Problems with playback in monitor

My project plays for a few seconds and then suddenly stops. I have to hit the space bar again to get it to start up again, but it doesn't go for long before it stops again. The same happens whether it's on automatic quality or highest quality. I have rendered the full movie, so that's not the problem.
The project is only 13 minutes long. Is it possible that the .mov file has some wrong settings? I've been having problems capturing video straight into Premiere Pro (problems with audio), so I've had to capture into iMovie, then "share" it with expert settings into a .mov file. However, I may have some of those "expert" settings wrong (since I'm not an expert).
I appreciate any suggestions you might have.

You're the one with the camera.  I suggest some tests - shoot the same few scenes at various bitrates and watch them directly on a properly calibrated HDTV.  This will give you some direct observations about quality differences between bitrates.
My own viewpoint is that there really is no point to any camera using GOP compression.  It's just a bad idea from the start, so if one has issues using such a camera, I see that as "caveat emptor" situation.
I'm not aware of any official announcement from Adobe on the full list of what will be updated/corrected/fixed with 4.1, but my guess (and it is purely a guess) would be no.  I'm inclined to believe this is primarily a horsepower problem.

  • Solutions to "Problem with playback/recording devi...

    I've only had a few microphone/audio problems with a friend on Skype not being able to hear me or vice versa, nothing that couldn't be fixed. Usually the call would at least pick up even if there was no sound going through. But just out of the blue two days ago (Monday, May 4th), when my friend tried to call me, the call dropped without any explanation. I tried also to call, but then every time, it wouldn't even last long enough to ring and it would just drop. It kept having a notification saying "Problem with playback device" or "Problem with recording device". I've tried signing out of Skype, restarting my computer, checking all monitor audio levels, etc... I always keep my Skype up to date, but I checked again for any new in case that would allow the call to go through, but it didn't, even after I updated it to the lastest version 7.4.0.102. I tried calling Skype Testing Service a million times, but still the call won't even stay on long enough for me to read what it says under the microphone and speaker box after clicking on the connection icon; all I have time to see is "can't access sound card". The thing is, I can hear the millisecond of ringing tone, the sound it makes when the call drops, and all other sound Skype makes, so it's not a question of all sounds being on mute, but for some reason it says I have a problem with playback and recording device! Why is that?? I already searched here in the community Q&As for possible solutions to fixing the problem, but double-checking the audio settings under Tools > Options has not changed anything unfortunately. PLEASE HELP!!!

    I've never seen that message.  What exactly did it say?  You're using the native media from the T3i, it hasn't been converted, it's never been inside of Final Cut Pro?

  • I am having a problem with playback in Final Cut 6.0.6

    Hello,
    I am having a problem with playback in Final Cut 6.0.6 of 1920x1080 60p footage.
    I transcoded MTS files shot on a Sony NEX FS100 into Apple Pro Res mov files but the
    playback stutters in Final Cut and QTime making it impossible to edit. Is this because the files
    are just so big the computer is having a problem processing them? If so what should I edit in to preserve the
    best quality?
    I am Running Mac OSX 10.6.8
    2x2.4 Ghz Quad Core Intel
    32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3
    Admittedly my FCUT is out of date, I intend to up to X when I finish off an ongoing project.
    Thanks Luci

    You might consider running diskwarrior on your drive (alsoft.com).  And run diskutility, repair disk.  A corruption of the drive could cause problems.  Also, drive speed starts to fall sharply as the drive gets full.  Make sure you have a minimum of 10% free space on the drive.  You might also get a utility to check the speed of the drive.  I think Aja has one.
    Also, do you have anything else connected to the firewire bus?  If so, try disconnecting it.  You might also try disconnecting ethernet and turning off your airport.  Resetting your fcp preferences couldn't hurt.

  • Problem with Playback device on windows 10

    Just today i downloaded the new Windows 10 update and i like it for the most part. But i went on skype today for a video chat and a pop up came up saying that i have a problem with playback device and i cannot video or voice call. skype worked fine yesterday on windows 8, need solutions ASAP.

    Do minimize the chances of having issues with other audio/video devices: 1.  Uninstall Cyberlink Webcam Splitter.  It my not work properly in Windows 10.2.  Disable Stereo Mix. You can also download and install the latest Realtek Driver suite even if you have the latest/same drivers installed.  The suite can resolve issues. Download and install the latest generic Realtek audio drivers (High Definition Audio Codecs - 64bit Windows 10)http://www.realtek.com/downloads/ I've outlined most of the causes and solutions here:http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/Problem-With-Playback-device/m-p/3356467/highlight/true#M282763 

  • Graphics problems with my second monitor...

