Premier Element 8 crash when drag clip

I'm able to capture clip from my DV cam but everytime I want to drag
the clip into the timeline... the software just crash & close.
BTW I'm using the trial version.
Pls help me...

Now, when a program crashes, there is often a "breadcrumb trail" left behind. This ARTICLE will give you tips on finding "clues" in those "breadcrumbs." The trick is to follow any/all links in the error and warning messages, at the time of the program crash, in Event Viewer. This can take some time, and many of the trails will end in screens of useless code, that no one can understand.
At the very bottom of that article is "The Case of the Unexplained." It links to a MS video. It's a bit long, but funny and extremely interesting. It offers some great troubleshooting tips, plus points one to the tools. Those are extremely useful. Those are not "Easy Button" fixes, but are very useful.
Good luck,
Hunt

AE CC crash when drag jpg and png files to comp

Hi I have noticed photoshop exports of jpg and png files cause AE CC to crash when drag these files to comp Same jpg and png exported from CS6 do not cause crash.

What exact version of Photoshop CC are you using? 14.0, 14.1, 14.2?
How are you saving the PNG and JPEG files from Photoshop? File > Save As? Save for Web?
In After Effects preferences > Media & Disk Cache, is the Create Layer Markers from Footage XMP Metadata option enabled? Does the problem go away if you turn this off?
A similar problem recently occurred with files generated from Illustrator CC (17.1):
http://adobe.ly/1jlIykQ
However, we have no reason to believe the same problem would apply to files generated from Photoshop. I am not able to reproduce your problem with PNG and JPEG files saved from Photoshop CC (14.2), either from Save As or Save for Web. So either the conditions of your problem are more specific, or it is not related to the XMP Metadata problem.

Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements Crash When Open Together?

Anyone have a problem with Premiere Pro & Premiere Elements crashing when open together?
I have PE10 and am doing a trial of Premiere Pro CS6.
Both crash fairly quickly when open together.
i7 2600K
Windows 7 64 Bit
16GB RAM
GTX 470
Corsair AT 850 Watt PSU
Thanks!

The first thiing that comes to my mind is a resources issue. As you have a stout computer, with more than adequate RAM, unless something is failing (like a stick of RAM), or perhaps the GPU, I would not expect to see what you observe. On a much less powerful machine, I have no problem running PrPro, Encore, Photoshop, Illustrator, and a word processor, all at the same time.
I would look into this ARTICLE, which starts with some general tips on setting up one's computer for running PrE, and then goes into system and OS tune-up tips (this is probably where I would start, if the intitial checklist looks OK), and then goes into troubleshooting. I would definitely look here, and especially using Event Viewer to try and track down what is happening, when the crashes occur, and also the one on tools to test RAM, GPU's, etc.).
Good luck,

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!!

Premier Elements crashing

hello. i have Premier Elements 10 and it always crashes as it approaches 2 gigs of memory usage. i have 6 gigs of RAM
and the Intel Core i3-2120 CPU, and yet PE always get tired and crashes as it approaches 2 gigs of memory useage.
why can't PE process more than 2 gigs of activity? after all, this is the 21st century.

From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
•What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
•Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
•What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
•If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
•What were you doing when the problem occurred?
•What other software are you running?
•Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed? How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?
•Has this ever worked before? If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.? Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
And some other questions...
•What are you editing, and does your video have a red line over it BEFORE you do any work?
•Have you viewed the tutorial links at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1275830 page?
•Which version of Quicktime do you have installed?

Pls help - Photoshop Elements crashes when switching media types

Hello, I'm hoping someone can help. I just installed Photoshop Elements 7 and Premiere Elements 7 on a brand new HP Pavilion system running Vista, 9 GB of RAM. I then imported a catalog with ~18,000 photos and tags from Photoshop Elements v6 via backup from original system and restore to new HP system. Worked like a charm. Now I have the catalog open, and when I click on "View -> Media types -> anything else (Video, PDF, whatever)" irrespective of what I select, Photoshop Elements crashes. The error message states, "Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0 (Organizer) has stopped working. A problem cause the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Note this also happens when I use Ctrl-1 or other shortcuts.
Has anyone else seen this? I literally powered up the HP today, and loaded Elements and Premiere today, so it's not likely due to old software (eg I did not install Photoshop Elements 6).
Thanks all!
Ed

Please delete the folder C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\8.0\Organizer and relaunch to see if the problem vanishes.

Without exact system info we can't tell you much, but as a start make sure you are actually running with administrative privileges and stuff isn't blocked by security tools.

I'm no longer asked to match sequence settings in Premiere Pro CC when dragging clip to timeline

I don't know what happened but all of a sudden, when I drag clips from project into the timeline, I'm no longer asked if I want to match clip settings with sequence settings. How can I re-enable this asking feature?

Elements crashing when in Organizer

A friend who is a PC user using elements 9 is having problems with Elements crashing.
They had moved some files in the filesystem in a way that elements was no longer able to print them and when I tried to help them run a reconnect it gets stuck on the reconnect select box.
It has also been crashing at other times for them.
What are ways to fix crashing like this?
Is it a corrupt catalog?
What are the workarounds?
Thanks!

This happens when photos are moved or deleted from system folders. Always use Organizer and the catalog will stay tidy. It’s probably best to start over with a new catalog.
Open PSE9 Organizer.
On the top menu click File à Catalog
Then click the New button
Enter a different name e.g. My Catalog2
Leave the box checked “Import free Music into this Catalog”
Then click OK.
When the new browser window opens it will be blank.
Click File à Get Photos & Videos à From Files & Folders
Navigate to My Pictures and hold down the Ctrl key and press the letter A on the keyboard (to select all)
Click Get media or Open.
Wait for Organizer to generate thumbnails.

