  • cs4 will not play video in real time on the time line

    Posted by Frank Pate on February 23, 2009 at 3:16 pm

    I am a new user of CS4. It will not play video in real time on the time line. Audio is good and video will play in the source monitor correctly. I can export and burn DVD’s just fine. Any ideas?

    That should be fine. What about footage type and drive configuration ?

    I’ve got dual hard drives. I am shooting on a panasonic hmc70 it shoots in 1440×1080 hd. I am editing 30 second commercials. even when I don’t have raw footage on the time line if it is just a bunch of jpeg photos static with some transitions it won’t keep up with the audio.

    Did you setup your new sequence with the correct presets for the type of footage you are using?

    Are you trying to edit AVCHD?

    I’ve found that CS4 has trouble with AVCHD and my system struggles.

    I’ve heard, but haven’t tried, taking the footage into Adobe Media Encoder and changing to mpeg2.

    Might help.

    Yes it is AVCHD. I do have it in the correct presets and have tried several other presets.
