Premiere Pro CS5 playback stops with Canon DSLR footage

I am using Canon DSLR footage (5D and 1D). When I import the footage for the first time everything works OK. If I save, close and reopen the project without doing anyother activity on my PC everything continues to work OK.
My problem is that after I close the project and start doing other activity on the PC e.g. using Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Flash etc and not necessarily all of them, and then reopen Premiere Pro I then start to get a problem with playback stopping on the timeline after about 5-10 seconds.
What I have found is that if I import a fresh Canon DSLR file from the camera then everything starts working fine again until I start using other programs.
There must be something on my PC that is causing a conflict but I can't work out what it is.
Are there any known issues that might help me solve this problem.
My PC is running Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit. I have two x 2.66Ghz quad core processors (NOT hyperthreading), 12 GB RAM, Nvidia FX 4800 graphics card.
Any help would be appreciated.

I have finally resolved this problem and it is several weeks since the "fix" with no repeat of the problem.
I uninstalled Nero from my system and straight away the problem resolved.
I noticed that prior to removing Nero that it was taking priority over Quicktime which, I think, was causing the conflict with codec for the Canon DSLR files in Premier.
It has now been 4 weeks since I removed Nero and there has been no sign of the problem of the video footage stopping in playback on the timeline.

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

Premiere Pro CS5 Playback and Performance Issues

I upgraded (2) separate editing work stations to CS5 from CS4 about a month ago. I moved from 4 to 5 to try and get rid of some problems which both work stations were encountering.
The problems since the upgrade are similiar: playback from timeline has intermittent audio drop out and video going to black during playback, (new one)-video locked up but audio kept playing-system hung and had to be rebooted.
Also, when clicking around on the timeline or scrubbing the timeline, Premiere crashes.
This type of performance on playout or timeline usage is consistent on both machines which have indentical setups and builds. None of this happens all the time but happens enough to causes problems with workflow. We edit on the work stations, dub files to playback system for air, and use a shared server to move files back and forth as needed but files are always stored locally instead of using straight from server.
These machines are:
Premiere Pro CS5.02
OS WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
12 GB Ram, DDR3-1333 (6-2GB modules)
CPU Intel Xeon Quad Core [email protected] GHZ, 2 processors, 8 MB Cache
500 GB SATA 2 hard drive, 7200 RPM, 32 MC (System Drive)...309 GB of space avail
(3) 1 TB SATA 2 hard drives, 7200RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 STorage) 2.16 TB of space avail
Nvidia GE Force 9800 GT Graphics card, DUAL DVI, 1 GB
REaltek High Def Audio, Drivers 6.0.1.5953
(1) monitor in use
output of system runs to ADVC-700 breakout box to feed playback system
I have all of my software installed on C: (309 GB of 500 GB avail)
I have all of my videos files stored on D: (Raid Storage with 2.16 TB of 3 TB avail)
The only changes I've made since installing CS5 would be to change the auto save from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Don't know if an auto save would cause an issue on playback as I've noted above.
I'm not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination but I can follow directions if given for testing/eval.

Do the PPBM5 Benchmark and send the results to me by PM, in addition to sending the results to Bill as indicated. I'll have a look at what might be going on here.

Premiere Pro CS5 -capture settings for canon 30f/24f?

Latley I have been using a canon xha1 for some simple work projects. I am new to the HDV workflow, and I am very thrown off by the XHA1 formats and how to properly capture them.
I have not been able to find the proper way to set up a sequence for 30f settings. Knowing that the 30f is not really progressive which settings should I use. (also what would the proper settings be for 24f?)
PP CS5 seems to have the Canon XF MPEG2 presets. as well as the standard HDV settings. Below is a screen shot of what I assume I should be capturing with.
Lets say the footage is 30f. Which of the following should I use. Or is it netiher due to the 30f being interlaced. Any help would be grealty appreciated.
(Premiere Pro CS5 on windows 7)

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
Colin Brougham wrote:
You'd use the HDV 1080i30 preset for both; they're both interlaced.
That's not really true. These formats carry the flags to tell the NLE which frames to drop. It is progressive.
I use an HV40 with "f" mode all the time and Premiere reads it correctly as progressive. Even after dropping a clip on the make a new item icon.

