Premiere CC 2014 eating up RAM

When I work in Premiere CC 2014.1, as was the case in prior versions, it is soaking up my RAM.  Below are screen shots of when I first open Premiere, up to about 10 minutes later, when almost all of my available memory is shown as used (Premiere gets pokey when working in the timeline at that point).  I have no other programs open.
I'm on a 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon mid 2010 Mac Pro
32 GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB (this card is a recent upgrade...was having the same issue with the previous ATI Radeon)
OS 10.9.5
Apple Pro Res 422 media
I have Preferences>Memory set to optimize for Memory and have 28GB available to Premiere.
I'm not using any third party plugins on the timelines I'm working on (nor any effects), though I do have plugins loaded.
I have had this issue when working on my internal Seagate 7200RPM drives as well as my external eSata RAID drives.
Does anyone else have this issue?  Any thoughts as to what might be happening?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
--jon--

My Premiere Pro CC 2014 also freezes when I try to export. I do not get any error messages, it just freezes and I have to restart my computer. The only way I can render is to Queue to Media Encoder CC 2014.
I have tried posting my problem many times but this Community Forums will not accept my post and keeps telling me to 'try again later .m4'.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 eats my C: drive in Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1

    I installed Premiere Pro CS4 this last weekend 11-12 April 2009.
    I have a Quadcore 3.0GHz with 8Gb of RAM, a 150Gb C: drive fo rthe op sys Vista Ultimate 64-bit SP1 and programs, a 500Go D: drive for general data and a K: drive 2Tb RAID0 volume useable about 1.8Gb.
    My C: drive was healthy after installation of Premiere Pro with tens of gigabytes free at least. Then I started experimenting with building projects. I put my files on a mix of the D: and K: drives especially the AVCHD video assets on the K:.
    While importing these AVCHD assets I eventually got a message from Vista that the C: drive was full and I did a clean up and that gave approximetely 30Gb free, I went back to importing, in a couple of hours the 30Gb was gone, this can only be Premiere Pro CS4 eating the C: drive and never returning what it takes. This of course is a disaster precisely because it is my op sys drive and Vista will periodically want to make new restore points especially before applying downloaded updates from Microsoft. I ahve run also chkdsk and defragmenter with no effect. I think Premiere Pro is using some sort of secret work files on the C: drive somewhere and that they just accumulate, of course this would be a bug.
    Support Center does not appear to let me open web support issues even though we are in the 90-day bug fix period and I have registered the product with the product key so that is another bug that gets in the way of fixing the first.
    Any ideas please?
    Thanks!
    Peter.

    Yeah, I did not take backups that often cos I did not intend putting the machine onto the net, then I got this device that said it would protect against everything by isolating my machine and making it invisible, I await the analysis by the company but it does appear not to have worked, the only thing that works is very real physical isolation and do not use the internet at all from the main machine. Like I say it simply is not confirmed yet but neither is it denied. You cannot actually go so far as to blame Adobe because stopping hackers is the job of the op sys vendor really so I blame Microsoft, the only blame for Adobe is the policy that some functions require internet connection in order to work when they know internet is not secure, so for instance if you want to use the emulators for things like these mobile phones they want you to be connected, I tried that one phone emulator and it said so, I wish they just put all documentation and all software on the DVD. I can roll back to an earlier Vista version from a USB backup disk that is always powered off, then rebuild as necessary, but I want the security firm to see if it is a trojan in fact first and to see if it can upgrade the security device and provide a roll out of the trojan's work. Right now I am still scripting the documentary and this second quarter is getting this Premiere Pro up ready for third quarter production so I can be philosophical for now, but yes later I will get more disciplined. But at least now I (almost) know the security device is not the all singing wonder they said it was. Oh well. I use a second machine too, a PS3 with Linux, that is what I am using now, this one doesn't seem to get hacked even though it is my sacrificial machine.

    Adobe deserves criticism for its shoddy QC, but not for maing you exposing your main machine at risk on the internet. I never do that, and I never have had a virus or malware on it--never in all the years I've been doing this. I have picked up a few on my internet machine, though, but they are easily fixed with the security scheme I use.
    As for restore points possibly eating up disk space, which you alluded to earlieranother never for me. Restore points are a half assed measure at best. My security system is a full clone backup of my C drive starting the day I install and OS on it, and every time I add add a program, and every day when I am working a big complex project. Otherwise, once a week. It takes a few minutes only. That way I can restore everything in equally few minutes should anything bad happen, like poorly designed software affecting other software, a virus, malware, etc, and including drive failurewhich has happened twice over the years.
    Don't get me wrong, a virus checker is very useful to a point, but real security design has to start long before you install one, especially if your machine is the heart of your business, as it is for me. What is that old saying? An ounce of prevention is worth..........

