Source Monitor Issue

Hello everyone,
Since yesterday i am having a problem with the Source Monitor in Premiere Pro CS5.5 (And 6). Whenever i double click the file from my project menu nothing happens with the source monitor, like the file doesn't even open. But when i double click the file from the timeline, everything is fine. This problem i am having is both with CS5.5 and CS6 so iam assuming it has something to do with my pc instead of premiere. Anyone else had this problem? This is a big issue for me because i always cut my clips before dragging them in the timeline (i work with alot of clips).
Thanks!
These are my video properties of my files.

Did you try with another clip ?
You have to locate the problem more precisely :
if it works with another clip, then it's a problem from the clip
if it don't work with another clip, find a clip with a different codec
if the clip with a different codec work, then it's a problem from a codec
if none works, it's a software problem, you might wan't to try to delete the preferences of Premiere Pro, they might have got corrupted

  • Interpret Footage Source Monitor Issue

    Hello,
    I am trying to work through the Adobe Production Premium CS6 Classroom in a book.  In lesson 3, they have a 60p (59.9401) video file, and they instruct us to Interpret the footage as 24p (23.976). 
    If I add the resulting video clip to the timeline, everything is fine on the Program monitor.  But when I open the video clip on the Source monitor, things are screwed up.  The source monitor plays the video, in slow motion for the duration of the clip at 60p, but then switches to black for the remainder of the clip duration at 24p.  (E.g., "Live_23-60" is 2 seconds long at 60p, and 5 seconds long at 24p.  When playing Live_23-60 in the source monitor at 24p, I get slow video for 2 seconds, and black video for 3 seconds.)
    This is on the most up to date CS6 (PP is version 6.0.5 (001 (MC: 264587)) ) at the time of this post.
    Is anyone else having this issue?
    Thanks

  • Program monitor and source monitor display issues

    Hello, my program monitor is displaying strange colours (inverted?) when playing video. In addition, the source monitor will never display any video although audio plays back fine.
    I am running on a Lenovo ThinkPad X200 laptop with Windows XP 32-bit and an Intel X4500MHD video card with the latest Lenovo-certified driver version.
    From my testing, this problem appears regardless of project settings, file/footage settings, etc. I originally had the K-Lite codec pack installed although I have uninstalled that with no luck.
    This problem surfaced from the moment I opened Premiere after first installing it and I have tried reinstalling the program, my video card drivers, and uninstalling the previously mentioned codecs.
    Also I have a thread on this at the DVinfo forums which has had many responses although no working solution.

    I would try whether killing these processes will help. It may well be that when you kill them all you may encounter hangs, because one or more may be needed for your machine. I would start by killing all Lenovo processes. One would expect that one of these processes may cause your problems, but unless you try it, you can't be sure. Unfortunately I don't have a Lenovo, so I can only guess.

  • Source Monitor - Huge audio issue

    At first I thought I was going crazy... I was getting all audio on timeline but only one track in the source monitor.
    Then found out that this was only the case with 2 track mono clips.
    Why does the source monitor play back all tracks of a stereo clip but only track one of a 2 track mono clip?
    I've got a stack of clips from a shoot which are interviews.... Question mic on track 2 Answer mic on track 1
    Anyone got any idea how I utilise the source monitor if I can't hear audio.
    I dont want to modify all clips to stereo in the bin and I certainly don't want to select different tracks each time via the display mode drop down.
    Looks like I'll just be editing straight into the timeline.
    What a miss from adobe!

