Why do videos that play great in Premiere play poorly in PS?

When I import a short AVCHD or MPG (~ 1 min., 100 mb) into Premiere Pro CS6 or After Effects CS6, it plays great. When I import the same file into Photoshop CS6 on the same computer, it's jerky, even with sound off, frame skipping enabled, cached, and no other applications running.
I'd never use Photoshop to edit my own videos, but I have to teach this stuff, so I need to know what's happening. Any ideas?
System is a Core i7 with 8 gb RAM, 1.5 gb nVidia GeForce, Win 7 x64 and DirectX 11. All drivers ruthlessly updated.

Curt: the videos played fine in Bridge. I don't know why codecs would be an issue; they're installed onto the system itself, so if Premiere Pro uses a codec, shouldn't Photoshop  be able to use it? And these are AVCHD from my Canon Vixia, MPG from my iPad and AVI from a Flip. Nothing offbeat.
Trevor: Task Manager and Resource Monitor show that PS and Dynamic Link Media server are using the most CPU and memory (when playing the vids). Only about 50% of the CPU was in use and about 3.5 of the 8 gb memory was in use, even though I manually boosted available memory in PS to 6 gb. So the machine isn't even close to being maxed out.
I edit videos on this machine often, and have never seen performance as bad as what happened in Photoshop. Now I'm on my ASUS laptop. Tomorrow afternoon, I'll test on my workstation, which has the same amount of RAM, faster hard drives, faster video card, and slower CPU.

  • When using ipad4, why do videos not play on Google?  Audio works fine

    WWhen using ipad,why do videos not play on Google? Audio still plays. I have reset the Google app and it will be ok for short time but then reverts back to not playing videos.

    Hi Vernon70,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that an application you downloaded from the App Store, Google, is not functioning as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend following the troubleshooting steps outlined in the attached article.

  • I have an ipod touch 4th generation and have just recently downloaded the new update. I was wondering why the videos that I had added in my playlist won't show up.

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation and have just recently downloaded the new update. I was wondering why the videos that I had added in my playlist won't show up. Is there anyway that I could get my videos to appear in my playlist? They are still in my ipod in the video section, but just won't appear in my playlist.

    iOS6 problems aplenty ....not sure if the link I inserted is working or not, but the issue is a lot more prevalent - the issue being that what shows up & plays in iTunes after the iOS6 update is not what shows up (& plays) on the device itself. This may go beyond just the iPod Touch as well.
    In my case I can see & play both audio & video files in my Playlist through iTunes, but can only see the Playlists on the iPod Touch with ALL of them being empty. Syncing numerous times no help. Contacting Apple Tech. Support no help - they suggested downloading my Purchases from the iTunes Store - waste of time, did not make a difference. It is clear Apple needs to release a fix to OS6.
    Another problem I noticed on the device is that the Shuffle option is hidden on the built-in Songs Playlist, having to swipe the screen down to see it - dumb dumb dumb.

  • H.264 videos that played in Firefox 34 won't play in Firefox 35.0

    We host a ton of h.264 videos in the mp4 container displayed through JW Player. We had zero problems with Firefox 34 and earlier playing these videos, the video is H.264 and the audio is AAC, the whole thing is around 500 kbit/s.
    They play fine on Firefox 34, Chrome and IE but after updating to Firefox 35.0 we get an error: "Error loading media: File could not be played".
    We have found a fix to get them to work in the about:config, switching "media.fragmented-mp4.enabled" to false OR switching "media.fragmented-mp4.exposed" to false will allow our videos to play. Single file mp4's will also begin to download where before we would get a "Video can't be played because the file is corrupt."
    Alternatively for Mac users if they just set media.apple.mp4.enabled to False it also works fine.
    Non h.264 mp4 videos will play fine.
    Here is a playlist that won't play: http://media.vineyardinstitute.org/other/vi_announcement/firefox-test.html
    Here is the single video file: http://media.vineyardinstitute.org/other/vi_announcement/05_kingdom_theology.mp4
    Is there anything I can change on either the playlist or the video files to get this to work? Why would the h.264 files that worked in Firefox 34 NOT work in 35? I will not be able to re-encode all of the videos, it would take me months. Is this a bug with Firefox?
    Also I have tried this in safe mode, tried with every plugin deactivated, I have uninstalled Flash and the videos would not play as well as reinstalling a new version of Flash and a fresh copy of Firefox 35.0
    Any help would be much appreciated, we are currently directing all of our users away from Firefox till we get this resolved.
    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Do you have H.264 codec enabled in the plugins list of Firefox?
    Does this happen in the most recent version of JWplayer?
    There was an error loading the media:

    In that one there were two errors: needed a higher version of Flash installed and the codec issue. As you mentioned this had been narrowed down to the codec of the mp4 file. And this codec is added with the default cisco h.264 player. [https://gigaom.com/2014/10/14/h-264-support-arrives-in-firefox-thanks-to-cisco-but-h-264-web-videos-still-wont-play/]

  • TA44469 i have a video that plays on my iphone, but when downloaded to windows, only the audio plays and the video is black.  help,

    i have an iphone 4s.  I can take a video and play it on the 4s just fine, i have always been able to down'load to my pc and view videos with no trouble.  But since mid-october 2012, when i download the video to my pc, and try to play it, same as always,  I am getting only audio and the video part is black.  I can hear everything happening, but no picture.  any thoughts?

