Premiere Pro CS5.5 stürzt bei "importieren" ab

Hallo zusammen
Nach erfolglosem Suchen in unmengen Foren habe ich nun beschlossen hier zu fragen.
Ich habe einen iMac und mit der Software auf dem neusten Stand (OSX 10.9).
Ich arbeite seit einiger Zeit an einem Kurzfilm in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 und es hat bis heute einwandfrei funktioniert. Nun wollte ich heute noch einmal ein paar Filmdateien importieren, doch als ich auf "importieren" geklickt habe kam eine Fehlermeldung, in der stand, dass ein schwerwiegender Fehler aufgetreten ist und Adobe Premiere Pro nun beendet werden muss. Das geht nun jedes mal so, sogar wenn ich ein neues Projekt erstelle kann ich nichts mehr importieren. Ich habe Premiere Pro auf 5.5.2 geupdatet, hat aber nichts bewirkt.
Ist das jemandem von euch auch schon passiert oder wisst ihr zufälligerweise wo das Problem liegt und wie man es beheben kann?
Vielen Dank im voraus.

Stürzt das Programm beim Klick auf Importieren ab oder erst beim Import?
Es kann gut sein, dass diverse Filme mit bestimmten Codecs nicht importiert werden können und einen Absturz verursachen. Zum Beispiel exotische mp4/AVI Dateien mit mehr oder weniger nur für Windows geeigneten Einstellungen.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 zeigt beim Exportieren von Medien Hinweisfenster

    Hallo @ll,
    heute habe ich in Premiere Pro CS5 meinen ersten Film bearbeitet. Als ich den Film exportieren wollte unter Datei --> Exportieren --> Medien, geht als erstes ein Hinweisfenster auf. "Für diese Version von Premiere Pro ist ein Adobe Media Encoder-Update verfügbar. Um das neuste Update herunterzuladen, starten Adobe Updater über das Hilfemnü oder besuchen Sie die Seite xxxxxxx Update Seite von Adobe.
    Ich habe aber alle Programme von CS5 auf den neusten Stand. Adobe Premiere Pro Version 5.0.3 und Adobe Medi Encoder Version 5.0.1.0 64 bit.
    Wenn ich auf OK klicke schließt sich das Fenster und ich kann, wenn denn Adobe Premiere Pro nicht abstürzt, den Film exportieren.
    Mein System ist Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, Speicher 12 GB.
    Kann mir evtl jemand helfen wie ich das Hinweisfenster abgeschaltet bekomme.
    Viele Dank im voraus.

    Hallo Carlos,
    den Fehler kannst du wie folgt beheben.
    Gehe in den Ordner wo Adobe Media Encoder liegt. Bei mir ist es C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Media Encoder.
    Erstelle vom Media Encoder Programm eine Verknüpfung auf dein Desktop. Diese Verknüpfung kopierst du dann direkt in den Ordner von Adobe Premiere Pro CS5. Die Verknüpfung vom Desktop kannst du danach wieder löschen.
    Dann funktioniert alles und Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 startet ohne diese Meldung.
    Der Fehler muss bei mehreren aufgetreten sein. Adobe hat extra dafür ein Ticket eröffnet.
    Ich hoffe ich konnt dir helfen.

  • Audio Export und andere Probleme Premiere Pro CS5

    Ich habe folgende Probleme mit Premiere Pro CS5:
    1. Sobald ich eine Sequenz exportiere (egal welches Format, auch wav als nur Audio) scheint der Ton verschoben. Ich habe Interviews zusammengeschnitten und die Schnittpunkte sind nicht so, wie ich sie in Premiere höre. Es ist, als wäre der Ton um ein paar Frames verschoben. Ebenso sind knackser im Audio zu hören, die ich in Premiere nicht höre. Woran liegt das?
    2. Ich hatte mehrere mp3 in Premiere importiert. Die Arbeitsspeicherauslastung stieg auf 7,32 GB (8GB installiert), der Computer wurde langsam und Premiere reagierte nicht mehr. Die Festplatte schrieb andauend Daten in C/Benutzer/../AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Premiere/5.0/metadataCaches. Nachdem ich die Files in wav umgewandelt hatte und die mp3s ersetz hatte funktionierte alles einwandfrei. Premiere Pro CS5 scheint ein ernsthaftes Problem mit Audio Files zu haben, die ich bei 2.0 nicht festgestellt habe.
    3. Woran liegt es, dass ich, wenn ich HD Files mit quadratischen Pixeln als mpeg2 für eine DVD raus rechnen will schwarze Ränder an den Seiten erscheinen. Stimmt da etwas mit der Umrechnung von 1920x1080 auf PAL nicht? FinalCut hat das Problem nicht.
    4. Wenn ich eine Sequenz von Premiere in After Effects sende habe ich zwar eine Komposition in After Effects aber leider keinen Inhalt. Woran liegt das?
    Vielen Dank für eine schnelle Antwort,

