Premiere CC Multicam Project Freezing

Recently started encountering errors with Premiere freezing after adding multicam sequences to the project. For a couple hours it was working great, and being very responsive (working the way it should). Then out of nowhere it froze on me, and the playhead would not respond, of course then "not-responding" popped up and was only able to close by force quitting in the windows task manager.
For trouble shooting I then did the following things
- restarted system
- open other projects without multicam and verified they worked normally
- checked for updated graphics drivers
- ran windows disk check on the drive the media is on, even though other projects on the same drive work fine
- tried to work on other parts of the project where no multicam was. This had the project being super laggy and not playing footage until minutes after pressing play, then of course freezing after a couple more minutes.
- Opening Premier while pressing alt
Premiere Pro CC version 7.2.2 (33)
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Intel i7 X990 @ 3.47GHz
24GB RAM
PNY Quadro 4000 GPU
If I need to add any other info please advise and thanks for any input.

No it was not. Thanks though
I did find what caused the problem. I put the stock Multiband Compressor plug-in onto the master audio track in the sequence containing all the raw video. This way no matter what part of the multicam nest I was cutting from (they are interviews) the plug-in would be applied globally. I guess Premiere does not like this one bit. So now I have to do it the long way and go clip to clip though the whole project.
Does anyone know if there is another workaround for this? I am going to submit the issue as well in hopes for a bug fix.
Thanks

  • Adobe Premiere Keeps on Crashing/Freezing

    When I'm editing in Adobe Premiere using:
    iMac, 27-inch, late 2013
    OS 10.8.5
    3.5Ghz Intel i7
    8 GB 1600 MHZ DDR3
    NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 780M 4096MB
    I encounter the following issues:
    I open up Premiere, Render my project - it freezes and crashes.  A hard reboot is the only solution.
    I will also encounter the spinning wheel of death/computer freezes while I'm editing a project.
    I barely have anything open.
    What can be the cause of this?  It's delaying my workload and causing huge issues with distribution.
    Thank You.

    Uninstall Reader 9.4 and try the latest Adobe Reader X (10.0).

  • Premiere Pro CC project takes 1 hour to open !

    Hi everybody,
    After a Premiere Pro CC 7.1 crash, I tried to reopen my last project and the loading of this project took 1 hour to reopen normally. The yellow loading progression bar is freezing approximatively at 30 % of full load. 1 hour later, my project is open without any problems. If i save the project again, quit Premiere and reopen my project, it loads in a few seconds...
    I tried many things before waiting the hour :
    Kill Premiere during the load, reopen a backup of my project : same problem > load is very long and seems to be frozen
    Shutdown computer and restart then reload the project : same problem > load is very long and seems to be frozen
    Open the crashed project in another computer (Mac) without the media attached : same problem > load is very long and seems to be frozen
    Delete all the media cache folder and empy trash.
    This happend several times on a big project (lots of media, multi cameras) usually after many CTRL-Z action that are (I think...) too fast.
    My footage are clean and on a Raid 0 disk
    It's not really dramatic but when it happens when a director is arround me, and we spend 1 hour to wait for a simple project load... that's really not cool :-/
    Anyone got an idea ?
    My configuration : Windows 8.1, Premiere Pro CC 7.1, 32 GB Ram, Bi Intel Xeon E5-2630 2.3 GHz
    Thanks !
    noar
    PS : I happened for the first time a few days ago. I've posted this thread : http://forums.adobe.com/message/5838103#5838103
    Since, it happend 3 times in two days...

