Program monitor blank on composite video.

2 x 2.26 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon
16GB DDr3
2011 Mac Pro
Decklink Studio 4k running video and audio output to external monitor and receiver
Nvidia 5770
Nvidia Quadro 4000
The program monitor is blank. I've got audio metering. I can get scopes to register signal, but on composite video nothing comes through. The video and audio signal are making out through my deckling card onto an external monitor and speakers but the program monitor is just blank.
I've tried restarting the computer and Premiere. Checked updates to Cuda drivers. running 6.1.18
Installed older version 6.5.14 but the problem persists.
Tried creating a new project.
Tried different video setting for the sequence but everything behaves the same way.
I can't get video playback in my UI monitor for either source or sequence video.
Please help.

Contacted support via chat. It was that the renderer was set to OpenCL rather than Cuda. To access this go into "file/project settings/general" At the top of that is the renderer. If it's not on Cuda and you have Cuda, then you will not have playback. Problem solved. I feel dumb, but there's the answer if anyone else needs it.

  • Source Monitor and Program Monitor not playing back video

    The last time I used Premiere Pro CC was Oct 8 and the program worked fine. As of today, I reopened the project file and the source and program monitors are displaying nothing respectively. However, the audio playback for both are unaffected. I've tried making a completely new project with different video and I get the same error. I've restarted Premiere, restarted the computer, and reinstalled Premiere. No help. :/

    Hi,
    Please go to File > Project Settings > General and change the video renderer to GPU Acceleration software only and see if that helps.

  • Windows Premier pro CS5 Program monitor freezes/hangs when video on sequence bar is playing

    Hi all,
    I have been experiencing program monitor freezes/hang while the audio and the video on sequence bar is still playing. This happens on both HD and SD projects. I have tried many ways but at time it works but at times does not work. i have updated CS5 to 5.02, updated the driver and also quicktime.
    Hope someone can help me on this ! Appreciate it.!
    This is a complete new system.
    The specification as follows: INTEL(R) CORE(TM) i7CPU950@ 3.07GHz 3.56GHz
    installed 12.0GB RAM
    System at 64bit
    Display driver using NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470.

    Hi Dennis,
    Thanks for the reply. I have updated the graphics driver on Nvidia website as well.It still does not work.
    Under project settings: Video rendering and playback, i have both mercury playback engine GPU accelerator and mercury playback engine softway only. it is currently set as mercury playback engine GPU accelerator.
    Thanks in advance

  • Program Monitor is Black, no video playback after installing new graphics card

    I bought a PNY Nvidia Quadro 2000 graphics card a few days ago, and since it's been installed, I've been unable to watch video playback in my program, source or even reference monitor.
    Similarly, If I designate one of my monitors soley for video playback, the screen is just black, and as the timecode advances on my timeline I only hear sound.
    My project is using "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration" for Premiere Pro CS6.0.1
    I went from using one graphics card to using two graphics cards, and installed a third monitor. I've spent the last few days trying everything I could think of, I even uninstalled and re-installed premiere.
    Hardware Specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate (64-bit)
    HP Pavilion h8-1230z
    AMD-FX8150 3.59Ghz 8 core processesor
    16GB RAM
    600W PS
    EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 550Ti
    PNY Nvidia Quadro 2000
    I am using a PCI x16 for the Quadro 2000
    I am using a PCI x1 slot w/x1-x16 adapter for the 550Ti
    Could this be the problem?
    Additional Information
    Vectorscope, All scopes, YC Waveform - Display modes all work.
    I downloaded the most recent Nvidia drivers for both of my cards.
    I haven't received any error messages or had any problems in After Effects CS6, as video playback is working properly in my other adobe applications.

    I am still building a new system, so currently I'm still using a 480. You can read all about my choices and progress here: Adobe Forums: Planning / building a new system. Part 1
    There are 11 entries in the Benchmark Results that succesfully use the GTX 680, even though it is not 'supported'. They all use the 'hack'. However, the 680 has been added to the list of supported cards for AE, so it is only a matter of time before the 680 will be added to the list of supported cards for PR. Todd had made that clear. Now, when the 680 is added, it makes sense that the 670 will also be added. My guess is that both will be added in a short while.

