Premiere Pro 2014 8.1 Poor Performance Issues

I'm having the following issues across Premiere, Audition, and Media Encoder:
1. Slow, choppy, unpredictable playback in the timeline
     -I'm using a Blackmagic Ultrastudio 4K for monitor output, and that plays out smooth in general
2. Overall UI lag
     -Clicking between files
     -Clicking between Sequence tabs
     -Clicking on clips in Icon view and scrubbing is slow
3. Export and Media Encoder Presets buggy
     -Cannot change the settings for codecs (button is non-selectable)
     -Media Encoder crashes when exporting certain presets (h.264, etc.)
4. Specifically, I've tried transcoding a ProRes LT 1080p 23.98 Sequence > ProRes LT 720p 59.94 Quicktime for playback on an Atomos Samurai Blade. This workflow
worked fine until I updated to 8.1.
The only solutions I've seen thus far have been to trash prefs and clean the cache, but I honestly think there may need to be a major cleanup on Adobe's end.
Anyone else having issues like these?

Hi E,
I have a list, which I'll amend according to your system.
Try the following:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU driversYou have AMD, so you can't do this with Mac OS X.
Trash preferences
Ensure Adobe preference files are set to read/write
This one causes a lot of performance issues in Mavericks and YosemiteImportant: Pay attention to the step about “Apply to enclosed items…”
You can also rename the folders recommended in the blog post
Delete media cache
Remove plug-ins
If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installedThis was a bug fixed in 8.0.
Repair permissions
In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
Disconnect any third party hardwareDisconnect any BMD or external drives (if you can)
See if changing the setting for the Mercury Playback Engine to Software only helps
Do a test with a brand new project and non-QuickTime/ProRes source and see if you have those issues.Projects updated from 8.0 and 8.0.1 might have issues updating to 8.1.
Make sure all other applications are closed, including web browsers and other Adobe applications.
Disable App Nap
Reboot
Report back if anything here worked for you.
Thanks,
Kevin

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.

After I purchased the creative cloud, I receive an error message when trying to use premier pro cc 2014. It states "Adobe Premiere Pro 2014.2 has stopped working. A problem has caused it to stop working. Windows will close the program and notify you of

After I purchased the creative cloud, I receive an error message when trying to use premier pro cc 2014. It states "Adobe Premiere Pro 2014.2 has stopped working. A problem has caused it to stop working. Windows will close the program and notify you of a solution." When I used the trial I never received this message. Now after purchasing it I receive this error each time I open PP and am unable to use. it. Any ideas or support to fix this issue?

What does the detailed crash report say?
And have you updated your video card drivers from the GPU maker's website? (most crashes on launch are due to bugs in out of date video card drivers)

Premiere pro 2014 cross fades don't get saved or load as saved audio drops???

For no apparent reason premiere pro 2014 will not save cross fades... it saves them but wont load them
Audio is dropping out ....
I was given a project to make some changes to and every time I open it I need to recreate the cross fades and then export it and then check it and then recreate the cross fades that didn't export and then hope for the best!!
this is so unstable and there seems to be no apparent reason
any help would be magnificent

Please check this blog post. Updating from Time Machine can cause this issue: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later).

"Adobe Premiere Pro 2014.1 has stopped working" Open Project Error

Hey, everyone.
I recently tried to re-open a project file that I created earlier today. As soon as it loads, the familiar "Adobe Premiere Pro 2014.1 has stopped working" window comes up.
I created a new project file and it seemed to work fine. When I first started this project, I was having trouble using a ".m2ts" AVCHD movie file (PPro would crash in a similar manner), so I used Media Encoder to change it to a ".mov" Quicktime file. Seemed to work fine after I did that. This new issue only arose once I tried to re-open the project file after shutting down the computer.
Got any suggestions?
-Ross

Correction - I converted the ".m2ts" file to an ".mp4" file, not an ".mov" file.

Imported dvd into premiere pro 2014 as a linked file with audio and video but audio from previous editing file is playing with video

I am editing in premiere pro 2014 on a windows 8.1 system with 12 mega byes of ram. I imported a dvd into premiere from a .f4v that was
burned using freemakevideo converter.
I imported the DVD into premiere and the audio that is playing is from an previous project I edited with the program, as oppose
to, the audio that is linked with the video imported.
Do you know why this is? I cleaned my media cache and I rebooted my machine.
Please help

Without knowing the specs of your videos it is hard to say. I'm also running a Mac and am having no such issues.
My first thought is that you have something from a 3rd party installed that is causing conflicts. If all else fails try transcoding your mp4 files to a frame based codec using the Adobe Media Encoder. Pick one of the Apple production codecs or Jpeg compressed QuickTime.
Are you running a ram preview? Did you render your Premiere timeline? Are you new to AE?

