Premiere keeps shutting down saying " a serious error has occurred"

Hi, I've been using my Premiere CS6 to edit one video for several month, and there was no problem. One day i removed the current itunes library and installed the itunes library from my last macbook, since then whenever i start Premiere a message always pops out asking where's your audio file "hero"? I will then search the new itunes library for the song "hero" and select it. Once select, premiere pops out another message saying" A serious error has occurred that requires to shut down". screen shot as follow: http://i.imgur.com/qAmfzTw.png
My question is: Any advice on how to solve this problem? Does it help to re-install adobe premiere again? Or did i do something wrong while selecting the audio file?  Please give me advice if anyone knows any. Thank you in advance!

My best guess is that iTunes music has DRM which PP doesn't like.  You need to somehow get that file out of iTunes and into a format PP can work with.

    I have CS2 and I use it almost every day..

That was many many years ago?  HELP!!

    When you go to the download page, you must do two things:
    Download this file: PhSp_CS2_English.exe on the download page.
    Use the serial number on the download page in order to install your non-activation copy.
    Do not use your old CD or serial number. It no longer works.
    If you have Windows 7, the advice is to turn off UAC and run the installer as Administrator.

  • Adobe Premiere CC Trial Version "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down." PLEASE HELP!

    Every time I open any project in Adobe Premiere CC Trial Version, I get the message "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will try to save your project." I can't edit at all and am totally stuck. Please help!
    It's terrible that this is happening on the trial version as it's making me want to go straight back to FCP! Also - I've tried switching external hard drive and that also doesn't work.
    Thank you!

    So, opening a new project works?

  • Adobe elements 9 it doesn't let me open or start a new project -- it just says a serious error has occurred and it has to shut down.

    Anyone who can help me fix this?  Thanks.

    I should add that I tried deleting the files under preferences under appdata and that I'm on Windows 7.

  • HELP! Premiere Pro CC shut down because of serious error after applying FilmConvert

    I just purchased Film Convert Bundle and already have made activation
    Tried it in Premiere Pro CC, and it doesn't work!
    A have tried three times..
    - new project
    - imported my video
    - apply FilmConvert to my video.....and nothing! I even didn't see FilmConvert window. Premiere Pro just shut down with error:
    'Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014
    Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.'
    Tried it in After effects CC, and it also doesn't work!
    After effects hangs after applying FilmConvert
    Please help me solve this problems! I like your product very much!
    But It work in Photoshop CC!
    I have:
    MacBook Pro,  Early 2013
    2,4 ГГц Intel Core i7
    8 gb 1600  DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 МБ
    OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    43 GB available now
    What can be a problem, and how to solve it, HELP please!

    For me the OpenCL Mercury Render engine is less stable and performs worse than the CUDA equivalent on NVIDIA cards. As you say you are using an NVIDIA card, see if there is a CUDA option for Filmconvert or use software rendering on the CPU as you have found.

  • Premiere keeps quitting after start up, "a serious error has occured and needs to shut down" ?

    Hi there, I've been cutting a job over the last week and recently PP has been quitting and I get "a serious error has occured and pp needs to shut down".

  • "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Premiere Elements to be shut down. We will attemp

    I have been getting this message just a few nights ago after working on a project. Premiere was working at first for a few days but then this happened. Now everytime I try to activate the program it displays "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Premiere Elements to be shut down. We will attempt to save your current project".
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling premiere 3.0 but that didn't help. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    My computer is a Dell Dimension Desktop running on Windows XP with 256 MB of RAM

    There are a couple of similar threads, so I will post my solution to you also. This worked when I had the same problem.
    I have found a couple of steps for a solutions that worked for the "encountered serious error" message when attempting to share the project to disk or computer file. Here was my solution that worked.
    1. I already compiled a project that took me 2 months and used video, photo, music. I added a new video track 'before' the other tracks and inserted a black jpg image, stretch it the entire timeline and make the opacity 0%. This covers any unseen 'gaps' in the project and won't interfere or cover anything else in the project.
    2. Go to file - project archiver - copy project to a new folder away from the current folder (this will include a copy of all media used in the timeline of the project - trust me it's worth the duplication!).
    3. Go to preferences - clear your media cache. Close the program.
    4. Hold down the left ctrl + shift and then click on the Premiere program icon. Keep holding the ctrl + shift until the welcome screen for Premiere appears.
    5. Open the new *.prel project you had saved in the new folder in step 2.
    6. Go to share and make your disk or computer file.
    After trying all the recommendations of the various posts, this is what I found that worked (I didn't find step 2 in a post but was just trying to back up the work I did and found that it created a new *.prel file!). For some reason, when previously trying to share the project with the original *.Prel file, it didn't like having all the media in different folders from the project, even if they were a in a sub-folder within the project folder. It wanted all the media in the SAME FOLDER as the project.
    I just now have a new error that I can't find the solution for in support or the forum yet. But that's another post.
    I hope this helps someone else!