  • Premiere CC 2014 causing auto-restart?

    I have a MacPro 3,1 with 10.10 and 32GB RAM.
    During editing in Premiere CC 2014, the computer has auto-restarted twice in the past hour.  Both times, I was doing something different in Premiere (dragging several clips forward in time & rendering all video) so I'm unsure as to what triggered it.  The footage is stable and on a clean, problem-free external RAID.  I also noticed that now, two of my 4GB DIMMs are not recognized. (note: all DIMMs have tested positively with Rember, and are of the same manufacturer)  In the meantime, I have removed the two DIMMs in question and now have four DIMMs on the top riser, two on bottom.  The two slots that have caused problems seem to be fine now, but with every restart, things changes—that's why I do not believe the issue to be the actual DIMMs themselves.
    I have the crash report and need to rule out issues in the crash report if there are any.  I will post the report if the smarter people out there believe it to be necessary.  I HOPE the problem is with Premiere, the RAM and not one of the risers.

    I had a similar problem with Arri Amira Prores 4444 footage and found out the cause from the Arri website:
    "When AMIRA footage is ingested into Premiere Pro, the appropriate LUT from the camera is automatically applied as a Lumetri effect, which can be toggled off if necessary."
    The way to switch it off is to right-click the imported master clip(s) and go "Remove Masterclip Effects" , the cause of the baked-in look.
    Hope that helps.

  • Adobe Premiere CC 2014 crashing and can't open project in Premiere CC

    Hi,
    Till now I had been working with Premiere CC with no problems. I decided to try out Premiere CC 2014 with a new project, and I regret I did.
    I start working ok, but after about an hour of editing, it freezes on playback. And its a much smaller project then the ones I've worked on CC. No color correction and very few effects yet. Its frustrating. I have to force quit premiere and start over again, for a little more time before it freezes again.
    I tried to open the project in premiere CC and was surprised that I can't. I can't even save the project it appears from Premiere Pro CC 2014 to Premiere CC, just one version down??
    If anyone know a way to do this please let me know. Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not ready yet.
    I have a MacPro 5,1 running on 32 GB RAM, with an USB 3 raid drive. It worked seemlessly and pretty fast with Premiere Pro CC, while Premiere Pro CC 2014 gets clogged.
    Many thanks

    Hi, Arjun,
    My OSX version is 10.9.2 and I'm using only a Red Giant plug in in two short clips, and a RED Giant transition. I have the newest Red Giant Plug in Versions (for the Premiere Pro 2014 update), they worked fine in Premiere pro CC.
    Is there a way to take the Premiere Pro CC 2014 project to Premiere Pro CC?
    Many thanks.

  • Experiencing issues with audio scrubbing in Premiere cc 2014

    Since upgrading I've been having issues with audio scrubbing in Premiere CC 2014.
    Some of the time it won't scrub at all (silence) when I know that scrubbing option is turned on. Other times it will scrub the wrong section of the timeline, I'll hear dialogue from a different point in a clip.
    Much of the time I experience this I'm working with multicam clips in sequences.
    Working on iMac 2013, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA 780
    thank you.

    Currently using / testing a 30 day trial of CC 2014 (CS5 user for years with no issues) and all was fine yesterday when editing. Turned on today and had no way to scrub audio. Also had no Intensity Pro external monitor which worked fine the day before. Restarted PC and still nothing so starting poking around with the playback settings in preferences by choosing Adobe Desktop audio in the audio device section choosing OK then selecting back to Blackmagic audio then hit Ok. All of a sudden there was my external monitor and was able to scrub audio again. It's like it's sleeping knowing it should work until you poke it a few times to wake it up. How my Intensity Pro external monitor and scrubbing audio being related in any way is perplexing. Or am I being obtuse?
    I would contact Blackmagic Design to make sure your drivers are current. Can you try that?

