No playback in Premiere Pro CS4
I have a 9 month old Apple Mac Pro w/ OSX 10.6.4
I have CS4 w/ Premiere Pro v. 4.2.1
I have a NVDIA GeForce GT 120
No gamesI was working on a project the other day, opened up a different application to preview a clip (the viewer that came with my camera) and when I came back to Premiere, its like it had forgotten to play. When I open a clip in the source file and press play, nothing. When I press play in the timeline, nothing. Even the itty bitty preview window in the top left corner doesn’t work. All the video is there, I can scroll and shuttle through everything. This is for every project I have, not just the one I was workign on. When I first would enter a project and hit play I would get a message saying “Rendering Required Fields”
I figured it was the preview softwares fault (although I had used it before w/ no problems) so I uninstalled that and tried again. Nothing.
I decided to just reinstall CS4. Did that, ran adobe updater and tried again. Nothing.
I ran the disk utility from the start disk and it did find and repair errors in my main drive, but this still didn’t solve the problem.
I’m beginning to think its my video card’s fault, but of course NVIDIA doesn’t support Apple OSX drivers for the GeForce line.
Any ideas?

the viewer that came with the camera……………
Try uninstalling this. Your problem seemed to happen when you ran this programme.
Just a thought!

Yep that was one of the first things I did, still no playback.

Was there a point at which everything seemed to work fine or have you never had it working?

Yes, it was working fine until I used a 3rd party software to preview some clips. I assume that is what corrupted everything. I uninstalled the software, but its still not playing.

In which case you may need to un-install this software and Premiere and then re-install the latter. Occasionally, software leaves a residue in registry which can affect other programs – particularly if they share resources. You need a bit of a cleanout I think. Adobe have their own Cleaner for Premiere available from the website.
I’m sorry I can’t be more specific with advice but often it’s a case of trial and error.
