Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when importing HDV Video

For some reason I keep getting crashes when importing HDV (720p60) video into the timeline of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. This has happened on two different machines, with similar specs.
Per the suggested guidelines, here are the specifics:
Version of Premiere Pro: CS6, Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC:264587))
All updates have been installed.
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.8.5.
Source footage: HDV 720p60 video in .MOV container.
Full text of error message: "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
Link to full crash report: http://goo.gl/Gn8Bzn
Crash occurs when trying to import HDV .MOV file.
This is a consistent problem when importing .MOV files of this type.
Complete Adobe Creative Suite is installed. Also using Episode Pro encoding software from Telestream to prepare HDV video. No other external video hardware or codecs installed.
Yes, I am using the Mecury Playback Engine GPU acceleration.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me figure this one out.

Thanks Mark. Here is the Media-Info Data of one of the clips:

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when making edits

I everyone. I migrated to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (I need to finish a couple of project before I can update the computer to CC and Mac OS 10.8.) and it's been crashing right from the begining. It's a random crash but my impression that it becomes more probable as the projects grow.
It happens whenever I'm editing and I press the shortcut for "overwrite" or "insert". (It also happens when I press the icon or move the clip to the timeline)
The screen message I get is this one:
The log message that I get afterwards goes as follows:
On previous days, I've been able to keep working just by deleting the Media database preview files from Premiere but it's not working anymore.
I'm working with XMF files shot with a Canon C300 synced using premiere to sound files (.wav). It only happens when I try to edit but it doesn't matter if I try to edit sound, sound and image or just image.
What it doesn't make sense is that it says something about "dynamic lynk" and, as far as I know, I'm not using dynamic link at all.
Thanks in advance for your time and wisdom

Now, a few updates after a very long night (just in case it might help somebody)
Up until last night, I was saving my Premiere Projects in a Dropbox Folder inside my computer. It was a quick safe way of having a backup copy. Well, it seems that the crash is somehow related. Don't ask me why but once I moved the project file to a regular hard drive (actually a RAID0 where I keep my heavier files) the crashes have stopped.
This morning I went back to the dropbox idea with a new project and -Voilá!- after three hours of work, it crashed again. I moved the file to the RAID disk and no more crashes. My guess is that it is somehow related to the auto-save files that premiere keeps saving. Once it reaches a certain amount (around 20 in my experience) dropbox and Premiere start to do something weird and they crash the software... (It might be related to the software dropbox uses to keep your folders updated and keep backup versions of everything)
I'll run a few tests next week trying to keep the Auto-save files out of dropbox and just the regular files there to see what happens.
Best regards

Adobe premiere pro CS6 crashes whenever I move the timeline

Hi there, my Adobe Premiere pro CS6 crashes when moving the timeline or importing new clips. I have tried several things, I opened up a earlier project to try that and it was fine for a while, but after about 5-10mins of use it hit the same problem and would then always crash whenever I openend it and moved the timeline marker or added a new clip.
Another problem that may or may not be related, is that some clips are broken up into about 6 glitchy squares instead of the actual clip.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Does that laptop have dual graphics?
If yes, go into BIOS and completely turn off the Intel chip... see below

Premiere Pro CC crashes when importing media.

Premiere Pro CC crashes when importing media. Every time. Driving me crazy.
It crashes as soon as the Windows dialogue box comes up.
Does it in new projects and in a project I created and imported into just fine 2 days ago.
Have rebooted.
Running Windows 8.1 on Samsung Series 5 ultrabook Intel i5 - not too sure what else to say about other settings:
I did have a problem the other day when Windows was crashing when browing a large folder of largish images and video clips but it went away when I put images and videos in separate folders.

Thanks for reply.
Point taken but I've been using it for over a year for simple edits (5 min films) in PPCC just fine. Can't even do what I could do the other night now.
Simple folder with a few jpegs and movies in it. In fact it just crashes before I even got to another folder.

