Premiere Pro playing audio clip but not playing video clip?

Over past several months I have been using Camtasia to copy Church broadcast then import the screen capture into Premiere for titling and editing. No problems till this morning. I figured rendering timeline would help, though I usually don't worry about yellow timelines. After 3 hours of rendering (1 hr. broadcast) the render froze too. Audio fine, video froze.

Hi,

See my response to Myer89. I hope that advice helps.

Re: Playback Issues with Adobe Premiere Pro (13.1)

Thanks,

120fps is very heavy for any editing program to process. When you said that adding a second MP3 made everything laggy, this is most likely because MP3 take a lot of processing in the timeline. If I were cutting 120fps footage and had any additional sound media in the timeline, I would try to eliminate the calculations that Premiere has to accomplish by:

• Re-encode your MP3 audio files to WAV or AIF (uncompressed) / I prefer WAV
• Re-encode your 120fps video clips to Quicktime (Prores 422)  or Quicktime (Cineform YUV 10-Bit)

This will speed up working with the media in your timeline because it decompresses your media and gives Premiere less to calculate. Adobe Media / Premiere can easily accomplish this. Happy to help you out. FYI--The spec on your computer look pretty good though I'm curious if your 1TB Hard Drive is a standard HDD at 7200 or 5400rpm or are you using an SSD. If you are not using an SSD--this could be yet another problem as standard drives tend to bottleneck with this type of footage. Unless your system is optimized to edit 120fps or the footage if much lower quality--it's easy to run into massive issues with 120fps footage.

HELP This problem just started for me and will not go away no matter what! I just want to use Pr once without issues....

Specs:

Lenovo Legion y7000 -- Windows 10 -- Intel 8th gen i7 -- Nividia Geforce GTX 1060 --16gb Ram -- Pr 13.1.1 -- Toshiba 1T ex hard drive.

Just updated to 13.1.1 and made sure all drivers were up to date. Just using same 1920 x1080 footage 120 fps. Everything seemed to be working fine until I added a second mp3 file, all of a sudden video got laggy. The screen was either blacking out or took forever to load a frame then gradually froze. However, the whole time audio played just fine. Crashed a moment after and lost a decent amount... sometimes you get lost in the work and forget to spam crtl-s...

I tried loading the same clips in with a new project then did not add the second mp3. But this time everything was still lagging and very slow. So kind of at a loss since its happening on a new project without the possibly corrupted file.

SOMEONE PLS help identify the issue whether its the program or what because I just want to finish this project!

One video may be corrupted. Considering that one is playing fine and the other isn't, I would re-encode the one that doesn't play back well. This can help clean up corruptions depending on the corruptions. 120fps can be tricky and smaller corruptions or issues will be more noticeable than footage at 24fps or 30fps. I would first re-encode the file to another 120fps format out of Premiere or take it out to Media Encoder (same thing really). Unless your file is raw, I would re-encode to an intermediate format like Prores 422.
