Unable to view video in Premiere Pro CC 2017
Well, I’ve been using Premiere for a long time now but I just installed the 2017 version yesterday. Prior to this I had been using the 2015 version for a long time with no issues whatsoever!
Anyways, I’m having this weird issue and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or if I’m just being stupid but I just can’t preview my videos in premiere! I’m doing the same stuff I do, I import my video, make a sequence out of it and I see my video/audio in the timeline but I can’t see the video playback anywhere! If I press the spacebar, I can hear the audio just fine but the video is nowhere to be found.
Here’s an image of what I see on my screen in Premiere: https://i.imgur.com/LfPNZcv.png
As you can see above, I have my video and my timeline, but the editing panel is just empty. Can someone please help me out here? I’ve tried googling this issue but I haven’t found a relevant post anywhere.

Did you uninstall cc 2015? If you still have it did you try to open that clip in it successfully? cc 2017 is so friggin’ weird I had to go back to cc 2015.4. All sorts of problems with my opacity pen tool. Yesterday I tried installing again, and now the opacity tool draws a mask but nothing happens, it doesn’t mask out anything.
If you googled the problem and nothing came back you’ll have a long wait. It means no one else has had that problem. You might want to try re-installing it, if anything.

What is the format/frame rate/resolution of the footage/sequence? Do you have GPU acceleration turned on?

Well I actually uninstalled and reinstalling the following versions: 2017(11.0.0), 2015.3 (10.4.0) and 2015.3 (10.3.0) and none of them seemed to to show me video. Finally, I went back and installed the 2015 version and everything is back to normal so I guess I’m gonna stick with good ol’ 2015 for now coz the rest are just too buggy. Really hope there will be a fix for this though!

It’s a Full HD, MP4 (H.264), 60FPS video. All my videos are always the same fps and same format and like I mentioned in the post, I am doing nothing new so I find it very strange that premiere is being so buggy.
Anyways, I tried versions 2017(11.0.0), 2015.3 (10.4.0) and 2015.3 (10.3.0) and none of those were playing back the video in the editing panel. Now I am using the 2015 version and everything seems to be playing perfectly right off the bat so I’m not really sure what the issue was in the above mentioned versions.

just rename the top folder media name on your hd, delete media cache and reimport again. its a glitch

I have reverted back to 2015 version and I’m not having that issue anymore.
However, can you please elaborate on what you meant by renaming the “top folder media name”? I’d still like to know just in case for future references, thanks!

if you video is in a folder called weddingstuff, rename it to weddingstuff2 or something, delete media cache and reimport. the problem does crop up in many different versions of premiere.

Thanks! I’ll keep this in mind if I ever want to switch back to 2017 and I face the same issues. Hopefully by then the issue is fixed! Anyways, for now I think I’m gonna stick with 2015 🙂
