MP3, so I brought it into audition and exported it as an AIFF file. But importing that file causes the same issue.
What's the best way to get Adobe to look at this. It's a simple problem to reproduce, and since it causes the app to hang, it probably should be fixed. I also tried to just remove that audio item from the latest project file, but that doesn't help. Once I import the track, any attempts to save the project will result in a hang.
Thanks in advance,

Premiere Pro CC 2014 suddenly choppy or no playback from timeline or preview

Hey folks. The header says it all - can't play back anything smoothly as of this morning.
HP Z820 w/ dual Xeons, nVidia Quadro 4000, 32Mb RAM, 500Gb SSD boot, several internal and external (via USB3) drives.
This is pretty frustrating. One thing to consider is that, due to misconfiguration of a synchronizing program, my C: drive got 100% loaded up over the weekend. I removed the errant files and it now has 45% empty. (Only programs on C:, no media.)
I have updated the nVidia driver, which didn't help at all.
Anyone else seeing this? Thanks -

How old is your SSD? As long, as it has no garbage collector (like the Samsung EVO) and it was heavy in use over last month this really might be the reason. Also external drives can slow down the playback for they are often under 7200rpm or don't deliver full speed via usb 3 for some reasons as I have experienced...

Premiere Pro hanging on my iMac

Sometimes, my Premiere Pro in my iMac just hangs; that is, I get the spinning beach ball. This usually happens when I'm playing some clip in my source monitor or moving my current time indicator fast through the clip in my source monitor. When it hangs, I have to right click on my Premiere Pro icon in my iMac dock and Force Quit.
I don't know what the cause is. My first guess is the playback controls in the source monitor, as I said above. At times, I feel like it has something to do with the Auto Save feature where I'm messing around with the source monitor while PPro wants to do an auto save. But I'm not sure.
I have a decent iMac: 2 GHz dual core Intel processor, 2GB RAM.

Thanks. I did.
I also sent an email to tech support.
