Premier Pro CS4 crashes on launch
When I start Premier Pro I get the dialog box with New or Open existing project.
When I select New the dialog box disappears and the program hangs.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times including removing use folders.
Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should start looking to diagnose the problem?
TIA
Thanks for the very comprehensive answer .
I can now give my system spec - summary first then the details as they're rather long.
Gigabyte P55-UD5 motherboard; i5 CPU, 4Gb RAM; 3HDD + 1 SSD.
I have Windows 7 Ultimate 32 loaded on one HDD and on the SSD.
Premier Pro worked OK running on the HDD but not after installing SSD.
Now, even when I disconnect the SSD, Premier Pro doesn't run.
This probably means it's not the SSD as it still doesn't work when it's powered down.
I get the option to "create new" and "open existing"...
If I "open existing" I can search for projects (except I don't have any)
If I "create new", then PP crashes.
I have all the latest Win 7 patches and the latest nVidia card drivers.
Running 1024x768 at 32 bit colour.
I've also run the routines suggested by John T Smith (thanks very much John)
So far no difference.
Is there a logging routine that can be enabled to see what's crashing at the point of failure?

Premier Pro CS4 crashed frequently
While rendering the Premier Pro CS4 crashed frequently with the following message: "Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." any idea? the HW used is: HP workstation xw8600 with video card NVIDIA FX 4600. OS: Vista 32 bit
Hello,
Thanks for the help.
#3 - I realy consider it as the final solution
#2 - I already did it - didn't help
Regarding #1 - I don't understand what exactly to delete. The UserFolder>Documents>Adobe>Premiere Pro>4.0 is my working folder of Premier Pro where I'm saving all my current medias and project.
Shall I work with a different folder instead?

Please help: Premier pro CS4 crash on loading.
Premier pro CS4 crashes whilst loading. Cannot access the programme at all.
Downloaded the latest patch, hasn't solved anything.
Have tried rebooting. Premier is from the Adobe Creative Suite 4 Production Premium.
Computer spec:
Intel Core 2 Duo.
2 GB RAM
Running Microsoft Windows XP Home edition.
Version 2002, service pack 3.
Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 8400 GS. Latest drivers installed.
No partitioned disks.
If you can't see enough with the screenshots, heres some direct links:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/morbidxgrace/screenshot1.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/morbidxgrace/screenshot2.jpgI've killed all the processes you have told me too.
I've taken off the side of my PC and run a fan to hopefully help cool it down - With increasing airflow, I think I probably need a bigger case and more fans, this PC is a mixture of hardware from 3 that have been cannibalised. (Hence why the power supply isn't very good)
I'm sorry I'm not very computer literate, and I'm a student desperately trying to do her work. My PC isn't a notebook, its a desktop PC.
I'm not sure if there are any settings in the BIOS to help increase fan speed?
I'm really sorry, but what is a SATA drive?
Thanks so much for the help so far! It's still not working though :(
I'm going to wait a bit to see if the fan helps lower the temperature enough that its ok. -
Dear Folks:
I have the trial version of Adobe Premier Pro CS4, and I have 64 bit Vista Home Premium. I can not download Flash in order to view the Help Program Tutorial. I am a student at CCBC Essex Campus, and I need to assemble a three minute video for a class. I have Internet Explorer (latest version), and I also have Firefox. Please help me with a solution.
Thank You,

Import a file in whatever format (MPEG 2, MPEG 4, AVI, etc.), I add effects (or leave the file untouched) and then try to export it to MEDIA...Then Premiere Pro CS4 crashes giving me this error:
Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
[..\..\Scr\Component\ComponentFactory.cpp-119]
After pressing "continue" it brings another message:

Can't export to tape on Premier Pro CS4 Extended
When I attempt to export to tape from Premier Pro CS4 Extended, version 4.1.0, to a DV Cam, the tape rolls and records (with device control) but I get no video or audio.
I have:
-selected the timeline for the sequence
-the work area bar is over the entire sequence
-I’ve made sure the tape is record enabled
-I have tried two DV cameras, and three fire wire cords
-I am able to capture video into the computer using all of the above
-I’ve tried moving my project from my external hard drive to my internal one
Still no export…….
Any ideas why?
-I am using a Dell computer with:
- Windows XP Professional 2002 Service pack 3
- Intel[R] Core [TM]2 Quad CPU
-Q9450 @ 2.66JHz
-2/66 GHz, 3.25 GB of RAM
-Physical Address Extension
-Unfortunately I can not find the name of my video card but this computer was built specifically to edit video so I am sure it has one.Make sure External Device under Export is enabled in the Playback Settings of the Program monitor.

