Premiere and Encore CS4 crashes and issues on Toshiba Laptop

I have a Toshiba Qosmino Laptop, 4 GB ram, Windows XP Sev pac 3, Nvida Gforce 7300 video. new 7500 RPM Hard drive
The two programs that crash all the time are Premiere and Encore CS4
Premiere will start some times and sometimes not. I've tried a new projects, importing a CS3 project seems to make no difference. Takes approx 2-3 minuites to load. Click on a imported video clip or timeline and crash.
Encore crashes "EVERYTIME"... tried to import from Premiere into Encore.. when the timeline is clicked in Encore it crashes everytime. Tried a new project in Encore same problem. Started Encore alone and same problem... first click and crash.
I'm not getting a blue screen just the Adobe crash report screen asking me to send a report... have done that many times.
Things that I have tried:
Had CS3 (BTY it ran fine)
Uninstalled CS3 and uninstalled CS4. Reinstalled CS4 same problems.
Defrag hard drive....
Reinstall CS4
Updated video drivers to latest version
Reloaded older video drivers
Did MSCONFIG and stropped all unneeded processes
All the rest of the CS4 programs open and run fine.
Any help is appreciated!!

Sounds like a problematic video driver or codec issue. You need to update all your drivers and try again. Also get rid of any unnecessary codecs. Try opening files in various formats and see if the same happens. Also you should search the KnowledgeBase, it contains a lot of information about this kind of problem.
If all fails, call Adobe Tech Support...

  • Encore CS4 crashes under Windows 7

    Jeff – I hope this email method of getting a forum message up does work, as currently it’s impossible to sign in to the forums (just get an endless loop of flashing screens about signing in to the forums – great)
    Anyway, I’m still trying to get CS2 up and running, and all I’m seeing is silly attempts by support and no progress since July.
    My original case on this (#211070010) had the following action: 6th Aug I was sent a copy of CS4, which is useless as it can’t open my CS2 projects, which I reported. Then about 15th August I was asked if the CS2 fix I’d been sent had worked.  Since I hadn’t been sent anything I said ‘no’ and the case was then closed! 
    Then a new case (#184634426) was opened, and Support contacted me to ask what the problem was(!).  They then took over my PC one night and proved to themselves that CS4 didn’t work. They then downloaded Creative Suite CS3 to try Encore CS3 – the theory being that if CS3 could open CS2 projects, it could maybe save them in a format CS4 could open. Great idea, but what they installed was useless as Encore CS3 is in Production Suite, not Creative Suite. When they found that out, they gave up and disappeared and I’ve never seen them since, despite telling them they were looking in the wrong install package.
    Anyway, I downloaded the right package, thinking I could try Encore CS3 on a 30-day trial, and if their theory worked, then good. If not I’m back to square 1 again.  BUT, even though I’ve said I want a 30-day trial, the stupid CS3 installer still wants a serial number, which I obviously don’t have. 
    So here we are again – 3 months down the track, a case open for over a month, nothing happening, and no end in sight.

    Jeff,
    Encore CS4 crashes when I try and open Encore 2.0 projects with a meaningless error message that doesn’t tell me why it is crashing or how to fix the project to make it open it. And nobody can explain what the error message means or why it happens, so I have no clues as to how to address the problem.  I have used Encore CS4 to try and open all my old projects and basically if it’s a Premiere-only output file its happy, but if it’s an Encore-only built ‘slideshow’ project it will crash. Which means most of my projects won’t open.
    I have also tried all the Adobe published tricks to fix ‘bad’ projects, which can change the error message to ‘Proxy stream does not support requested functionality’, which is also meaningless and no one can tell me what I should then do to address the underlying issue.
    Encore CS3 may or may not work – I don’t know, as I can’t get it past asking for a serial number, even though I just want a 30-day test period to see if it can re-save the project to improve things for CS4
    Encore DVD used to run fine before this stupid re-registering issue happened.
    All this is on Windows 7 (yes, I know 2.0 isn’t ‘approved’ for Win7, but as I and many others have found, it runs fine).
    I really don’t know why Adobe doesn’t just send us RegEdit instructions to turn on or off the bit that says ‘this program is registered’ and then we could all stop bothering you – it would be a much much simpler and cheaper fix for all of us, Adobe included, than all this farting around.

