Rendering and playback issues

Hey guys, I'm sorry if this kind of topic has been discussed before, but I could not find any help with search. I don't really know how to describe my problem. I has After Effects CS4 first and when I first got it, it was giving me the same problem. I came here and got some help and everything worked fine after that, but now I upgraded to CS5 and I'm having problems again and I can't for the life of me remember what I did to fix the problem.
Here is what is going on. I'll uploaded a video that is an mpeg or AVCHD and while trying to preview it in anyway, it will only render some of it and then it will start depleting what has been rendered to render the rest of the clip. It is hard for me to explain. It just won't fully preview a clip as a whole.
Also, when I make a movie or finish a clip, they are coming out incredibly choppy. CS4 worked great on my computer, but I'm guessing I don't have the seeings perfect for CS5. I would go back to CS4, but I use AVCHD now and I'm scared CS4 will start having issues like CS5 is having.
I have a Studio XPS 435MT
Intel Core i7 2.67 ghz
4gb of RAM
ATI Radeon 4800
Do I just have on the wrong settings or something? Because like I said, CS4 was working without a problem for years. It was doing the same thing CS5 is doing now, but something I did fixed it and now I can't remember what it was.

Please state exactly what buttons you are pressing, what icons you are clicking, and what commands you're choosing. It's hard to help you to figure out what's going on when your description of what you're doing and seeing isn't clear.
My guess about your preview issue is that you're expecting either standard preview (spacebar play) or RAM preview to work differently than they do. For explanations of what these preview methods are and how to use them, start on this page and then read the pages that it links to: "FAQ: Why does RAM preview only play part of my composition?"
Regarding the stuttering of movies that you've rendered and exported: My guess is that you've just rendered and exported at the default settings, which create losslessly compressed movies, which are huge and are not intended for playback. (They're intended as intermediate files for additional post-production work.) Such huge files won't play back smoothly on a less powerful computer because the hard disk can't even serve the frames from the disk fast enough. The solution is to render and export using a codec that actually compresses the files significantly. You have to keep in mind the crucial difference between formats intended for playback and formats intended for intermediate files. See this thread for a somewhat more full explanation: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2958839#2958839
I recommend that you start here and work your way through the materials to get a good foundation in After Effects:

Video rendering and playback option greyed out on Premiere Pro CC 2014

I cannot even click on the Video rendering and playback drop down menu as it is greyed out.
I have a GeForce GTX 660 2GB card which should be supported as it has enough memory. I am on Windows 7.
Would really appreciate if someone has a solution how to enable Mercury Playback Engine in this situation.

Managed to fix the problem by downloading and installing the GeForce CUDA drivers as well as updating graphics card firmware.
The Mercury Playback engine enabled itself in premiere after the updates.

I Can Not Change My Video Rendering and Playback Setting...

Normally you should be able to change the "Video rendering and playback" in Project Settings to "Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration", if you're using a some what high-end system... But when I go to the Project Settings, the bar is grey and I can't select anything, all I see is "Mercury Playback Engine Software Only" in grey. I have a HP Pavilion dv8 laptop, with NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M. How can I fix this situation?

Here is a LIST of SUPPORTED VIDEO CARDS. Now, the list might have grown a bit, by now, so I am not sure that this is 100% inclusive today.
Good luck,

CS4 HDV Capture and playback issues

Hey,
I am having trouble with HDV capture and playback on Prem Pro CS4. I tried all the steps mentioned on the article posted by Adobe, http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405478.html
None of these steps have helped anything. I used the cleanup utility, re-installed everything and started from fresh and nothing happens. Capture is always out of sync, it ignores in and out points when batch capturing and playback is all jerky regardless of quality settings. The weird thing is, this only started happening out of the blue. I was using it on a project and it was fine. I hadn't used Prem Pro in a little while and then all these problems began. No change in hardware.
I am using Premiere Pro CS4 on Windows 7 and capturing HDV footage via firewire on a Sony Z7.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

With Win7, if you have not already done so...

