No Video in Source Window or Program Window
Newest model MacBook Pro
Intel T9900 at 3.06GHz
Nvidia 9600M GT
4GB RAM
256 SSD
Boot Camp w/ Windows 7 64bit
Premiere Pro CS4I’ve been using Premiere CS4 for quite a while on a previous laptop, also running Win7 64bit. Everything works great on it even though it’s a much more inferior machine than this one.
I shoot video with a JVC GY-HM100. I tried pulling a video into Premiere Pro CS4 yesterday, shot in MP4 format. It won’t play at all within Premiere. It plays fine in VLC and on the other laptop.
I also imported a normal MP4 file created on the other computer in Premiere. There was no video imported for this footage. It was just a series of After Effects compositions I put together. This file also will not play within Premiere.
This is a fairly fresh install of the OS so I wasn’t expecting any problems.
Since the problem, I have been playing around with codecs thinking that may be the problem. I have installed xvid, divx, ffdshow, etc with no affect. The only thing that even remotely worked was when I installed the demo of the MainConcept plugin. It worked fine in the source window, but still wouldn’t play in the program window. I have since deleted that codec since I don’t have it installed on the other laptop which plays all of these files just fine.
The other strange thing is when I close a window that is open on top of Premiere. Parts of the previously open window remain on top of the source window and program window, leading me to believe it’s a graphics card problem or something. Here is a screen recording of what I’m trying to explain: https://www.vimeo.com/7689667
I have reinstalled the boot camp drivers several times, including the video card driver. That also had no affect. I even completely removed CS4 and reinstalled with no affect. I’m losing my mind. Without video editing abilities within Windows 7 64Bit, this very expensive laptop is almost useless to me.
Any help will be much appreciated.

Just for kicks and giggles, I created a new, non-hd, project and imported the “wildlife.wmv” sample video provided with a standard install of Win7. Even with that video playing in the timeline and source windows, there is no video.
Could this be a diver issue with the bootcamp video drivers?

Problem solved. I downloaded the Dox driver from https://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/topic/24003-forceware-185-85/page__s__c3f9f2a011dd8914ac2e7da89abfd2d4, selected Hybrid SLI during the install and now everything is functional (after a couple of restarts).

Hi,
I seem to have the exact same problem only I will probably not be able to use the drivers suggested by brit.
I (try to) run PPro CS4 with Win 7 x64 on both a laptop (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xi2550-31P with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2700 and 4GB ram) and on a desktop (ASRock 4Core1333-FullHD with WinFast PX8600 GT TDH, Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz and 8GB ram). Evrything works as it did earlier when I had Vista x64 except for this very major problem, (i.e. I get no video in the source or program windows).
Anyone know of a solution or am I forced to return to Vista (I really prefer not to since almost evrything else on the computers works better on Win 7)?best regards

I think it’s safe to say you have a video card driver problem. If you focus your efforts there and are unsuccessful, you will have to revert to a platform with a working driver for your card.

Hi Britt,
I think you are right. On my laptop I finally got it working by replacing the OEM drivers with the ones from ATI, only I had to use something called mobility modder to get the ATI drivers working (apparently Fujitsu-Siemens wont allow support for my graphics card in the ATI driver pack despite the fact that they do not update the drivers themself.
On the desktop it was a bit easier since windows update had drivers for that card which I earlier rejected since I belived it was better with the original vendors drivers (obviously not so).So no it works and I really hope it continue do so.
Thanks for the input.
regards Joakim -
I’m glad you got it to work. I know how frustrating it is.
