Premiere pro wont play anything - forgot the workaround.

Premiere Pro cs4 4.1.0
Im on the last days of my trial run, and I once again cant get the timeline to play video; the playhead wont even budge.
This happened before (dont know why it reverted back to not playing)
I just cant remember what setting I tweaked. It was either disabling audio playback, or some related setting.  (I remember cause I was surprised that it affected video being able to be played.)
Can someone throw me a suggestion? I already scoured the forums and the preferences and such. I cant find anything familiar to 'disable'.
Thanks.

Ah, thats interesting.
My solution was Preferences> Audio Hardware> ASIO Settings>  INPUT> and disable my sound card {SoundMax Digital Audio, my only listed device}.
Presto, I can now play clips.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro wont play any video/audio

    Hello! i recently got an Adobe creative cloud membership. and so i have been editing a video. no problems, no lag, nothing, its all been wonderful.
    but i sent the video to SpeedGrade, then exported from there and had an audio sync issue, that i decided to fix by aligning the old video clips audio with the new graded versions video.
    upon importing (old non graded and new greaded versions) the 8 minute files, and double clicking them to view them, they wouldn't play, even after a couple minutes.
    and they wouldn't play in the timeline either.
    so i tried many things, restarting, deleting my preference files, deleting and re-installing the application, using different video files + projects.
    i even tried an old project that i had. no other applications are suffering from this problem. (like after effects or speedgrade, they are 100% fine)
    i also tried different settings, including ones with the mercury playback engine. no luck
    No other forum has helped.
    i have a 21.5 inch Imac, with an intel i5 processor.
    8 gig of RAM. a 500gb HD
    and an AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 MB
    i am running OS X 10.8.2

    it was a video i was working on. i didnt export it to speedgrade though, i used dynamic link (send to speedgrade command) and sent the entire timeline to speedgrade.
    i quite premiere because i didnt need it any more (at that point because i was using speed grade) then i exported out of speedgrade the graded clip and brought that into premiere. and now premiere wont play anything.
    UPDATE: however when i scrub, it plays through the video but i dont hear audio (even though the setting for that is turned on).
    and when i press the space bar (or the play/stop button) over and over after i scrubbed a little bit, it will jump back and forth, so obviously not a hard drive permission/read error.
    and lastly, when i try to change the amount of zoom it has in the viewer (fit, 10$, 100%, 50% etc.) it crops the image and then the applications becomes unresponsive.

  • Premiere Pro wont play more than a second of rendered video

    I've just started a new project in Premiere Pro CS4.
    The project renders fine but as soon as I try to play it back it will only move the play head about 8-10 milliseconds before jumping back to where it started. The weird thing is the video plays fine in bridge as it's just a regular QT file. But as soon as it's in premiere it just wont play for any length of time.  Not sure if it's related but when scrolling along the time line, past where the playhead is located, the timeline will scroll for a bit and then jump back immediately to where the playhead is.
    The video scrubs through with the playhead absolutely fine. The porblem just occurs when trying to play the footage back.
    Any ideas?

    it's just a regular QT file.
    There's really no such thing as a 'regular' Quicktime file, as so many different kinds of video can be held in a Quicktime wrapper, and not all of them are meant to be edited.  Generally speaking, Premiere works best when used with standard camera formats such as DV, DVCPRO HD, HDV, etc.  Other kinds of video are often hit or miss.  The symptoms you describe generally occur when someone tries to use video that was simply not meant for editing.  The recommenced solution is to just not edit that file, but instead only use video you shot yourself using a proper camera format.
    Or, use consumer software that may be more forgiving of the media you feed it.

    Try Reseting the PRAM, It should fix the Problem.
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
        Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Itunes wont play anything, windows 7

    itunes wont play anything.i hit play and it goes to pause but does not count down.im guessing it is because of the update that i did to itunes.please help.

    I am having the same problem and that didn't fix it.
    I purchased a new laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the install file. When I double click the icon nothing happens.
    I Downloaded the install cleanup utility and ran that (nothing with itunes in it).
    I Downgraded the UAC to the lowest security setting.
    I re-downloaded the install file and tried again.
    I deleted all the temp files in the user file folder.
    I made the install file compatible with Windows Vista (SP 2).
    Still nothing. I double click (or right click and run as administrator) and nothing happens.

  • HT1711 ITUNES WONT PLAY ANYTHING ***????

    ITUNES WONT PLAY ANYTHING ***??????? HELP MUSIC WITHDRAWAL ARE I

    Hello choefer_fish,
    It sounds like you have some video files in iTunes that do not play when you select them in the program, but do play when you double click the files themselves. I would start by checking to see that iTunes is accessing the correct iTunes library by checking the Advanced tab of its preferences:
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Click the Advanced pane. iTunes shows the location of your iTunes Media folder.
    From: Where are my iTunes files located?
              http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    If the location here matches the location you go to when you double click the files, then I would next use the Consilidate Library command to see if that gets iTunes to see it:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
    Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
    You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
    Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • HT201401 My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing.

    My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing. I can still hear when i make calls too. The the output button only says dock connector or apple tv.

    If the phone has ever gotten wet it may be damaged. It may also have dirt or a bent pin in the dock connector or the earphone jack. Try cleaning the dock connector and inspecting it with a magnifying glass. Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. If you have restored it and that did not fix the problem damage is the most likely cause.

  • Trouble with Premiere Pro and what to reinstall the program.

    I have a Creative Cloud membership for photographers. Now I´m starting to use Premiere Pro that is installed throught this membership. But when I upload .MOV files to Premiere Pro I get a Error message, that premiere Pro doesn´t support this file? Witch i kind of odd? I know that this is an approved fileformat. Saw on a forum that you might get rid of that problem by installing the program again. How do I do, to reinstall Premiere pro? I can only see that I can install a testversion but I´m not interested in this. Because I already have a membership. I did change one of my disks in my desktop a few week ago, and maybe that´s whats causing this problem.

    Premiere Pro is not part of the photography bundle, so beyond the trial you won't be able to use it. The rest we can't know. You have not provided any system info or otehr details like the source and type of your MOV files and whether you can e.g. import them in Photoshop. MOVs are Quicktiem files, so if you haven't even installed that, this is the first thing to do.

  • There are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline and wont play video in the program monitor.

    After reconnecting some origianl files after a hard drive crashed, there are diagonal stripes on some clips on the timeline that wont play video in the program monitor. They do however play in the source monitor.

    Those stripes are most likely the missing media indicators, which means you've relinked to the wrong clips.