    Please tell us, what type of footage you are using ?
    Quicktime H264 from Canon 5D Mark III, few Go Pro clips (5 ou 6 in 2 hours) and some AVCHD clips (drone shots)
    What are the effects you have applied ?
    None except size and position of one camera to make a pip and see my both cam during my prework
    what is the duration of the project ?
    1 "long" timeline with a 2 hours length
    Are you using any third party plugins e.g. Magic bullets ?
    no
    Any 3rd party hardware e.g. blackmagic ?
    no. Only one graphic card (Geforce 680, 4 GB) with 3 displays attached
    You can try one thing, try to import whole project in After Effects, then export that as as new premiere pro project..
    When I import the project in After Effects, same thing : the load is very long ! ...
    one more thing you can try, open the project inthe premiere pro and export as FCP XML.
    Now open a new premiere pro blank project, import FCP xml file in the premiere pro.
    I can't do that when it bugs because to export as FCP XML, I have to load the original project... and that's the problem ! I tried to unzip the PRPROJ file (that's a Gzip file...) and parse de XML in it with and xml validator. Everything seems to be ok in my project. So I think the problem comes from the medias or the database ? ... But that's completely weird that when I try to open it on another computer (without the medias, with another database) I've got the exact same problem... So It's really the project that is corrupted.
    Next time it will bug (sure it will...) this is what I'll do :
    Copy my crashed project on desktop and keep it. After 1 hour of opening, I'll save the project with a new name and compare de 2 file size. Just to confirm that my crashed project and my good project are different. If they have the same size, maybe It's more Premiere than the project itself. If they are different, I'll compare them to see what changed between the crashed and the good one.
    Writing in this forum I'm thinking about a new lead : Since PRPRO CC, the prproj files are gzip files (that's why the file size are so small compared to old version). So when PRPRO crash, maybe it corrupt the gzip compression of the project ? That's weird because a software like winrar can unzip the crashed project a reveal the xml file in it. So I'll try to extract the XML file in the crashed project and re-gzip it and rename it .prproj ?
    Feel free to write some ideas or tests that could help me to understand this bug and how to resolve or quickly repair the damaged caused...
    Hope these will work for you , crossing my fingers
    Hope to. 3 crash with the director behind me that's not really cool when you're a freelance with your own machine...
    THANKS EVERYBODY FOR YOUR PRECIOUS HELP AND THE TIME YOU SPEND TO READ MY PROBLEMS !!

  • Has anyone else had a problem with playback right after placing a cut in a multicam project?

    I am working on 4 multicam projects concurrently. 2 sets of same shows but different performances. One program is funtioning just fine, the second studders (pauses) for 8 to 10 seconds after each edit, then jumps ahead to where the play head should be. It really slows the process down. I keep trying diffetent things, like proxy, original media, etc. but it dosent seem to help. I am nearing the end and don't particully want to start all over, but that may be the only solution.

    Also, Keeping an eye on the processors via activity monitor, I noticed that every time I select an edit in the multicam clip all but one processor stops funtioning and that one runs up to 100%. This only hapens while editing this one particular project. All other projects work fine. The stall lasts about 10 seconds but only the video freezes, the audio continues to play on.
    Any sugestions, or ideas of things to try. Open to anything.

  • Blackmagic mini monitor/Premiere CC Multicam

    Hi,
    I am using premiere CC with a multicam project. I've used premiere before on smaller projects and tried the new CC with a bigger project. Nine Cameras all ex3. loved the fact that I didnt have to transcode but now I am regretting it.
    So I am using a blackmagic mini monitor which is fine in composite mode. But when I switch to multicamera mode the monitor freaks out and loses sync/picture and if I switch back to the composite mode it finds itself again. to tell you the truth I found cs6 far more stable than CC. Why can't I get multicam playback on the black magic card? tested the same situation in Final Cut and it was fine so its not the card. Is there something I need to click/turn on or off or something to get playback?
    It also freaks out and if i double click the multicam sequence to see the sequence in the source monitor.

    I haven't seen or heard yet of this issue. I can output from the Multi-Camera monitor without issue from my Decklink HD Extreme 3D and Decklink 4K. I'll try to test on my UltraStudio 3D as well.
    When you say the 'monitor freaks out' what does it do exactly?
    Can you provide your system specs and also your monitor model number. Lastly can you include your frame rate and resolution of your media.
    Thanks!

