Timeline stops suddenly
A new problem is occurring on an upgrade of my Premiere editing system. Any project running longer than 30 minutes stops inexplicably when running the TL. Sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 15 or 20 minutes. To continue running I need to activate the timeline window and press the spacebar again. Cannot find any error report nor cause for this. Has anyone else experienced this problem on long form timelines?
Running CS4 on a Vista 64 OS on an HP Z800 computer – Raid 5 Nexsan video drives on fiber channels and 20G RAM. Makes it very difficult to export to tape. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Possibly something running in the background that’s taking over?
I’ve seen that happen with a mail application or Windows update.

Thanks Vince – I keep the editing system very clean – only CS4 and the minimum of apps (QT, VLC, WM, Flash viewer). The Windows update does not download automatically but has to be triggered to update – but I will examine more closely. I have the AVG anti-virus and internet protection and although it scans on my command – it could be that AVG is doing something behind the scenes I’m not aware of. Thanks for the tip!

I would definitely disable AVG while editing, if only to avoid slowing down the system since it check every file in use.
Another thing to watch out for is display errors, they would show up as a warning icon at the bottom right corner of the timeline.
