Premiere CS6 up to its old tactics

It's been a while gents. Anyway, Premiere CS6 seemed to have adopted it's old habit of constantly crashing- but this time only on exports. I've exported a plethora of material and formats, and nearly every time it hangs during encoding (with error message)- whither direct export or AME. This is being encoded on a ADK machine (GTX670 card). I reset my prefs to no avail.
Here are the latest error messages from the event log:

What should be done? Seeing the reference to cuda, is the GeForce to blame?

You have a problem with your Nvidia graphics card. (Faulting module name: nvcuda.dll)
The Adobe Mercury Playback Engine can massively speedup rendering in GPU (CUDA) mode.
BUT: You need a stable GPU configuration for that.
Adobe has certified some graphics cards for the MPE but the GTX 670 isn't one of them.
I have too a GTX 670 running fine - so it can work.
--> If you want to be on the save route install a Adobe certified graphics card.
--> If you want to use your existing NOT CERTIFIED GTX 670 card you have to check your config - card manufacturer - something is crashing Premiere in GPU mode currently...

P2/MXF Footage in Premiere Pro CS6 constantly losing its linkage.

P2/MXF Footage in CS6 constantly losing its linkage. I'll relink the clips as the 'locate footage' box pops up, then a couple of minutes later, all the clips in the bin are showing the question mark and asking me to locate the clips again. It does this over and over. This happens on both my desktop machine and on my laptop.
Not having this problem with any of the file types at this point.

Just saw an official reply on another similar question asked at the same time as mine and that Adobe is aware of it and it's being worked on.
Thanks.

How to open Premiere CS6 files with Premiere CS5.5

Hi, I've ran into a problem I recently got the Premiere CS6 trial and had done some projects on it that I started in CS5.5, but now the trial expired and many of my projects are stuck as CS6 files. Luckly I was able to put the trial on one of my older computers so i can still access the files for now but its extremely slow and the rendering takes forever so I dont want to render out any projects on that.
I know that Premiere is not backwards compatible but is there anyway to export the file or convert it to a CS5.5 file? I need to export the project by tommorrow and my old computer wont have it done by then. I will be buying CS6 in a couple weeks here but right now I cannot afford to. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the original project files from CS5.5. You had to enter a new file name for CS6, so using the CS5.5 names will solve it under CS5.5. It will not solve the editing you did, that is lost (unless you dare to modify the XML files).

Considering dumping my iMac for a PC used for DSLR video editing on Premiere CS6. Help!

So I edit mostly 1080p DSLR footage taken from my canon T3i camera. I purchased a 2011 (the latest model) iMac a little over a year ago, upgraded the RAM to 12GB and it has worked reasonably well. I purchased the base model for $1200 which has a quad core i5 processor, 512mb of video ram, and a measly 500gb hard drive. The past couple of days I have come to the realization that I only use Adobe Programs for graphically intensive work (premiere, after effects, etc). I originally bought my iMac for final cut, but FCPX SUCKS and I switched to Premiere CS6 which works like a dream. Anyways, I'm a senior in high school and do lots of video editing (going to major in video production in college). I'm likely going to differ college for a year and continue my video production business (pretty informal) as well as video production internships at a couple companies (so don't suggest that I get a laptop for portability, not an issue). I just shot an entire wedding with 2 DSLR's and the footage takes up over 20% of my hard drive which is unacceptable. This is very troublesome for me and has been clogging up my computer considerably. I have realized it would make a lot of sense to sell my iMac and purchase a PC that's not only faster, but has much more space. I was ideally looking to sell my iMac for $1000, and from that get a better and faster PC setup for my video editing. $200 would be allocated for a 24" 1080p LED 5ms Asus monitor (from newegg) which would leave $800 remaining for the PC. Ideally it'd be nice to have a little cash left over. Some things that sound appealing to me are: an intel i7 quad core proccessor at least 3.0+ Ghz, 16 GB of ram (maybe 8 to start), 1 GB of video RAM (here is where I'm stuck, my Imac had a Radeon 512mb video card in it, but I've heard premiere runs especially well with nVidia CUDA cards? Don't really know too much about this stuff.) I have no idea what type of card to get, and if I would even see a performance upgrade from my iMac. For storage I'd like at least 2TB of space, should I get two seperate 1 TB drives? One for boot and software and another for video files? Anyways, I assume I can benefit from selling my 2011 i5 iMac to get a faster PC equivalent at a lower price since I mainly edit videos (which is pretty graphically intense) from an HD DSLR camera. I've noticed premiere rendering times on my mac are starting to get pretty slow these days. Ideally it'd be nice to buy a desktop (already assembled) maybe from HP for around $600 (not including the monitor). I'm not completely against building a PC from parts (since I know a friend who can do it for me) I just need help figuring out WHAT exactly it is that I need and would benefit from.

