My problem was with CS3 not being to play back video out of the Timeline or composite window or through the firewire out to an external monitor. Video just stopped playing & locked up.

Then I remembered that I had a problem with a new hard drive crashing in the middle of something, I turned off that drive and used another drive and everything worked. Now I only use that drive for storage backup.

Process of alimanation….

RE: CS3 playback – Ron Blanchard,

Tim I had After Effects open today and was trying to import some files on a recently purchased hard drive a… ” Maxtor 500 GB, I bought it thinking about capturing live footage on location w/On Location (DV Rack)and all of a sudden AE just crashed and closed…then I remembered!!! I was unable to capture footage from my deck onto this drive through Premiere Capture….it just could not handle it even though it was attached via FW and supposed to be able to handle the through-put data size… SOOOO! I disconnected the drive and WALA! problem solved!

Thanks for the help,

I have thought of getting a new FW card and new cable, just haven’t done it yet. I have 2 different FW cards pci slot, and a FW input on the front side of the tower. Most of the slots are taken up with hard drives,, and I have tried different slots with the cable and have tried FW out of my Sony DSR-200 DVCAM camera. No issues as far as I know with putting in 6 pin upside down. I’ll get a new FW card & cable and see if that works, I should have done it first…process of elimination. I’ll let you know if that works.

Thanks again,

Ron

I have done 2 uninstalls/reinstalls (CS3). I have tried all kinds of Cameras/VTR mode, I just looked over all folders in Premiere to see if something from CineForm or anything unusual…nothing? I can no longer output to tape either. Thank God I have Premiere 2.0 on another PC and it works fine.

Thanks for trying to help.

Thanks Tim for the brain power….

When I first open a project (DV) connected by fire wire, Sony DSR-30 deck or cam…(I’ve tried all different types),the video passes through to the monitor for about 10-12 seconds then it goes away. So when I hit the play button the play head stays frozen and audio plays but at this point no A/V out through fire wire to deck any longer. Preview output settings are all where they should be to output when playing, and all project settings are set correctly. So with a frozen time line I turn off the deck and the play head now plays audio/video in the Premiere project monitor completely normal.

I Have not run Sherlock, but saw it in a link somewhere.

I’m not a gamer at all, but a content producer, and have rolled back Windows (system restore) two times to different times and have taken off all things I though might cause a problem….still nothing changed.

The only thing I can think of that I tried and it caused problems with Premiere was I tried “Aspect HD” trial version and it caused all kinds of issues so I uninstalled it but I think it left a bunch of codecs in the drop down window when you first setup a new project. If I remember correctly Premiere still worked after that and I can’t think of anything else that might have triggered this.

Thanks again for you assistance in trying to solve this.

Yes CS3 worked on my machine, and it is a DV time line. I have been editing with Adobe products since 1995 and have a well developed sense of how things work and have tweaked everything I know to do but this is a big question of why.

I have been using premiere since 1995 and just recently had the same problem with CS3 (and still do)and I’ve never had a game on my computer….It is a dedicated computer. That’s not to say I don’t have allot of software on it, 100% is for design purposes. So something else must be going on! I have reinstalled CS3 2 additional times to no avail. I noticed that while in the time line if I turn off the fire wire connected deck everything plays as normal so I’m thinking it has something to do with the “Device Control”… Any thoughts

I have re-installed Premiere CS3 2 times and that hasn’t corrected it, I have been using Adobe Premiere since 1995 and have never had a problem until now? Not only that but now I’m dropping frames….something change and I’m not sure either. I even restored Windows back to an earlier time when I thought the change happened and that also did nothing.

Have you found the problem? as I have had the same problem on CS3 and haven’t got it fixed yet.
