Timeline playback issues

I am having issues with the playback of clips in my timeline. The clips will play for 1 or two seconds then stop. If I click play the same thing repeats over and over. The odd thing is that I can intermittently on occasion play the timeline without doing anything differently.
Before we go too deep pointing blame at hardware issues I am able to play these clips with NO problems using Aunsoft Final Mate, Windows Media Player as well as AE writer 5.0 which came with my camcorder. I have the Panasonic HCX920. This camera records 1080/60p. with 5.1 channel audio. When I select project assets I get the following info. Type: MPEG Movie Size 1920X1080, frame Rate 59.94, Pixel ratio 1, average data rate 3Mb/sec, source audio 48Khz compressed 6 ch.,project audio 48Khz 32 bit floating point 6 ch.
I record to SandiskExtreme Pro SDHC UHS-I cards 16 GB. I am adding the media using the 1080/60p preset in Elements 11. I save my projects on my C drive but keep everything else including the imported video, scratch discs etc on my WD RE 4TB SATAIII hard drive.
I am running Windows 7 Pro 64Bit I have 16 GB of RAM and the processor is the Intel i5-2500k CPU at 3.3GHz.
I have updated my Nvidia video card driver to the latest its the GT430. I have also made sure that I am running the latest version of Quicktime.
I purchased the Adobe Premiere elements 11 Classroom in a book and have read it. I have checked the problem solving docs on adobe's web site. My concern is that I can play back these clips without any issues on everything that I have tried except PE11.
Correct me if I am wrong but I am supposed to play the entire timeline from beginning to end by pressing play without interruptions correct?
I have tried rendering the timeline but that doesn't seem to do anything. There is no indication that lets you know if rendering is in progress or if completed. I know that PE11 supports 1080/60p but is this cameras output something that PE11 doesn't handle?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Please excuse the question, I was reading about your Panasonic HCX920 offerings and noted AVCHD 1080p60 and AVCHD 3D.
What is the difference in the properties between the two so that one can distinquish between the two on a MediaInfo or other properties readout?

I have tried rendering the timeline but that doesn't seem to do anything. There is no indication that lets you know if rendering is in progress or if completed.
When you tried to render the Timeline containing the 1080p60, was there an orange line, green line, or no colored line over its content on the Timeline? If you have no colored line or a green line, there is no rendering when you press the Render Button or press Enter or go Timeline/Render Work Area, just playback of your Timeline. The colored line indicator system is the program telling you whether or not it feels that you are getting the best possible preview for what you are seeing in the Edit Mode monitor at playback. With no colored line or green indicator, no rendering since the program feels that you are getting the best possible preview. You realize that once you edit that "rendered" clip it will require rendering to get the best possible preview of what you then have. If orange line over time and you render, you know the rendering process is complete when the orange line is completely replaced by a green one.
When all is said and done, at this point, if you export your 1080p60, what does the export look like on your player? Are you seeing the same problems in the export as you are seeing at the Timeline level?
If you are exporting the 1080p60, then to what...1080p60 with 5.1 channel audio? If you want to do that, as 1080p60 with AAC 5.1 Channel Audio I can tell you how to do that. Can do as AAC but not Dolby Digital.
If you did want to follow up on JMJarrige's suggestion about deleting the BadDrivers.txt file, in your Windows 7 64 bit, the BadDrivers.txt file can be found in the path:
Local Disk C
Program Data
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the BadDrivers.txt file that you delete.
I may have missed the information in what has already been written, so I would appreciate it if you could remind me how you are importing your 1080p60 into Premiere Elements
a. from memory card into Premiere Elements via one of the Add Media choices as mentioned by SG, that is, the FLIP one
or
b. transferring your 1080p60 to the computer hard drive save location, followed by import into Premiere Elements 11 via its Add Media/Files and Folders?
Just some thoughts.

I'm having timeline playback issues on one user on an iMac but not on another

Ok, I'm stumped. The iMacs we have here at the high school are set up through active directory and on the Admin account, premiere performs fantastic. On the student accounts however, it has this weird playback issue where it will play for about a second and then stop. You can keep pushing play but it keeps stopping. The app doesn't crash but playback is really bad.
I sure appreciate the help.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply!
Are there any user settings in particular that I could enable?
The bummer is that the imac is running for a student account and admin is
pretty strict about enabling administrator prefs to students.

Timeline Playback Issue - OSX

I have two iMacs that are having this issue. When I am using the J, K, and L keys to play and shuttle through the timeline the L key does not play it just skips forward one frame every time I press its. This will happen forever unless I press the space bar to play then go back to using the L key. I pretty much deal only with several camera shoots, so I cannot determine if it is better or worse with single cam timelines.
OSX 10.9.3
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
8GB DDR3 RAM
Hitachi 7200RPM HDD
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
Premiere Pro 7.2.2
Footage is AVCHD 1080i 60fps playing off of a harddrive
I also notice that sometimes the playhead won't actually go to where I place it when I click on the timeline, it will jump to it then instantly jump back to where it was originally; not sure if this is related or another issue.
Does anyone else experience this? What can I do to correct it?

