Premiere pro CS4 stops loading at Loading Windows media (splash screen)

I have 4.2.1 and for some reason when i load the program it stops at Loading Windows media (splash screen). I cant edit anything if it wont open and I have a project to finish.. Can some one help me? This is on Vista Ultimate. I have 12g of ram, a i7 950 (3.06Ghz)
Thanks.

After an uninstall, you also need to run the clean script 2-3 times, rebooting between runs, to be sure all remnants are removed from the Registry

Adobe Media Encoder for Premiere Pro CS4 stops working on the same frame every time...

I currently have Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 and have never had these issues exporting before. My timeline is less than 3 minutes long, but it does deal with multiple big files. It rendered perfectly and it plays perfectly in the timeline. When I try to export it using Media Encoder, however, it freezes at the same frame every time (which is actually only a few seconds in!) and then crashes, so that I have to force quit. I have tried exporting it as many different codecs and the problem persists... same frame. I tried creating a new project entirely and whipping together a few titles and exporting that to see if it just won't export anything at all. The new project exported just fine, however, which I suppose is good news. But yeah, my work on that other project is very important to me and I reallllly want to export it. Please help!

Hi Jim! Thank you for your reply. I think you are right -- and that it lies in the audio somehow!
It turns out that if I choose to only export the video, and uncheck audio, it will export very well and smoothly. That's great news for me!
However, now I am trying to work out how to get the audio exported without issues. I actually had the idea of just playing the audio in the timeline and recording it via Stereo Mix, but my Windows 7 driver has Stereo Mix disabled, so it's back to square one. Any ideas of what I can do about the corrupted audio not exporting, which works fine when played in the timeline?

Premiere Pro CS4 on Mac: Can't play media anymore

Hi experts,
I'm in huge trouble with my Premiere Pro CS4 (latest version, all updates installed) on the Mac platform:
Until I tried to record an audio track with the built-in microphone, everything worked fine. But since then, Premiere Pro is unsuable . It won't play any media file (video or audio) anymore: whenever I try to start the playback (no matter what media and no matter in which monitor) Premiere just does nothing at all.
The problem exists since Premiere Pro crashed when I tried to record audio with the built in mic. I can reproduce the crash when ever I try to capture audio again: the error message points to line 2329 in the module "CoreAudioHost.cpp" (to be precise: /Ironside/4.0/MediaCore/MediaLayer/AudioSupport/Macke/Mac/../../Src/Mac/CoreAudioHost.cpp -2329)
I reinstalled the application but the problem still exists. And I checked all the settings in the preferences panel -- but they seem to be alright.
I really have no idea what to do. Hopefully, anybody of you has?
Any help would be gladly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Bob,
no, it's not a Beta, it's the full version of PPro as it comes bundled within my Master's Collection of CS4. And I'm not using any 3rd party plugins either.
I don't think that the file is present on our machines, Bob. The file extension ".cpp" seems to me like a reference to the source code file (written in the programming language C++, since this is what "cpp" stands for). I have a programming background, and therefore I think, the error message isn't meant to be useful for the end user (like us) but for the engineers while they're developing.
But today, I could narrow down my problem a bit. The playback is working again: the problems were caused by some messed up audio *output* settings. I think, PPro messed them up when it crashed several times. I reset them all and now the playback works fine again.
However, I still can't record: neither with Soundbooth CS4 nor with PPro. The software won't recognize my *input* settings. The error message I gave in my previous post still occurs as soon as I press the little microphone button in PPro's Audio Mixer. And Soundbooth just does *nothing* at all when I try to record. But every other tool (iMovie, Audacity) works fine with my Mac.
As a workaround, I record my audio with Audacity, import the file to PPro and be up and running. But if somebody of you has faced similar problems, I would appreciate your solutions.
Regards and Thank you

Premiere pro CS4 crashes after project loads, any suggestions?