Premier Pro CS4 and Camtasia imported screen capture
I have a question from one of you professionals regarding Camtasia screen capture video imported to PP. I used several settings that was suggested in the posts in these forums and others and the quality of my video is still very bad. Please Help:
I am making a four minute training video that includes some screen shots of software. The final video will be put on DVD and Flash for website.
My capture settings of Camtasia are 1024 X 768. I used Tech smith codec and I used Logarith codec to produce the video in AVI from camtasia.
I set my PC screen size to 1024 X 768 as well.
My Premier Pro CS4 Setting HDV 1080i, 29.97 frame rate. 1440 X 1080 Frame size.
I also used the following frame sizes DV NTSC, 29.97 frame rate. 720X480 frame size
I also used MPEG2, HDTV 720p, 29.97High quality, 1280 X 720 frame rate
None of the above settings worked. Please help
Thank youThis ARTICLE and the included links might be helpful. Be very sure to look at all of the replies by Jeff Bellune on using the TechSmith CODEC's from Camtasia. I think that he replied in most linked threads.
Good luck,

I have been using Adobe Premier Pro CS4 which was installed on my macbook around 3 years ago at the University of Rhode Island. Since upgrading to Yosemite OX10.10, my premier pro applications do not open. I contacted Adobe about this, and they asked for the product serial number (which I never had). I have been retired for two years. My University tells me that they are unable to provide me with that serial number...they no longer have the program disks. Is there anything I can do short of buying a new Adobe Premier Pro? I think I am still entitled to purchase a student/teacher edition as an emeritus professor. What would I have to send in to Adobe to prove that I am (will a two year old paycheck stub do?
Being quite old, the reason CS4 won't load on your Mac running Yosemite may be because since Mac OS 10.8 (you are running Yosemite, which is 10.10) some old programs won't run due to Mac OS dropping support for 32-bit applications.
Someone who knows more than me might be able to get into the finer points of it but basically your problem is due to your new (up-to-date) Mac OS dropping support (the ability to run) for your older version of the software.
You'll need to upgrade to the latest version of Premiere Pro I think. -
Premier Pro CS4 install issues.
Hello - I am trying to install Premier Pro CS4 onto a Win XP/SP3 machine that already has CS5 Premium installed. The reason I need Premier CS4 is simple - I am still running a 32 bit machine. So, the download and install went without a hang or a hitch, but when I try to start the program I get a "Lincensing for this product has expired" error message. Prior to the install, I had a copy of Premier 5.0 installed, but it was uninstalled that prior to this install. During the install I get the green check mark with the serial number, and after three attempts at install/uninstall, (two installs with the serial number, and the last install attempt as a "trial" install) I am getting the same error when I try to open Premier, Encore, OnLocation or Media Encoder. I tried to call the Adobe "help line" but after listening to mind-numbing muzak for an hour I gave up, and came here. Anyone have any ideas on how to get this up and running? I HAVE to get video edited by Thursday with this.
Thank you all, in advance.
Alan Staats...Thank you, Mr. Smith. Resolved the problem by rolling back the date to 1 Jan 2006, opening Premiere, deactivating it, closing it, and re-opening it whereupon I was prompted for the "new" serial number. Turns out my assistant had downloaded and installed a trial version of it, and never removed it after the trial period ended.
By the way, I know that Premiere CS5 is a 64 bit program, which is why I downloaded and installed CS4 on my 32 bit machine. The 5.0 reference was literally to Premiere 5.0, a much earlier version of the program which I used for a short period around the turn of the century!
Again, thank you for the information and references.