  • Premiere & Encore CS4 crashing on exit

    Hey,
    i just installed (twice..) Premiere Pro and Encore CS4 on a NEW computer running windows 7 x64.
    Everytime i quit either PP or Encore, i got a message telling me to send report.
    full log here : https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwgPIBNEPFGYSFEyRG5kQkJ1Y28/edit
    thanks in advance

    atv- I've experienced similar issues- usually when this happens to me is because I open a project with a lot of media and close it before all the media is loaded or when in a large project-one thing I've done to combat this problem is for big projects I usually start a new project when re-editing it later down the road and importing the sequences I need into the new proj rather than work in the same older project--
    Please make sure when you are using prem or encore that you close any unneeded programs you have open as this sometimes creates problems
    how much space do you have available on your c/program drive?

  • ENCORE CS4 Crashing Computer??

    My ENCORE CS4 is crashing the computer each
    time I send a rendered project to it from Premier CS3 or CS4.  I have installed the Production Suite two times in hopes of fixing the issue. Nope!
    Any suggestions, Please...
    Also does any one who may read this Post have a suggestion for a 3rd party software OR hardware which will allow Premier to process HDV in and out from a SONY HDV camera product???  Right now, all inputs; both DV and HDV default to DV on Capture from a 1080i/60 input.
    Advanced Thanks,

    all inputs; both DV and HDV default to DV on Capture from a 1080i/60 input.
    Here's the thing.  Premiere has no ability to convert during Firewire capture.  It's a straight bit for bit transfer from tape to hard drive.  So if Premiere is only capturing DV, then either the media on tape actually IS DV, or the camera is set to downconvert to DV.

  • Encore CS4 crash on render motion menus

    When I first installed Encore CS4 (Windows 64-bit computer), it crashed every time I rendered my motion menus. I found a thread on this forum from 2009 that discussed this issue, and installed the Roxio patch (or whatever it was called)--that was the recommended solution. After that, render motion menus worked fine so I thought the problem was fixed.
    But over the past few weeks, it has started happening again--intermittently at first. But today, every time I go to render a motion menu--with different PSD and MPEG-2 files--it crashes every single time. I am beyond frustrated.
    What should I do? Since Encore has rendered motion menus fine for the past few months for me, I'm doubting that it's the Roxio issue. I read somewhere that profiles can get corrupted and can be reset. But I have no idea how to do that. So before I start screwing around with stuff, I figured I would come here and see if anyone has any ideas for me.
    Thanks for your help.

    Here's what I might try.
    Start new project (probably after restarting my machine for good measure).
    Open a library menu with motion.
    Render. Does that work?
    If so, I'd look a bit harder at the motion assets. Try an old project that worked, and bring those assets into a new project for motion.
    I'd try reinstallng the roxio patch, if it fixed this before. (I don't think was what it was intended to fix, but I wouldn't argue.)
    If none of that works, I'd consider a repair install. See number 1 here:

  • Adobe Encore CS4 crashes during Render Progress

    After creating entire menu without any problems ( there is occasional encore system crash...) I go to File and then Render Project. Rendering process start with rendering of my audio file and then it goes to "Rendering menu" and crashes every time! I called technical support but after couple of hours i was told to give it a rest and try call them next day... I have bought CS4 back in June 09 and it was running kinda good, I had a system crash from time to time but never a problem with rendering. Now it will not even render my old projects that I have successfully burnt in the past. I get the same error every time; " Adobe Encore has encounter an error. [..\Port\PhotoshopObject.cpp-568] " and after clicking on "continue" button Encore disappears... I have formatted my "C" drive reinstalled windows vista64, reinstalled all software downloaded "new" file from adobe and reinstalled Encore again but the problem is still there. I also read some post about encore crashes and i even deleted my nvidia dll driver but Encore crashed as usual... Does anybody have any idea how to solve this?
    Thanks

    Well,
    it seems you have run Encore in the past succesfully (more or less) and this is the first "big stop".
    I'd suggest few tips:
    -have you recently update firmware, drivers of your video card or something else? If yes, I'd try the previous one, though I had to say that I'm working great with the newest beta 196.34 and my GTX 295.
    - It's just a menu render matter? or everything can't be rendered? (you probably know you can render every menus/assets one by one).
    Let's know

    I can open Encore fine but its when I do Dynamic Link from Premiere to Encore that it crashes and asks me to report the problem.  This is the first of me having this problem has we havent used the feature very much.  Thanks for any help.