I am trying to get better playback rendering speed Premiere CS6

I am new to Adobe Premiere CS6. I am trying to get faster playback rendering speed from my machine.
Windows 7
i7 4790K Haswell overclocked to 4.5 (watercooled with Corsair)
16 GB DDR3@799MHz
Asus Z87-WS (4 double graphic card slots)
Geforce GTX 760 (Primary) GPU hardware acceleration enabled
Quadro FX5800
250GB Samsung solid state C: (Windows and Adobe)
250GB Crucial solid state (Scratch)
2TB Seagate 7200RPM (video files)
3TB Seagate 7200RPM (storage)
Seasonic 1000watt PSU
I am primarily editing GoPro videos with effects like TimeWarp or Twixtor and color correction.
I have tried to run the PPBM6 program with no success. I kept getting failure to access files.
I have been looking at adding a second GTX760 with SLI so they will work together. And possible removing the Quadro if it is slowing things down.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

...are you SURE your 760 GPU is "enabled" by PPro, and giving you the option of "Mercury Playback Acceleration" under "General Preferences" ??? If the "Mercury Acceleration" is GREYED OUT and limits you to "software Only", go to Studio 1 website and learn to apply the well known "hack" to enable your 760 in PPro,OR, download their simple program to do it for you.
...Your machine is POWERFUL....especially with your CPU overclock......you MAY want to increase your memory to 32 GB if you are using After Effects....even PPro MAY run better with 32 GB, depending on your workflow.....most systems like yours have at LEAST 32GB system memory.
.....The GoPro codec is natively HIGHLY COMPRESSED and difficult to process, even for beefy machines. That is why they provide the free Cineform tool,( which used to be an expensive professional editing codec), to convert some,or,all of your footage to a more "edit friendly" AVI codec, which will FLY on your machine. HOWEVER, those new AVI files are HUGE.....TRIPLE the original size and requiring a LARGE and FAST disk transfer system. Right now, your single 7200 drive for your media is your SLOWEST component in the chain. The CHEAPEST improvement for you would be to add another MATCHING 2TB 7,200 rpm drive to your existing one and then use the 2 drives to create a fast RAID 0 directly off the mother board to improve the speed of your "media drive". THEN, you MUST insure that this RAID 0 is DILIGENTLY BACKED UP in case of a drive failure in the RAID. This ALSO means you must protect against an unexpected power failure which could destroy the RAID data if the failure happened during a critical write operation.....so,a good UPS is required.
You can OBSERVE how the various components in your system are performing while performing strenuous tasks by bringing up the "task manager" window and watching the CPU load.... if all cores are PEGGED at near 100%, you are "CPU bound". As you are ALREADY overclocked, you can't do anything other than to TRANSCODE your footage to the free Cineform. Your ENABLED GPU can be observed....real time....using the free MSI Afterburner,( or, similar). Certain operations are accelerated by the GPU with PPro....not ALL!! Scaling and some effects will use use the "Mercury Acceleration" while rendering previews AND during export.In some cases, rendering previews,or, exporting can be sped up by TEN TIMES by Mercury Acceleration. Watch the "GPU Usage" on Afterburner to see if the GPU is indeed being used, and if you are "saturating" it to its capacity of 100% with accelerated effects.
Make sure your Windows is fully updated to the current time........make sure your NVidia 760 has the most recent driver and DON'T use the Quadro for now. Set your "Windows page file" to be STATIC on your "C" drive at 24GB. Disable "Hibernation" Set all drives NOT to allow "indexing". Do NOT allow any spinning HDD to be over 50% filled....performance WILL decrease.....make sure any HDD is defragged,( do NOT defrag an SSD ! ). Stop all unnecessary processes, esp. anti-virus programs, while editing. Find out how to best "tune" windows to speed it up at the PPBM 6 and 7 websites.
BE AWARE that the "run of the mill" SSDs use cheaper Sandforce controllers, and are less suited to handle highly compressed digital video files. Samsung PRO models and recent Crucial M550 series SSDs ONLY are recommended for video use. Both these non-Sandforce SSDs maintain high WRITE speeds,( over 400MB/sec), AND maintain their high speeds after reaching their "steady state" condition. Cheaper EVO series and non-Marvell controlled SSDs MAY lose their fast write speeds over time and SLOW YOU WAY DOWN !!! Test your current SSDs by transferring large video files between them and watching MB per second that appears under "details" in the pop up window during transfer. Make sure none are slow.....test them with HD Tune Pro as well.
Certain non-Adobe plug-ins and certain effects may NOT use all the CPU threads well,or, may not use the GPU.....forcing the CPU to do additional work. You will have to identify problem plug-ins,or, effects by switching them on and off to see if any cripple your system.
Your machine is POWERFUL.....go to PPBM7 website and read the "tweakers" page to learn more....then, register for free and TEST your machine with their video benchmark test for PPro. It should do WELL.....AND it will help identify if you have any "bottlenecks" which are impairing your system.
Good Luck !!!!!.....THEN, start using CC 2014.....like Patton said : "...all glory is FLEETING !!"......so is the lifespan of former PPro versions !!!!!!

