Premiere Pro CS6 moving Extremly Slow, No solutions. I quit.

Im uninstalling this software and counting my losses. Not a professional editing platform. After hours of searching online there are no available solutions. And MANY others are experiencing the exact same thing as I am and Ive tried on 3 Mac computers all recent models and the same result. All of my computers are at least $2500 a peice and have the maximum amount of ram available and its not enough. Last year I edited an event with Premiere Pro CS5.5 with no problems, and this year the same event I have to start editing again from scratch because I cant even open it in CS5.5. Im a die hard Adobe customer but this really does it form me in terms of CS6 im OFFICIALLY DONE. I cant even finish a 3hr project that Ive been working on its that bad. Definantly not recomending this to ANYBODY that puts any sort of value on there time.

A lot of people are using Premiere and Mac successfully. Usually the more professional a user is the better they are able to keep there system up and tuned. One of the keys is having a dedicated edit system, getting any bugs ironed out then leaving it alone.
That's not to say that everything is rosy in Abobeland. The user forum is saturated with Mac users, which are a minority of users. One could expect an influx of questions from FCP refugees, but so many technical issues? One culprit most be the obvious overhead computing requirement to run Premiere efficiently. The lowballing of recommended system requirements listed in the adverts, courting Mac users whose macbooks and iMacs were not built for native HD editing have lead to a number of issues and disappointment.
And at the same time there seemed to be OS & software conflicts. Many Mac users were surprised that they experienced problems after upgrading their OS to Lion, even though CS 5 was designed for, and working on the previous operating system, and was released over a year before Lion.
I can't speak to your specific issue, but I wish you luck.

Premiere pro cs6 No audio solution yet?

None of my videos have audio show up in premiere pro cs6 (64bi and windows 7 64bit) but works perfect in any previous version CS5 etc. Many I noticed have same issue yet adobe has not released any solution builds (as of July 18th) to cure this!
I have mts files (mp4 is ok and avi etc) and would normally drag the video mts fiiles from either a folder or the memory card when using premiere pro cs5 or sony vegas and away I go....but NOPE not with CS6 it sucks!
I have tried reinstalling prem pro, of which I have latest build, renamed the mts etc indeed followed and studied every single so called 'solution' people post on the forum and still the same arggggh!
and no way am I getting involved encoding and all that as it worked fine with CS5 and sony vegas as I said.
Anyone know what's happening with this audio issue and found a simple cure? or could somehow get adobe to release a bug fix patch?
Frankly it just plain crazy to release a new suite and ignore peoples issues - so many other folks report all over the internet same thing with CS6 yet adobe as said done nothing to help people but ignore all forums and this one - you cannot email etc to tell them to fix it no email address I can find.

Captured video using Premiere Pro CC on MAC, wont import when moved to Premiere Pro CS6

Using a Captured video on Premiere Pro CC on my Macbook air, my video wont import when moved to Premiere Pro CS6 when i try to edit it on a pc (Windows 7)
When I try to import the file into CS6 it says *error while decompressing file*
If anyone has any idea what could have happened or what I might have done wrong please reply.

mojo,
Do you have QuickTime and the associated codecs installed in your PC?
Thanks,

Slow motion and trailing in premiere pro cs6

attached is a sample of a clip edited years ago with liquid edition.
In liquid edition "timewarp editor" you could create slow motion together with trailing effect as it shows in the attached clip.
I wonder if it can be done in premiere pro cs6
thanks arikw

Well, you could do it manually if you wanted to. Just pile up a few tracks of the same clip and offset each one by a frame or two from the others. Then set the opacity to something low, like 25%, and see how that looks.
There may be an effect for it that I just am not familiar with.

Premiere Pro CS6 - Shouldn't be THIS slow..?

Hi All,
I have the following spec machine:
Macbook Pro 2.4 Core i7 (Late 2011) 16GB RAM
Running Mac OS X 10.8
1x LaCie Thunderbolt drive (media)
1x USB 2.0 scratch disk (media cache)
Local 512Gb SSD (project files)
Set up like the above surely shouldn't be staggering along with fans blazing? I currently have a 2 minute video sequence 1920x1080 with 1x adjustment layer for colour correction TURNED OFF and it still can't play back properly even at half the quality...
Is the above setup wrong? I was always taught to split the locations of project files, media and cache... Happy to listen to anyone who knows better though? Thunderbolt drive is so fast so why oh why is this struggling..
Auto graphics switching is also OFF so it isn't that..
Andy

Sorry to hijack this thread, but I've also been experiencing super slow performance with Premiere Pro CS6.
My setup is as follows:
MacBook Pro
2.2GHz i7
8GB DDR3 RAM
500GB Harddrive with 30GB available
AMD Radeon HD 6750M
I'm editing footage from a 550D DSLR, which comes out the camera in H264 format.
The project I'm currently working on should by no means be very processor intensive. It simply cuts between 10 different shots of a person talking to the camera, and there are only 13 video clips imported into the project.
I experienced very choppy and slow playback until I read your post Greg. I had GPU acceleration turned on, so I decided to try turning it off. I instantly noticed improved performance. Is my machine simply not cut out for GPU acceleration?
Thanks,
Jonnie.