  • Premiere Elements 9 Project Media View List & Icon Icons Gone

    Today at another forum that I frequent, a Premiere Elements 9 user was distressed because he could not find the List (Ctrl + Page Up) & Icon (Ctrl _ Page Down) icons that were found in the prior version of the Project Media View. The Icon view was particularly useful for sorting media before dragging to the Timeline or for the Create Slideshow feature. Now in Premiere Elements 9, all you have are your media in a list format with no option to sort.
    This person simultaneously posted his question at another forum for which he received a reply and a workaround  which included going into the Elements Organizer/Create/SlideShow Editor and create a slideshow that could be outputted (Edit in Premiere Elements) back into Premiere Elements 9. I would take issue with that suggested approach since I believe that there is an easier and quicker workaround to overcome the inconvenient loss of those features in Premiere Elements 9 Project Media View.
    First, the questions and then my workaround for this situation
    Does anyone know if Adobe is aware of this situation and intends to correct this oversight or intentional change in features?
    Has anyone come up with his/her favorite workaround for this matter?
    Bottom Line for my workaround: From Premiere Elements 9 workspace, go to Elements Organizer workspace and create a sorted album of the media brought into Premiere Elements 9 Get Media/Files & Folders. Then exist Elements Organizer, opening to Premiere Elements workspace where one uses Filter by: Select Album and does just that.
    I will post a step by step on my suggested workaround if requested.

    SG
    I was trying to be discreet and have us still remain friends, so I did not mention the responder at the other forum by name or place. You let the cat out of the bag. OK, no offense taken please, but I thought that your workaround "Elements Organizer/Create/Slideshow/Edit With Premiere Elements" was "not so good" a choice. I will owe up to that.
    None of the workarounds are as good as the Adobe Icon View of prior version, but....
    Workaround 1. If your interest is getting sorted photos for using the Create Slideshow Feature in Project Media View. The secret is to put the photos in a Folder and then move the photos around in the Folder. I can go into the choreography on that if need be. Then highlight all the photos in the Folder, select Create Slideshow. Even if you do not go the Create Slideshow route, this is one way to get sorted photos for the Timeline.
    Workaround 2. If the Create Slideshow feature is not involved. Going the create Album route in Elements Organizer.
    Premiere Elements 9 Get Media/Files and Folders
    Add Media Dialog
    Select photos, Click Open
    Select Organizer in the row above the line of Organize/Edit/Disc Menus/Share to open the Elements Organizer.
    In the Elements Organizer, go to the Albums category and expand that category, then click on the green cross, and select New Album. On that right side of the Elements Organizer you will see a window with two tabs, Content and Sharing. Select Content and drag your media from the major window on the left to the Content window on the right. Name the album and click Done.
    You will then see your Album name listed in the Album’s category. Click the green icon to the left of the Album name. When you do, you will see thumbnails for your photos numbered sequentially in the major window on the left side of the Elements Organizer. Sort the photos there as you want them arranged on the Timeline.Then exit Elements Organizer via File Menu/Exit.
    The Premiere Elements Organize workspace will open. Go to the Filter by: Select Album and do just that, selecting the sorted album that you just created. Highlight the photos  and drag them to the Timeline.
    That is what I have come up with so far. I have been doing a lot of retesting of the principle to make sure that it would work more than just the first time.
    What do you think? Contribution or first class dud??
    ATR
    Just another possible variation on the thought with regard to Create Slideshow....it might merit thinking about numerically or alphabetically ordering your photos in a Folder beforehand and then bringing the Folder into Premiere Elements so that you have the Folder in Project Media View...Select All...Right Click Highlight....Create Slideshow?????

  • Premiere Elements 8 Project Won't Open. Please Help.

    Hello,
    I was working on a Premiere Elements 8 project for my video class last night (HDV, 1080i 30p) and the program stopped responding as I was importing a clip. I was prompted to wait for response or close the program. I closed the program and when I tried to re-open my project, the loading dialog box reaches 100% and then does nothing.  I let it sit for over 30 minutes and nothing changed.  When I clicked cancel after 30 minutes, I was prompted with the same "program is not responding" box.  Other projects open fine, but this one simply will not.  After reading through the forums, I disabled McAfee and updated Quicktime, but I am still having the same problem. I have 6 GB of free RAM and I am using footage shot on my DSLR. Any help or advice will be greatly appreciated as the project is due this week.
    Thanks,
    Jake

