    i have the file exported out as an AVID DNxHD.

    I also transcoded a very small version of the file 90MB just to test it. Same thing !! Again it just doesn’t ‘want to go’! I opened file to preview in media browser and presto! It runs smoothly there as small thumbnail. When back in premiere. Same sluggness again.

    I followed your direction from up top. Same problem. Its just really really wierd !!

    Another thing to try…

    Use prelude to ingest the footage, then transcode as necessary. And send it to Premiere. ???

    not that adobe people want to hear this; but …. guess what was the easiest thing to do? import into FCP 10! From there … video ran SMOOTH as butter. Added extra audio track and voila … exported my heart’s desire. WHY doesn’t premiere act like that? I had to use a MAC Book Pro when the computer I have the latest premiere on is faster and dedicated to just this. Man … I must give it to Apple!

    still dumbfounded why NOTHING plays smoothly with my BRAND NEW PREMIERE, BRAND NEW COMPUTER. VERY VERY STRANGE. I am wondering if perhaps it is because my HD is almost full? I did load large file video onto the machine. In other news … the MAC Book Pro and FCP10 kicks ass …

    Are you working with media on a fast external drive?… or are you using the internal drive for everything?

    Yes, you will experience issues if the harddrive is nearly full.

    There are several potential causes: encoding, hardware, software. Troubleshoot to determine whether the stuttering was encoded into the file or is a playback issue. View the file frame by frame in Premiere or QuickTime to ensure there is smooth motion in the encoded file. If the file looks good, are you reading from a platter disk or SSD? Are there any effects applied in Premiere? Are there other video tracks in the Premiere timeline?

    I had this problem too, and reducing the fps from 29 to 15 was EXACTLY the right thing to do. (I’d set my frame rate way too high for a timeline that included 15 fps screen recorder clips.)
    Thank you, thank you!

    Guys,

    Wow long time ago it seems I made that posting. So here is what the culprit was by the way … CODECS. Apparently I somehow had deleted the right codecs. A Russian programmer buddy of mine (who barely spoke English) kept saying codecs, codecs, codecs. While I repeated … no, NEW COMPUTER … IT TURNED out he was right. He re-installed some codecs and WHAM the footage ran smoothly on premiere’s timeline!! thanks everyone!

    You we’re probably missing the Tricaster codecs. One really shouldn’t randomly install mysterious russian third party codecs as those can mess Adobe applications up.
