Preview problems, Premiere CS5 Windows

Hi!
I´ve been using Premiere for 10 years, so I should know it pretty well, but this is my case:
I start Premiere, choose "New project", tried different sequence settings, but the DVCPro HD 25 (PAL) is the most relevant. Inside Premiere, I import a clip, and drag it onto the timeline. So far, everything´s normal. The problems starts when I press the space button for preview. The only thing´s happening is the play symbol changes to a stop symbol in the composition window. No timecode´s running, no moving marker, and only a still image in the composition window. I can jog it frame by frame, and I can move the marker, and everything is fine, but also no playback. The play button in comp window does not make a change.
My next problem is to get this version to work with my Black Magic Decklink Extreme. I have an output signal, but no picture.
My system:
Pentium i7
12GB RAM
Win 7
Anybody?

Thanks, but I´ve found a problem with my Decklink Extreme PCI card. The Premiere preview problem happens only when I´m using any Black Magic presets. Is Decklink Extreme PCI/windows 7/Adobe CS5 a bad combination? I´m not able to get any picture on my monitor from the decklink what so ever (composite/component), but there´s a signal there (black video). Worked fine in XP (with CS3), kind of worked in win7 with my old configuration (4GB RAM, single core AMD-processor), and absolutely no response now.

Norwegian charcters Unicode problem, InDesign CS5, Windows 7 64 bit

Hello
I have a problem with moving files from within an indesign plugin. I try to move an image file to the same folder as the inDesign document.
The problem is that the document folder contains norweigian characters. The folder name is: Boligdrøm_FW. If the folder is renamed to: Boligdrom_FW, it works without a problem.
The customer is using InD CS5, Windows 7, 64 bit. Im using Windows 7, 32 bit system, I can not reproduce the problem.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
Does anyone have a quick solutions?
Best regards

Im using the folowing code to copy the file:
res = MoveFile((LPCWSTR)newFilepath.GrabWString(), (LPCWSTR)documentPath.GrabWString());
Im using this code to get the path to the document:
IDataBase* db = ::GetDataBase(doc);
if (db) {
     const IDFile    *dbSysFile = db->GetSysFile();
      if (dbSysFile) {
          PMString    documentPath("");
          SDKUtilities::GetPathName(*dbSysFile,documentPath);
          IDFile        f(documentPath);
          documentPath.Truncate(f.GetFileName().NumUTF16TextChars());

Not sure if this will help. Look at the PMString translation stuff. ( SetTranslated ).

Preview problems in CS5

When I preview from the tool bar chapter 1 plays, but reverts back to the beginning at the end of the clip rather than moving on to the next chapter. I have created 5 chapters with poster points and they all look and work fine. Chapter one is set up to play first. I've been using PP since ver 1.5, but Encore has been quite challenging. I would really like to hook up with one of you pro's out there by telephone and computer to computer link.

Unable to get any telephone support from Adobe I charged ahead on my own using hit and miss method. There was a glitch in my first Encore file so I started with a new file and the problem went away. I liked the old PP before Encore where you could select templates within a built in library and burn to DVD. Encore is not very friendly.

Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky after resintall of operating system and CS5

