I am using Premiere Pro CS6 and have Nvidia Quadro K2000 graphics card.
Â
The 'video rendering and playback' section of the project settings is grayed out, not allowing me to access the mercury playback engine at all.
Â
How I can use mercury acceleration with this card?
I have a 27" iMac (late 2012) with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX graphics card running Mac OS 10.8.5.
Â
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.0.3, and when I updated my OS to 10.9 Maverick, I began to experience several problems, including:
Â
The dreaded spinning beachball and "Premiere not responding." "This project was last used with Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA) which is not available on your system. Mercury Playback Engine Software Only will be used.Video files - I think they were all .MOV - became "squished" to the top of the Program Monitor (movie only took up about 1/3 of program monitor window). After a long chat with Adobe Support, he indicated that the update to 10.9 Maverick was the problem, so I:
Â
Updated to Premiere 6.0.5, but that did not fix any of the issues.Logged in as "Root," which worked for a while but I also received 3 "Premiere encountered problem and must shut down."Deleted preferences, repaired permissions, basic troubleshooting practices, etc, but problems persisted.Â
Â
Eventually I restored my computer from a Time Machine backup to a day prior to the OS 10.9 update, and this seemed to fix all the issues. So I was back to Mac 10.8.5 and Premiere 6.0.3.
Â
But the .MOV-compressed-in-the-program-monitor problem began to surface again (see photo below).
 Â
So I updated to Premiere to 6.0.5 (but not my OS - it's still 10.8.5), and the "Mercury Playback Engine" error is back.
 Â
And the .MOV files are still compressed in the Program Monitor. I have a project that I completed in 6.0.3, but is now messed up in 6.0.5.
Â
Is the only solution downgrading to Premiere 6.0.3, and if so, must I do a clean install of the program from the DVD?
I use nvidia card with cuda support GeForce GTX 650 Ti. I was trying to enable Mercury Playback Engine on Premiere Pro and got this results. It's a footage applied on the top with transparency enabled. On the left side MPE is used. Software only on the right side. Why I get this lower quality with Mercury Playback Engine?
View 2 Replies View RelatedMy setup is a Mac Pro with GTX 680 card for mac.I bought this card, thinking it would do what Adobe advertised: "GPU Rendering - Work faster and take full advantage of your hardware with full GPU acceleration, now included in Adobe Media Encoder."
Â
I want to transcode FullHD H264 to XDCAM HD. GPU acceleration isn't happening. The GPU is idle, while the CPU does all the work. Sure, it I want do de-interlace or downscale to an SD Format, the GPU works. But apparently not for transcoding.
Â
Adobe should not suggest that AME can take full advantage of my hardware, because it can't.
After rendering a few clips in my timeline for playback, my video tracks are no longer playing back. The timeline time marker plays, the time counts, and the audio playback is working correctly, but the video stays on the frame in which playback started, and does not move change until pausing playback.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was watching through footage and choose a handful of clips ... my video worked fine. Then Friday I came back to start putting everything together and the clips "went blank," The audio could be heard and played back in real time, but the video displays as a black screen or a green screen. I tried rendering, but it said it would take 2+ hours to render the 1 minute of clips I had in my timeline. Even the sections that did end up rendering just showed a blank red screen. Clips are .MTS (which I've used in every project previously with no problem) shot with a Panaconic HMC-150.
Â
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on Windows 8, 64-bit operating system
Processor: Intel Core i7 CPU - 920 @ 2.67 GHz