Issue with HP Z820 64GB RAM and dual Quadro K4000's and rendering and playback performance

I'm having major issues with performance on my system (running windows 8.1. Premiere CC 7.2.2). My friend in the office here has a Mac Pro (2013) with 6 core cpu and dual D500's and I have dual Xeon 2665's and dual K4000's.
The problem is that he can export twice as fast as me on mercury software and almost 3 times faster on Mercury GPU. He can also add twice as many affects before his system drops frames (using same settings and video file). When I go to GPU-Z my gpu's are hardly working with GPU export selected... with software only my CPU's get to 60% load max whereas his CPU get's to about 84%. Am I missing something? I know the D500's are almost the same as W8000's (and he has two), but dual K4000's shouldn't be that far behind? And how does selecting cpu exporting get him an export time of 6 minutes compared to my 15 minutes when I have a 32 threads to work with??
Am I doing something wrong? Have I got a setting somewhere that is causing this that I might have missed? Are dual D500's really THAT much better than dual K4000's? AND HOW is my 7k+ machine that much worse than his £3200 mac?
Please help. I'm losing my mind here!
Thanks
Edit - Would just like to add that the video files we are using are pro res 422 and that I have the latest bios and latest nvidia performance drivers

That HP Z820 should kick the Mac pros butt! For example we run Autodesk Flame systems ( 150k software) on the Z820's with Quadro 6000 cards and they fly. We also had a new mac pro in for testing a few months ago w the dual fire pro cards all decked out and it was crap next the the Z820. Of cource the new MP cant run allot of highend software because of its lack of nvidia support and the firepros lack of open GL but we did run premier and smoke etc on it for testing. ( Although i thought it looked cool the total lack of exandability and nvida support was to much so we sent it back). Graphic workstations need PCIe expandability and a choice in GPs.
Anyhow here are a few observations:
-Software being used will dertermine the hardware purchased,
-The dual xeons at the much lower clock speed are meant to work 24/7 like a lamans endurance race, not a sprint race. Better to get highest frequency xeons.
-Having dual CPUs with all thoughs cores will only work with a software that is properly mulithreaded, premier is definetly not one of those softwares so you not getting any advantage.
- the advantage to Quadro cards are much more noticable in 3d tha 2d. If your running Autodesk maya, 3ds max or the recently disscontinued XSI you would be flying compared to the W7000.
-dual GPU cards do not preform at twice the speed. On average the second card gives about a 10 percent boost.
-At present ( and as akways) , nividia Quadro drivers are much more uptodate and bug free compared to ATI highend cards. This will inevitably change as openCL over takes openGL, until then Quadros are the clearly superior cards for those with DEEP pockets.
-I think you would have been far better off with a single Quadro 6000 vs dual K4000s. Also any higher end ATI firepro card would have worked since Premier now uses open CL and no longer needs openGL. Main advantage to Quadro at this point ( besides 3D ) is to be compatible with the most softwares and get the best and most optimized drivers. Firepros will work properly in far fewer softwares at this point but I can see a day over the next few years this may change but not as of yet in 2014. So his W7000 wins this sprint race in this single simple example but in most any other situations your cards will actually work and win. I like saving money like the next guy but I even purchase Quadro cards for my home use and experimenting, but Im not a gamer.
-FYI: Cuda core count no longer is true measure. For example older Fermi cards worked at twice the frequency than the newer kepler architecture so in effect today you need double ( actually more) the amount of cuda cores to equal the older cards. Also the true compute power in the new Keplers is also much inferior to the older cards. Its all creative advertiseing today more akin to creative accounting / smoke and mirrors. What im trying to explain is when people read the charts that show the cuda core count and say the higest is best is completely not true. It may have the most "cores" but it will not render correctly, double percision is missing, colors may pop, anti aliasing is inferior and inconsistant, interaction ( most important) and shaders will be buggy or missing. There are very good reasons people spend money on highend Quadro cards but the charts and reviews generically speaking never understand or can even test for this stuff.
-Even given the above scenarios your Z820 should be killing your competition. Using a decked out Z820 is way overkill for anything CC. ( Kinda like driving an F1 to get groceries.) get your HP rep to come over and replace / test your rig. Its free and covered in your coverage.
I am CLEARLY not a tech guy as my talent in is creation and design but I overhear the tech guys talking.

