Premiere Pro CS 3 stops working

Hello, I have been using Premiere Pro CS 3 without a problem on a 3 year old PC with Windows Vista, 32 bit, 4 GB RAM. The other day, in the middle of editing (I was about 17 minutes into my timeline), the program crashed, and later so did my computer. The computer is up and running again, but I cannot get Premiere to open properly now. I get the splash screen, and some of the little "retrieving this and that" notices flash briefly, then I get the basic program frame with the Premiere Title at the top and an otherwise white screen, and then it closes. It does this regardless of whether I open it from the start menu, or by opening the actual premiere file. I reinstalled the program without any improvement at all. It was working fine, now it's not. Any ideas out there?
Desperately yours, and thanks in advance,
Steve Forrest

John,
Thanks for your suggestion. (I know how to do this as I have used the same keystroke combo while working with InDesign)I tried numerous times, though, and I just couldn't get it to "catch." Is there some way to delete the preferences file (or reset it) by navigating through the file structures?
My brother is a serious geek in Berkeley. We used Crossloop and he tried a bunch of things, including:
Uninstall and reinstall QuickTime
Create a new account.
He used the command prompt and did a lot of rooting around that I didn't really understand, but he renamed several files, but it didn't change anything. (He went after the VST folder, if I recall, and also went after to folders in the Adobe Premiere Pro directory, one called Premiere Pro, and the other called PremierePro (without a space). Sorry I can't be more descriptive, but I'm not any kind of professional. He had googled our problem and was basically trying out various of the fixes that people had listed, including some from within the greater Adobe world.
So, still nothing. The weirdest part of this is that it was working fine, and had been for years, then all of a sudden it crashed, and now it doesn't even start up right. It's possible that one of the clips had some screwy time code info, but I don't see how that would account for this, and I'm not even sure that it's even the case.
The only new piece of behavior is that, while we were doing all this and trying to restart the program, I am also getting a screen telling me that my product is no longer licensed, or something like that (I didn't copy the exact wording). I don't know why that would be the case, and I'm not aware of the product "expiring" in that way. Again, totally new.
I'm all ears if you have any other suggestions. Thanks so much for your time.
Steve Forrest
PS I have purchased a Windows 7 upgrade. I will be trying a complete reinstallation of Premiere, then will be doing the Windows 7 upgrade, then will try another complete reinstallation of Premiere (assuming the earlier doesn't work to change this.)

"Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 has stopped working" but was working fine a week ago...

On my desktop (Dell XPS 8300), I keep getting the error message "Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 has stopped working" when openng up a previously created project or trying to create a new one in Premiere Pro CS6.
On my laptop (MS Surface Pro 2), I can load projects and edit them, but I cannot export media. When I try, it just sits there and does nothing. I've also tried sending it to Media Encoder, but that doesn't help either. Sometimes, it crashes too.
I'm running Windows 8.1 on both with the latest updates installed.
Oddly, this started roughly around the same time on both computers.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing, but that didn't help.
I've run the Windows troubleshooter and that didn't help either.
I've tried running as an administrator, and running the program in compatibility mode for Windows 8, 7 and Vista - that doesn't solve the issue either.
At this point, I can't do any work and am even considering paying for CC even though I just dropped $700 on CS6 last year, but I'm wondering if that would even solve the issue, or if the CC version would also not work...

>started roughly around the same time on both computers
Most likely cause is a Windows update that changed "something" about the video system

Premiere pro 5.5 stops working when playing a sequence, saving a project or closing,any ideas why?

I can open a project, import files or other projects, but when I want to play the sequence the program stops working and closes. When I try to save the project or close the program I get a "software not responding" message.
I hope someone can help me with this as I cannot work on any projects.
thanks.

Hi john,
thanks for taking the time to help me. I have updated the software and rendered the files and now I am able to play them, but still neither the sequence nor the clip play/show on the corresponding screens, I can only hear the audio file. I also continue having problems when saving the project, the software stops working and I get the "non responding" error from microsoft.
As you suggested, and I have to say I am pretty much a dummy with the codecs and alike, I installed the mediainfo and run one of the files.
This is the info that appears on the screen
I am not getting any error messages from Premiere, so I am kind of stock. If you need other info let me know.
Thanks for your help and patience.

Error message Adobe Premiere Pro CC has stopped working

I am working from a PC with Windows 7 and an i7 intel CPU. Premiere was working just fine and then one day it decided to throw errors at me when I try to place a clip on the timeline. The program will start up fine and import video clips, but won't allow me to add the clips to the timeline without presenting the error message. I have tried updating the drivers through Intel (some other form suggested this) but no luck. I also tried updating Premiere with hope that would fix it. I then uninstalled and reinstalled the program and still no change.
Anyone else had this problem?
Any answers would be great!

I have just had the same thing happen to me too. Everything has been working fine but today, Premiere has crashed/stopped working twice. I have managed to get back into it now, but it won't playback either the Source or Program Monitors, saying there is a 'Low-level exception in Adobe Player (Player)'.

Here is my Speccy info: http://speccy.piriform.com/results/YidTg7uD20BVpMUkaIZ0vfg
Any help getting Premiere to work without having to disable those 2 graphics cards would be great, I'm useless without all my monitors!
Thanks,

After the Premier Pro CC update in early December, I was unable to start PP at all. (The subsequent upgrade didn't help.) During the startup process, the program would crash telling me that I needed to update my graphics card driver.
After a month -- about ten hours of remote operation of my computer by Adobe techs -- working with Adobe Support (knocked upstairs three times), they determined that the newest version of PPCC does not accept a dual graphics card configuration (it doesn't know which one to choose so determines that both cards are invalid).
Their solution was to revert my machine back to v7.0 and fill out a "Bug" report. I am to wait until they fix the problem before I allow an upgrade.

