PPro CS3 stops playing when application window is inactive
Hi,
When I am working on a project, I sometimes need to open other applications, go to other folders or simply have a webpage up on my second monitor and read stuff while expecting PPro to keep playing. This was possible with PPro 2.0.
Now PPro CS3 stops playing the footage, be it in the source window or timeline, as soon as I click on something else.
Basically, no playback when PPro window is inactive… I am getting a bit annoyed as most of the time I need to play my footage in PPro while typing notes/script etc in another application.
Any ideas how to sort this out?
Thanks.
Cenk

Correction… It was 1.5 not PPro2.0 that worked fine in the background…

right click on your program window select “Playback Settings”
and uncheck the box ‘disable video output when in the background’
i believe that may solve your problems

Unfortunately, ‘disable video output when in the background’ setting is for an external TV or a monitor. It doesn’t work for my problem…
All I want to do is keep PPro run when I am doing other stuff on the same computer monitor…
Thanks anyway…

There is unfortunately no way to work around this behaviour. PPro releases resources when it loses focus to allow other applications to use those resources.
You can make requests directly to Adobe to change this behaviour in a future version of PPro.

Windows Media Player. iTunes. QT Player should playback video without stopping to then type away notes in whatever other app you want to use.