  • More than one program monitor

    The program monitor shows the topmost video in the sequence. Videos that are stacked beneath it is not shown if you don't disable the top video track. So I would like to have an option to turn on another program monitor that would always show a video track of my choice. Actually, two extra program monitors would be even better.
    I'm using a workaround - I have enabled a multicam monitor and set it to show a particular video track. It is helpful, but I can't play it in real time, it will only play by scrubbing, otherwise it is stuck on a frame and then shows the last frame when playback is stopped.
    This would be an alternative to multicam editing, not having to edit in real-time, but having ability to see all the active video tracks.
    I don't think this it's possible, but I wanted to make sure that there isn't a way to enable more than one program monitor? I'm using CS5.5

    I haven't got it right... I did a test with three tracks, one nested sequence per track. I enable multicam for each one...and I only get picture from one track in the multicam.
    If I make one nested sequence out of the main one (with all the video tracks) , I can see the tracks appear in the multicam - but I can't do any editing on the timeline, since it's only one track.
    There's no gang option for the source monitor , but for the reference monitor. The reference shows the same picture as the program monitor.
    Thanks anyway.

  • Why does my video clip show in the program monitor only when it is playing (the program monitor is blank otherwise)?

    I am using WIndows 7 64 bit, and the most recent version of Premiere Pro CC on an I7 machine with 8GB of memory.  I have imported a HD .mov clip and placed it on the timeline.  When I press 'Play', it shows in the Program Monitor window.  When I stop the playing, the window goes blank.  I have rendered the clip (it has a yellow bar above it).  Even after rendering, the yellow bar remains and the sequence only displays when it is playing.  The source monitor has the same behavior. 
    Not being able to see where I am in a clip is making editing very difficult.  I have used Premiere Elements for five years, I have taken the Lynda.com course, so I have some familiarity with the program that suggests that the frame at the point of the CTI should show in the program and source monitors.
    What do I need to do to be able to see the frame in the monitors when it isn't playing?
    Update:  I spent 35 minutes with Tushar in a technical support chat (case number: 0186148124), during which time we deleted the contents of the Media cache folder in C:/Users/Your User Account/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Common file (after using task manager to close coresync32.exe and creativecloud32.exe) and renamed both the Adobe folder and the 8.0 folder in Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro/8.0.  This didn't get it, but was necessary for the next step:
    Going to the File menu, Project Settings, and selecting 'General Settings', Tushar had me change the Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only (I don't have a GPU accelerator video card yet).  I received a warning that all previews would be deleted, which I accepted.  That brought the image back to the Program Monitor.
    I've posted this for anyone who may experience a similar challenge in the future.  Despite a lot of Google searching before I contacted Tech Support, I didn't find anything even close to the description of the problem.  I hope this provides that source for future searchers.
    Jeff

    Thanks, Ann.  As I mentioned in my post, Tushar correctly pointed out that, without a GPU accelerated card (which I don't have - mine is a piece of junk which I will be replacing with a compatible one soon) you must use the software only settings.  I had changed my project over to the 'software only' setting, and I still had the problem.  The value Tushar added was the procedure for clearing the cache.
    What I did originally was a newbie error, no argument.  I posted it here for others who may fall in the same hole.  Your reply confirms that, without a GPU accelerated card, use the software only settings (sounds so obvious, yet I missed it.....).

  • Premiere Pro 5.5 program monitor goes blank, please help!

    I started a super simple brand new project in Premiere Pro 5.5, importing only simple, small resolution png files (to create an animation), and my program monitor goes completely blank.  This started happening right when I updated the driver for my video card. I run a Windows 7 64-bit machine, with NVidia Quadro 2000, driver updated (333.11), source footage is png files, my OS is up to date, I use just a single monitor, there are no error messages at all, when I try to scrub, my program monitor stops working (it shows a still image), then suddenly it goes completely black!  I have no third party effects, plug-ins or hardware installed. And yes, my Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is good.  I am completely stumped since the project is barely started. Does anyone have any ideas?!

  • Source and program monitors in Premiere are Pure Grey, no video, no frame for video

    I can load a clip into the source monitor; it has the name on top ("Source: [clipname.MOV"], but there's no video there, not even a frame where video would go.  Let me be clear: this is not a black video frame situation.  The Source monitor is the gray background color edge to edge.  If I play the clip, the position indicator moves and I hear  sound.
    The same situation for the program monitor.  Timeline is open, video and audio are there -- and the V1 track is enabled.  Play it and there's sound, the position indicator in the timeline and the program monitor track perfectly, but all there is in the program monitor is the grey background color edge to edge. The timeline that's open holds a amall edited piece that used to show up quite fine in the Program monitor.
    When I go into the setting of the source and program monitors, I see that "composite video" is selected...
    Ah, now the plot thickens.  If I choose something else, let's say "Vectorscope", when I select "Composite Video" again, it STAYS as a Vecotorscope.  In the dropdown Composite Video is checked (dotted, really), but the Vectorscope remains.  It's almost as if the video is not redrawing itself.
    I would think there's some easy solution to this, that this must be a newbie kind of problem, and perhaps I am not phrasing the question right when I search the forums or google the problem, but I've been unable to find the answer on my own, so I appreciate the help in advance.

