Premiere Pro CC freezes while exporting

Premiere Pro CC on a MacBook Pro with an OSX 10.7.4  My source footage is a .mov file shot on a Cannon 7D, 1080p and I am trying to export to an H.264 format in 720p/VBR, 1 Pass with a target and max bitrate of 6.  Once the export gets to about 60% it freezes and hangs there then the Mac colorful wheels spins.
This use to work properly for me and I am not sure why it is doing this now.  Any ideas or suggestions as to why and what I can do?

I started using CC a while back and have done most of the work on this project in CC. I believe i may be able to finish it in premiere pro cc. At the moment i have the project queued up and rendering.. Its taking a while, but i think it will work. Knowing the issue brings me a lot of relief! I was worried that it was just a problem with premiere. Thank you for you help! That issue is solved!

  • Constant Premiere Pro CC freezing

    Hey,
    Really annoying issue that has been happening ever since I installed CC. Everytime I do anything substantial while editing like slicing a clip, moving a clip, maximizing the program, clicking export or bringing new clips in, Premiere Pro will freeze up for around 30 seconds and then go back to normal until the next freeze. Saving the project also takes flipping ages... like 5 minutes.
    Any ideas what this could be? Editing GoPro HD Hero 3 (converted with GoPro Cineform Studio) and 5D Mk3 (occasionally shot RAW and exported out of AE for use in PP) footage off the 2TB internal HDD. All software is installed on the SSD.
    Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0
    AMD FX8350
    16GB Patriot Viper 3 RAM
    Nvidia GTX 780
    128GB SanDisk SSD
    2TB 7200RPM Seagate Barracuda
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    There have been a LOT of reports like this recently.  Something seems to have changed for a lot of folks in the past month or so.  A Windows or Mac update, a driver update, something.
    Unfortunately, I've yet to see any reliable solutions posted.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Render and Export Screen Glitch and Freeze

    I use Premiere Pro CS6 on a 2012 Macbook Retina display - 16GB RAM, 751GB Flash Storage, NVIDIA GeForce 650m Graphics Card, 2 External 4TB hardrives for scratch disks, Thunderbolt connection. When I try to render and export videos I often get a graphical glitch like in the pic shown below and my computer freezes. It happens very often, especially when there are a lot of effects in the videos - I use the GenArts Sapphire plugin often.
    This has been going on basically since I bought my Macbook 2 years ago, but it is starting to become more and more common -  considering this was the most expensive Macbook Pro you could buy I am very annoyed with this - even on some videos where I have applied no plugin effects or any color correction it happens, especially when trying to export videos.
    Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

    I am having precisely the same problem as bricklaneeditor, and have exactly the same setup: MBP early 2011, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD,
    30" ACD, Mac OS 10.7.4 , PPro 6.0.1
    Indeed, a restart of Premiere Pro always fixes the problem -- for a while.  I've also seen similar behavior in Media Composer 6.0.1 once or twice so am wondering whether it's an issue with this machine/OS, as the playback software architectures are so different on those two NLE's. 
    I should also mention that the problem is not isolated to any particular file format -- have seen it with timelines containing 7D footage, HDV and ProRes files.  
    I strongly suspect some sort of problem on either Apple's or Adobe's end with the GPU in this machine, as it is ATI and not Nvidia -- and is, as far as I know, the only non-CUDA GPU, at least on the Mac side, certified to work with the CS6 Mercury Playback Engine.   
    Also wondering whether an over-the-top or a clean install of Mountain Lion might shake things up enough to make a difference.  (Otherwise I'm in no big hurry to upgrade my OS.)  Is anyone seeing this problem with PPro under 10.8?  Might be worth installing 10.8 over an external HDD clone of the System drive and booting temporarily from the clone just to see if the problem persists in Premiere.  
    Anyone have any thoughts on these possibilities? 