Premiere CS6 Still Has a Long Way To Go

I'm in commercial editing and work as offline editor, assistant editor and compositor. I've been using Premiere Pro ever since FCPX came out, but not in the workplace as an offline tool because of certain major missing features:
- a good EDL exporter (absolutely essential in a commercial pipeline where we're bouncing sequences to grading suites and Flame all the time)
- dupe detection (essential for prepping sequences for grading)
- timecode overlays in the monitors
- colored markers
- marker overlays (to quickly see what the content of a marker is when scrubbing in the timeline)
- searchable markers (great when needing to find one line you know you had marked)
- a visual keyboard settings editor (FCP and Avid got it right, Premiere is a mess, although improved from CS5 which didn't have the ability to search for commands)
- the ability to rename clips to match file names (can't tell you how many times I use this in FCP)
- use of CMD X, C and V for cutting, copying and pasting marked selections in the timeline without adding in/out points
- match frame edit indicators
- heal match frame edit function
- timeline to timeline editing. Not expecting what Avid offers, which is enhanced by the ability to toggle your timeline between source and record, but to be able to do what FCP7 does by letting you edit with clip data, i.e. edit your track layout and edit points from a sequence in the viewer into the timeline.
I'm super disappointed that not a single one of the above features has been addressed in Premiere Pro CS6. I think the dupe detection, timecode overlays, and EDL export are the biggest disappointments.
For a little clarity on the EDL issue, every editor and assistant I know renames clips after they're imported into the project. They don't use the "Scene" and "Take" metadata tags, because they want the clip name on the far left of the project window. This isn't so much of an issue in Avid, but that software is on a different level. Anyways, in Premiere, once you rename a clip, that's the way the clip name is going to come out out in the EDL. This is a massive problem for Alexa and RED jobs, which is most of what I work with, because timecode isn't going to be unique to a clip on a multi-day, multi-cam shoot. In FCP7, you have the option to export your EDL with either clip or file names. Alternatively, you can select all the clips from your edit and choose "Rename Clip to Match File Name." Premiere has none of these options. The only workaround is to go through every clip in your edit, reveal in project, bring up the properties, copy the file name that's there, then paste into the clip name. This is not a workable solution for a 60 second commercial with an edit every 12-48 frames.
While Speedgrade is lovely, no one is going to convince Company 3, The Mill, MPC, Light Iron, or New Hat to switch from Resolve, Scratch, Baselight or Pablo. And to get stuff into those systems, EDLs are still the preferred method when you talk to the assistants who are loading the projects.
On the good side, it's great to see improved playback stability and scrubbing, the new audio meters are great, adjustment layers are a big help, the marker tab in the project pane has a lot of potential (why not make it searchable?), and the new trim tool is GREAT and right on par with Avid.
With the exception of the playback control, though, I would trade all of the above improvements to have the hit list above taken care of. Adobe seems to have added some very good big picture, high profile improvements. It's the little things that you encounter every day in a long edit that really need some attention now. PLEASE give a look to this stuff.
I had really hoped I'd be able to use PP CS6 as an offline tool in my pipeline, but that's not going to happen. Nor do I know any editors or assistants in commercial post in LA who will want to work without the above features.
If anyone has some insights into the above features and maybe making these things work in CS6 as currently released, I'm open to hearing them and hopeful that there are workarounds.
Thanks and have a blessed day!