JUST PROBLEMS rendering and quality issues

Hey, all.
I've been posting here a few months and recently got a mac and fcp. I've been editing for over ten years on velocity and avid. Had great luck at figuring stuff out with manuals and the threads and freinds. But I'm at a total loss trying to figure out how to squeeze a decent title out of FCP. I've gone through the manuals, checked the settings, tried many workarounds and options, and I still get the jagged, shimmery text, especially on moves. I'm not doing anything special -- just a lame title. These titles look amatuerish -- quite frankly the kind of work I thought the amatuers were doing on FCP all the years I avoided it along with premeire -- wedding video crap systems. Okay, fcp and premeire have come a long way. AND I WANT TO LOVE THIS THING! BUT man, why is it so crazy just to get a right combo of settings to churn out a stupid title? Rendering makes things look worse. I've done everything! If someone is in Orange County/Anaheim and can drop by, I'll pay you! Seriously, this is terrible.
It seems like anybody struggling with this jagged title stuff on these posts never really solves anyting except for getting slightly better results and just plainly settling for less. I know I must be doing something wrong, but what???
Sorry about the rant. call me 714 280-8201

Thanks for responding: Right now I'm using after effects. It's a little better. Ever since I've started on a mac I've had this issue. Yes, PC background.
Anyway, I've tried many approaches, Titler, motion, png alpha files with motion moves, boris titler -- all with low quality results. Everything is played back on a monitor, one via component, the other via sdi.
my timeline is dvcpro50, all the settings I know about are set to best. Fields set to none. I forgot all the other stuff I looked at, checked and tried. I think there's a fundamental thing I don't understand about rendering. The sequence rendering drop down menu has about 30 options, that are just foreign to me. I better spend more time with the manual. But I'm selecting render all with all the options checked for rendering. I get a grey bar over the timeline suggesting to me that everything is rendered. It's got to be user error combined with a really convolutive way to set up projects and workflow by fcp.
thanks, chase

Adobe after fx cc 2014 sound and playback issue

When I rendered my first scene in adobe after fx cc 2014 I noticed I had no sound, and the video was playing frame by frame not full speed.
What did I do wrong?
Big D.

You probably used the default Lossless preset in the Output Module. You should probably type rendering in the search help field at the top right corner of AE and study up on the options.

Casio Exilim EX-S600 digital camera import and playback issues

When importing the mpeg4 video (.AVI files) from my Casio Exilim EX-S600 digital camera with plug in version 1.1 and iMovie HD 6.0.1 I consistently get an unknown error. I use the HQ setting on the camera. Quicktime will play the movies though sometimes they stutter, if you pause, and then resume it seems to playback better. Strange to say the least. Any tips on how I can edit these clips? And get better playback performance in Quicktime? Thanks in advance!

Rendering and Reconnecting issues

Hi, I updated my FCP in the weekend to 6.0.6.
Since then I'm unable to render on my timeline. I click Render all & the usual process happens, the timeline changes colour that tells me its rendered... then as soon as I click on the time line it all goes back to the Red unrendered lines?? Even if I save first before clicking on the time line it reverts to unrendered as soon as I click in the timeline.
Also, my footage is in the timeline but its telling me it needs to be reconnected?
Any ideas as I'd appreciate this having a deadline to reach by the end of the week.
Thanks in advance

Hi Jim,
No I've only just gone into Ken Stones website and followed these instructions http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/render_file_problemstaylor.html All seems to be good now, for some reason my render files were being saved in a different folder.
It was strange as I had been working on this project with no hassles up until the upgrade.
very very please it is fixed in the nick of time!

