  • CS4 timeline won’t play

    Hi,
    I’m using a Mac, Premiere CS4. My timeline won’t play back when I press the spacebar. I’ve tried another keyboard. I’ve uninstalled the whole production premium suite and reinstalled it. I’m not using HD footage. I’ve run the updater. I don’t know what to try from here. The footage doesn’t play in the source monitor or the program monitor. HD/SD doesn’t matter.
    Help!

    I had a similar problem with Pr CS5. Clips wouldn’t play as sources or on timeline. Finally traced the issue to a USB conflict because I use the original HK Soundsticks as my audio monitors. HK connects to USB for sound routing and when I launched Pr, the transport controls didn’t reassign to USB — faulty latch. In prefs>Audio Hardware, I selected internal output, and I swapped the monitors for the tinny little internal speaker. Transport became active again. Then i went back and reselected the Soundstick monitors and got 100% functionality again. I have to do that every time I launch Pr with this setup. But just once and everything is fine for the rest of the session.

    Brilliant! It works! I’ve spent a day a half trying to figure this out…at least for now the nightmare is over….