The command copy, cut paste don't work unless you add edits to create a
discreet clip. You can't simply copy from an in to an out point. The
workaround is to add your markers, use lift or extract, undo to clear the
damage you just did to your sequence, then paste the clipboard contents
that you still have from the lift or extract operation.
Regarding Speedgrade, it appears to be in its infancy and has a promising
future, but what you get for free from Davinci Resolve Lite is wildly
awesome. It does everything the $1000 version of DaVinci does except
stereoscopic color, network rendering, shared projects, and shared memories
between projects (i.e. power mastering). So, for free, you have a blazing
fast color grade suite with the identical toolset actively in use by
Company 3 and The Mill. Add a panel or two and you're really rockin and
rolling. We use it at the shop I'm freelancing at now and it can burn
through dailies transcodes (still essential for Red and Alexa), at about
40fps. Awesome.
I think choosing between Avid MC and Premiere is strictly a "what do you
need it for" question. The main problem with Avid is now and always has
been the hard import aspect. AMA works kinda ok, but I know no one who
starts and finishes a project strictly with AMA. Plus it doesn't work on
an average laptop without a lot of herky jerky playback, even at 10:1, and
at some point on a long edit, you're likely going to be working off a
laptop.
The ability of Premiere to ingest ANYTHING immediately, including DPX
sequences, is phenomenal. If you don't want to wait for AJA, Blackmagic
has some excellent and more affordable video I/O solutions that work with
CS6 right now. The playback is so much better than CS5.5. I think the
reason why it was a problem before was because it's trying to play nice
with anything as it is. FCP needed everything to be a quicktime. Avid
needs everything to be MXF. Premiere says "come one come all!" and that's
a tall, tall order. Now it's working great and the Adobe folks should be
lauded for whatever engineering magic they used to make this happen. Huge
timesaver, especially in finishing when I need to bounce more complex comp
work to Nuke and back.
The second thing that Premiere kills at is effects work, even though it's
not so much Premiere as it is After Effects. Avid has nothing there close
to this. Animatte? Spectramatte? Give me After Effects any day. So, you
can offline AND online a project with the Premiere and After Effects combo.
Awesome!
The biggest shortcoming Premiere has, I think, is it's audio filter suite.
It's a huge liability and something I hope they devote a lot of attention
to. The way Avid can't match the Premiere/After Effects duo,
Premiere/Soundbooth cannot match what Avid has built in. The Audiosuite
effects seemed to be designed to give you a bit of ProTools within your
NLE.
I think the best solution, at least until Smoke 2013 comes out this fall,
seems to be to choose the app that is best suited for your project. I
don't think the conversation should be about one program wiping out another
one, which it seemed to often be the tone of Avid vs. FCP debates.
The more I play with Premiere CS6, the more I like it. I used 5 and 5.5 on
commercials a few times and felt like the software was getting in the way,
particularly toward the end when I needed to generate EDLs and OMFs (I
haven't tried the OMF export out of Premiere CS6 yet, but it can't be worse
than 5.5 - my guess is it's no better though, based on what did and did not
get improved). It was fine for finishing, but you'd have to work around
playback issues all the time, which got a bit embarrassing with clients in
the room.
I think CS6, for it's numerous shortcomings - none of which are
catastrophic or deal-breakers - provides an excellent foundation on which
to build something that could definitely one day pick where FCP7 left off.
Smoke 2013 is the storm on the horizon, though, if you ask me. But
competition is GREAT and I actually hope Blackmagic joins the game as well.
The more the merrier!

