  Footage doesn’t play back

  Posted by Megan Heck on March 21, 2013 at 1:39 pm

  Greetings,
  I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on an iMac 3.1 GHz Intel Core i5 on 12 GB memory.

  When I open Premiere and play a clip it works fine, but anytime leave premiere pro and go to a browser or another program it won’t play back. This is a major problem, any advice would be great.

  Since you are on a Mac, I suggest you Trash Preferences then Repair Permissions. These are the first 2 things I do when ever I have any issues using software on the Mac. Google for more details if you are not familiar with these processes.

  Are you having this problem with ALL files, or just a particular file or file type? What type of file are you trying to open? There are some file types (like mxf files from a P2 card) where you can’t just click on the file in the finder to open it.

  I think we need to know what media you’re referring to…

  There are certainly media types that Premiere Pro will read that are not QuickTime-friendly.
