Windows Premier pro CS5 Program monitor freezes/hangs when video on sequence bar is playing

Hi all,
I have been experiencing program monitor freezes/hang while the audio and the video on sequence bar is still playing. This happens on both HD and SD projects. I have tried many ways but at time it works but at times does not work. i have updated CS5 to 5.02, updated the driver and also quicktime.
Hope someone can help me on this ! Appreciate it.!
This is a complete new system.
The specification as follows: INTEL(R) CORE(TM) i7CPU950@ 3.07GHz 3.56GHz
installed 12.0GB RAM
System at 64bit
Display driver using NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for the reply. I have updated the graphics driver on Nvidia website as well.It still does not work.
Under project settings: Video rendering and playback, i have both mercury playback engine GPU accelerator and mercury playback engine softway only. it is currently set as mercury playback engine GPU accelerator.
Thanks in advance

Any suggestions?

The project even rembers the setting and propagated to all the other clips,
Well, sort of--this setting actually only applies to preview. It doesn't change or set anything on the clips themselves. While it will (should) remain active for this particular project, it might not for the next new project; however, you know where to look now

Premier pro CS5.5 crashes on open.

Hello,
I'h having difficulty getting Premier pro CS5.5 to run. When opeing the program the splash screen is displayed and the main window launches and sits like this untill it is forced closed. All other adobe software runs.
I have tryed the following:
Reboot.
Remove Premier preference files.
Reinsall Premier .
Update Premier to 5.5.2.
Updated GPU drivers.
Updated GPU drivers to beta.
System Specs:
Windows 7 Home 64bit
i7 2600
16GB RAM
ATI 5770
Premier was runing on this machine before I reinstalled windows a few weeks ago.

Seems like you've hit all the things I might think of. If no one else has an idea, the only one left may be to wipe Windows and try again.
And make sure you install nothing but what you need to edit with on this machine. No games, no office, no email - just editing and associated tasks.

I think I need to re install Encore off my discs. When I ask Premier Pro CS5 to send my project to Encore, Encore opens but does not receive my movie sequence. How do I re install Encore only without upsetting my movie?

Hello. I have the Premier Pro CS5 suite on Windows. Can you advise me how to re install Encore off my discs without affecting any of my movie in Premier Pro please?
I ask Pro to send the movie sequence through Dynamic Link into Encore so that I can burn the sequence to a disc.
Encore does open but the sequence does not arrive from Pro.
Last night the sequence did arrive into Encore but took forever to transcribe and I eventually cancelled the process as it appeared to get stuck and did not quite get to writing to disc.
This morning the sequence does not even arrive into Encore.
Very frustrating when I have a 4hr movie that I want to write to Bluray so I have now created 4 separate sequences and want to try writing them onto DVD in 1hr chapters.
Hope someone can help me with this. Cheers. Janice

Hello Ann. Thank you for your help. I have re installed EN and I have now
sent parts of my movie to AME. I have then tried several different methods
of getting the encoded clips into Encore successfully. Once in the Project
panel and the Timeline, the movie does not show up in the Monitor panel
above, so I have proceeded to build and write to a disc. I've tried a
number of options but always end up with EN 'not responding' and having to
close the program down.
Something else is that I do get a message whilst in Premiere Pro that there
is an update available for AME, however, when I look online I do not see an
update for CS5, although there are 2 updates for CS6. Can you suggest what
I could do please? The Encore problem is the one that concerns me the most
as I am not able to record my movie.
Looking forward to your reply.
Kind regards.
Janice

