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 won't playback

Guys,
I've got a problem with premiere, when i start it, the source monitor is white and it wont playback my project. And after a couple of seconds premiere is not responding anymore and quits. I've tried to close the source monitor but still won't playback...
Starting a new project is not solving te problem.
Reinstalling premiere doesn't either.
Any ideas???

Mehmet,
The "white screen" is a classic result of an obsolete video driver.
Let's get that one out of the way first. What is the make/model of your video card?
What is the number/date of the installed video driver?
Is that the latest driver FROM the mfgr's. Web site, say nVidia, or ATI/AMD? Do not rely on the OS, or any utility to tell you if you have the latest driver - check that out for yourself.
Good luck,

Premiere pro CC drop playback after update 7.2.1

Why premiere pro cc drop playback after update 7.2.1? I have a MacBook Pro late 2011 with ATI Radeon HD6770m 1GB. Premiere pro cc 7.1.0 run normal, ok, without crashing and drop-freeze frame, but after update 7.2.1 i have all this problems.

Just came on here to post about the buzzing transitions, glad to see it's been fixed already!
Another thing though I don't see mentioned, since moving to 7.2 I find audio playblack is out of sync while editing, and in some clips significantly more noticeably than others. This only happens during playback, if I pause and scrub manually, the audio is perfectly in sync. This actually messed up a project for a client. I thought the audio off the camera was out of sync in one segment so I bumped it a few frames before exporting. Didn't check it after of course and sent him the file, then got a reply back that it was out of sync in that spot. Check the exported video and sure enough, he was right. Check it again in project but it looks in sync. So I bump the audio back in the timeline so that it LOOKS out of sync again during playback, but the new exported video is perfectly in sync!
Editing a TV show now with hundreds of clips and it's maddening with some looking fine, some looking a little off, and some looking completely off and having to manually scrub to check and be sure along the way.
Hopefully this is also fixed in this update..will see tomorrow.

Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0: mehrere Videos gleichzeitig Rendern?
Ist es möglich mit Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 mehrere Videos gleichzeitig Renderen zu lassen?
Soweit ich weiß, kann man bei neueren Versionen des Programms die Videos zum Adobe Media Encoder in eine Warteschlange hinzufügen und dann Rendern alle Videos automatisch nacheinander.
Doch ich benötige irgend eine Lösung für Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0.
Für jede Hilfe wäre ich sehr dankbar.

Premiere Pro 2.0 compatable video and audio formats

I am working on a project that uses old vintage newreel clips and such from the 50's and 60's, they are available for download in several different formats.
I have downloaded many of them but when i import them into my timeline, there is no audio for these clips. They work when i just play them out of premiere. What are the supported formats for premiere pro 2 both in video and audio?
I have made several movies but haven't come upon this issue before.

Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, audio channels change to 8 channels when clip dragged onto timeline.

Premiere Pro Timeline with 3 video channels and 4 audio channels, when clip dragged onto timeline audio channels change to 8 channels. Audio track mixer changes too. I edit undo to remove dragged clip and it reverts back to 4 channels of audio on timeline as does the audio mixer? Any ideas as to why the audio channels and mixer changes?

you can check the clip you are dragging to the timeline, if it has 8 tracks... can check by right clicking it in the project bin, choose modify, audio channels.

Premiere Pro CS6 resizes my video. Help!

Hey guys!
I recorded a video with my Canon HD HG20 in 1920x1080 px and wanted to cut it in Adobe Premiere Pro but the whole video lost the margin so that sometimes my head is not on the screen. It's hard to explain thats why Ive taken a screenshot to show it:
(If the screenshots aren't available, just take the links:
http://s14.directupload.net/images/130501/8bcw9gtr.jpg
http://s14.directupload.net/images/130501/amnu6ub8.jpg
I thought that if I would render it it will be fullscreen then so that the preview function is a little bit buggy but the renderoption offered a resolution of 720x576 and I can't change this.
I hope that you can understand my problem and will help me. Thanks in advance.

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.

Premiere Pro won't minimise properly during video capture

If anybody could help me with this it would be much appreciated:
I haven't encountered this problem this before but I have Premiere Pro from the CS3 Master Suite running and the capture window is open, capturing video from a deck. When I minimise Premiere I can normally carry on with other work in Microsoft Excel or other similar software. This only lasts for a few moments before the tab for Premiere on the Start Bar starts flashing and deselects whichever program I am working on so that any keystrokes or keyboard shortcuts I use are applied to Premiere and are halting or otherwise affecting the capture process. I need to know if there are any options in Premiere to prevent it from "re-activating" whilst minimised as it is halting the progress of my work, it is flashing away at me now like an insidious little beacon of hate........I must stop it........

If you are capturing SD, try Scenalyzer Live. I have to use it because Premiere does not capture audio correctly from my camera (one of the few that Sony used an odd audio process on). Scenalyzer captures fine in the background. The trial is free. Check a few files to be sure it is working for you; I have an older system (P4), and no problems with captures.

