This caused me so much grief over the last day and a half.
Good old issue as everyone else. Hit play and the timeline play button switches to a stop symbol, showing it should be playing, however nothing does play.
I can scrub the timeline perfectly (no audio plays) but video scrubs past fine.
Tried the following to no avail:
– Deleted preferences
– Changed audio preference file
– Delete and reinstalled premiere
– Upgrade OS to Sierra
– Loaded project into a new project
None of these things worked.
Finally, I worked out that 1 particular sequence was triggering off the event (very large project).
I deleted this sequence and then saved the project. Loaded the whole project into a new project. then added just that sequence from a autosaved project where the problem was not existent. Finally this brought life back to premiere.
I have heaps of multicamera nested sequences throughout my sequences, and have been working on this project for months without issue. Deadline is getting closer and this was a massive curveball.
Just glad its over so I can get back to it.
