Source monitor to program monitor issues

I cant drag footage from the source monitor to the program monitor window to add it to the sequence timeline. I get a hand symbol instead Mac os 10.8.4 / CS6

sure that works, but I'm trying to follow a tutorial and can't see any reason why my software dosen't do as the tutorial suggests it should . .

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?

This is a known issue with a recent Windows update.

Switching ExternalMonitor View from "Source Monitor" to "Program Monitor"?

This worked fine in CS6, but I switched to Premiere CC and my external monitor is displaying the contents of Premiere's "Source Monitor" only, not the "Program Monitor". When the Timeline or Program monitor is selected, the extrenal monitor is black. But slecting Source Monitor plays fine on the extrenal moitor (through SDI connection)
How do I switch to the viewing the Program Monitor signal in my external monitor instead of the Source Monitor?
Tech Setup: using Blackmagic ultrastudio mini monitor to send SDI signal. Have installed the latest driver for the Blackmagic ultrastudio, which is approved for Adobe CC. Everything works perfectly in Premiere CS6, it's an issue inside Premiere CC.
Thanks!

Thanks for your help Peter!

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.

Source monitor smooth program monitor jerky

Hi, just checking to see if someone will have an idea of why my video has a playback problem. It plays very smoothly in the source monitor but in the program monitor it is not very smooth at all. Even when I go to highest quality playback. It actually seems to run smoother on that Automatic quality. If I attempt to the shuttle button, it will advance the verticle time indicator, but the image in the window freezes.
I'm using Premiere Pro CS4. I have 2 1tb hard drives, 2.1g processor, and 4gb of RAM. It has worked perfectly in the past. I haven't been editing video for about 2 months, and when I started editing again today, these things were noticed.

Hello Bill,
Yes there was a red line above the clips in the timeline. I hit the enter key to begin rendering and when it finished, the video played smoothly in the program monitor and source monitor using all three available video qualities in each.
The AV files were raw digital video downloaded to my computer hard drive from a 16gb class 4 memory card. It was shot using a Canon VIXIA HF200 using FXP mode. It was brought into Premiere as a DV- NTSC standard 48KHz preset.

Source Monitor and Program Monitor dead in Premier Pro?

I recently installed Premiere Pro CS6 on my laptop so I could use it on location, but both the Source Monitor and the Program monitor are completly dead. The Source Monitor just displays a bright array of colours when you try to play anything, and the Program Monitor is just plain black. The audio still plays at full volume and I've tested the imported media (a mixture of .jpg, .mov and .mp4 fils) in other programs on my computer and they work fine. Any suggestions people?
Here is a screen grap of the Premiere Pro doing its thing: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A2mmd7JCQAEyPXV.jpg:large

Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Using the Source Monitor and Program Monitor

strJiveDescriptionhttp://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/source-monitor-program-monitor.html

Even back in the days of printed manuals, there were often sections, that repeated, as they had application to a few slightly different topics. I always found that better (then), than just having a note to "go to _____ for info on this." Probably used a few extra trees, but one did not have to constantly flip back and forth. Now that we're talking 1's and 0's, I can see where a limited bit of repetition would enhance the flow of knowledge, and understanding, even when hyper-linked.
Just my observations,

Source clip and program monitor have different sizes, how can I fix that?

How can I have the same size both side?
Thank you.

It seems your sequence settings does not match your footage.
Start over and do this to get the correct settings:

Media showing pending in project folder and source and program monitor

I have Premier Pro CC and Premier Pro CC 2014 and I now have an issue with some imported files showing in the project window as pending. If I open them in the source monitor or program monitor I get the same message. Some of the files are green until you hover over them then they go to the gold screen with text showing Media Pending. Any ideas what's going on? I'm on a PC with 32G memory and nvidia GTX680 GPU and I was not experiencing this issues before.

On the slight chance you're using that awful, notoriously bug-laden plug-in Magic Bullet Looks, it's causing this same problem, and you are guaranteed that by disabling it, your problem is solved. It was a nightmare for me, because my whole project was color-corrected based upon that plug-in, so I had to downgrade to an earlier version from last year since Red Giant are totally stagnant in fixing its bugs.