PROBLEM: Premiere CS5 - Project Monitor playback is jerky
This had NOT been an issue prior to reinstalling the operating system and all software. I have read numerous articles on the forums and have tried everything I can find...with no results.
STEPS TAKEN TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM:
I have scoured the articles here http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/search/index.cfm?loc=en_us&term=choppy%20video&cat=support&pr oduct=premierepro and others at Cretive Cow
I have installed all updates for CS5 Master Collection, immediately following a fresh install of the operating system and SC5 Master Collection.
I have ensured that sequence settings match resolution and frame rates of footage - the problem persists.
I have tested by importing both standard def AVI files created from tape and high def SONY MP4 files - the problem persists.
I have ensured the latest Video drivers are installed (clean installation selected, so that the Windows default would be removed) - the problem persists.
I have tried the 3D settings in NVIDIA control panel | Program Settings tab... selected Adobe Premiere Pro from the drop down menu | and chaged 'Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration from the value of 'Multiple Display performance' to the value of 'single display performance'; although, I ran two monitors before using this latest NVIDIA video driver and I didn't experience this jerky footage issue - the problem persisted after affecting that change; so, I switched it back.
Since I have 96 GB of RAM, I don't use a pagefile. A zero MB page file is the same setting I had prior to rebuilding the C: Regardless of whether I have a pagefile or not, the problem persists.
I have tried creating a fresh user profile, where the user profile is created on the C: drive by default; and, where I left it there on C: to test for the jerky playback in a new PrPR project - the problem persists.
Regarding the C: (system drive) and why I reinstalled everything, it had become unstable and was locking up. I ran DISK ERROR CHECKING with the FIX parameter and the system was still locking up on me. Keep in mind that the System drive is a solid state drive. Anyhow, I had no choice but to dive in and reinstall everything. I wiped the system partition of the SSD using quick format and started installing the operating system. Now, I've read the CLAIM that this cuases performance issues; but, the only place I see issues is in the video monitor playback in PrPr. Everything else - Office applications...printing...browsing the Internet...works just fine, everything is responsive, whereas, I couldn't do ANYTHING with it before.

I'VE RESOLVED THE PROBLEM!
PREFACE:
OK, I am hoping that through this week-long Operating-System-and-Software-reinatalltion excerise of mine, I have revealed something that everyone -- whom have been cursing Adobe over -- can apply to their systems to resolve this jerky video problem within PremierePro CS5 (and quite possibly other versions, too).
If you've read my post above, you've seen all the steps I've taken to resolve the problem. I've read many posts, some of which have mentioned hardware upgrade / opitmization steps that one may take to enhance performance, and hopefully resolve the problem. I've read where people have taken these steps and have still experienced the problem...and then they curse Adobe. Fer-shame, fer-shame, fer-shame! (nod to Gomer Pyle).
In my case, I knew it wasn't an Adobe issue, as it had worked flawlessly before; and, it wouldn't require a hardware upgrade or reconfigureation, as my system is completely maxed out with two processors, a system drive and a hardware RAID5 array, a CUDA-suported nVIDIA 4800 FX card, and 96 GB of RAM. bla bla bla, puke...whatever. Bottom line is this:
It's not a software issue. It's not and Adobe issue; and Gawd no! It's NOT a PC vs. Mac issue! HA HA. The software had worked swimmingly well prior to the reinstallation / 'lobotomy' I perfomed on the system drive.
SOLUTION FOR ME:
Download and install the updated drivers for the motherboard. Mine is an Intel Workstation Board S5520SC. Intel has an INTEL DRIVER UPDATE UTILITY which automatically scaned my Intel system and identified drivers which needed updating. A very handy, time-saving tool!!! Here's the URL: http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/detect?iid=dc_iduu
The scan revealed two Intel drivers needing an update:
Intel Chipset
Wired Networking
and one non-intel driver:
Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-fi
I downloaded and installed these three drivers, rebooted, and tested PremierePro, and was extatic to find this resolved the problem.
If you have a motherboard from another manufacturer, then you may want to navigate over to their wibsite to locate chipset and other updated drivers for your motherboard.
ROOT CAUSE:
While Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate was able to install certain default drivers during the Operating System installation (keeping in mind that this was done on an Intel Solid State Drive that I formatted using Quick Format) these default chipset drivers apparently weren't current and were ultimately the root cuase of the jerky video playback within PremierePro CS5.

