Unable to play back entire sequence in CS4

I'm transitioning from FCP to Premiere and am having an odd issue with a project. I cut up a clip with the razor blade tool, copied it a few times, reversed some in the speed/duration panel and arranged them in a sequence. I then rendered the entire work area. However, when I try to play back my sequence, it just plays less than a second and then the marker on the timeline returns to the original point. I feel stupid asking this, but...uh, how do I just play back my entire sequence? I must be missing something here.
Thanks,
Zach

Thanks for the suggestion. I thought this could have been the problem as the files are on a different disk from the application, but launching premiere as root yields the same issue. The option to repair permissions on the secondary drive (where the files are located) is greyed out in Disk Utility, possibly because I disabled permissions for everything on that disk. I even tried logging in as a user on that drive and launching Premiere, but then I get a "media pending" screen in the program window.
Any more ideas?

Qosmio G30-153 HD DVD error message - Unable to play back

After 6 months of great HD DVDV viewing (well four actual playing times) I now am unable to play any HD DVD's but instead get a message saying "Unable to play back. Please restart the computer. event code: 6".
Have deleted Toshiba HD DVD programme and reloaded from 'Drivers and Tools' back-up CD but to no avail.
Audio CD's and std DVD's work ok, just not HD DVD's. Sometimes I get a black screen, the little control panel shows something iis playing .e. the indicater moves left to right, but no audio is heard.
Is the disc player components of these laptops prone to failure?
Any advice gratefully accepted.

Same thing happened to my machine. Although "chronicles of Riddick" plays fine. I bought "Bourne" collection and get that error message on all 3 discs so I think it has to do with security coding on the DVD itself. I bought this machine for to be able to play these things.
Hope someone out there can help.

I'm unable to play the entire iTunes library, just by artist only.

I've moved my iTunes Library to an external drive, but they are not categorized like before and I'm unable to play the entire library, just by artist only.

I'm not sure what you have done so far. The best way to move your iTunes library from an internal drive to an external is to copy the entire iTunes folder out to the external, and then change which library iTunes opens using the technique in this article: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.
If you've split the library so that your database files are still on the internal drive, but your media is on the external, then you will need to move/copy the library files and reconnect to them before deleting the originals on your internal.

Unable to play back real instrument tracks

greetings - i've been working on a song in Garage Band for a couple of years. the back story is that this file has grown to 2.5GB in size (all my other GB files are a lot less). it has about 10 real instrument tracks and 6 software tracks. Yesterday while working on the file a strange thing started happening; the first (of 3) software piano track started playing back intermittently with a bunch of reverb; i had not requested that it have reverb. i tried removing reverb, i tried soloing and unsoloing, muting and unmuting, and sometimes that would get rid of the reverb. so that was anomaly #1 yesterday. Finally, after finishing the session and saving/ closing the file, i wanted to make a backup copy so did command-D. Possible anomaly #2: when the original file and the backup file names appeared in the window, i renamed both; then i realized that the Mac was still in the process of copying the file; so i don't know if that renaming introduced a problem. Once the backup was finished, i opened the file (and the backup file, subsequently), and the REAL instrument tracks (plus the first midi piano track i laid down) NO LONGER MAKE ANY SOUND. the software drums, flute, and pianos 2&3 play back; the vocal sounds like the reverb is playing back but not the original track (i assigned basic female reverb to the vocal track). Everything visually still seems to be present in the file - all the details of instrument, level, pan, etc. but i'm getting no sound from the real instrument tracks or the 1st software piano track. i have TRIED all the suggestions for optimizing performance given in GB help. i am stuck and truly hope my arrangement will once again sound! many thanks in advance for any suggestions; Matthew Allen

try toggling the Ducking menuItem, that's solved some similar issues
(and you can safely ignore the post about 8 tracks, it's not relevant)

Premiere Pro is playing back my sequence at high speed. I do not want this.

I don't know what keyboard shortcut I must have accidentally hit, but I can't get it to play back at normal speed. I did not speed up any clips, so I'm assuming there's some easy way to disable this speedy playback that I just can't seem to find. Anyone?

Hi,
Right click on the clip and choose 'Speed/Duration'
Check if it is playing back at 100% or something else. The default shortcut would be to press Ctrl+R on Windows and Command+R on Mac.
Thanks!

Play back probl

I am unable to play back certain songs from the nano plus to my computer. Songs that I recorded directly from the cd work ok, but the pre-loaded songs will not play, nor will others that were recorded from music files from a friends computer. Any thoughts?

PB, What makes the nano and micro different in the aspect of the subscription service. Why am I able to use Yahoo to go for the micro? So in other words for the nano I would have to purchase individual songs from yahoo or napster in order for it to load to the nano? I am sorry for these questions, but I am a real beginner in this world and do not understand why they would require different music resources. Thanks in advance for all your help.

