Premiere Pro CS6 opening slow when connected to slow network.

I recently setup a user with his computer running behind a VPN router so that he could work from home. The VPN router is used to give him access to local resources.
A strange thing started to happen with Premiere where it would be very slow to open. Either it hangs on the splash screen for a few seconds to a few minutes or the splash screen loads normally but when the program opens, it is just white for a few minutes until it finally opens. If I try to click on the program Windows tells me that the program is not responding. Being that the premiere was working fine before putting the PC behind the VPN router, I feel like it had to be a network thing. I had the user momentarily unplug the Ethernet cable from the router and Premiere loaded up quick like it normally does. So when Premiere opens, it must be trying to access some local resources.
The problem is I cannot figure out what that is. I went through all of the preferences and nothing is set to use a network resource. Media cache is set to us a local SSD. What else could Premeire be trying to access to launch?

Premiere communicates with Adobe as it opens. I'm assuming it is verifying that you have an active account/aren't pirating the software. On my computer the maximum bandwidth usage is 1Mbps (that's bit not byte), so unless your VPN is incredibly slow, this probably isn't the issue. Maybe there's some firewall interaction that is limiting Premiere's ability to talk to Adobe as it launches?

Premiere Pro cs6 keeps crashing when im editing or rendering a video

When I am on Adobe Premiere Pro cs6 every 10-20 mins it crashes when im editing a video, it crashes more often when im rendering it (export media, ctrl+M). I dont mind when it crashes while im editing because i save the file regularly but when im rendering its a problem, it probably because the file is too big as i use dxtory to record skyrim but this is an expensive product so it should be able to render. I encode the file once ive chosen the format and stuff for the video and it says finish rendering in 50 mins or so and when it gets to like 4% rendering it says not responding. It then troubleshoots but then says 'close program'. this is very frustrating, please can someone help me.

Premiere Pro CS6 Quits unexpectedly when loading Images or Video into viewer.

I have been using CS6 since May of 2013. I currently operate on a Mac. I have never had any issues. I used it one day last week, then all of a sudden a few days ago is when the issues started. Premiere Pro will start normally (New or Exsisting Project), I can even import media. But I am not able to load Images or Videos into the viewer, nor am I able to just drag and drop on the timeline. Audio seems to drag onto the timeline just fine.
I have tried many things to trouble shoot the issue such as:
1. Starting a new Project. (Thought maybe something in the existing project was corrupt.)
2. Opening an older project that I knew worked fine in the past. (Thinking new projects were also corrupt.)
3. Transcoding the video Files. (Thinking the media was corrupt.)
4. Restarting the computer.
5. Holding "Shift" while starting Premiere Pro.
I am not getting any error codes, just a Dialog box that says, "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
Thanks for your help.

Hi Luther,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Which version of Mac OS are you using?
Try to repair the preferences by opening the finder window click on go and
choose go to folder and type ~/library and press enter. Then go to Preferences>Adobe
and rename the 6.0 folder to 6.0.old. If you are using Mavericks ( OS 10.9) try to give permissions to the
Adobe folder as well.
Please reply in case the issue persists.
Thanks

What can I do to stop Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 from crashing when exporting?

Regardless of whether I have a new project file or an existing one, edits or no edits, whenever I click export, Premiere Pro simply crashes. Same for Media Encoder - can't even open that one. I have all of the latest CS6 updates installed, the computer is brand new as of two weeks ago - OSX 10.9.1, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. The only way I've been able to export is through a backdoor: I use the dynamic link in After Effects, then render out my sequences there. Help?

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 constantly crashes when importing video files

I have not used Premiere Pro in a while, but recently when I tried to import video files (from .m4v, .mp4 and .mov) the program stops working, the "importing" window doesn't progress and I get the rainbow wheel of "death".
I read some other posts where some are having similar situations and some users suggested moving the file from an external hard-drive to an internal one (I have a 1TB external hard-drive) but that didn't do squat either.
Once the program is frozen I'm forced to "force quit" the program.
Does anyone know what I can do?

I am having the same problems, but my program locks up when trying to playback .MTS files that are shot natively on my GH2. It will not render or export anything & when you try and scrub or playback footage it gets the spinning wheel of death. To finish my last project, I had to transcode all the .MTS files to .MP4 files and it worked fine. Also, anytime I shut down PP, I have to force quit the program for it to shut down. Here are the detailed info you asked for...
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).Premiere Pro CC (trial) 7.1.0 - 141 (because I uninstalled CS5, 5.5, & 6 thinking they may be the problems.
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) YES, up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac”. OSX 10.9
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime”..MTS files from a GH2
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?It tells me that it is an unknown error (I do not have a copy of the original error message)
What were you doing when the problem occurred?Trying to playback (wheel of death), Trying to Render and export (starts rendering, then just sits there and then gives the unknown error)
Has this ever worked before?I have worked on this projects for a few months, then just out of the blue it started with these problems about 1 week ago.
What other software are you running?none
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?some from Video Copilot and Plural eyes 3 (NOT used on this project)
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
iMac 27in Mid 2011 3.4 Intel Core i7 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 AMD Radeon HD6970M 2048 MB OSX 10/9 (13A603)
No external devices, except a external hard drive. I changed from a Thunderbolt Seagate 1TB (single 7200 RPM) to a Drobo Mini 2 TB RAID 5 in the MIDDLE of this problem, thinking the issue was the drive was to slow to keep up - NOT the case… it still happens with the new drive.
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?I am not completely sure to be honest - I believe it is the factory settings.
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?both!

