Premiere Will Not Play from Timeline or Display Timeline Clips in Program Window
I am new to Premiere Pro.
Yesterday the program lost its capacity to play anything from the timeline. JKL keys have no effect. Spacebar has no effect. Double clicking on a clip in the timeline does nothing. Both the source and program windows remain black. When I click on the play button under the program window it changes from the play button to the stop button, but it does not play. When I double click on a clip in the project window the clip does appear in the source window and will play.
When I double click on a clip in the timeline and then click on the program window, the clip will appear in the program window. However, if I then push the JKL keys, the program window goes back to black. Scrubbing the playhead accross the timeline does produce a change in the audio meters, but nothing happens in the program window.
Same thing happens with old projects and a new one I created to test.
I am baffled. Can some suggest what’s wrong or what I’ve done to produce this behavior?
Everything was working fine until mid afternoon. Behavior started after I applied the TInt effect to a portion of the footage. I assume I flipped a switch, but have no idea which one.
I am using a Mac 2×2.4 Quad Core Intel Xeon. OSX 10.6.8. 20GB Memory. I have a Matrox MXO2 LE Max connected. Software version 2.3.3.0016. Squence setting Editing Mode is “Matrox Player”. Footage being edited orginated on a Canon 60D and is full HD.

Thanks, Kevin. I had already seen that advice and tried it, but it did not work for me.
In the course of reinstalling the system and all other apps I discovered that I had been using the wrong version of the Matrox O2 software for my system (I was using version intended for OS X 10.7, not OS X 10.6 which is on the machine). I assume that might have been a factor.
Anyway, a new system and fresh install of the Master Collection solved the problem. Fortunately, the computer is new and there was little to lose in the way of data on the system drive.

This problem surfaced again and I tried the advice re deleting the file in the Preferences folder and that did restore video playback. However, it did not restore audio playback.
Stumped again.

The one time this happened to me I just closed and reopened Premiere, after deleting all the cached files and the preview files.

This could be due to a “corrupt timeline” which happened in Final Cut Pro 7 and other programs. Basically the timeline is broken.
If you get a black screen in the viewer in Adobe Premiere Pro CC, check your playback mode first, and make sure it says composite mode and fully enabled. Also check your video tracks to make sure they are not disabled.
If this doesn’t fix it, create a new blank timeline. Then, copy and paste all the clips from your old timeline into the new one, and this should fix it.
If this doesn’t work, try making your clips offline, and then reconnecting them to refresh the media library.
If none of these work, quit, and restart and see if this fixes the problem.