Using Variable Bit Rate Encoding (VBR) and playback issues

I have been using VBR when making mp3 for download to "Soundclick.com" in the past, resently, I started to hear complaints from listeners, that my mp3 were garbled, although it is not consistent so, it is true, and I came to believe it was because of VBR. I re-encoded the files in question, and so far the problem has gone away.
The question is this due to OSX 10.5.6, or might it be something with soundclick, I don't know; but it did seem to become evident after loading the OSX 10.5.6 update. I can't find a way to correspond with Apple Development, so I thought to post here. I am also going to pursue this with "Soundclick.com"; VBR seems to be an efficient way to encode, and I would like to keep using it.
If anyone know about this it would be cool to hear for you!
God Bless,

Is the problem inherently answered in your question?
Why use VBR when you bounce? It's a compromise solution, and has it's own problems. What are soundclicks tech specs? Work to those, getting the file as big as you can, it takes moments to bounce multiple files of varying bit depth etc to see how far you can stretch things before you're over-budget on the file size.

ITunes 10.5.3 has import and playback issues

I cannot add some MP3 to my library using iTunes 10.5.3 software version, but can using earlier software versions. Also some tunes already in my iTunes libabry no longer play in 10.5.3. This seems to be related to some tag information that does not carry across into 10.5.3 because the tunes in my library that dont play do not have the cover artwork as the icon but just the quaver icon. This is annoying! Please someone fix!

I am having same problem. I want to to take a music video from the Movies Library and export it into the Music Video Playlist at bottom of sidebar. The only thing I can do is to create another playlist. Why cant I put them directly into the Music Video Playlist provided by Apple? I also tried exporting from desk top and directly import into the Music Video Playlist but it will not allow this, so I am forced to import everything into one of the Itunes Libraries located at the top of Sidebar. [Macbook pro 17'', Lion].

Rendering and Artifacting problems on Mac OS

I am currently deveolping a game and after recently installing Flash Player 11 I have been getting rendering and artifacting issues along with mouse over states of the stage not being recongnized. The swf works fine in the flash preview of Flash CS5 and on a windows machine. The issue only shows up on Mac OS. The problem occurs in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. This is also occuring on others Macs in the office as well. Link to the game http://bs-dezign.com/2011_Cyclones.swf. The viewing area is down the center of the stage aligning with hud.

Premiere Pro CC - Playback issues, rendering and export

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 7.2.2

Hello all -
I am trying to edit, render, and export a video for play on YouTube. The source is a Camtasia Studio 8 Screen capture with a 1080P High Defintion PTZ camera that is hooked up to the computer as the "webcam". We recorded the screen, used Camtasia to produce and edit, and saved it as a .MOV
I then transferred the .MOV to my computer and opened Premiere Pro CC. I have been watching a lot of YouTube videos and have a read a lot of threads, so I decided that a simple edit job would be the easiest and fastest. I have attempted this 3 times now, each try has been a failure.
Attempt 1:
Opened a new project. Imported my video. Dropped it into a sequence. Added an opening and closing title card, plus lower third captions to video, and added transitions. Playback was choppy, so I read that it needed to be rendered. I rendered the sequence (it took most of the evening). When I went to play it back, I just got footage that said "Media pending" in 7 different languages.
Attempt 2: I decided not to render, just export. Followed the steps above, but instead of rendering, and exported it. I exported as media file, chose the TechSmith Capture Codec, and .AVI as the format. Let it do it's thing. The result was very fuzzy, plus the audio was about 10 seconds out of sync from the video.
Attempt 3: I didn't get very far here, because when I started playback to check my audio syncing, my computer started flipping between Premiere and my desktop, just swtiching back and forth.
Any help here, suggestions, would be very much appreciated. I need to post this video for work as soon as I can.

Rendering & Playback issues + can't hear audio when editing videoclip

Hi,
I have two issues.
#1: While editing my video, is there a way I can see the video and hear the sound at the same time? I've been trying to edit a video with no sound... very difficult to place a background for example at a specific time when I can't hear my voice, I can only see the video.
#2: After rendering, when playback in Quicktime for exemple, I can hear the sound but no video is playing. Why is that?
Thanks
