Adobe premiere elements 13 has stopped working message

Every time I open adobe premiere elements 13 and download any form of media, in about every 2-3 minutes when i'm editing my video, A message will come up stating that "Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working." It forces me to close the application. I went to a computer expert and he said that my computer meets all the requirements of the software and even exceeds some of them since it's only 2 years old. Why does this keep on happening to me and how do I fix it?

Premiere Elements 13 on what computer operating system?
Have you updated 13 to 13.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
Now the usual drill questions...
1. Do the problems exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator?
3. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card. According
to the Device Manager/Display Adapters, how many video cards/graphics cards is your computer using? Are you running
a multi- monitor system?
5. Is the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1?
6. What are the properties of your source media including file extension and duration? Knowing brand/model/settings of the camera that
recorded the videos is probably the quickest way to get at that needed information. What project preset are you (manually) or the project
(automatically) setting?
7. What specific edits are you doing in the project when the program crashes/shuts down? Is there any consistency to the "stopped working"?
You talk about every 2 or 3 minutes in the workflow. But what is the size of the project by the time the problems set in....2 or 3 minutes
from the time you started the project or 2 or 3 minutes after you have been working on the project for 10 to 90 minutes?
Please review and consider the above, and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

Adobe Premiere Elements has stopped working

I have had APE 9 for about a year and recently bought a new computer. I re-downloaded it, using the original serial numbers and everything was fine. I loaded up a video successfully and everything seemed fine. I have a Sony HDR CX115 camera and use APE to edit the videos. The new computer runs Windows 7, the older one was XP. During the editing process, which normally takes a couple of hours, the machine crashed about 30 times and the message above was displayed. I resorted to saving everying minute or so, and eventually got the job done. Anyone any ideas? Have I got one of the settings wrong. Assume there's no problem about re-using the original software?
Thank you

Adobe Premiere Elements 13 stops working trying to add media via videos from camera

When I try to add media selecting videos from camera or flip, Adobe Premiere Elements 13 stops working and closes. What might be the problem?

elizabethmeow
On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running? Have you had the opportunity to update 13 to 13.1 using an opened projects Help Menu/Update?
What are the full properties of your source media and how are you importing them that you are trying to import into the project? A quick way to get that information, if you do not know that information, is for you to post the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the video.
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Element 13, and are you running the program as Administrator?
Lots of additional questions, but the answers to the above may give us the answer that you need to resolve you issue.

Keep Getting Adobe RoboHelp 9 has stopped working Message

I am running on Windows 7 Professional, SP1, 4GB RAM, 64-bit OS, with Administrative privileges using Adobe RoboHelp version 9.0.1.232. I am creating projects on my C drive and linking them to Word 2010 docx files that are on the network then generating them as AIR files for testing purposes at this point. Each linked document is a technical manual (with a TOC and index) having anywhere between 100 and 1000 pages. The plan is to create a project for each of the 20 manuals then link them together and generate a Master Project as an AIR file to distribute to our customers. The manuals contain flowcharts, bullets, numbered lists, images, tables, hyperlinks, etc with approximately 100 custom styles defined in one Normal.dotm file. Only defined styles are used in each of the manuals and all manuals use the same Normal.dotm file. Each custom style is linked to a corresponding style in a custom RoboHelp css file used by all RH projects.
I have a default project that is used to create each separate project which includes a linked docx file that contains each of the custom styles so I do not have to link each Word style to the corresponding RH style every time I create a project for a different manual. My process is this: create project, link docx file, change Properties to create new TOC, Index, Glossary, Generate the linked document, Update linked document (when applicable), generate the AIR file, then update the Word document (in Word) as necessary. I then Update the linked document in RH and generate the AIR file again....and keep doing that until it looks good. So far, I have successfully created projects for 11 manuals with projects ranging in size from 20 to 50 MB. So I know the problem is not my styles, etc.
My problem is this....I will sometimes get the message 'Adobe RoboHelp 9 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available'. Sometimes, I will get the message when the manual has been updated in Word and I select Update in RoboHelp while other times it occurs when I am first getting the project set up. Right now, I am getting this message when I select Generate for the linked manual. I checked my application log file and see that I am getting an EventID 1000, Task Category 100 error. The manual is 477 pages/7.6 MB and the RoboHelp project is 42 MB and has only two really small flowcharts. I have successfully created a project for this manual a couple times before after updating the Word document for things I saw in the AIR file, but when I selected Update in RH, I would get the message and the project was then corrupt so I had to start over. I know it is not an installation problem because I can then open another project and it works fine.
Things I have tried without success: copied the linked manual to my C drive to remove the network aspect. Closed all other applications so only the Word document and RoboHelp are open. My experience has been that in most cases, RoboHelp is happier when I have the manual I am working with open in Word but have also tried it without Word running. I have tried creating the project on the root of C instead of in my folder. Tried it when no one else was on the network (5 am). In one case, I pulled out a chapter that was about 50 pages of flowcharts - which fixed that one. All our flowcharts are inserted into borderless tables as metafiles so they are not free-floating.
Any help anyone could give me as to why this is happening or what I can do differently so as to prevent this from happening would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Kathi