Premiere Pro CS6 Extreme Lag / Choppiness In Playback Please Help

I have a brand new Windows 8.1 Desktop
1 GB Video Card AMD Radeon 7700
16 GB Ram
3.4 Ghz i7-3770 CPU
Scratch Disk on an external drive that spins at 7200 RPM
I'm coming from a Macbook Pro (with less specs then the current desktop I'm using) in which I had no problem with playback choppiness/lag with premiere pro cs6, so this has been quite frustrating to figure out. I've looked at several other threads, etc and there has been little help on the subject it seems. If anyone has any tips, advice, or can point me in the right direction to get rid of the lag/choppyness that would be a blessing.

Okay I solved the problem.
If anyone else encounters this here's how you solve it.
Goto "Sequence"
Goto "Sequence Settings"
Here you will see "Video Previews"
Preview File Format
I switched from "Microsoft AVI" to "P2 720p 60hz dvcprohd"
Now there is no lag/choppiness in any of my video preview files. HOORAY!

NVIDIA GPUs for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 | NVIDIA and Adobe Solutions | Adobe TV

Sean Kilbride from NVIDIA talks about how Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and NVIDIA GPUs were used in the editing of the Heavy Hand music video.
http://adobe.ly/QaVPwR

I'm playing around with the trial of CS6 right now. At first I wasn't getting the option to use GPU rendering until I added my card to the supported list (GeForce GTX 670). Unfortunately my playback is still laggy, just like when it was on software mode. I'm trying to watch 1080 video that I recorded using software on my computer.
I have an i5 2500k at 4.3GHz, 8GB ram, and two 670s in SLI.
I have premiere pro cs6 running on my main SSD, and my scratch disks set to my single platter 7200 RPM hdd. In the past on CS5 I was able to have my scratch disks set to the drives I have the original files on with no lag.
What can I do to get smooth playback?

Premiere Pro CS6 - A low level exception has occurred in ImporterMPEG

Hi Adobe Community,
I'm having a bit of an issue with the ImporterMPEG.prm plugin for Premiere Pro CS6 that's causing playback and exporting issues.
Computer Specs: Win7 PC, NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 graphics card
Description: After playing back video for a while, Premiere will eventually start repeatedly reporting "A low level exception has occurred in ImporterMPEG". The preview player will be completely frozen, and I'll be unable to export. The exporting will fail with a generic "Unexpected error" message.
This issue has only started a week ago. Until now, I've been able to use Premiere Pro CS6 with no issues. If possible, I'd like to avoid upgrading to CC 2014, because the CS6 version was working fine before.
So far, I've tried a few things:
• Deactivating and reactivating (which, by the way, apparently doesn't help subscription users like me, per my recent chat with Adobe support on this issue)
• Uninstall and reinstall (I didn't know about the CC Cleaner tool at the time, so I haven't tried a clean uninstall yet)
• Change the Preview File Format in Sequence Settings (from I-Frame Only MPEG which had worked since I installed the software over a year ago to Microsoft AVI)
• Crying silently to myself (this did not help, the computer is cold and cruel)
• Clearing out the media cache (which I'd never done before and let it get up to ~75GB without me noticing)
• Moving the plugin from its location in Program Files, hoping that maybe Premiere Pro would notice it was missing and to try to find a new fresh one (it didn't work)
So far, only the Preview File Format change seemed to bring relief, but the bad behavior came back after about a week.
I'm thinking maybe the ImporterMPEG.prm plugin got corrupted somehow? The one notable thing I can remember with the computer in the last few weeks was a power event that shut down my computer unexpectedly. I think I had Premiere Pro open at the time.
If it's relevant, I mostly work with .AVI, .MP4, and .TS files in my projects, all varying resolutions and FPS. I'm usually working with about 1GB of files in a project, very rarely more than 2GB.
Has anyone else had this issue? Or, even better, has anyone else resolved this issue?
Thanks!

