Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 Playback Problems
-
I have re-installed Premiere CS3 2 times and that hasn’t corrected it, I have been using Adobe Premiere since 1995 and have never had a problem until now? Not only that but now I’m dropping frames….something change and I’m not sure either. I even restored Windows back to an earlier time when I thought the change happened and that also did nothing.

Ah, yes…computer games.
I won’t jump on you like we’ve done in the past to people who install computer games in their professional video editing machine…and then blame the editing software for malfunctioning…
Get a game machine if you need one…if you edit video for a living, keep that machine clean. Computer games are very intrusive and they damage lots and lots of other software.
I’d be willing to bet that you rip out the computer games and reinstall your CS4 apps…and you’re back in business.
CS4 isn’t the likely problem as it turns out…how about that?

i can assure you there will be flames if that is the case…

Is it possible that I just re-install those codecs? Also, this only occurs with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, not After Effects which also involves video footage. When Premiere Pro was working, I still had some games on it and it would work fine. Not to mention I re-installed Premiere Pro CS4 and it still wouldn’t work. In the case if I uninstall my games and CS4, you are most like referring to ALL games and CS4 products, if I am correct?
-
Like I said, I already had some computer games when it was working, but I just installed a few more and I don’t quite understand how some games could disrupt CS4 products.

It didn’t disrupt CS4…it broke the codecs that CS4 needs to playout your timeline.
Get the games off your machine. If you have CS4 Production Premium, you paid what? 1400 bucks? 1700 bucks for the software? Why do you need games on a working machine?
I still don’t understand why this isn’t obvious to you honestly…before you installed the games everything worked…after installing the games it doesn’t right?
Games are just bad news. They’re full of hacks and non-standard coding to ‘hot rod’ their performance, which is fine until whatever they altered to help themselves run better breaks something else. This is an old, old story. i’ve been answering this question on forums for 10 years…
Don’t put games on a video editing platform.
Simple.

So you just want me to uninstall all games and all CS4 products, and then re-install CS4 products?
-
Yep… I think if all the games are cleared out and CS4 is uninstalled and installed clean, I’d bet it solves the issue.
If not, post back of course because there is something else, but Occam’s Razor says whatever changed in the machine between when CS4 worked and when it doesn’t is the problem…one of the added games did something to those codecs.
…I’d clear the rest of games off on principle…but if you reinstall with any games on the machine and it doesn’t work, we haven’t really progressed.

Ok thanks for your help.

I have been using premiere since 1995 and just recently had the same problem with CS3 (and still do)and I’ve never had a game on my computer….It is a dedicated computer. That’s not to say I don’t have allot of software on it, 100% is for design purposes. So something else must be going on! I have reinstalled CS3 2 additional times to no avail. I noticed that while in the time line if I turn off the fire wire connected deck everything plays as normal so I’m thinking it has something to do with the “Device Control”… Any thoughts
