Program screen goes blank – anyone had this issue
Posted by Andy Field on September 12, 2012 at 4:28 pmEditing in Premiere Pro CS6.0.2 on the latest version of LION on mac – all is good – and suddenly the program monitor goes blank – Composite video is selected in pull down – no work around other than to restart Premiere — any idea why this is happening?

Un-install 6.02. Re-install Premiere CS6. Update to CS6.01 (I did the update with a manual download from Adobe). Back to a stable system again.

September 13, 2012 at 9:54 pmIt doesn’t mean it’s unusable everywhere. Some users are finding it better than 6.01, results seem to be erratic from discussions across the forums.
I had lots of issues on initial update install, timeline not playing, or just playing audio, eventually crashing.
What I discovered after doing lots of maintenance was that if I closed the sequence in the timeline and then re-opened it, it played.In the end I was left with one final issue, the play and stop functions were not instant, ie. if I hit the space bar the play would take a few frames to stop.
Finally I un-installed and re-installed CS6, then upgraded to 6.01 (which worked well for me previously) and I now have a properly function system again.
From this I can only surmise the problem for my system was 6.02.Cinematographer, Steadicam Operator, Final Cut Pro Post Production.

December 3, 2012 at 7:36 pmditto to Robert Brown’s comment. I have a 2.53 ghz macbook pro i5 that I used the CUDA “hack” (see link below) on to get the video card usable by CUDA. Much faster, but had this issue – then turned it off, and bam!
Also did all the permissions / disk utility / uninstall&reinstall / disk change / pref dump deal without it helping.
Hey, at least it is a quick fix eh? Hoping this works better in AE.