  • Source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half

    I have adobe premiere pro cs6 and source monitor and program monitor boxes will not display video in full only half.  So the top half of both monitors are black and the bottom half is where the video displays.  But you can see that the video is missing the top part.  Like people's heads are cut off and can only see body.  How can i fix this so premiere pro cs6 will use the full monitors boxes to display my video?

  • 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.

  • PPro CS4: Problem with program monitor widescreen video

    Hi Guys
    I shot my video in 16:9 aspect ration. I created a new project with "widescreen 48KHz DV-PAL" in PPro and I was ready to go.
    I imported the video in avi format and all was OK. Now, I opened my first avi video file from the project panel in the source monitor: the video aspect ratio was still OK.
    Now, I dragged the video from the source monitor to the sequence and the video aspect ratio was OK in the program (as far a I remember), i.e. the video in the source monitor was the same as in the program monitor. I then inserted a short mpg video in the project panel > source monitor > sequence. Then I realised the mpg aspect ratio was not the same as my avi video asoect ratio, so I decided to take out the mpg file from the whole project altogether.
    Now I'm left with a problem: the video aspect ratio in the program monitor is stuffed up... Instead of having black bars only above and below the video as in the source monitor, I now have extra black bars on the left and right of the video!
    If I already did some editing for an hour or so & realised this problem then, it would have been worse. I'm happy that I picked it up in the first 5 monutes of editing.
    I have attached a screen print of this problem - please help me guys on how fix the video in the program monitor.
    Many thanks in advance.
    Walter

    Thanks Harm & Jim
    Hmmm... so this means that the camcoders (I shot using a camcoder) cannot shoot in REAL 16:9? Even if I change the aspect ratio on my camera to be 16:9, the actual shooting is in fact 4:3. This is interesting...
    Just a matter of interest, what sort of video cameras can shoot in real 16:9?
    OK, I created a new project in standard 4:3 DV-PAL preset and imported my old PPro project file and the video in the program monitor much, much better.
    You know that's what I love about PPro: one can import a PPro project into another PPro project!
    Also, that's what I love these Adobe forums - you guys are really helpful. I wish the Ruby on Rails forums were this good as well. Anyway, thanks to all you guys!

  • No Video Showing in Program Monitor

    I've just recently ran into a strange bug where no video shows up in the program monitor of my Premiere CC (latest version) when scrubbing through the timeline. Hitting play/space bar also does nothing; no time code rolls, the scrubber doesn't move, nothing at all. Here's a screen recording of what I'm seeing.
    I've tried deleting prefs, cleaning caches, deleting caches completely, and I've even tried the awesome tools over at Digital Rebellion to see if that would help get things working – nothing helps. Just as an fyi: when opening the same project from the same drive on a different machine, the same stuff happens – so I've at least narrowed it down to something inside the project file. (??)
    Also, when I try and save the project to quit out of Premiere to attempt more troubleshooting, Premiere CC hangs, and I end up having to force quit the application. After doing that, I see a strangely named project file pop up next to my original project file.
    Does anyone have any other ideas on how to troubleshoot and/or fix this? I've searched these forums, google, etc. but haven't been able to find anyone with a similar problem. Thanks in advance!

    Yes quite odd indeed. Those were some great bits of advice. I tried creating a new project and importing the problematic sequence. I ended up having to do it twice because the first time it didn't really work, but the second time everything imported correctly, and I now have video in the program monitor.
    Not sure what happened, something to that other project file apparently, but now it's fixed and I believe it was thanks to just creating the new project and importing the old sequence into the new one.
    Thanks for your help!

  • Source and Program monitors are blank

    I am editing in cs5 PP and it was fine up until yesterday when my monitors stopped displaying my footage. Im using it on a BRAND NEW asus laptop so I'm not sure what the issue is or why all of a sudden it decided not to work. I restarting my PC, reinstalled cs5 and its still the same thing. I'm working on a i7 core, 8gb ram with a nvidia geforece card, so I'm lost. Any ideas?
    Also when i double click in the program monitor the frame of the clip on the timeline will show up but i won't scrub in real time; the audio will still play on both monitors, just not the video. I have quicktime installed also. Im not having this issue on my desktop either.
    Thanks!

    Wow, I did that and it went back to normal! but why would installing quicktime make it do that? i installed it in the first place because after effects wasn't working properly without it, ugh. Thanks for your help.
