Video Stutters in Source window, in Playback and in Bridge

I'm using the trial version of Premiere Pro CS5.5, running it on a MacBook Pro: 2.6 GHz Intel Core Duo, 4GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT, 200 GB Hitachi hard drive with 50 GB of hard drive space remaining. My monitor is an Eizo FlexScan SX2262W. I'm editing 1920x1080 HD @ 24fps captured on a DSLR (Nikon D7000). The footage plays fine in Quicktime and also Lightroom, but in Premiere Pro it stutters when played in the source window or on playback, and also when I view it in Bridge. I read one post that suggested rendering the footage. This worked for the footage in playback, but not for the footage in the source window. What is causing the stutter and is there a way around it without having to render everything first?
I'm a still photographer coming to video and am not very techie.

Video both in source window and edit window stops after just a few seconds. It also runs slow after a few seconds.

Video both in source window and edit window stops after just a few seconds. It also runs slow after a few seconds. I don't if the problem is the fact that it;'s a Vimeo down load. Any one got a suggestion as to why?

Premiere Pro won't let me drag an imported video from the Source window to my timeline

I've tried to insert it, but it won't me do that either. It just gives me a "Do not Enter" sign next to my cursor. Any ideas?

It sounds like you have not created a Sequence.
Be sure that your Sequence settings match your footage by doing this:
Or, right-click a media file and select 'New Sequence From Clip".
How do I choose the right sequence settings?

Issues with video/audio playback and Source window

I have some video that I am trying to import to get into my sequence. Anytime I open the video into my source window (or drag it to the timeline), the audio goes crazy. It starts skipping around and jumbling itself. When I open the video file in Quicktime on my computer, it opens and plays fine. Also, I don't know if it is unrelated, but sometimes when I open a video in my Source window, there is no audio. I can drag it to the Sequence and double click on it to bring the Sequence video into the Source window and it plays fine.
The video that I am having issues with is a .mov filmed from an iPad (not sure which iPad model). It is filmed in Portrait mode, not sure if that matters. Please let me know what other information might be needed to troubleshoot this issue.
Thanks!

Ooh. Sorry about that.
- I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 v.6.0.3
- I'm sure I have the latest update. I'm using Creative Cloud, and the Adobe Application Update Manager says everything is up to date.
- Operating System is Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1)
- Source footage is a .mov filmed in portrait mode (I didn't record it.. Haha) on an iPad, not sure the model.
- I am getting no error messages.
- I was just dragging the video file from the Media Browser to the Source window. Nothing special.
- This is working on all of the other clips filmed from the same iPad at same resolution, etc. Also, this particular video plays perfectly in Quicktime. It's just when I try to play it in Premiere Pro.
- Other software that is currently running is standard stuff: antivirus, Outlook, Gtalk, Dropbox. Nothing that uses audio.
- I have installed K-Lite Codec pack when I got the computer.
- I have a Dell Preision T7600, Dual Xeon Quad-core processors (2.00GHz), 16 GBs of ram, Nvidia Quadro 4000 (2GB), and running off of a 256GB SSD.
- I am using the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration.
- The issue is happening on playback, both in the Source window and the Program window when I drag the video to the Sequence. It plays fine in Quicktime.

Playback and rendered video jumps up and down regularly and minutely

A number of the sequences I've edited have a minute but noticible up-and-down movement. For example, see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hely09sD6gY You'll notice that only the video image moves up and down, not any of the still images or the StudioCrasher watermark. I initially thought it was the source video I'd imported, but on a more recent project I've noticed that it also does it with footage from a secondary video camera.
I also note that this doesn't happen on the original source video in Premiere, just in the edit playback and in the exported video. So, it has to be something in Premiere.
I've tried everything, including searching endless discussion boards, but I can't come up with a solution or a work-around.
Any ideas?

Thanks John -- okay, here's my answers:
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).
Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
Software up-to-date.
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
Mac OSX v10.7.5
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".

