Welcome to the forum.
First thing that I would do would be to look at this Adobe KB Article to see if it helps.
Next, I would try the tips in this ARTICLE.
If that does not help, a Repair Install would definitely be in order.

Need help with Premiere Pro 6 media/file management!

I've been an Avid editor for 20+ years and understand media management in that world. I've recently learned FCP 7 and understand media management in that world. But for the life of me I cannot wrap my head around how Premiere Pro 6 manages media. I am looking for a very straightforward explanation, chart, anything to make sense of this. Thanks in advance for helping an old dog learn new tricks!

Need help with Premiere Pro 2.0

I have a very old labtop that was running out of disk space. I opened up the "Preview" folder of Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 and deleted all the preview files. Now Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0 will not open. When it gets to "Loading Write_on.aex", I get this error message:
Runtime Error!

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
The problem is that Adobe no longer supports this program. Please help as I cannot open/edit my files!

I Need Help With Premiere Pro CC File Issue

When I shoot video with my Canon XF100 camera for an extended period it creates new files every 5 minutes. In a continous shoot it keeps these separate files in a sub-folder until I hit the stop button. When I recommence shooting it creates a new sub folder and a new file.
Until recently Premiere Pro CC would read each file seperately in a sub folder but just recently it has started to combine them all. For example, if I was shooting continuously for 15 minutes I would get three 5 minutes filesand Premiere Pro CC would normally see 3 separate 5 minute files with their own file names but just recently it will see 3 files, each 15 minutes in lenghth, and each with the same content even though they have different file names.
Has anyone else experienced this and, if so, do you have a solution?
Thanks,
Milton

This was an unintended result of an intentional change to fix how Premiere Pro handles spanned MXF clips. To learn a bit more, please consult this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1358012?tstart=0

Premiere Pro CS6 playback issues & graphics glitches

Hi everyone.
For a few days now (not sure whether it's been like this since the latest update) I have been experiencing serious playback issues and graphics glitches with Premiere Pro CS6. I'm on a Macbook Pro Retina.
Please see attached screenshot for reference. What happens is, I start Premiere - it works fine for a few minutes, but at some point things start to go wrong. The program monitor doesn't show anything anymore, even though the playhead is moving and I get audio.
Sometimes, either the program monitor or the source monitor displays some other part of the Premiere UI or even OSX Finder windows/ other applications like safari. What you are seing in the screenshot is a glitch showing a part of the source window within the program window.
Once this happens, there's nothing I can do but to restart Premiere.
Does anyone else have these kinds of issues?
Premiere is becoming unusable for me at the moment, which is a serious issue since this is my primary NLE.
What also happens from time to time is the following: i start up my project, and once i do anything like moving the playhead, i receive the following error message "a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down" which then does exactly what it says. this will happen repeateadly until i restart my computer.
Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the forum.
Make sure you have the latest driver for your video card, and if you're using hardware mercury playback, then make sure you have the latest CUDA drivers from nvidia. If that doesn't work, then please answer the questions here as completely as you can:

Using GF 680GTX 4GB with Premiere Pro CS6

I am thinking in buying the GF 680GTX 4gb to use it with Premiere Pro CS6, but I've just discovered it's not compatible as a GPU Accelerator. Is there any way I can make it work with the program? Thanks in advance!

Yes... I run one and it works fine.