It used to just crash and I would just open premiere back up and it would eventually load and be ok. Usually would take two tries to load. But now it is actually crashing my computer! I can get it to load after several tries, but waiting for my computer to reboot isn't cool! I'm running XP proffesional.
Thanks in advance

Bill,
Thanks for the advice. Today I went to work on the project it opened fine but then it crashed 3 times on me.
First time I tried top replace a small clip in Audition and it worked fine UNTIL it sent it back to Premiere then crashed.
Second time I clicked on another window. The projects froze and tried to rebuild the peaks of the large file.
'My computer specs are:
Intel E5530 @ 2.40 GHZ 2 processors. 64 Bit. With 1TB of memory.
I have Windows 7.
I used the "HIGH PERFORMANCE PLAN" under power usuage.
Does anybody know what could be causing this?! It's so unbelieveably frustrating.

Premiere Pro CS4 Sequence Error? (Timeline Window says No sequence, Program Window says no sequence)

Hey, I was trying to edit a bunch of .mpg files together, in a new project file, in a sequence 01, and all the primary editing windows came up, and while I can easily get the source window to recognize sequence 01, both the timeline and the program window say no sequence and dragging sequence 01 or any of the .mpg videos does nothing.
Since I can't even see the timeline of this I can't edit, so if someone could help me as soon as possible that would be great

Double click any sequence in the bin to open it.
This kind of basic functionality is pretty well covered in the Help file. I recommend reading it all the way through before you use Premiere.

Premiere Pro CS5 and After Effects CS5 crash after splash screen

Im am fed up with this ive done everything i can and no one seems to know whats wrong, i installed CS5 on my macbook and imac i7, and they both worked for a while but then suddenly my imac i7 cs5 stopped working and kept crashing, my macbook continues to work just fine, ive even done a system reinstally and reinstalled os x and yes it would work for a little and then stop, they both have the same programs, whats weird is when i create a new user with admin privileges on my imac it would work fine but i deleted some files in the main account trying to fix the problem and no it wont work in the second account so here i am doing a system reinstally one last time. i called adobe they were no help at all literally, i called apple they did as much as they could i mean apple really made me feel like they tried, so here i am can anyone help?

Ok so i figured it out, the problem is my downloaded fonts from the internet. What sucks is that adobe cs4 applications ran perfectly fine with them, but now cs5 doesnt . I uninstalled my downloaded fonts and guess what?! it worked! I wonder why cs4 starts up with no problems with the same fonts and cs5 cant, thats just stupid...

Windows 7 X64 & Premiere pro CS4 issues

Hi All,
I have a Dell Precision 690 with a clean install of Windows 7 X64 and a new (1st time) install of Production Suite CS3 (excluding Premeiere Pro CS3 and Encore CS3) and a new (1st time) install of Premiere Pro CS4 with Encore CS4.
After starting a new HD project (1920 x 1080 29.98) if I try to open any (old or new) sequence, the program does a "serious error" hicup and has to shut down.
Everytime I run Premiere Pro CS4 and try to load a project previously saved to the raid array that was created under XP Pro 32bit (previous life) I get this message saying that the scratch discs are write protected and would I like to change to the default (C drive) location for scratch discs. Within the original project the scartch disc was the external raid array. I can access that raid no problem from windows explorer and read and write to it. Also all the clips within the project are read from the raid so I don't get it. Anyone come across anything like this before?

try opening the project, clicking OK when it tells you that the scratches are write protected, and then when it opens, go to the top menu bar and click Project > project settings > Scratch discs and re-point your scratches to the location you want them. Save, and you should be good to go.

Premiere Pro CS4 disables aero on launch inWin 7 64Bit

Hi all,
I have an odd problem, I've just received my copy of Win 7 Signature edition and I have installed Adobe Preimiere Pro CS4, but when I launch the application it disables my Aero theme!
I've been running win7RC1 (buld 7100) for the last few months and never had the problm with Premiere Pro CS4 in that.
For some reason, now running premiere pro cs4 is causing the Windows 7 Desktop Window Manager to stop running.
I know this because I can run premiere, it then disables aero, then i run the aero troubleshooting (with premiere still running) and it will re-enable aero (by restarting the desktop window manager) and then tell me the desktop windows manager is disabled.
Does anyone know why Premiere Pro CS4 is disabling the Desktop Window Manager when it first runs and how I can stop it from turning off Aero?
I don't want aero turned off and have to manually turn it back on with the troubleshooter!
I also have version 4.0.1 of CS4 so I've done the Adobe updates. I also have the latest NVidia drivers for my 8800GT (downloaded 2 days ago)

