Video playback after using other application
I just switched to Premiere Pro CC from FCP7. If I use another application after I open PP, like Firefox or even finder, the play buttons within PP do not do anything. Both preview and source monitors are the same.
I have mapped Playback preferences to F1 on the keyboard, and going there and checking or unchecking the box for “Disable video output when in the background” seems to wake up the playback function. It doesn’t matter if it is checked or unchecked when I open up the prefs – just changing it to the other option fixes the issue.
This is not playback to an external video monitor – just on the mac monitor. And, it is not that I expect it to play while I am in another application, I just want it to play when I come back to PP and click play or hit the spacebar.
Thanks.

Hi Vince,
I’m unable to reproduce your issue but I’ve heard of similar things on Mac OS. What version of the OS are you running? Do you have any other 3rd party hardware installed?
You can try the solutions provided here: https://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/kb/playback-stops-loops-soundbooth-premiere.html
Also, so you are aware starting in Premiere Pro CS6 we introduced uninterrupted Playback. This means you can set your composition to continue to roll while you do other things, like correcting color (or even checking your email in another program). In previous versions, such multitasking–doing anything other than watching–would bring playback to a halt.

Thanks, Peter. I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8. And I just realized we are actually using CS6, not CC. Uninterrupted playback does work on the system.
We do have FCP on the system, an AJA box that isn’t compatible with Premiere but still spits a signal from FCP, and some other things. But nothing that would directly relate to Premiere.
Thanks!
