  • CS4 Help with isolating display problem

    Posted by Harry Putnam on November 14, 2009 at 8:04 pm

    I’m running WinXp on an Intel p4 3.2ghz with asus P4C800-de mobo – 3gb ram – Nvidea GForce FX 5700-le

    I need help isolating some kind of display problem with Premier CS4
    On two different machines, the display in source and program monitor does not always show a video clip.

    Another poster thought it was because the clips are captuered using Canopus DVstorm.

    I tried to generate a test clip from AE using MS dv, but a posters suggested it might be corrupted by the same problem.

    I generated a clip in AE on a different machine exporting as MS dv (type 2). That clip, at first seemed to work but after restart of premier even that clip will not display in source or program monitor.

    Maybe I can download a clip of known codec for testing? Any one have a url for a clip that should work very well in CS4.

    All my machines have canopus Codecs on board… but it does not appear to affect Premier 2.0. All the clips work fine in it.

    I’ve posted Gspot info on the clips but gspot just sees avi dv type 2.
    I’m not sure how to isolate and solve this problem.

    I think it’s your video card driver. I had an older P4 sys with similar spec to yours and it was just too old to run CS4 properly. Had issues with video card. Sold it with older ppro and got anew laptop. Works fine with new gear.

    I discovered I had acceleration turned on to highest level, and turned that off as per this adobe helpfile

    On twin machines, that has allowed Premiere to run fine… at least I haven’t encountered anything yet… but its only been a day.