  • Keine Sprachanalyse in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5

    Hallo @ll,
    ein neues Problem mit der Sprachanalyse in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.
    Da ich gerade einen Workshop durcharbeite und laut dem Workshopbuch eine Sprachanalyse einer WAV-Datei ausprobieren wollte, habe ich festgestellt das Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 diese Sprachanalyse nicht durchführt.
    Ich lade die WAV-Datei, makiere sie und gehe dann im Arbeitsbereich Metaprotokollierung auf Analysieren. Laut dem Buch muss sich der  Media Encoder öffnen und mit der analyse beginnen.
    Das ist bei mir nicht der Fall.Es wird nur kurz  (5 sec.) der Arbeitsbereich deaktiviert, der Media Encoder wird nicht geöffnet und nach der kurzen Zeit ist der Arbeitsbereich wieder aktiv.
    Im Analysefenster steht garnichts, dass ist leer.
    Weiß jemand einen Rat?
    Danke im voraus

    Hallo Mylenium,
    danke für deine Antwort.  Es waren keine ordinären Permissions-Probleme und der Kremperl ist auch richtig installiert.
    Es lag einfach nur an der Tatsache das Premiere Pro den Media Encoder nicht fand. Dieses Problem trat auch erst nach einem Update auf, ich vermute mal das vom Media Encoder.

  • Problem mit After Effects und Premiere Pro CS5.5

    Hallo Liebe Adobe Community, ich bin neu hier. Derzeit habe ich folgendes Problem:
    Dieses taucht auf, wenn ich entweder Adobe After Effects oder Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 starte. Die beiden Produkte habe ich gestern als Testversion auf Adobe.de heruntergeladen. Ich habe diese auch wirklich nur als Testversion Installiert!. Am anfang ging es auch, sobald ich aber meinen Pc gestern neu gestartet hatte kam dieser Fehler. Als erstes habe ich alle Daten von beiden Programmen enternt, vohher aber Deinstalliert. Danach wieder neu Installiert, Pc wieder runter und hoch das selbe Problem. Danach habe ich es auf meine 2. Festplatte Installiert, genau der gleiche fehler!.
    Ich bitte um eure Hilfe, da ich diese beiden Produkte gerne Testen möchte!
    Falls es wichtig ist:
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    8GB Ram
    Nvidia Geforce 570gtx mit 1,25gb
    1x 1TB Festplatte
    1x 2TB Festplatte
    Danke für eure hilfe.
    Falls es hier nicht klappt, bitte via Skype: mkowsl89

    LetsPlayNeromo!

    Danke, aber das hatt es nicht gebracht. Kommt immer noch. Das witzige ist, nachdem Windows hochgefahren ist, sind die 2 Produkte nicht mehr komplett Installiert.. es fehlen Daten. Bei Photoshop ist das nicht so, nur bei diesen. Das seh ich wenn ich auf: Computer-> Deinstallieren und Entfernen gehe. Alle Symbole und Größen der Programme stimmen, bis auf die oben genannten Programme...

  • ältere Datei nicht kompatibel mit Premiere Pro CS5?

    Hallo,
    mein Problem ist folgendes:
    ich habe ein Projekt mit einer älteren Premiere Pro Version angefertigt und wollte diese mit der CS5 Version öffnen und dran weiterarbeiten. Nun kommt folgende Fehlermeldung:
    --Dieses Projekt enthält eine Sequenz, die nicht geöffnet werden konnte. Diesem Sequenztyp konnten keine Vorgabedatei zur Sequenzvorschau oder ein Codec zugeordnet werden.---
    Was kann ich jetzt tun, ich kann die Datei nicht öffnen.