The thing that gets me is that this has worked for months, even worked with these clips a few days ago, and now it seems like everything just vanished.
Mid-job (and of course now that I need to color correct), PP CC has stopped exporting video to my external monitor. I have tried trashing prefs (holding Shift+Opt at start-up) and it doesn't do the trick. In looking around, I've noticed people having this problem when using some BlackMagic cards, but my monitor is plugged directly into the Thunderbolt connector of my MacBook Pro. I've enclosed my Playback settings.Â
Â
Oddly enough, when I fire up my old copy of PP CS6 it plays back to my external monitor just fine.
Â
I've had had enough late-night edits that I may have inadvertently initiated some keystroke that changed a setting, but I can't think of what that would be or why a Preference Trash wouldn't reset it. Â
Using Premiere cs6.Audio keeps dropping out during playback. Audio is present in the export.The audio drops out at random and drops back in at random.
Â
I have tried everything from converting my wav to an mp3/aiff, moving my cache and preview files (and changing my scratch locations) to my computer from my external hard drive, creating a new project, deleting the pek files, even closing all apps.
Â
This is something that just started happening out of nowhere in the middle of a project and has gotten worse and worse with use.
No playback in timeline or viewers for most projects. Task Manager shows that PrPro CC is doing something, but no visible effect. Scrubbing works, but no audio. Happens mostly on single-track sequences 1920x1080 and larger. My system: (PC) hexacore 3.34 GHZ (12 CPUs), 32 GB Ram, RAID-0, GTX 770 Adobe certified graphics. Worked great before. A bug in the last update (02-19-2014)?

Edited on Premiere Pro CS5.
Â
What format should he use to export so he gets great quality but it can also play without the computer stuttering and dying etc? We've debated between H.264 (mpeg 4 file format) or DVD Blu Ray.MPEG 2 (or some Quicktime format?)
Â
Do we choose h.264 and bump up the bitrate to maximum? Stick with the preset recommendation? There also is h.'264 bluray'..have no idea what difference that makes.
Â
We're not experts on codecs and resolutions etc.Premiere Pro presents this plethora of options.
Â
We want to choose....File ...Export....a format and preset (and maybe adjust a setting or two) and get the best result.
I have encountered this problem on all recent Premiere projects I've worked on with a variety of audio types. My audio is cutting in and out in a seemlingly random way while the video keeps running fine. Sometimes the audio will play fine for 15 seconds then stop, sometimes it stops and starts after about 2 seconds. I have tried adjusting all of my preferences, settings, audio types, and even video types but the problem always comes back. Spoke to a friend who's new to Premiere and he's having the same problem. Considering moving back to FCP despite the weak interface.
Â
Currently I am editing Canon 5d Mkii footage at 1080p, 29.97 fps. I am using none of the audio attached to the video clips - only editing to a separate m4a music track. My audio is at 44100 Hz. I am playing back video at 1/4 quality. I am running a fully updated Mac Powerbook with a 2.6GHz Intel Core i5 and 8gb of RAM.
When capturing HDV clip with Premier Pro CC and playing it in the timeline, the video stutters. I play the same captured clip in Windows Media Player, and it look great. I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CC.-Version 7.2.1(4)

The footage plays fine in the editing suite until I add an effect then the playback is extremely slow and jerky even after render. I am new to PPCC and I've just moved from FCP 7 as it didn't recognise the footage at all.

