Premiere Pro CC - Playback issues, rendering and export

Hello all -
I am trying to edit, render, and export a video for play on YouTube. The source is a Camtasia Studio 8 Screen capture with a 1080P High Defintion PTZ camera that is hooked up to the computer as the "webcam". We recorded the screen, used Camtasia to produce and edit, and saved it as a .MOV
I then transferred the .MOV to my computer and opened Premiere Pro CC. I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos and have a read a lot of threads, so I decided that a simple edit job would be the easiest and fastest. I have attempted this 3 times now, each try has been a failure.
Attempt 1:
Opened a new project. Imported my video. Dropped it into a sequence. Added an opening and closing title card, plus lower third captions to video, and added transitions. Playback was choppy, so I read that it needed to be rendered. I rendered the sequence (it took most of the evening). When I went to play it back, I just got footage that said "Media pending" in 7 different languages.
Attempt 2: I decided not to render, just export. Followed the steps above, but instead of rendering, and exported it. I exported as media file, chose the TechSmith Capture Codec, and .AVI as the format. Let it do it's thing. The result was very fuzzy, plus the audio was about 10 seconds out of sync from the video.
Attempt 3: I didn't get very far here, because when I started playback to check my audio syncing, my computer started flipping between Premiere and my desktop, just swtiching back and forth.
Any help here, suggestions, would be very much appreciated. I need to post this video for work as soon as I can.

Premiere Pro CC2014 Playback issues, Render issues, Serious Error issues

Here's my problem. Premiere Pro CC worked amazing. Never had any issues with playback, rendering - nothing. However, CC 2014 appears to be quite different. Yesterday I literally had to restart Premiere every 20 minutes! Out of no where video playback would stop. The playhead would continue and I could still here audio, but I either saw a still frame of video or it would go completely black. The only way to get out of Premiere was to force quit. I also was not able to save the process I had made over the last 20 minute session. You can imagine my frustration as I have clients in with me on this edit. I need to know a fix and I need to know it quick. If Adobe wants to be in the professional game, they need to fix it ASAP.
Here's what I'm running.

Premiere Pro CC playback issue

I'm running premiere pro CC on a brand new mac pro, and am experiencing playback issues after rendering video. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason as to why this happens, but I do notice it when layering multiple video tracks. When the rendered video is playedback, it seems to drop frames in the program monitor. Essentially, it looks like a flicker effect has been applied, and the video will cut out rapidly, and a black screen with apear every other frame. This stops randomly, and normal playback resumes.
I've had this issue working with Red footage, Canon DSLR footage and GoPro footage... Footage type doesn't seem to affect it. It doesn't necessairly happen when a transition or edit has been applied... I can't figure out any sort of cause.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

Premiere Pro CS6 playback issues & graphics glitches

Hi everyone.
For a few days now (not sure whether it's been like this since the latest update) I have been experiencing serious playback issues and graphics glitches with Premiere Pro CS6. I'm on a Macbook Pro Retina.
Please see attached screenshot for reference. What happens is, I start Premiere - it works fine for a few minutes, but at some point things start to go wrong. The program monitor doesn't show anything anymore, even though the playhead is moving and I get audio.
Sometimes, either the program monitor or the source monitor displays some other part of the Premiere UI or even OSX Finder windows/ other applications like safari. What you are seing in the screenshot is a glitch showing a part of the source window within the program window.
Once this happens, there's nothing I can do but to restart Premiere.
Does anyone else have these kinds of issues?
Premiere is becoming unusable for me at the moment, which is a serious issue since this is my primary NLE.
What also happens from time to time is the following: i start up my project, and once i do anything like moving the playhead, i receive the following error message "a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down" which then does exactly what it says. this will happen repeateadly until i restart my computer.
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the forum.
Make sure you have the latest driver for your video card, and if you're using hardware mercury playback, then make sure you have the latest CUDA drivers from nvidia. If that doesn't work, then please answer the questions here as completely as you can:

Premiere Pro CS4: Output Issue - codec and image size

I am having an issue when outputing a video file from Prem Pro to Media Encoder. The dimensions of the input video are the usual 720x576. The output I need is 390x390 to match my project. By choosing the Sorenson 3 video codec I am able to adjust the size from 720x576 to 390x390. However, it also applies black bars to the top and bottom of the image. I don't want this. If I choose the DV PAL video codec the black bars are removed in the output but I do not have control over the image size.
In Prem Pro 1.5 the media encoder allowed for this and I was able to create a cropped video image (390x390) without black bars. By selecting the zoom option the image was fitted into the window size. There is no zoom option in CS4 in Media Encoder. This is very frustrating!
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks, Neil

This is odd indeed, and I cannot recall having read of such. The tips were just the general things that one normally checks out, when there are audio issues, so nothing specific to this behavior.
Now, as a test, you might want to try ASIO4ALL, linked in the article above. Usually, it will get audio, where the Realtek, or Creative driver will not. Again, this is as a test, just to see if by-passing the Realtek driver will help. Do not forget to set the Audio Hardware ASIO to ASIO4ALL in Input and Output. Then test. If it has zero affect, then just uninstall it, and change the setting back.
Good luck, and wish I had more to help,
Hunt
PS - other than mechanical/electrical things like the audio chip heating up and a connection failing, I just cannot think of something that would cause this behavior. Maybe download and run SpeedFan, a great little free utility, and monitor the temps for all components with sensors.