  • Premiere Pro cs5 freezing my computer when exporting

    >OR should I download some additional content from the web-site to install the MPEG codes and there by enabling support to Premiere Pro?
    You may install anything you want (but I personally would not, unless I was 100% sure of the source) and the trial version STILL will not work with any MPEG codec
    The trial has a built-in "lock out" that prohibits using MPEG, no matter what else you have on your computer

  • Premiere Pro crashing constantly while working with stills & exporting

    I've been using Premiere Pro for a few months now, after being a loyal FCP user (since version 1.2!) and for the most part it's been a relatively painless transition.
    This latest project is killing me though. There's a lot of stills and they seem to be causing PP to crash. I cannot get anything done. Cannot even export my timeline, from Encoder, or directly through PP.
    My sequence is just about 5 minutes long and has about 15 JPG photos with moderate pan and scan. I keep getting "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project" message.
    I'm running a MBP Retina. 2.7GHz Intel Core i7. 16GB 1600 MHz Ram. V 10.8.5. The problem exists whether my project file is saved to local or external drive. I've run the most recent Adobe updates, so it's Premiere 6.0.5
    Is it possible there's something strange about the way the photos have been prepped? Most of them are straight from the client. But I tried running some through PSD to re-save. That hasn't helped but maybe I'm missing something… This is pretty frustrating. Any clues?
    The sequence settings match the source footage (straight from Canon 7D mov files). Is there some known issue with stills that I don't know about? Thanks.

    Earlier this year, I suffered through the same issue, which became progressively worse over time. In retrospect, I realized it was connected with the minor upgrades of OSX which in turn installed newer versions of OpenCL. Each one got worse, crashing Premiere more and more often. Ultimately, Premiere became useless--couldn't do a damn thing.
    I read about a potential conflict with OpenCL, installed CUDA (which had been installed originally, but  apparently lost in a system rebuild), and it worked nearly flawlessly for the past nine months. Yesterday I updated Premiere CS6 and unknown to me, it set the default render engine back to OpenCL. My system was again totally parallized. I deleted all render files, all preferences--anything that might have been corrupt when I realized what was happening. Back to CUDA and instantly my system stabilized.
    What a waste of time and frustration. Adobe really needs to get this figured out, or block OpenCL from non-supported systems, or at least offer some semblence of guesswork in the crash messages such as, "You may want to try changing your render engine ..."
    Moral of the story? Don't upgrade. If it works, leave it alone.

  • Premiere Pro CC not queuing exports into Media Encoder CC

    I try to make this simple...
    standard export from PP CC to ME CC
    File -> export -> media, then hit queue.
    Media encoder opens and just sits there. Left it for hours to see if anything would ever happen, and nothing ever did.
    I've restarted the programs and machine dozens of times and that does nothing.
    I can still export from PP CC.
    I have no CS6 products left on my box.
    I also tried to open the project from Media Encoder and load the sequence that way with no luck.
    Thanks for the help!

    I had this exact same problem, and I figured out the solution in my case.  I know the original problem report is ancient, but there are recent replies, so I am adding my solution here.  I spent untold hours figuring this out, so hopefully this will save someone else some time.
    There can be other causes to this problem, I'm sure.  I'm just telling you about what fixed this problem for me.
    Just to clarify, here is the symptom: Running Windows 8.1.  Standard export from Premiere Pro CC 2014.2 to Media Encoder CC 2014.2, using File -> Export -> click Queue.  Media Encoder opens and just sits there.  Premiere Pro is hung and has to be forcibly terminated.
    I spent countless hours on this.  I thought I had messed up my computer's configuration somehow, so (believe it or not) I re-installed Windows on a freshly formatted hard disk, re-installed Creative Suite, same problem.  (I can't believe I wasted all that time; I feel like a dummy.)
    I finally narrowed it down to a very simple test case with a very tiny one-clip sequence that is less than one second long.  Same problem.
    It turned out to be a problem in the Premiere Pro project file itself.  I suspect that a small file corruption somehow snuck into the project file, that was completely invisible.  In that clip in my project, if I removed the "Vocal Enhancer" effect, the problem with exporting to Media Encoder went away.  If I then re-added the very same "Vocal Enhancer" effect, the problem was still gone.  It must be some small corruption in the ".prproj" file that went away when I removed the "Vocal Enhancer" effect and re-added it again.
    NOTE: I DON'T think that there is some kind of bug with the "Vocal Enhancer" effect.  I don't think this problem has anything to do with "Vocal Enhancer" per se.  It is just some kind of small generic corruption in the project file.  When Premiere Pro tries to export that sequence to Media Encoder, the problem occurs.  It was just a coincidence in my case that removing and re-adding the "Vocal Enhancer" effect made the problem go away.
    BOTTOM LINE: If you find that you have this bug where Premiere Pro hangs when exporting to the Media Encoder queue, try the following: Create a brand new project with a single clip in it, and export it to the Media Encoder queue.  If that works, you know that it is not a problem with Premiere Pro in general; it's a problem in your specific project file.  Once you've made this determination, make a copy of your original project file, and remove clips from the project until the problem goes away.  Keep narrowing it down until you find the clip(s) that are the issue.  Then, try removing and re-adding any effects on those clips, or even removing and re-adding the clips themselves, to fix the problem.  Eventually, by removing and re-adding a specific effect or clip to your project, the problem will vanish (hopefully).  It's just a matter of narrowing down which half of your project the problem occurs in, then which half of that half, etc., until you have it narrowed down to one clip or group of clips that need to be removed and re-added.
    Having said all this, it is a bug that ideally should be fixed so someone else doesn't spend untold hours trying to figure out the problem.  To that end, I create a tiny ZIP file that just has project file and the single media clip needed to reproduce the problem, along with a small description "READ ME.txt" file that explains the very simple steps to reproduce the problem.  I have submitted this as a bug report to Adobe using their official online bug report form at www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform along with a link to the ZIP file so they can download and reproduce the problem.
    If anyone else is curious about reproducing this same bug, you can also download the small ZIP file if you want to.  I guarantee it doesn't have any viruses or anything - it's just two small files to reproduce the problem.  To download the ZIP file containing that project file, media file, and "READ ME.txt" file, you can get it at www.forgaard.com/files/PremiereProBug.zip.
    I hope this saves someone some time.  This one sucked up a zillion hours of me chasing apparitions.
    I was having a problem with exporting a sequence to AME.  PPro would freeze and I would have to force the program to close.  This was on a project where I was just running out a bunch of interview clips for the director to look at.  One of them had a audio effect (DeHummer) on it, and it was the one that was giving me troubles.  I selected the audio and right clicked then "Render and Replace" then it would export to AME with no issue.  Thank you for your well written response to this thread.  While it may not have fixed the OP's issue, it did help with mine....
    Thanks,