CS5 Windows import problems (ppj, avi)

I have the CS5 Master Collection installed on a Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit laptop. I have some old Premiere 6.5 projects that I wanted to open/import.
When I first tried this, I could open the ppj files and make prproj files from them, either by double-clicking on the ppj file name or by importing the ppj in to a new prproj, but the video files within the ppj didn't import properly. Premiere Pro CS5 said, "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)." These video files are paired avi and wav files captured from mini-DV tape using Premiere 6.5 under Windows XP Pro. A sample check of one of my avi files with GSpot includes these results:
The codec section says (among other stuff)
     codec: dvsd
     Name: DVC/DV Video
     Status: Codec(s) are Installed
The container section says
     File length correct
     DV Type 2 AVI
     OpenDML (AVI v2.0)
     DV Audio/Video: 748 MB (97.63%)
     AVI Overhead: 18.1 MB (2.37%)
When I tried more recently, Premiere CS5 does not include ppj under "All Supported Media" in the import dialogue box. I can open Bridge from Premiere and browse to a ppj file, but when I double-click the file name, I get the error message, "File format not supported." If I try to open the ppj directly rather than import it, instead of trying to run a conversion as it did initially, Premiere CS5 gives me the welcome to Adobe Premiere Pro popup without actually doing anything w/ the ppj. I'm not sure whether a Premiere update ran between the first and more recent attempts to import ppj files, but I now have version 5.0.3.
Does anyone have suggestions for how to make this work?
Thanks.

I had the same problem with an old ppj project.
The option to import was available pbut CS5 would crash when import was invoked.
There was an error message about video filters.
Adobe help line, over the course of an hour, tried to make me believe that this was related to the 64 bit vs 32 bit issues.
Then I pointed out to them that the application was able to read the .avi file and play it if I imported it by itself without trying to import the whole project.
I also mentioned that deleting the previews made no difference.
At the end of the hour, they agreed to look at the project file. This was two weeks ago and this is the last time that I heard from them. When I ftp'ed the file to them they confirmed the following which I also told them; this is a separate problem from the import problem, but it is related to the support of this software. The automatic updates to the program cause Adobe .ppj import options to disappear from the import menu file type list. Again, they confirmed this and I had to unistall the whole package, reinstall Adobe, and not accept any updates.
I have yet to hear from Adobe on this. I suspect this is such a rare need that they feel they don't need to support it, but this being the case I think the doofs ought to take the feature out of the advertising list, or provide a stand alone utility to translate the text .ppj into a .prpj compatible project. It's not very difficult.
The most disturbing thing is that they obviously fail to do a thorough regression test prior to publishing updates. Basic features that are advertised are failing.
THE SOLUTION (for my case)
Of course, the reason I wanted to import the project was because there was aOne of the key reasons to stay with Premiere is that I am used to it and want compatibility, as the others in this post also would like.
Besides Adobe being of no help at all, I have found a workaround. As you all know the ppj file is a text file with headers in [ ] brackets. This file contained some headers which did not appear in .prpj created projects and this was due to some special effects add-ins which were bundled with the video card I installed in the old system.
By removing the special effects using the old version of Premiere installed on a 32 bit system, I was able to import all the clips with the NLE cuts as I intended, and continue from there in CS5.
I hope this is a viable workaround for some.
I do not know if Adobe plans to continue to support the import feature, but they ought to update their docs. It does not work.

Problems updating projects to new versions of Premiere (CS5 to CC and CC to CC 2014) Memory consumption during re-index and Offline MPEG Clips in CC 2014