CS4.2 with Windows 7 playback stutters - any ideas?

My cs3 on xp pro on another computer plays back beautiful streaming video in automatic mode in the playback and timeline windows, but CS4 4.2 on my new core I7, 12 gig ram, 1 gig graphic card ati 4850 plays back a Draft quality in automatic mode with no stutter or slight shifts, but if I switch it to High Quality it looks nice, (Like automatic in CS3) but when there is any movement like turning a head or camera movement it looks like it's skipping frames here and there very subtlely. I've tried turning off and on aero by right clicking on the shortcut, but it does no good. I'd rally apprciate any ideas you may have. I'm only cutting DV files at 29.9. Thank you

First let me say that I have been fighting PrPro CS4 for about 4-5 days now, and only just started reading in here to figure out what i could do to "fix" my problem. I was having all sorts of fits with the playback inside of PrPro freezing and then "not responding." I came across all kinds of posts about computers, memory, drivers and settings, operating systems and all of that. It wasn't until some one that is also having struggles stated that they had a USB drive for unrelated storage did the light go on. So I disconnected my 2 USB drives (one a 250GB desktop Thermaltake drive and the other a 320GB WD My Passport) and loaded up a project that had all been rendered useless. VOLA, working like a charm now. Just like old times, I love my PrPro CS4, where about 2 hours ago I was ready to start working on my resume...lol
Bottom line, don't leave a USB drive hooked up.

CS4 - Source window showing red, black & speed up footage

Hi people
We are editing some HDV footage using PP CS4.
Has all been going well ... but ...
We have captured footage using HDVSplit (to eliminate issue of video and sound getting out of sync) and the footage plays fine thereafter via windows media player and VLC ..
Then using PPs Media Browser to import into the project several things seem to be happening to some clips ..
We are experiencing PARTs of an imported segment of footage are coming up red or black in the source window... and in some instances the source timeline shows the footage compressed (speed up) and with the rest of the segment on the timeline showing diagonal lines. The speed up footage (100 frames per second rather than 25) can be corrected by adjusting the speed, just unsure why it is happening. We haven't found a way to correct the patches of footage which are coming up red or black in the source window.
Welcome any suggestions ..
Kind regards
Jen

Stuttering in certain videos in iTunes for Windows 7 and Windows 8

I have stuttering in certain videos in the most recent version of iTunes in Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 8 64-bit. The two specific videos I am talking about are video podcasts...."Windows Weekly HD", and "Security Now HD". The strange thing is that I can play those videos in Windows Media Player, VLC, Zune, etc, and there is no stuttering at all. I have no issue with stuttering audio with iTunes.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? It is really annoying to have to use other software just to watch certain videos. I appreciate your time.
Also...this has happened on fresh installs of Windows 7 & 8 on the same PC. I have also tried removing and re-installing iTunes, and all of my drivers for my software are updated, and I have all the updates for Windows.

Hello,
Here is an article that discusses an alternative to QuickVPN for Windows 8.

I bought two Seagate 1TB Barracuda drives and installed them as a Raid 0. This did not change the stutter during playback. I contacted the GPU manufacturer and they said to install the latest driver. They have had several updated drivers recently. I have tried each new one as they were releases with no improvement. Nvidia said I can send it in for "warranty repair". I just paid for the GPU card on October 20th. I tried disabling the audio devices. No change.
I need help and do not know what to do next.