Premiere Pro/Prelude CS6 not working with AVCHD from Canon HF G10

I just tried switching from Final Cut Pro 7/X to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and have not been able to get Premiere Pro or Prelude to work with AVCHD footage from my Canon HF G10. The system runs Mac OS X 10.7.4 on a 3.4 GHz quad-core iMac with 16GB of RAM and 10Gbit/s Thunderbolt RAID for video storage. Adobe Updater ran yesterday and installed CSXS infrastructure updates which did not fix the problems.
After importing several short (less than 5 minutes each) 1080p30 clips into Premiere Pro, I can scrub over the first few seconds of a clip but afterwards it stalls or mixes in frames from the beginning of the clip. Rendering 30 seconds of video does not complete in reasonable time, i.e. takes more than 5 minutes. I figured I would try ingest the footage with Prelude and am running into the same problems. Scrubbing does not work, only the first few seconds from a clip are available. When configuring Prelude to transcode on ingest, I am getting "Import XMP failed" errors. I already spent several hours trying to figure this out. In the meantime, I finished the project using Final Cut Pro X :-\
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Niels.

Any chance this gets fixed soon? I'm shooting with an AF-100, and at this point I'm still using Final Cut to transcode my footage so I can have audio. I've also noticed the video jumps around even when it does have audio. Prelude has been extremely problematic for me, and it doesn't have a way to bring in clips that returned errors upon importing, I have to write down the clip numbers and bring them in individually. I've also tried just dropping the file structure from the card straight to the hard drive. It's a huge problem, and is keeping me from making the switch fully from FCP 7.

"Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working"

I got a copy of Premiere Elements 13 on "Black Friday" (one month ago). I am using stabilization and sometimes get "Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working". I have been guessing at the problem and run several experiments - one being; stabilize a clip in it's own project and create an MP4 to use in the final project. The latest clip seems to render fine, but crashes on playback (sometimes this happened on version 12 but not so consistently and often. I'm running 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium, with 6GB RAM, 3.30GHz, Intel Core i3 - 4 core processor. I use two monitors with the built-in video hardware. Rendering max's out all four cores while stabilization taxes the RAM. Where can I look to find out more details about this problem (only guessing with anything less)? Thanks for the help.

Ray
Thanks for the reply with further details and results.
The generalization is that you (manually) or the project (automatically) sets the project preset to match the properties of the source media.
But, if you have more than one format to import, you can still import that "atypical" format into the project (a project cannot have more than one project preset). But, the Shake Stabilizer will not stabilize it since it's properties do not match the description of the project preset. You can easily understand this by looking at the description of the project preset that has been set for the project and comparing it with specification of your video source. But, I have not yet found that such a situation creates a project/program "stopped working" as in shutting down the project/program.
I suspect a major factor when you run into a Shake Stabilized induced project/program shutdown is computer resource demands of the feature for the video which is requiring the stabilization. And, I have found that the stabilization times can be long.
Consequently, if the Shake Stabilizer does not cause the project/program to shutdown when asked to stabilize a video clip (without other effects). I am very guarded in the outcome, especially stabilization times, when the Shake Stabilizer is asked to stabilize a video clip to which other effects have already been applied.
We will looking forward to your results.
Thank you.

Adobe premiere elements 13 has stopped working message

Every time I open adobe premiere elements 13 and download any form of media, in about every 2-3 minutes when i'm editing my video, A message will come up stating that "Adobe Premiere Elements 13 has stopped working." It forces me to close the application. I went to a computer expert and he said that my computer meets all the requirements of the software and even exceeds some of them since it's only 2 years old. Why does this keep on happening to me and how do I fix it?

senseimike
Premiere Elements 13 on what computer operating system?
Have you updated 13 to 13.1 using an opened project's Help Menu/Update? If not, please do so.
Now the usual drill questions...
1. Do the problems exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you running the program as Administrator?
3. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
4. Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card. According
to the Device Manager/Display Adapters, how many video cards/graphics cards is your computer using? Are you running
a multi- monitor system?
5. Is the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer along with Premiere Elements 13/13.1?
6. What are the properties of your source media including file extension and duration? Knowing brand/model/settings of the camera that
recorded the videos is probably the quickest way to get at that needed information. What project preset are you (manually) or the project
(automatically) setting?
7. What specific edits are you doing in the project when the program crashes/shuts down? Is there any consistency to the "stopped working"?
You talk about every 2 or 3 minutes in the workflow. But what is the size of the project by the time the problems set in....2 or 3 minutes
from the time you started the project or 2 or 3 minutes after you have been working on the project for 10 to 90 minutes?
Please review and consider the above, and then we will decide what next.
Thank you.

Premiere Elements 10 has stopped working

Actually it has not worked yet.
I just installed the Premiere Elements 10 - again, followed all the details.
My laptop is Acer Iconia 6102 dual screen touchbook
Windows 7, Intel Core i5 CPU M480@ 2.67GHz, sys mem= 4gb
Toshiba MK6465GSX disk drive, Intel HD Gaphics
The computer is new.
The dialogue says that Premiere Elements 10 has stopped working and will shut down.

This machine has only the one drive listed, nothing hidden. 512 gb free, removed some unecessary files. I did manual updates for the hardware and all software, everything is up to date. Went through the preceeding steps. There was no need to scan suorce files, I have nothing uploaded. The program will not complete its startup. The splash page pops up,dialogue flashes all the drivers and files being loaded, then quits. Does not open. The Organizer opens, but I still cant get PE to open thru it either. My computer wont allow me to change resolution. Could the fact that this machine is touch screen, dual display have anything to do with it? Using up too much resources? The resuorce monitor is idle @ 0. My Windows Movie Maker works fine.
