Adobe Premiere Help!

Im not sure if this is the right forum to ask for help, but...

I have a problem when previewing my videos on premiere.

It would only play my clips for a split second and stop...

Anyone know how to fix this?

(my sequence matches my clips' codecs, I don't have to render.)

Thanks

how big are the clips file size? and what do you have for a machine?

some clips are small, some are large, from 10MB to 200MB, Im using a macbook pro (2.26 GHz, mid 2009)

Also, there's more than one way to play a clip. Spacebar vs. play buttons, and are you playing via timeline or source window? Have you tried all the options?

I tried using the space bar and it still acts up... It will still only play for a split second if i use the timeline or source window

I wanted it to play in the source window so i can actually edit

that seems a bit odd, your machine is plenty new for what you are trying to do.
and those files are small.

does your machine have any issues with other tasks?

This is the only issue.

when i would constantly and quickly click play and pause before the clip stops in a slip second, that's when i actually get to see the rest of the clip.

It almost looks like i have to render the clips before i can preview it? is that right?

I think it does have to do with previews, but you should clear out (delete) the current ones first, to ensure they are not corrupted.

It should play the timeline rendered or not, and it will be smooth or jerky depending on the effects used and capabilities of your machine.

They're not corrupted, i can play them on quicktime just fine.

And i have no effects on them