    Ever since I updated to Lion, I get some display problems with my second monitor (a Samsung LED XL2370).
    Single windows appear darker and with bad graphics, especially when dragging from the normal monitor to the external one or openign them..
    And after 'waking' my MacBook from sleep today, the background image of the normal display was missing. It was just a grey screen, but perfectly functional. And nothing changed when I checked the display settings and tried changing the background.
    Any ideas??
    A screenshot with both problems in it.. Acrobat Reader was sitting between two monitors, the right display is the external one

    After 10.7.3 i was optimistic apple finally fixed the bug....but it seems that they were not successfull or just didn't care....
    I'm seriusly really sour about the rapidly decreasing quality apple delivers.....thinking more and more about switching back to linux again....

  • Problems with a large monitor?

    In an earlier [post|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8888529#8888529] I mentioned my problems with jerky playback in iMovie 09. After lots of testing, it seems that the problem is related to my 30" monitor. When I start up iMovie on my MacBook Pro without the monitor attached, the playback appears pretty smooth. But with iMovie running on the 30" it is jerky. (Playing the clip in QuickTime is smooth, so it's not an inherent inability of the graphics chip to drive a large monitor quickly).
    Anyone else using a 30" monitor successfully with iMovie? (Mine is an HP3065).

    Two thoughts on this. First, are you connecting using DVI to VGA adapter? If your tv has a dvi input, use that - it's much better. Second, are you editing HD? If so, watching the video from within iMovie is for previewing. A finished Project Exported using Quicktime or Shared to one of the pre-defined output formats will produce a movie that will play back correctly even though it perhaps stutters at times from iMovie.

  • Problems with an external monitor

    I have a laptop with intel 945 grafic card and I also use an external monitor (which has a nicer panel).
    However I experience some strange problems with my setup:
           I usually (when I am at home) start my laptop and close the laptop screen via
    xrandr --output LVDS --off
    But, after a random period of time (I have not found any good reason for it) my external monitor goes in some sort of power save mode (the screen goes black and remains that way).
    I usually activate the other screen (LVDS) and try to see if I can do anything.

    No matter what I do I cannot live reactivate the external monitor.
    (usually I try with the classic :
    xrandr --output VGA --auto
    Inittially I thought it is a problem with the driver (i810) so I upgraded yesterday the whole system.
    Even after I did that and used the new driver (intel) I still had much luck as I had an other blanking event today.
    An other ideea is that this is caused by faulty bios, but it is just a guess
    My present day solution: reboot (yes, full reboot, because restarting the xorg has not the intended effect)
    Any ideas on what may cause this?
    Any help would be appreaciated.

    display goes to sleep when colsed because there is a magnetic switch - small magnet opens the circuit.
    if it stays on, either magnet was misplaced, some wire disconnected or the issue is with the switch circuit.
    on some models switch is part of trackpad, if you have small magnet, try moving it over trackpad, see what it does.

  • Problems with playback of AVCHD

    Hi Everybody,
    Just trying out the Panasonic AG-HMC151E Camcorder and tried importing a couple of files that I shot. I recorded in PH, the highest quality mode and used the AVCHD 1080i25 (50i) preset. I then simply imported my .mts files from the SDHC Card. Playing back on camera or through VLC shows no problems with the files, but when I playback in Source or Program windows, I get some sort of strange dark flickering, especially when panning. When the picture is still it looks crisp and clear. I tried exporting to H264 and there were no problems with the exported material.
    I know that AVCHD can be tough to play with, but I've got a QuadCore and 4GB Ram, can anyone explain to me, what's going on?
    Thanks in advance
    Cheers,
    Jeppe

    Glad that you got it sorted.
    The Quality settings are interesting. For some systems, Highest is the best. For some systems, Automatic is best. Depends on the source footage and the computer. I know that many users worry, when we tell them to try both and see what works best. It would seem that we should be able to say that one will be the best for all circumstances, but we cannot.
    Same for Hardware Acceleration. Our general comments are: if set to min. set to max. If set to max., set to min. If one is better, then increment until the problem returns and then increment up, or down, one "notch." It all depends on one's system.
    Thanks for reporting your success, and drop in any time.

