  • half of an old project won’t play correctly?

    Posted by Andy Engelkemier on February 26, 2020 at 7:42 pm

    I say old, but it’s just from last year, so not Terribly old.
    I’ve already started a new project and Imported the previous project in. Still nothing.

    One thing I noted was that even if I open one of the videos in the source monitor, it doesn’t play back correctly. It Basically plays back the frames out of order, so it appears to stutter as if it’s playing an older frame, then immediately catching up.
    And I Thought it was just playback, but frame by frame, it still does it.

    These are the Exact videos we rendered the output with in December, which looks fine.

    The footage plays fine outside of premiere. But yes, this footage is all already compressed footage.

    Is anyone else getting this, and if so, have you figured out a solution?

    So I finished the project, Luckily. But not without issue.
    I deleted cache for All projects, and it rebuilt on open, as it should. And it seemed fine for a quick minute. Then it reverted back to half the resources being unusable for editing. They don’t play correctly in the source window, but on export, it’s fine.
    I edited, crossed my fingers that rate changing would work out fine in the end, and it was fine. I was just making a 15 second version of our “demo reel” for linkedIn. So at least it’s not for a client.

    I’d Love to figure out why the heck this is happening though. I’ve never had things be messed up so much in the Source window, but also render out fine on export.

    Hi Andy,
    Premiere changes so fast that last year’s project may indeed seem old.
    Do you have the version of Premiere that you edited it in? Probably you’ve already considered this.
    Cheers,
    Robert

    This. If you updated software since the project wrapped, that might be an issue.

    But without a lot more information on you computer, storage, version(s) of Adobe, other software changes (installs/removals), sequence settings, wrapper and codecs on your footage – everything else is guesswork.

    256GB SSD system drive