My inclination is that it is something in the projects or in the manuals being linked that is the culprit because that is where the consistency lies - projects were created identically and manuals all follow identical formats. The problem typically only occurs after the project has been successfully created and the manual is subsequently updated and I am syncing the manual in RH so I can generate a new AIR file. This is the first time the project has consistently corrupted every time I try to generate the Word document after linking it in RH. This makes little sense to me since it generated fine a couple weeks ago and I did nothing special when I updated it in Word yet when I tried to update it in RH, that is when it originally corrupted. The bottom line is that I cannot 100% trust that any project I run will work the next time. I end up just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best.
My problems seemed to start once I went to RH9 (from RH8) because we had upgraded from MS Office 2003 to the 2010 version and I needed 9 for the docx extension. Like I said, it is not all the time - I can be beating my head against the wall getting one of the projects to work, then create 3 more projects that have no problems and then the next one leaves me wanting to throw my PC through a window....
Deleting the CPD does not corrupt the project, it just removes my default linked document that allows me to circumvent linking the styles individually for that project. Once I have a manual linked and I remove the CPD, it just creates a new one. What I am saying is that if I delete the CPD file, it does not prevent the project from corrupting nor does it make the corrupted project viable again.
thanks!

Adobe Premiere Elements 9 Stopped Working

When I launch Adobe Premiere Elements 9 the only menu options that are available are to create a new Project or open a previous one, all other menu options are greyed out. Creating a new project has no effect. If I attempt to open a previous project I get a message saying a serious error has occurred and Premiere must close. This product had been working fine for the past two years.

Hi There,
I'm having a similar issue, having not used Premiere Elements 9 for a few months, which I'm only discovering now.
My issue seems to be only with the "Instant Movie" option.
When i select "Create/Instant Movie" The PE window opens and loads to a grey screen only.
I installed the 9.01 Update - Same.
I deleted the Prefs file - Same.
I deleted the whole 9.0 folder - Same
So i decided to do a full uninstall/reinstall and the same issue occurred. Again i tried the update, deleting the prefs file and the 9.0 file and I'm still in the same situation.
BTW i have also tried setting compatibility mode to (XP Service pack 2 and 3, Vista SP 1 and 2 and Win7)
Do you have any ideas on what might be causing this?
I'm running Windows 7 and currently running the Premiere Elements 9.01 update.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

PRE 7 Error: Adobe Premiere Elements.exe stopped working

Today I started getting Adobe Premiere Elements.exe has stopped working and than the program closes. Does anyone know how I can fix this? I un-installed and re-installed it and still get the same thing.

Just as a possible additional clue. I have been editing a video of 1:40 hours length for the past 5 hours. PRE7 behaved well. Then, after saving my project, I tried to apply some colour filters (Auto Levels and Colour Balance HLS). PRE7 then crashed and is now unable to open the same project (which is 1.84 mb in size WITHOUT the filters saved in it) but can open an autosave version of 1.5mb in size. As that is 1.5 hours older, it is of little help to me, though.
(Note: this after I gave up and redid this video, after PRE8 totally crashed and PRE7 couldn't reopen this project file either.)
So there seems to be an error regarding the project file size and some weird "setting" that prevents PRE7 from opening that project.
(Note 2: I have now wasted so much time with this, that it is getting beyond just annoying. Adobe should fix this ASAP or provide all users a free copy of Premiere CS4 - if that is any better, that is. As no other video editor can import PREL files, one basically starts from scratch, which is even more annoying.
Note 2b: I have gone through all the suggestions made, am not running an Nvidia graphics card and am now at a loss as to what to do to successfully reopen this project file.)
Helmar
PS: Attached in the case anyone cares, both PREL files. The large one that doesn't open, the old one that does. Happy bug hunting, Adobe! The licensing code for PRE CS4, please send to the email attached to my profile. Thank you!

Adobe Premiere CC"has stopped working error"

Ran an update on Adobe Premiere CC last night. Now this error occurs. I did a system restore to 1 hour before the update. Adobe worked fine this morning. After I closed the program and logged in tonight the "has stopped working error" displays. Also Adobe will not import and .MOV files and the .MOV files that are already on the timeline are no longer there. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I have just had the same thing happen to me too. Everything has been working fine but today, Premiere has crashed/stopped working twice. I have managed to get back into it now, but it won't playback either the Source or Program Monitors, saying there is a 'Low-level exception in Adobe Player (Player)'.