  • I had to re-install Premiere Pro CS5 and now video are files acting funny...

    Hello. I had to reformat my system drive and did a fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit and then I did an anytime upgrade to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I then re-installed Premiere Pro CS5. Here's the problem. When I open any of my projects that I worked on BEFORE I re-installed Premiere (when I was using Windows 7 Home Premium), the video files on the timeline all look corrupted when I play the timeline now. They have these weird block artifacts and also a constant pulsing thing going on. I deleted all the media cache files and all the media cache database files but, nothing changed even though Premiere conformed every single video file in the project again. Then, I went to "Sequence" and hit "Render Entire Work Area" and after Premiere was finished rendering, I noticed the artifacts and pulsing are completely gone BUT, the video files look like a VHS tape that has been recorded over a few times. The edges of people and things in focus aren't nice and sharp like they were before I re-installed Premiere. I DO NOT have the time or patience to have to delete all the video files and import them again into the project and re-edit the entire scene! Can someone please help me resolve this problem?! I am about done with Premiere!
    Is there a way to delete the video source files that are on the left side of the timeline (next to the "Source" window, where they got imported into the project) without deleting the edited video files on the timeline and then re-import the same source video files into the project, kind of like "refreshing" the video files? If this is possible, it seems like this would fix the problem without me having to re-edit everything again.
    *Update*  My idea of just re-importing the source video clip won't work either. I deleted one of the source video clips, which deleted its reference clip on the timeline, and I re-imported the video source clip to see if it would play all weird in Premiere and sure enough, it has the same exact block artifacts and pulsing effect like all the other source clips in the project. It seems that if that's the case, it might be a codec problem. But, that doesn't make sense because if I open the clip on my hard drive with Windows Media Player or Allplayer, the clips plays perfectly fine and looks like it is supposed to. So, it must be a codec problem in Premiere??? Could it be that Premiere Pro CS5 doesn't work well with Windows 7 Professional? I find that hard to believe. Can someone please help me?
    By the way, all the video clips in the project are from my Panasonic GH1 or my Panasonic GH2. They are all 1080p/24 AVCHD. I even made a new sequence within the same project making sure the sequence settings are AVCHD 1080p 24 and still nothing is fixed.

    Have you tried exporting a 10 second section of the footage to see if the issue shows up once the seqeunce is actually exported from the timeline. I edit on CS5 with windows 7 pro at work quite often and have no issues so I assure you that isn't the issue. I also edit with AVCHD footage when at home and work quite freqeuntly as well so I'm positive that isn't the issue. It sounds like a GPU driver has been corrupted in the way it interacts with premiere pro. What type of GPU do you have? If it supports MPE's GPU acceleration have you tried turning it off and seeing if that makes any difference?
    Anyways though try to export a 10 second test section of your timeline to see if when the clip is exported from premiere it will play normally in windows media player or vlc or w/e media player you want to use. If it exports fine then you can almost be positive it's a corrupted video card driver. If that's the case I'd re-install your GPU's driver and also check your gpu makers website to see if they have a updated driver avaiable.

  • Error Importing Premiere Elements project into Premiere Pro CS5

    Hi,
    I am working on a multi-part video project that I started in Premiere Elements 8.  I put in hours upon hours of editing on the first part and I found that the more I edited, the more often the program would crash (infuriating!).  So I started using Premiere Pro CS5 to produce the second part, resolving to come back to the first part later.  Well, I've come back around to needing this first part done, and it is just undoable in Elements (crashes every 20 seconds!).  I'd like to import that project into CS5 if possible.  The help documentation says this should be perfectly possible... but I'm having no luck.
    When I attempt to open my Premiere Elements project in Premiere Pro, it tells me the project must be converted from Elements .prel to Pro .prproj, and I click through the prompts as normal.  But then as soon as it starts trying to open the project, I get this:
    "The Project could not be loaded. It may be damaged or contain outdated elements."
    I downloaded the Premiere Elements 9 trial to see if it would be less crashy (and it is), but I'd really prefer to have all my video in one program, and CS5 does the best job (and has most of my hours invested).  Elements 9 opens the "damaged" project just fine and I can edit and export normally, so why can't CS5?
    Am I stuck recreating the project from the ground up in CS5?

