Previewing Video Problems

Specific to Premiere Elements version 15

Previewing Video Problems

Postby Smadams » Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:51 pm

I am new to this; however, have learned quite a bit in the process. I'm using Premiere Elements 15. After I've rendered my video and want to preview it from the beginning to the end, it will not playback smoothly. It's jerky at times, freezes at times and will sometimes stop. I've tried everything to fix the problem, but it still exists. I have not output it to any device at this time and want to know if that makes a difference when it is output. I don't know what to do at this point, and hope that someone can give me some assistance to resolve this problem.

There are actually several possible reasons for this, so we'll have to troubleshoot your issues.

Starting, as Peru says, with your processor, RAM load, hard drive free space and operating system.

After you have identified your computer specs its time to look at the media you are using. What is the type of clips size and frame rate. Is it all from the same camera? Or a variety of different camera. How long is the timeline? And are you using lots of transitions?

There are a lot of variables to eliminate so as to determine root cause.

Your computer is definitely fast enough and you have enough ram.

Time to look at the files and see what you have.... :)

Would also be nice to know what kind of graphics your laptop has and the video memory.

Which processor are you running and with what operating system?

On Windows 10 you can find out the name of your processor by clicking on the Start button and typing in System Information.

Got it. Sorry. And it's clearly not a hardware issue. There's plenty of power there.

Meantime, what media are you editing and how long is your project? Where did the video come from?

Do you have the playback issues if you add, say, 10 photos to the timeline of a new project?

I'm editing video from our vacation from a Sony Handycam HD 64GB 1080. The video is 47 minutes. I do have about 21 photos added and quite a number of transitions, which I was questioning if the transitions could also be causing some of the problem. The video was uploaded to the computer and then edited in Premiere Elements 15. I have another video that I did first that's a little shorter from another vacation that also has the same problems. There's probably a lot of things that I don't clearly understand, because I had to teach myself everything, using The Muvipix Guide, which I found very help; however, I'm sure there are some things that I possibly should have known more while in the process of editing my videos.

I do appreciate all the help you're providing to me and thank you for that.

Which model of Sony do you have?

When you first add a clip from that camcorder to your timeline, does it have a yellow orange 'render' line above it?

The model of the video camera is HDR CX550V. However, the clips aren't taken directly from the video camera. They were already transferred to my computer. So I'm loading the clips directly from my computer.
