Premiere Pro CS6 loses ability to play clips

I’m assuming you tried rebooting the computer?

I had a similar problem a few years ago with Red One footage. The problem was corrupted frames in the source files and anytime I tried to render it would crash premiere.

I’ve tried rebooting, trashing the preferences, making sure the loop button wasn’t checked, etc. Nothing has corrected.

I’d rule out a bad red file as I can’t play any media. I’ve created a new project and sequence and tried many different types of media and I cannot play a single one of them. I can drag the playhead through the timeline and the media does scrub, but no playing at all.

so disregard – I gave up and deleted everything and reloaded CS6. It works for now, but I’m not going to press my luck. I’ll finish up on something more stable.

I have run into this occasionally on CS5.5. It will be working fine one day and not the next or by changing to a different project and back. As silly as this sounds it resolves itself if I go into playback settings and disable drop frame warning and re-enable. Then it and I are happy again.

I have solved this problem several times by cleaning out the cache from the Preferences/Media window.
