  • Trouble playing back in CS5.5

    Posted by Chris O’neal on July 18, 2011 at 7:33 pm

    I just got 5 brand new 12-core 32GB Ram, 8TB Raid, NVidia Quadro 4000 Mac Pro’s… with the intent of running CS5.5 on them without having to transcode much. But whenever I drop an h.264 clip (from a Canon 7D) onto a Blackmagic timeline, it plays for 2 seconds, and then stops. No error or anything. Just stops. Anyone have any ideas?

    In the Project Window, have you dragged the h.264 source material onto the New Sequence icon to create a sequence based upon its attributes?

    If so, do you have a red, yellow or no coloured line above the work area bar in the timeline?

    If you have a red bar, there is an incompatibility between the sequence settings and source material.

    Try this:

    In the PP CS5.5 program preview window, click the output pull down, and choose “playback settings.” Check the “turn off dropped frame warning.”

    This worked well for me, hopefully it will help.