I have 24GB of RAM in my 64 bit Windows 7 system running on RAID 5 with an i7 CPU.
A while ago I updated from Premiere CS5 to CC and then from Premiere CC to CC 2014. I updated all my then current projects to the new version as well.
Most of the projects contained 1080i 25fps (1080x1440 anamorphic) MPEG clips originally imported (captured from HDV tape) from a Sony HDV camera using Premiere CS5 or CC.
Memory consumption during re-indexing.
When updating projects I experienced frequent crashes going from CS5 to CC and later going from CC to CC 2014. Updating projects caused all clips in the project to be re-indexed. The crashes were due to the re-indexing process causing excessive RAM consumption and I had to re-open each project several times before the re-index would eventually complete successfully. This is despite using the setting to limit the RAM consumed by Premiere to much less than the 24GB RAM in my system.
I checked that clips played; there were no errors generated; no clips showed as Offline.
Some Clips now Offline:Importer CC 2014
Now, after some months editing one project I found some of the MPEG clips have been flagged as "Offline: Importer" and will not relink. The error reported is "An error occurred decompressing video or audio".
The same clips play perfectly well in, for example, Windows Media Player.
I still have the earlier Premiere CC and the project file and the clips that CC 2014 importer rejects are still OK in the Premiere CC version of the project.
It seems that the importer in CC 2014 has a bug that causes it to reject MPEG clips with which earlier versions of Premiere had no problem.
It's not the sort of problem expected with a premium product.
After this experience, I will not be updating premiere mid-project ever again.
How can I get these clips into CC 2014? I can't go back to the version of the project in Premiere CC without losing hours of work/edits in Premiere CC 2014.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

To answer my own question: I could find no answer to this myself and, with there being no replies in this forum, I have resorted to re-capturing the affected HDV tapes from scratch.
Luckily, I still had my HDV camera and the source tapes and had not already used any of the clips that became Offline in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
It seems clear that the MPEG importer in Premiere Pro CC 2014 rejects clips that Premiere Pro CC once accepted. It's a pretty horrible bug that ought to be fixed. Whether Adobe have a workaround or at least know about this issue and are working on it is unknown.
It also seems clear that the clip re-indexing process that occurs when upgrading a project (from CS5 to CC and also from CC to CC 2014) has a bug which causes memory consumption to grow continuously while it runs. I have 24GB RAM in my system and regardless of the amount RAM I allocated to Premiere Pro, it would eventually crash. Fortunately on restarting Premiere Pro and re-loading the project, re-indexing would resume where it left off, and, depending on the size of the project (number of clips to be indexed), after many repeated crashes and restarts re-indexing would eventually complete and the project would be OK after that.
It also seems clear that Adobe support isn't the greatest at recognising and responding when there are technical issues, publishing "known issues" (I could find no Adobe reference to either of these issues) or publishing workarounds. I logged the re-index issue as a bug and had zero response. Surely I am not the only one who has experienced these particular issues?
This is very poor support for what is supposed to be a premium product.
Lesson learned: I won't be upgrading Premiere again mid project after these experiences.

Windows edited/saved project crashing on mac (adobe premiere cs5)

hi there
i really hope you can help.
i have edited video files on adobe premiere cs5 on a windows 7 machine and saved the project ffiles on an external drive formy friend to colour grade and finalise etc
he can open the video files in adobe premiere, but its crashing his mac system and some video files arent opening
he says he has all the latest codec files but it has gone to the extent of the files crashing his system and it won't boot..
my files were a mixture of mpeg and avi files...
is there anything that can be causing this problem.
he is in a different city from me, so i am not going to see him for a while and i want these video files edited as soon as really
thanks and i hope you can suggest thingss that may help finding the problem

Welll you wont be able to if you do not have the computer anymore.
Do a search on EDLs in Premiere (or any NLE) so you know about them for next time.
Whatever...I suspect the issue is at your colleagues end and needs to be sorted there. Someone with a Mac may chime in on how PPRO win project files and PPro Mac project files work.

