Premiere Pro CC 2014 crashes when loading project file

Hi guys, any help on this is much appreciated as I have a job due in 18 hours and I'm in big trouble if I can't fix this.
I've been editing a project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 (updated to the latest version) and when I tried to access the same file today it is giving me the error message:
'Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.'
I had saved other version files and they all seem to be working properly so I know it's not my HD that is corrupt. In fact my suspicion is that it has something to do with a blur effect i'm using. The only problem is, I can't even access the file to delete the effect as the project file won't open.
Information about my computer:
I am using a Macbook Pro
OS X version 10.9.4
2.6 Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB, 1600 MHz DDR3
Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

Guys I solved my own problem - thought I'd share with you how in case anyone else is having this problem -
I came across this thread
Premiere Pro CC error message and crash
which had the suggestion -
"Do tou have after effects installed? If yes, please try to import the main sequence into it and then export it as premier pro project from file/export ootion and then try to open that in premiere pro."
This didn't work for me too but I did try and import my existing project into a new project and copy all the files over. Works fine now.
I don't know if I will have the same issue again tomorrow so I'm going to render out a super high res video before I close premiere just in case

Premiere Pro 5.5 crashes when importing mpg file

Premiere Pro 5.5 crashes when importing mpg file.
I can get the file to import if I first right click the file and tell it to "open in source monitor" then tell it to import.
When I do this it indexes the file. After it is done indexing is when I can then import the file.
Should I not just be able to tell it to import and it does the indexing?
These files that I am tryig to open were with Premiere Pro 4.

Welcome to the forum.
What are the specs. of this MPEG file? Might be something in those, that is causing an issue.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CC 2014 crash when I Click and Drag

Hi All, I have a problem with Premiere CC 2014 that is driving me crazy!
The issue is as follows:
If I try to drag a clip, sequence, effect or transition anywhere within the premiere, it will crash - with "Sorry, a serious error has occurred" message. The program will crash, quit and the saved recovery project is usually healthy (luckily!). BUT, as soon as I've re-started the program, and reloaded the project - or any project for that matter - the problem persists. As soon as I click and drag, Premiere crashes!
In order to 'reset' this, I have to restart my machine. Once I have done so, I can continue editing as normal for a while (not long, perhaps up to an hour, or so) but eventually, it WILL crash again. I've not been able to work out what I have to do in order to trigger this - it seems random. But once it's happened, only restarting my computer will resolve it - and then only temporarily.
Here are all the facts:
The crash ONLY happens when I drag something... This can include moving a clip on the timeline, dragging a clip form the source viewer or project window, dragging an effect or transition.
The crash happens after I have clicked, as soon as I start to move my mouse.
I CAN click and drag to extend in and out points on the timeline, and I can do 'insert' edit using the button on the source monitor. No crash here.
The footage plays fine.
I am trying this on a CLEAN OS X install, with only Adobe packages installed, to eliminate any potential of interference from other programs. There are no third party plugins or drivers installed. No user data installed either (preferences, photos, documents, etc) - as fresh as it comes!
I am not running Time Machine in the BG
My system is: Macbook Pro 2011, 16GB Ram, 1tb SSD, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. Intel Graphics card, so no option to turn on or off hardware acceleration. It is set to software only.
I have tested this with projects and footage on an external drive, as well as internal, same issue.
I noticed the issue had started on, or around 25-27th November 2014.
Interestingly, I have noticed that once this crash has occurred in Premiere, a similar problem will occur in After Effects as soon as I drag a file or layer... doesn't matter what the layer is. The crash seems less elegant here, I don't get an error message, it just freezes and I have to 'force quit'. Again, the problem persists until the machine is restarted.
I have been using my macbook and premiere pro cc 2014 on Mavericks for a long time, and had no problems - so I know it should work fine! The only things that changed were an update to Yosemite, I started using Time Machine to make regular backups, I installed a few new fonts and any CC updates that happened in the background... I can rule out most of these because of my fresh install, with no user data, fonts plugins or time machine to confuse matters... It must be an Adobe bug with Yosemite!
Any ideas?
Thanks so much in advance!!

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).

Premiere Pro CC (2014) crashing when making a sequence

I just did a clean install of OS X Yosemite and installed Creative Cloud on my 2008 MacPro. Every time I make a new sequence or open a saved Premiere Pro CS6 project, Premiere Pro CC 2014 always crashes. I am not sure what is going on because before I updated OS X from Mavricks, I used Premiere Pro CS6 with no issues at all. Please help! Thanks!
Here are my MacPro settings:
Here are the errors I am getting:
That blank space usually says this:

Ok I have seemed to "fix" the problem. I have two video cards on my MacPro:
I have a three monitor setup with two monitors on the 2600 XT and a single monitor on the 6870. I unplugged the two monitors on the 2600 XT and created a new sequence and it didn't crash. Not quite sure what is going on with this because this was never an issue while I was running Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. I still do want to run a three monitor setup but the 6870 doesn't want to support three monitors. Hopefully there is an update from Adobe that will fix this issue.
Is there a way that Premiere will not try to use the other video card?