Sometimes the latest drivers aren't the best ones. Just recently I had to rollback a new version of the drivers for my GTX260. The NEXT version that EVGA put out worked well. I really suspect a driver issue there.
BTW, how much RAM are you running? I was STUNNED the other day to see that my GTX260 which is an 896MB video card was using 4GB of shared system memory. I have 12GB and I'm OK usualy, but wow-WEE that's a big hit. So see what your card is doing... it may be eating a lot os sys mem with the new drivers, therefore causing 7 to think you are running on an under-powered PC.
Remember, it's alway better to go to your Card manufacturer for drivers, such as EVGA, PNY, etc, as opposed to going to Nvidia.com.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 crashes

My Premiere Pro CS4 crashes while It loads the workspace and then automatically close.
I had this problem before and there was a solution but i saved it as my favourites and it no longer exist because of the new forums.
Damn Adobe

I do not know the older article, but THIS ONE might give you tips on gathering "clues," as to what is going on, when PrPro shuts down.
You say that all of your drivers are updated - double-check, as this is a very common cause.
Good luck,

Media Pending with Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

First of all guys, I know this is not a brand new issue but please help me out as am providing details. Thank you.
I have JVC Everio jvc everio gz-hd5 60GB camcorder. As you probably know that it records file into .TOD format, I converted them into .MPG format. This is how I am importing to Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 before it's showing me golden little screen displaying PENDING MEDIA forever.
1. Import -> new project
2. Capture format -> HDV
3. Available Preset -> HDV108030p
Operating system detail
Microsoft XP Pro Version 2002 Service pack 3
2.19 GHZ, 1.99GB RAM, Intel core 2 duo CPU
p.s - I read some forums but the way they explained is too confusing.

I dont think I have enough info about your computers and hard drives and so on to tell if you can really edit HD stuff , but at this point you should really convert the TOD file first anyway. I don't think just renaming the extension will make it work OK, but I found some info on the internet that might help you convert to a more editor friendly format...
Standard definition video is stored in MPEG program stream container files with MOD extension; in most other systems these files have extension MPG or MPEG. High definition video is stored in MPEG transport stream container files with TOD extension; in most other systems these files have M2T extension.[2] Transport stream files can be converted into more common program stream files without recompressing the video itself. For example, FFmpeg, a free software program, performs the conversion on Windows and Linux systems with the following command: ffmpeg -i myclip.TOD -acodec copy -vcodec copy myclip.mpg. Software, included with TOD camcorders, performs this conversion as part of capture process. A similar command is used for MOD files: ffmpeg -i myClip.MOD -vcodec copy -acodec ac3 -ab 384k myClip.mpg -acodec mp2 -ab 192k -newaudio.
You Gspot screenshot is good, and it shows that it doesn't recognize anything about the codec and codec name..the right side of the GSpot is usually full of information about the video file...like the frame size, FPS , aspect ratio, and so on. As you can see from the above paragraph you would probably benefit from converting the TOD file using FFmpeg or some other program like streamclip ( also free program )
That's your first step I think...
You will have to know what your video file is...from the camera manual you can find out the frame size and fps used, whether it is progressive or interlaced, etc... The reason you will need to know about your video file is because when you open the TOD file in a program like streamclip to convert it, you will want to convert it to basically the same specs, but with as a different "codec" and file type....but keep the same video characteristics as the original.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 crashes on load with project