    Why does the source monitor play back all tracks of a stereo clip but only track one of a 2 track mono clip?
    Well, strictly speaking, Premiere isn't playing back all tracks of a stereo clip and only one track of a multi-mono clip, but rather, Premiere is playing back the first audio track of a clip, regardless of the channel mapping. To Premiere, a media clip with a stereo track has one audio track (not two), so that's why you hear both channels in that case.
    But, to the crux of your question and lament: I agree. It's a pain, particularly when dealing with footage like P2 MXF that contains 2 or 4 mono tracks. Due to the way I shoot, I usually have my primary audio on track 2, so using a usual Source/Program editing practice is difficult. Sounds like your workflow and expectation is the same.
    So until we get a way to select the audio track to be monitored from the Composite Video view (feature request: Adobe Feature Request/Bug Report Form), the workaround is to work in a sequence, or to switch to Audio view mode and then select the track you want to hear. There is a keyboard shortcut you can set to bring up the Audio view (I have that set to F4 and Composite Video to F3), but sadly, none exists to switch the monitor track. The track you select in Audio view is persistent in Composite Video view, but unfortunately, that setting/selection is not remember from clip to clip.
    I've lamented this myself, but hadn't gotten around to putting together a solid feature request; I think I'll do that now, and hope you will too.
    EDIT: sorry, missed you'd already said you don't want to toggle tracks. So... yeah... that's all there is...

  • Source monitor quality issues...

    Hi Guys,
    I hope someone can help. I've done a lot of searching for some help with this question;
    I've been using Premiere Pro CS3 for a little while and am slowly mastering (learning) the basics!
    I recently imported a .mov file in PremPro to add some music to it.
    The strange thing is, after import, the movie seems washed out/faded in the source monitor and also when I export the final comp.
    When I open the .mov in Quicktime and After Effects and view it, it's perfect.
    I'm working on a MacPro tower (i'm at home now and can't exactly remember the spec! ) But running OS 10.4+
    When I open the same .mov file in Premiere on my MacPro Laptop at home the movie preview is fine!?
    I'm sure i'm doing something very wrong!? Any ideas guys?
    Apologies for the lack of machine specs.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the forums.
    Do a search with the keywords "quicktime" and "gamma". I'm sure that is what is affecting you. I personally don't use Quicktime.
    Cheers

    Is that true for all GoPro video formats or just some of the newer (higher resolution/frame rate) one?  The GoPro has several different pre-sets and I typically like to get as much resolution as possible for my source and for highspeed subjects like sports I try to use higher framerates as well.  Are you suggesting that I convert the source files to Cineform avi and then edit those resulting AVI's in CS6?

  • Video won't play in timeline or source monitor

    I recently purchased a Canon HG10 camcorder and have been attempting to edit the AVCHD .mts files using Premiere Pro CS4 (4.2.1). However, I have been unable to play the video in either the timeline or source monitor. Both the video and audio will play for a fraction of a second and then stop. I thought it might be an issue with the .mts file so I converted it to several other formats (Quicktime, H.264, MPEG4, etc.) and I still can't get any video to play. I imported and tried playing other video, but to no avail. I can edit, scrub, export, apply effects, and do pretty much anything else - but I can not get it to play in the timeline. I do have Final Cut Express and if I convert the .mts file to Quicktime I can edit it, but I would like to be able to edit the native Canon AVCHD.

    iMac 10.6.4

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Jason,
    The first thing that I would check would be your Playback Preferences. Please list your settings, and folk here can review them and possibly spot something simple.
    Next, I would do one of two things, regarding your Catalyst drivers for you ATI/AMD card. If you do not have the latest driver, download and install it. If you DO have the latest Catalyst driver, keep it around in a safe folder, but download and install an earlier version. Cannot recall the exact numbers now, but a few users had to go back about three versions. Also, since those driver versions were listed in this forum, I'd bet that at least two more have been released. Going back a few months, it seems that there were 2 - 3 versions, that did not work well with some Adobe programs.
    Though I have all nVidia cards, I keep drivers going back about 6 mos., as I never know when I might encounter an issue and need to roll-back.
    Also, as the gaming market drives the video card business, and their drivers, it is possible that some gamer-only module has been added. That happened with nVidia drivers about a year ago. For a couple of versions, one had to manually disable a 3D and another gamer-only module. Later versions installed with these off, unless the user turned them on.
    Last thought - check your OpenGL settings, and depending on your OS, check Hardware Acceleration. In your Catalyst console, check what your 3D settings are. You want to set any to "Let the application choose," or similar syntax.
    Good luck, and hope that something there helps you.

  • Jerky playback in Source Monitor (vs. Windows Media Player) ...

