Why do I get choppy playback in Adobe Premiere Pro cs6?

The playback is really choppy.
What I am using:
(Brand New) iMac
Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675MX 1024 MB
Nikon D5100 DSLR
Shot in 1080i 30 fps
Thanks

I cannot believe how bad the playback is in Premiere Pro CC, and, how little help there is out there. Raw MOVs from a 5D plays back like garbage on my laptop or 8 core Mac Pro. Its ridiculous. I'm better off transcoding to ProRes and using FCP which works, or God forbid, go back to using Avid like its 1999. Unfortunately It has nothing to do with the two graphic cards or 32 gigs of memory I have either, it just plays back like garbage. Using the JKL keys is completely awkward because the lag between hitting the key and playback is excruciating. I'm at 1/2 resolution and it cant play back footage without being choppy. no FX, and the footage and hardrive is on a 6g SSD. This should be screaming.
Adobe, seriously, live up to your other products standards, they are so good, why does this one just bomb?

No playback in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

Hello,
I am learning from a training book for Adobe Premiere CS6 using a trial version, and there is always a problem with playback where the clips don't play when I press space bar or the j,k, and L keys. I am using the minimum requirements on my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 and I understand it's not good to edit from USB which I am doing. However, is there any way to fix this playback issue? Sometimes it plays when I change the audio hardware settings.
Thanks,
Victor Vazquez

"Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 has stopped working" but was working fine a week ago...

On my desktop (Dell XPS 8300), I keep getting the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 has stopped working" when openng up a previously created project or trying to create a new one in Premiere Pro CS6.
On my laptop (MS Surface Pro 2), I can load projects and edit them, but I cannot export media. When I try, it just sits there and does nothing. I've also tried sending it to Media Encoder, but that doesn't help either. Sometimes, it crashes too.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on both with the latest updates installed.
Oddly, this started roughly around the same time on both computers.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, but that didn't help.
I've run the Windows troubleshooter and that didn't help either.
I've tried running as an administrator, and running the program in compatibility mode for Windows 8, 7 and Vista - that doesn't solve the issue either.
At this point, I can't do any work and am even considering paying for CC even though I just dropped $700 on CS6 last year, but I'm wondering if that would even solve the issue, or if the CC version would also not work...

>started roughly around the same time on both computers
Most likely cause is a Windows update that changed "something" about the video system
Check the vendor site (NOT Windows update) for a newer video driver

Why Do I get Choppy Playback in Premiere Pro CS6

Before upgrading from CS5.5 to CS6 I wiped my computer and started from scratch. When editing 4 angles in CS5.5 I never had any problems with playback... even after adding titles, effects..
In CS6 I have my 4 files set into a multicam sequence but when I play back and start cutting from cam to cam it gets choppy.
I am running:
Windows 7 64bit
On a Dell Studio XPS 9100
Intel Core i7 930 @ 2.80GHz
12.0 GB Ram
ATI Radeon HD 5800
I have my memory preferences in PR set to 12 GB Installed, Ram for other aps = 3 Ram fpr PR 9GB, and it set to performance
Any help to speed up and render this proper would be great, Still have to add color correction, titles, logo.

