Why does Adobe Premiere CS6 slow playback after importing some audio?

Adobe Premiere CS6.0 v6.0.2
Mac Pro:
1, 4 core - 3.2ghz CPU
16gb ram (4 sticks of 4gb @ 1066 MHz)
1 Tb dive with OS/Apps on
2Tb 7200 RPM media drive
ATI Radeon HD 5770
Sequence:
30Fps
1920x1080
Media:
mostly .MFX files from a Canon XF100 however these clips commonly play nice with Premiere.
Issue:
After importing some audio clips (.wav/.mp3, possibly other extensions) to the timeline on occasion the video playback will become choppy and the audio will slow down 3% creating any voices in the video to become deeper and slows down. Choppy video playback as well. The problem is very annoying but it can be temporarily fixed with a computer restart but it will come back.
Things to note:
Creating a rendered ID (Exporting the movie out to a .mov) the slowed choppy video does not appear in the final movie.
Temp. Solution:
The only way I can fix this problem is by restarting the computer. Simply restarting Adobe Premiere and closing any non-essential applications does not fix the problem.
Any ideas on how to fix this are much apperciated.

Try converting your MP3 to AIFF ,QT or something else Macs like. See if that helps.

Why does Adobe Premiere Pro modify original footage/asset files (e.g. mov)? (CS6)

Background:
A colleague had given me a large 33Gb .mov for use in a project, I put this file on a backup drive.
I made an identical copy of this 33Gb .mov file and placed it in a folder that I'd use to work on a Premiere Pro Project.
I ran Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and dragged in the 33Gb .mov file into the Sequence (imported it)
Premiere Pro CS6 started conforming the file.
After it had finished, I noticed that it's Modified Date was just now i.e different to the Modified Date on the original copy of the file on the backup drive (see step 1)
I ran a BeyondCompare check between the .mov file on the backup drive (see step 1) and the one that the Premiere Pro project was using (step 2, 3) and Beyond Compare reported they were different.
I had initially thought it was unrelated file corruption of some kind, but I have checked this several times and got the same outcome, so it's definitely Premiere Pro deliberately modifying the file.
So I am puzzled: these are supposed to be the same file.
Why would there be a need for Adobe Premiere Pro to modify the footage?
What does it do to the file?
Would it not be better to create a separate file if necessary?
I can accept this if that's how it works and it's good to know that it was Premiere Pro deliberately modifying the files and not corruption (so my hardware ought to be healthy). But it makes more sense to me if Premiere Pro made separate modified copies for its own use. Modifying the file as it does hinders my process for checking the integrity of backups; if the original asset footage files were the same as earlier copies then it would be easy to know that the backups are OK.
Thoughts?

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 :-

Why does Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 quit upon playback of a sequence?

I have a new iMac 27" 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 with 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, running 10.8.5. I have a project using AVCHD files running at 59.94 fps, 1920x1080. The media is on a OWC Mercury Elite- AL Pro Qx2; it is at least 3 years old and it is connected to the iMac via a LaCie eSATA hub (with the eSATA cord). Also I have the Mercury Playback Engine GPR Acceleration (CUDA) enabled.
I can edit in a project for a while fine but then the playback starts getting weird and hanging up. The cursor jumps in the timeline and the picture freezes on a frame. Sometimes, the playback monitor screen turns a solid green. Sometimes I will then receive an error message saying "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." I usually have to force quit at this point. I try opening a new project and bringing in the sequences again. It will work for some time, and then the same problem again.
Is there a problem with Premiere Pro or do I need a faster, newer media drive?
Thanks.

I keep running into this issue. I really don't understand what is happening.
I have a brand new Mac Pro (Late 2013) with a 3GHz 8-core Intel Xeon E5 with 64GB of DDR3 and an AMD FirePro D700.
I run my machine with the latests version of OS X Yosemite.
I keep every Adobe program up to date.
I've been working straight off my internal 1TB SSD.
Any ideas or information would be great.
Thank you!
Are you running the following update? OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 Update
Is the SSD you are running your system on one you installed, or is it factory installed from Apple?
Are you testing with a brand new project file or one you updated from a previous version?
What happens to you precisely when this issue occurs? Are you working for 5-10 minutes, then the program freezes? Or do you get a warning dialog box?
Have you checked permissions for your Adobe folders (see my blog): Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
Have you tried trashing preferences (press Shift + Option while starting Premiere Pro)?
Thanks,

Why does Adobe Premiere Elements 11 download my videos to my computer so slowly?

Hey guys, I have been using Adobe Premiere Elements 11, for quite some time, and I noticed that its download speed is as slow as a turtle. I know it is not my download speed, because when I download files from the internet, or games, it goes as fast as anything. Just so you have more information, I will tell you have my recording/uploading process goes. First, I record the video (Using Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 Screen Capture). Then, I would send it to my video encoder. (Microsoft Expression Encoder 4). I would then encode the video, and send that output file to Adobe Premiere Elements 11 for further editing and to download it to my computer. Now, everything up to this point takes maybe 30 minutes. But when I get to Adobe, it takes more less 3 hours (give or take a few minutes). Finally, after all that waiting, I upload it to Youtube, which takes about an hour or so. My problem is Adobe is taking far to much time to install/download the video. And as a result of that, I can only put out about a video a day. Is there any way to speed that up, or should I just get a new editing software? All feedback, and help is greatly appreciated.