Can no longer download Encore/Premiere CS6 in Download App?

First time posting on Adobe forums, please excuse any missed formalities/info
I can no longer seem to find a way to download Premiere CS6 (and in conjunction Encore CS6) after I updated my Creative Cloud App to Version 1.3.0.322. I had previously used the methoud of clicking on the "More Information" tab within the CC desktop App, getting redirected to the Adobe/Premiere page, then be able to select Premiere CS6 from the drop down under "In This Version."
This method seems to no longer work (I had downloaded CS6 stuff just a few months ago). I really only care about Encore and having a DVD/Blu-ray authoring solution (I would just uninstall Premiere CS 6 using the old method).
Is there any way to download Encore CS6 with the most updated Desktop App running on OSX Mavericks?
My Info
Creative Cloud for Team Accounts
MacPro 5.1, 32 GB RAM, Mavericks 10.9

Hi TroyMercury,
Please try to download Premiere Pro CS6 from the direct link: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html.
Kindly follow the very important instructions before download.

Exporting Animated logo from AE cs6 into Premiere cs6

I have an animated logo that I would like to import into premiere cs6. When I exported it into premiere, it only imported the picture, not the background and animation along with the picture. What can I do export the logo in its entirety?

If your export does not show everything in your composition then you are looking at the wrong view in AE or you have set elements in your composition as guide layers. The only thing exported is the Active Camera view. There are also many ways to bring an AE animation into Premiere Pro. You can add the .aep to PPro and load the comp into the sequence, You can use Dynamic Link from inside the sequence to replace footage, or you can render to any one of about 10,000 different formats for use in PPro, only a very few of which are suitable for a production workflow. You have given us nothing to go on to solve your problem. If checking for guide layers and making sure that you created your comp using the Active camera view does not solve your problem then we need to know everything that is going on in your comp and exactly what your workflow is.

Transitions not working in Premiere CS6.Video was color corrected in AE 6 and sent back to PPro cs6.

I exported my film to AE6 from Premiere CS6 for color-correction and got it back to Premiere Pro through DYNAMIC LINK.Now,the problem is that AE has discarded all the transitions and also cross-dissolve and film-dissolve don't seem to work on this color-corrected video.I am able to apply the transitions but they don't work....somebody please help!

As Jim said, not all effects and transitions are properly translated when you replace a group of clips with dynamically linked AE composition. Actually you should have noticed that your cross-dissolves etc. had been replaced with black solid layers in After Effects, which didn't reflect your PrPro transitions.
Now you can jump back to your AE project and fix broken transitions there.
For your future work you should keep it in mind and decide whether to replace a group of clips (and, therefore, fix broken transitions in After Effects) or a single clip, taking care of its handles.

