CS4 Timeline frozen, no playback
Just developed this problem half an hour ago.
Finished a fairly large export through Adobe Media Encoder, at a 640×480 resolution, about an hour long show, and soon afterward, Premiere Pro refuses to move on the timeline. I can’t even play footage back in the source footage screen, nor on the regular preview screen.
I’m running Windows Vista, 64 bit OS, 4GB ram, 1GB RAM nvidia graphic card…and yes, my laptop has overheated once before, but not because of any Adobe software.
The timeline and play button have stuck before, but not after three reboots…I have become a bit more concerned.
Is there an important update I’m missing?
Thanks,
Hunta—–

Have you tried to start a new project and import the “Project” you are having issues with?

I’ve tried importing, and starting new projects of all types of presets…and they all lock up. I almost want to say it’s a graphic card issue, because each time it locks up, the desktop glitches through to the preview screen.
I have no idea why it would do that all of the sudden.

We were suddenly getting repeatable lockups on CS5 last week. Tried the ‘import project into a new project’ route. Ran MemTest and the RAM checked out fine. We were using the latest driver for our Quadro 4000, so I did a rollback to a much older version that was PPro certified. Removed several Windows Updates. Also did a repair install of CS5, then a full clean install of it when the repair didn’t fix the issue. None of it worked. On a hunch, I opened the PC’s case, and the CPU’s heat sink and fan were clogged with dust, as well as the Quadro’s. Blew out the dust bunnies, and we haven’t had a lock up since, and it’s been a week of 14 hour edit days.
May not be the solution for you, but it’s something to check.

Hmmm, cleaning it wouldn’t be a bad idea.
Here’s what Bill Hunt from the Adobe forums said earlier today,
“With the overheating, though this *https://forums.adobe.com/thread/772169?tstart=0* talks of a BSOD situation, a system hang can be just a precursor.”
All of my other Adobe programs are running fine – After Effects especially.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let others know that I resolved the issue.
For google-search-sake – those of you also looking to fix this – my solution was indeed in Windows display settings. My resolution was somehow set to Medium instead of high 32 bit…this apparently confuses PPro and causes it to hang up.
Thanks anyways!