    OK, there is possibly a problem with one (or more) Assets.
    This next step might be easy, or not, depending on how you have your Assets arranged on your computer.
    The easiest is if one has the Assets, or Copies of them, in sub-folders below the Project's hierarchy. See this article for an example: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4028199#4028199
    I would Move the Assets from their location, so that PrE cannot initially find them, and attempt to load their links. Then, launch PrE, and Open that Project (since the AutoSaves do not work better, just go with the original Project here). You should get the dialog, "Where is file ____ ?" See this article for more details and tips: http://forums.adobe.com/message/4598705#4598705.
    If one has many types of Assets, such as Still Images, AVI's, MOV's, etc., it would be easier if one Moved each Asset type to a new, and separate sub-folder, for this next step.
    At "Where is file ____ ?" navigate to where you Moved that requested file. See if it loads. Per the above article, you will see that PrE will then survey that folder, the one that you just navigated to, and try to load each missing Asset IN that folder, and re-link to them. If all goes well, then you should get that same dialog messege for the next Asset type. Repeat. Do this until you get the hang on an Asset. At that point, DO NOT Save the Project. Instead, Save_As and increment the name. That is IMPORTANT.
    Then, Move that faulting Asset elsewhere, and test Opening the Save_As Project. If all works fine, then you know that there is a problem with THAT Asset. You should study it carefully, to see what the problem is. If it plays fine elsewhere, and is not different, than other good Assets, then try Importing it again, into that Save_As Project.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premiere Elements 12 Project settings

    Does Premiere Elements 12 support 1080p video and 5.1 sound in the same project? From what I can see in the project settings I can have 1080p with stereo or 1080i with 5.1.

    VRB817964
    Unfortunately I have no access to a Mac computer and have never worked with one.
    But, there are several basic ingredients to this
    a. Premiere Elements' New Project Dialog's List of Available Project Presets
    and
    b. The .sqpreset file of an existing project preset
    If the Adobe .sqpreset files are the same independent of computer operating systems Windows vs Mac and their location is the only difference, this approach should be applicable for the Mac user.
    To put this thought to the test, can you find the following files on your Mac computer, named as
    PAL AVCHD 1080p50.sqpreset file
    or
    NTSC AVCHD 1080p60.sqpreset file
    Can you find the lines in each's Notepad document that needs to be edited according to the blog post with its Premiere Elements Windows base?
    If so, then the hoped for outcome would be to edit them as per the blog post instructions and then put the edited ones into the location where the unedited ones are found.
    To much to hope for, but worth a try. One of my goals for 2014 is to get a Mac computer.
    We will be watching for further developments.
    Thanks.

  • How to render or output a multicamera project

    I am thankful for the previous help and now I have the multicamera project almost done.  I used multicamera window and went through 1 hour of film shot from two cameras.  It went into sequence 002 and then I put video transitions between each clip. It plays fine in the project window.  I don't know what to do next.  I tried export - media and that brought up a window with a preview and output preview and choices of dvd. I left it on ntsc dvd and click export it put a 1 meg file on the computer, project file or something.  It takes about a second to do that. I tried rendering workspace and rendering time line and that takes way longer but results in 130 separate files on the hard drive.  I don't know what to do with them.  One time early when I was playing with this with a single video file I had adobe encoder come up, but I can't find that anywhere now.  I don't understand how to get this video with the transitions rendered out to an avi file.  Thanks for helping,  I have a book coming from Amazon on how to use this, not here yet.  I find the adobe pdf help file, not so helpful.  Doug

    What version are you using Doug?
    If CS4, you file>export>media and it opens up the dialog you mention.  Then choose the one you want.  This will in turn launch the Adobe Media Encoder which will actually do the rendering.  Note where the output directory is.  From there, you should be good to go.

  • Premiere Pro CC project won't open on another computer

    Hi, I am working at a Premiere Pro CC project with a collaborators.
    We share and external hard drive with the footage structure, do some edits then pass the hard drive to the other person and so on.
    Recently, after passing the hard drive, my collaborators can no longer open the Premiere Pro project on her computer.
    Does anybody know what the problem is?
    Thanks

    What exactly are the symptoms?  What happens when they try an open the project?

  • Multicam project: rendering timeline disabled multicams in viewer

    i am working on a multicam project and recently rendered my timeline, ever since i did that, i have been unable to view the multicams in the viewer while playing back in the timeline. if i go to a spot in the timeline and pause, i can see all cameras, but once i start playing, i only see the selected camera. i did a test with a new sequence, created a short multicam clip and was able to see all cameras in the viewer. then once i rendered the new test sequence, i could no longer see all cameras. i am making sure that i am selecting "open" instead of "sync off" from the top pulldown of the viewer. finally, i closed out fcp, deleted the newly created render file for my test sequence, reopened the project, of course i got a message that one render file was missing, pressed continue, played back the sequence, and once again i was able to see all cameras. so my question is, is this the fix? delete all of the render files for the project so that i can view all cameras, seems kinda strange this is happening....

