Premiere Pro won't play media intermittently in Yosemite

Hello all,
I have a Premiere Pro CC 2014 (2014.1 Release, the latest one) installed on Yosemite 10.10.
It's running on a  Macbook Pro (Early 2011 model) with 16gb of RAM, 512GB SSD, 1TB HDD, AMD Radeon 6750 Card with 1GB of RAM.
On Mavericks 10.9.5 it all ran perfectly.
On Yosemite I have intermittent problem with media playing.
After a restart if I open Premiere Pro and open any of my projects it will say media loaded, however it won't play it. If you hit play nothing happens. The videos won't show either in source window or timeline. Quitting the program results in a hang. I have to force quit the application and than I get an error Premiere Pro encountered a serious error. Upon second program open, the media will work fine and everything will work fine. That's until I turn off the computer or restart it and than it's over again. I have to open the program, force quit it and only than it will work.
I cleared Premiere's preferences, caches, moved media to a different drive, reinstalled Premiere Pro and even clean installed the operating system. The problem persists.
What's interesting is that if I open Premiere after a restart and start a NEW project, import the media and start editing, it will work. When I save it and quit and than open the program again it will show the same problem and I'll have to force quit it after which it will work again.
The only plugin I have is Neat Video 3.6.
This problem is really annoying and I hope someone can help me solve it out.
All best,
Goran

Hi CopyCatFilms,
Shouldn't Adobe be the one updating to account for video card driver changes?  I thought that was the benefit of paying monthly? 
We test all GPUs with current drivers, but new drivers can come out faster than releases of Premiere Pro. Also, we can't update Premiere Pro every time there is a driver update. That would be pretty difficult to pull off. Sorry.
If not, please advise on which NVIDIA graphics driver will actually work with PrPro. Because this is NOT working. Currently running: CUDA Driver Version: 6.5.45
Typically, we recommend that you install the latest drivers for your GPU. It sounds like you have done so. Most people are having best success with these drivers on systems running OS X 10.10.2. Are you updated to that version?
It renders out complete videos with weird pixel bugs across them. 
When did it start behaving this way? After installing the new drivers? After updating OS X? After updating a Premiere Pro project from Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (8.1) to Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 (8.2)? We need more info to assist you: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
Not to mention, it crashes 10 times a day...running back to FCPX.
If you're crashing that many times per day, you should troubleshoot your system with our agents. Contact them M-F 7AM-7PM PST. Ask for the "video queue." You can either chat or get a phone call going: Contact Customer Care
The other possibility is that by updating OS X, you may have changed the read write permissions of crucial Adobe folders. See this article for an explanation and a potential fix:
Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
I also recommend the following steps for Mac users having trouble crashing on Mavericks or Yosemite:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU drivers
Trash preferences
Delete media cache
Delete preview files
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
Let us know if any of these steps worked for you.
Thanks,
Kevin

  • Premiere Pro won't play more than 1 sec of video?

    I've read many articles where the simple solution was to delete a file. The issue is that...
    I can't find the file anywhere: com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist
    tried Admin/users, spotlight, partial or full name. Premiere Pro (CS5) is less than a week old in a brand new iMac. Is there a different solution for the problem? (video playback stops after 1 sec)
    Thank you

    Well - I figured this out for me. The video that was imported into the project was not compatible with the project.
    When-ever you have a problem, try to play with it using different project formats, different video formats and another thing I do is I try to edit the same video on someone else's computer... This is what I think of as isolating the problem.
    For this issue. I exported the "bad" video by using the encoder with my default settings. I then imported the "new" video into the same project and it worked. So, what I thought is that the camera recorded the video in a different format then usual and it did not work with my default project settings.
    I checked the camera and I was correct. So, when the video does not play, but another one does, probably format conflict.

  • MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files.

