Constant crashing Premiere Pro 5.5.2 on PC

Can anybody help me with constant crashes of Premiere Pro?
I'm on an HP Pavillion Elite (e9250t) running an Intel Core i5 CPU, 2.67GHz with 8 GB of Ram. It's a 64 bit OS (Win 7). Graphics card is ATI RAdeon HD 4650.
Just installed the software (v5.5) via download yesterday. Has crashed 8-10 times, even after I updated to 5.5.2.
Seems to happen when I preview in Source monitor (I'm reading the board that this is common???)
Premiere's crash report says:
Problem Event Name:
APPCRASH
Application Name:
Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
Application Version:
5.5.2.0
Application Timestamp:
4e960e56
Fault Module Name:
ImageRenderer.dll
Fault Module Version:
5.5.2.0
When it crashes I must reboot my entire system.
Ideas?

Terrific, thank you. I'll go do that.
Source footage is a variety of .mpg comp footage from a stock house (at 400 X 226) and an mpeg4 at 1280 X 720.
Sequence preset is DV NTSC 720 X 480.
This am, prior to seeing your comments, I was working and did two things..one, I did not turn on Bridge. I really like Bridge, but remembered that it seemed to be involved when the lock ups happened. Second, I was cautious with Source panel. I had not realized that footage sampled there stayed open; every 4 clips or so I clear all.
No freezes thus far today.
I will go download the drivers, sounds like a good suggestion. Meanwhile, do you know if Bridge has any maintenance needs? I saw on one board to "clear my caches" but I'm not sure how to do that.
THANK YOU.

Audio Gain Crash - Premiere Pro CC 2014

Working in Premiere Pro CC 2014 I'm experiencing an instant crash when using the Audio Gain function on a clip or any selection of multiple clips in a sequence. The clip(s) in question come from a TASCAM DR-100 audio recorder I've used dozens of times without issue.
ASUS G75
Windows 7, 64-bit
Intel i7-3630qm
16GB RAM
NVIDIA GTX-670MX

I found it strange that this was happening only on two of my sequences (timelines) in the project, while other sequences have no issue with Audio Gain. It's either the sequence, or one-or-more clips—not Premiere, right? First, I ran CCleaner and re-launched Premiere. Clearing system crud with CCleaner seems to have aleviated the problem for *some* of the clips. I could now perform Audio Gain functions on some of the clips.
So my next thought: Clean the Media Cache in Premiere. I tried that next. When I re-launched Premiere and the conform process begain to do it's thing, building new files. When it was done, ALL of my clips could be selected and Audio Gain performed. SUCCESS! The answer to Audio Gain crashing Premiere Pro, in my case, was to clean the media cache.
Interestingly, that's not the end of the story; there's still some funky issue with one single audio clip in this sequence. But since the Audio Gain crash isn't happening anymore, I'll present the new issue in a new thread.

Canon 300 footage crashing Premiere PRO 6 on Mac PRO

As stated above... C300 footage crashes Premiere Pro when using on my Mac Pro. It happens when you scrub through the footage. I have done plenty of searches and everyone with a Mac Pro seems to be having the same problem. The footage also has glitches in the frames when it plays and renders. The only solution I have found is to transcode the footage to something else, which kind of defeats the purpose of using Premiere Pro 6 in the first place. I know this is a problem specific to the Mac Pro because my Macbook Pro does not have this issue when dealing with C300 footage. Does anyone know of any actual solution to this other than transcoding all the footage?

Hello,
Because you've said you already "re-downloading":
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2, Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Did you already try "uninstalling and re-installing"?
Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.
Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.

Imported avi crashes premiere pro cs4...sound only on windows movie maker

Hello all,
So when I go to import an avi it just crashes premiere pro...but first it turns into a sound only file, then crashes. With windows movie maker it only plays the sound?
Anyone else have these problems? I don't really want to use other video editors...
Oh and I'm running Vista.
Suggestions please.

I'm sorry I don't have a quick answer.
From what I can tell
- Vista X64 uses MovieMaker 64bit
- MovieMaker 64bit requires 64bit codecs (I think there is an experimental 64 bit ffdshow on sourceforge that might work)
- However installing 64bit codecs may stop your 32bit video apps from rendering properly.
I didn't provide links to the experimental ffdshow build cause I didn't try it myself.
If I were you, I'd give up on getting Movie Maker working for now, and just focus on Premiere pro. ? Since it is a paid application they should provide good support. You can't be alone with this issue. If they require codec information just tell them it's a H.264 video with PCM Audio in a AVI wrapper. Guess a quick snapshot video could be provided if they needed one.
ps.