Premiere Pro CS5 confuses images with each other

Hi Adobe-Community,
I've got a severe problem, that is holding back my whole project at the moment, and I really hope you can help me with this.
Premiere regularly confuses the images I have added to my project with each other. So when I am importing 2 images, let's say CIMG5967.JPG and CIMG5974.JPG, by dragging them into my project, two new elements are created. But when I'm putting these elements into my sequence, both appear as the same image, although they are still properly named after their original file.
Sometimes the very same problem even occurs some days later, so parts of my project, that have already been finished, suddenly appear as if I would have used the same image over and over again.
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 - Version 5.0.3
Using the option to clean up the media-cache-db didn't help.

Happened to me once - a corrupt project.
Unlink all the faulty images.
Open a new project.
IMPORT the old project
Relink the images.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 working with ENPS

Hi all and Adobe team,
I would like to get some information about the new panel about ENPS with Premiere Pro CS5.5 and it's workflow.
But I didn't get its information from Adobe and ENPS' website. Could you please give me any information or documents about it?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Nick

Hi Kevin,
Thank for your reply!
In fact, I have read this PDF before I post this subject. But I think in this document, the introduction about Premier Pro and ENPS integration was too simply. I can't to know what's it and how does it work. Actually, I don't have Premiere Pro CS5.5 and ENPS right now, but I would like to have a deeper understanding about it and consider to get this system, because I have heard that's very awesome!
Whatever I would like to know the detail about this integration. Could you give more information?
Best regards,
Nick

Premiere Pro CS5 Dynamic Link with AE CS5.5

Hi everyone,
I'm experiencing a problem with dynamic links. I have Premiere Pro CS5, AE CS5 and CS5.5 on my computer. When I do "replace with an After Effects comp" in Premiere Pro, it creates a Dynamic Link with AE CS5 and not CS5.5. Is there a way to tell Premiere to use CS5.5 version of AE and not CS5 ?
Fred

Not exactly Harm...
It's possible to import AE CS5 composition directly to PrPro CS5.5 via Adobe Dynamic Link, but not vice versa (i.e. it's impossible to import AE CS5.5 composition into PrPro CS5)

Premiere Pro CS5 native support for Canon 5D/7D

So now that the newest version of Premiere Pro will offer native support for HDSLR like the Canon 5D and 7D, does this mean that editing will be much faster?? Meaning, is there no reason now to export to an intermediate codec like Cineform for faster editing because CS5 will be able to edit the h.264 files without lag? I was just curious as this will make up my decision of upgrading from CS4 to CS5.

Through history, Adobe has promised a lot of things that have:
- Caused many to experience that it's not so, and therefor a lot of screaming/complaints. Most of which (screaming/complaints) has been because people are doing something that is not correct, or installed stuff that screws things up, and so on.
- Caused many people to get great benefits from the new features, and they (many people) have computers that they keep clean and follow needed specifications.
- Sometimes things just don't work, or stop to work (Clip Notes in CS3).
The funny thing is that I have CS3 and edit the video footage from my 7D natively without any problems whatsoever. OK, maybe not quite realtime playback without rendering the timeline, but pretty close. My PC is quite ordinary, Q6600 CPU, 4GB RAM, and 8800GT w/1GB RAM, no over-clocking or special treatments done.
The little extra funny thing is that if I apply MB Looks to my 7D footage, it gets to be more or less realtime playback, probably because Looks forces the GPU to be used.
Bottom line:
Whatever Adobe promises, you'll have to make sure you have the clean gear for it if you want it to work. Except for that, some just are lucky.

