Oh and I forgot to mention this consistent occurence; when I try to exit out of Premiere when it has lost the ability to play, it only closes the project and doesn’t bring up the startup screen, or if instead of exiting I try to open another project or create a new project it again only closes the current project. I have to tell it twice to get it to open or create new or exit.

Ok so after (possibly unnecessarily) reimaging my PC laptop and then transferring everything off my RAID 0 drive I reformatted the RAID 0 for Mac, transferred everything back onto it, and am now working on a Mac Pro tower (a.k.a. garbage can looking thing), I ended up being able to go back a few auto-saves and so now I’ve got myself a working project…..but this morning after finally getting back into the swing of things after being down for 8 days, I made a cut in the audio of a nested sequence and now Premiere will no longer play my timeline or anything in the source monitor AGAIN.
And the only way I can get Premiere to open and play any other projects after this happens is to restart the computer. This project however will not play anymore no matter what I do. Thoughts? Theories? Words of encouragment to get me off this window ledge (metaphorically speaking, don’t worry) after mistakenly thinking I was back in action after 8 days of troubleshooting followed by a few hours of editing only to be slapped in the face again with the same issue? -
I don’t have an answer to this but my coworker was experiencing a very similar issue, alignment was off by maybe a couple mouse pointer widths. Not sure what fixed his problem. I chalk it up to what seems to be Premiere’s main initiative, “More bugs, less features”.

Whoa I just opened a project that previously wouldn’t play and it played! But then closed it (and it closed perfectly, bringing me to startup window as it should) and I closed Premiere and then reopened that same project and it wouldn’t play anymore. Reminds me a bit of how sometimes I open a project and I get the message saying this was opened last using the whatever it’s called graphic GUI processor which isn’t available at the moment, and so I have to close Premiere and open it again because for some reason the first attempt didn’t properly load that GUI processor thing.

Well I think I may have figured out why Premiere is creating duplicate cfa and pek files. When I open my project and I see it trying to conform a file, I close Premiere without saving my project and then reopen the project. If it tries to conform again I repeat. It seems to let Premiere “catch up”…it’s as if Premiere is asking itself where are these cfa and pek files, but then not giving itself enough time to answer that question so it just starts creating new ones. But if I open the project up a couple times, it’s like it gets it wound up so it’s ready to show itself where these files are so there’s no confusion and it then properly uses the original cfa and pek files. Not sure how this is possible but it seems to be the fix.

Anyone else having this problem? This still is happening to me everytime I switch between my laptop and desktop. All files live on my external harddrive. Very annoying because I have to wait an hour or more to work on my project once I’ve opened it up (usually due to not being able to hear audio because other files are in line ahead of certain files in the “conforming” list). Wish there was a way to force conform.

I’m on 2014.1 so still not sure what’s going on.

One thing now that I’ve tried that worked for me was I deleted the multicam sequence that didn’t want to work in the timeline, and then made a new one (shift clicked all files with the common in points and created multicam sequence for the second time, no different than the first time I did it). Drug that sequence into the timeline and wow it works for no reason. So depending on the mood Premiere is in when you create the multicam sequence it seems it may or may not work. This software seems so advanced it’s almost human.

Still having this problem. And it’s completely random. I thought I had the fix but then it turns out that it was just a one time stroke of luck. I deleted the non-working multicam sequence from my timeline and then grabbed it from the project folder and dropped it back in and wallah it worked. I’ve tried that on many since but without any success. Really annoying spending time syncing up 5 or 6 cameras and audio and then multi-cam just doesn’t work. I almost miss FCP telling me “your multicam sequence must contain assets with the same pixel dimensions and framerate”.