    In very general terms, a contemporary PrE Project (PREL), will Open in PrPro, with the steps that you outlined.
    Now, there are all sorts of considerations, for aspects that will not likely work:
    Instant Movie/Themes, as PrPro cannot read those
    Some Effects that PrPro does not have, like the NewBlue FX
    Some Transitions that PrPro does not have
    Some Title animation Presets, that PrPro does not have
    Do you have any of the above in your PrE Project? There are probably other circumstances, but those are all that come immediately to my mind.
    The simpler the PrE Project, the greater the likelyhood that it will Convert to a PrPro PRPROJ file.
    PrE 8 and PrPro CS5 should be close enough to work, again in those general terms. I can Open simple PrE 4.0 Projects in PrPro 2.0, but cannot Open PrE 7, 8 or 9 Projects in PrPro 2.0.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premiere Elements project imported into Premiere Pro CS5.5 becomes unusable after first save

    I have Premiere Pro CS5.5, and I have been trying for some time to successfuly edit an old project that was originally created in Premiere Elements (not sure which version--probably 7.0). It has the .prel extension. The project imports just fine, and I am able to edit it initially. However, if I save my new Premiere Pro project, close Pr and try to open the new project again, I get the "The project could not be loaded, it may be damaged or contain outdated elements." error message. I have tried many of the various project recovery suggestions people have made in this forum and elsewhere online, but none of them seem to work. I even opened the project in XML Wrench, but there were no errors returned when I clicked "check is well formed." Once I close the project after doing some initial editing, it is gone. Is this a known issue? Is there any way I can be able to edit the old project in Pr and save my work? Thanks!

    Have you tried using the project manager to re-copy all elements and timeline etc into a totally new directory. I'm just curious to see if that would make a difference. I'd be intrested to see if when making a new project in this manor if it would because as you have stated the normal save methods haven't.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 Playback and Performance Issues

    I upgraded (2) separate editing work stations to CS5 from CS4 about a month ago. I moved from 4 to 5 to try and get rid of some problems which both work stations were encountering.
    The problems since the upgrade are similiar: playback from timeline has intermittent audio drop out and video going to black during playback, (new one)-video locked up but audio kept playing-system hung and had to be rebooted.
    Also, when clicking around on the timeline or scrubbing the timeline, Premiere crashes.
    This type of performance on playout or timeline usage is consistent on both machines which have indentical setups and builds. None of this happens all the time but happens enough to causes problems with workflow. We edit on the work stations, dub files to playback system for air, and use a shared server to move files back and forth as needed but files are always stored locally instead of using straight from server.
    These machines are:
    Premiere Pro CS5.02
    OS  WIndows 7 Pro 64 bit
    12 GB Ram, DDR3-1333 (6-2GB modules)
    CPU Intel Xeon Quad Core [email protected] GHZ, 2 processors, 8 MB Cache

    (3) 1 TB SATA 2 hard drives, 7200RPM, 32 MC (3 TB, RAID0 STorage) 2.16 TB of space avail
    Nvidia GE Force 9800 GT Graphics card, DUAL DVI, 1 GB
    REaltek High Def Audio, Drivers 6.0.1.5953
    (1) monitor in use
    output of system runs to ADVC-700 breakout box to feed playback system
    I have all of my software installed on C: (309 GB of 500 GB avail)
    I have all of my videos files stored on D: (Raid Storage with 2.16 TB of 3 TB avail)
    The only changes I've made since installing CS5 would be to change the auto save from 20 minutes to 60 minutes. Don't know if an auto save would cause an issue on playback as I've noted above.
    I'm not a computer whiz by any stretch of the imagination but I can follow directions if given for testing/eval.

    Do the PPBM5 Benchmark and send the results to me by PM, in addition to sending the results to Bill as indicated. I'll have a look at what might be going on here.