  • Premiere CC 2014 freezes while editing

    I'm not sure how common this is, but I know others have complained about Premiere CC 2014 crashing their systems. For me, it freezes after editing for a while. During playback the video will freeze while the audio continues. Eventually the entire program will crash.
    Its a shame because there is no way to export this project to Premiere CC, but I can't work this way. Does anyone know a fix for this?

  • Adobe Premiere CC is crashing while exporting to AME, but only with Audio effects on tracks...

    Hi everyone,
    I've had ZERO issues with Adobe CC up until this past weekend.
    I built a new PC (i7 5960x, X99 Deluxe MOBO, 16 GB DDR4 Ram, Windows 8.1) and I'm having strange issues while exporting from Adobe Premiere.
    The export box comes up fine but when I send it to the Adobe Media Encoder Queue, a white box comes up and hangs Premiere.
    I tried reinstalling both Premiere and AME, but that didn't help. I decided to take off all of my audio plugins from all of the tracks and it seems to work consistently.
    I've never had this problem in the past.
    It even hangs/freezes when I have Adobe stock plugins on (Radio Leveler preset single-band compressor as an example).
    I had intermittent success while holding the SHIFT key while launching AME, then doing the export (with audio plugins), but it's not ideal.
    Can anybody help?
    Edit: All updates are installed.

    I have the same problem and it recurs with successive versions of the software that your subscribers are beta testing for you, Adobe Premiere CC. Please rectify.

  • Premiere Pro CC + Multichannel Audio Export issues?

    Currently I need to deliver 6 Channels of 5.1 audio mixed needs to be paralled with film and add Closed Caption and export as QT (Pro Res 422(HQ) with 6 Channels of Audio).
    When I Try to export from Premiere Pro CC, I was asked combine 1+2, 3+4, 5+6 and when I export get 7 Channels with 3 stereo pairs.
    Is it not possible to export 6 Channels only export as individual tracks along with Video in a QuickTime Export. Also have option only to select 5 or 7 Channels rather than my 6 channels why?
    Attached screenshot for reference.

    I know this thread is old but I figured I'd answer anyway if anyone comes across this post with the same question.
    Premiere Pro will still export 6 uncompressed channels of audio when you select 5.1.
    It doesn't bother giving you the option for a 6 channel QT file because it is the same as 5.1.
    I had the same issue a while ago where I wanted to export a ProRes HQ file with 6 channels of audio but instead of 5.1, it was Lt-Rt (1-2), M&E (3-4), SOT (5-6). I just selected 5.1 when exporting then configure the channels as mono in Quicktime 7 Pro. Works perfectly.