Currently working off of a portable 1TB G-Technology G-DRIVE via FW800.
Working in Premiere Pro CS6 Version 6.0.2
Editing in a sequence with settings:
1920 x 1080 23.976fps (also tried in a 29.97fps timeline with same issue)
Working with footage that is 23.98fps
Working with a combination of ProRes 422 (LT) and native H.264 Quicktime files strait from a 5D Mark 3.
Â
The issue I'm having is during playback the audio will competely drop out. The video will continue playing on just fine but the audio drops completely out. All audio levels drop as well in the audio mixer meters so it truly is losing all communication with my audio layers in the timeline.
I read in other forums to go into Finder and delete out the .caf files, re open Premiere Pro, wait for them to be recreated then carry on. I tried this approach with no luck. Deleting the .caf did not change anything. Audio is still dropping out as I try to play through my timeline. The only way to get the audio back is to pause then press play again. I have 5 total channels of audio with only 2 of those channel active.
This is incredibly frustrating have to export out a video just to be able to watch it through.
When editing a multicamera sequence, I keep running into this weird phenomenon where I can't stop the playback. I hit the space bar, start making cuts, then when I want to stop I hit the space bar again and nothing happens. The sequence keeps playing, sometimes stopping after a couple a minute or so, sometimes not until the end of the sequence.
Â
The nested multi-cam sequence has just 4 streams of DSLR video. The machine I'm using has plenty of CPU power and memory and an nVidia GPU, so I'd be surprised if resources are a problem. The source media is on a Raid-0 array.
Â
I've tried switching the resolution to 1/4, but this makes no difference. I have several layers of audio but have solo'ed just one to see if that would work. No.
I just upgraded to Premiere Pro CC and Speedgrade CC specifically to use the Dynamic Link btween these two programs. Exporting from Premiere to Speedgrade works great, but upon returning to Premiere, none of the clips that have the Lumetri effect added will play. The timeline and the audio play, but the video remains frozen on the last effect-free shot.
Â
I noticed that Premiere can play the preloaded Lumetri Looks, but whenever I try to apply the Lumetri effect that recalls a saved look, again it freezes.
Â
I have a nVidia Quadro 200 GPU, and I even updated to the latest driver hoping that would solve something, but no go.
ever since I updated to the newest version of quicktime, any file using the Quicktime animation codec stutters and freezes on playback.
Â
This has happened before, and rolling back to previous versions worked then, but isn't working now.
Â
I've gone far enough as to format the computer and reinstall everything, but the problem still occurs. Every other codec seems to work fine. I can work around it by using other export methods, but it's a problem when I need to edit previous or co-workers projects on my machine.

A few months back, I spent a bucket of gold on upgrading to a new high end computer.

SSD Harddrive as main
2 extra harddrives
None of them are in RAID though.
Â
But here's my problem. In the beginning, editing in After Effects CC and Premiere CC was smooth as butter.However, lately, especially Premiere has started giving me issues.
Â
At the moment, I'm editing to 1080p footage, in h.264 format. There's a few effects on it, such as an overlay 720p footage, using Red Giant Looks twice (on one adjustment layer, and on the footage itself), and some other minor stuff like curves and such.
Â
The effects don't seem to matter much though. Even if I play back the footage with no effects at all, playback is still choppy.
Â
I have playback set to 25% size, and 1/4 resolution, and I still only get what I would guess is around 5-10 frames per second. Sometimes it drops completely, down to just 1 or 2 frames per second. Heck, at times it just doesn't update at all for a few seconds.
Â
When I check my CPU usage, everything is fine. It hasn't reached max at all. RAM is still PLENTY (usually around 20gb left), and it seems that both harddrives (Premiere is running on the SSD and the files used are on another harddrive) aren't maxed out either in capacity.
Â
This isn't JUST Premiere, as I said, I've seen a decline in After Effects performance as well.
Â
I've attached 3 screenshots, of my CPU usages, and the 2 harddrives, showing a few minutes playback in Premiere.
Â
CPU Usage:
Â

Â
As you can see, apart from a few spikes here and there, none of them seem to be having issues with capping out. RAM is sitting at a steady 30% usage.
I'm new to Premiere Pro CS6,I thought I had a pretty powerful computer all things considered. Basically, what's happening is the moment I put any sort of basic video effects on a clip, (e.g. "brightness & contrast" or "fast color corrector") the video playback (but not the audio) becomes extremely choppy and laggy. Playback and overall performance are excellent before I put effects on. It's just the moment I put some on it slows down tremendously.Â

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently installed Photoshop CS4 along with the production premium package on my workstation, a Dell Precision 690 (XP 64 bit).
The video card in this workstation is listed under the device manager as a 3450/4000 SDI - I installed the graphics driver for the Quadro FX 3450 dated January '09, and I'm still unable to use openGL features in photoshop. (Graphics hardware acceleration is unavailable)
I read that the 3450 is not on the supported/tested list of video cards released for CS4.
Any ideas on a fix for this? Tomorrow if I have no answers or options I'll just re-install CS2. CS4 is about 5x slower than CS2 at the moment, drawing on-screen with large files chugs along in square chunks, where it would display perfectly smooth in CS2, with only very minor hangs when zooming large (100mb+) files.