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.
Help!

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.

Premiere Pro Consistently Crashes when Importing

I'm trying to run Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on my laptop, but whenever I import video it locks up my computer to the point where a restart is necessary. This problem was present when I was running CS5 so I upgraded hoping this would fix the problem but alas, it did not. I then tried running Movie maker and that also failed along with After Effects. I've tried MPEG, MP4 and WMVs, all failed. I'm running a computer inline with the recommended specs for all three of these programs. Thats mean Windows 7, i7 Sandy Bridge. I'm told it is an error in the video codec but idk what that means. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps and of course, points to the best answer.

Anytime you buy a laptop from anywhere that is legit, they are required by law to place the win 7 code on the machine itself. That is microsoft's rule for all OEM's. Since you bought it from best buy I'm assuming they must have followed the rule every PC has to have a certificate of authenticity (It's generally on a sticker on the machine itself for laptops it's usaully on the underside). However when OEM's don't place the sticker on the machine itself they are required to provide you with the windows install disc OR a custom version of the recovery disc that has a OS only option. The sticker should be with this disc. They are literally required by microsoft to provide one of these things. If they didn't they can get in serious trouble.
However if you can't find this stuff you can also use this key finder program to find your key as well.

I have used this program many times before to find windows key's I assure you it works. It will actually search any key on your system and let you know it.
The final option is to uninstall all your adobe related software, and then use the adobe cleaner utility. However I'd recommend doing the above but I realize a lot of people don't like the idea of wiping the system. So technically you can try this and see if it works, but I'm not extremely confident that it will. Although it does have a decent chance too. After you use the adobe cleaner tool you can try to re-install it and try your luck again. If that doesn't work though you might end up having to do the above. Here is a link to the cleaner tool.

Adobe Premiere pro cs6 Crashing on Laucher. No error message

OHHH my head hurts, Adobe Premiere pro cs6 no longer works. I was working on a project and i accidentally shut off my computer, upon rebooting i found myself unable to turn on Adobe Premiere. It brings up the laucher, it does not load any codecs, fonts, etc. you know what i mean the really fast list that goes by. My gpu is supported, i have did the cuda core trick, i have deleted my properites, and reinstalled, nothing. I even cleaned my entire computer of adobe folders and the what not, used the cleaner tool to uninstall everything to do with adobe, and reinstalled it all. Still no luck. I installed the trial of photoshop to see if it worked and it worked perfectly fine. Adobe encore, and encoder also do not work. I have checked my graphics drivers, they are fine and not on a beta driver. I also did not make any changes to my system before trying to open it. I have system restored back before it happened by and day, still no luck. I have opened it about 50 times to make sure that it didnt need to black list or anything. I have even ran the license repair tool, I REALLY need help, i was working on a large project with a deadline. Please for the love of everything holy throw whatever suggestion you got at me besides a system reformat, which is my last option and i want to make sure i have tried everything before i do that

>accidentally shut off my computer
1st, very basic question... Windows or Mac?
-See the Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/message/4200840 for what you need to say when you ask a question
2nd question... HOW did you shut off your computer?
For Windows (I don't do Mac) there is generally a "graceful" shut down when you push the power button, since the power button on modern computers is not DIRECTLY connected to the power supply, it goes through a motherboard control circuit that tells the power supply to shut down only AFTER all open programs are closed
If you hit some kine of external power switch (rocker switch on a surge protector, for instance) so power was ABRUPTLY cut off... you very likely have a corrupted Windows System Registry... and that would require a complete hard drive formatting and reinstall of everything to fix the problem