CS4: Hangs When Playing Back Stills

Can anyone reproduce this:
Sequence is AVCHD, 720p... I've inserted a couple of pictures from my digital camera along with a couple of short movie clips (camera: Panasonic DMC-FT1)...
After inserting a couple of stills into the sequence, when playing back those stills I can't stop playback until playhead has either reached one of the movie clips of end of sequence.
Is this a bug of the current version (version 4.2.1)?

I have sporadically seen a very similar problem with stills in Premiere
CS4 when editing both mini DV footage and P2 footage. It seems to
be related to project complexity and not to a particular type of footage.
It seems to happen more often if I have a lot of large stills that are scaled
and panned as opposed to stills that are exactly frame sized.
When the problem happens, killing Premiere and restarting usually
seems to work ok, so it is not clear what triggers the bug.
I know nothing about the internal architecture of Premiere but it is
clear that there are multiple threads at work when playing from the
timeline and I am guessing that something about playing a lot
of stills causes the thread
that is responsible for listening to the user to "block" forever (wait for
some event that never will happen). So the player thread(s) keep on
playing but you can't stop them. Its unfortunately an all too common
type of bug in complex software and goes by the colorful name of
"deadly embrace" or deadlock.
I have mostly avoided this problem by preparing sequences of stills
in separate projects and importing them into a single final project
near the end of my editing process so as to mimimize the exposure
to situations likely to cause the problem.

CS4: Why do I have Lag on only 1920 1080 video play back??

Hi,
I currently record with a Sanyo Xacti HD2000, at 1920x1080 30fps SHQ resolution. Whenever I play the clips on the camera or Nero Essential 8 on my computer there is no lag problems. However the moment I upload a clip onto Premiere Pro CS4 with this resolution I have severe lag on the play back from the Premiere video screen. I've recorded on 1280x 720 and 640x480 on the camera too and the play back is completley fine with no lag what so ever, just the moment Full HD clips are imported do I get any lag. I don't think it's because my computer can't handle it either as it has in it Core 2 Duo processor, 3GB of Ram and an Overclocked 1GB Geforce 8600 GTS Graphics Card. The only thing I'm not sure about is what Presets I should be using for my footage as this might be the problem.
If ANYONE can help I'd seriously appreciate it, you can email me a [email protected] If you want to further questions about anything you may feel may help you guys helping me or just to communicate to me faster;
Thank you sooo much!!!

Hi,
I dont think the gpu of your graphics overclocked card is used at all in the cs4 environment...thats more for gaming stuff.
so you can rule that out as a "plus"
The 3 gig ram is kinda anemic...low power...every gig helps...so 4 would be better...think about it...the OS alone uses a lot of ram..
the power requirements that adobe says you need to run the program is on the low end of requirements...and you are maxing things out playing with real high HD stuff.
everything else is a question of how you set up your hard drives and raid array and so on to deal with editing in general ( there are hardware threads about how to set that up best....scratch disk and so on...cache...)
plus you might have a red bar above your timeline indicating it should be "rendered" for smoother playback...and that has an effect too.

By courtesy of R_Kelly:
The 150:30 error means licensing broke.
Two ways to fix this: If you are used to the Terminal app, you download the license recovery package and following instructions carefully, you use the python script in the package. Error "Licensing has stopped working" | Mac OS
If for some reason it doesn't, reinstall CS4 from your discs, or download the CS4 installer here.

PPro CS4 won't play back

Suddenly video in Premiere Pro CS 4.0.0 for Mac won't play back from source window, program window, or timeline, except for an occasional playback of < 1 second. Scarily this was described by a bunch of users in a thread started two years ago. Only one solution was offered there, which didn't apply to my Mac.
I was involved in another thread on a related subject in this forum once before but that setup seemed connected to the use of a Dazzle Bridge for capturing. There's no such complication now...it's just not playing any video more than a few frames.
An editor who can't playback any video is in trouble, and after paying as much as I did for this program and a Mac Pro, it is disheartening. Any ideas out there?

I appreciate everyone's help but I'm afraid the situation has gone from bad to worse, since Premiere suddenly disappeared.
Yesterday, following one bit of forum advice, I tried using a separate user account labeled Premiere Pro and the program did play the files--though it wouldn't let me save the project file where it resided. Now, however, the program is nowhere to be found. I have the original installation disk but I have heard of problems arising from reinstallations.
To answer some other questions, I did try to download the latest update for PPro CS4. I am using PPro for Mac on a Mac Pro with a 10.5.8 OS. I can't say for certain exactly which version I "have" of PPro CS 4 since the update because the program has disappeared and is not turning up in the Finder anywhere, nor can I recall the exact wording of the error message saying I couldn't save my project as edited under the alternate user. The program and system worked fairly problem free for almost four years before the last few days. I use a variety of source footage, including .avi, .mov, .flv, .mp3, .wav.
One Snow Leopard user has recommended using a Root User account which doesn't seem to apply here. For example, he referred to a "Network Account User" option that was supposed to appear in Accounts/Login Options but doesn't on my Leopard. Also, as per another user at Trafford College, I revised permissions to select Everyone...however since the program isn't appearing on my computer, there's no telling if that worked.
Community help is greatly appreciated--especially in light of one forum report of someone who was on the phone with Adobe for hours with this kind of problem but without getting it solved.