The 1st update came out today. Downloading now. Looks like it should fix my old problems... fingers crossed
What's new in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 6.0.1:
May 26th, 2012
Features added or changed in this update:
· Improved performance using OpenCL, especially when used on Mac OSX v10.7.4 or later.
· Added encoding presets with additional bit-rate settings for XDCAM HD.
· Added Automatic Peak File Generation preference in the Audio category for turning off automatic peak file generation for imported audio. By default, this preference is enabled and matches the behavior of Premiere Pro CS6 (6.0.0).
· When this preference is disabled, importing audio or opening projects will not cause peak files to be generated. If peak files were already generated, then waveforms will be visible. Files imported before the preference was disabled will continue to generate peak files.
· Enabled “smart rendering” and added Enable Smart Rendering Codec setting to the Video tab of the MXF OP1a exporters for XDCAM HD and XDCAM EX to enable or disable smart rendering for these formats. This option defaults to the off/disabled state. We’ll have more information about this feature in a post on this blog within a day.
Bugs fixed in this update:
· Start timecode was not imported or exported correctly when working with AAF files.
· Some files from the Canon 5D Mark III camera were imported with the wrong timecode.
· Playing/viewing waveforms in the Source Monitor caused audio dropouts with some XDCAM HD clips.
· NTSC MXF OP1a files that were exported with drop-frame timecode had video data that was tagged as non-drop-frame.
· Switching the Renderer project setting from Mercury Playback Engine Software Only to Mercury Playback Acceleration GPU Acceleration on a computer using OpenCL caused Premiere Pro to crash under some circumstances. Switching between the two settings on a computer using CUDA would in some cases cause problems with video and/or audio playback.
· Crash when using full-screen, cinema mode on some computer systems.
· Tape capture was not working correctly with some third-party systems.
· Crash when capturing from tape using some BlackMagic hardware.
· An extra, black frame was included at the end of the output when exporting to P2 MXF in some circumstances.
· First two frames were being played twice on external monitor using Matrox MXO2.
· Crash when using “hover scrub” with Matrox MXO2.
· Audio/video synchronization was off by a few frames when playing video on external monitor.
· The Export Frame button was not exporting the correct frame, instead exporting a frame one or two frames away from the current frame.
· Some audio files and some MXF files would go offline or have their audio reconformed when the project was re-opened or when Premiere Pro was minimized or lost focus.
· Crash when modifying an effect property while playback was occurring.
· Hang/freeze when using a dissolve transition on an adjustment layer.
· Dropped frames and audio/video synchronization issues when exporting to tape using some third-party hardware.
· Information about dropped frames on output to tape was not accessible to third-party systems.
· Some QuickTime files were imported with the wrong field order.
· When audio was sent through a Mercury Transmit plug-in, any number of channels that was not 2 or 6 was treated as mono.
· In HDV editing mode, File > Export > Tape could not be used with third-party hardware.
· The current-time indicator (playhead) was not returning to the current time after using the Play Around command.
· Last several frames of output when exporting to tape were black.
· When encoding a 23.976 fps video to H.264, the duration of the video in the output .m4v file was too short, and audio drifted out of synchronization with the video.
· Transparency (alpha channel) information from a dynamically linked After Effects composition was rendered incorrectly in Premiere Pro.
· Importing some QuickTime OP1a files caused Premiere Pro to hang.
· The duration of the audio track sent to SpeedGrade using the Send To SpeedGrade command was the length of the entire Premiere Pro sequence, not the length of the work area.
· Timecode written to trimmed clips using the Project Manager did not match the source timecode for some QuickTime files.
· Various other crashes.

Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage?

Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage? I import my footage into the project like normal. I drag it to the source monitor on the left hand side to set in and out points then I drag it to the time line. The footage drops into the time line with no problem but when I go to play the footage in the time line it plays back on the source monitor and not on the program monitor like it is suppose to. Other times ill drag the clip to the time line and trim it there and it will be fine and show up on the program monitor. Then ill go try to set a clip to have in and out points (which is suppose to show up in the source monitor) but it shows up in the program monitor. The clip is not even in the time line it should not be on that monitor! I have updated the program to the late update. I have re installed the program numerous times and I have even ran the Adobe Clean up program. Couldn't find much on this problem. Please help thank you! I have a PC. My computer is also way over the recommended minimum specifications to have the program installed on.

Definitive Answer (I believe): It's all about this setting, "Write XMP ID To Files On Import" - which confirms that Adobe Premiere Pro is deliberately modifying the .mov file: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html#WSE3BD4A43-7022-4fe6-97F5-95313 935347B
These posts give some background as to why having this setting enabled would be beneficial: one benefit being to be able to skip conforming files by matching the conformed file with the original using the embedded XMP tag :-

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Playback Unusable-PLAYBACK ISSUES

Hello,
I've just downloaded the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Trial, but whenever I put a clip in the sequence timeline, the playback stops after a second or so. I filmed my screen to show the problem (computer specs at the end of the video).Is it because the sequence settings do not match the clip's properties? I'm also new to Adobe Premiere.
Here's the video:

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, Toshiba Qosmio and GoPro issues...