    Though written for NLE work, most of the tips in this ARTICLE hold true for an authoring session too. Might be something useful in it.

  • Encore CS4 Crashes all the time

    I installed Adobe Production suite cs4 on my 8g
    Dell Precision 690 system running Windows 7 Professional.
    I love all of the other Adobe software and it runs rock solid.
    Encore, however, usually crashes when I drag a video file
    to the timeline.   (I noticed, also, that the video files appear
    to have what looks like a corrupted looking icon with half
    of the image taken up by a pixely looking green mosaic on
    the timeline.)
    I have updated my version of encore and I have checked
    quite a few of the crash threads.    I never really had
    any 3rd party dvd burner software, so there was nothing
    except the Windows 7 native programs capable of writing
    to the dmv.
    I is it appropriate to attach the crash data?
    Any help you could offer would be much appreciated.

    Stan, yes -  I'm putting more than one M2v on the timeline, but even with one, it eventually
    crashes.
    I tested the m2v output and it was "MPEG2-DVD pre-set: ntsc progressive widescreen high quality" with no other changes in the pre-set.    Encore did not like this output at all.  I have not yet tried your suggestion of importing it as a timeline vs. asset.
    So far, the only output my installation of encore likes is MP4.   The "H.264 Blu-ray preset HDTV 1080i 29.97 high quality" output seems to be the most favorable to a stable encore environment for me, and I'm not sure what this says about my installation.  Updated Nvidia drivers.  Updated encore CS4.   Roxio fix in place.   I still don't know what is causing the problem.  My work around is to use the "H.264 Blu-ray preset HDTV 1080i 29.97 high quality" output.

  • Encore CS4 Button & Loop Issues

    I am building a DVD in Encore CS4 and have two issues. The DVD consists of a main menu with one button linked to the main timeline (3 min 45 sec) and a video(1 min 2 sec 21 frames) linked for the menu to have motion along with an audio clip with the same run time. The video and audio were exported from Encore CS4 as MPEG2-DVD.The loop point is set to 9 sec 11 frames and is set to forever.
    Issue 1- When I try to preview the project in Encore before burning it starts as it should but stops at the loop point (9 sec 11 frames into it) and plays from the beginning. When I burn the DVD the loop works properly but I can not see it in the preview prior to burning. I wasted a couple of discs lining up the loop point due to no preview. I should also note that
    Issue 2- When the DVD is burned and played it loads the menu which plays as it should. At the 9 second mark a button appears signifying the loop point which when selected begins the actual video, as it should. After the video finishes and it loops back to the 9 second mark the button vanishes. The only way to navigate at this point is to hit the top menu button which starts it from scratch.
    I went back to a test burn I made and the button remained continuously after looping. What could I have hit that is now making the button vanish? And what can I do to get a full preview before going to build?
    Thanks for any thoughts.
    Cole

    1 is a problem.  Encore's preview capabilities have never been flawless.  Use rewritable disks to avoid coasters.
    2 is new, but I can't think of anythjing off hand to explain it.

  • Dynamic Link Premiere to Encore CS4

    I'm under the impression that each time you export from Premiere to Encore you have to start a new project. Am I correct? The only way to get your Premiere edits into Encore is to be in Encore and use the procedure =  File > Dynamic Link > Import from Premiere.  I have completed this step an I see  in my Encore Project Window a Premiere sequence, but it's not the current edits I did in Premiere. Form Premiere I do a File>Dynamic Link>Export to Encore routine. It creates a new project. I check the timeline in the new project and it is the updated edits I did in Premiere. But I can't get the updated edits into my old Encore project. How do I get my new Permiere edits into Encore project.

    No, not correct.  But it is a bit hard to find in help.  someone added this comment on the help page below:
    Director Jones: Just drag sequences from Premiere project window and drop into an existing encore project (or) Open your existing encore project and try "File->Adobe Dynamic Link->Import Premiere sequence" option.