    Try updating to QuickTime 7.7.3. (That has helped a few people who were getting that when trying to play the videos with version 7.7.2.)

  • Why does video stop playing and restarting?

    Mostly you tube and netflix. The video will play for a couple seconds then stop, then start, then stop...I am sick of looking at the spinning wheel and being able to watch video. Is this an Adobe Flash Player issue and how do I fix it?

    I am sick of watching the spinning wheel and NOT being able to watch video. Is there an alternative to Adobe Flash Player? Will Quick Time play these videos? Can you set it to be the default player?

  • Since up grading to V6 I can't find any video that plays, they used to!

    Before I upgraded to V6 ( From V5) I didn't have much problem playing videos, but since upgrading to V6 no videos play, not youtube, flixy or jazz videos, or videos from Brasscheck!
    Is there a workaround for this?
    Is there a way to revert to V5?
    Thanks,
    noaxetogrind

    Finitarry, I tried disabling all plugins, then tried to run a video I get from "Jazz on the tube" the video still won't play. enabled them again & tried the video again, no go. This video would play in Firefox 5 without problems, all the problems started with the installation of Firefox6.
    Can I still download Firefox 5 somewhere?

  • How to export video that plays back smoothly?

    I have an HD project in Premiere Pro CS4 that is about 9 minutes.  When I render out to Flash for the web, once it's all buffered it plays back real smooth.  So the client wants a copy of the "file" to be played on his computer running Windows and Windows Media Player which he will attach to a large 55" flatscreen via HDMI at a trade show.  I rendered out several different files ranging from .MOV to H.264 in various resolutions (1920x1080, 1280x720p, 720x480 wide, iPod, etc.) and tested them on my Dell Inspiron i3 laptop running Windows 7 Home 64 bit connected to my 46" tv via HDMI to simulate what the client would have.
    The 1920 file was huge (2GB) as one would expect and plays back jerky
    The 1280x720p .MP4 file was about 400mb which I was excited about, but plays back jerky
    The other two (.MOV and .MP4) at 720x480 play back smoothly
    So I'm guessing that it's either a disk / processor issue with playing back the larger files or combo of that and the graphics card or am I having an issue with the way the settings are set in the export options?
    The box I'm producing the video on is a Mac i7 quad-core, 8GB RAM and a nice ATI card.  The full rez versions of the files play fine on it.  BluRay is out too.  Don't have a burner and they don't have a player.
    So what file format and settings can I render out that will yield smooth(er) results at larger resolutions for my intended output?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    And the answer is.... converting the footage to WMV.  Tada.  I exported a nice huge HD 1920x1080 H.264 file and then used iSkysoft Video Converter to convert it to WMV.  Now the only thing is that iSkysoft Coverter only allows 1280x720 as it's largest resolution for WMVs, but even so, the quality on a 46" LCD TV coming from a laptop via HDMI looks pretty sharp.  The video was running very smooth (and it was running off a USB key <g>) to boot.
    The file size of the original HD H.264 file:  9.02GB
    The file size of the converted WMV: 437.5MB
    All in all I'm happy with this breakthrough.  I was "this" close to buying a BluRay burner, media and telling the client to use a BluRay player.
    Now... I love what I got, but it could be better.  Does anyone know of a good video converter that will convert WMVs to true HD resolution (1920x1080) or is that 1280x720 a WMV limit?
    Thanks all,
    Steve

  • Why are videos not playing in Adobe Captivate 6?

    We are having issues with videos (F4v or .mp4) playing in Captivate 6 produced projects? We've set them as progressive downloads like we did in CP5 or 5.5 that still work corectly, but now they do not. Has anyone else had this issue? It is the biggest one of a few i've found in captivate 6 so far.

  • Aol plays a series of video that played acouple days ago when ever I open a video

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Why is video content played on an iPhone 4s interrupting what I am watching on my AppleTV?

    Just set up my Apple TV last night & watching an TV show episode from Netflix through Apple TV. My son is playing on his iPhone 4s, and clicks a video on Instagram and the video interrupts my show & is now playing on AppleTV.
    Do I have my AppleTV set up correctly & does anyone know how I can prevent this from happening. He just wants to use his phone & me watch TV :-)
    thanks.

    The iPhone has airplay enabled, bring up control centre on the 4S and turn it off

  • How to stop the soundtrack while there is a video that playing during the presentation???

    please help me... i spent hours and hours trying to figure it out!

    You can if fact add an "animation" to the sound file and video file. If you select a video (or sound) you can go to animate and under "Build In" you have: "Start Video/Sound" and under "Build Out" you have stop. If you have a sound that you would like to stop at the same time as you start your video you can tie those two "animations" together. Then you can decide if you want to click to stop the audio or if you want to stop it after a specific period of time.
