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.

Music wont play more than a few seconds on some songs

Network OK but not a single APP on ATV can play more than 1 second

My ATV 3rd gen (full HD) is at latest update, network is OK (I see movie trailers and all) but ALL applications (Netflix, Vimeo, InternetRadio, PodCasts, etc) cannot play more than a fraction of a second then it takes me back to that APP main screen. I tried rebooting, but to no avail. Since I am at latest software version I don't know what to do but bring it to full factory reset (and then reprogram everything, network, Netflix, HomeShare....). Any suggestions???

Thanks for the quick response, but I assure you the network is not the problem. I can see the posters of the new films (not the trailers, wrong wording). This means that I get info from Internet. But ANY and ALL application cannot play for more than a fraction of a second. As an example, I start a Netflix movie, it starts to play for about 0.5 seconds and then goes back to Netflix previous screen. Same thing happens for ALL application (InternetRadio plays one or two notes then goes back to InternetRadio channels screen). Same thing for Vimeo, Podcast, etc. I'd like to solve it without a full factory reset..... :-(
Thx again.

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.

Ipod won't reset/restore or play more than 10 seconds of songs

help! i just purchased a refurbished 20 gig ipod, it was great for the first two weeks then suddenly last week it started to move very slowly and would only play the first 10 seconds or so of each song. i could hear a clicking sound inside. then the next day it would only go from the apple logo to the folder/! icon. i tried to reset, could not,put it in disc mode and tried to restore but when I attach it to the computer, the computer starts to run realy slowly and if I am able to get the restore screen up it has either said "service error" or "cannot mount ipod". what should i do?
dell Windows XP

See these for the iPod service error.
iPod service error.
Fast user switching in Windows XP is not supported.
For the "cannot mount error", if your iPod is recognized in "my computer", changing the drive letter can sometimes resolve this issue.
Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.

Premiere Pro and Soundbooth won't play video/audio for more than a second.

Ok, so my issue is that Soundbooth won't play audio for more than a second. It plays a quick bit then stops. Premiere Pro also does the same with video, it plays a quick bit then stops. I don't know if it is connected or not but when I try to change the audio output in Soundbooth to System Default I get this error:
I set the permissions to premiere and soundbooth to full but it didn't work. I've tried UnInstalling and ReInstalling but that didn't fix the issues either. All of the other programs seem to work. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Here is the fix.
1. Open Finder and navigate to /YOUR_HD/Library/Preferences
2. Rename or move to the Trash the file: com.apple.audio.AggregateDevices.plist
3. Relaunch The Program

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.

How can i play a movie in keynote from more than 600 seconds between other slides in a automatic loop

How can i play a movie in keynote from more than 600 seconds between other slides in a automatic loop

The maximum duration available for an automatic presentation in Keynote is 600 seconds.
The alternatives are to export a QuickTime video, use other presentation applications, a media server player or digital signage application.

Why won't the preview song play for more than 10 seconds?

Perhaps try resetting your iTunes Store Cache.
Go "Edit > Preferences". In the Advanced tab, click the "Reset cache" button shown in the following screenshot:
... and then click OK.
Restart your iTunes, and head back to the Store. Are you getting full previews now?

Can a QuickTime movie play for more than 60 seconds per page

Can a Quicktime movie be set to play for more than 1 minute per page in Keynote. I have clips that run up to 3 minutes. For now I have pulled the clip into 3 different pages and set the times to match but I get a 10 second delay between the pages that is very distracting.

Yes I am trying to set up an automatic transition after the movie has played. I have still photos between the movies. I want the entire presentation to be self running. I did use the special builds in and out and have the action set at none. The movie clip will not run more than 60 seconds?

I have a MacBook Air and whenever i edit in imovie which is more than 30 second it just doesn't respond.

Hey samwise_lotr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Start the computer in safe mode and see if iMovie opens. If it works you may want to remove unnecessary login items.

Using i3 - keys start to lag (have to hold key for more than 1 second)

I'm using i3 and am having trouble with the keys suddenly and I have to restart the session to get it back to normal. No clue what it could be. I can use gnome, cinnamon, wmii, and awesome without issue, but i3 is what causes me problems.
When I type, I have to hold each key for more than 1 second before it registers. So in order to type "boat" I have to press and hold b for a second, then o for a second or so, same with a and t. Any idea what I should check first?
Thanks.
EDIT:
It just seems to happen randomly. When I'm typing, on the web, playing a game, etc. It's not like it's happening whenever I do a specific task or am running a specific application.

I have a cc membership and need to install premiere pr cc on more than 2 machines

i have a cc membership and need to install premiere pr cc on more than 2 machines, what is the best way to do this?

i take it it's not allowed then, was hoping for a bit more of a helpful answer.
Maybe you can help me with this question...
I installed premiere pro cc on my desktop and my laptop. When i installed it on my laptop it wasn't running properly so i did an uninstall. Now when ever try to install it again it only gives me the option to download premiere pro cs6 and not cc. So at the moment i only have it installed on one machine. Can you advise / help?

Hello. Just got Garageband'11 for my ipad 2. Can´t seem to be able to play more than two notes at once on touch keyboard. Help!

Thank you for your response.
I am trying to sync them both to the same computer (Windows), and with the 2nd ipod, it looks like everything is going to work out fine, until I go to add songs from my itunes music library...then, after a few seconds of me hoping it will work, I get a message that says "Attempting to copy to Lisa's disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
I thought it might have been my ipod. But then I tried to download songs from my sister's computer, and even my work computer (just to see if it would work), and it did. So I'm not sure what is going on here. Is it my computer, or is it the ipod? Or is it itunes?
Also, my sister in-law said her issue is similar, in that her itunes doesn't recognize her ipod now that my brother's ipod has been used on their computer. She gets the same message as I do...thus she is unable to download any songs onto her ipod.
If you have any helpful tips, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