  • 'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (Mac)

    There is an error that says when I am open my project: 'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (mac)

    This happens to me all the time too. When I attempt to reopen, it makes a "copy of" my project. This is frustrating and happiness often.

    Hi guys; I thought I would share my experience and how I managed to fix this problem. It might help someone.
    In my case I kept receiving this message; eventually after re-launching Premiere, I actually paid close attention to the "software loading" information and saw that it got stuck on my installed "Colorista ii" which is a colour grading software.
    Now the red bulb came on my head ping!
    I recently just upgraded my Mac to the OS X Yosemite & that affected pretty much any non-updated application, which in my case was that and many more of the Red Giant Pacakge; so I searched for the upgrade via Red giant Link, and low and behold I found it and did so. Immediately everything loaded up perfectly fine.. and now can't even do the work, cos I'm so exhausted from an 'almost heartattack'; so going to sleep and commence later in the day I guess..
    Now, you might probably want to check if any application on your system needs upgrading to whatever is the operating system on your Mac or PC at this very time. It might help.
    Always back-up.
    I hope I helped someone :-)

  • Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires adobe premiere pro to shut down

    Every time I start premiere pro, i get this message
    Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires adobe premiere pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
    I have no idea why this is happening because the program has been working fine for nearly 7 months.
    My ram is 2gb, I have a c2d processor and a powerful psu and a gfx card.
    Any ideas as what I can do, I have already reinstalled, removed vst plugins and reset all sorts of preferences and caches.
    THank you

    Head to the Adobe site's 'knowledgebase', type optimise CS3 for (Windows XP, if that's what your using) and following the instructions there, house clean. I find doing this helps clean out those nasty messages

  • Another "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."

    When I try an open the original project or a copy of it I get this message.
    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
    I have tried to create a new project and get the same message.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the program a few times.
    The last time I worked on the project I had no issues.
    Any suggestions?

    Hi
    a. Open Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 - Yes, I get the welcome screen (v9.0).  I can choose open project, and choose my project.  The program will open and show that it is loading the project with the scroll line will show all the way to 100% and will stay there.  Sometimes I get the "Sorry" message and sometimes the loading project window just goes away and nothing is loaded and the program stays on the clock until I close it.
    b. You can find the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and deletion of it makes no difference to your issue. - Made no difference
    c. Have you deleted the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists? If not, please do so. - Done, made no difference
    1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? - Running McAfee Total Access Protection.  Turned off firewall and anti virus. It works.  As a test I left the anti virus off and tried loading project with and with out the firewall turned on.  The project loaded each time.  I then tested the firewall on, with and with out antivirus.  Antivirus off - project loads each time.  Antivirus on - doesn't load and program stays on clock.
    I will continue to experiment with it and see what happens.  The last time I used it I was running a different McAfee product than no.  So it seems to work with the Firewall on and the Antivirus off.

  • "A Serious Error Has Occurred That Requires Adobe Premiere Pro to Shut Down"

    "A Serious Error Has Occurred That Requires Adobe Premiere Pro to Shut Down" Pops up every time I export a video.. I have 2 TB of space where i'm exporting so thats not the issue... I'm using RED Giant Pluraleyes to match multiple cameras but other then that, there are no other 3rd party plug ins being used...
    This is very frustrating. I'm using updated CC and have tried shutting down the computer (iMac) and tried exporting to different locations on and off my HDD.
    What am I supposed to do?

    So, opening a new project works?

  • Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.

    Every time I place a video into the sequence timeline, this error message pops up, "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." and then Premiere crashes.
    I tried uninstalling all products and then reinstalling them, and the problem is still there.
    What can I do to fix this?

    @RoninEdits, Thanks for the response.
    But yeah, I've tried both the Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration AND Software Only and its the same issue with both.

  • Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down.

    I have Adobe Premier Elements 7. When I launch the application then try to begin using it an error is presented which advises Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.  When I click OK the program shuts down. I have tried fixes I have found on the Forum. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the program.

    From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
    •You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
    •(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
    •What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.0.1 update).
    •What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
    •Has this ever worked before?  If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.?  Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
    •Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    •What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