    Since "upgrading" to Lion my MacBook Pro won't play .mov or .wmv files, all I get is a black screen and the audio.  It's so frustrating!!    
    I've read many other posts all along the same lines and wherever possible I've tried to follow the advice which has been given but nothing works.    I've updated all the drivers I can and I've even reinstalled Lion, nothing makes a difference.   
    I'm not really looking for any more advice, all I want is someone from Apple to read these posts, realise there is problem and get working on a fix or update.   
    I had no problems when running Snow Leopard and it would seem, looking at everyone else's problems, that the common issue is Lion.   Seriously, this is one area where Lion is a backwards step.   It should just work (like most things from Apple), but it doesn't.
    Personally I believe there is a problem with Lion but from what I've found out from speaking to friends with other Apple kit, this might be a random issue only affecting some people as some have said they've had no problems while others have had the same issues as me.    One guy reinstalled Lion and it resolved the issue for him, I've not been as lucky.  
    As I say, I'm not really looking for more advice, simply some sort of update from Apple to fix it.   PLEASE!!!

    This is a peer-to-peer user forum. Perhaps you would see more action if you and others would file a formal "Bug" report with Apple QuickTime technical people rather than repeatedly reporting a possible problematic problem which may or may not affect others on a random basis. QUICKTIME PRODUCT FEEDBACK
    Since you aren't seeking further advice here is what I have observed. Not being a regular WMV file user, I had to create my own sample file to test—a WMV 9 file containing WMV3 compressed video and WMA2 compressed audio. Since I normally use QT 7 as my primary media player, I also stored the WMV data in its partially decompressed form in an MOV file container to avoid pre-playback delays in "classic" player routines and also provide a secondary playback test of MOV wrapped content. These files play as follows using the Flip4Mac component/player support and uncoded URL uploads:
    QT 7.6.6 "Open File" - both files play correctly.
    QT 7.6.6 "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
    QT X.1 "Open File" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file plays video without audio.
    QT X.1 "Open Location" - WMV file appears to open but plays with "black" screen and no audio. MOV file plays video without audio.
    VLC "Open File" - WMV plays correctly. MOV file doesn't open,
    VLC "Open URL" - WMV file plays correctly. MOV file appears to open but nothing plays.
    MPEG Streamclip "Open File" - both files play correctly.
    MPEG Streamclip "Open URL" - both files play correctly.
    GarageBand - WMV file will not import but MOV file does.
    iTunes - WMV file will not import. MOV file container is accepted but as soon as iTuness sees the compression formats, it aborts import.
    Safari - WMV file URL auto-downloads and playes in the QT X.1 Player. The MOV file URL opens and plays in Safari.
    As you can see from these results the files do play but are subject to many different constrints based on old/new video technology support, independent QT subsets and/or container trapping constraints. In short, individual user results will depend on presence/absence of component support, actual compression formats, file container, application being used, and how the application is being used. Unfortunately, most users here can't or won't provide the prerequisite information or a sample file for independent examination. This makes it next to impossible to give advice in these matters or categorize the specific nature of the problem.

  • 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.

  • Premiere 12 won't load media

    Why won't my premiere 12 add some videos from my digital camera but will load other videos from the same camera?

    We have Windows 8.1.  My camera puts out MTS video, but it fails with these as well as MPG video that I convert.  I've always been able to hit add media and highlight several sources and they would load for the project.  Now I'm lucky if one will load. I am adding video files to the project.  I press add media. I choose the files and folder option and then I see my videos listed.  I highlight one and the add media box showing the video loading appears.  At this point about 90 % of the time it seems to freeze and show no progress on getting the clip over.  I have walked away and given it over an hour and yet nothing loads.  I will then hit cancel.  At this time I get a message that it is not responding and the program crashes. So I begin again and try one video file at a time and it will work for a couple and then crash.  I'm caught in a perpetual cycle.  I'm not loading huge videos.  I have been adding two and three second clips.

  • Any issues with Premiere Pro CC and Avid Media Composer on same system?

