Thanks. I’ll give it a shot. (My card, BTW, is NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX 2048 MB)

Peter,

Thanks so much for explaining. I had no clue about the Mac’s “hidden” library. I did clear that out, and it took a long time for the project to reconstruct itself.

When done, the audio was still dropping out quite a bit.

Then, as Eric Bowen suggested, I cleaned out the cache via the media section of the preferences within Premiere Pro CC.

After that the audio played through without stopping. That was encouraging. But, alas, it was still not right. There were subtle pops and cracks under it all, intermittently. Not very clean audio at all.

Export, however, is totally fine. It’s just playback within Premiere. (Makes mixing pretty tough.)

Thanks for all your help. I can soldier through this project, mixing audio in short bits and pieces, but a long term solution will be necessary. If you have any more thoughts, please let me know.

Eric,

Thanks. That was really helpful. Clearing the cache this way helped but did not solve my problem. In other words, my audio still has subtle, static “pops” intermittently under.

However, unlike before, at least it seems to play without stopping and cutting out entirely.

This will help so I can finish the project, but I will need to find a long term solution.

Thanks so much.

Is the media cache folder the one called “Adobe Premiere Pro Preview Files,” with a subfolder comprised of the project name and extension .PRV?

Thanks,
Pete

Thanks for taking the time to reply to my rant. (I was frustrated last night.)

The file path you list isn’t exactly the same on my iMac. I find this path:

MacHD/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common

Then, in the “Common” folder I have 3 folders:

dynamiclink
dynamiclinkmediaserver
Plug-ins

Are these to be trashed?

Also, about my system:

iMac OSX 10.9.1 “Mavericks”
2.93 Intel Core i7
ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024MB

Thanks, again for all your help. Please advise if I should trash the above three folders

No I/O, just working off the computer.

This project was shot on a Sony F5. Audio is embedded on the .mxf video files. Music from an .aiff file.

Previous project shot on a Nikon DSLR. Also had problems, though this time it’s worse.

In both cases, the problem only appears towards the end of editing. So, in this case, I got through 5 days of editing with no issues, and only in the final stages, did the playback begin to fail.

I’m sorta figuring it out now. I needed to give it a “Category Name.” Then it allowed me to publish.

Thanks. I’m on 10.6. Just made a simple Final Cut Pro Title project with one line of type.