Program Monitor Freezes

Essentially, while editing SD footage, on the Premiere Pro CS5 timeline, in a SD 720 x 480 resolution project, the Program Monitor image freezes.
It does not seem to matter what I am doing such a playback, adding a transition, color correction, shortening the length of a clip, or cropping an image. It makes no difference. The Program Monitor just freezes.This happens twice in every hour or so of editing. There does not seem to be a timing variable to this problem, or it is not consistent.
The timeline is still useable and the audio continues playing, the mouse moves, I can access clips on the Source Monitor and play them. Nothing else changes. I can change the playback resolution or make any other monitor changes, although they do not show up since the image at the time of the freeze stays in the monitor. Refreshing does not work. Restarting the program does not work. All changes since the last freeze can be saved since the Save function still works. I just cannot edit and the only way that I can proceed is to reboot the computer.
Adobe Service has escalated this case #182091487, back and forth for almost two months. This is putting a crimp in my production schedule.
This happens sporadically, although on one occasion, I was actually able to demostrate the freeze to Adobe Service while they were on line.
I currently edit on an MSI GT660R laptop
•     Intel® Core™ i7-740QM Processor
•     Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium 64bit
•     15.6" TFT-LCD Display (LED Backlight)
•     NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 285M 3D Discrete Graphics Card (DDR3 1GB VRAM)
•     6GB (2GB x 3) DDR3 1066 MHz System Memory
•     1TB (500x2) 7200RPM Hard Drive
•     802.11 b/g/ n Wireless LAN with Bluetooth
•     Dynaudio Premium Sound Speakers
•     Dual SATA Hard Drive with Raid 0
•     Accelerated CPU+ GPU performance with MSI TDE Technology
•     MSI Cooler Boost Technology
•     USB 3.0 for high speed data transfer
•     Blu-Ray Optical Drive
•     Built-in 720p HD webcam
•     HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) output
I want my CS3 back.

Screen saver is (NONE) so probably not a factor
My laptop is used for editing while travelling. They would not let me carry
my desktop on the the plane. Complained that the three monitors took up too
much space.
Do not really have much stacked up on the timeline. Mostly one, sometimes
two and on the odd occasion, a third track for perhaps a title or PIP.
However, I am using colour correction via Auto levels and ProDad's Mercalli
2.0 stabilizer (incredible plug-in). Never have Red or Yellow bars over the
footage on the timeline without applying these effects. Mercury engine has
really helped with that issue.
When my 'Program' monitor freezes up, I am still able to save, playback
(audio only) the timeline, and even play clips on the source monitor. It has
been suggested that I reduce the Program monitor playback resolution. I will
experiment with that.
I will also follow your suggestion and render more often when these Red
/Yellow bars do appear. I appreciate the suggestions.

Program Monitor freezes after updating to 5.5.2

Now, whenever I play a sequence, the program monitor freezes during playback. It usually happens at a cut, but not always the same cut, it is random. The monitor just freezes, but the sound and CTI keep on going. This happens repeatedly.
Mac Pro
OSX 10.7.2

Same problem. 5.5.1 was very stable with a few bugs. All I changed was updaing to 5.5.2 and WAMO my system is now unusable. I've tried updating the NVIDIA driver to 280.26 and thing were worse. Uninstalled PP5.5 Windows and reinistalled from DVD then updated 5.5.1 then updated 5.5.2. Now PP5.5 won't even open crashing halfway through loading. Will try ty unistall everythig and try a different GPU driver.

Why won't my newly installed Premier Pro CS5.5 start?

I just had to have my PC overhauled with a new motherboard and decided to upgrade my Adobe software while I was at it. Installed the Production Suite today and when I try to start Premier Pro CS5.5 it acts like it is starting up, brings up the workspace screen but then just shuts down.
I've got an AMD Phenom II X4 840 Processor 3.20 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, and am running Windows 7.
Photoshop and seval other of the Adobe Programs open just fine...though I haven't tried any of them out just yet...Premier Pro is what I need to use right now and so it's just par for the course that it isn't working.
Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks

Premiere Pro shut down...I didn't have a lot of time to try and work on this today but I did poke around trying to find the preferences and set about to pull up the event log before having to leave. I figured I would give it a look tonight...I opened some of the hidden files trying to find the preferences didn't have much luck...was about to figure out how to pull the event log (never done that before) when I happened to click on an old project file I had from my older version...and the program opened...even better it stayed open.
To my knowledge I did nothing at all other than look in some hidden folders. I have tried a couple of different times now to just open the program from the start menu and it works...now my firewire port is on the blink so I haven't had a chance to actually try the bugger out but I have verified that all seems stable...for now.
Thanks for the input...if I wind up having the trouble again I'll start with your suggestions but hopefully it won't come to that.