  • Encore CS4 Crashing On Motion Menu Render

    Working with a blu-ray project that has a total of 19 motion menus.  While attempting to render motion menus, the program crashes and takes me to a crash report screen.  I get no error message; just a crash and report screen.
    The crash seems random in terms of when it occurs during the render process, so I cannot seem to narrow it down to a particular menu or file.  This crash occures both when building the project as well as when I try and render the menus through File>Render>Motion Menus.
    I can find very little on the cause online, thus am attempting to post here in hopes that someone can share with me some answer as to how to fix this issue quickly.
    Thanks!

  • Encore cs4 crashes upon creating a new file

    I recently purchased the Production Premium CS4 and when I try to run Encore or Premiere Pro, when I make a new file the program will quit and give me an Adobe crash submit screen.  I have tried chaging the sizes and types of the files I create, defragging the harddrive, reinstalling Encore and Premiere, installing updates, all to no success.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Usually, the problems with Roxio are in relation to its DLA (packet-writing) module and Encore "seeing" one's DVD drive. In a Custom Install, one can choose to not install this (plus a little indexing/cataloging module). Usually, just the necessary parts of Roxio do not cause that many problems. However, uninstalling it, to do a Custom Install, can pose a problem, as the little tentacles seem to reach everywhere.
    I have the full DivX package on my workstation, and the CODEC's on my laptop. To date, they have played fine with Encore2, though I do NOT use any material that uses that/those CODEC(s) as Assets - only for my conversion program to convert to DV-AVI Type II for work in PrPro, and to Export to DivX for streaming (again in PrPro). Does not mean that a more recent version of Encore might not have a problem with it.
    Now, many games love to "hook" various aspects of a computer system, when they are installed. This is to wring the most performance out of the computer. This would be an area that I'd look at very, very closely. One place to start would be any fora for the particular games, and also reviews on gaming sites, that test and report. Look for any comments about games that need to boost the performance of any sub-system on the computer. Back in the later DOS/early Windows days, I had a separate boot disc for almost every game, because each needed RAM, and graphics managed in special ways. Now, the system requirements are so very much greater, than way back then. Would be worth an investigation.
    Wish I had a "magic bullet" for your problem, but only see things to qustion and nothing that screams out at me.
    Good luck and please report back,

  • Adobe Encore CS4 crashes when starting

    When I try to start Encore it fails to start and produces a crash report.  It does not even get to the splash screen.  Has any one ever had this issue?

    Hello Bill,
    I have looked at the event viewer and there is nothing in there that points to issues that could cause what appears to be a corrupt file/directory.
    I have now had the same happen to soundbooth.  I could not start soundbooth.   I then renamed the directory: C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Soundbooth\2.0 to C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Soundbooth\2.0_Old.  I later deleted the library.
    Again Soundbooth now works.
    I still do not know what caused the problem.
    Anyone any idea what is happening?

  • Encore CS4 crashes when opening transcoded project

    I have made previous dvds/blu-rays with these steps before, but I'm running into problems now, here is what I've done:
    1. Create new encore blu-ray project.
    2. Import everything and setup project.
    3. Burn project to dvd image.
    4. Burn project to blu-ray image.
    The problem I'm having for my current project is after burning the dvd image, I decided to restart my computer before I made the blu-ray image, and now I can't open the project file.  It says something like "getting transcoding settings", and I can see all the assets show up in the asset list, but then it crashes.
    I was not aware of this before, but apparently encore uses C:\Documents and Settings\%USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Adobe\Common\Media Cache\ to hold temporary files.  I changed this location under the media encoder properties to use my D: drive.
    I noticed that for every time I tried to load the project again, it would create a new set of temporary files in this folder (which took up a lot of space).  I use to think all the temporary files for the encore project were located in a folder within the directory of the encore project file, but I guess not.
    Does anyone know anything I can try to get the encore project file to open????

    Probably this is due to something cleared out of my suggestions.
    Temp files are the one I meant in the previous thread.
    When I do some "folishness" I usually clear this files and, after the first time it has to rebuild, every re-opening of the project takes just a min. max.
    The names of the folders sound like a DVD project and not a BR one as you've said.
    Have you right clicked over the files and choosing the option "change asset" (eighth line), connect the file to the missed one?
    Anyway, no worries, I think that a good brand new project will fix everything.
    Remember do not change Archive folder during a project, do it before.
    Ciao