Premiere Pro CS6 opens off screen

I am running Premier Pro CS6 under Windows 7 64bit with two monitors on a single graphics card.
The application had been opening correctly but it now opens off the bottom of the main screen with only the top 1/8 of the screen visible. If I try to click or set focus to the application it just blinks, the window cannot be moved. If the windows is clicked and then I press Enter on the keyboard it closes. There are no messages or dialogs shown on either screen.
Any thoughts on why this might be happening would be greatly appreciated.

I use maya and other stuff too, and have had 2 monitors before but they were the same ( same brand, same max resolution etc ) on an Nvidia graphics card. What I'm seeing with your screenshot might be an effort to " tile " the stuff ( I know it sounds weird but it looks like it to me ). I dont know what graphics card you're using and I am sorry but I dont have cs6, cuda, and 2 monitors now.. so I think someone else here would be better to help you with at least dealing with this aspect.
The way maya dealt with 2 monitors was slightly different than the way PPro did.. I could grab 'windows' off PPro ( timeline, effects etc ) and drag to 2nd monitor and do my workspace that way, then save that workspace etc. Maya was more like putting 'separate' menu items on the 2nd monitor...like " attributes, shading etc " .. know what I mean ??? Is different.
So get stuff working with one monitor is a suggestion I'm making only because it eliminates ONE variable in a problem... kinda like a controlled experiment.. you try to limit variables and come up with the solution that way ?? Sorry, but that's how I see this one of yours.
ps.
your screenshot is different than my 2 monitor screenshots used to be.. .my 2 monitor screenshots used to be a combination of both screens..like way wide ( not 16:9 but wider ).. like a combination of the 2 screens... that's another reason I think something is whacky with the monitor thing. Maybe other people have different views on this ??

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 Crashing

I've seen some discussions on this but not on the exact problem I've been having, which is my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 always crashes when I'm layering either two videos or two audio tracks on top of each other. If I stack two files and then scrub, then it immediately crashes every single time. I've never had a problem with CS5.5 when doing such an operation.

I am having a similar issue that I have nailed down to two specific audio tracks. When I play audio on these particular tracks, which have Compressor and Denoise plugins on the track mixer, I get the crash error. Understand, the Compressor and Denoise effects are not on the audio itself. When I move the audio up to the adjacent tracks above, there is no crash or error, but of course, I don't get the effects that I desire.
I solved the problem by right clicking and "Remove Audio Effects..." of which I had a 6 db boost in "Volume". I made up the gain on the Compressor plugin on the track.
FWIW I also get the "Audio filters missing" pop-up when I open the project. This stems from me creating audio presets, applying them to files, and then the preset effects are unable to be recalled when I re-open the project.
I am in Premiere cs6 on a 2.8 Ghz Intel Core i5 iMac running OSX 10.8.2 w/ 4 GB of RAM.
Hope this helps...

Option for Creating Photshop File in Premiere Pro CS6 is grayed out

Inside of Premiere Pro CS6 (Windows version), when I try to select File > New > Photoshop File... the option is grayed out. I have the Project panel selected and have Photoshop CS6 running when I attempt this. Anyone have any ideas?

Well I appreciate the feedback. I did solve the problem. I was very wary of reinstalling software since I have so many 3rd party plug-ins that I would have to reinstall that would take forever. I notice that in After Effects it has a similar command File > New > Adobe Photoshop file, it was NOT grayed out but errored out when I tried to run it. It turned out that my Photoshop files were not being recoginized properly in Windows. The PS icon would not show up in the name column of Windows Explorer, although the Type woudl be correct. So if you clicked on a PSD file it would not open in PS unless you opened directly from PS. So I associated one PSD file in Windows Explorere with Photoshop CS6, which made the ICONS show up which solved all my problems in AE and Premiere. Easy fix, once you search the entire universe back and forth and think about it for a bit. (:

Premiere pro CS6 and GeForce GTX 560 compatibility

Good morning, I would like to ask a question about the compatibility of my GPU (GeForce GTX560 2GB DDR5 Zotac) with the acceleration engine of Premiere Pro. When I create a project, in the settings project section, at general, at the "Rendering" voice, is indicated "Only Software Mercury Playback Engine" and I cannot choose anything from this menu. So I would like to understand if my GPU is compatible with the Playback Engine or not. Sorry for my basic english, I'm italian and the Adobe site has linked me this forum for the questions about Premiere CS6 software. I would buy a book about Premiere Pro CS6, but it will be useless if my gpu is not compatible with the engine acceleration.
If it's important to know for the reply, I have 16 gb RAM and an intel i7-3820 (sandy bridge) processor. The motherboard is a Sabertooth X79 S2011.
Thank you so much for the reply, bye

Welcome to the forum!
Delete or move the "cuda_supported_cards.txt" file out of the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 folder. When you restart Premiere Pro, your GTX560 will use accelerated GPU playback.

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB) is working with this USB device without any problem

Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!