  • Premiere CC 2014 Freezing during Export

    Hey everyone, I tried to look for a post of this issue, but none seem to be quite the same as this. Whenever I go to export my file, my entire system locks up. I've tried leaving it for upwards of 40 minutes and it does not come back. The very few times I have gotten it to export, it goes smoothly, within 5 minutes or so.
    I have just last week updated my Premiere CC to the most current update (8.0.0 (169) build).
    I am running Windows 7 Professional
    the source files are .MOV, but I apologize that's about as much info as I know how to give on that right now.
    I am not getting any error message, the system is simply locking up. When I reenter the program after rebooting my system, I do get a failure to launch the program. After that I am able to get back in.
    I have tried multiple types of files to export to, and switched up settings as well.
    This has worked only twice. 98% failure rate, I'd say at this point.
    I have tried while running only Premiere, and I have tried with Chrome open, as well as some other software.
    I am using an AMD Radeon R7 200 series graphics card
    i have a dedicated 5.9 GB of RAM for Premiere to use
    I have an AMD FX-8350 Processor
    if anyone can shed some light on this situation it would be fantastic. My free trial is almost up, and if I can't get this to work, I obviously will not be subscribing to the CC services.
    Thanks.
    and please let me know if there is anymore information I should provide!

  • Premiere Pro CC freezes on a frame during playback, but audio keeps playing?

    Hi,
    First time poster, long time visitor to the boards. Running a new Mac "Pony Keg" (I think calling it a "trash can" invites bad performance ) with OSX 10.9.5.  Here's a recurring issue: I am playing back a sequence and then it will freeze on a frame (different everytime) and the audio keeps playing. I can stop the playback and it will continue to play, but the frame is locked in. Next, I'll quit out of the app, and try to reopen, but nothing happens because Premiere never actually quit. I'll pull up Force Quit window and it reads as "not responding." I'll Force Quit, relaunch the project and things will work again for a while, and then I need to do a whole reboot.  Any thoughts on what might be causing this freeze frame issue or why Premiere won't actually quit? I've seen these posts in some various threads, but not these two issues in the same thread. Thanks in advance for any help and insights offered!
    Best,
    Tracy

    Hi Tracy,
    I would suggest these things:
    Do this first: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
    If that doesn't help, Change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only under File > Project settings > General. Delete previews after clicking on OK.
    If nothing helps, try this:
    Go to the following locations:
    Location 1: When in Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Location 2: Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe
    Location 3: Documents > Adobe
    In all the locations, rename the 'Adobe' folders to 'OldAdobe'
    Launch Premiere, accept the License Agreement and see if it works.
    Note: You will lose your customized workspaces, keyboard shortcuts and media cache.
    Thanks,
    Rameez

  • PRemiere Pro CS3 Freezes when I choose Adobe Media Encore

    Hi,
    For the first time, When I choose File - Export - Adobe Media Encoder the application freezes and nothing happens. Bt hitting the ESC key "wakes" it back up again.
    The Sequence is only 12 minutes long, but this has never happened before.
    Exporting to any other option seems to work.
    any ideas?
    cheers

    Pressing the ESC key is the clue here. It sounds like the AME window is opening but is not visible. Use the ALT+TAB key combination to cycle through your open windows and see if it brings AME to the front. If you have more than one monitor then try disabling all but one for testing purposes.
    Cheers

  • Premiere Pro CC freezes after opening project. "Media Pending"

    So I'm editing a music video I filmed with a Canon 60D, 1080p 23.976 fps, and i was chopping and layering clips that had not yet been rendered for the colour correction done on them, which was a slow process. (I have a mid 2010 mac book pro with an upgrade to SSD's and 8GB of ram, 2.4GHz Intel Core i5, and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256MB, running os 10.9.2).
    ANYWAY, I had to save and close it without rendering it yet and whenever I try and open it again, it opens the project, but then freezes and I get the spinning beachball of doom. I can see the sequence and all the edits that I had done, but the program window is yellow and says "Media Pending". I have to force quit to get out of it because it always says Premiere Pro CC is not responding. This does NOT happen with any of my other projects. This particular project is not crazy huge, but it's larger than my other projects which are few and it's certainly enough to make my macbook cry. I will be very grateful for any help.

    Sorry to hear that. Please check out this doc: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
    You also might try the following:
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Delete media cache
    Delete preview files
    Remove plug-ins
    If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
