Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Quicktime Freezes giving an extra long timeline

  • Quicktime Freezes giving an extra long timeline

    Posted by Sean Mcculley on November 2, 2009 at 3:29 am

    I’m opening up some .movs that are about 2 minutes long in Quicktime Pro and the last frame freezes while the timeline continues to play for another 15 minutes or so.

    When I import them into Premiere CS4 they do the same thing. The clip freezes on the last frame shot while the timeline continues to play for awhile.

    I took my mac to the Apple store where they tried one of my clips in FCP and the clip length matched the video length. They suggested to reinstall my OS – but I wanted to check with you guys first.

    I also thought when this first happened that the video would freeze while the audio played on.

    Has anyone ever seen this or has a clue to fix it?

    Premiere CS4
    Quicktime 7.6.4
    Mac OS 10.5.8

    Thanks!
    Sean

    Hi Sean,

    Is this happening when your opening just a few specific files or when you open every file? If it’s just a few .movs that do this then they’ve probable been corrupted in some way. Since your using Quicktime Pro, you could just clip of the excessive length and save as a new file.

    Try it, maybe it will help.

    Quicktime Pro is virtually useless. If you import mov.H264 files into Premiere Pro, render them first ( otherwise they will freeze or work slowly) particularly 1920 x 1080 High definition , there should be no problems. Ps., We work in PAL.

    Sorry for double up. Hope it helps.
