A serious error has occurred when opening project

This error pops up every time I open a specific project file. I'm working off another editors project file and have created sequences, etc for my own edit. Originally when I moved footage from his sequence to mine it would crash. What I attempted as a work around was to create my own in and outs and drop the footage into my own timeline from the source footage. Unfortunately this lead to the same issue.
Now my latest saved edit which has all my hard work automatically crashes when I open Premiere (It autosaved during the last crash leaving the footage that seems to be causing the crash on the timeline)!
Ive tried changing the video rendering and playback to software only and still no change...
I hope this makes sense!
Help!!!

Hi,
Can you try to import this project into a new project in premiere pro and check if it works or not.
Thank You
Arjun

    Hello jodifromahwatukee,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    From what I understand, it sounds like Safari is not loading a single page or multiple webpages correctly and it is trying to reload the content. In this situation, there are a few different steps that I would recommend. 
    First, I would recommend clearing your history and website data as described in the attached article. 
    Safari web settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Nest, after the data has been cleared, I would recommend closing Safari completely as described in the next attached article.

  • "A serious error has occurred" when I attempt to drag a video clip to my timeline.

    Hello,
    I'm using Premier Pro CC on Yosemite 10.10.1.  For some reason, whenever I attempt to drag a clip into a timeline — any clip in any project, new or old — Premier immediately crashes and I get an error: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred. Adobe Premier must shut down. We will attempt to save your project."
    Here's the last crash report I got: gist:ebb14b58a932ff05a627
    Obviously, I can't get any work done at this point, so I would greatly appreciate any help in trying to resolve this issue.

    I was also experiencing crashes in Illustrator. I found my way to this thread and discovered that my problem is a Chrome extension called Pushbullet. After removing Pushbullet from Chrome and restarting my computer, I was able to drag clips in my timeline again. If you are using Pushbullet or perhaps another poorly executed Chrome extension, chances are, that could very well be the source of your problem!

    I have CS2 and I use it almost every day.. Today when I tried to launch it, a prompt came up saying my Activation was no longer valid and it closed automatically.  Then when I tried to re-open it, a prompt came up saying "A serious error has occured"  Please re-install the software...  I have no idea where my software is... That was many many years ago?  HELP!!

    When you go to the download page, you must do two things:
    Download this file: PhSp_CS2_English.exe on the download page.
    Use the serial number on the download page in order to install your non-activation copy.
    Do not use your old CD or serial number. It no longer works.
    If you have Windows 7, the advice is to turn off UAC and run the installer as Administrator.

  • 'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (Mac)

    There is an error that says when I am open my project: 'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (mac)

    This happens to me all the time too. When I attempt to reopen, it makes a "copy of" my project. This is frustrating and happiness often.

  • Another "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."

    When I try an open the original project or a copy of it I get this message.
    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
    I have tried to create a new project and get the same message.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program a few times.
    The last time I worked on the project I had no issues.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    a. Open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 - Yes, I get the welcome screen (v9.0).  I can choose open project, and choose my project.  The program will open and show that it is loading the project with the scroll line will show all the way to 100% and will stay there.  Sometimes I get the "Sorry" message and sometimes the loading project window just goes away and nothing is loaded and the program stays on the clock until I close it.
    b. You can find the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and deletion of it makes no difference to your issue. - Made no difference
    c. Have you deleted the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists? If not, please do so. - Done, made no difference
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? - Running McAfee Total Access Protection.  Turned off firewall and anti virus. It works.  As a test I left the anti virus off and tried loading project with and with out the firewall turned on.  The project loaded each time.  I then tested the firewall on, with and with out antivirus.  Antivirus off - project loads each time.  Antivirus on - doesn't load and program stays on clock.
    I will continue to experiment with it and see what happens.  The last time I used it I was running a different McAfee product than no.  So it seems to work with the Firewall on and the Antivirus off.

