Video doesn't keep up with scrubber

I've just moved from PPro 1.5 to PPro CS4. I installed CS4 on a new Gateway Laptop with 4Gigs RAM and P8400 Intel CPU on Vista 64-bit.
As I move the scrubber across the timeline or in the Project Source window, the video isn't able to keep up with the scrubber. As I move the scrubber the video tends to freeze for a few seconds and then will suddenly jump forward to the point of my scrubber. It does this consistently.
I'm currently editing sports videos to isolate highlights of one specific athlete. I'd like to pull the scrubber across fairly quickly as I look for the athlete, but it's almost impossible. I'm basically having to let the video run in realtime and stopping it when I need to. Since I have hours and hours of video to go through this is not good.
I wasn't having this problem on my old HP Media Station with Pentium D with 512 Megs RAM. I would encounter this to some degree but not nearly as severe as what I'm experiencing now. I moved my 5 external hard drives from my old PC to my new Laptop. They are connected via a USB 2.0 hub. They were connected to my old PC via USB 1.x ports or a 1.x hub.
As a test, I did play a couple of the captured AVI clips outside of PPro CS4 in Windows Media Player and Media Player Classic. They tend to be choppy there, too. I ran the Vista disk defrag utility on one of my external drives last night - it took about 9 hours - but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Does anyone that understands this better than me have any suggestions on how I can fix or minimize this problem?
Thanks,
Dan

Your issue is similar to mine. I posted it differently however. I noticed that timeline scrubbing behaves the same as yours when audio scrubbing is enabled.
As a test turn off the audio scrubbing feature under the audio tab in preferences. If you experiencing the same problem as mine then the timeline will respond very quickly displaying everyframe. As long as you dont need to hear the audio when scrubbing that would solve your present dilemma.
I also found that there seems to be a bottleneck using an external media drive. I copied a file that was performing slow to my internal SATA system drive, put it on the timeline and it scrubs perfectly even with audio scrubbing enabled.
This same external drive performed fine on a slower PC with Premiere Pro 2.0. I am about to add an internal 1 terabyte SATA drive as my media drive. If I am correct this will resolve my problem.
By the way, I am using a 7200 RPM external drive with a firewire connection. If you are using a USB 2 cable your bottleneck would probably be greater. I'll leave an update if the new internal drive does the trick.

  • TS2034 video doesn't keep up with sound

    I have downloaded videos from my i phone onto my i mac.  The sound is coming through good, but the video itself is choppy and doesn't keep up with the sound.. Any ideas?

  • Ipod audio doesn't keep up with video! help!

    ok. ive got a 60 gig. ipod with a imtoo file converter. almost every time i convert, the file's audio doesn't keep up with the video. for example, at the end of the movie, the audio keeps playing! help plz.

    "I think the best one to use is called videora."
    Maybe you should first visit "Videora's" Website and read the Bug list...Things that are not correct":
    Known Bugs
    Audio/Video sync
    Problem - Output files can be out-of-sync. While no set pattern has been established, it seems to be more frequent with input files of 23.976 fps, non-DVD rips, and WMV/MPG filetypes.
    Workaround solutions - Try the custom option '-async 1'. If the disconnect gradually increases over time, setting 29.97 fps sometimes gets rid of the problem regardless of the input fps. You can also use AviSynth to assume the FPS and have the audio sync to that. If it's a sudden disconnect, check your VOB Cell settings in DVD Decrypter settings per this thread. Otherwise, test with an AviSynth script per the DaProphecy's method in the FAQ. For non-DVD files, PSPVideo 9 may be a good short-term solution until the converter stabilizes some more or try something like AviDemux.
    Audio track not getting picked up
    Problem - The IFO stream rip is fine, but the converted file has no sound. The debug info showed to audio track getting picked up. The most obvious case with this is the Madagascar DVD.
    Workaround solution ideas - Test with an AviSynth script per the DaProphecy's method in the FAQ (untested). Use a different DVD ripper.

  • Vaio tap 11 doesn't keep up with clock

    the lastest of my problems with this tap model number svt11226cxb is after wake up from sleep the system time is always behind of minutes or even hours, i checked the bios and shows the same time, if its the cmos battery that needs replacement im screwed, how do i change it in such a compact device??

     
    Hi ewhorf, 
    If you're having issue with the system time, it is possible that you need to replace the RTC battery or CMOS battery. Yes, your unit should have the RTC battery. 
    Kindly try to reset BIOS first and check if this will resolve the issue. Just follow the steps here: https://us.en.kb.sony.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44078/c/65,66/kw/BIOS
    Since this unit is a compact device what we advise is to visit Sony's Authorized Service Center for further assistance. I'll send you a private message regarding this matter. 
    Thanks,
    Vincent

  • Typing doesn't keep up with me

    I couldn't find this particular problem in a search of this forum, so I thought I'd post it: many times (but not always) typing in Mail is extremely slow. I can type a couple of characters, then the program just hangs for a few moments, then catches up to my typing. Mail is the only application in which this occurs. Anyone have an idea what to do about this, short of waiting for Leopard to fix it?
    -Dennis

    I've been searching this forum and the web for awhile looking for a fix. I have a fairly new computer and probably only about 2 housand of messages.
    When I type, I have to wait on Mail to catch up to me which which is very frustrating! I finally found the answer here:

    You have to be comfortable with Terminal though (or at least willing to take the risk) of trying something new.