When I play a movie through iTunes, audio has no issues but video stutters and skips

Hey everyone,
I have a Dell 17R, Windows 8 64 bit, intel i7-3630QM at 2.4 GHZ, 8gb ram, Nvidia GT-650M at 1920x1080 using driver 320.49
When I play a movie in iTunes, the audio works flawlessly but the video will be smooth for a few seconds, stutter and then skip small 2-3 second spots. I haven't noticed that the parts skipped are any more graphically intense than other spots and there is no discernable pattern.
In the past, I have been able to play movies through iTunes with absolutely no problem but when I downloaded this most recent one a few days ago all of my movies have been experiencing the same issue.
When I stream other videos from other sources I do not experience the same problems as I do when I use iTunes. Streaming 1080P over youtube or a similar services is no issue.
I have updated my video drivers to the latest version as well.
I am at a loss, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

FLV Playback and Seekbar on different native windows in one Air application

Hello Everyone. I'm trying to make a simple video playback AIR application that utilizes the initial native window to house a transport control with a seekbar on it. Once the application launches, it creates a second (new) window on my second screen and places a FLVPlayback instance on that new window. Everything works just like it want it to except for one thing. When the seekbar and FLVplayback instance are not located on the same window stage, the seekbar handle sticks to the mouse when trying to scrub through the video.
I've added both the transport control and the FLVPlayback instance to the original native window as children and I have also added both of them to the new window as children and everything works just fine. It's only when they are separated and located on different stages that the seekbar acts up. When they are on the same stage, I can click on a point on the seekbar and the video jumps to that spot and continues to play and I can also scrub the seekbar, the video updates as I scrub, and when I release the mouse, the seekbar handle stays where I released the mouse. When they on separate stages, the seekbar handle continues to follow the mouse movement without releasing it. The video updates as the seekbar handle is moved due to it sticking to the mouse, but if I release the mouse, the handle is still moving with the mouse and the video is still being scrubbed. Like I said, everything works great except for this and I have reached my limit with time spent on this issue. Does anyone have any insight into this?
Here's my code for the project. This is my first AIR application, so I am coding it as I am learning, please be kind.

Video looks ok in source window but distorted in Program window.

I am trying to work with video clips shot using a Canon XF 305 at 1280 X 720 at 60P FPS. Using the Canon XF utility, I have injested the clips from the card to my hard drive where they are stored as MXF files. Using Premiere’s media browser, I imported them into bins from my hard drive. I set up the sequence to match the clips settings . The video looks fine in the Source window but when I bring over onto the timeline- the same clip looks distorted with artifacts in the program window. I then used Adobe Prelude to convert the MXF files into ProRes 422 LT files with same resolution of 1280 X 720 at 59.94 frames FPS. I used the media browser to bring those pro-res clips into Premier and set up another new sequence to match the clips setting. I get the same problem- the video looks good in the source window but terrible in the program window when I bring them into the timeline. They are completely distorted with artifacts. This is the first time I have tried working with 1280 x 720 60p fps clips. I have successfully worked with 1920 X1080P 30P clips from the same camera with no issues. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong and how to correct my workflow will be appreciated.
I am using a 2009 Intel Mac Pro with Snow leopard 10.6.8

Is your 'Playback and Pause' resolution set to 'Full' for your program monitor?
Also, why not just drag one of the clips to the 'New Item' button at the bottom of the project window to make a sequence with the settings of your clip?

Source window video won't play, only audio - can someone help?

First time on this forum. Using Pr CS4. After capturing DV clip and opening in the source window - if I click on the play button in the source window the video makes a movement like it is going to play but then freezes. The audio from the clip still plays. I can scrub the clip in the souce window just fine. Could it be that I don't have some of the playback settings selected correctly. I should note that I have already put the clip on the timeline.
Thanks,
Gary

Quarter rez is like built-in proxy editing, and works well here. Just follow the workflow guide for the latest version of the RED plug-in.
The new workflow guide says this:
Please note that the presets have been updated. For the new fractional resolution feature to be enabled, you must be using a preset from this release. Pre-existing timelines will need to be copy/pasted into a newly created sequence for the new decode options to become available.
Does that apply to you?
The latest version of the plug-in also has a "new" Source Settings dialog. Format/resolution are now done on-the-fly from the Program Monitor display settings. I include that info only on the off chance that you haven't noticed it yet.