Jim,
You keep making the same mistake over and over and you obviously do not understand that a single disk has more tasks than just feeding a media stream from disk. If that was the only thing, you might have been correct, but it is ridiculous to state that a single slow disk is enough for editing.
You simply forget Windows housekeeping tasks (system clock, network access, indexing, file tags, logs, etc.) , access to the page file, loading and unloading DLL's needed by services and processes running, Adobe accesssing indexed, conformed and peak files and the database pointers to them, the raw media, the accessing of importer and exporter modules, the effects and transition modules, the playback engine, backup of project files, Adobe logs, etcetera, etcetera.
You always assume that time lines have only one track, not multiple tracks and each track in use more than doubles the bandwidth requirements.
You conveniently forget audio processing and multiple audio tracks. In short, you give a very lobsided story than is completely inaccurate.
No hard feelings, but I think you better adjust your stance on this.

Stuttering flv playback issue- need help asap

We need help asap. Have a project is due to deliver today (5/14).
We have a video to go on a dvd-rom, live action with Motion Graphics behind.
When output is done thru Projector the Motion Graphics stutter as they scroll.
Here is more technical info:
Stuttering flv playback issue:
Prores 422 timeline 29.97fps 1280x720 output from fcp using current settings.
Mov file is approx 7gb, plays relatively smooth on a mac pro with no raid.
Frame by frame analysis shows all frames are present with no jumps tears or skips.
Tried several output paths, programs and settings to create a smooth flv file to no avail.
We adjusted data rates from 2k, 3.5k, 4k and 8k, no luck
We adjusted keyframe rates from low to all frames, no luck.
We tried cs3 flash encoder, cs5 media encoder, squeeze ect, same results.
Playback in the flash projector seems to choke slightly no matter what we do.
Have also posted in the Director Forum.
Any help much appreciated!

Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:
Try playing the file using a different xtra, sometimes different ones will work better. If you have Director 11.5, there is a native flv playback xtra.
You can build a player easily in Flash using the flvPlayback component, then bring that into Director as a swf.
Once you have the video in Director, try making the member Direct To Stage (DTS). If it is already DTS, try making it not DTS.
Make sure the video is not transparent, and nothing in Director overlaps the video... in fact, when the video is playing, nothing should be moving at all, and try to keep the amount of code that is running to a minimum.
Try lowering your video's data rate further or try using a different codec.
Using VBR (Variable Bit Rate) compression often makes the video appear to play smoother.
Try compressing the flv with different software. FFMpeg, for example, is free and does a very good job, often better than the Flash Video Encoder that comes with Flash/Creative Suite.

Playback Issues with multiple framerates and Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme

I recently swapped by AJA Kona Card for a Blackmagic Decklink 4K Extreme in order to get external monitoring in DaVinci Resolve.
I'm working in a 1080p 23.976 project that includes some 29.97 SD and HD footage. When loading this 29.97fps footage into my source footage, I periodically encounter frozen playback (The play triangle in my toolbar becomes a square symbol and remains that way). From there I am unable to playback any footage in any timeline, and requires a full system shutdown to return to normal! The problem is seemingly intermitent, with successful playback happening sometimes.
The 29.97 footage was DVCPRO, I attempted to transcode to Prores to troubleshoot. No dice. I believe it to be an issue related to the Decklink's inability to handle multiple framerates on-the-fly but wanted to submit here, too. I've also experienced intermittent sync delays on my broadcast monitor.
Decklink Driver 10.0
Premiere CC 7.2.1
Mac OSX 10.9.2 (same problem pre-mavericks)

Hi Andy,
You should not have any issues with Blackmagic handling multiple formats on the fly. However, I believe the frozen playback issues your describing is related to the Desktop Video 10 driver. I suggest rolling back to 9.3.3 for the time being. Blackmagic is looking into this issue now.

CUDA always works great on timeline playback but sometimes not at all on Export+MRQ enabled?