Premiere cs6 does not see correct images in media browser

Hi Folks,
I'm working on a project in CS6 Premiere (On an iMac with Mavericks running) and I cannot get the Media Browser to correctly see/import the still images (JPGs) I want to use. Instead, it sees all 8 images as the same image, though with different file names. I've reopened Premiere a few times, closed and opened Bridge a few times, renamed the files (Premiere still sees the original file names). Is it a matter of clearing the cache? If so, can someone explain that process?
Thanks for your help!

Thanks Ann,
I tried that but Premiere is still seeing its original view of the images (all thumbnails are the same) - the newly saved image doesn't even show up in the Media Browser.

Canon XF Import Causes Premiere CS6 to Crash. Help!

I purchased a Canon XF300 to work specifically with Premiere CS6 as Adobe claims native support for MXF files.
Unfortunately, whenever I import footage from the XF300 into Premiere, it causes Premiere to crash.
This happens no matter what method I use to import the files... using XF Ultility, using Prelude, clicking on import in the Premiere CS6 media browser, opening the files in the media browser and dragging and dropping into a bin. It doesn't matter. The crash still happens.
This is not an issue with spanned clips as it happens even without spanned clips.
After importing the clips into a bin, the bin has trouble drawing thumbnails for all the clips, usually but not always the ones not initially visible in the bin window. The thumbnails don't appear, just gray boxes. Scrolling down and clicking on the gray boxes, even after waiting several minutes for the system to "catch up," causes a crash.
This is a repeatable problem that *only* happens when using Canon MXF footage. Every other codec I've tried works just fine. The Canon footage never works.
I am on a Mid-2012 Mac Pro 2x 3.06 GHz 6-Core Inten Xeon computer running 64GB of Ram on OSX 10.8.3, using Premiere 6.0.2 Creative Cloud. I use a Matrox MX02 for I/O and a NVIDIA Quadro 4000 with CUDA Driver 5.0.59.
I've troubleshot this problem to death, stripping everything from the machine down to its original factory state (no extra RAM, no NVIDIA card, no Matrox I/O etc.) and the system still crashes every single time I try to import the MXF footage, no matter what method I use. The only workaround is to transcode to ProRes and that's not acceptable.
Am I the only one having this issue? Is there something glaringly obvious I'm overlooking? Thanks in advance for any assistance or perspective. I am growing increasingly frustrated as I feel Adobe has a software problem here they're not addressing.

That's the thing. The system drive has plenty of space... 762Gb out of 1TB available. All the HDs have a ton of space on them. This has happened since Day 1 when the entire system was brand new.
And only with Canon XF files. No other codec produces behavior even remotely similar on my system. It's baffling because everyhting is up to spec as far as I can determine and yet the problem persists.
Limiting the number of clips in a bin is unworkable because of the type of work I'm doing. Transcoding is the only answer at this point but I really would like to know what's causing this.
I really wish Adobe could try to recreate the problem. Does anyone else out there using Mac OSX and CS6 have trouble with XF files? Is it a known issue?