  • PLEASEEE HELP ME! "serious error has occured" and now it wont open

    So I have been working on a video for youtube, and as always Adobe being a peice of crap shuts down every 5 minutes or so when I am doing a lot of effects or text, but pretty much it doesn't bother me anymore. Until last night I had been working on a project (it is saved because I click the save button every minute or so) and it said " a serious error has occured and we shut down immediatly, your project will try to be saved" or something like that. It has done this once or twice before so I was just going to open it back up. But now when I go to open it it does the little "im loading thing" for like 2 seconds then doesn't do anything..I gave it time to see if that would help. no. I also tried opening it up from another spot (not the desktop) but from my documents/adobe/4.0/ then my project, does it work? no. I am sooooo mad at it since I have had so many issues with other movie makers and other computers recently being soo stupid like this.  and I thought this one was actually gonna work. but no. BTW it is Adobe Premiere Elements 4.0, if that helps. If ANYONE can give me a suggestion that DOES NOT involved rebooting and losing my current project which has taken me SEVERAL HOURS of VERYY specific effects almost down to a different one every second please tell me....and I would be DEVISTATED if it was gone! So pleaseeeeeeeeeeee help me if you can. Thanks so much.

    If it's a piece of crap, why are you trying to fix it?
    Otherwise, how about telling us more about your system. Like which operating system you're using, how fast your processor is and how much free, defragmetned space is on your C drive?
    Also, what kind of camcorder did your video come from and how did you get it into your computer? Which project settings did you select when you set up your Premiere Elements project?
    Version 4 was a very stable build. But we can try to figure out what's up with your system if you give us some details.

  • Sorry, a serious error has occured... can't read Premiere 2.0 archived project

    I am in the process of upgrading from Premiere Elements 2.0 to Premiere Elements 7, and also from Windows XP to Windows 7.  I have XP on one hard drive, and Windows 7 on another.  I've installed Premiere Elements 7 on the Windows 7 disk.
    When I create a new project on PE 7, everything works OK.  When I try to read anything that I created in PE 2, I get the following...
         "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adove Premiere Elements to shut down.  We will attempt to save your current project."
    In PE 2, I archived a project onto the hard drive Windows 7 hard drive, in 'my videos' folder, but even that causes me to get the above error.
    Does anyone have any suggestions that I could try?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ron

    You could export to DV-AVI and then read it in to PRE7 (but this will embed any transitions or effects into the import file).

  • Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.

    Every time I place a video into the sequence timeline, this error message pops up, "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." and then Premiere crashes.
    I tried uninstalling all products and then reinstalling them, and the problem is still there.
    What can I do to fix this?

    @RoninEdits, Thanks for the response.
    But yeah, I've tried both the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration AND Software Only and its the same issue with both.

  • Error Message: Sorry, a serious error has occurred that...

    This seems to be a common problem, however, I have not found a fix. I am somewhat technologically savvy, but limited! Listed below are my specs and details to the problem.
    Software- Premiere Pro (Version 5.03) Recently updated
    OS- WIN7 Core 2 Duo CPU E8400 3.00GHz 4.00GB RAM
    Footage used- all types
    Error message text-
    Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires, Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your project.
    The problem-
    When attempting to start PP it allows me to start a new project, select setting, and sequences. However, as the program begins to start up the new project the error pops up. The only option is to click ok, which in turn locks up the program.
    Also any files that I have previous created also will not open properly.
    Also, I have recently lost a drive that contained many of my old PP projects. I've read that some people have this problem when losing a drive that once related to possible PP preferences and scratch disks...once again I am limited on understanding how that all works.
    I have restarted, cold boots, warm boots....clean uninstall, clean reinstall of PP and all components, updated chipset, display adaptor is up-to-date (NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GE) ...also I am an administrator of the workstation
    **Through my many failed attempts from reading forums I have also at sometimes received a RunTime Error R6025 (pure virtual function call)
    I have no 3rd party effects
    not using Mecury to my knowledge.?

    Has it worked OK in the past?  If so, try System Restore.
    While your computer might meet Adobe's minimum requirements, it is way underpowered to run Premiere Pro properly.

  • Error Message:  Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down.