Premiere Pro CS6 playback freezes, regenerates .pek and .cfa files

When I try to watch something in a sequence, the Program Monitor freezes. The playhead moves in the timeline as usual and the audio plays just fine, but the visual freezes. Sometimes it stops a few seconds after I start playing and sometimes the video never plays at all. When I stop playback, it remains frozen for a while, then resets to the frame the playhead is on.
As I checked different options, I discovered Premiere is regenerating both the .pek and .cfa files every time I open it, even though all of my projects have already conformed. I have it set to store the media files with the project, so I know the preview files have not moved or been deleted. I work on this setup 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and nothing changed since I was in yesterday. It was working fine when I shut it down last night, no one could have logged in while I was gone, and this morning it doesn't work. No updates were installed, no files were moved, no drives switched.
I have searched the internet for help, but all of the forums I've found are at least two months old and recommend installing the 6.0.3 update. I did run updates for all my Adobe software, and it didn't help. I also deleted and re-rendered my peak and cfa files.
One six-month-old forum said that Premiere CS6 cannot playback long AVCHD .m2ts files. Previously I had no problem working with .m2ts files 35 minutes and shorter, or with .mp4 files up to 75 minutes long. The video I'm currently working with is about 75 minutes long. And again, it was working fine yesterday.
Further investigation revealed that playback does not freeze when I import a selection from the Source Monitor (vs. importing from the Bin and trimming in the Timeline) and do not layer clips or apply effects.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.
Media Spec:
File type: AVCHD Video
Resolution: 1920x1080 (1080p), 29 fps
Imported from camera hard drive using PlayMemories Home
Computer Spec:
Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
Windows 7, 64-bit Service Pack 1
Graphics card is Quadro 5000, driver 276.19
OS/boot drive is a solid state 250gig, and files running off a 2TB local hard drive

I've tried several more things.
The playback does not freeze if I have only one clip in the timeline.
If I have clips on two or more video tracks, it starts freezing.
Once I clear it down to one video track, it takes a couple of seconds (up to 30) to start playing normally again.
Sometimes I can play two tracks for several minutes before it freezes. Sometimes it freezes immediately.
When I open Premiere, I get the "Media Pending" screen for way longer than usual.
I have rebuilt the peak and cfa files, no difference. GPU accelerator is enabled. The latest Adobe updates are installed.
I see a few other forums with similar problems but no solution.
No settings, file formats, or file locations have changed since Monday (the last time CS6 was working properly). After a lot of digging around I found that a Windows Defender Definition update was installed the morning of the day PP started freaking out. I can't get rid of this update.
I edit two or more hours of footage per day. They are lectures, so they are recorded in 1-3 hour chunks. I use two videos simultaneously--one with the professor's powerpoint presentation, and one of the professor. I keyframe the PPT video into the corner, overlaid over the lecturer. I did this for years without problem in CS5.5 and for two months without problem on my current setup.

Imac Graphics cards with Premiere Pro cs6

Hello
I just changed over to Premiere Pro cs6 from avid and fcp 7/x. I am already sure i made the right decision. I love the interface, i really love it! and cant wait to get stuck into it properly.
I just bought a brand new, all singing all dancing 27 inch imac full spec 32gb RAM with a NIVIDA Geforce GTX 680MX 2048mb card. However pro cs6 by default is using the “Mecuary playback engine sofware only” instead of the “Mecuary playback engine Acceleration [CUDA] and i cant change it. Does it cs6 not support this card and if so will it in the future?
Any help would be greatly apericated!
Kind regards
Philip

Hi Paul
You mention last week that you had the same problem as me with your new iMac and graphics card with cs6.
I was just onto Adobe and they told me that they could not assist.
Can you tell me who you death with?
I am really keen to get this card running!

Premiere Pro CS6 - playback and C300 issues

Hi,
I seem to be having an issue with Premiere Pro playback.
At the moment, I'm looking through a rough assemble I've done on a PPro sequence and then the playback will start getting choppy. The only solution seems to be rebooting PPro, which is obviously very frustrating. The footage is C300 files, stored on my RAID. Why is this happening?
My system details are as follows:
MBP early 2011, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD
6TB Pegasus R6 RAID connected via Thunderbolt
30" ACD
Mac OS 10.7.4 , PPro 6.0.1
I use a 2-screen setup, so the 30" monitor will have the PPro tools and seq etc, whilst I use the 17" MBP screen as a viewing monitor.
Another issue I had which is more annoying that anything is that when I imported the rushes from my C300, PPro decided to import a fairly long (80") interview as loads of separate .MXF files RATHER than joining them together, which FCP seemed to have no problem in doing...How do I sort that out?
Thanks

