Slow playback Video & Audio - Premiere CS6

Mac Pro - 8Core
24 GBs RAM
Dual Monitors
Dual ATI Radeon HD 5770 Video Cards
Premiere Pro was editing and playing back perfectly. Dedicated 20GBs of RAM to the app.
All of sudden one day it started playing everything back at what seems like 80-90% speed.
I tried dropping the resolution in the playback window, no luck.
Any ideas as the why all of sudden this would start happening, and even better, a fix?
Thanks
Dan

its probably the audio book speed that is set on the ipod. go to settings, audiobook speed (or something like that). then set it to normal. if it is already at normal, try setting it to fast.

  • I am trying to get better playback rendering speed Premiere CS6

    I am new to Adobe Premiere CS6.  I am trying to get faster playback rendering speed from my machine.
    Windows 7
    i7 4790K Haswell overclocked to 4.5 (watercooled with Corsair)
    16 GB DDR3@799MHz
    Asus Z87-WS (4 double graphic card slots)
    Geforce GTX 760 (Primary)  GPU hardware acceleration enabled
    Quadro FX5800
    250GB Samsung solid state C: (Windows and Adobe)
    250GB Crucial solid state (Scratch)
    2TB Seagate 7200RPM (video files)
    3TB Seagate 7200RPM (storage)
    Seasonic 1000watt PSU
    I am primarily editing GoPro videos with effects like TimeWarp or Twixtor and color correction.
    I have tried to run the PPBM6 program with no success. I kept getting failure to access files.
    I have been looking at adding a second GTX760 with SLI so they will work together.  And possible removing the Quadro if it is slowing things down.
    Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks!

    ...are you SURE your 760 GPU is "enabled" by PPro, and giving you the option of "Mercury Playback Acceleration" under  "General Preferences" ??? If the "Mercury Acceleration" is GREYED OUT and limits you to "software Only", go to Studio 1 website and learn to apply the well known "hack" to enable your 760 in PPro,OR, download their simple program to do it for you.
    ...Your machine is POWERFUL....especially with your CPU overclock......you MAY want to increase your memory to 32 GB if you are using After Effects....even PPro MAY run better with 32 GB, depending on your workflow.....most systems like yours have at LEAST 32GB system memory.
    .....The GoPro codec is natively HIGHLY COMPRESSED and difficult to process, even for beefy machines. That is why they provide the free Cineform tool,( which used to be an expensive professional editing codec), to convert some,or,all of your footage to a more "edit friendly" AVI codec, which will FLY on your machine. HOWEVER, those new AVI files are HUGE.....TRIPLE the original size and requiring a LARGE and FAST disk transfer system. Right now, your single 7200 drive for your media is your SLOWEST component in the chain. The CHEAPEST improvement for you would be to add another MATCHING 2TB 7,200 rpm drive to your existing one and then use the 2 drives to create a fast RAID 0 directly off the mother board to improve the speed of your "media drive". THEN, you MUST insure that this RAID 0 is DILIGENTLY BACKED UP in case of a drive failure in the RAID. This ALSO means you must protect against an unexpected power failure which could destroy the RAID data if the failure happened during a critical write operation.....so,a good UPS is required.
    You can OBSERVE how the various components in your system are performing while performing strenuous tasks by bringing up the "task manager" window and watching the CPU load.... if all cores are PEGGED at near 100%, you are "CPU bound". As you are ALREADY overclocked, you can't do anything other than to TRANSCODE your footage to the free Cineform. Your ENABLED GPU can be observed....real time....using the free MSI Afterburner,( or, similar).  Certain operations are accelerated by the GPU with PPro....not ALL!!  Scaling and some effects will use use the "Mercury Acceleration" while rendering previews AND during export.In some cases, rendering previews,or, exporting can be sped up by TEN TIMES by Mercury Acceleration. Watch the "GPU Usage" on Afterburner to see if the GPU is indeed being used, and if you are "saturating" it to its capacity of 100% with accelerated effects.
    Make sure your Windows is fully updated to the current time........make sure your NVidia 760 has the most recent driver and DON'T use the Quadro for now. Set your "Windows page file" to be STATIC on your "C" drive at 24GB. Disable "Hibernation" Set all drives NOT to allow "indexing". Do NOT allow any spinning HDD to be over 50% filled....performance WILL decrease.....make sure any HDD is defragged,( do NOT defrag an SSD ! ). Stop all unnecessary processes, esp. anti-virus programs, while editing. Find out how to best "tune" windows to speed it up at the PPBM 6 and 7 websites.
    BE AWARE that the "run of the mill" SSDs use cheaper Sandforce controllers, and are less suited to handle highly compressed digital video files. Samsung PRO models and recent Crucial M550 series SSDs ONLY are recommended for video use. Both these non-Sandforce SSDs maintain high WRITE speeds,( over 400MB/sec), AND maintain their high speeds after reaching their "steady state" condition. Cheaper EVO series and non-Marvell controlled SSDs MAY lose their fast write speeds over time and SLOW YOU WAY DOWN !!!  Test your current SSDs by transferring large video files between them  and watching MB per second that appears under "details" in the pop up window during transfer. Make sure none are slow.....test them with HD Tune Pro as well.
    Certain non-Adobe plug-ins and certain effects may NOT use all the CPU threads well,or, may not use the GPU.....forcing the CPU to do additional work. You will have to identify problem plug-ins,or, effects by switching them on and off to see if any cripple your system.
    Your machine is POWERFUL.....go to PPBM7 website and read the "tweakers" page to learn more....then, register for free and TEST your machine with their video benchmark test for PPro. It should do WELL.....AND it will help identify if you have any "bottlenecks" which are impairing your system.
    Good Luck !!!!!.....THEN, start using CC 2014.....like Patton said : "...all glory is FLEETING !!"......so is the lifespan of former PPro versions !!!!!!