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 CS5.5 Playback problem (when mtulti tasking) (Mac)

Hi,
I have this very weird problem with preimiere pro CS5.5. I've only experienced this today and I've already restarted my mac a number of times and the problem still persists.
Basically, I start up premiere then work on a project, I can do playback no problem, I scrub through the timeline there is audio working, I press the spacebar, the clips play no problems
HOWEVER as soon as I switch (cmd-tab) to let's say Firefox or just even leave premiere for another window. Playback stops working, pressing spacebar won't do anything also even clicking the play button on premiere won't work. I would need to start premiere all over again. The program doesn't hang but te playback just stops working, when I scrub through the timeline, the video moves but there is no audio.
I hope someone can shed light over my problem thanks.
I have never encountered this problem for over a year ever since working on premiere pro CS5/ CS5.5
I'm on a iMac 21.5 inch late 2010.

I just had a similar issue (Mac OS 10.7.3) Premiere Pro CS 5.5.2 was getting very unstable, seemed like it was very sluggish. When I switched to another app, then back to Premiere, pressing Play or spacebar didn't do anything. However if I waited a long time, like a minute, it came back to live. I'm not sure what is going on with my Premiere Pro these days, but it seems like it's gettings slower for me. One thing I do is to use Cocktail to clean the system caches, the reboot, and it seems this temporarily helps Premiere Pro, but after a time it gets boggy again.
Any advice on what to 'clear' to get PPro in an optimized state? I have a relatively older Mac Pro, 8 core but with 24GB of ram and nVidia 4000. It might be my imagination but it seemed 5.0 and 10.6 was faster and more stable than this, but who knows. Any advice is appreciated.

hey i installed premiere cs5 and updated with the latest update and when i playback footage the program crashes, i've tried safe mode and the program works fine & the video does wonderful and i can edit no problem, but of course there'e no sound so i can't edit like that, any suggestions?
System specs: windows 7 professional 64 bit
processor:         intel(R) core(TM) i7 cpu 860 @ 2.80GHz 2.79 GHz
intalled ram:      8 GB

fault module name:               display.dll
and the list goes on...
if anybody has a fix please let me know thanks

Have you updated your video driver? If not, that could well be the issue. Go to the nVidia, or ATI Web site, and get the latest version for your video card.
Now, something else to consider is that during boot up, something is loading, that is getting in the way. This ARTICLE will give you tips. In Safe Mode, those problem programs and processes are not loaded.
Good luck,

I had to re-install Premiere Pro CS5 and now video are files acting funny...

Hello. I had to reformat my system drive and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and then I did an anytime upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I then re-installed Premiere Pro CS5. Here's the problem. When I open any of my projects that I worked on BEFORE I re-installed Premiere (when I was using Windows 7 Home Premium), the video files on the timeline all look corrupted when I play the timeline now. They have these weird block artifacts and also a constant pulsing thing going on. I deleted all the media cache files and all the media cache database files but, nothing changed even though Premiere conformed every single video file in the project again. Then, I went to "Sequence" and hit "Render Entire Work Area" and after Premiere was finished rendering, I noticed the artifacts and pulsing are completely gone BUT, the video files look like a VHS tape that has been recorded over a few times. The edges of people and things in focus aren't nice and sharp like they were before I re-installed Premiere. I DO NOT have the time or patience to have to delete all the video files and import them again into the project and re-edit the entire scene! Can someone please help me resolve this problem?! I am about done with Premiere!
Is there a way to delete the video source files that are on the left side of the timeline (next to the "Source" window, where they got imported into the project) without deleting the edited video files on the timeline and then re-import the same source video files into the project, kind of like "refreshing" the video files? If this is possible, it seems like this would fix the problem without me having to re-edit everything again.
*Update* My idea of just re-importing the source video clip won't work either. I deleted one of the source video clips, which deleted its reference clip on the timeline, and I re-imported the video source clip to see if it would play all weird in Premiere and sure enough, it has the same exact block artifacts and pulsing effect like all the other source clips in the project. It seems that if that's the case, it might be a codec problem. But, that doesn't make sense because if I open the clip on my hard drive with Windows Media Player or Allplayer, the clips plays perfectly fine and looks like it is supposed to. So, it must be a codec problem in Premiere??? Could it be that Premiere Pro CS5 doesn't work well with Windows 7 Professional? I find that hard to believe. Can someone please help me?
By the way, all the video clips in the project are from my Panasonic GH1 or my Panasonic GH2. They are all 1080p/24 AVCHD. I even made a new sequence within the same project making sure the sequence settings are AVCHD 1080p 24 and still nothing is fixed.

Have you tried exporting a 10 second section of the footage to see if the issue shows up once the seqeunce is actually exported from the timeline. I edit on CS5 with windows 7 pro at work quite often and have no issues so I assure you that isn't the issue. I also edit with AVCHD footage when at home and work quite freqeuntly as well so I'm positive that isn't the issue. It sounds like a GPU driver has been corrupted in the way it interacts with premiere pro. What type of GPU do you have? If it supports MPE's GPU acceleration have you tried turning it off and seeing if that makes any difference?
Anyways though try to export a 10 second test section of your timeline to see if when the clip is exported from premiere it will play normally in windows media player or vlc or w/e media player you want to use. If it exports fine then you can almost be positive it's a corrupted video card driver. If that's the case I'd re-install your GPU's driver and also check your gpu makers website to see if they have a updated driver avaiable.