    I am a new user of CS5.5.   I've read the FAQ and other posts and understand that my machine is underpowered.
    That said, why do my HD clips play smoothly with Windows Media Player or Quicktime, but play jerky in the PP Source Monitor?  What is it about PP's source monitor player that causes clips to choke when they can play back smoothly on the same computer using other software?   Are there any other workarounds other than a faster machine I can do in the meantime until I upgrade my hardware?
    For example, I see the "render entire work area" option under the Sequence menu as noted above - is there any way to do something similar to get PP to (pre) render the clips in the Project Panel for follow up editing in the Source Monitor window?
    What about batch encoding to an uncompressed format and then editing the resultant clips?  I would be concerned about loss of quality here though.  Being new to PP, not even sure this question makes any sense in the first place.
    Thanks!

    Good news for you...its not designed that way and a great playback experience is possible.
    Bad news is...you have to work out why you are not getting it!
    (It has nothing to do with Quadro Cards because plenty of users with other cards have no issue either.)
    Well, I'm just going by what I've seen in the past few years. When Premiere CS4 came out I had an Intel Quad Core 2.66 Ghz, 8 GB of RAM, Intel motherboard and an Nvidia 7950GT card. Playback was fine in Vegas, skipped frames in Premiere. Then on my current machine, an AMD 1090T 6 cores @3.2 Ghz, G.Skill 16 GB of RAM, a top of the line Gigabyte motherboard, and at first an ATI Radeon 4850HD, same thing, Vegas played fine, Edius much better (but nothing beats Edius in speed), and Premiere CS5 stuttered like crazy. Now, same machine but with an eVGA GTX570 instead of the ATI, Windows 7 x64, fresh install just one day old. Premiere CS6 does the same thing. If it's my machine, I have no idea what could it be, but the fact that it did the same on two different cards on this machine, and that Premiere CS4 used to do the same in a totally different machine, plus the fact that two other NLEs didn't have that issue, tells me Premiere has a problem at displaying video inside the GUI.
    Maybe it could be that most people don't see stutter because they leave the playback quality in automatic? I'm sure I don't have any stutter if I do that, but it looks terrible. Some frames look fine, others look like the pixels got drunk and had a night out with crack whores Well, maybe that's an exaggeration, but you get the point.
    If anyone has a suggestion I'd be happy to try it. It's not a terrible issue for me, I always edit with the TV set on and that is fed by the Matrox MXO2 Mini with perfect quality.

  • Clips from Project bin to source monitor causing video output to go out of sync(CS6 and CC)

    Any footage I double-click or drag from the Project window to the Source monitor causes my video output to go out of sync. When I put the clips in the timeline, video goes back in sync and I'm able to view video output.  My monitors are connected to a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt(9.7.5) via component and HDMI. Is this normal behavior in Premiere or is there a setting to enable this? No issues doing this in FCP7(clips from Project window to Canvas).
    Can someone with an I/O from AJA, Matrox, or Blackmagic please test this out for me. Thanks...

    Hi Joe,
    How do you have your audio setup? Try the following.
    - Set your OS system sound to Built-in or Line out audio
    - Select Blackmagic for both Video and Audio in Preferences> Playback
    - Select System Default Input/Output from Preferences> Audio Hardware

  • Can't see video in Source Monitor, or play it in Program Monitor

    Hi there
    I have been using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 fine for months now, doing the same tasks on a daily basis. However yesterday morning the computer crashed whilst editing some footage and now it doesn't function properly.
    I have re-installed the software and this hasn't fixed issues, and also performed a system restore which fixed some but not all of them.
    The main problem is I can now import video into the project and drop it onto the timeline (which I couldn't before the system restore) but now I can't view the original footage in the Source Monitor, making editing tricky, and it doesn't play continuosly in the Source Monitor, only giving a still image wherever I leave the playhead.
    I can hear the audio and it plays without any breaks, it's just the video.
    Can anyone help?