CS4 Premiere Pro General file format & preview problems

I was redirected here after posting my complaint on Twitter, so please excuse my forum manner.
I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro (CS4) for about a year now, and I've been editing videos along with other packages with no problem. (Only problem being my slow processor). Up until last week Premiere Pro has been completely fine. But seeing I have a project deadline next month, I thought I would spend a day trying to kick-start the video editing.
My source videos were originally photograph-frames animated in Flash CS4 into .MOV, decided to use the H.264 output codec. As I have finished exporting my needed videos, I imported them into Premiere Pro as usual, as I have in the past. But then I encountered the common problem that I have seen quite a few have also encountered with .MOV, or jsut general "no-preview" problem when the source video is fine.
I then took a day to research online about Premiere Pro's compatability with .MOV, among other container and formats. Upon using softwares such as MediaInfo and GSpot, I found that there might have been a problem with missing Codecs within my Adobe package. I then tried to convert the .MOV into .MPG (mpeg2), hoping such standard codec would work with Premiere Pro as they they in the past. No result avail.
I then turned to the uninstall route (retaining user info) and re-installing. The problem has NOT been fixed, what's more is that it crashes almost instantly after I try rendering the workplace. (Even post-rendering does not show the preview, but the files in the Adobe folder, does). Here's a screencap to my latest workplace, if it helps:
[IMG]http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k83/neo0031/AdobePreProcap.jpg[/IMG]
Before the re-install, I believe I was running Premiere Pro CS4's latest update (4.2.x) something, now it is back to 4.0.0. But I don't think that is where the main problem is? I recently changed my locale from a certain language to Japanese to run a certain program. Would that be causing the problem(s)?
Does anyone know a way that I can FIX this? Any help is appreciated and I thank you all in advance.
I am using a Sony Vaio NS series laptop,
a 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core processor
3GB RAM,
intergrated graphics Intel Chipset Family Series 4( I think).
Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit.
I tried moving the Scratch disks from an external portable hard drive to the local hard drive, to no result.
Again, any help is appreciated. I would appreciate direct advice rather than links. Thanks again.
Neo.

I have updated my CS4, Ppro to 4.2.1. The problem still remains. Would it have anything to do with my project setting? I don't have much knowledge to setting one up. The difference between the AVC projects and etc?
EDIT : I took the problem to my lecturer, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but his "magic touch" click on the preview panel (Main composition) has made the video show up! But even after render, it won't play. But scrubbing along frames is now fixed. Any idea what's causing the no-preview-playback?

Did a fresh install of Windows Vista and Premiere CS5 and now Premiere is buggy!

Hi everyone. I was using Premiere Pro CS5 on my quad core system editing AVCHD clips just fine and then I had to do a fresh install of Windows Vista Home Premium. I then did a fresh install of Premiere Pro CS5 on a separate hard drive and opened up one of my AVCHD projects. Now, for some reason, the same AVCHD projects that played fine before are now jittery and also show blocky artifacts. The jitter seems to be a constant jitter every second and the blocky artifacts seem to happen mostly when the subject in the clip is moving. I know the problem isn't in the original clip from my GH-1 camera because if I play the original clip that is on my hard drive, it plays just fine so, it has to be Premiere CS5 that is causing the clips to play all jerky on the timeline. Can someone please help me solve this problem? One more thing, when I reinstalled Premiere CS5, I installed the latest update from Adobe. I didn't have that update installed before when the clips played fine. Could that update be the culprit? Thanks.
My clips were recorded using a Panasonic GH1 HDSLR camera and are 1080/24p (progressive).

Premiere CS5.5 y CS4 andan lento Problem: ¿Hardware o Software?

Buenas, como estan?
Mi problema es el siguiente, tengo la siguiente PC:
AMD Athlon X3
ATI RADEON HD 5770
4 Giga RAM
Mother GIGABYTE 870A
Disco 1 TB partido
SO Windows 7 64 Bits
Instale el Premiere CS5.5, y con desdicha descubri que la visualizacion de los videos andaba los primeros 5 segundos de manera fluida, pero luego se trababa, andaba lento y a los tirones, de manera imposible de editar.
Procedi a desinstalarlo e instalar el CS4, con el cual descubri que los videos practicamente no se movian al reproducirlos.
El sonido siempre anduvo fluido.
El video con el que hice las pruebas es formato Pelicula AVI 720 x 576 25Cps, son 18 minutos en un peso de 711 MB para que se den una idea.
Como dato adicional aclaro que el sistema operativo lo instale yo desde cero, pero que baje Direct X 11, los drivers son todos originales (los que me vinieron con las partes de la PC) y que instale un pauqete de Codecs.
Espero que haya una solucion que no tenga que ver con la placa de video oel procesador, ya que necesito ponerme a editar ya!!
Muchas gracias por escuchar el problema.