  • Video/Audio Splits (CS6)

    After marking a Video Split in Source Monitor it is expected that only Video will be placed into Sequence after an Overlay/Insert operation. But both Video and Audio are placed into Timeline. There's no Audio selection but the whole Audio track is placed into Timeline. Same applies when only an Audio Split is needed to select.
    Duration of a Marked Video/Audio Split Selection In Source Monitor is not updated. It's not updated in the Info palette too.
    Opinions?
    Feature Request/Bug Report Form
      ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:Video Split Duration not shown. When only a Video or an Audio Split is marked, both Video and Audio is placed into Timeline.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1.Open a Clip in Source Monitor
    2.Mark a Video or Audio Split
    3.Overlay Selection into Timeline
    Results:Duration of the Marked Split Selection is not represented in Source Monitor nor in Info Palette. Both Video and Audio is placed into Timeline.
    Expected results:Selected Video or Audio should be placed but not both.

    Correct for Clips opened from Sequence
    drag video/audio-only
    The idea behind the expected common-sense behaviour is to avoid Mouse in some cases, to aid some keyboard driven workflow - to avoid activating Timeline to select/deselect Audio/Video Tracks when only Video or only Audio is needed to place in the Sequence when clips are opened from Project panel.
    The Splitting feature is not ultimate, currently it can be used solely for doing J and/or L cuts.

  • Why can't I apply a cross dissolve between an after effects comp and black video in Premiere CS6

    I imported a 20 second composition from AE CS6 into Premiere Pro CS6 and would like to apply a cross dissolve transition between it and the media on either end of the AE clip. However, every time I try to apply the cross dissolve, it only gets applied to the AE clip. I can't apply any transitions that straddle the AE composition and anything else. For example, I have a 5 second black video before the comp and a jpg graphic after the comp. I have tried to apply a cross dissolve to both ends, but the cross dissovle only gets placed on the AE comp no matter how I try to apply it.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    When you playback the Timeline, with the Cross-Dissolve applied to the AE Comp (on both ends), how do the Transitions playback?

  • AVI file only plays sound, NOT video in Premiere CS6 and Element

    I tried getting this to work in Premiere pro cs6 or premiere element but it wouldn't accept this avi video file. When importing the avi file to either application, the file is imported but it shows up as an audio with no video. The video does play just fine in Windows Media Player. The file is archived as an avi file from a lorex dvr system with a codec IMM4. It is encrypted with the date and time which is very important to maintain.
    I have tried the following, but same problem of no video, only sound persists.
    Download the latest 32-bit static build of FFmpeg from here: Zeranoe FFmpeg - Builds
    Open the archive; you'll probably need 7-Zip since the archive is a .7z file. Extract the ffmpeg.exe file in the archive (it's in the "bin" folder) to the folder containing your AVIs.
    Create a text document (Notepad is fine) called "avi2mp4.bat" (no quotes) in the same folder as the AVIs, making sure to change the default TXT extension to BAT.
    Paste the following into the BAT file:    @ECHO OFF
    for %%a in (*.avi) do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mp4 -y "%%~na".mp4
    Once you save the BAT file, double-click it; your AVIs will be rewrapped to MP4s without any conversion. The MP4s will correctly import into Premiere Pro.
    I would appreciate anyones insight on this matter.
    The following is the GSpot report on the file:

    I'm having the same problem.
    CS3 works fine with the avi files, but CS6 can't decipher it.
    Very aggravating - I thought CS6 was supposed to be an improvement.
    Luckily I have not uninstalled CS3.
    One solution I found was using Windows Movie Maker to open the file and then save it to a WMV format.
    That opened correctly in CS6.
    It's still another step I didn't need in CS3.

