Adjustment Layer Crashes Premiere or Damages Project

Nearly every time I have tried to use an adjustment layer in Premiere Pro CS6, the application has hung if I tried to scrub through the video. Yesterday I decided to try placing an adjustmnet layer and only using the play function rather than scrubbing and it seemed to work alright. However, this morning premiere will no longer open the project file. Instead it give me the error message "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." This is an extremely heinous bug! Can anyone help or is this feature really just unusable?!!
Additionally, because I was so fastidious about saving, given the previous crashes, the only functioning autosave is 6 hours out of date!
HELP!

I use ALs a lot, and haven't yet seen this behavior.
Have you added any effects to the AL? Does scrubbing work OK without the AL?

Adjustment layer in Premiere?

Hi all,
I remember seeing a video where a Transparent/ black video/etc..was added to the above layer of all clips.
It would act as an adjustment layer.
I know I could Nest them, but that would mean I would loose the ability to move clips around unless I double click them.
I remember there was a way to add an adjustment layer in premiere.
Anyone know?
Thanks,
lou

> Then how would explain Adjustment Layers in AE and PS? Those are both
transparent layers to which you can apply effects and change the values
of pixels in layers below.
FWIW, the way that an adjustment layer works in After Effects is that it takes the composited/rendered result of the layers beneath it as input and then operates on that single input just as if it were any other layer. A lot of people misunderstand, thinking that the adjustment layer is somehow reaching down into those underlying layers and affecting each of them individually. In fact, the way that most people explain adjustment layers is to say that "applying an effect to an adjustment layer applies the effect to all of the layers beneath the adjustment layer". As you can tell from my explanation of how they actually work, this isn't quite right. Also, you can see how applying an effect to a nested sequence is doing almost exactly the same thing as applying an effect to an adjustment layer.

Adjustment Layer crash with MB Looks applied

I've been trying to add an adjustment layer to a sequence and apply Magic Bullet Looks to the layer to color correct all the footage below in one fell swoop (rather than apply it to all the clips individually). The sequence is about 7 minutes long, and is 1080p24; footage is H.264 files direct from Canon 7D (not transcoded). Every time I paste the Looks effect onto the adjustment layer it crashes the program. If I turn off the preview for the layer it's fine, but the minute I try to preview the effect it crashes the program.
Both PPro and Looks are up-to-date, and a restart did not help. Could this simply be a matter of RAM, horsepower and trying to color correct that much H.264 footage in one go? I have an older Mac Pro (see specs below) so I don't know if it just can't handle the task. I've seen others have problems with adjustment layers -- is this the Looks plugin? Or limitations with memory or graphics card?
MacPro 2.66 Quad Core, 12GB RAM (7GB avail to PPro), OSX 10.6, ATI Radeon 3870
TIA, JVK

I'm having the same problem with Looks and Premiere CC. I have the latest versions and I also recently installed a Geforce 680 Mac Edition into my 8 core 2010 MacPro.
Nowhere do I see an option on the pluging to switch from the GPU to the CPU.
The main reason that I use an adjustment layer with Looks is to control the intensity of the look by varying the opacity of the layer. Is there another way to control the intensity of the look?
Thanks in advance...

Applying Time Code to a Transparent Video Layer Crashes Premiere Pro

Everytime I add timecode to a transparent layer spanning my entire sequence it crashes Premiere Pro. The only work around I've found is to turn that layer into a nested sequence. Not sure why that works and would like to fix the problem.
Thanks

What operating system? What version of Premiere Pro? If Premiere Pro CS5, have you installed the Premiere Pro CS5 (5.0.2) update? That update fixes a lot of problems.

Huge Bugs with Many Legs Still Living in Premiere Pro - (Border from Sharpening & Flickering from Adjustment Layer)

I haven't edited video in awhile. While working on a new project I've run into a bunch of what I suppose are well known issues in Premiere Pro CC 2014. It seems Adobe has know about these issues for some time, but that for some reason, nothing is being done about them. Here is my most recent experience with editing a video using PP:
1. Found that color correction tools in Premiere Pro for setting White Balance Suck for folks who don't edit video 8 hours a day.
Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution: White Balance in Premiere Pro CC on Vimeo
The dude shows you how to use the Cyroce Color Neutralizer plugin from After Effects - but sure enough the current version of the plugin that ships with AE CC 2014 doesn't work with premiere any more so you have to download the old version from dude's website here: http://www.sternfx.com/tutorials/136
Thanks to the DUDE!
2. Found out that adding an Adjustment layer can cause flickering in footage.
Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution: PP CC 2014 - adjustment layers flickering problem : Adobe Premiere Pro AND Re: image flickering from adjustment layer
Added mask to control flickering. More specifically, I turned each effect in the adjustment layer on and off until I found the particular effect that was causing the flickering. Then I created a mask in that effect which covered the entire frame. Mystically the flickering disappeared. Learned that if you make any changes to adjustment layer effects, flickering will return and you have to delete/recreate the mask once again. Ridiculous.
3. Thought all was good and that I could now peacefully continue to finish my project. I was wrong. Found that adding sharpening in adjustment layer causes a small border to form around the entire frame. The pixels seem faded or translucent or something.
Searched on web to find solution find that Adobe has no fix but random humans have found hack solution: Sharpening bug Premiere Pro - - Fourmedia
So now I've learned that the sharpening effect needs to go on it's own adjustment layer. Awesome.
Flickering returns because I made a change to adjustment layer 1. Re-mask. Sweet.
That's it. Pretty sure this post will help folks out, but man I am going to run out and give another NLE a shot. None of these operations should be this difficult. Makes me wonder if Adobe even attempts to use their own programs. I don't see how anyone could possibly let a huge tool like Premiere Pro suffer from these issues -- and for so long a period of time. Absolutely ridiculous. Adobe truly seems to be asleep at the wheel. This is some amateur crap here.