Premiere Pro CC 2014 crashes when deleting keyframes on photos

As the title says, I'm getting a crash every time I delete keyframes from photos I've done "Ken Burns" style moves to. It gives me the old "A serious Error has occurred" message and poof.
This never happened with CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS 4.5...well...you get the idea!
Is there a workaround or is this a new bug that needs to be dealt with?
Next time it happens I will take a screen grab but I have a serious deadline to meet right now.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 crashing when trying to see a sequence

This is the error message I keep receiving -
[/caravan/releases/2014.09/shared/adobe/MediaCore/Backend/Src/Sequence/PersistentGroupCont ainer.cpp-279]
The only variant I've seen is when I try opening the same sequence in Premiere Pro CC, not 2014.
I've tried importing in the exact sequence to a fresh new project and it drops the import altogether. Has anyone seen this happen across multiple versions of cleanly installed Premiere?

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 constantly crashes when importing video files

I have not used Premiere Pro in a while, but recently when I tried to import video files (from .m4v, .mp4 and .mov) the program stops working, the "importing" window doesn't progress and I get the rainbow wheel of "death".
I read some other posts where some are having similar situations and some users suggested moving the file from an external hard-drive to an internal one (I have a 1TB external hard-drive) but that didn't do squat either.
Once the program is frozen I'm forced to "force quit" the program.
Does anyone know what I can do?

I am having the same problems, but my program locks up when trying to playback .MTS files that are shot natively on my GH2. It will not render or export anything & when you try and scrub or playback footage it gets the spinning wheel of death. To finish my last project, I had to transcode all the .MTS files to .MP4 files and it worked fine. Also, anytime I shut down PP, I have to force quit the program for it to shut down. Here are the detailed info you asked for...
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).Premiere Pro CC (trial) 7.1.0 - 141 (because I uninstalled CS5, 5.5, & 6 thinking they may be the problems.
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) YES, up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac”. OSX 10.9
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime”..MTS files from a GH2
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?It tells me that it is an unknown error (I do not have a copy of the original error message)
What were you doing when the problem occurred?Trying to playback (wheel of death), Trying to Render and export (starts rendering, then just sits there and then gives the unknown error)
Has this ever worked before?I have worked on this projects for a few months, then just out of the blue it started with these problems about 1 week ago.
What other software are you running?none
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?some from Video Copilot and Plural eyes 3 (NOT used on this project)
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
iMac 27in Mid 2011 3.4 Intel Core i7 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 AMD Radeon HD6970M 2048 MB OSX 10/9 (13A603)
No external devices, except a external hard drive. I changed from a Thunderbolt Seagate 1TB (single 7200 RPM) to a Drobo Mini 2 TB RAID 5 in the MIDDLE of this problem, thinking the issue was the drive was to slow to keep up - NOT the case… it still happens with the new drive.
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?I am not completely sure to be honest - I believe it is the factory settings.
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?both!

Premiere Pro CC(2014) crashing when copying and pasting clips

Has anyone found Premiere to hang when copy and pasting clips from one sequence to another, or even within the same sequence.
Sometimes, it hangs then comes back to life. Other time I just have to force quit.
Thanks

I don't recall reports of such a problem. We'll need more info to attempt to troubleshoot the issue. Start with the prompts on this page: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum? Especially the details on your computer.
Also, please report the following:
the types of content in your sequence, particularly in segments you're pasting. The source(s) of the content, the codec(s), the duration of copied segments?
where the content is stored?
whether either sequence was imported from a third-party program via XML or the like?
the sequence settings of both sequences?
what effects & transitions are in use, particularly in the segments you're pasting?
what is resource usage before and during the copy/paste operation? Is a CPU getting pegged? Does memory usage spike precipitously?

Premiere Pro CC 2014 Crashes When Soundediting.

Hi,
I have been editing a film on a PC 64bit, windows 7.1. For some time now.
It´s perrfectly fine until I started using the Audio Denoiser and EQ effects and doing some
basic sound editing/mixing whatever you want to call it.
Simply crashes after a while. A serious error one time (seen that Before!) and
sometimes just locks canvas and after a while crashes.
Strange!
Any solutions to this?

Thanks! It works fine now!
Kind of Think I can remember that being an issue Before.
Can´t remember if it was the CS6 I was running back then.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 crashing constantly

Premiere Pro CC was great. Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not so great!
Constantly crashing every time I go to render after a while.
It happens so inconsistently I cannot explain.
I wish Adobe would see this post and contact me to resolve.
We pay for 5 seats every month and should not have to deal with software crashing constantly.
Thanks,

Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files

Acrobat Pro 9.3 Crashes when opening multiple files. I have not seen any solutions in forums that solves this problem. I have just done the most recent update and it still crashes.

Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died. Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again. Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes. I send the error report every time.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 Crashing and Bogging Down on Documentary Film Project

We have been working in Premiere on this documentary film for months.
As we reach completion it is beginning to really bog down and crash a lot.
Equipment is
iMac 27 inch 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7 Late 2013 Model
Apple Cinema HD Display
32 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB Graphics Card
1TB internal SSD Drive
We are running Premiere Pro CC 2014.0.1 and have remained there because we don't want to upgrade the software in the middle of the project.
The media is all on the external drive. It's a USB 3.0 connection. There is quite a lot of footage that we are working with.
We do have some After Effects comps that are linked in the project and we have exported the ones that are complete as QuickTimes to try to stop that from bogging us down.
Any advice on how we can manage this crashing and freezing problem would be much appreciated.
We don't have the cash to upgrade the computer and it has been working pretty well for us so far.
Here are things we have done:
Made a smaller timeline because we were working on one that was the entire movie.
Turned off the secondary monitor and unplugged it.
We are looking at moving the render cache off the external drive to a thunderbolt drive, but I'm concerned that this may take a long time.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Splitting up the read/write items is rather a key to getting smoother operation out of PrPro. Either that or putting things on a large RAID-0/5, this sort of thing is covered over on the
Tweaker's Page ...
http://ppbm7.com/index.php/tweakers-page
And I highly recommend you take a look. Their info isn't just "we think ... " ... but the results of many many carefully crafted test sequences run on many machines with all sorts of hardware bits & pieces. You can also register, download the PBM test and run it on your own machine. It takes only a little while to do so, and with the logger app that's included and posting the results back to them, you can get a very good breakdown on where your machine is doing ok ... and where any choke points are occurring.
I think this would be good for you right now ... you need to get stuff done, not guess & try things.

PP CC and PP CC 2014 crashing when loading presets, workspaces etc...Help?!

Hello everyone,
I've been using PP on my Laptop for years, from CS5 to CS6 and CC without any issues. Yesterday I was working on my current project in PP CC and all of a sudden, it crashed and after that refused to load any project, showing me this error messaage: http://i.imgur.com/I6kL3G8.jpg.
So I went ahead, and cleared all the temp files, the media cashes and so on, restartet the computer, cleaned the registry, tried different harrdrives, tried creating new projects - all the same. I then got it narrowed down to the following: When I delete everything in the folder C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\7.0 it works flawlessly - but of course all my workspaces, presets and custom keys etc. (which go back to CS5) are gone. I even upgraded to PP CC 2014 just now , but upon importing my precious presets, it chrashes again, giving me the exact same error message. So I tried copying in ONLY the .keys file or ONLY the "Effect Presets and Custom Items" etc. - no chance, if ANY preset file from before is in there, PP doesn't load any projects.
Could someone please help me with this? I'd absolutely HATE to loose all those presets, because I CANNOS SIMPLY restore all that in like 15 minutes. Not even an hour for that matter. I hope the descripiton of the problem is clear and thanks in advance for any tipps.

That kind of did the trick: I did what you said, and PP openend without crashing, but all my presets still weren't showing up... so I synced my settings with iCloud (I never did this before) and then I copied my OLD presets in the Profile-CreativeCloud-" folder (not the "Profile-[Username]" folder), synched AND THAT DID THE TRICK. That saved everything, but the custom effect presets... what seems to be the problem there is the following Premiere pro CC2014.2 crashes on launch: c:\cloudroom\releases\2014.09\shared\adobe\mediacore\mediafoundation\api\inc\Keyframe/Key frame.h-146
But at least I only lost douzends of presets but nod hundreds, so thank you very much Ann!

and start again" WHICH IS FREAKING IMPOSSIBLE SINCE I AM ON A MAC BOOK PRO. So sick and tired of companies not working out glitches in this crap. Could someone please help. I am so
angry and frustrated here.

Somewhat figured it out and extremely frustrated.
I created another new user with administrative privileges. When i did this i got AE CC 2014 and Premiere Pro CC 2014 working. However, they will not work in my regular main account which has
administrative priviledges. On the phone with ADOBE they told me that it was a permissions issue and that it was Apple's Problem. Which I CALL B.S.!!!
I tried to repair permissions in disk utility knowing full well that it wouldn't fix the issue. How on earth would apple know what the permissions errors in folders or files are for Adobe products!!
I was very angry and upset with the Adobe technical support for this issue.
On the new mac pro i am using i was able to create the new administrator account and erase the old administrator account since i have 0 documents or old data that i have on it other than programs.
However, on my mac pro. I have well over 15 years of data on it including 100 GB of music, etc... that i simply can't just erase away. Not too interested in working on 2 different accounts either.
Not sure what to do now and i am extremely frustrated.
