Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Timeline won’t play

  • Timeline won’t play

    Posted by Sandy Brown on October 15, 2009 at 9:19 pm

    I’m on premiere pro CS3 and the timeline has decided not to play when the play “arrow” is clicked.
    (note: once arrow is clicked it changes to the “square” for stop, but no time passes on the the timeline, no other activity, nothing. Just the play/stop icon will change symbol but no activity.

    I have to close the project and open it again. It will work fine , for a while, and then not respond without warning to the play click.

    Please advise

    Do you have virus or spyware scanners running?
    Is your video drive full and/or badly fragmented?
    Is your video drive external USB?

    Start>Run and enter dxdiag
    look at each page near the bottom…should say “No Problems found”

    I am running projects on my Mac. Made the switch little over a year ago from P.C.

    The problem is happening on both when I retrieve project from external drive and/or destop harddrive.

    I have switched to mac, so I do not have access to defragging the drives.