(pss... I use Vista x64 as well, and do not get video in moviemaker either)

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.

'create multi-camera source sequence' crashes premiere pro

Hi,
I use 'create multi-camera source sequence' to sync up 2nd system audio with DSLR footage.
If i select more than say 10 clips to sync with an audio file it will crash premiere pro CC 2014 50% of the time.
Does anyone else find this? is it naturally unstable?
syncing by 'audio mixdown'
I'm on a new Mac Pro 6 core, 16gb RAM, Pegasus 2 RAID.
Cheers

You can see a good tutorial on the entire process here - http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-premiere-pro-cc/multicamera-workflows-with-premiere-pro/

Exporting to Media Encoder crashes Premiere Pro CC 2014

Greetings,
I am experiencing a problem with premiere off and on. Right now it is an on problem. When I am exporting from Premiere Pro CC (and CC 2014) it will intermittently crash Premiere. I have tried this with several different audio and video formats (AVI [Lagarith and uncompressed], WAV, H.264, MPG2, AAC, etc). At the moment, every time I go to export to queue it locks up and hangs on the "Preparing data for export..." Media Encoder Launches and then it just freezes. I get "Problem Even Name: AppHangB1" over and over. Sometimes a full restart will fix this temporarily and sometimes it goes away for a long while. I managed to get a few sequences exported and then it just kept freezing on every PP CC restart.
Here are my system specs:
Premiere Pro CC (up to date)
Win 7 64bit (up to date)
i7 970
24GB Ram
NVIDIA 470GTX (driver up to date)
3 x 1.5TB internal
4TB internal
3TB internal
12TB RAID 5 via USB 3.0
USB 2.0 and 3.0 drives
FireWire audio device (M-AUDIO FireWire1814)... although, I am not using it for playback. It is connected.
Footage is from C100 H.264 .MTS, H.264.mov from 7D, and H.264 .MOV from iPhone.
All stock video plugins with a few third party audio plugs.
This problem happens with and without third party plugs, but it happens that this project uses them.
I have chatted with Adobe help twice about the matter and nothing has come of it. Log out, log in = same. Restart = same (sometimes), create new user account = same, and so on. The only thing I haven't done is completely re-install premiere, which seems a bit overkill. One of the reps said he would get back to me in a few days after he watched the issue via screen share. Never heard back.
I get the sense that this has something to do with PProHeadless.exe not launching or not running properly. When the crash happens on a fresh restart of PP CC 2014 PProHeadless is not running. I can start PProHeadless and it will send sequence to media encoder. When I try to export another sequence from the same project it crashes and I see another instance of PProHeadless launched.
Also, once the projects are exported to Media Encoder, I can encode them to any format with no problem. The problem is getting the sequences there!
Is there anything that I am overlooking here?
Thanks for the help!

Hi
Premiere pro cc 2014 8.0.1 (21) build
Encoder CC 2014 8.0.1.48
I use CC for Teams so it updates all the time.
Again when I tried to use it today by letting premiere open it by sending an output into Queue it crashed both Encoder and Premiere.
In order to shut down Encoder and Premiere I had to go into Task Manager and "End Process Tree" on everything adobe I could find because just ending Encoder did not work it would not close. I remembered that years ago when Premiere would crash we had to end a photoshop process. I found photoshop open even though it was not "alive" on my task bar. I had used it yesterday but had closed it. I also had to close dynamiclinkmanager.exe *32 as well as one of the three Adobe CDF Helper.exe*32. They popped back on but Encode closed and then I got a message that Premiere needed to close and did when I clicked the button to let it close.
After all this I re-opened Encoder by itself and checked the Preferences finding that Import Sequences Natively option was again checked.
By the way for me, "Launch AME manually, then drag the sequence from PPro's Project panel to AME's Queue (or to a preset in the Preset Browser). That uses a different code path than the File>Export>Media workflow." won't work most of the time because I do live events of panel interviews that may run 2 or more hours. I need to break them down to chapters for the web
Also I know this isn't part of this problem but I and many others would still love dynamiclink to work to Encore because the DVD is not dead yet. The current work path is a drag.
Looks like some programers and engineers have some work to do.
Thanks

