How to Trouleshoot a Stuck or Paused Video Preview in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 'CS4/CC' After Exporting as MP4

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, formerly known as Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.7 Extended and before that just called Sony Vegas 16 video preview stopped working after exporting the edited project as an MP4 file? This is a frustrating issue many users face when trying to play back their finished videos on YouTube or other platforms.

Before diving into advanced troubleshooting techniques, let's rule out some simple yet effective solutions:

1. Ensure your Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (or earlier versions like CS4/CC) application and all its plugins are up-to-date.

2. Try closing and reopening the project to see if it resolves the issue.

3. If you're using a Macintosh computer, try booting in Safe Mode or with extensions disabled.

4. Check your hard drive for sufficient free space since low disk space can cause unexpected behavior.

If none of these basic troubleshooting steps resolve the problem, let's move on to more advanced techniques:

1. Re-export the project as an MP4 file using a different export preset and settings combination:

* Go to File > Export > Export As...

* Choose 'MPEG-4 (MP4)' from the Format drop-down menu.

* Under Additional Settings, try changing the following options one at a time:

+ Profile: Main Profle

- Frame Size/Aspect Ratio: 1280x720 HDV 25.00p PAL or NTSC depending on your footage

- Go to File > Export > Export As... again and select 'MP4' from the container format dropdown list.

2. In Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (or earlier versions), go to Edit>Prefernces>Cinema DNG Raw Data Pipelines, then click on the little minus (-) button next to 'Raw Data I/O Plug-in'. Now close this dialog box and try re-exporting your project as an MP4 file again.

3. If none of these solutions work for you still after trying all above mentioned troubleshooting steps without any luck yet - It might be worth considering reinstalling Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 completely from scratch instead.

Remember that sometimes corrupted preferences or cache files can cause strange behavior in video editing software like this too! To reset everything back to its default state, simply hold down Option (Mac) + Shift while launching the application until you see 'Reset All' appear at bottom left corner window. Clicking yes will remove all custom settings so make sure you backed up any preferences before doing so first though!

If none of these advanced troubleshooting techniques resolve the issue and your video preview remains stuck or paused after exporting as MP4, it may be worth considering seeking further assistance from Adobe's official support resources or forums for more specific guidance tailored to your particular situation.