But really, the real solution for me was to not update Premiere Pro CS6 after a reinstall. The most recent updates just do not like my computer, I guess.
Figured I should post this solution here in case anyone in the future has this problem. (relevant: xkcd: Wisdom of the Ancients)

Premiere Pro CS6 stopped working, for one user profile

So Premiere Pro CS6 wouldn't open today. Opened fine yesterday, and the days before that. The program didn't crash yesterday or close improperly. I just get the logo splash screen, but I don't see the usual text stream of applications starting up on it. After a long time I get a Windows message saying it can't open the program.
- I used Bridge to update to the latest version. No help.
- I made sure Quicktime was updated.
- I cleared the preferences by moving the whole My Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\6.0 folder somewhere else (as a backup). Next time I tried starting the program it created a new \6.0 folder but that's as far as it went.
- I deleted AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro. Starting the program recreated the folder, made a Trace Database file but only put two entries in it:
DynamicLink 1 5
FE.WinInit.LocPlugins 1 5
And then it stops there. No other files created.
- Tried starting the program holding the Shift Key, and again with the Alt key, and again with both. No change.
- Rebooted after every change.
I tried logging out as the video user account and logging in with my personal account, and then Premier Pro opened just fine.
Problem is, I need it to work on the video user account because it was created specifically for our video editing PC. Our company logins also tie into our email and other programs. This one was created specifically so more than one person could share Premiere Pro settings and resources, and there was a battle with our IT to get it because they despise generic accounts.
I've seen other threads here mentioning startup problems but the solutions listed there don't work for me. Manually trashing the \6.0 folder didn't help. I don't have a .pref file or Preferences folder other than the \6.0 one. I haven't made any changes to the PC. The video drivers must be OK or it wouldn't start under the other user account. How do I fix this one?

This was Microsoft patch week... did you install Windows updates?
•What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
•What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
•Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
•For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information

Premiere Pro CS6 playback freezes, regenerates .pek and .cfa files

When I try to watch something in a sequence, the Program Monitor freezes. The playhead moves in the timeline as usual and the audio plays just fine, but the visual freezes. Sometimes it stops a few seconds after I start playing and sometimes the video never plays at all. When I stop playback, it remains frozen for a while, then resets to the frame the playhead is on.
As I checked different options, I discovered Premiere is regenerating both the .pek and .cfa files every time I open it, even though all of my projects have already conformed. I have it set to store the media files with the project, so I know the preview files have not moved or been deleted. I work on this setup 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and nothing changed since I was in yesterday. It was working fine when I shut it down last night, no one could have logged in while I was gone, and this morning it doesn't work. No updates were installed, no files were moved, no drives switched.
I have searched the internet for help, but all of the forums I've found are at least two months old and recommend installing the 6.0.3 update. I did run updates for all my Adobe software, and it didn't help. I also deleted and re-rendered my peak and cfa files.
One six-month-old forum said that Premiere CS6 cannot playback long AVCHD .m2ts files. Previously I had no problem working with .m2ts files 35 minutes and shorter, or with .mp4 files up to 75 minutes long. The video I'm currently working with is about 75 minutes long. And again, it was working fine yesterday.
Further investigation revealed that playback does not freeze when I import a selection from the Source Monitor (vs. importing from the Bin and trimming in the Timeline) and do not layer clips or apply effects.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Media Spec:
File type: AVCHD Video
Resolution: 1920x1080 (1080p), 29 fps
Imported from camera hard drive using PlayMemories Home
Computer Spec:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
Windows 7, 64-bit Service Pack 1
Graphics card is Quadro 5000, driver 276.19
OS/boot drive is a solid state 250gig, and files running off a 2TB local hard drive

I've tried several more things.
The playback does not freeze if I have only one clip in the timeline.
If I have clips on two or more video tracks, it starts freezing.
Once I clear it down to one video track, it takes a couple of seconds (up to 30) to start playing normally again.
Sometimes I can play two tracks for several minutes before it freezes. Sometimes it freezes immediately.
When I open Premiere, I get the "Media Pending" screen for way longer than usual.
I have rebuilt the peak and cfa files, no difference. GPU accelerator is enabled. The latest Adobe updates are installed.
I see a few other forums with similar problems but no solution.
No settings, file formats, or file locations have changed since Monday (the last time CS6 was working properly). After a lot of digging around I found that a Windows Defender Definition update was installed the morning of the day PP started freaking out. I can't get rid of this update.
I edit two or more hours of footage per day. They are lectures, so they are recorded in 1-3 hour chunks. I use two videos simultaneously--one with the professor's powerpoint presentation, and one of the professor. I keyframe the PPT video into the corner, overlaid over the lecturer. I did this for years without problem in CS5.5 and for two months without problem on my current setup.