Problem exporting Premiere Pro CS5.5 projects with still photos and h264 video

I'm a longtime Final Cut Pro user and evaluating Premiere Pro for my workplace before making the switch. I have been running into several problems when I try to export raw h264 video from a Canon 5D combined with still images on a Macbook Pro. Either I receive an error in Premiere Pro saying, "Error compiling movie. Unknown error." or Adobe Media Encoder appears to continue exporting (the time elapsed bar continues to move) even though the time remaining stays frozen once it hits a photo it doesn't like. It's not always the same photo.
I've spent several days trying to troubleshoot the issue, including batch resizing all photos to 1920 wide (to match the video settings), and it hasn't work. The sequence is currently set to render in ProRes 422. I've also tried HDV 1080p30 and MPEG-4. I cannot find any consistency with the errors. Occasionally an export will work, but every couple still photos will look like green static. I've also tried batch converting the photos in Photoshop to PNG and GIF without any luck. I'd include my default export settings but I've pretty much tried it all. I'm just trying to figure out what's causing the error since the message is very vague.
Couple other notes:
There's plenty hard drive space available for export
I can export the DSLR video (h264, 1080p30) without still photos no problem
I can edit the same still photos and video in Final Cut with no problem
I have the same problem with auto-save on and off
I tried re-installing production premium, deleting the preference files and cleaning the media cache - no luck. I also tried exporting under a different user account and it wouldn't work.
This is driving absolutely crazy. I'm affraid to use PP on deadline because I don't see any issues until it's time to export. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks Todd. Your questions were actually very helpful. I'm using a Macbook Pro with an Intel Core i7 processor and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics card. I'm running OS 10.6.8 and have the latest updates installed.
When I disabled the GPU acceleration, I was able to render and export without a problem. The problem only occured when using the GPU acceleration and mixing h264 with still photos. It also affected both rendered previews and the final export. I'm assuming its a support issue with the graphics cards, but it would be great if you had any other ideas. I appreciate your help.

Premiere Pro CS5.5 incompatible with current Mac Pros?

Does anyone know if the new version of CS5.5 Premiere pro is compatible with the current line of Mac Pros?
At present, CS5 Premiere pro is not. After nearly six months I know they have been unable to correct a problem which causes a complete system freeze under repeatable circumstances and the problem is tied to current Mac Pros standard configuration with ATI cards.

Tom,
I wish I better understood your reply. I don't know what MPE refers to, nor do I know what text file hack you have mentioned.
What I do see is that the system requirements for Premiere Pro 5.5's GPU is listed as follows:
- Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU–accelerated performance; visit www.adobe.com/go/premiere_systemreqs for the latest list of supported cards
Interestingly, it posts this link on the page it is sending you to, which does not inspire great confidence regarding accuracy.
Lower down on the page there is only a list of Nvidia cards. If Adobe no longer supports ATI(or AMD cards) cards for GPU acceleration, they are not supporting any of the standard configurations on any Macintosh currently offered.
Regardless, if the product is hard crashing the system with all standard current configurations under common and repeatable circumstances, there is a serious issue consumers need to be made aware of before purchase.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 Video Codec + with 60d

Hi all at Adobe.com forums,
I have been actively using Adobe After Effects, as well as Premiere Pro to import my video and subsequently alter the footage to my liking. My question is this...
-When you export any of the footage (from the native .mov format on the Canon 60d), I want to retain as much image quality as possible, but keep the file size to an appropriate margin where I can edit the altered footage for future use. I currently use Quicktime Animation - but the file sizes are too large. This causes hang-ups while editing, as well as leaving a mammoth footprint on my HD.
What settings do you use when rendering video? What are the optimal settings?
cwakely

retain as much image quality as possible, but keep the file size to an appropriate margin
Those two goals are mutually exclusive. Keeping the file size down means compression, and that reduces quality. Keeping the quality means no or lossless compression, and that requires lots and lots of bits.

Premiere Pro Color Correcting Help with GoPro Protune Footage

Hey guys,
I'm working on a video I made of my daughter's birth. Most of the footage is from my DSLR and looks fine, but Im' having a helluva time getting my GoPro footage to look even remotely decent. I shot in ProTune thinking I could get more out of it in post (plus, I wanted the 24 fps option). It's a lot of indoor footage and I don't expect miracles but I'm trying to get the best I can out of it.
I start by using fast color corrector to white balance based off hte door trim. That works but it still looks really, really flat and dead. Tried using Contrast, RGB curves, etc. and I can't seem to get any sort of decent image out of it.
Any tips or ideas with where to start? I don't need it perfect, just want it as good as i can get it. Most of my indoor shots look like this for some reason :/
PS, I didn't transcode in Cineform at all. I just dumped the MP4 files right into Premiere Pro.