HELP: Premiere Pro CC not using all CPU and RAM during rendering and export

Hello,
I am using Premiere Pro CC on a Windows 7. My timeline is quite simple with two videos, one with the movie (mpeg) and the other with the subtitles (avi).
When I render the sequence in PP or export, the rendering time is way too slow and it only uses around 15-20% of the CPU and 3 GB of RAM.
My hardware config is :
- CPU : i7-4770k 3.50Ghz
- RAM : 8 GB
- Disk : 2 x 3 TB SATA (no raid)
RAM is not the bottleneck, neither the disk access.
I have tried rendering and exporting the same project on an iMac (with an i5 2.7 Ghz and 4 GB RAM and only 1 disk) and the result is 4x faster !!!
The CPU usage is close to 100% as well as RAM usage.
So how come PP uses all resources availble on an iMac and not on a Windows 7 ?
Is there any known bug or software bottleneck on Windows 7 ?
My machine is brand new and nothing much installed besides Adobe products.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,

I just rendered out a a 2 minute sequence with about 100 clips in it and Colorista effects on everything to the Vimeo 1080 H264 preset. It took about 5 minutes to render straight from Premiere, it used all the recourses it could, my CPU was running at near %100, same with my ram and GPU, I was happy.
Then I did another render with Red Giant Denoiser and it now wants to take 30 mins and it is only using about %20 of the recourses available. My problem isn't that its taking longer with Denoiser but that its not using all of my computers CPU and GPU.
Im rendering at maximum render quality and bit dept to H264 (Im happy to wait the extra time), if I try to use VRB 2 it encodes 1 pass at a time and wants to take up to 40 minutes.
I would appreciate some advice on this.

HELP! Jerky playback on Premiere Pro 6.0.2 CS6 and Retina MBP (16GB)

Dear all!
Please help me to solve this problem!
It's going on Premiere Pro 6.0.2 CS6 and Retina MBP with 16GB RAM installed.
CUDA Driver Version: 5.0.24
MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012
Processor 2,7 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.1 (12B19)
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.2. - 072)
While playing back inside PP a jerky playback occurs, every 1-2 seconds it rewinds to 2-3 frames back and continues to play forth...
No special console messages or something similar visible.
Have tried to clean the cache but it doesn't help. Also have tried to switch the mode between CUDA, OpenCL and SW - without any visible changes...
Exhausted... Please HELP!!!!

avrbox, I had the same problem and went crazy because I didn't find a proper solution. I use Windows, though. Finally, I got to fix the problem. I use a i5 processor, which I overclocked with an asrock tool that came with the mainboard (to about 3350 MHZ where the system ran stable). When I turned overclocking off, Premiere played back the clips just fine. I overclocked then step by step until the playback went jerky again and kept that frequency. Maybe your processor is overclocked by stock or you did it manually?
Hope this is your solution!

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

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:

The program was running fine up until yesterday when I was attempting to do some simple editing of some GoPro footage together and Premiere began to freeze and crash when rendering and exporting. I thought it was an issue with the footage so I attempted to import some video from my Canon XA20 that I was using eariler in the day I knew worked and now Premiere crashes when I attempt to import it and move it to the timeline. I have uninstalled and re-installed Premiere and the problem has not been fixed. Below are two sets of error messages I have seen in the event log.

Hi,
Try to reset the preferences.
go to documents folder-adobe-7.0
rename it old 7.0
once we reset the preferences, you would loose you custom presets and keyboard shortcuts if you created any.

Very slow Rendering and Exporting

Hello,
I switched to Premiere CS6 from FCP 7 after FCPX came out and haven't looked back. In a lot of ways, it's much better for certain tasks.
In others, it's not. Initially playing back "red-lined" content worked fine and i was able to view the edit before I committed to render/export.
Now, I see every 10 frames or so and it skips and stutters. Rendering and exporting times have spiked dramatically over the past month
for some unknown reason. I have a small prod company and we're using Mac Pro's (8-Core) with min of 16GBs of RAM in each.
I know there are 101 factors that go into export time, I'm just wondering if anyone if encountering the same issues.
I just pieced together a 10-min video in FCP7, all ProRes files with minimal cutting and it exported in 2.5 minutes.
The same project on Premiere was telling me 3 hours. I don't get it.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks
Dan

Rendering times are not decided purely on the length of the video.
The type of effects you have added have more impact.
Also you cannot always trust the estimated time you are given.
Have you let it render for about an hour to see whether the estimate drops dramatically?

