I cannot get my clips to play
Help, I have run out of ideas. I’m a new convert to Adobe Premier Pro cs5.5 from
Final Cut Pro 7. I have a MacPro, 32GB ram, Snow Leopard, everything up to date.
Yesterday I worked on a tutorial from Linda.com, downloaded the work files, everything
worked great, life is good. Today I started Premier Pro, dropped a clip into the timeline,
hit the space bar to play…nothing happened! OK tried another clip, still nothing.
I Imported some P2 footage that I had been working on in FCP, still nothing. Even tried
some still jpeg pictures, nothing. I can scrub without any problem. I can use the jog wheel
without any problem. I can use the shuttle without any problem. I can use the arrows
forward and reverse without any problem. Anytime I try to play a clip, either in
the timeline or the source window, it will not work. I have tried using the space bar,
the “play triangle”, the “J” “K” “L” keys but no luck. I reinstalled Premier Pro and that
did not help. I am sure I have done something stupid, but I have run out of ideas.
Remember everything worked fine yesterday, does anyone have a suggestion? -

Hi Scott,
This happened to me once where the spacebar wouldn’t work, and it was because I had the “loop” button highlighted under the Program window, check that first.

Thanks for that info. I just checked that and the loop button is not highlighted. But that’s something I didn’t know until now.

Thanks to everyone. I found that my video card was not up to the task.
I was using 3 monitors and I eliminated 1 monitor and everything
works great. I still don’t know how or why it worked before. I guess
I will have to get a CUDA card if I want 3 monitors. After using
Premier Pro I don’t think I need 3 monitors. My current arrangement
I use my 27″ for the program and use my 22″ monitor for viewing.