Premiere elements crashes when burning a DVD

I'm trying to burn a slide show I've created. It's a mixture of photoshop elements photo slideshow and edited videos, about 30 minutes long.
But every time I try and burn it to DVD, premiere elements crashes. It generally gets to about 30% through the encoding media stage.
Has anyone else come across this problem? I thought it might be related to virtual memory, but I've increased this, and it's not had an effect. I'm running it on a laptop with 4Gb RAM, so RAM shouldn't hopefully be a problem.
When trying to burn, i've also tried to reduce the quality so instead of using "Fit contents to available space" I've reduced the bit rate down to 5Mbps so the space required is just over 1.2Gb (it was originally about 2Gb).
Has anyone any suggestions as to how to resolve / diagnose this problem.
I've burnt several DVDs before without any problems, although they were mainly just photos
Thanks in advance

The easiest way to do this is with Photoshop (PS). I'm certain that PSElements can do it well also, but do not know what might be different. This is for Photoshop.
Place copies of your files into a folder. I use copies because I do not want anything to happen to my originals and play it extra safe. Add a sub-folder. I name mine something like "Final_PSD's,) etc. In PS, I have a series of Actions, to re-size to my common video formats. They are named things like, NTSC_Wide, NTSC_4-3, etc. The Action is set to Open the files, then change the size to the appropriate dimensions and assign the correct PAR for that Project, such as my NTSC_4-3 gets a PAR of 0.9. The Action then does a Save_As. I keep .PSD's as .PSD's, but JPEG would work well too.
In PS, I go to File>Automate>Batch Process. This brings up a dialog screen, where I choose the Action that I want to run, NTSC-4-3 in this case. I direct the program to the Source Folder and the appropriate Destination Folder, my "Final_PSD's" in this case. If I have the sub-folder targeted for the Destination Folder, I leave the file naming conventions the same. I check Bypass Open command, as I do not need to see the work being done. Check over everything. Hit OK, and in a few minutes, I can re-size hundreds of files. Time will depend on one's system, and also on the size of the Target Files.
I feel that there WILL be differences in PSE, but someone else will have to fill in that info. It has also been pointed out that the freeware image processor and cataloging program Irfanview cand do batch re-sizing quite well. This might be an option. I do not use it for such, so I cannot comment.
Good luck,

Photoshop CS5 crashes when dragging a new layer

I was searching the forum for similar problems, but non of the threads had a solution (except uninstalling and installing again PS CS5 or even worse - formatting my PC).
I must say that this problem is quite new. PS was working flawlessly for a few months. It crashes when I paste a new layer and drag it.
These are my specs:
* HP Pavilion 9750ej
* Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS with the latest driver 266.58 (I uninstalled the previous one, and had a clean install of the new driver)
* 2GB RAM
* 11.7GB of FREE SPACE on 320GB HDD (I know it's not much, but it shouldn't cause PS to crash, especially when I'm working with low-res pics)
I don't know how to create a crash-log, but I would attach if you could tell me how, and if it's needed.
Thanks!

You haven't said what version of Windows you're running.
You don't need to do anything special to create a crash log; all versions of Windows keep this information already in logs. These logs typically keep information a long time, possibly all the way back to your installation of Windows.
What you want to do is to get into the Windows Event Viewer. On a modern system you can hit Start then type event log into the search box, then when View event logs comes up, click it.
A Photoshop crash will be in the Windows Logs - Application section as an Application Error.
You'll want to copy the textual description, which should include the Faulting module, and paste it here. Usually the Faulting module tells us what part of your system is failing.

Wild Colors when dragging clips in Sequence

Hi All,
I just installed CS4 Production Premium on my Mac OSX Lion, everything updated to latest version (4.2.1)
On Premiere Pro, when I'm dragging clips into and around the sequence, the clips themselves turn into a crazy kaleidescope of colors everytime it is moved.
And it's like frozen onto the screen unless I close and reopen the sequence timeline. Why is this? Is anybody else having similar issues?
See image below:
So far it plays fine in a 2nd monitor, but the clip still gets crazy colors after dragging.
I am using Sony XDCAM EX clips (mp4).
I will try with other formats.
Don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I do have Avid Media Composer 6 installed on the same system.
It is an 8-core Mac Pro, 6GB RAM, NVidia 8800GT card, various storage types (RAID5 on an AVID VideoRaid ST, 1TB hard drives)
Thanks

There have been several similar posts to this forum, and, IIRC, all revolved around Lion. I do not recall any "fix," however, but they might well be in those posts. Being a PC-only person, I did not follow the threads as closely, as I should have.
I'd Search this forum, and maybe on "display," and "Lion."
If I can locate the threads, I'll post links.
Good luck, and wish my memory was better.

Photoshop Elements crash when I want to send a photo-email

Hello, when I want to send photo-email then photoshop elements crash. What can I do?

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using?
If you are on a Windows system, use Windows Explorer to locate the actual organizer - should be somewhere like this
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer\PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe"
If you are on a 32 bit system, omit the (x86) part.
Right click on that file and choose "Run as Administrator" - then try the email.
You need only do this once, you should be able to load normally after that.
If you still have problems please gives us details of which step it fails at.