      i've been using Premiere Pro for about a year and a half with no trouble, no crashes that i can remember.   I updated to 5.0.4 when it came out and experienced no problems.
    I have not made any changes to my system (drivers, programs, etc.) since the last time i worked with Premiere Pro with no trouble.  The only  difference is that i generated approx. 52GB of new video files (mov. uncompressed 32bit 640x480 resolution) that i was beginning to edit in to a music video.
    My current problem is:: there is absolutely no playback of video in 5.0.4.   not in the tiny project window preview,  not in the source preview, and not in the timeline/canvas window.   when i push PLAY, the button turns into a square STOP button, but nothing happens.   this is independent of project or file type.  The project i was working on when playback stopped is using uncompressed 640x480 32bit Quicktime files and one 44khz/16bit .AIFF file.   as a quick doublecheck, I just added a 640x480 Apple Intermediate Codec file and it also will not play back.   I opened older projects and none of them will playback.
    My problem started while i was working on a project.  I was working on the project for probably an hour and a half with no trouble.  Then it seemed to get a bit sluggish and i could hear the HD churning a little more.   After rendering out a short section (just under 10 seconds), PPro did not play back the just rendered (now greenline) section.  Immediate playback of rendered material was the default behavior, and this was the first time ever that the just rendered section did not play back.   I then discovered that no video would play back at all--in any of the windows.   I can scrub through all the video without any trouble--all the frames are there.  
    I shut down PPro, & restarted.  No change.   I restarted my computer.  No change. 
    Realizing that the problem was likely related to a lack of space on my data drive,  i deleted approx. 500GB of files off my 2 TB drive, leaving just under a 1/3 of it free.  i checked the drive for errors, and defragmented it.  Premiere Pro still wouldn't play any file from any project.
    The files are fine, they will playback anywhere else (several different file types involved in different projects).  The files are compatible with Premiere Pro (uncompressed VGA resolution Quicktime .mov), i was editing on the timeline with them for hours before all video playback stopped.   All other Adobe programs  (After Effects, Photoshop work fine).
    I tried to find an answer/solution on these forums, unsuccessfully.   After uninstalling PPro and reinstall (did not help), and entire Suite uninstall, Adobe Clean, and reinstall,  neither version 5.0.0 or 5.0.4 will play video --the no playback problem has persisted.
    I was running out of HD space --i had less room than i thought -- down to about 7% of free space, a bone-headed move on my part.  I'm not  surprised that playback performance got compromised due to lack of space.   But i'm shocked that the problem is persisting.   Fortunately, i had just backed up my entire system the day before.  (i've backed up many times before and this never affected PPro performance)
    i tried to "CLEAN" the media cache for the sequence but it had no effect  (in searching the forums, i saw somebody else have their 'crashing Premiere Pro' problem solved by hitting this button).  I just took a look in the user/application support/adobe/common/5.0 to look at the "Media Cache" folder and the "Media Cache Files" folder.   Neither of them are empty, even after hitting the CLEAN cache button in the main preferences 'Media' settings window.   I don't know if this is the correct behavior or not.   (i'd expect a "clean" command to empty the folder, but i'm not the programmer)
    This does not appear to be the ATI/5.0 problem that so many Mac users suffered (i was lucky to never have that problem).    Again, i've never had any problems with Premiere Pro over the last year and a half, until working on this latest project with the Hard Drive very low on space.   I'm 99.9% positive that's at the heart of the issue.
    I don't understand why a clean reinstall did not help in this regard.  The problem is clearly PPro specific.   I found one topic in the forum where someone else experienced this same "no video playback" problem, but there was never follow-up from the user saying whether or not his problem was solved (or what was done to correct the problem).
    I'd love to get some help--- seems to be a very rare issue, but right now, i can do no video editing.  btw,  i started a new project as well and imported a .mov file -- same problem, no video playback.
    the weird thing is that i can actually still edit video.  i just rearranged my timeline assets and rendered out a minute-long quicktime (Apple Intermediate Codec) .mov and it looks and plays as it should.    This is really weird.  I'm baffled -- there must be some way to fix this.   I don't want to have to go back to Final Cut,  certainly not when i've already paid for Create Suite 5 Production Premium and EVERYTHING works except for video playback in PrPro.
    thanks in advance for your help