  • Editing a series for Fox - weird behavior from our system since Premiere CC 2014.2 Update

    Hi all,
    I'm cutting a series for Fox and we're on season 3. I cut all of season 1 on FCP7. Then dipped my toe into Premiere waters between seasons and cut all of season 2 in Premiere with excellent results. My only gripe on the previous Premiere CC versions was towards the ends of cuts when my timelines were rather complicated, I'd have a crash or two each day. Well I'm finishing up an episode this week which is the first I've cut in version 2014.2. It's WAY more stable, I haven't had a single crash in weeks. That part is amazing! The huge downside has been that my real time performance seems to have taken a serious hit even though the hardware, disk storage, video card, tower etc. are all identical. Worse is that when I'm playing back a sequence that's longer than one show act (like a sequence with the entire show in it, only 22 minutes) I'll a lot of time get a slight stutter frame between edits and that happens on a lot of edits. It's a fast paced racing competition show so say I'm playing back my timeline with a cut from a go pro on the steering wheel to a shot outside the car, it looks like there's a freeze frame of 2 frames long at the end of the GoPro shot before going to the shot outside the car. It's not only going from GoPro to non GoPro, it seems to happen on any kind of footage UNLESS I render it all, then it's fine. It's very frustrating. I've also confirmed when opening up an old show that played back fine on the previous version that this is still happening on these old projects as well. Also when color correcting in a sequence, there's generally a delay in seeing my color changes of several seconds! Premiere has always been instantaneous or very close to instantaneous when showing color updates for the past year until this update. Is this a known issue? Here's my specs:
    Premiere CC 2014.2
    Mac Pro 2009 2.93 Octo
    32GB Ram (in my memory settings of Premiere, I have it set to optimize rendering for Performance and 26 GB RAM for Premiere, 6GB for other apps)
    GeForce GTX 780 6GB version
    My media is attached via a GRAID 4TB drive connected via eSata. I've also tried a different Graid attached via USB3 and another hard drive connected via FW800.
    OSX 10.9.5

    Hi, I had the same problem.
    What I found is the audio external interface needed to be reset.
    So I've did this : quit Premiere, unplug my USB audio device, plug it back and launch premiere.
    Every was fine.
    Hope it work for you.

  • Pro Res 422 clips not working on Windows Premiere CC 2014

    Originally I was getting the 'media pending' non-stop but now nothing shows at all and Premiere freezes.
    I have uninstalled every codec on my system and every media player and then reinstalled just Quicktime. It just locks up the system.
    Windows 8.1
    Quicktime 7.7.6 (which I believe includes with Prores decoder)
    Adobe CC2014
    i7-5820k
    32Gb DDR4 RAM
    Geforce 980GTX 4Gb
    Quicktime player plays the files perfectly on Windows.
    Premiere CC 2014 on Mac plays the projects perfectly.
    But Premiere CC 2014 on Windows grinds to a halt each and every time.
    I've trawled through every thread on similar subjects and tried everything I have read or seen so far but nothing helps. I've tried CineC and the other prores alternatives to see if they can 'jump start' Premiere seeing the files but nothing.
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated as I'm supposed to be doing this edit over this weekend.

    Using Dynamic link tool ,
    how i can purchase software that supports Dynamic link?
    This supports the plan this thing Complete - For New Customers

    I don't know if it's the same problem, but when I open my computer and lunch Premiere Pro CC 2014, i have to wait between 5 to 10 minutes to see some media in preview and program monitor. All the files in the project bin are "pending" and I have the super beachball. After the waiting time, everything become perfect and I can close and open Adobe Premiere like I want. Just don't have to shut down the mac. If I shut down the mac, I'll have to wait again...
    It's a real problem that I have since I upgraded to Yosemite and CC2014. did a clean reinstall and still have the same problem.
    I have a iMac 3,4 GHz Intel Core i7, 32g Ram, SSD.
    Let me know if you have the same problem because right now, when I did some search on the web, I found nothing!

  • What is the best PC laptop to use with Premiere Pro 2014?

    I'm excited that I get to buy a NEW LAPTOP!!!
    I'm editing a documentary with tons of footage.  I'll use external SSD drive for files.
    What is the best PC laptop to get for editing movies on Premiere Pro 2014?
    I can spend up to $1500
    Thanks SO MUCH for your help!!!!

    premiere will run fine with the 7200rpm hdd. while editing, if your hdd/ssd isn't fast enough it will stutter and skip as it cant feed the data fast enough to premiere. thats with high bitrate footage, if you are using low bitrate footage the 7200rpm might work ok to hold your footage too. odds are that external samsung ssd will be fast enough to hold the media, project cache and any preview files. you shouldn't need another external hdd for export/render.
    the ssd for internal will let windows boot faster and let programs open and close faster. once windows is loaded and programs are opened, they load into ram. there is little to be gained after that for ssd/hdd speeds while using most programs.