Adobe premiere cs6 suddenly EXTREMELY slow and CPU intensive

Hi everyone,
I'm editing candon 5d mk III footage (h.264 files) on my late 2011 MacBook pro. Here are the specs..
240 gig SanDisk SSD harddrive (190 gigs free)
500 Gig (250 gigs free)
8 gigs ram
2.4 ghz i5 processor
Intel HD graphics 3000 graphics card
I'm a wedding videographer and I am currently closing my last edits of the season. I have edited 20+ 45 minute videos on Adobe Premiere CS6 and have had absolutely no issues at all. I enjoy working on premiere so much that I've been trying to get my videographer friends to give a shot and simplify their workflows.
Upon starting my second to last edit (same process as the other 18 videos I've done this season, organizing the footage within it's respective folder, loading it into premiere with the couples' choice in music and opening 4-5 new sequences based on the events of the day) I noticed that I was having a lot of trouble importing folders into my media bin. I had to import all of the footage unorganized because loading the folders "Preperation, Ceremony, Photos, Reception" with the footage within them would cause premiere to freeze and become unrepsonsive. So, finding no solution I added all the footage in no particular fashion. Just one large unorganized group. Then, while organizing the files into bins, I noticed even the smallest move would take several minutes to complete. Because I was working directly off of my hard drive I figured these kinds of delays would eventually catch up to me, so I moved all of my files to my HDD and decided to work on them there. The project itself continued to be extremely slow and started crashing regularly (especially when applying audio effects). After a few hours, I stopped being able to play 1080p video at all. It would jam and stutter so often it become unuseable. 720p video was the next to go along with my ability to render anything in less than 30 minutes - 1 hour. At last attempt to use premiere I was getting an "Unable to compile movie - Unknown Error" message when trying to render alpha channel things (lower third titles and things of the nature), my ability to change the resolution of the playback had disappeared (Going from full, 1/2 and 1/4 did nothing, it just remained at full quality) and finally doing anything in premiere caused it to use 300% of my CPU (based off of my Activity Monitors metering).
Does anybody have any clue as to what could be happening to my machine/program? I have a yearly subscription to adobe's creative cloud service if that helps. Oh and I've tried moving my media cache's from my HDD to my SDD with little or no results. Don't know if that helps.
Thank you to anyone who helps in advance. What I believe to be clean installs aren't doing anything so I'm hoping somebody can give me a hand.

Sounds to me like specific media is dragging the Mac to a halt. (300%, really Apple? Isn't that like saying that my car can go up to 90mph, but last night I drove it at 300% speed, 270mph)
Some things to trouble shoot:
Do you have any assets in the project that are loaded directly from strange devices, like a SD card or CD audio? Any dynamic link media that may be problematic?
Is there anything that makes this footage different than footage from successful projects?
Can you work successfully with an old project?
Can you successfully start a new project using different or less media?
Is the 500 GB drive internal or external?
One time I was sent out at from work to troubleshoot a system that would freeze up like yours. The guy was an idiot and rude client that demanded that someone from our facility help him fix his own project. He said that he had been troubleshooting for a day, and then had convinced his organization's IT guy that he needed a way over spec new pc to run Premiere.
His system was fine. Within 3 minutes of checking media in his project, I saw that top track of the problem sequence had a video clip that was set to a speed of .01%, and he had the clip stretched for 24hours in the sequence. His project was supposed to be a 2 minute PSA. All his issues went away after removing the idiotic Day Long slow motion clip. He complained to my boss because I had laughed at him.
I relate that story to illustrate that it could be a weird thing with you media or fx, just as well as a hardware or software issue.
Good Luck

I installed Encore by reverting to Premiere CS6, but after Encore loads and a new project is created, it crashes (exits) before I can do anything.

I followed the procedure described on the website of uninstalling Premiere CC, installing Premiere CS6, uninstalling it leaving Encore installed and reinstalling Premiere CC. I also installed the menu presets as described on another page of the website.
Encore loads and I try to create a new project specifying pathname and project name. Before I can do anything further, Encore exits with a windows dialogue about "Due to a problem the program must exit".
I did notice that some of the text boxes were filled in with values corresponding to old projects so Encore is picking up old configuration information from somewhere.

Thanks for this. The reason why I uninstalled PR CC was that in trying to follow the procedure in Encore CS6 not installed with Creative Cloud I came to step 5, Locate Premiere Pro in the list and click Install. But with PR CC installed, the button just says "Up To Date". Uninstalling allowed me to proceed.
Windows 7, and I tried running as administrator with no change.
Permissions seems unlikely to me, but if Encore can pick up old configuration data, which relates to projects that no longer exist and the pathnames won't be valid seems more likely. Do you know where it is stored so that I could try deleting it? When I last used Encore it was on Vista.
I would love to do a full Adobe uninstall as I have CS4 and 5.5 versions still hanging around, but errors occur if I try to uninstall them, and even when I tried downloading a special cleaner program from Adobe it didn't succeed.
Fortunately I have access to Canopus Edius and as a short term solution I have used that to author my DVD, but it would be great to get Encore up and running.