Premiere Pro Freezes mac while rendering Fast Color Corrector & Rgb curves

I am having a problem that is impacting our business. We are doing commercials that we are doing color correction of the subject using Fast Color Corrector and RGB curves. When these effects are added to the sequenced video, the performance of the Mac Pro slows down considerably.
Then when we go to render the project so that we can see the effects in real time, the computer freezes completely. The program usually informs us that it must close due to a serious error. I have attempted to restart the computer, clean up permissions etc to solve this problem but to no avail. Why would this happen? Any ideas on how to solve it?
Here are the specs:
Using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 (4)
Mac Pro: 3.2 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 24 GB
ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1024 MB)
OS: 10.8.5

Yes. I experimented on my own and got confirms from a couple of sources. Where the problem was is bad suggestions about what settings to use in Premiere Pro.
The first setting you want to check (although Premiere Pro will probably see the card right away is:
File > Project Settings > General - Make sure that Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is selected. Everyone agrees on this.
Now is where the fun begins. There is a school of thought that says to go here:
Sequence > Sequence Setttings - Under Video Previews, they want you to check off Maximum Render Quality. Once you do this, you must also go to:
Preferences > Memory - and change Optimize Rendering for Performance
DO NOT DO THIS! What I found is that this significantly slows down your system and makes rendering and exporting take over your computer (and I have a lot of ram). Leave your change with the setting Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and you should be great.
I have found a significant change in running color correction effects, exporting and rendering. You will too.
Let me know how you make out after your setup.
Have a great day!

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 keeps lagging and crashing

My Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 keeps lagging and crashing to a point where I cannot do my job. When I open my premiere file, I can work on my timeline for maybe two or three minutes before it lags, freezes, and then finally crashes. I'm at a loss of what exactly is causing my problem because I edit primarily H.264 files and my sequences are not complex in any sense of the word. I've been dealing with this for days and I cannot seem to find a solution. If anyone has any advice please let me know because I am desperate. Thank you.

Hi Dana,
Can you go to File-Project Settings-General and change the video renderer to Software Only Mode.
Check if that works or not.
Are you using any third party plug-in's for Premiere Pro?

General error in FCP re: rendering and export after Quicktime 7.5.5 update

Hi
My FCP 6.0.4 rendering and export to Compressor no longer works after an update to Quicktime 7.5.5.
Rendering fails after a few seconds "General Error!" pops up. Exporting to Compressor, after setting it compressing, Compressor after a few seconds fails. (audio is processed) My current work around is exporting a sequence using Quicktime conversion (time consuming) and then opening in Compressor.
I've done the usual, deleting prefs, new sequences and projects, even saving movs in different codecs.
(been using H.264)
My sequences are all custom sizes but tests using presets also fail.
Any ideas anyone?
And I was so happy the Quicktime upgrade could play sequence movs recorded months earlier that until now I couldn't play properly due to previous Quicktime upgrades!
Apple gives with one hand and takes with the other....

Hi There,
Thanks for your reply on this.
Well basically since I'm using content already in the H.254 codec (eg: a trailer off the internet, or the downsizing of HD footage) i'm just exporting to a codec that didn't have to be rendered and gave quality results. I used motion jpeg B as an export codec because it was quick (although HD space hungry) with no drop in quality. The resulting exports could be imported into a custom sequence (720 x 405) as square pixel aspect ratio files. Overlapping the canvas with other windows (eg: viewer) meant I could play a clip (with dropped frames) but not have to render it. I selected the H.264 codec as the sequence codec because I've found other codecs introduce darkening or lightening or blurring or other undesirable artefacts when exported to Compressor. H.264 used in the sequence settings exported through Compressor would give resulting m2v's as sharp and contrast accurate as the source file.
That was until the recent 7.5.5 Quicktime update where attempts to do the same things I did before result in "General Error!" coming up after a few seconds of play or rendering.
Traditional DV codecs are "blurry" in my opinion, especially when coping with web content or conversion of HD downloads.
If you can suggest an editing codec that works best with FCP that is quick, doesn't introduce blurring or general degrading of the image I'd be happy to try it out. I typically downsize HD content from the web for DVD playback, so it's usually in a H.264 codec already. So i would need a codec for export from Quicktime that would work best with a codec in FCP. That doesn't alter picture quality when compressed to m2v in Compressor.
Thanks!