    You could just duplicate the sequence and render that for client viewing, keeping your working version unrendered, until you're ready to render.
    Overall, it basically depends on your workflow and what you're doing. Mine has a pretty slim range of workflow steps, so I just duplicate the sequence when I'm ready to move to the next stage. This way I can always go back to an earlier version or stage of the process if needed.
    Also keeps me from filling up harddrive space with unnecessary rendering. I generally do my render once I've got a 'locked cut' in place (collapsed sequence w/color correction, filters, L3rds...etc), then I duplicate that sequence after rendering to add different show opens/closes for different final outputs. The duplicate retains the original render files, so I don't have to keep rendering each final sequence.

  • How do I get a Premiere Elements 11 project to Revel

    In Premiere Elements 11, what format do I save a project to so I can get the video into Revel?

    dwlmgold
    Premiere Elements 11 does not have an export to Adobe Revel in its Publish+Share section as does Premiere Elements 12.
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2013/10/pe12-adobe-revel-add-mediapublishshare.html
    So for Premiere Elements 11, I would be guided by the April 23, 2014 FAQ in the Adobe Revel Forum.
    FAQ: Which file formats does Revel support?
    You could try saving the Timeline to file via
    Publish+Share
    Computer
    AVCHD
    with one of the .mp4 presets
    Then you would upload the file to your account at Adobe Revel.
    For further information about export to file your Premiere Elements 11 Timeline, I would need more information on your Premiere Elements 11 project settings and the properties of your source media. Video uploads to Adobe Revel can be problematic, so you might want to post your Adobe Revel uploading type issues in the Adobe Revel Forum. We, here in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum, can help you with your Premiere Elements 11 export to file settings for that project.
    Revel
    We look forward to further details to assist you in your project.

  • How to work on a portion of a larger Premiere Pro CS6 project on another computer?

    I have a very large Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 project that I'm working on at home. While I'm gone for the holidays, I'd like to take a small portion of that project (whole project is 6tb and too large to take, so I'll take 1tb of it), work on it, and then return and reintergrate it into the larger project. Is there a way to do that?
    Thanks,
    Lucian

    Mark,
    I migrate Projects with external FW-800's all of the time. To ease working on those Projects, I locate all of my Scratch Disk, Same as Project, and everytihng is always there, and ready for use. I do give up a bit of ultimate performance with this configuration, but never have any issues.
    One thing that I do for each external is to assign the same, unique drive letter to it in the OS of each computer. Have you done this? Does your RAID box come up with the same drive letter in each computer - always?
    Good luck, and with migration between computers, you might want to relocate the Scratch Disks. Please let us know if that helps.

  • Premiere Multiple Multicam Interview Workflow?

    I have just finished shooting 10 interviews, with 3 cameras each. The interviews will be the main components in 2 seperate pieces with differing lengths and slant.
    I want to be able to assemble my footage in the smartest way in order to edit efficiently.
    Do I figure out which clips I want, cut them out into their own individual timelines then multicam that as best I can and reassemble the footage into the main piece?
    Will I then still be able to make signifiant changes to the multicamed pieces if they've been moved to another timeline?
    I had considered taking the A camera footage, editing that to where I want it for spoken content, then dropping in the other camera clips (also edited like the A footage) and multicaming from there.
    One huge problem I wrestle with is that I am only editing and my producers could decide to make major changes both in content and mood based on the amount of milk in their coffee each morning. So, of course, I want as much flexibility as possible.
    I feel like I'm asking for the moon. But I guess if I could just get an idea of how people normally assemble their multicam projects that would be helpful.
    Thanks in advance.
    Also, should I be color correcting beforehand or when all the footage is together on a final timeline and I can see it all compared to one another?
    Message was edited by: burntpepperoni

    Do your multicam editing first on the whole clips.  You can always pick and chose from that the parts you want to keep.
    Do your audio sweetening.
    Do your color correcting last.