Adobe premiere pro cc crashes when i export to dvd

hi all
i recently bought mac pro and shifted to adobe premiere cc from fcp 7. i am editing a fairly complicated documentary project where i have to deal various footage like mxf, m2ts, mts, mp4, mov etc. these are the footage my director got from different assigned person. those people used various type of camera like sony fs100 & z7, p1(hdv), panasonic 102aen and 250, canon dslr mark 2, 3 and etc. i know they use various type of compression. i have also some archival footage from vhs which is converted to mpeg.
i have a blackmagic ultra studio 4k card. so i'm dumping all the footage into sequences where setting is 1920*1080p with blackmagic 8 bit yuv compression. i primarily logged all the footage without any problem. but recently while i was exporting all the footage on dvds, my premiere cc repeatedly crashing. i should mention that i don't have adobe media encoder cc.
it is a huge project with almost 4 tb footage. it was running so smoothly so far. but i don't know what's gone wrong 3/4 days back my project also crashed. anyway i recovered that project but can't not export anything from it. note that i exported lots of footage as dvd before.
can any one give suggestion what should be my best sequence setting and why it's crashing? my final target of output is 1920*1080p. thanks in advance.

Premiere Pro CS6 Crashes When Dragging

Trying to edit in PP CS6 and keep getting this error every time I drag files.
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
This happens every time I try to drag any footage. Regardless of files or locations.
I'm working (at least trying to) on a Mac Pro (Mid 2012) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
Processor- 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory- 16GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics- ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB
The Adobe applications manager says everything is up-to-date and I've tried everything I can think of.
Restarting computer.
Testing different video files in the project (happens with all)
Moving files to a different drive
Creating a new project on a different drive
Opening old project with footage that worked before.
No luck with anything. Any help is greatly appreciated! I've got deadlines to meet and no backup computer!

Hi, did you get anywhere with this? I am having a similar issue in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
The issue is as follows:
If I try to drag a clip, sequence, effect or transition ANYWHERE within the program, it will crash - with the serious error message. In order to 'reset' this, I HAVE to restart my machine. Once I have done so, I can continue editing as normal for a while (up to an hour, or so) but eventually, it WILL crash again.
The crash ONLY happens when drag something... This can include moving a clip on the timeline, dragging a clip form the source viewer or project window, dragging an effect or transition.
The crash happens after I have clicked, as soon as I start to move my mouse.
I CAN click and drag to extend in and out points on the timeline, and I can do 'insert' edit using the button on the source monitor. The footage plays fine.
I am trying this on a CLEAN OS X install, with only Adobe packages installed, to eliminate any potential of interference from other programs. There are no third party plugins or drivers installed.
My system is: Macbook Pro 2011, 16GB Ram, 1tb SSD, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Intel Graphics card, so no option to turn on or off hardware acceleration. It is set to software only.
I have tested this with projects and footage on an external drive, same issue.
I have been using the system on Mavericks and had no problems. I'm guessing it was either the update to Yosemite (I have reinstalled from scratch numerous times to rule out any errors during installation), OR a recent change to Premiere.
Interestingly, I have noticed that once this crash has occurred in Premiere, a similar problem will occur in After Effects. Again, until the machine is restarted.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Premiere Pro CS6 Hangs When Importing .mov

Hi,
For a few days now I have been trying to import an hour long clip into Premiere Pro CS6. Usually this takes only a few seconds, but lately it has been hanging. It is stuck on a little window saying "Import Files" and the yellow progress bar doesn't appear. I don't know if this has anything to do with the recent update I installed to my Production Premium applications or if it may be my new Blackmagic drivers that messed it up. I have tried waiting out the long import by leaving it on overnight and it has still not fixed it. I even uninstalled Premiere and reinstalled it. Any help would be appreciated.
The codecs of the video are H.264, AAC
I am also running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on a mid-2011 iMac

My machine is also hanging in the same fashion. Very, very frustrating when you have editing work to do. If I reboot, I seem to be able to import a few files but then the next one hangs.
I'm trying to import mov files from my Canon 5d Mark III.
I updated my video driver (that needed to be done anyway) but that didn't make any difference.

Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when trying to export

I'm working on a new MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.5
Processor- 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory- 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I've tried everything you normally do like: restart - reinstall software - creating new project - trying different material - ....
AND: I also checked Video Rendering and Playback (Mercury Playback Engine) : It's set to "Software Only" and greyed out.
Any help is greatly appreciated! I have to finish that #### movie until tomorrow :-(
THANK YOU!

Sorry - forgot some details:
Premiere Pro Version: 6.0.5
Software is installed on a brand new computer. On the old one it ran without problems, on the new one I can work with Premiere without problems but I cannot export anything.

Premiere Pro CS4 Crashes When Importing HD Clips

I've used Camtasia forever but recently decided to "upgrade" to Premiere Pro when I got my new Macbook. Not being familiar with Premiere at all, I thought I would play with it with a few short clips. I have HD footage of my martial arts class which I shot with my Canon Vixia HG20 and copied it to my Macbook. However, when I imported a few clips into Premiere Pro and try to play it, it hangs. It will play one or two clips and then it stops responding after that.
All in all, it's only about 2 minutes of footage that I've put into Premiere Pro. I have no problems putting the clips into the Timeline but when I try to preview the clips (either in the source monitor or the program monitor windows), Premiere Pro gives me the little rainbow pinwheel and 20 minutes later, it's still spinning around. I bought a 500Gb external hard drive to use as the scratch disk because I thought maybe it was a space issue having everything on my Macbook but I still get the pinwheel. My only solution is to force quit the program.
I have a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro on OS X (10.5.6) with 4GB of memory, GeForce 8600M graphics card, and 200GB hard drive. I've read about a of of the crashes on here but didn't really see anything similar to my situation. Any ideas? I spent a lot on Premiere Pro and am not willing to give up on it quite yet.
Please and thank you!

17 Mbps is still at the high end, but IMHO they should ultimately work.
Very often with AVCHD, you have to play a clip until it freezes, then wait. If you monitor CPU usage during the waiting time, you'll see that it is quite active. The process using the CPU is the ImporterProcessServer, which has to do some kind of magical stuff to the AVCHD clips in order for them to play and scrub in Pr. Once the IPS is done, you should be able to scrub and play the clip just fine.
Usually you only have to do this once per clip, but sometimes more. Sometimes the work that the IPS does carries over between Pr sessions, and sometimes it doesn't.
Smaller frame sizes and lower bit rates in AVCHD video helps make the editing experience in Pr much better.
My hope is that the upcoming 4.1 update will address some of these AVCHD issues.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, how to import .FLV ?

Hello,
trying out Premiere as a software to edit gaming-videos that I download from www.twitch.tv. The files are .flv (Flash video) and at the basic Premiere Pro doesn't seem to support them, does Adobe have any official recommendation for a plug-in for FLVs / could you recommend a reliable one?
Thanks in advance,
Gouca

I can't believe I actually managed to "fool" Premiere CS6.
First, I tried to import a full HD flv which is about 1.6 GB. Then I read this thread, installed the On2 VP6, opened again Premiere, tried to import again the flv video, but still "Unsupported or damaged file" message.
Then I had this brilliant idea that had also helped me in a similar situation:
So here are the steps explained in a very easy and detailed description:
1. Go to any folder, or "My computer"...
2. If you are on Win 7 /Vista hit "ALT" on the keyboard and the "File, Edit, Tools.." toolbar will appear in the upper side of the window
3. Click on "Tools" > "Folder Options" > "View"
4. Under the "Advanced settings", there is a long list of options. Look for "Hide extention for known file types" and deselect it.
5. Hit Apply and OK.
Your video file should be now like: "videoname.flv"
6. Right click on the file, select "Rename" and simply change the extension from ".flv" to ".avi", let's say.
That's what I did and I tried importing again the video with the new extention to Premiere CS6.
Oh, and afer that you might go back to the folder options and select again "Hide extention for known file types" if yout dont want to see the extentions for all your files.