    hello.   hey, thanks very much for writing back.  i got some good info with a search or two.  (info about what regedit is and what corresponds to it in OS X -- regedit allows you to edit "preference" keys for individual programs,  OSX's equivalent for these keys are the .plists in User & System: Preferences and Application Support)
    what i ended up doing was uninstalling Premiere Pro (not the suite, just PPro).   Then i deleted a few preference files:
    from User /Preferences/Adobe:
    com.adobe.AdobePremierePro.plist
    com.Adobe.Premiere Pro.5.0.plist
    and from System Preferences:
    the file:  Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs
    and..
    /.../Premiere Pro/5.0/...
    AMEPrefs.xml     (i noticed that there's also a preference file in Media Encoder's own folder so i didn't sweat this one)
    Debug Database.txt
    Placeholder Preset.epr
    PostEncodeCmds.pref
    PresetCache.xml
    Trace Database.txt
    NOTE:
    of course i don't know if deleting any files beyond the 2 .plist files in User Prefs was necessary, but...  it seems to have worked.
    I then reinstalled Premiere Pro CS5, and fired up an old project and i've got playback of HD and DV files, and snappy editing and rendering,  so hopefully i'm good to go.   I'm just going to stick with v5.0.0 because i actually don't remember ever having any trouble with it, and i don't remember v5.0.4 adding anything i was 'missing' or 'needed'
    hopefully, this thread will be useful for any future folks that run into trouble - and it's got a solution for both Windows and OS X
    happy editing,
    peace

    As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
    note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
    Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
    Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
    note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

    Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
    The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
    "Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
    With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
    Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
    And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
    Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

  • How do I join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in Premiere Pro CS5?

    Hello,
    The question is in the title but I'm wondering how I can join multiple (short) audio clips into one single long audio clip in PP CS5.5.  I put all my short clips right next to each other and selected all of them to see what options are available by right clicking and using the toolbar options at the top.  The closest that I got was to nest the sequence, but that's not what I really want.
    I'd like to merge all the short clips into one single (long) audio file to use under the video.
    Thoughts are welcome and  greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    -Melvin

    O.K. This is kind of fundamental and you will need to learn up on this fully ...but for now...
    Make sure you have the WAB ( work area bar )covering the length of the audio clips. ( You do not need to select them)
    Go to the File Menu> Export Media
    You will be given all the Export Options.  Choose Wave File
    Select option for Export Work Area.
    Choose where to export the file to ( HD location)
    follow your nose from there....

    BTW - Why are you taking the audio to Audition anyway? What are you going to do to it.

  • Why does Premiere Pro CS5 eat up space on my C drive when it conforms video files?

    Hey everyone. I have Premiere Pro CS5 with the latest update installed. I am running Windows 7 64-bit on a 120GB Corsair SSD drive. I have set my scratch disk video and audio previews to a different hard drive (F: drive). I have three questions:
    1. Why does Premiere eat up space on my C drive whenever it conforms the video files I import into my project?
    2. Where on my C drive can I find the folder that holds all these conformed video files that are taking up space on my C drive?
    3. How do I prevent Premiere from eating up space on my hard drive when it conforms the video files I import into my project? Is there some way to move whatever folder is eating up space on my hard drive when Premiere conforms the video files and tell Premiere to conform the video files on another hard disk so I don't lose precious space on my C drive?
    Okay, that's four questions but, can some please help me on this? Thanks.
    Okay, that's five questions.

    hello,
    i think you need to relocate you media  cache files to a separate drive other than your c: drive.
    in the hardware forum, Harm has done a wonderful job at advising on HDD setup, i think it mentions relocation
    of swap file, media cache, etc.  all which are defaulted to your c: in your user profile
    after relocating to different physical drives (all without partitions) performance usually increases
    Generic Guideline for Disk Setup  by harm
    hope this helps til someone else answers more
    good luck...

  • Upgrade Premiere Pro CS5.5 on PC to CS6 on MAC? Use both at same time?

    Can I upgrade from my Premiere Pro CS5.5 on my PC Laptop to CS6 on my new MAC machine?  If so, will I still be able to use my CS5.5 on my PC at the same time as using CS6 on my MAC?
    I'd be grateful for your advice and, if this is possible, how to proceed.
    Many thanks,
    Andrew Kent

    The original poster was not on the Creative Cloud subscription.
    What a mess.
    I think what Baber is saying is Adobe considers an "Upgrade" purchase from a prior license as an entirely new separate license. That allows you to run the old version license on a different platform from the new "Upgrade" license.
    So if you need to run both platforms (Windows and Mac) your options are:
    Cloud subscription
    Purchase a whole new second license to be able to run the current version on both platforms (what we did)
    Wait for an point version update and upgrade going to the other platform. That allows you to run on both Windows and Mac, but one version back on one of the platforms but at a greatly reduced price until the next point upgrade.
    Seems pretty convoluted and obtuse. But ..."It is what it is."