I am having precisely the same problem as bricklaneeditor, and have exactly the same setup: MBP early 2011, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD,
30" ACD, Mac OS 10.7.4 , PPro 6.0.1
Indeed, a restart of Premiere Pro always fixes the problem -- for a while. I've also seen similar behavior in Media Composer 6.0.1 once or twice so am wondering whether it's an issue with this machine/OS, as the playback software architectures are so different on those two NLE's.
I should also mention that the problem is not isolated to any particular file format -- have seen it with timelines containing 7D footage, HDV and ProRes files.
I strongly suspect some sort of problem on either Apple's or Adobe's end with the GPU in this machine, as it is ATI and not Nvidia -- and is, as far as I know, the only non-CUDA GPU, at least on the Mac side, certified to work with the CS6 Mercury Playback Engine.
Also wondering whether an over-the-top or a clean install of Mountain Lion might shake things up enough to make a difference. (Otherwise I'm in no big hurry to upgrade my OS.) Is anyone seeing this problem with PPro under 10.8? Might be worth installing 10.8 over an external HDD clone of the System drive and booting temporarily from the clone just to see if the problem persists in Premiere.
Anyone have any thoughts on these possibilities?

Premiere Pro CS6 timeline problem

I used to have Premiere Pro 2.0. My computer crashed so I purchased Premiere Pro CS6. My Nephew downloaded it. It is also activated. When I went to the program the icons for the timeline where there but no timeline were visible. Is this normal or is there a problem with the program?

He's around here regularly. As in, answering in the thread "Trim tools" currently, a number of others. VERY experienced pro, works delivering content to b-cast & other use. Knows the keyboard shorts & 5 different ways to do about anything. Can be almost cryptic on answers. Send him a "pm" (private message) through the forum and he'll typically answer back.
Be specific. Be polite. Don't be shy. Don't expect a lot of "sensitivity".

MXF issues with Premiere Pro CS6

Hello,
I am having trouble using Canon XF300 MXF files in Premiere Pro CS6 v6.0.2. I am using the media browser (tried icon and list view) to import footage (first importing to internal HD via the Canon XF Utility). I can import and play audio and video for all files under 2.05 GB but PPro limits any file longer than 30 seconds to 30 seconds.
Alos, Canon cameras cut files over 2.05 GB into separate MXFs. Most of my footage are interviews over 10 minutes long so I have 3 or 4 separate MXF spanned files for each clip. Premiere is having most trouble handling these files. First of all it limits them to 30 seconds each. Then, when I import them and drag them into a sequence it will only play audio from the first spanned file, even if video from the second sapnned file is playing.
I have tried merging all spanned files using Canon XF Utility's 'Export to MXF' function. As a result I have one 10 minute long MXF file but when I import it to PPro it still limits it to 30 seconds.
I made the change to PPro because of the ability to edit various formats in a single senqunce without tanscoding. I recently purchased a Sony FS700 and FCP7 couldn't really handle the MTS (or clipwrapped movs). Premiere handles them perfectly but can't handle the MXFs. So currently I am finding myself going into FCP7, logging and transfering the MXFs and transcoding them to .movs using the Canon XF plugin for FCP7 and then importing those to Premiere (they work fine this way)...but of course its a hassle to do with hundreds of clips per shoot.
I also noted that VLC 2.0.x versions can't handle the MXFs so well (video plays fine, audio at double the speed) but VLC version 1.0.3 handles them ok as long as I dont forward the video.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Computer specs: Mac Pro 2.66GHz 12 core, 16 GB RAM running latest Snow Leopard update.
Clips shot at: 29.97 fps, 50 Mpbs, HD 1920x1080.

(first importing to internal HD via the Canon XF Utility)
Try skipping any special software and just use Windows Explorer (or Finder).

Crashing issues with Premiere pro Cs6

When I use Premiere Pro CS6 it tends to crash and it also tends tends to make the video pink and green looking, and it also sometimes flips it upside down and turns it black and white. So I was wondering if auto-saving had anything to do with it or if my camera or cpu had anything to do with it. I re-installed the program once, I also tried converting my video files to h264 before bringing them into Premiere. I use a Sony HXR MC1500p, and I am not using PAL by the way (or maybe I am and I am unaware), I really dont understand PAL and NTSC anyway.

Please Help me!
Thanks, Ryan

1st. You don't have convert you videofiles they are AVCHD so OK for Premiere Pro.
2nd. The edit PC (with Pro pro) is far better off with Intel CPU, Nvidia GPU, lots of harddiscs, >800 watt gold PSU, big CPU cooler etc etc..
3rd. Read a few hours at the hardware department. And you could build a nice machine for $1500,- to $3000,- yourself or order at ADK.