MP4 Import Crashing Premiere Pro CS4

I am trying to make a short promo video for my university snowsports club. Just started using Premiere Pro so not sure if this is an obvious mistake im making. I've started a project and had imported 2 avi files that are from after effects, an mp3 and some sound effects. the first MP4 i imported was fine, its approx 400mb and was filmed on a Gopro headcam. i then tried to import a smaller MP4 into the same project. This crashed Premiere and has each time ive tried. i have tried importing other MP4's most are fine apart from a few much larger files. I have also split the origanal file down into 50mb chucks but this crashes to. i have also tried importing them into a new blank project with no sucsess. I thought the file might be corrupt but they play fine and After Effects will load and play them. I have a AMD X2 Dual 4200, with 2Gb of ram running Windows xp. i have also tried moving the file to different locations and renaming it.
Thanks

Replace footage will crash Premiere Pro CS6

Hi,
I have a serious problem with Premiere Pro CS6 when I want to replace footage in the project. I need to replace .R3D files to ProRes files that I encoded via MediaEncoder.
When I replace the clip (.R3D to ProRes) in project browser, Premiere crashes every time announcing:
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down..."
When reopening the project (the recovery project Premiere Pro tried to save while crashing), the name of the file is still the same, but the content of the file has changed to the ProRes clip (they are different in resolution). When I replace the clip again, the name of the clip also changes and does not crash - however the clip was already changed even the name wasn't.
If I then replace another clip (.R3D to ProRes), Premiere will crash again. This happens every time I try to replace a new clip (.R3D to ProRes).
If I replace the other way around (ProRes to .R3D), Premiere will not crash.
Please help. This is very annoying problem, and I need this resolved as soon as possible!
Thanks!
(MacPro, OSX 10.7.5, PremierePro CS6)

Hi again,
nobody has an idea why this happens?
Well, I made further experiments, sent crash reports to Adobe, no reply.
The problem is still: when trying to replace footage (.R3D => AppleProRes), PremierePro crashes every time.
The following announcement pops out (to click OK):
Adobe Premiere Pro
Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
Earlier PremierePro crashed and had to force-quit. Now I just have to quit it - it stays on but does not work and makes a pop-up (to click Continue):
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/slightlybuilt/PremierePro/UIFramework/Make/Mac/../../Src/Worksp ace.cpp-209]
Again, if trying to replace footage the other way around (AppleProRes => .R3D), PremierePro does not crash.
Please, help soon! Thanks.

Warp Stabilizer Constantly Crashing Premiere Pro CC 2014

I have never had an issue applying warp stabilizer to clips, now it constantly crashes my system during the analyze phase. Does not seem to be an issue with any other effects. Have the most current version of premiere CC 2014. Running Windows 8.1 Plenty of memory, etc. Has never been an issue, now it happens every time! Help!!

I am having similar issue - without the crashing. Any clips I use warp stabilizer on do not retain their render after I close the project.
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update). v8.0.1 (21) build 2014.0.1 release
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) Cloud says i'm up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac". Windows 8.1
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". mp4 from a gopro
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? no error
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
Has this ever worked before? no
What other software are you running? Chrome
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? No
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU). Dell latitude e7440 8gb ram, ssd
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration? i dont think so
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both? clips do not stay rendered in timeline after saving/close a project and reopen

Some SFX crashing Premiere Pro 5.5

I have some SFX libraries, which are .aif files, and for some reason importing them causes Premiere to lock up and I have to force quit it. Any idea why that might be happening? These are SFX I regularly used in FCP projects.
Thanks!

Thanks man. I have a Mac Pro tower, dual 2 gHz dual-core processors (quad) with 10 gigs of RAM. It's a bit old, but it handles most of this stuff perfectly.
I don't see how I can attach a file to this message board, but the file (files) in question were .aif files, the finder calls them "AIFF-C audio." They play fine in quick look, quicktime, and FCP. On import, they either crash Premiere or lock it up so that I have to force it to quit anyway.
If there's a way to attach one I will, but hopefully that gives you enough info. Thanks for your help. I'm still getting over the transition from FCP, and loving CS5.5, so figuring out how to make little things like this go smoother is very helpful.