    Hi. I'm having another serious problem with CS4 (the version that comes with CS5 when you don't have 64 bit capability. I just finished a project, had saved it, and then had switched over to Adobe Encoder to create a finished flash video (which worked perfectly). I shut down CS4, went home, tried to restart the main project to create a video from the same project (wanted to make an mpeg version as well) and got the following error message:
    Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project. Then the system shuts down.
    Not only can I not open the project I was working on, I cannot open any of my prior projects without receiving the same error.
    Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this issue and how to resolve it?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
    By the way, is everyone else having the same amount of problems with this software? I've never had any software that has had so many problems from the beginning. My opinion of this software and Adobe in general has gone down substantially.

  • A serious error has occurred or how the 7.1 update ruined my life.

    Ever since the 7.1 update to Premiere, I've had nothing but problems. The desktop app fails to update for every update, and appears to think it's out of date when it's not and then the icon in the menu bar will be grayed out until I reboot 3-4 times. The "workaround for that seems to be to force quit and uninstall the "previous" version and then download the "new" version from the creative cloud web portal. This wouldn't be that large of an issue, but it happens almost every other day.
    Then once I can actually open Premiere, the real fun with errors begins. I have received the "A Serious Error has occurred" screen on 30-40 (not exagerating) delightful occasions in the past couple of weeks, with no real details of what is actually wrong. It usually occurs while trying to fix an issue where my multi-clips aren't showing the audio waveforms in the sequence, but it has happened plenty of other mysterious ways. This is even more complicated, because it's happening on multiple systems and one of them isn't even using the 7.1 update and another is offsite and using different hardware. The same annoying error occurs across them all.
    Another super cool "feature" is that Mercury Playback Engine capabilities come and go as they please. Sometimes they work for Premiere or Media Encoder or After Effects, but sometimes they just pick one for that given day and don't let the other apps playback. All of the systems GPU were working just fine in 7.0.1, but now wtf Adobe?
    My system specs are varied, but the general idea is this:
    Mac Pro systems (4,1-5,1) 2.3GHz - 2.93GHz
    16-24GB RAM
    Nvidia QuadroFX 4800, Nvidia QuadroFX 4000, Nvidia GeForce 9800
    OS X 10.7.4 and 10.7.5
    A few of the systems have AJA Kona 3 and Kona 3G
    Most of the media is being accessed across 10gigE to a ProMax Platform, and the project files are local on SSD's.
    I have the bug report from Apple, so if that helps let me know so I can get that info to someone who cares.

    Hi Kevin,
    I'm still planning on attempting the 10.8.5 install on one of the affected systems. In the process, I have uncovered a new issue related to the CUDA acceleration not being there at all on a system that used to have it. That particular Mac Pro system only has a GeForce GT120, but the point is that in CS6 and CC, the CUDA was working until this latest update. The other systems have QuadroFX 4000 and 4800 cards, so those seem to be getting CUDA playback, however it is intermittent.
    As for the OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to install 7.1... That is correct. The Creative Cloud Desktop app was failing updating itself (as it still does on every "update") quite a bit, I don't remember any specific messages, but I did see somewhere along the process that I wasn't able to install the Premiere 7.1 update with my 10.7.4. One of the systems here is have a ton of issues with AE, but that's a whole new thread I think. I will attach some of those errors for kicks, but all of these problems occured with the introduction of the virus that is Creative Cloud into our working environment.
    I am working with a wide variety of media: R3D, 5D, F55 4K XAVC, Canon C-300, XDCAM EX, FS-100, ProRes. The projects that I've been having the most issues with lately has the Canon C-300 .MXF media mixed with 5D h.264 as a 2 camera multi-cam set up. The other project that was giving me a lot of trouble right when I installed the Premiere 7.1 update was R3D and F55 4K XAVC. Both issues were the "A Serious Error has occurred. Premiere will try and save your project" vague warning. I usually only lost work since the last Autosave 20 minute interval, but sometimes that is a lot of work and when it happens 10 times in one day, that is unacceptable.
    Here are some answers to some more of those questions:
    What other software are you running?
    These are all possible conflicting software (IMO) that are installed:
    Final Cut Studio 3
    Avid Symphony 6.0.3
    Cinema 4D R14
    RED CineX
    Davinci Resolve
    Nuke7
    Adobe CS5.5 and CS6 are still installed
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
    Yes. Trapcode Suite, Primatte, lots of scripts in After Effects. Lots of codecs installed from Sony, Avid, RED, Canon, etc.
    I think I've answered most of the other questions in this thread, but hopefully that helps. I will update when I'm able to get 10.8.5 installed. I suppose a clean install of 10.7.5 perhaps might have the same chances of fixing this as well.
    Here is the Premiere Error:

    Hi guys; I thought I would share my experience and how I managed to fix this problem. It might help someone.
    In my case I kept receiving this message; eventually after re-launching Premiere, I actually paid close attention to the "software loading" information and saw that it got stuck on my installed "Colorista ii" which is a colour grading software.
    Now the red bulb came on my head ping!
    I recently just upgraded my Mac to the OS X Yosemite & that affected pretty much any non-updated application, which in my case was that and many more of the Red Giant Pacakge; so I searched for the upgrade via Red giant Link, and low and behold I found it and did so. Immediately everything loaded up perfectly fine.. and now can't even do the work, cos I'm so exhausted from an 'almost heartattack'; so going to sleep and commence later in the day I guess..
    Now, you might probably want to check if any application on your system needs upgrading to whatever is the operating system on your Mac or PC at this very time. It might help.
    Always back-up.
    I hope I helped someone :-)

  • Another 'Sorry, a serious error has occurred...'

    Hi Folks,
    I searched and tried some of the solutions... deleting style folder, creating a new cache with no joy so far.
    Hoping someone here can help.
    Hardware/OS specs at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9233828/PRE_hardwareinfo.txt (dumped from speccy today)
    Prem Elements version 9.01 (N224.08092010.240488) - I tried an update a couple of days ago, so hopefully that's the current flavour of 9.x
    Issue:
    Elements has been working perfectly on this machine since buying and installing it back in August 2011 (a couple of weeks before 10 came out )
    This week however it has stopped working.
    Starting Elements produces the following behaviours
    The welcome screen loads
    I get the Organize/New Project/Open Project screen
    If I open an existing project:
    Project appears to load (status bar completes)
    Nothing happens
    Menus are accessible but most options are greyed out - I can't even deactivate to try a re-install
    If I start a new project
    I get the New Project Dialog
    Nothing happens as above
    If I then try to either open a project or start a new one from the file menu I get the 'Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe....'
    Clicking OK does not however close elements down - I can repeat the process ad-nauseum until I shut it down
    All other Adobe progs (CS5 Design Premium) are working fine
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions I've tried most of them, but I think I'll cut my losses and get a different NLE.
    I'll sum up the experience here, not so much for the forum regulars but for those who have come here via a web search having also entered the dead-end street of "Sorry, a serious error has occurred...", or, as I'm coming to know it, the Adobe Grey Screen of Death (or GSOD as it's easily as annoying and difficult to do anything about as the dreaded Windows BSOD).
    So, if I understand it correctly, this error is thown up when some unspecified circumstance occurs that Premiere can't cope with.
    No clue is provided to the user of what may have caused it
    No log files are created
    No entry is made to to the Windows application log
    There is no debug mode
    There are at least 20 recorded possible causes for the error
    Adobe takes no resonsibility for the issue - it's a problem on the user's machine
    Diagnosing the problem, working through all of the documented causes may require a massive commitment in terms of time and effort with no guarantee of success and, looking at some of the many posts on the subject, be detrimental to other applications or the system as a whole.
    Premiere is a powerful and relatively easy to use tool, when it was working I thoroughly enjoyed using it. However, when it goes wrong (and reading posts here and elsewhere, it seems to go wrong quite a lot) it crosses the border into crapware - software that is poorly engineered and does not adhere to best practice with regard to error handling. As with any service - the quality of the product is often best measured by what happens when something goes wrong, rather than by how it behaves when everything works.
    A sincere thanks to those in this little community that tried to help, but life is too short and my time is too valuable to spend more than a couple of days on this.
    I'd advise anyone finding this post when researching for a purchase to look at Premiere as a question of risk management - if it works and continues to work then it's brilliant and offers great value for money. If it breaks then there is a very good chance that you're thoroughly stuffed...
    I'm off now to decide between Corel and Sony for my next go at video editing
    Good luck