Hi,
I have Premiere CS 5.5.2 on Mac with Lion 10.7.2. System is Q6600, 8 GB DDR2, graphics is Nvidia GTX 560, 1 GB DDR5, 256 bit. AVCHD 1080i material exporting to PAL DV.
CUDA works great on timeline playback but SOMETIMES (3rd time in 3 months) when I export with MRQ enabled it simply does not kick in at all. Exporting times are high as exporting without CUDA, the graphics card's coolers don't speed up like they do when I play the timeline or when exporting with CUDA was working.
If I cancel the export CUDA works just like before when I play the timeline. If I go to export, again, it does not work. Very high export times. I click cancel again and it works fine playing the timeline, the coolers on the graphics card go slightly up as to indicate that th GPU is beeing used, everything is just fine. MRQ is always enabled and the project preferences are set to use CUDA.
Twice I solved this problem by closing EyeTV since I thought that this was the issue because maybe this program was using somehow the video acceleration and no more room was left for CUDA, but last time even this did not work. I closed EyeTV, restarted Premiere but nothing. Same problem, CUDA worked just fine playing the timeline WITH EyeTV running but not when exporting with MRQ. I had to restart the computer to get CUDA to work on export with MRQ enabled.
With CUDA: 30 minutes of AVCHD 1080i footage + logo applied and export with MRQ = 15 minutes exporting time to PAL DV.
Without CUDA or when CUDA does not work on export: 3 hours exportinng time to PAL DV.
For those who don't know EyeTV is a tv tuner application and I use it on DVB-C to monitor 2 national TV channels that are on the same digital multiplex. I opened up even 6 channels at the same time on the same multiplex and CUDA still worked fine on the timeline.
MRQ is always checked, always ON.
All I want to know if there is anyone else with this issue, wheter on Windows or Mac, their observations and what they tried to solve this issue.
Thanks a lot,
Best regards,
Dj Lyon

Can I view Timeline Playback via my Canopus ADVC300?

I have a Canopus ADVC300 attached to my Mac Pro via a Firewire connection. The composite video out is connected to a SD TV. Can I make the timeline playback to this TV as an external monitor? (I used to do this when I had my PC and used AVID Liquid.) I was able to "Print to Tape" and gat the video on the TV, but I'd like to be able to see the timeline playback directly. What would be the correct settings? Has anyone done this successfully? Please let me know.
Thanks
Art

Yes, you can. I have one and works just fine.
Set the video out to Apple firewire NTSC (or PAL), all frames, audio follows video.
Make sure your audio is also being fed from the canopus or you'll have playback sync issues.
fwiw, Print to Video is for sending to a VTR.

Premiere Pro CS6 Mac Playback Issues

I've searched for similar issues, and while I found plenty of playback issues, I didn't see anything like what I'm experiencing.
MacPro Quad-Core Xeon 2.26 x2 (8b cores)
12 GB ram
OS 10.6.8 (can't update this due to other infrastructure)
Nvidia GeForce GT 120
FAST Fiber attached SAN
Local Raid0 media drive
I know the GPU isn't compatible with the Mercury hardware acceleration.
I've been a Premiere Pro user since version 2 and have kept current through the years. I'm happily running CS5.5 on PC's in my home office. I recently installed the trial version of CS6 on my Mac at work to evaluate for that environment, and I'm pulling my hair out trying to get over some basic issues. I have no problems with Media Encoder or AE.
In Premiere using preview or program (timeline), playback stops after roughly a second... though it varies by several frames each time. I tested this with various video files, .wav files, stills (jpeg, psd), etc. I even tested with black video and bars generated inside Premiere. The problem persists with all of the above... click play, and playback stops after about a second. Scrubbing works great... I've tried different playback resolutions. I'm not using any 3rd party monitoring devices or I/O cards on this machine.
I have FCP 7 installed on the same machine and have no trouble editing and playing 1080i video all day long.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

The above suggestion worked for me briefly, but the problem keeps re-occuring.
I too am using Snow Leopard 10.6.8, NVIDIA gfx card (8800) and an ATI Radeon 5500.
Premiere played back fine in Lion and Mountain Lion, but I downgraded because I have old quicktime files and Final Cut 7 projects that i need to work with so Lion is not an option for me.
Bizarre behavior if you ask me.
Any help on this?

Frame Rate Export-Playback Issue

Hello,
I'm relatively new to FCP 7.
But here's the problem..I have a timeline with the following sequence settings:
720p
H.264
50fps
But somehow whenever I export it in .MOV it seems to have a playback issue. All my audio gets jumbled up..it isn't synced anymore.
Doesn't seem to have a issue when I export in .3gp or in .m4v
Can someone help?
Thank you.

Yup...that's a problem. FCP and H.264 don't mix. Sync issues, export issues...don't edit H.264 native in FCP, period. If you use FCP 7 or earlier, you MUST convert your footage to an editing codec, like ProRes. And use ProRes sequence settings.
A quick fix you can try is to go into the sequence settings, change the COMPRESSOR to ProRes 422...and render the sequence, then export.

Playback Issues With FCP 7

Hi all
I am having playback issues(jittery) since i had it, I am using FCP 7, I installed mountain Lion reinstalled FCP, upgraded the memory to 14 GB, hoping this would help, The specs are below, are there any know issues with the HD, Graphics card or memory?
any suggestions I really appreciate
Thanks
But i am at my wits end,

Are your timeline playback settings set to Dynamic?
Is your audio playback set to Low (faster)?
What are the properties of you source material?
What are the sequence settings you are using?