    Can anyone help? I use it for work and basically I can't do any more work until it's fixed.
    Things I've tried:
    Uninstall and reinstall
    System restore
    Checking opacity on clip
    Checking which workspaces are open
    importing old footage and other formats
    opening old projects
    updating codecs
    emptying media cache

  • CS4 Premiere Pro Clips Won't Play in Source Monitor/Program Monitor

    I can't get clips to play in source monitor/program monitor/preview pane in Pr Pro.  I have spent hours looking through the forums to try and find a fix and I have troubleshot the following.....
    1. Codecs are not broken... or seem to be working according to Sherlock
    2. Video and audio drivers up to date
    3. Unistalled and re-install Pr Pro then updated via updater
    Here is the funny thing...
    In Encore, OnLocation, and other Suite program the play functionality works just fine....the only one it doesn't is Pr Pro.
    Question:
    Is the source code to playback video in Pr different then the other suite programs or am I just making a trivial mistake in Pr?
    Sorry for the novice question but I am about to give up and have no where to turn.

  • Link sound and video in source monitor

    Hi,
    I'm using CS3. I have a mpeg video clip and a wav sound file on the timeline. The video / audio is not multiplexed. They are linked on the timeline. What I'd like to do is link the video and audio and go into the source monitor with the material..   so I can edit subclips etc from source monitor and put into a new video layer on timeline.
    When I put both video and soundfile into source panel , edit video, and drag onto timeline only the video goes to timeline.
    Is there a way to link them in the source monitor so both video and sound can be edited to timeiline?
    Thanks
    Rod

    Rod,
    I feel your pain. Many years ago, my cousin came to me to design a Web site for her trout ranch. Fine, no problem. I sent her the normal assignment list of questions: audience, their specific demographic, intent of Web site, history, services, etc., etc. Never got a thing back, but tons of e-mails on her ideas on how the site should look and the sites that it should link to. "OK, those are useful bits of info, but lets get back to the questions. I need those first." More sites to link to, and a couple of shreds of paper with ideas. "What's that on the bar napkins?" "Oh, that's the history of the ranch." I traveled to her ranch and shot for several days, and sent the select images on DVD for her to do a final edit. She sent those to Orvis, to use in a calender, without even credits! Luckily, I had not sent the chromes. She contacted me and asked if I had more stock shots, as Orvis wanted to save money on having someone shoot for them... Uh, not quite.
    Finally got some useful ideas, and did a complete layout of the site. I kept pressing for the "Who We Are" material, and got more napkins and backs of envelopes with some real Joycean writings. I took all of that info to a copywriter friend, who owed me for some photoshoots. He worked for a few weeks, e-mailing me lists of questions. I FWD'ed those to cousin, and never got a reply. When he was done, I sent the copy to her - not even close. I asked her to write it all down in a TXT, or DOC file and send it to me. A few weeks later, I got legal sheet of lined paper with words that would have made Kafka ponder.
    Still, I plugged along, and sent the complete layout. "Where's the canoe rental?" "No one ever mentioned canoe rentals." "Where's the horse boarding?" "What horse boarding? When did that get added?" On it went. I finally managed to do a mock-up of the site, which was now about 60 pages, and linked to over 300 sites around the globe. Well, now there was an espresso stand on the highway, a dog boarding concession and a half-dozen other additions. Plus, the interiors of all of the rooms had been redone, since I shot them. I built the changes in Photoshop, and "redecorated" each room, per the descriptions of those decorations.
    Even then, the Who We Are was not right, and incomplete. After four months of work, I issued an ultimatum - I am done, until you get me the info requested in that first form, with a BTW - here's another copy. [Sounds a bit like Harm's 5th request for necessary info.]
    A month elapsed, and then I got an e-mail. A friend of a friend had designed a wonderful site for her in trade-out. I went to the URL. It was a two pager with zero links to anything. It did have a Who We Are, but it read like Lawrence Ferlinghetti.
    Next e-mail was "would you be my Webmaster and update my site weekly?" My answer was that because I was so busy, I was not the right person for that job. I taught her Acrobat, and did add a few PDF pages for her, but that was it.
    In the end, it was hard labor and little fun. The site was passable, but nothing like she stated was necessary. I do not know if she ever updated any of the PDF's, but highly doubt it. I never even got a thank you note from Orvis either. Loads of fun. Remember my comment in another thread on the "Three Reasons for Taking an Assignment?" Could have been fun, but it was not.
    I wish you luck, as I have "been there - done that," and it ain't no fun.