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and GOPRO hero 3 mp4 videos. I am getting choppy play back and choppy scrubbing. My current setup is a Toshiba Qosmio x875-Q7390 Laptop. The laptop has an i7 processor, 16 gigs of ram, Nivida GTX670M video card with CUDA and 3 gigs of deticated ram, 2- 1TB HD's at 5,400 rpm and 4 3.0 USB ports. For setting up my scatch discs I use the C drive for software, the D drive for video and an external USB 3.0 device for playback. I did notice that Adobe doent have the drivers for my video card (so using the full potential of my card is not gonna happen), and my hard drives may be on the slow side, but play back is way slow and choppy just like on my older Toshiba i5 sattelite. If I replace my drives with 7200 rpm's will this help? Oh I forgot to mention that my C drive is a hybrid so a few gigs are solidstate.

You still want to apply the hack in order for Premiere Pro to use your card for GPU acceleration.
With Premiere Pro closed, delete the following file. Then reopen Premiere Pro and in Project Settings, ensure that you have it set for CUDA.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 classroom in a book lesson files "file format not supported" error message

Hey y'all. I have the creative Suite cloud membership and am learning Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have the latest update. I have an iMac, version 10.8.2 and have been going through the lessons 1-8 so far from the 'Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Classroom in a book' with no problems. So far so good. Then, when I opened Lesson 9 project today, I realized that certain media was off line (see pic below-videos and maps) even though I had been able to open the project. I tried to see if it was a link issue but was unable to select the 'Link Media' option and the system did not give me the option to link media when opening a new project. The strange thing is that I am now able to open some lessons with everything working fine but when I try to open other lessons such as lesson 9 or 10 or 11 I notice media files offline after getting the "file format not supported" pop-up error message when attempting to open a project. It's random as some lessons I had opened previously now give this error message of file format not supported when they didn't in the past whilst others work. I have deleted all the lesson files from my hard drive and reinstalled them from the cd onto my hardrive but the issue persists. Any idea as to why all of a sudden Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 is giving the error message "File format not supported"??? when opening the lessons. I have not changed any preferences. I've included some screenshots though I don't know how much help they will be... Is anyone else running into this issue??? Can anyone help???
NEVERMIND. I FOUND OUT ON MY OWN WHAT THE ISSUE WAS AND IS NOW FIXED. YAY!

Why were you trying to link a file in the project to the project file itself? Shouldn't it be a video file or something? Like .mov .wav .avi .mp4 and not .prproj

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when making edits

I everyone. I migrated to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (I need to finish a couple of project before I can update the computer to CC and Mac OS 10.8.) and it's been crashing right from the begining. It's a random crash but my impression that it becomes more probable as the projects grow.
It happens whenever I'm editing and I press the shortcut for "overwrite" or "insert". (It also happens when I press the icon or move the clip to the timeline)
The screen message I get is this one:
The log message that I get afterwards goes as follows:
On previous days, I've been able to keep working just by deleting the Media database preview files from Premiere but it's not working anymore.
I'm working with XMF files shot with a Canon C300 synced using premiere to sound files (.wav). It only happens when I try to edit but it doesn't matter if I try to edit sound, sound and image or just image.
What it doesn't make sense is that it says something about "dynamic lynk" and, as far as I know, I'm not using dynamic link at all.
Thanks in advance for your time and wisdom