  • Problems with playback through iPod headphones

    I've had an issue when I plug in my supplied iPod headphones that the audio playback is muted and the vocals unclear. I checked the headphones on my Mac and when plugged all the way in...same result. Any suggestions short of returning them?
    PowerBook G4, iPhone   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Thanks for responding.
    Yes I'm using iTunes to rip the CDs.
    I've tried ripping some songs to AAC 256 kbps without VBR, AAC 128 kbps without VBR, MP3 256 kbps with VBR, MP3 256 kbps without VBR and MP3 128 kbps without VBR. Same problem. Songs play fine on computer when played out of iTunes. Put songs on Shuffle and some will play and other will partially play before skipping to the next song.
    The same songs ripped to AAC 256 kbps with VBR played just fine on my first generation 1GB Shuffle. On the new 2GB Shuffle they don't. I wasn't worried when the 2GB Shuffle I bought had a problem I thought it was just a case of one bad apple in the bunch (no pun intended). Now that I've gotten the replacement 2GB Shuffle and it has the same problem I'm left wondering if there's not a problem with them in general.

  • Problems with Playback Device ?

    Im using Skype for desktop and it doesnt make the noises when I receive a message. I tried checking if the noise all together wasn't working and when I tried called the Echo / Sound Test Service it told me there were problems with the playback device. The sound works fine on other apps it's just that it doesn't seem to work on Skype. I went on the sounds tabs in the options menu and I selected the correct device to play the sound with but it still won't work. I am using an ASUS laptop.

    Please,  run the DirectX diagnostics tool.
    Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

  • Problem with playback distortion. Possible latency buffer issue?

    I have noticed a few other posts in the same vain as this but with no clear answers so here is my take on the problem:
    I am experiencing a distorted slowed down playback through logic pro 8 only occasionally which can only be fixed wit a full system restart. It sounds very much like a latency/buffer issue but to be honest I am not too great at fixing this myself. I have tried to change the buffer size to no avail. Recording seems to be fine mostly but it is just on playback. Although today i did experience the same sound issues when recording.
    I am using a brand new macbook 2.4 ghz with a behringer xenix 1622 mixing desk and a usb audio device. I have only just switched to a mac and have recorded before on my pc with the same desk and interface for over 2 years without a problem, so I am positive it is not the external hardware that is at fault.
    I am getting exactly the same problem when I use Garageband.
    Is it just the apple products which do this?
    Is this a common problem with an easy fix?
    I just dont know to be honest with you, i dont pretend to be an expert in the field, it is infuriating.
    Is there a problem with my machine? If so I can change it no problem.
    Please if anyone knows how I can sort this please let me know.
    I am gutted because I bought a mac thinking they were designed for music production, i dont want a pc again!
    Thanks.

    Can you be more specific on your usb device; Make & model... USB2? Visit the manufacturer's website, check compatibility & make sure you've got the latest driver. If you haven't already, run "Software Update" (under the Apple logo in the top left of your screen) & download the updates... this will take a while, so go & get yourself a coffee! Make sure you turn Airport off when you want to use Logic.
    If you're still having prob's check out this link;
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304970
    It's written for Logic 7, but most of it's in the same place.
    Hope this helps.

  • Problem while playback in monitor

    Hi everybody,
    I just installed and updated Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and I'm having such a problem!
    When I import movie clips in my timeline, I just can't see the picture in the principal monitor but I can hear sound.
    I have a AVCHD camcorder (Panasonic AG-HMC70P) and my computer is brand new (Dual core e8400 @ 3Ghz, 4 GB RAM, 500 GB HD and GForce 8555GT 512 MB).
    I also tried to import an old video that I made last year (a simple DV format) and it does the same thing.
    I'm using Premiere CS4.0.1
    Can someone help me please. I really need to make my movie in the next days.
    Thanks for all,
    Bruno

    Sherlock is providing a false error. The error results from these codecs being added in the Windows registry with quote marks around them - the usual for such things is no quote marks. This does not create any functional problem with the codecs. You will see that Sherlock is saying that the file is not found (and it is looking for a name in quotes). Note that the codec list available in GSpot reports the same false error.
    One of the original messages I posted on this is no longer available (in the Encore forum changes), so I am restating the details here. My guess has been that this registry style was introduced in CS3 (it does not occur in CS2), and based on your results appears to still be true in CS4.
    The location of the correct codecs is in the main directory for each program (e.g. PPro CS3, Encore CS3, each has each codec they need in their directory - for me c:\program files\adobe\adobe premiere pro cs3 etc.). I think someone once confirmed my suspicion that adobe is not looking at the Directshow merit ratings for the encoder to use. I really don't know.
    The "DirectShow Filter Utility" lists these codecs out of alphabetical order (due to the quote marks), but correctly indicates that they are installed. Be careful, it allows you to change things!
    http://www.softella.com/dsfm/index.en.htm
    When I reported this about April 2008, I found no references to this in the forums or the adobe support searches, and only one reference elsewhere, so I entered a bug report. Because it does not impair functionality, I do not believe it is classed as a "known issue."

Maybe you are looking for
