Hi,

Thank you for your advice. So i tried a couple of variations with no success but things did happen. Can you let me know your thoughts on these.

So I tried as you suggested and rendered out to a usb stick.

1st:

Settings: Quicktime – DV/NTSC

When i hit ‘Render’ still nothing apears to happen and the ‘Total Time Elapsed’ stays at 0. However, when i hit ‘Stop’ i do not get the warnings. When i check the USB i can see a file there but it is only 1.2mb and does not play.

I have tried with multiple variations and nothing seems to provide results. The best i have got is by using

AVI / DV (24p advanced) and this results in a 300kb file that just plays a second of sound (from a 5 seconds video comp)

Other variations were:

Quicktime / Animation
Quicktime / MPEG4

Each time this does create the file but they are just 188kb in size and do nothing.

Any other advice massively welcome.

Kind regards

Oli

Even stranger!!!!

Have now noticed that if i mess about with minimising premiere, then opening a browser in one of my normal monitors the playback screen comes up on the 3rd monitor. I can even playback through it. But if i maximise premiere again it just plays for a few seconds and then playback drops of the 3rd monitor.

Very bizarre as the 3rd monitor is still operating. can move my mouse across, open things on it etc…

Hi Chris, thanks for your reply.

I have just checked the settings and on my machine and the option for ‘Mercury playback in software only’ is greyed out and permanently set to this.

I do not use AE yet so do not know.

Bizarrely i can be using Premiere for up to an hour before the freeze happens and sometimes within seconds of opening it up.

It doesn’t happen at any other time with any other program.

Does this indicate and possibilities?

Hi Ryan,

thanks for your reply.

I have done a complete reinstall since got the computer back and still the same issues.

I have installed the drivers for the Card and it says they are upto date if I check but is there a good way I can find out exactly which combo i should be using?

I cant find a decent certified list of supported GPU’s adobie’s own website just says it needs to support openGL 2. and up and my is running 4.3.0. Nvidias list is short and insanely expensive and the card I have although not on the list seems pretty good as far as they go. Would be nuts for it to cause may computer to just totally freeze if I dont have one of Nvidias 5 options…?

Any thoughts?