  • Premiere CC 2014 won't playback

    Hi,
    I am working on a piece utilizing mostly still images (a mixture of PNGs, JPGs, and TIFFs) which have been animated using the motion properties.  This was originally a FCP7 project that I moved over to PPro via XML when my company migrated to the Adobe CC.  Starting yesterday it won't play back at all; I will press the spacebar to start playback and the play button in the program monitor will flash to the stop icon, like it's trying to play, but then it doesn't do anything.  Sometimes it won't even refresh the program monitor when I move the CTI around the sequence.  I've tried restarting the program and the computer and a few times it would resume refreshing the program monitor when I move the CTI, but it still won't play back.
    I am running Premiere Pro 2014.0.1 on a Mac Pro with OSX 10.8.5, 2 x 2.4 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon CPU, 14 GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro 4000 GPU with 2 GB VRAM.
    Any help you can give will be most appreciated!

    Hi lastminutevp,
    Thank you so much for the screenshot. please create a new sequence by making a right click on the Video and select "New Sequence from clip" option.
    Check the playback in the new Sequence. If it works copy the complete timeline to the new sequence.
    Thank you.

  • Canon spanned clips - problem with Premiere CC 2014 v 8.1 (and NOT in CC v 7.2.2)

    Hello,
    I have a spanned XF100 clip (3 clips total 13:50).
    I have the whole directory content (XML,...) of the CF card.
    I use the Media Browser of Adobe Premiere to import the videostreams.
    Everything worked fine with Premiere CC v 7.2.2
    I needed to upgrade to Premiere CC 2014 v 8.2 as the new Speedgrade didnt work with the old version of Premiere.
    Suddenly the spanned clip does not playback smoothly. In fact, if I place the timer to a specific point, it takes up to 60 sec until the picture changes in the "Programm window" and doesnt playback at all. Only the sounds works, but the video is only a still picture.
    This only happens with the spanned clip. All the other "single" clips are working fine.
    I do exactly the same thing in CC and CC2014. In CC it works perfectly and in CC2014 it does not.
    Any idea?
    Does CC2014 interpret the spanned clips differently?
    thanks for your help!
    Manfred

    I have a similar issue with XF305 spanned clips in a sequence mixed with 5dMarkIII and old SD DV footage running very slowly intermittently on 8.1. I had worked case 186016889 this weekend for this issue and the engineer renamed the following folders to _old and PR recreated them. I'm running on Win 7 Pro latest SP, i7 920, 48 GB RAM and Nvidia GTX 480.
    %appdata%\Adobe\Premiere Pro to %appdata%\Adobe\Premiere Pro 
    Libraries\Documents\Adobe to Libraries\Documents\Adobe
    This seemed to help for a while, but the nature of the slowdown has been from a few minutes to many hours. I did finally notice that I had up to three orphaned PR processes that were still doing I/O. Things get better now for a while after I kill the processes. I've seen other issues with the new version where edit audio in Audition doesn't refresh the waveform after an Audition save and removed and reinstalled PR last night because the edit audition of the next clip overwrote that audio with the previous clips file.
    So I have a fresh/clean install and it's still intermittently leaving orphaned processes and running slow. I think I can get it to happen consistently when I send the audio to Audition, but I'm doing an export now so I can go back to the previous version. I'll do a quick test to see if it's consistent before I downgrade so I can re-due the  last three days work.

  • Premiere Pro 2014 is crashing and freezing and I have to use force quit to get it to shut down.

    Premiere Pro 2014 is crashing every day. i am running Premiere Pro 2014 on a 2013 imac with 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16  GB RAM. Playback on premiere continually freezes and the program crashes. Or the playback will start to freeze and then I save and close the project file/program, but the program will not close and I have to force quit. This is extremely frustrating. Premiere Pro CC was super stable and I rarely if ever had a problem. I have changed my permissions to give myself read/write. I have created a new project file in 2014 and then imported all my sequences from my updated project file but none of these strategies have worked. I am considering creating a new project file and going back to working solely in CC because I am on a deadline and troubleshooting this issue is taking up so much time.

    I have had to force quit PP CC four times today. The fourth was when it crashed while trying to reopen it. I have had exactly the same problems as described above. I have no solutions to offer. I will go through a week of constant Premiere Pro bugs and poor performance then experience a period that seems too good to be true only to end up having a day like today. I can't believe that they call this a professional editing suite. It just wastes so much of my time pissing around trying to fix things and managing all the extra render and preview files it makes each time I have to save a new copy of a project which usually results in renaming it. It gets confusing after a while. Really not happy with this and have begun to learn Avid so as soon as this project is done, PP will be history.
