View Full Version : Premiere pro CS3 Timeline Skipping

I use P-Pro CS3 with Cineform files captured from my HV30. I remove the 2-3 pulldown (shot in 24P) when I capture from the HV30 via Cineform HDLink or within Cineform Prospect in P-Pro.

I use the Cineform project Preset that matches my video (i.e. Propect HD 1440x1080 23.976P). Within the project I import my Cineform AVI High Def files along with my audio files (in this case some WAV music files). I compile the cips in the timeline like I have done hundreds of times. For this project, and past projects that I've had this issue with, I remove the audio from each clip in the timeline and place a single music track on another track. When I play back the sequence from the timeline I get a skipping effect. In my most current project the track plays smooth until the scrubber gets to one clip in the segment (about half way through) that I increased the speed of. The music then skips like a broken record. The video continues to play forward and the scrubber stays still. This sometimes happens randomly. In this case it skips when it gets to a clip with a change (i.e. speed) and in some cases it just skips when the scrubber is between two clips with not changes or effects.

I've sent emails to Cineform. So far... no solution. I've defraged with Diskeeper, updated all my drivers, I upgraded from Apect to Prospect, played with the setting in Cineform, played with the settings in P-Pro, Checked my video card settings, reinstalled P-Pro CS3 and Cineform Prospect, checked the integrity of my video and audio files.

I'm running Vista-64. Here is some of my general system info. I'll list more details if anyone asks for it: I am at the end of my rope with this skipping. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You edit in Draft mode, yes?

Mmmmm.

I have to admit I'm not sure I know what you mean by draft mode. Can you tell me more?


EDIT - If you are referring to the playback. No.. I always have it set for "Highest Quality"

Thanks...

I had the exact same problem. Go to your viewing screen > click the button on the top right (kind of looks like a play button) and look for 'DRAFT.'

The timeline will stop skipping.

This is the same as clicking on the little (three color balloon) icon called "output" that is in the program monitor (lower right). Mine is set for Highest Quality. Unless you mean something else. I did clicked that button (looks like small playback button - top right). I get the same options.

Will draft quality reduce the quality of playback? I.E. Wont the quality suffer on playback? You are both suggesting I set to Draft? Right?

Thanks for the help?

Yes, it will be a bit less, but it doesn't matter, as this is just for preview purposes only. When you export at the end it will be full quality.

You would think my PC could handle High Quality previews. I've never had a problem. I will give it a try.

Thank you for your time and responses.
