CS6 Premiere Pro play head sticking
I have a brand new high end PC and so far everything in my Adobe suite CS6 runs beautifully except for one little annoying thing – I can’t scrub the play head in real time. Everything else plays seamlessly but when I try to drag the play head on the timeline with my cursor, it sticks and then jumps to the new position. The video playback is smooth – it’s just the play head that sticks, which is frustrating when you’re trying to drag to a position on the timeline.
I know there have been a few similar posts in the past, but I didn’t come across an answer. Can anyone help?

I’d say you might want to supply more info on what the specs are…and the media you’re working with.
It sounds like the system is either bottlenecking in decoding or hard drive access

Hey Tim
Thanks for responding.
My setup is as follows:
1 RAMPAGE-IV-FORMULA motherboard
1 CORE I7 4930K 3.4GHZ 12MB CACHE LGA2011 6CORES
1 CORSAIR HYDRO H110 2X 140MM LIQUID CPU COOLER
1 Corsair 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 Vengeance
(CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9)
1 GIGABYTE R9 290WF3-4GD 4GB PCIE DVI-Dx2 HDMI DISP
1 500GB SAMSUNG 2.5″ 840BW EVO 540/520 10000/33000
1 SEAGATE 1TB 7200 64MB SATA 6.0 Gb/s
1 WINDOWS 7 PRO OEM 64BIT SP1
2 Asus 23\” MX239H IPS LED (MX239H) 5MS / 1920×1080I am running Adobe Master Suite CS6. I mainly do 2D animation so my timeline is usually 1280×720 sq pixel progressive at 25 fps.
The play head was sticking on a simple animatic (still frames brought onto the timeline as pngs or jpegs) so I would doubt that the capability of the PC is the problem. But then again, it’s a new set up for me and I’m not that hardware literate. My software lives on the solid state drive and my projects on the Seagate drive. I was not using any external drives.
Could it be a setting on either Premiere or my graphics cad that is in conflict?