In Premiere Pro 2014 imported audio skips and is out of sync - version 7.2.2 was ok

I have been importing AVCHD Content in to Premiere Pro 7.2.2 with no issues. Now that I have upgraded to Premiere Pro 2014, importing that same AVCHD footage causes the audio to skip and finish before the video causing it to be out of sync. I compared preferences between the 2 versions and all settings seem to be the same. This is something clearly different between these two versions of Premiere Pro. Anyone else have this issue?

File menu can't open Premiere Pro 2014

I have a Premiere Pro 2014 on a Windows 8.1 Pro, both are all up to date.
When I try to access the file menu, the program crashes and you have to do a power cycle to get it up and running again.
If force the program to be run in Windows 7 mode it will work without crashing when opening the file menu, but it will take 4 times as long to open.
However if you run the program as administrator it will work just fine in Windows 8 mode, but not as the local user and not as a logged in administrator, you have to "Run As" administrator to make it work.
Does anyone have any idear what the issue could be.

Hi appman,
Premiere pro runs fine on an admin account and not as a standard user. It requires proper permissions that are available being an admin on the computer and hence on a standard user you can run into these kind of problems,
Thank You

Premiere Pro 2014.2 crashes as soon as I try to do anything. Any ideas?

Hi there,
My employer just leased a new system for me. Up until last week I had PP 2014 installed and everything ran without issues. Since the new system and installing the latest version of Premiere Pro 2014.2 I can no longer work on anything.
The software will stay open if I start it up and don't do anything. I can even open a project and it will still work. The problem occurs when I try to do something i.e. import a file, open a sequence, rename a title, etc.
Can someone help? If so, please let me know if you need more info from me (see system info below). Thanks.

I just something and it seems to be working so far. I found this on a few sites. Will this affect what I can do with the latest version of Premiere? Should I leave it this way? Thanks in advance.
In the Video Rendering And Playback section, select the appropriate renderer: Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration or Mercury Playback Engine Software Only.

My Program and Source Monitor Stopped Working: Premiere Pro 2014

Heres how it all started.
I got an error which said I didn't have the correct video modules, then came the ugly face of BSOD. I restarted, tried again, same result. I did a system restore with Windows, reinstalled Windows 8.1, reinstalled all of my plugins and Adobe CC programs, and when I opened my project was completely scrambled. Uninstalled all Adobe software, ran CC Cleaner, reinstalled. This got the audio in my videos to work but now there's only a white screen on my my Source and Program monitor when I try to play my timeline. I did another system restore on Windows, went to my laptop manufacturers website and updated my bios, graphics driver, and processor. Also reinstalled windows updates, and my Adobe software, I've tried CC Cleaner before each install, tried going back to the previous version of Premiere and still nothing in my source or Program monitors.
MSI GE70
Intel Core i7 4700MQ Processor
NVidia GeForce GTX 765M / 2GB GDDE5
12 GB Memory
using .MTS footage from a Canon C100
Premiere Pro 2014.2
Things I've tried from other threads:
-I read that there might be a problem with the .MTS files so I've also tried starting a new project with .MOV files and h.264 and still nothing.
-I tried going into the project settings and choose "render with software", still nothing.
-I tried emptying media cache files under C://users/my user/app data/roaming/Adobe/common.....you guessed it, NOTHING.
-I tried using my daughters "Frozen" magic wand we bought her for Christmas to fix the problem with icy magic like Elsa did in the movie.......surprisingly, still nothing.
Any other ideas out there?

Hi,
Do you have Dual Graphics Adapters? You can check that under Device Manager > Display Adapters.
If yes, Disable Intel Graphics and see if it helps.
Have you tried to Trash the Preferences?
Rename the 8.0 folder to trash the preferences: <drive>\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro\
Thanks,

Failure to import fcp7 project's xml into Premiere Pro 2014. Details below. Why is it crashing? Any thoughts?

Here are the details of my problem:
Premiere Pro 2014 (up to date)
Mac book Pro OSX Yosemite 10.10.1 with 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor
Source footage includes a variation of codecs as follows: H.264 in a .mov container, 1920 x 1080 Apple Pro Res 422, Linear PCM
There are no error messages, the import into Premiere Pro 2014 begins normally but the "progress bar" never starts and then after about 10 seconds a blank white box appears followed by the pinwheel.
When the problem occurred I was trying to import a fcp7 project's xml file into Premiere Pro.
I emailed Adobe Support Tech the fcp7 xml file and it crashed his computer, however, I was able to successfully import one clip from fcp7 (an Apple ProRes 422, Linear PCM, duration 1 minute) from the fcp 7 project into Premiere Pro, but not the whole project or the bare essentials (the cut itself).
I am not running other software
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Not that I know of...
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU). ??????
I am using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration
The problem only happen when I try to import the FCP7 xml project file into Premiere Pro

Hi Lynn,
Have you inspected the XML file for any anomalies? That might be a way to see if any third party effects were used.
Thanks,
Kevin

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.