Requsitos hardware para Premiere 5.5:
http://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
Respecto al hardware, la CPU utilizada (AMD X3 ?) cumple el mínimo requerido aunque un Intel i5 actual ofrece benchmarks 2 veces más rápidos.
La memoria mínima es de 2GB, Adobe recomienda 4Gb o más, respecto al disco indicas su capacidad pero no el modelo para conocer la velocidad de rotación y el tamaño de cache.
La tarjeta gráfica es adecuadad para juegos y trabajos gráficos, (Photoshop, etc.) pero Adobe recomienda otra clase de tarjetas para edición de video.
Te recomendaría que abras el Administrador de tareas y desde la pestaña de Prestaciones la del Manager de Recursos y veas lo que consume de memoria, etc.
En el lado del software te aconsejaría que contactases al soporte de Adobe. (Gratuito para productos originales)

Bridge CS5 preview problems.

Hello, all.
I am experiencing a problem with CS5 I didn't have before when running CS4. After downloading all CR2 files from my Canon DSLR I am not able to display the previews as sharp as they always were. I can open these images in Photoshop CS5 or even in Apple's own Preview application as sharp as they can be. However, I can't seem to be able to do the same with Bridge.
So far I've tried the following without any success:
1. Preferences > Thumbnails
     - Entered 200000 MB under "Do Not Process Files Larger Than:"
2. Preferences > Cache
     - Checked option "Keep 100% Previews In Cache"
3. On Bridge's Menu (upper control bar), selected:
     - "Always High Quality"
     - "Generate 100% Previews"
After selecting all the options above I've tried purging and then rebuilding the cache but it didn't seem to improve. As I select slideshow display mode to see the images enlarged to full screen size the images once again appear soft and out of focus.
Any ideas as to what might be the problem ?
In case the information is relevant I am using an Apple 30" Cinema Display.
Thanks,
Joe

Smash87,
Thanks for your reply and suggestion.
I have already tried what you suggested but it didn't work at first. I will try it again just to see if it works this time but to be frank I don't expect it will.
Another problem is the fact that I didn't have this issue with CS4 which is the version you are using. The problem appeared once I switched to CS5. The fact that your issue was resolved in CS4 is no guarantee the same will happen to CS5. In fact, it is almost a given it will not considering Adobe's track record with Bridge. Every new version of Bridge brings along with it a new set of problems and challenges. I am really getting tired of it. Now please keep in mind that my collection of images includes a few thousands of folders each containing anywhere between 200 and 1000 images. Adobe shouldn't have to force a customer to have to purge the cache and rebuild all previews when this customer (as it is my case) has thousands of folders and/or images. This is just insane.
They really need to get this application working right. One would imagine that it would have happened by now since they have already had 5 versions of this application to do it plus the file browser application experience before Bridge was formally introduced. So, what is happening Adobe ???
Thanks again for your help and suggestion.

Audition problems with Premiere CS5

Has anyone had problems with Audition 5.5 not functioning with Premiere CS5. I have both programs (but not a part of the Suite). So, Audition CS5 is installed and so is Premiere CS5. After separating a sound channel, I want to pick the Edit with Audition from the drop down but the Edit with Audition is muted; interesting however is the Edit with Soundbooth is highlighted and it works. But I would like to work with Audition instead. Anyone have those sorts of problems?

This built-in functionality works only with Premiere CS5.5, I believe. There may be some registry hacks or something to make it work a little with Premiere CS5.0, but I have a feeling the only way to successfully fly stuff back and forth as intended is to get the upgrade.
Now, if that's actually what you have, and this is happening, then that's a different problem altogether.