Gamer
The typical ways to introduce media into Premiere Elements 11 is via AddMedia which puts the source media into Project Assets and from there you drag the contents to the Timeline Expert view edit.
These would be your choices.
You say that you used Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and a picture from Photoshop Elements 11.
Given that you are doing screen captures with Microsoft Expression Encoder 4 and you have a photo from Photoshop Elements 11, but how are you introducing them into Premiere Elements 11? At the same time that we are looking into the how, we need to look into the what, especially for the screen captures. The video and audio formats and file extension among other things are important to the Premiere Elements workflow.
So, again I would ask you to offer answers to what I had asked
I am assuming that you are talking about the time it takes for the video to import into Project Assets for you to drag to the Timeline. Are you observing any indexing and/or conforming going on (bar at bottom right of Expert view interface) during this 3 hour await time?
Among other things, what are you using for Add Media and to get to Project Assets? And, the usual drill, what are the properties of your source media, including size and duration, video and audio compression, file extension, etc.? By comparison what is the size and duration of those Internet games et al. that seem to be transferring to your expectations?
Is this one of those issues where "it never worked before" or "it worked before but not now" specific to Adobe files of the size and duration and properties that you are focusing on?
I see the answers to all of the above as expediting the matter to get your concerns addressed.
Please review.
Thank you.

Premiere cs6 slowed significantly after creating a non-admin user on win7

hi
ok so here is my problem
i have a computer on work operating win7 x64 sp1 and i installed cs6 master collection on it and it was working fine. recently and in order to avoid unwanted installed programs on the machine "namly games" we created a normal user account without any admin privilage. what i noticed later while cpu usage itself was at less than 10% on the meter the program itself "premiere pro cs6) suffered greatly, several crashes, sudden error messages that was resolved by simply restarting the program, the rendering and exporting time slowed dramatically either
my question is this....although i am 50% sure that the user account has nothing to do with this bizzare behavior is it possible that the normal non-admin account on the win7 IS the culprit?..or the reason is something else entirely?
thank you all in advance
P.S. (the computer specs are cpu:i7 extreme with 16 gb of RAM, and an intel SSD HDD also my graphic card is geforce GTX 680)
also i tried the software on other computers and i noticed only the locked users suffers somewhat the same problem while my own pc which is a full admin user pc fared extremely well........which baffled me more since user account shouldnt effect the programs at all.......right?

Not only does PPro require full admin account, there are some instances (mostly Encore) where you need to take an added step
As well as the below, right click the program icon and select Run as Administrator, which is NOT the same thing as running the computer with the Administrator account, and which fixes several "odd" problems... To create a two layer DVD (or a BluRay?), you MUST have Encore set to use the Run as Administrator option

Why does Adobe Photoshop CS6 continually ask me to register?

Adobe Photoshop CS6 continually asks me to register. I go to the weblink provided, find my information already there, and then try and exit. This happens often, maybe once a week. What can I do to make sure that Photoshop CS6 remembers that I have already registered. Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Try this, you may have to do this untill you are ask to register
Right click the shortcut and run it as administrator (only required once, you won't have to run it as admin after), click "do not register" when it starts up and you shouldn't receive the prompt again.

Why is adobe premiere cs6 workspace replaced with full black screen?

Windows 7 Pro. AMD 3.2 Ghz hexacore, 16 Gb RAM, tons of HD space. Nvidia GPU 470 with Cuda. Dual screen
Adobe Premiere pro CS6.
Usually Premiere works fine and i have no problems. However sometimes when I work, I suddendly get a dual black screen. No matter where I click with mouse, the monitors remain black.
The only way I found to go around is to call Task Manager, then the task bar opens again at the bottom of main screen and by clicking on Premiere icon (which I permanently have there), I can get again my workspace.
Did others get the same issue, which can be a real nuisance?

Right click in any open area of the Windows desktop

Why does Adobe Premiere Elements 12 render only audio?

I have a brand new laptop with all required specs to run Adobe Premiere. I only have the trial version of PRE12 at the moment. The program itself actually runs great, but I can't seem to get it to render correctly. I film on a GoPro Hero 3 White Edition camera and have been unable to get it to render any video filmed on it. I am rendering MPEGS at 1920X1080i 30fps ( which is the exact video the gorpo is said to record). This may even be a problem with wiindows media player, which II am attempting to view rendered videos on. I don't know what else to try!

Premiere Elements 12 on what computer operating system?
There are two types of rendering in Premiere Elements - Timeline render which is a preview thing to get the best possible preview of the Timeline content as viewed in the Edit area monitor AND render in the export sense of the word.
I am assuming that you are asking about render in the export sense of the word.
1. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 12? If not, please do so.
Also go to Publish+Share/Computer/QuickTime and see if you have presets there for QuickTime.
2. Are you running Premiere Elements 12 from a User Account with Administrative Privileges and also with Run As Administrator applied via the desktop icon for the program.
Lots and lots more questions I could ask, but for now please see if we can find the solution in the above.
Thanks.

Nobody can know. you are not offering any system information or otehr details. this could be anything from system recovery to virus scanners and otehr security tools quarantining file or you not installing with sufficient user privileges in teh first place and thus changes not becoming permanent.