When I try to load my CS4 projects the application crashes with the error:
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
I have my hard drive partitioned: C drive for my OS; D drive for my data; and I also have an external hard drive which is H. I installed Adobe Premiere on my D drive and saved all the my project files and data on my external drive H. A couple weeks ago I got a virus and I wiped out my C drive. So, I reinstalled Windows XP. After reinstalling XP and getting my machine back up and running I removed Premiere Pro CS4 from my D drive and installed it on my C:drive. I connected my external drive to my computer and Windows assigned the drive letter F to my external. I launched my project file and it said it could not find my data and it crashed with the above message. I opened my project file in a text editor and I saw that file path was H:\... for all my data so I reassigned the drive back to H hoping that was the reason for the crash. Much to my chagrin it was not as I try opening the project file now and it finds all the files but it still crashes. I'm all out of ideas at this point. Is there a log file that I can look at to try to troubleshoot this any further? Has anyone seen this happen before? Should I reinstall Adobe Premiere Pro? I am under a time crunch here as I need to open this project and make some edits.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
-Jeff

Jeff,
The Page File is MS Windows' "virtual memory." It gets activity, when physical RAM is not available. Especially with video editing, this happens a lot. It can be set via Control>Panel>System. Windows can either dynamically create and size the file, as is necessary, or it can be set to provide the necessary size statically - always the same, and is *usually* set to ~ 2.5x the physical RAM.
With one physical HDD, that is partitioned, you have about 4-5 operations going on at the same time, and your I/O system is basically telling the heads of your HDD to be in different places/platters at this same time. Unfortunately, this is impossible, and one gets system hangs, sluggish performance, crashes or worse.
There are several good threads on suggested HDD setups for NLE work on this forum. I'd step back a level, so you get all Premiere forums, and search for some of these articles. There are a lot of worthwhile suggestions for number, type, connection and configuration of HDD's.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CS6 stopped loading correctly - will not load new or existing projects?

It's been about a month since was last editing a project succesfully. When I try to load a new or existing projecet, I get the error message "Adobe premiere pro has stopped working. Windows is searching for a solution..." But there is no solution given, it just closes. I have tried updating my NVIDIA driver with no luck. I am running on Windows 8.1 64 bit. Anyone else have a similar problem?

Thanks for your reply, GautamBahl.
So I did have two graphics cards running, disabled the onboard one and still did not work.
I created a new admin account on my PC, and I am able to create a new project in Premiere now (am not able to while signed into my original account). Since all of my files and settings are on my original Windows account, I would like to get it working on that account. Do my findings give any indication as to how to fix the problem so that I am able to run Premiere signed in to my normal user account?
I appreciate the feedback!

Premiere PRO CS4 " unexpectedly quit error" since loaded Sorenson squeeze 8.5 is there a bug fix

Premiere PRO CS4 " unexpectedly quit error" since loaded Sorenson squeeze 8.5 is there a bug fix

CS4 is old, and there will be no more updates, past the ones on the update site
All Adobe updates start here and select product, read to see if you need to install updates in number order, or if the updates are cumulative for the individual product http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates/
Ask Sorenson if 8.5 is even supposed to work with CS4

Problem loading premiere pro cs4

Hello everyone,
I've been trying to open premiere pro cs4 and everytime it gets to "Loading AAF.prm" it unexpectedly quits.I was able to open it before, but recently, I've been getting this problem. Has anyone encountered this problem? Do I have to uninstall the program and reinstall to fix the problem?
Please advice.
Thank you.

Actually, partitions present themselves to the OS as physical HDD's, and the OS cannot understand why it's taking so long to get reads/writes. They are hold-overs from OS's many generations back. Other than some esoteric backup schemes, there is no reason to utilize them A program, like Partition Magic, will help rid your system of those.
I do agree that a minimum of 3 fast HDD's is the minimum for Video editing. More, properly allocated, will be better.
Now, with 6x HDD's, I have many Projects with a lot more Clips, and no issues.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CS4 (Windows 7) will not (Capture or Record) connect with DV Cass Recorder

For 12 yrs I've Never had a problem w Adobe Prem Pro seeing my Panasonic AG-DV2000, DV cassette Recorder. Premiere Pro CS4 (with Windows 7 Ultimate) will not connect (Capture or Record)with my DV Cassette Recorder - Panasonic AG-DV2000. I upgraded my computer to below components & added Windows 7 at same time. Have had Adobe Prem Pro CS4 since fall with no problems. I usually have 2 - 5 videos, with 2 - 4 audios, going at same time on my timeline. (These digital videos & audios I shot myself professionally with mini DV cassettes.)
