Premiere Pro CC timeline won’t playback

[Elise London]

I had issues with my timeline not playing back. I tried exporting/importing XML from Premiere Pro CC to Final Cut Pro. Then from there exporting/importing XML back from Final Cut into Premiere Pro CC.

It works!

I am having the same issue– my project timeline suddenly doesn’t play audio. The audio waveforms exist for some clips, but have disappeared for others.

I have opened the project on several computers, and the problem remains. If I reimport the audio, it won’t play in either the timeline or the source monitor, although the media plays fine in all other applications.

I have tried deleting render files, starting new sequences, muting/soloing/turning off eyeballs, changing every setting, changing computers. I am trying to avoid FCP, if possible.

Naturally, my project is due shortly, so thank you in advance for all ideas!

Hello

After installing cc 2014, I have the same issue again.
I made a note after it’s first occurrence.
Luckily the the same procedure worked again.

– Deleting all preview files.
– Under menu preferences -> Media, cleaning Media Cache Database
– Making sure that preferences -> Audio Hardware is set to Built-in

I’m not sure if all steps are mandatory. Scientific clue would demand to go step by step.

But it surely did the trick for me.

Thanks for the audio hardware settings tip!

Had the same issue with timeline not playing. I simply changed the “Audio Hardware” in “Preferences” from “System Default” to specifying my audio interface which is “Digidesign Mbox 2”

I’m on 2011 imac, 12 GB Ram, OSX 10.10.4 and I use an old mbox 2 as my audio interface.