Adobe Premier Pro CS5

When I am finished working on a project using Adobe Premier Pro CS5 I save the file. Then when I go to close out Adobe Premier Pro CS5 I get a message that says " Adobe Premier Pro CS5 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and will notify you if a solution is available." Why is this doing this, and what can I do to fix it?

Why can't I render or export media all of a sudden in Premier Pro CS5?

I just had my computer serviced and now when I try to export media in Premier Pro CS5 I get an error "encoding failed: unk
nown error" and I cannot render either. There are other problems with my other Adobe programs too such as in Encore when I try to build my DVD I get the "unable to transcode" error. It almost seems like they somehow deleted some of my Adobe components. Everything worked fine before I took the computer in, I was just running out of space on my hard drive. Can I just re-install the entire CS5, or is that even neccessary? I am using Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 2 with and Intel Quad Core processor w/ 8GB ram and a 64bit operating system.
Thanks for your help!!!

I was just running out of space on my hard drive.
And the servicing included a new one, tranjsferring the install via a system image? This is bound to cause problems, since the drive mapping won't match. Not just with Adobe products, but also otehr programs and Windows itself. Indeed a clean reinstall of everything is strongly advisable... In your case it has definitely bombed out the licensing info, hence you are unable to use anything related to MPEG or other formats that use CoDecs tied in with the activation...

How to see time taken of the footage in premier pro cs5

Hi,
I have captured the video footage from miniDV tape and brought it in premier pro cs5. I want to see the time at which the actual footage was recorded, not the file created or modified. For eg, 12th march, 2011 at 1.24PM. I tried to look under project panel and expanded it by pressing ~ key. On the right hand top fly out menu, pressed Metadata Display and searched under Premier pro project data and Basic. Couldn't find the right property to add. Any help appreciated.

Program monitor freezing

Hi, I just switched over to premiere CC and have been having trouble with the program monitor freezing up. I am editing R3D files 5k and therefore have the playback quality set to 1/8. But every time I'm trying to scale up the picture, the monitor freezes completely. Everything else works, but i have to restart premiere to get any picture back on the program monitor. Is there any setting i could change to prevent this? Answers are appreciated!
- Espen

my computer configuration details are:
-Its a MAC
-processor: 2.6 Ghz Intel core i7
-memory 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3
in the project settings:
-renderer: Mercury playback engine GPU acceleration (openCL)
-diplayformat: Timecode
And I'm have set the scratch disks to an external HD using USB3, could this maybe be a problem?
The strange thing is that everything worked when I Used the Premiere cs6 before i switched to premiere pro CC.
Thanks for the reply Rameez!

Desktop Mode (Premier Pro CS5)

I recently had a project that was nearly done and the first time I installed Adobe Premier Pro CS5, everything worked perfectly. Until recently, I had to reinstall the software and all of a sudden, it would only open in "Desktop Mode." All the video files I had used now say, "Media Offline." I'm hoping that there is a solution and I don't have to remake the entire sequence. How can I get the original sequence back with all the video files working properly?

How do you "repair install?"
Things might have changed since CS2 (last time that I did one), but here are my steps:
Close all Adobe programs in a suite, or the single program if only stand-alone
Insert the Installation (Disk 1) media
Let it either AutoRun, or launch the AutoRun, if that is turned off in the OS
From the dialog screen, choose the program (if in a suite, you will need to navigate to that)
The installer module will have surveyed your system, and should have detected what you have installed
One should then get only two options: Uninstall, or Repair Install
When one chooses Repair Install, the installer module will again survey the system, but this time for the chosen program
It will then go about fixing the installation
Now, Adobe changes the installer module from time to time, so am not sure if CS5/5.5 would be any different.
Good luck,
Hunt