Premiere pro CS6.0.3 keeps crashing when exporting to H.264

Good day everyone,
I am trying to export my timeline using some of the H.264 setting and it keeps crashing on me. Not all of the H.264 like the Apple and Android settings. Those work fine. But trying to export to H.264 Youtube (any presets), H.264 HD 1080I 29.97 and HD 1080P 29.97 it will process to around 80%-95% than crash. It gives me an error message than gives me three files that can help with finding the problem.
I have tried to export using Premiere and also AME. They both crash at the same point.
I have tried creating new projects, new sequences and such. No luck.
Currently I am using Premiere Pro CS6.03, Adobe Media Encoder CS 6.03 as well. Windows 7 64bit, Intel Core [email protected] with 8GB ram. My video card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670. Any advice would be most helpful and appreciated.
Thanks

I solved what might be a similar problem last evening by lowering the speed of my i7-3055K (nominal 3.9GHz) to 4.2GHz from 4.5GHz.
My symptoms were similar: new PC build (10 days old); crashing or blue screens about 1 minute into a 3 minute Premiere export or AME render, Win7 Pro. The system had previously been very stable. At first I suspected an H264 codec problem or an iTunes/Quicktime incompatibility but when an AVI render using the NTSC DV Widescreen preset crashed it broadened my search for solutions. Mercury GPU render on/off did not fix the crash problem.
The render last evening was probably the first time that my new CPU was seriously stressed. Lowering the CPU speed was the quick solution. Overclocking sites/forums probably have tips on stress tests, memory tests, voltage tweaking, etc but as long as the system is stable I'll probably be satisified with the slower CPU solution.
The CPU cooling is the Intel stock fan. 32GB of Corsair memory is running at its rated PC1600. CPU and memory voltages are the defaults, i.e., no tweaking. Intel DZ77RE-75K motherboard. EVGA GTX680 FTW+ 4GB at its defaults, i.e., no overclocking/tweaking. 1000 watt power supply , which is probably overkill but it's what I had lying around (I have an almost identical setup (GTX460 rather than GTX680) which runs fine at 4.2GHz with a 700-watt PSU -- but I've never stressed that 2nd PC with an Premiere/AE/AME render).

CC wont let me re-download premiere pro CS6! HELP!!

Hello all,
So i previously had all of the CS6 Family installed on my computer. Something went wrong with Adobe Encore and it wouldnt open so i uninstalled Premiere Pro and Encore CS6.
After un-installing i restarted my computer and opened Creative Cloud.
When looking in the find new apps section to re-download Premiere Pro CS6 i could not find it. I filtered the search and selected previous versions but the only apps it says it has in previous versions in are Bridge, Edge Animate and Gaming SDK.
I checked in the my apps section to double check it was definitely un-installed. I can see Premiere Pro CC but CS6 is not showing up anywhere!
Ive tried looking for other links on the adobe website but it just gives me the option to buy a subscription (which i have already payed for) or download the trial.
Ive looked endlessly on forums for a solution but no joy so far.
I desperately need to get to the bottom of this as i need Adobe Encore for work.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

Hi,
Please uninstall your creative cloud desktop app and re-download it from the below link:-
Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop
and then follow the same steps that you have been following.
Hope that works for you.

Premiere Pro CS6 - Project frame won't retain its layout or location between opening and closing?

I filed this as a bug, but perhaps I'm thinking through this wrong and would like to seek help.
I'm finding that the Project frame in Premiere Pro CS6 does not retain its layout between opening and closings.
Here's what I do:
1) Open a project.
2) Create several bins and populate them with media. Expand the contents of a bin by clicking the disclosure triangle to the left of the folder.
3) Undock the Project frame only.
4) Close the Project frame with Command-W
5) Use ****-1 to reopen the Project frame.
Repeat steps 4 and 5. The result is that the Project frame does not remember which bin was open. Furstratingly, it also does not retain which bins were expanded or collapsed.
And worst of all, it will also open in random areas of the screen. (The expected result is that it would reopen in the same spot of the desktop where you last closed it, no?)
I'm a big organizer -- tons of footage across many different bins. I open bins, close them, keep some open, close others... easily dozens or hundreds of times during an edit session. I'm beginnging to feel like I'm swatting flies or playing whack-a-mole just to get my bin views correct!
Or mm I approaching this wrong?

But really, the real solution for me was to not update Premiere Pro CS6 after a reinstall. The most recent updates just do not like my computer, I guess.

Premiere Pro cs6 keeps crashing when im editing or rendering a video

When I am on Adobe Premiere Pro cs6 every 10-20 mins it crashes when im editing a video, it crashes more often when im rendering it (export media, ctrl+M). I dont mind when it crashes while im editing because i save the file regularly but when im rendering its a problem, it probably because the file is too big as i use dxtory to record skyrim but this is an expensive product so it should be able to render. I encode the file once ive chosen the format and stuff for the video and it says finish rendering in 50 mins or so and when it gets to like 4% rendering it says not responding. It then troubleshoots but then says 'close program'. this is very frustrating, please can someone help me.
