Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Playback Problems
Whenever I attempt to play a video in Premiere Pro (including preview monitor, timeline, etc.) the video itself won’t play at all, like you’ll see the frame that you are on but it won’t play the full clip. However, the audio is intact so you can hear the audio playing but the video is just one frame. I can browse through it by dragging the cursor across the timeline, but no actual playback. This only occured recently, as before I had no problem playing back video, so it has nothing to do with my computer specs, or source files; it is simply Premiere Pro.

Really?

Yeah, I wouldn’t count anything out so fast, only makes for longer troubleshooting. It very well could be that something changed about the computer, but let’s start with premiere:
How do you have monitoring set up? Are you putting the signal out to firewire or to another monitor out? When it was attempting to play out to my camera or deck, it would do this to me. Or something like it. It would play for a few frames then freeze.

The only monitor I have it set up to is a monitor connected directly to my computer, through (I think) a DA-15, D-Sub. The monitor is out. I mean the video won’t play AT ALL, if I select a frame, then click the play button, all it does is pause on the frame, while the audio continues to play seamlessly. What I mean that it has nothing to do with my specs, is that before this happened the video and audio would play seamlessly; even using AVCHD, so my thoughts are towards the program itself.

I used the program “Sherlock- the Codec Detective” and it found several video codecs broken, which would be:
MainConcept (Adobe2) H.264/AVC Decoder
MainConcept (Adobe2) H.264/AVC Video Encoder
MainConcept (Adobe2) MPEG Video Encoder
Cirrus Logic USB-DVR2 Source
Pinnacle MPEG 2 Encoder
VP60 Simple Profile
VP61 Advanced ProfileIf this is the key to the problem, then how would I re-install these codecs?

Although this may sound trivial, the video duration timer always remains the same at whatever part its left off. So I’m not sure if there’s a setting where Premiere only plays the audio of the selected clip.

Have you found the problem? as I have had the same problem on CS3 and haven’t got it fixed yet.

Not yet.

My question would be what did you install in the machine in between the time when the codecs worked and the the time they didn’t?
Something broke these codecs…
Reinstalling, or repairing the Adobe suite will be what you have to do, but I don’t know what all those codecs are connected to…the last four don’t have anything to do with Adobe. Were any of those installed after CS4?

Previously I had another video editing program called Pinnacle Studio, and that is probably where those other codecs came from, but I later uninstalled the program to free up hard disk space. The only things I installed were a few computer games and other software. Those codecs were installed before CS4.
