I'm having a strange playback issue. When select my second monitor to show the video preview and them play the video both screens start to flash and they stay like this until i stop it. It happens when i move the timeline marker throughout out the timeline too.

My pc:

Intel core i3

8gb ram

Radeon HD 6670

Any ideas to solve that?

Might be your underpowered hardware.

I'm using adobe CS6, windows 7 64bits. This problem was not happening before. I belive that its not a hardware power problem because i was running cs6 perfectly before a format my pc.

Well, what have you done differently when you reinstalled Windows and all of your software?

If everything worked until you wiped and reinstalled, it is not Premiere's problem... it is something you did that is not the same as before

yep, i will take a time to search for a solution. But thanks. It should be something related to driver. If o do not find a solution i will stay edditing with only one monitor, there is no problem.
Thanks every one. If someone find a solution just tell me.

PedroHCR,

You said you're on Windows 7. Have you turned Aero desktop off? With dual monitor setup it can often cause problems with video playback. I recently had serious stuttering that went away right after Aero was disabled.

So check the Aero setting. That is something that can be easily forgotten after a clean install of everything

That is extremely unlikely, due to lack of information from your side.

Lack o information? Ok.
I've already described my pc configuration, just forgot to mention the HD: 7200RPM.
My processor is an i3 3.33 Ghz.
The flickering problem happens with any video source that i try to edit.
The flickering problem starts when i play the timeline. If necessary i can make a shot of the problem and place here.
I've already reinstaled the premiere software and the issue gos on.
What else it's nescessary to say?

OK, some hardware is mentioned, such as an underpowered CPU, lacking memory, non-MPE capable video card, and now a single disk.

You still haven't told which video driver version, what other hard disks you have, their fill rate and connection, the source material, your display setup, what processes are running, what tuning you have performed, etc.

If you have only one disk, your setup does not meet minimum requirements.

i have two hard disks (sata) I have one fullhd monitor connected by hdmi and the second one os connected by Dvi. The thing is when i was running a Windows 8 beta version the premiers worked perfectly, now, when i returned to windows 7 this problem starter to happen. About the source material it happens with any kind of vídeo source.

Did you do a complete format and fresh install of Win7 and programs after trying Win8? Did you try using DVI only for both monitors? Have you tuned Win7? How many processes are running?

Pedro,

Did you try to disable Aero desktop? Don't mind about minimum requirements, "underpowered" CPU and so on, they are not causing your problem as it started only after reinstalling OS.

Yeah, like an untrained COPD patient trying to run the New York marathon without shoes but with a 40 lbs backpack.

Harm,

Believe it or not, underpowered hardware or running processes in Windows are NOT always the correct reasons for problems, although they are your default answers for everything. You are a 4+ MVP, try a bit harder

Hey thanks for the help Arokki_ I also ran into this probelm on my Windows 7 64bit system and disabling Aero fixed the problem. It could be a AMD driver issue because Im using (2) HD6950's and everywhere I searched with this problem were people also using AMD video cards.

Hey andrrbnsn! Glad I could help you out! There are tweaks online for getting Aero to function with dual monitor setup but I seem to have lost the link..
