premiere monitor only displays when timeline is playing
I’m hoping someone here can help me. I’m working on a pretty heavy deadline here and this is certainly not the time for messing around! I’m using adobe Premiere Pro CS3 3.0.1. About a week ago as I was working on an extremely large project (about 2.5 hours in length) things in premiere started to slow down drastically. Although at that time I was still able to see video when I was editing. Now upon switching to my new project I can only see moving video in the monitor window when I hit play (spacebar) and no other time. Whether I’m dragging the slider in the timeline or advanceing in the timeline using the left/right arrows only a stilll image is displayed. Also, when I try and preview files in the source window the same problems occur. I have ample space on my hard drives (80GB+) and I have been running myself ragged the last couple days trying to remedy the problem. 2 days ago I wasn’t even able to capture anything as my computer would freeze following any attempts. I finally used system recovery to reverse my computer’s setup back a month when everything was honky-dory. That took care of the capturing issues but Now I’m left with this. Also everything for some reason requires rendering, regardless of whether any effects have been added or not. And if the video is unrendered and I try to play it all I get is a black window in the monitor. Does anyone have any answers? I’ve scanned for viruses using AVG and found nothing! ARGH!

Suggestions;
1. Update CS3 to 3.1 (from 3.01).
2. Update video card drivers.[tersmi] “Also everything for some reason requires rendering”
Do your Project settings match your source video…did you accidentally choose a PAL project? -
First update to 3.1. Then create a new project and import the existing, troublesome project. Both steps may help. Also check whether your system may become overwhelmed by the size of the project. What is your disk setup and is it DV or HDV you are editing?