"Adobe elements has stopped working."

I've received the error "Adobe elements has stopped working" and then the program closes. It has happened numerous times and now happens more and more often. Does anyone have any fixes for this?

I've been having the same problem.
Win7 64bit 8GB RAM, 500GB free hard drive space. All Win updates in place on a regular basis (last time was 2 days ago).
I often get the "stopped working" popup message on my desktop right after I close the program (well, yeah, I would hope it would stop working when I close it) and also increasingly get it on the desktop when I open the program (before the PE12 screen opens). This latter popup "stopped working" message will persist until I close the popup window, even though the program is working just fine.
The most occurrences of actual crashes seem to be when doing a lot of titles (new or editing existing), when saving, and when exporting.
For awhile it seemed (very subjectively) that rendering the project before saving or exporting possibly helped reduce the number of occurrences, but just now the "stopped working" message popped up and the program quit while I was rendering (got about 80% through).
This time I checked the "check online for a solution" box, but to no avail--there was a brief period while Windows searched online, and then the program shut down anyway.
I've tried rebooting, making sure other programs were closed, etc. but nothing really seems to have much effect. The same project will save or export just fine on one occasion, then if I so much as change a word in a title it will become unstable. The entire project is 26 minutes long. One video track (2) with titles, one main video track (1), one audio track (mostly empty) of ambient sound with the video, one sound track.
I will try Steve's suggestion of Ctrl-Alt-Shift for awhile on opening. (This helps when PSE tools freeze up.) Thanks for the tip!

Adobe InDesign CS6 Has stopped working error message

Hi,
I have Adobe InDesign CS6 on Windows 7 64 bits Enterprise Edition
When I open a document and try to export the document to pdf my indesign crash whith following message "Adobe inDesign CS6 has stopped working"
It happens on some docuemnts but now all documents.
Please help.

Was that a typo and you meant NOT all documents?
Windows isn't quite as easy to diagnose crashes as Mac becuase it doen't providet he same crash reports, so we pretty much have to play Twenty Questions...
Let's start with some basic troubleshooting. Presuming this is isolated to just some files, start with this: Remove minor corruption by exporting
If that doesn't work, can you export half of the doc at a time?
Create a new user account onthe machine and log in using that. Are you able to export the document to PDF without a crash?

Adobe Bridge won't start. Shows message: Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working

Running Windows 8, with 16GB memory, running 64-bit Bridge. When I try to start Bridge it loads, shows main screen, then immediately shows dialog that says Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working. Only options are to debug or close program. I did Ctrl/Click and cleared the three resets and I also tried running it as admin.
So far, I'm one for three with the Creative Suite. Installed PS on the above box, works fine, But can't install PS on my Mac--more than an hour with TS with no joy. And now can't launch CC on Windows.

This problem has been solved by Microsoft, rebuilt Win7. I would like to delete my question to reduce clutter here but I don't know how to delete it. A moderator may delete this if they wish or someone can add to my reply and instruct me. Thanks!

The first thing that I would do is insure that you have the latest video driver installed (but do keep any older ones, just in case you must roll-back - newest is not always the best).
If that does not help, then open Even Viewer, and check for all warning, or error messages in System and Application tabs, for the time that PS crashed. If you find any with links, follow those links - be patient, as some might take a few moments to send data to MS, and then for MS to process it, to open the proper page for that link plus the data gathered. This ARTICLE goes into a bit more detail, and I do not think that it is too Adobe Premiere-centric.
Good luck,

During app load, Premiere elements 11 stopped working all of a sudden. Why?

Premiere elements 11 stopped working all of a sudden. Says "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly" I re-installed it but still the same.
I haven't installed any other apps except adobe reader and there were a few Windows updates but that was it. Some history - I had defraged my hard drive when this started to happen. Wouldn't the re-install have fixed it if the de-frag caused this problem? What is causing elements to stop loading at the splash screen?

DFMA
Thanks for the follow up with the very helpful information.
If this is one of those Importer QuickTime type issues, the answers are few if any.
If you have not already tried
Have you attempted to delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary,
the whole 11.0 Folder in which it exists.
then, please try the following...
My expectations for the following are not high, but worth the time -
1 uninstall the usual Control Panel way - you might want to uninstall QuickTime at the same time.
2. free ccleaner run through (regular and registry parts)
CCleaner - Download
3. reinstall QuickTime and then Premiere Elements with anti-virus and firewall(s) disabled.
Others on the list...
1. Create a new User Account with Administrative Privileges and install and run Premiere Elements
from there.
2. Use a new set of installation files either from Adobe if you purchased the program from it as an online
download, or get tryout installation files for 11 into which you can insert your purchased serial number.