MTS Playback Crashes Premiere Pro CC

Hi Users,
I'm upgraded to the latest version of Premiere Pro CC. Recently, I noticed playback of MTS files crashes my Premiere session. A pop-up appears informing me that the application has experienced an error and must shut down.
Importing MTS files brings no issue. Premiere only acts up when I try to play them.
MTS files have worked in past iterations of Premiere (5.5, 6) so I wonder when this issue appeared.
Thanks!

GTX 660Ti crashes premiere pro at random times.

We got this macpro for our company and it came with 2 x 2.8ghz quad core, 16gb Ram DDR2 FB-DIMM and an Nvidia GTX 660 Ti.
At first it ran fine but i coudn't activate the gpu rendering in PPRO and AE (both CS6 and CC now).
So i looked online and added the card to my terminal list as everyone must have done with their own cards so that Adobe can recognize it.
It started fine and GPU rendering worked but after a while both my monitors would crash and show purple rectangles all acrross the screens, as if the graphic failed (see picture attached) and I could not do anything but restart the machine and sometimes loose work I'd be doing. It never happens if PPRO and AE are closed but once I work on adobe softwares, there is no guessing when the crash will take place, it happens when you least expect it, especially before I saved anyhting. GRRRR
So for a while I took out the card from my terminal list (both from AE and PPRO) and it worked just fine even though I could not use the GPU rendering which tends to be annoying, especially with the amount of work we deal with.
I saw in a few forums that some people managed to get their GTX660Ti to perfectly without flaws.
Therefore I am writing this dicussion to ask if annoying had this issue?
Is it because i'm stuck on DDR2 ram cards? and i cannot update this card to work in AE AND PPRO
I have the latest cuda driver 5.5.47; im on OSX 10.8.1 and I will upgrade to Mavericks very soon but I need to know if there is way to fix this issue....
Any help or guideline will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Please try installing CUDA package from the below link and then try to change the Renderer in Project settings>General to Mercry Playback Engine GPU acceleration CUDA. This card is not in the supported list of card for Premiere Pro and After Effects CS6 so this suggestion will work only for CC. If you have any further issue try downgrading the CUDA drivers to 5.5.28 and check if it works for you or not. Please restart the machine once you have downloaded and installed CUDA package.

Cannot open project - instant crash Premiere Pro CC 2014.2

Hello all - I am having a really frustrating problem. It seems that at random somehow I have corrupt project files. I spent hours working on a project yesterday and saved at the end of the day. However when I come back to it I get the "project is damaged cannot be opened" message. I haven't done anything other than shut my computer down and back up again today. This message sometimes comes up, other times it's a straight crash when it tries to load my project, to the "windows is searching for solutions" message and grayed out windows.
I have
AMD Radeon Card, drivers updated, openGL
16GB ram
2 TB drive
core i7 4th gen
This seems to happen at random - at first I thought it was an issue of trying to open CC projects in CS6 (I have them both installed, to access older work).. but this project was pure CC from start to now.
HELP

Just for anyone who might be in this situation - I found a partial solution, maybe...
In Windows Explorer, change the "open with" association for all CS6 projects to open with CC. I was able to pull up the project in a recovery "import into a new project" method after I set this association differently.
Still would like answers, though... or is this just me not paying attention to what version files are opening in given that I have both versions installed?

Premiere Pro crashes whenever I enable my onboard microphone for recording voiceover

I wanted to record a voiceover to an edited piece - it's not important the quality of my voiceover, so I planned to record using the onboard microphone on my Macbook Pro (OS10.6.6, 2.66 GHz Interl Core i7, 8GB RAM).
If I go into Preferences > Audio Hardware and select Built-In Input it crashes Premiere Pro. I've submitted a crash report - but wonder if anyone has encountered anything similar or might know what I might do to avoid this or what might be causing the problem. I know that I have recorded voiceover before using the onboard microphone so this seems strange. (I've checked and the same problem occurs in After Effects - and it happens anytime I select one of the options that includes my onboard input. I am able to use my built-in microphone with other applications such as quicktime and camtasia, and no problems).

Has anyone encountered this problem or have any ideas how to fix it? I've seen several other people complain about the same or similar issues on other forums but can't find any solutions. I ended up needing to export my video from Premiere Pro and then add the voiceover in iMovie, and I really would have preferred to remain in PP. I'm confident it's not a hardware issue, so wonder whether anyone has any ideas about how to fix it...?