  • Slow playback of audio books on Zen To

    Hi,
    was just wondering if anyone had any experience with audio books playback? I have dowloaded some free audio books, which are predictably of very poor quality.
    The problem is, while they play ok on an PC (lots of noise etc, but bearable), the playback on ZT is slowed down, like a cassete player (remember those) when the battery is dying.
    any suggestions?
    and does anyone know of any good free audio books sources with a decent quality?
    many thanks!

    they are encoded at the wrong speed, although i dont know much about this, if you search "slowed down" you will get a thread that will solve your problem

  • How do I design a background in AE then link it to my video in Premiere CS6?

    Please help!  I've been agonizing over this for days; watching videos on YouTube, but can't find the answer.  I've done a video for YouTube and it's just me talking, BUT, I shot it in front of a curtain behind me that I don't like.  I want to replace that curtain with a background I've learned how to create in AE - it's preset. 
    Previously, I learned to use the Rotobrush and I thought that was the answer to my problem, but it just extracts me and leaves a black background, and I don't want that.  Now that I know how to create the background in AE, I still don't know how to put that background onto the video that I have done.  I know it is very simple if you know how to do it, but I don't know how to do it.  I've spent way more time on this than I should, with no results! Please help.  Thanks.

    You said:

    That is wrong, as Mylenium said, you just did not have transparency grid turned on in your Composition Panel so you could not see the transparency. You are also stating that the rooted layer is the background. This is incorrect. The rooted layer is the foreground. You simply put a background layer below it just as you would in any app that uses layers like Photoshop or Illustrator or . . .
    If you want to export a movie that maintains a transparent background then you simply choose the Lossless With Alpha preset inside the Output Module and accept the default settings or you take the time to learn about Rendering, Alpha Channels and codecs by typing "rendering" or "Rendering transparent" in the Search Help field at the top right corner of AE and you study up. None of this stuff is hard, but the knowledge will not automatically pour into your head and the options are too many to achieve success by just poking around.
    One more thing. There is no media player (Quick Time, Windows Media Player, etc.) that will show you a transparent background in your video. NONE. The only time transparency shows up is in an app designed to use alpha channels like After Effects or Premiere Pro.
    Study up here: Adobe - Search: rendering%20transparent

  • What's the best way to record live webcam video with Premiere CS6?

    We are producing an online news show and will interview guests from all over the country. We will have them phone in using Skype and or their IPad. We would then do all of the post in Premiere. We would like to capture guest video from either Skype or an iPad using Premiere. Any suggestions for camera/software combinations will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    I would not attempt to use Premiere Pro to capture live video. There are better ways.
    Perhaps a screen capture utility that records to a lossless codec that is easily edited in Premiere Pro.
    I use a free program (CamStudio-Recorder) but there are others. Since I have the drive space, I record to the Lagarith Lossless Codec. Premiere Pro cuts through it like a hot knife through butter.
    If quality is not the issue, then there are other codecs you can use that are lossy, but still not too bad.

  • Export uncompressed FullHD video. Premiere CS6

    Hello.
    I have a problem, and I want to ask you for some advices.
    Actually I have an Intel Q9550 CPU on which I edit my videos. I didn't have problems with Full HD untill I started to work with AVCHD Format.
    The problem consist in Exporting time (it takes very long ~ 7 Hours to generate a 90 minutes movie with VBR 1 Pass + Render At Maximum Dept + Use maximum Render Quality, 1920x1080 25p).
    I have a colleague which has an Intel i7 3770K, which does the same process in less than 1 hour.
    I'm curios, is it possible to export from my Q9550 PC an uncompressed video. After that to Import this video on i7 3770K PC and compress it into MPEG2-Bluray and MPEG2-DVD. ?
    BTW:
    Actually I cannot change my PC because i have no budget allocated for it.
    Also, please exclude the advice to copy all footages to i7 3770K computer, and the project and to export on it.
    Any advice will be welcome.