    Hi all:
    Searched around for this but couldn't find similar question.
    Am a long time Premiere Pro user, but have something coming up where I'm having to use Avid MC to collaborate with a staff editor for the duration of the job.  Am wondering if I should expect any conflicts or issues to installing both Premiere Pro CC and Media Composer on the same system?  Any insight would be most welcome.
    Running Adobe CC on a Windows 7 HP Z820, Dual Xeon Processors, 128Gb RAM.
    Thanks!

    hi Jim,
    well it turns out that Premiere update 7.2.2. put my computer into disarray, and caused my multi-camera monitor to lag (about 6 seconds) behind my program monitor .. so my my multi-cam monitor (with my 2 or 3 camera feeds) would  be playing footage that is 6 seconds or so BEHIND what was playing on the program monitor.
    that's the gist of it..
    anyway the fine folks at Adobe, talked me through the process of going back to premiere 7.2.0 and that fixed the issue.
    i hope future updates resolve this issue so that i can get back up to the minute on my software
    thanks

  • Premiere Pro CS4 and Adobe Media Encoder Problems

    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on a Mac running 10.6, and I consistently encounter this problem when trying to export a Premiere project using Adobe Media Encoder.
    What does this mean? And has anyone else encountered this problem as well? I really need a fix if there is one, because I really need to be using Premiere. I have reinstalled several times, but to no avail. Help me please!

    Jim, thanks for testing.
    My concerns are about a)distribution and general b)compatibility.
    a) When videos are distributed most of the users will probably try to open the files with Windows Media Player. So it is not a good start to have fresh exported h.264 videos which won't run fine with the 'main' player on windows
    b) I am wondering if the Problems with Windows Media Player may also be a sign of a general compatibility issue of the h.264 video itself
    At least in case b) Adobe would have to look into this.
    Here is another test video:

  • Premiere Pro Won't Playback Video

    I am using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 on an iMac OS X 10.9.
    Any video won't playback in the preview tray or the other tray (top right). Nothing will playback. This was working a few weeks ago, but now nothing plays back. What can I do? I have already tried reinstalling Premiere and I even formatted my iMac, but to no avail.
    Also when I press play, the stop button appears, but when I press it, it doesn't go back to the play button. Please, I need Premiere for work, any ideas?

    Are you using external speakers for playback? I have some Genelec's that plug into the computer via firewire, and occasionally I have the same problem you do. To fix it I unplug the speakers from the computer, plug them back into a different firewire port, then restart the computer. You can test if this is the issue by going to Preferences, Audio Hardware, and then selecting either your headphones or internal speakers. If playback works, then try unplugging/replugging your speakers. 
    It's a hacky fix, but it's worked for me (in fact it worked for this afternoon).

  • Premiere Pro CS6 not playing audio on imported MP4 files.

    I am editing a series of MP4 clips shot with a Canon Vixia, and for some reason, Premiere Pro CS6 will not play the audio on a few of the imported files. All of the clips were videotaped with the same camera. I know that there is audio on the clips in question, because it works fine when they are opened in Windows Media Player. I have deleted and reimported the faulty files, to no avail. I noticed in the online discussions that several others have had this problem; but I haven't been ablet o find an online fix thus far. I would greatly appreciate advice on this!

  • Premiere Pro not understood by Media Encoder properly

    When I am in premiere pro I have a PSD layered file that is animated on the time line as a lower third. Everything in the timeline is fine. If I export and encode from premiere pro it encodes fine. However, if I send to queue and encode in adobe media encoder it encodes changing the scale of the psd layers from the image back to the original position of the psd. This seems like the encoder does not understand the latest update in Premiere properly. Anyone have any ideas or a way to resolve this on this end? (Below are two images one is showing the lower third PSD from within premeire, the other is showing what the media encoder is doing to the PSD lower third)
    Thank you for any sugestions.

    Hi MRJay,
    I had a similar issue only when using 3rd party plugin (Creative Impatience) that would go all catywhumpus on Encoder Queue outputs...it would mess with certain images or text that were not necessarily matching the project proportions (e.g. crop them, or ignore 1/2 of my Feathered Crop, etc.)
    The solution was bizarre, and likely source-code default setting based...
    After going to Media-->Export and when in the Encoder interface--before Queueing-- find a section on your timline with the scroll controls where the graphic is, make sure you are in Source Tab (top left), goto Crop Proportions; Use the drop down tab to actually set the Output dimension to what your sequence is (you won't have to actually export with this setting) and then switch to the Output tab. Does it now appear correct? That's it...undo the Crop Prop. and output normally. Hope this helps...
