Hey, just tried this in 2023 and its still an issue, thankfully someone wrote an online script that converts it for you free.

In Preferences->Audio there is a check box that says “auto generate peak file” … you could click that. You could. If you wanted. Not actually sure it does anything. But again, you could click it. Made me feel better.

Also, I have a “real” mac and have the same issue.

I do love how some people get scared of Hackentosh computers. Like just because a factory in China made a “real” Mac its somehow flawless. All machines have flaws.

Anyway, same stupid issue. you quit, then it crashes. Premiere is wicked buggy on a Mac (and its a brand new 2015 iMac top line specs clean install). might be time to go back to William Gates. Where it’s ok to build your own box.

I believe, my friends, I have found an answer.

The situation: I have two identical drives. I want to bring a sequence from one project into the other project. Each time, using “import” I would get the sequence, and a bin full of dupe media.

Solution: move the entire project from one drive to the other. Rename it. Make sure the original drive is disconnected. Open that project. It will not find media automatically. Relink, easy peasy. Save as a different name. Open the other project, do import, sequence, ipso facto, no dupe media.

Basically you have to relink the media first to the old project, then import the sequence into the new project.

Janky? Yes. Works? Yes.

I use cargo collective. Pretty robust, and if you want to get in the CCS you can to do tweaks, but its pretty plug and play and works on all platforms.

I’ve been looking at squarespace as an alternative. its even more drag and drop and has some better tools (like if you want to run a blog as well).

Im with you David… I’m at a loss…

I cannot believe how bad the playback is in Premiere Pro CC, and, how little help there is out there. Raw MOVs from a 5D plays back like garbage on my laptop OR 8 core Mac Pro. Its ridiculous. I’m better off transcoding to ProRes and using FCP which works, or God forbid, go back to using Avid like its 1999. Unfortunately It has nothing to do with the two graphic cards or 32 gigs of memory I have either, it just plays back like garbage. Using the JKL keys is completely awkward because the lag between hitting the key and playback is excruciating. I’m at 1/2 resolution and it cant play back footage without being choppy. no FX, and the footage and hardrive is on a 6g SSD. This should be screaming.

I love how “render your sequence” is a valid solution. Another valid solution is “use a program that works”.

Adobe, seriously, live up to your other products standards, they are so good, why does this one just bomb?

I had the same issue, here was the fix:

I had the same project on two different computers (so I could work at home, or the office, and just bring the new project file with me instead of all the media). I put the new project file in the designated folder. All the media came on line no problem because the project and all the folders with media are mirrored on both drives. HOWEVER some of the files had these diagonal stripes. Weird.

The footage in question was shot at 60fps. I had modify>interpret it to playback at 25fps at home, but not at work yet, so premiere was obviously confused. What I realized was that although you interpret footage within the project, it must modify the source files, so my source footage at home was 25fps, but here, was still at 60fps.

Matching back to the file in the project off of the timeline showed them all at 60fps. I changed them all to 25fps and ipso facto the stripes be gone.

For me it was a frame rate issue, but I imagine that those diagonals would happen any time some attribute of the source is different then what the project expects.

Hope that helps.