Now, a few updates after a very long night (just in case it might help somebody)
Up until last night, I was saving my Premiere Projects in a Dropbox Folder inside my computer. It was a quick safe way of having a backup copy. Well, it seems that the crash is somehow related. Don't ask me why but once I moved the project file to a regular hard drive (actually a RAID0 where I keep my heavier files) the crashes have stopped.
This morning I went back to the dropbox idea with a new project and -Voilá!- after three hours of work, it crashed again. I moved the file to the RAID disk and no more crashes. My guess is that it is somehow related to the auto-save files that premiere keeps saving. Once it reaches a certain amount (around 20 in my experience) dropbox and Premiere start to do something weird and they crash the software... (It might be related to the software dropbox uses to keep your folders updated and keep backup versions of everything)
I'll run a few tests next week trying to keep the Auto-save files out of dropbox and just the regular files there to see what happens.
Best regards
Jaime

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when importing HDV Video

For some reason I keep getting crashes when importing HDV (720p60) video into the timeline of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. This has happened on two different machines, with similar specs.
Per the suggested guidelines, here are the specifics:
Version of Premiere Pro: CS6, Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC:264587))
All updates have been installed.
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.8.5.
Source footage: HDV 720p60 video in .MOV container.
Full text of error message: "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
Link to full crash report: http://goo.gl/Gn8Bzn
Crash occurs when trying to import HDV .MOV file.
This is a consistent problem when importing .MOV files of this type.
Complete Adobe Creative Suite is installed. Also using Episode Pro encoding software from Telestream to prepare HDV video. No other external video hardware or codecs installed.
Yes, I am using the Mecury Playback Engine GPU acceleration.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me figure this one out.

NVIDIA GPUs for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 | NVIDIA and Adobe Solutions | Adobe TV

Sean Kilbride from NVIDIA talks about how Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and NVIDIA GPUs were used in the editing of the Heavy Hand music video.
http://adobe.ly/QaVPwR

I'm playing around with the trial of CS6 right now. At first I wasn't getting the option to use GPU rendering until I added my card to the supported list (GeForce GTX 670). Unfortunately my playback is still laggy, just like when it was on software mode. I'm trying to watch 1080 video that I recorded using software on my computer.
I have an i5 2500k at 4.3GHz, 8GB ram, and two 670s in SLI.
I have premiere pro cs6 running on my main SSD, and my scratch disks set to my single platter 7200 RPM hdd. In the past on CS5 I was able to have my scratch disks set to the drives I have the original files on with no lag.
What can I do to get smooth playback?

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Freezes/Stops Responding No Matter What I Do. Any ideas?

My Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 keeps freezing or not responding (pin wheel of death).
This problem started happening 3 weeks ago.
There is no one thing that triggers it, but it does seem to happen more often when trying to read my media from the media browser. Sometimes I get an application error report, and other times I don't.
This happens whether I start a new project, or work in an existing one.
I would appreciate any help the community can provide. I've tried just about everything I could find online from changing random system configurations like language to completely re-installing the software.
Please let me know if there is any additional information I can provide.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Crashing

I've seen some discussions on this but not on the exact problem I've been having, which is my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 always crashes when I'm layering either two videos or two audio tracks on top of each other. If I stack two files and then scrub, then it immediately crashes every single time. I've never had a problem with CS5.5 when doing such an operation.
Help!
Canon 7D Footage
1080P 24fps
ESata Externanl HDD
Windows 7 Ultimate
Core i7
12 GB ram

I am having a similar issue that I have nailed down to two specific audio tracks. When I play audio on these particular tracks, which have Compressor and Denoise plugins on the track mixer, I get the crash error. Understand, the Compressor and Denoise effects are not on the audio itself. When I move the audio up to the adjacent tracks above, there is no crash or error, but of course, I don't get the effects that I desire.
I solved the problem by right clicking and "Remove Audio Effects..." of which I had a 6 db boost in "Volume". I made up the gain on the Compressor plugin on the track.
FWIW I also get the "Audio filters missing" pop-up when I open the project. This stems from me creating audio presets, applying them to files, and then the preset effects are unable to be recalled when I re-open the project.
I am in Premiere cs6 on a 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i5 iMac running OSX 10.8.2 w/ 4 GB of RAM.
Hope this helps...