    Firstly, you are greatly increasing the render times by checking both Max Depth and Max Quality. Max Depth is typically not needed or used. As for Max Quality, that is said to only help when SCALING is involved, so that would not help when going from HD source to Blu-ray, would only be used when exporting to DVD since you are downscaling the source video. So keeping those rules in mind could save substantial time right there.
    But if you do want to export and have your friend encode for you, you don't want "Uncompressed HD" files, those would be absolutely gigantic files and would really strain ANY system when trying to play them (requires special hard drive RAID arrays). Try the free Lagarith .avi codec that can be downloaded (your friend will need it as well to use the files). http://lags.leetcode.net/codec.html Has uncompressed quality, without the uncompressed file size, though the files will still be quite large compared to AVCHD. Your 90 minute program could easily be well over 100GB. A more compact format with good quality is the Matrox MPEG-2 I-Frame 4:2:2 codec, at 100mbps, so about 4x larger than AVCHD files, available here - http://www.matrox.com/video/en/support/windows/vfw_software_codecs/downloads/softwares/ver sion1.0/build33/
    Part of your render time issue could also be due to effects you have applied in the video. Those will of course need to render whether exporting to Blu-ray, DVD, or "just an .avi file". So in that case, it may take just as long to export to Lagarith as other formats, so you may not save any time anyway.
    What is your hard disk setup? That could be a bottleneck that limits export speeds as well, if reading from and writing to SAME drive, if it's not fast enough.
    Thanks

  • Media offline issue in premiere cs6

    I recently had my copy of Premiere CS6 fixed due to a handlertitler.dll problem. However, when it was finally fixed there was some playback issues, and about a third of my media is offline. How do I relink the media to where I can hear and see my video on Premiere CS6?

    Media Offline is most often caused by the links to it, which are absolute Paths, being changed. It could be a drive letter, a file Rename, or similar.
    I agree with Jim, that the best course of action is to let PrPro relink that media, when it asks "Where is file ____ ?" This article goes into more detail: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4598705#4598705

    PS - if you have not Moved, or Renamed anything, I would definitely check my HDD's, to make sure that they are functioning at 100%.

  • Laptop for Premiere CS6

    Hi All
    I  check buy this laptop for editing video via Premiere CS6.
    FHD via effects.
    If it is good enough?
    Lenovo Ideapad y70-70
    Cpu : i7 4710HQ
    Ram: 16gb ddr3
    GC:  Nvidia gforce gtx 860m 4gb
    HD: 256 SSD
    Thanks
    Best Regards

    Past the above, my concerns would be ... what external drive connections does it have? If it's got USB3, you could use a large and FAST flash drive as the storage area for your media ... you'd need to move projects on & off it of course as you worked, but say a 128 flash drive with a high sustained read-speed would handle a lot of work moving it off that relatively small SSD. Small, of course compared to 1T or better HD's.
    Thunderbolt & eSATA both have much better sustained throughput for working than USB3, for say any cache/database/renders/project file use. Though renders ... a lot of the time, out to a different flash drive would probably work fine. But with T-bolt & eSATA, you can attach external boxes pretty much as swift working as an internal drive.

  • Can't import XML from Premiere CS6 to Final Cut Pro X?

    Hi,
    I've been using Premier CS6 but I have downloaded the trail of FCPX and wan't to give that a try on my mac. I have edited the video in Premiere CS6 and exported it with the "Final cut pro xml" feature in AP CS6. I've exported the map containing the videofiles, the XML actually everything!
    But the FCPX won't let me select the XML when I try to use the import "XML". What am I doing wrong? Don't get any error messages since I can't even select the XML file.
    Thank you very much in advance, looking forward to try the FCPX!

    Nothing the XML export from Premiere is for legacy versions of FCP not for FCPX.

  • Why does Adobe Premiere CS6 slow playback after importing some audio?

    Adobe Premiere CS6.0 v6.0.2
    Mac Pro:
    1, 4 core - 3.2ghz CPU
    16gb ram (4 sticks of 4gb @ 1066 MHz)
    1 Tb dive with OS/Apps on
    2Tb 7200 RPM media drive
    ATI Radeon HD 5770
    Sequence:
    30Fps
    1920x1080
    Media:
    mostly .MFX files from a Canon XF100 however these clips commonly play nice with Premiere.
    Issue:
    After importing some audio clips (.wav/.mp3, possibly other extensions) to the timeline on occasion the video playback will become choppy and the audio will slow down 3% creating any voices in the video to become deeper and slows down.  Choppy video playback as well.  The problem is very annoying but  it can be temporarily fixed with a computer restart but it will come back.
    Things to note:
    Creating a rendered ID (Exporting the movie out to a .mov) the slowed choppy video does not appear in the final movie.
    Temp. Solution:
    The only way I can fix this problem is by restarting the computer.  Simply restarting Adobe Premiere and closing any non-essential applications does not fix the problem.
    Any ideas on how to fix this are much apperciated.

    Try converting your MP3 to AIFF ,QT or something else Macs like. See if that helps.

  • Help Please! Video is running slower than audio . Premiere CS6