Source & Program Monitor

I shooted a stage program with two cameras. I am using CS5.5 to edit the videos. How can I see both cameras videos same time one in source monitor another in program monitor. If I use gang source and program monitor the I can see both videos in source monitor and program monitor by dragging but if I play I can see only the program monitor video then after pause the source monitor video jumps to the position. Is there any way to play both videos same time in source monitor and program monitor?

Here's information about the multi-cam editing that shooternz referred to.

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 File shows White Screen in Source + Program Monitor

Hello,
I'm having an issue with only one of three media files in my Premiere Pro CS6 project.
When I try to preview this one video file in the Source Monitor, it shows only a white screen, and I can only move the playhead to the beginning and end of the file. I then plopped the clip into the sequence to see if rendering it would give me better luck in the Program Monitor, yet to no avail. The file supposedly successfully rendered, yet when I open the subsequently created "Preview" file in VLC, the entire clip is completely white for its entire duration. (I think it's interesting to note that VLC plays the source file correctly, and that this footage has been successfully used in a separate project in Final Cut after converted to ProRes with Compressor.)
I've opened the file with GSpot to make sure I had the Codec installed, yet GSpot doesn't list any Codec information for this file. It only lists Container information.
(Screen shot of GSpot with white-screen issue in the background)
My Video Card drivers are up to date, taken directly from the chipset's manufacturer's website.
Codec: (See post below for Media Info dump)
Premiere Pro version 6.0.3 (001 (MC: 264587)), installed in English.
Sequence Settings: DVCPROHD 1080i50 default settings (framerate changed to 50FPS)
Windows 7 x64 Service Pack 1, English, 1440x900 32bit Color
Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU T4200 @ 2.00 GHz
2GB RAM
Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family, Driver version 8.15.10.2869
53.2GB of free space on the SSD all of the media files, the operating system, the Adobe Premiere installation, and scratch disk is located.
I'm unsure of the camera used to record this footage.
Thanks for reading my post, and let me know if you need any more information.

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.
Hardware Specs
CPU 3.6 GHz
HD 1TB 7200 RPM
RAM 2 MB (is this my issue?)
Video: Open GL

Number of issues here:
1. Your system does not meet minimum requirements.
2. Your CPU, disks, memory are not enough for anything other than DV.
3. What video camera was used with what codec on what OS with which version of PR. etc.
Some suggestions... and answer at least the 16 questions at the end of the Wiki article.

Jim Simon question??? (Source and Program monitor freeze)

Jim...Did I read correctly that you are NOT having the monitor freeze when your firewire output is set to desktop speakers? Everybody I know is having the same issue I am. When desktop speakers are set the source monitor and the program monitor both freeze when playing out through firewire. If I set it to external device audio everything plays fine.
If you are not having this issue can you tell me what video and audio card you have. I would like to figure this out if possible...
Thanks!

tClark,
I use two LCD screens PLUS a CRT TV, connected by firewire to a Panasonic DV deck, which is connencted through SCART to the TV.
I can not replicate your problem. Pressing PLAY, even with a HDV project and with playback settings like this:
you can see what it looks like from this picture during playback:
Sorry for the flash, but it is just a quick snapshot to show what it looks like.
BTW I use Vista64 SP2 and the video card is an ATI HD Radeon 4870 with driver 9.05

Source and Program Monitor not working after October CC 2014 Update

I updated to the October 2014 Replace of Premiere Pro and since then I have had major issues with the Source and Program monitors.
I can select a clip from the media browser and have it appear in the source monitor - click play. The clip will play for a bit and the picture will stop, but the audio will keep going. After a few seconds the source monitor will just display a red screen and the audio will keep going. The same things happens in the program monitor (different clips that worked before the October 2014 update) will start displaying the yellow media pending screen - and then go to red after a few seconds. Again - this is a mutli-camera sequence that worked before the October 2014 update.
I am pretty much dead in the water at this point. And yes, I have rebooted, changed the Mercury play back engine from hardware to software. Nothing seems to correct the issue.

I have had similar problems. In fact playback is so sluggish it is unworkable.
In addition Audio in nested sequences doesn't play back, and when it does it is intermittent. Totally unworkable!