Horrible chopper timeline playback peformance

Trying out Flash CC I'm getting absolutly horrible timeline playback performance.
I made a single circle graphic object, and using a classic tween between 2 points to make it travel across the screen.
The playback is so inconsistent. 24 fps, then hangs for a while, showing 5.75 fps, then 13 fps, then 18, back to 4. it just can't display it properly.
System
Win 7 64bit
16gb ram
Nvidia Titan GTX 690 (tried latest official and beta drivers)
Scrubbing is choping as well, the time slider will get "stuck" on random frames and then jump to where the mouse is.
Are there any settings anywhere that changes what type of graphic renderer the software is using? eg: software/open gl etc?
I'm trying to see if there's something else running on my system that might be interfeering with it but no luck so far.
Does flash have problems with SLI cards such as a gtx 690?, can i run flash cc in a different mode that might help prevent this terrible performance? Its impossible to do any animation like this.
Thanks

I dont see this happen on my system. If will be great if you can do the following test:
- Close the timeline and then play the movie using Menu / Keyboard shortcuts? Both playback and stepping frames.
That way we can know if it is a timeline or a stage issue.

IPhone 5 music playback issues (after iOS 8 upgrade)

Hi,
After upgrading my iPhone 5 to iOS 8 I have had many playback issues with my Music. Songs randomly skipping or stopping without even doing anything are some of the issues. Also sometimes when I am listening to a song it would fast forward the music.
P.S. I don't sync my music, I just manually add content.
Is there any way I can fix this problem?
Thanks

My wife had something like this happen with her iPad. The problem was that the device had not been synced and so some file were not loaded on the device.
The way to correct the problem is to plug the device into the computer and tell it to sync.

Weird Playback Issue...

I have this weird playback issue with iTunes for Windows. I am using Vista and I think the cause of the problem is that I am using MacDrive to access my OS X partition. But anyways, on with the problem. So the problem is that when I play a song, the song will play for like 5 seconds and then it will just go the next song. This song will do the same thing, and so-on and so-forth. Then, during this time, my Mac formatted hard drive is unavailable while iTunes is running. In "My Computer" the drive is there, but when I try to open it, Explorer freezes. Then, when I exit iTunes, it doesn't really exit. It still shows up in the task manager and when I try to end the process, it just plain doesn't end. I have to restart my computer to gain full use of it again. After the restart I can access my Mac disks, but once I start iTunes and try to play a song, I get the same thing again. And in case thats not weird enough, I can play the MP3's in WMP fine, and they will also play in iTunes fine if I actually open them, rather than just select them from my library. If I go to file open and select a song on my Mac drive, it will play fine, but then once I try to play a song from my library, I get caught in that vicious cycle. Anyone else had this problem or anything? Thanks. Also, is there an alternative program to Mac Drive that will allow me to read HFS partitions?

Post more about your situation... what format is the video, and where are you storing the video files? i.e., on a disk other than your startup disk? The adobe install is likely not the problem... I run adobe software along side FCS on about 75 workstations, and don't see issues like you describe.
Wavy? not accurate? what are you talking about?

ITunes 10.6/Quicktime 7 1080p playback issue/frame skipping

I have a playback issue with the 1080p videos on the recent version of iTunes - 10.6. I also tried playing the same videos on Quicktime where I was able to find that the videos were playing at around 20fps as opposed to their normal rate - 24fps~25fps.
I seem to barely meet the 1080p playback requirements on iTunes, but I know that I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Window Media Player(WMP) 12 without any issues. Aside from WMP, I'm able to watch 1080p videos on Youtube whenever hardware acceleration is enabled. I assume that WMP utilizes hardware acceleration as well.
The playback issue/frame skipping is probably caused by iTunes 10.6 not using hardware acceleration.

WINDOWS VISTA ITUNES VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUE!!!!!! AAHHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!!!!!!!!

am using a Dell XPS GEN 5 PC with Windows Vista Premium Edition as the current OS installed. I have latested up date for Itunes and QuickTime (7.1.6) Installed. I have recently bought and downloaded 3 of the Original Star Trek Tv Shows from Itunes. When I try and play one of them, they don't work. The Screen comes up, the show starts, then stops. Sometimes the sound keeps on playing, and then stops. Sometimes it just dosent even come on. I'm guessing (as a highly advanced Windows PC User) That this ia a "video/playback issue, related to a Apple/Vista Compatibility problem. I would like help solving this problem.

hi slideaway!
my computer has a right proper meltdown, switching itself off and restarting to a "Windows has recovered from a serious error" sort of message.
good lord. are you getting any sort of blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.