Blending mode in Adobe Premier Pro CS4 not working???
in Adobe Premier Pro CS4, the "multiply" blending feature is not working properly. When there's no video underneath the "blending" layer, it SHOULD not show anything, but instead the clip instead just shows up.
Well, the problem is that you're assuming that the "nothing" in the gaps in your PPro sequence is "something," when really, it actually IS "nothing"...
OK, existentialism aside, when you see black in the Program Monitor that results from a gap between two clips, from a digital standpoint, there really is nothing there. Empty spaces in a PPro sequence are actually a fully transparent layer, created by an alpha channel that encompasses the entire frame. Since the Multiply mode is expecting RGB values to operate on, when it doesn't encounter any (due to the alpha channel) the effect is just ignored--that's why you see the clip with the Multiply mode when it crosses those gaps.
You can correct this by filling your gaps with "real" black, either from an imported graphic or from the black video generator in PPro. Simply edit a bit of it into the gap so that there are no holes, and your multiplied clips will disappear.
And for that matter, it's never a good idea to leave empty holes in a Premiere sequence; it's often the cause of rendering and exporting headaches. -
I have downloaded adobe premier pro cs4 to my mac book pro. I have the serial number. I purchased it in 2010. I have a new system and I want to transfer the license to this system. how do i now install and open it?
Sounds like you've downloaded the OS X version of the game, which won't run on iOS devices. You need either this version <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-star-wars/id557137623?mt=8> or this version <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-star-wars-free/id578915438?mt=8> for your iPod Touch.
The versions for iPad are <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-star-wars-hd/id557138109?mt=8> and <https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/angry-birds-star-wars-hd-free/id578909807?mt=8>.
Remember, all apps for your iPad or iPod Touch must be purchased through the iTunes App Store. You can do this directly on the devices by tapping App Store and searching for what you want. -
Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 crashes
My Premiere Pro CS4 crashes while It loads the workspace and then automatically close.
I had this problem before and there was a solution but i saved it as my favourites and it no longer exist because of the new forums.
Damn AdobeI do not know the older article, but THIS ONE might give you tips on gathering "clues," as to what is going on, when PrPro shuts down.
You say that all of your drivers are updated - double-check, as this is a very common cause.
Good luck,

Premier Pro CS4, not recognizing .mpg or .m2ts files
Hello, I downloaded the 30 day trial of Premier Pro CS4.. So far it works great other than the following:
Cannot recognize .mpg or .m2ts (avchd "high def") files... It recognizes only .wma files. Is this because I have the "free" trial
version? My currect Premiere Elements 7 reads all the above files with no trouble.OK, I good with that... but what's the point of trialing if you cannot manipuate videos ?? I'd hate to spend the $700+ without being comfortable with Premier Pro CS4. Allright, I guess I'll have to make .wma files to test.
Thanks for your feedback!

Premiere pro CS4 crashes at startup
Hi,
My Premiere pro CS4 crashes upon startup every time i run it.
My system:
Vista Business 64bit
Intel Duo Core 2 2.6ghz
4gb ddr2 ram
NVidia GeForce 9600M GT
I have tried running the program as an administrator, removing all plugins, and reinstalling.
I've attached my crash repport, can anyone please help.
- MJI tried the QT thing with no joy and I was using the 7.5.5 build.
I've already listed my system, but here it is again: Asus Maximus Extreme, intel q6600, 4gigs DDR3 1600mhz, 8800 gtx oc, 3x750gigs.
Deficient? Hardly since my 2.2 duelcore, 3gigs ddr2 geforce 8600m gt laptop ran it fine.
As to hardware Premiere pro CS4 is the only program my rig has an issue with After Effects CS4 ect works fine as does Premiere pro 2, but thats useless as I use AVCHD files.
I'm not sure what you mean by assets (my rig doesn't have any savings )
Project/Sequence settings I don't have any because I've just installed cs4 on this system.
Operator Error? Click on an icon Premiere pro CS4 loads without the welcome box it just bings when you try to use it. Can't see how it could be me, but I'd love to admit it was if i could get it working.