Thanks for this post. It would be cool (since Adobe doesn't seem to use their products) if there were more posts like this that I could read before I upgrade. I'm having the flickering w adjustment layer problem you mentioned in #2 - and this post is over month old! Aghh

Why won't premiere pro cc will not let me add an adjustment layer

why won't premiere pro cc will not let me add an adjustment layer

Glad that you got the adjustment layer issue worked out. Not quite enough info to troubleshoot the other problems. The following page outlines the kind of info that helps zero in on the cause of such problems: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?
As to the cache files and rendered previews, you do not need to keep them. Premiere will regenerate them as needed. Because re-conforming the audio and re-rendering the sequence takes time, you probably want to keep those files around for the current project--unless, of course, you have reason to think that the cache or render files are causing problems.
To keep things clean and get the attention of more people, it would probably be best to start a new thread for the other issues.

Adjustment Layer + Ellipse Mask = Crash

Adobe Premiere Pro CC 8.0
Discovered an interesting easily repeatable bug on my end.
I'm not sure how innovative of an approach this is - but it made perfect sense to me to use an adjustment layer as a power mask - set my mask size and placement up one time via the adjustment layers opacity - and then throw all my effects onto the adjustment layer to "affect" that same single masked area. The alternative to this, in order to affect the same masked area with different effects, is to drag multiple effects onto the sequence or footage itself and then set up each of their masks to cover the same general area. Obviously much easier and I would assume much less intensive (one single mask over your clip instead of multiples directly on it) to do the former.
Anyway this adjustment layer as power mask approach causes Adobe Premiere Pro CC to crash.
Please (please) note that when I abandon this approach and just put "effect(s) with mask" directly on the footage/sequence itself - I'm fine and can continue to work as normal -- and -- I consistently use adjustment layers with effects sans masks throughout without issue, so no worries there.
Much trial and error revealed it is specifically the adjustment layers with ellipse masks enacted on their inherent opacity that cause the issue.

It's crashing? I have 8.1 open and it is not crashing but not behaving correctly. I checked our database and there does appear to be a fix on the horizon for this. I can't say when, of course. Sorry.

Premierre crash on dissolve on adjustment layer

In my project under a title i need some blure and luma curve adjustments. I placed an adjustament layer under the title and i like to fade in the effect. However, as soon as i place the dissolve on the adjustmentlayer premierre does not play anymore and cannot safe, it is stuck after that.
My workarround at this moment is that i have keyframed the induvidual effects on the adjustmentlayer to fade in and this works. I prefer not to work like this. Is it a known error that putting a dissolve an adjustmenlayer causes problems?
Thanks,
Ronald

Having a similar issue all of a sudden. I use adjustment layers all the time. All of a sudden, when I add a dissolve to an adjustment layer, the whole system hangs and crashes. Have tried muiltiple times - all with the same result. I basically have an adjustment layer that is spliced into multiple sections with a color effect on it. I want to dissolve the first one on, and then it basically flashes with the color effect on and off. As soon as I put the dissolve on the first AL clip it crashes. Any ideas?

Why can't Premiere CC Handle 1 adjustment layer on my late 2013 macbook pro?

I have a maxed out 15" late 2013 macbook pro with 16GB ram and the NVIDIA GT 750M graphics card + Intel Iris Pro.
I'm editing DSLR footage. When I make an adjustment layer or add a simple color correction, or a LUT through the lumetri effect, the footage plays back at 2 frames per second unless I go through a very slow render every time I add a clip (regardless of whether I select the mercury playback engine in CUDA or OpenCL when creating the project)
I'm pretty sure my sequence settings are correct, I have 13GB of ram going to Premiere CC.
I know that my computer and the software should be faster than this. What am I doing wrong, and what settings do I have wrong? Very frustrating.
Also, no matter what settings I select for my sequences (even the straight up DSLR 1080p presets), when I add a clip in the timeline I have a yellow render bar on top. Shouldn't there be no colored bar if I'm just simply adding a clip with matching properties and sequence settings?
Tell me what I'm doing wrong, guys. Thanks for any advice you can spare.

Thank Ann,
Set Up: Macbook pro, running footage and all project files off of a USB3 7200rpm drive.
Specs:
Late 2013 Macbook Pro
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 ram
500GB SSD Hard Drive
Adobe Creative Cloud (All progams updated to most recent versions)
Source Footage: 1080p 24p DSLR footage from a 7D.
Sequence settings attached in photo. Is there any other info you need?

Plugin crashes when I select an adjustment layer in a layer parm

If I drop my plugin on any layer and select an adjustment layer that is on top of the plugin's layer from the plugin's layer param, After Effects crashes. What gives? I'd love to paste some code here but it even happens when my plugin is doing nothing at all. I can comment out all of the render code and the plugin works UNTIL I select an adjustment layer as mentioned.
Is this a problem with After Effects or is there a way I can fix this?
Eidt: It seems native After Effects plugins also crash when I select an adjustment layer from a layer param, not just my own plugins.

Exact same thing happening to me. Are you on CS6 as well?