If you're on PrPro CC, I'd get Speedgrade also and take a run over to it for your correction work ... commonly known as grading. Yea, you can do it in PrPro, but as a noob ... never got the footage I worked "there" as far along as when working in Sg. Might help.
Next ... the scopes here are quite interesting ... first, set your lower-end of the footage to the point where you either go for good "broadcast" (blacks that you WANT black about 16 on a 0-255 scale), then lift the contrast/highs/whatever control until your whites just tip out on top. Next correct for gamma, the overall placement of the mids/upper mids, then start with your color work.
You will probably need to raise in-coming sat up a bit to start making best choices there ... but then I'm also a noob so I'm waiting for the corrections that shooter or Jim will chime in with ...

Premiere Pro CS5 playback HD keeps stopping

Hi,
A newbie here,
Just putting together an HD edit (1920 x 1080) with an imported TGA sequence and quicktimes and when ever I try and play them on the timeline it plays for about 10frms - 3secs and then stops. I've seen several threads with similar issues but nothing seems to resolve it.
This is my set up:
Processor: Intel(R) Core i7 CPU 880 @ 3.07GHz
RAM: 16Gb
OS: W7 64-bit
Runing PPro CS5 as administrator
Video playback and rendering using Mercury Playback GPU
Preferences (memory): Memory
Video card: Blackmagic Decklink HD 3D Extreme
Any ideas, suggestion, thoughts would be most welcome!
Cheers

Hi Todd,
Some different results happening now, I've noticed that in the Playback Settings for Blackmagic that if I check "Turn Off Dropped Frame Warning" the video plays continously but lags behind or plays slowly compared to the audio?
Any ideas please!!?
Cheers
Dave

Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 APP CRASH. PLZ HELP!

So upon opening Premiere everything seems ok. There is no lagging or glitching, I can click tabs and everything is fine.
When I import a .mov file or any of my previous premiere pro files I have no issues.
The problem starts when I try to scrub through the timeline. As I scrub through it nothing shows up in the preview area. Sometimes it is blank and other times it only shows the image that the scrubber was set on. The program seems ok as I'm scrubbing, there's no weird lagging and the program doesn't freeze until the box telling me "Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 has stopped working" pops up.
The same thing happens every time. I do not know why.
Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this?
My copy of Premiere Pro is legal and bought.
The sooner I can resolve this the better. I have other computers I can use premiere pro on but I would like to be able to work on my own laptop when I'm at home :|.
I've also tried updating the program but that didn't do anything either.

It turned out to be a display problem with my computer's settings.
For some reason my computer changed its color mode from 32 bit to 16 bit, which was also making my photoshop gradients show up choppy.
I changed it back and problem solved!!
Thankyou though!

Premiere Pro CS5 Mac 10.6.5 not releasing memory

I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.5 Mac OS, 16GB Ram that I just installed today (had 8GB). I opened up a rather large 11 minute PPro project. I rendered it out. Noticed that the Used Memory was getting larger, up to about 10GB where it leveled off for the remainder of the render. After the render was done, the used memory stayed at 10GB. I exited PPro, and it stayed 10GB. Seems like it's not releasing the memory back to available or am I not understanding how either the Mac OS works with regards to memory or perhaps PPro?

Yes, that appears to be the problem. I disconnected my secondary monitor (which does have a different vertical resolution) and the eyedropper appears to function properly.
Okay, so now I know the cause of the issue. However, disconnecting and reconnecting monitors is not an acceptable workflow. Apparently this problem affects quite a few Premiere Pro CS5 Mac users with dual monitors since you referred to it as a know issue with all versions of Mac OS. Do you know if there is an update (not an upgrade) for Premiere Pro CS5 to address this?
Thanks.