New image sequence will not play back in real time.

I built a image sequence of 300 stills (jpegs) and when I ask it to build it at 30fps I can't get quicktime to play it back at that speed. I can barely get the software to play back at .25fps. I just bought the software to assemble consecutive stills from my DSLR and after spending 2 hours on the phone with apple I found out they offer no support for windows users.Is there another software out there that anyone could recommend that edits together stills to form a movie. Any Help is appreciated.

Premiere is showing multiple drivers, including an old Creative ASIO driver... but I ran a cleaner last year to remove it (not sure why Premiere is still listing this??). I also have a Matrox MXO2 LE Max installed, which I believe installs an audio driver as well.
I'm not sure what you mean by "check with system default"? There is nothing in the Premiere audio hardware preferences that mentions a "default" of any kind.
Again, this makes absolutely no sense as I've not had any issues for years and worked on this last night... turn on computer today and suddenly it won't play audio in Premiere?!
Anyway, in my audio hardware preferences:
- I have always had Adobe Desktop Audio set to Premiere Pro WDM Sound. The dropdown list there gives me the options of: Premiere Pro WDM Sound, Xonar Essence ST ASIO 64 (my audio card), Creative ASIO, Matrox ASIO Driver for Premiere Pro.
- Map Output for has always been set to Adobe Desktop Audio (Matrox Player is my other choice).
- Even when selecting Premiere Pro WDM Sound, it always displays the Speakers below as "Speakers (ASUS Xonar Essence ST Audio Device)"
One further note (not sure if it helps)... as I said, Premiere is showing the audio levels, but if I look at the Windows desktop sound it doesn't show any levels (it normally does). And again... sound is working in every single other program I've tried... INCLUDING Adobe Audition (which has some of the same settings showing as Premiere does!).
So this is definitely an issue within Premiere... I just don't know what else to do. Thanks for assisting!

Iphone 3G has stopped playing video entirely. (will not take play videos taken on the iphone no longer play), unable to transfer to computer either. Says Parameter error when I try to copy or play file

My Iphone 3G has stopped playing video entirely. (will not take play videos taken on the iphone), unable to transfer to computer either. Says Parameter error when I try to copy or play file. very frustrating, not being able to access past videos taken at all. This has been going on for a while now

When I import my files only the audio plays back not the video. If I export the sequence its there?

When I import my files only the audio plays back not the video. If I export the sequence its there?
I am new to Premiere having just downloaded the 30 day trial yesterday, I jumped straight in and imported all of my files from my video camera however in Premiere only the audio plays back with the displays just showing a black space.
Out of curiosity I dragged three or four shots into the sequence editor and then exported them and played this through VLC and the video was there?
As I said I am completely new to Premiere having only spent around 3 or 4 hours with it in the past, I read a few forum threads around similar issues but couldn't find any solutions and as I am trying to edit together a short film for a college project due in soon I need to try and find a way to fix this A.S.A.P
Any help would be appreciated and if theres any more info I can provide please let me know.
Thanks

Insert a clip into a new sequence, the clip will not play back

Macbookpro 8G ram twin 2.5 Intel, 1333 Mhz
I am an experienced editor coming over from AVID. This is my second project attempt in Premiere. First was fine. I imported clips that live on my hard drive. When I make a clip selection, mark the in and out and "insert into a new sequence, the sequence will not play back un less I render it first. I am talking about one (1) shot maybe 3 seconds long. I have done no other edits in the sequence and have added no effects but there is an effect icon on the clip in the sequence, This can't be right. It is not the way it worked for my first test project. It would take 40 hours to edit a 60 second spot… What has happened here?
Footage is 1080p 24fps. Short with a digital DSLR and Files are the same (.mov) as in the first project,

I have exactly the same problem. All of a sudden preview window is not working properly. In some projects it only plays audio with gray screen, in some it doesn't plays at all or plays audio from another projects. Sometimes preview gets frozen with the first frame in the project. I can however play video from Event Library, but without any sound. When I create new project and drag clips from Library, it plays with gray screen and again without sound. Restarting iMovie or Mac is no help. I'm using iMovie 8.0.6
Waiting for help desparatly, thank you