  • Bug, 4.1- Filmstrip doesn't keep up with current image

    I have the filmstrip set to auto hide/show. As I browse through my library, I'll pick an image to work on in Develop. I may then want to work on an adjacent image. Instead of going back to the library to select it, I want to hover over the film strip and select the image that is 1 or 2 away from the current one.
    Fail.
    When I first hover over the filmstrip, it shows my current location but then quickly slides to a different part of the strip. Usually no where near where I'm working. I haven't been able to determine a pattern. Sometimes it will go to the beginning, sometimes the end. Sometimes to an image I was working on the last time I closed Lightroom (if I am still in that folder).
    I need the filmstrip to follow me as I move through a set of images. Otherwise it is useless. I don't remember having this problem in 3.x
    Anyone else?
    Thanks- Paul

    This is weird: I just went back to work and the filmstrip followed me. Grrr... I wish I could find a pattern.

    One thing: make sure sorting is by something other than edit time, or edit count... (e.g. capture time, or filename).

    If it happens again the make sure that you aren't suppressing website colors.
    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

  • I want to create an external video widget with iAd. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.

    i want to create an external video widget with iAd to use in an iBook. I followed the steps and copied the Url and paste it in the Video pop-up menu in the Properties section of the inspector. When i select 'preview' the video doesn't play and the Url that i pasted is gone.
    hope someone can help!

    May have something to do with whether or not the URL can be reached while building your widget.  I've got a video on the web. When I enter the URL into the field for the video object and click to another field,  the URL is replaced with some text indicating that it is accessing the video then updates itself to displaying just the name of the video file.
    It shows just fine in preview and I can see the full path to the video when I export the widget so it should work for you. 
    Is the video accessible from your Mac while you're laying out your widget?

  • Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?

    Hi. I have a OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 Mac Book Air, Processor 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?
    The video starts out fine, but if I click on the expand icon in the lower right corner of the screen the audio won't keep up.
    Refreshing the page don't help at all. In fact, nothing seems to help once it starts.
    I did not have this problem at all using Mavericks. The problem started after installing Yosemite.
    Any way to fix it?

    only $99, i thought it was closer to $175.

  • Ipod freezes video but audio keeps on going!

    Hi I have a 5th generation 32 gb iPod touch in the colour blue running IOS 7.1.2 and I noticed that whenever I'm on the web watching a video on a website, in the middle of the video the video freezes and audio keeps on going. It's honestly really annoying and when I watch the same thing on my computer it works just fine. Some people have the same problem with youtube but I don't. It works fine for me. I know it's my ipod doing it but how can I solve this problem? I've tried resetting my ipod ( holding the home button and sleep/wake button until the apple logo appears) And connecting to a different network. What can I do to solve my problem??? It's so annoying!!!!!

    Close Safari (double press home button and swipe Safari up) and go to Settings > Safari > Clear History & Clear Cookies and Data. On your computer, open http://www.howtogeek.com/113439/how-to-change-your-browsers-user-agent-without-i nstalling-any-extensions/  and follow the instructions on the browser you use. Change the setting to the iPhone with the latest available OS on your computer. Now go to the website that is having the issues and if the video doesn't play fine, then its the website and if it doesn't then restore your iPod with iTunes and try again.

  • Update fails and Embedded Youtube videos doesn't load

    Problem 1: All update (beta, RC) fails in my computer. After download, when I click in apply button, Firefox closes and a process "firefox.exe"starts with (~2.800 kB) and nothing happens. Every time and every versions in my 2 computers (Vista and Seven). It occurs since ~10 version (9, 10, 11... i don't remember.
    When I download the exe from Mozilla, the update works.
    Problem 2: Since the ~10 version or flash version, mostly embedded youtube videos doesn't load in firefox (in all pcs again). In youtube site it works, but embedded only shows a black square. In Google Reader it occurs all the time.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
    See:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Server+not+found
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firewalls
    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version of the Firefox installer.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    *Firefox 15.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox

    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
    If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

  • Video doesn't work when calling from Jabber to DX650

    Hi,
    I just added a DX650 to our CUCM 9.1.2. When I call from either Jabber to the DX650 or Lync to DX650, the video doesn't work and the call is audio only. The message i'm seeing on Jabber is something like "the other endpoint is not accepting video." Sorry i don't remember the exact message. Has anyone seen this issue before? Thanks!

    Lync is not standards based and has proprietary codecs for video. You will need a Expressway with the MS Interop key to get video both ways.
