Premiere Pro CS6 Hangs When Importing .mov

Hi,
For a few days now I have been trying to import an hour long clip into Premiere Pro CS6. Usually this takes only a few seconds, but lately it has been hanging. It is stuck on a little window saying "Import Files" and the yellow progress bar doesn't appear. I don't know if this has anything to do with the recent update I installed to my Production Premium applications or if it may be my new Blackmagic drivers that messed it up. I have tried waiting out the long import by leaving it on overnight and it has still not fixed it. I even uninstalled Premiere and reinstalled it. Any help would be appreciated.
The codecs of the video are H.264, AAC
I am also running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on a mid-2011 iMac

My machine is also hanging in the same fashion.   Very, very frustrating when you have editing work to do.  If I reboot, I seem to be able to import a few files but then the next one hangs. 
I'm trying to import mov files from my Canon 5d Mark III.
I updated my video driver (that needed to be done anyway) but that didn't make any difference.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when importing HDV Video

    For some reason I keep getting crashes when importing HDV (720p60) video into the timeline of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6.  This has happened on two different machines, with similar specs.
    Per the suggested guidelines, here are the specifics:
    Version of Premiere Pro: CS6, Version 6.0.5 (001 (MC:264587))
    All updates have been installed.
    Operating System: Mac OS X 10.8.5.
    Source footage: HDV 720p60 video in .MOV container.
    Full text of error message: "Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down.  We will attempt to save your current project."
    Link to full crash report: http://goo.gl/Gn8Bzn
    Crash occurs when trying to import HDV .MOV file.
    This is a consistent problem when importing .MOV files of this type.
    Complete Adobe Creative Suite is installed.  Also using Episode Pro encoding software from Telestream to prepare HDV video.  No other external video hardware or codecs installed.
    Yes, I am using the Mecury Playback Engine GPU acceleration.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me figure this one out.

  • Premiere pro cs6 hangs when media browser search for BVAP folder (from sony EX3 camera)

    what do i need from opening these files?

    Im have the exact same issue with the importing or P2 files and premere crashing/ hagingup, i on the other hand have been using adobe for over 4 years and never had this issue, i still have CS5 on comp and there are no problems there, kinda silly i cant use CS6 for work....
    so what did you exactly do to fix issue??
    also i know exactly what porblem u are running into with the aspect ratio problems, been an issue for as long as i have been working with adobe premere and HVX, and i can help u there, simply dont use DVCproHD sequence if you are going to DVD just do a DV widscreen sequence and all the ratio problems will fix when u go to encore. or use DVCproHD sequence but drop the entire sequence you worked on into a DV widscreen sequence or an HDV sequence and resize acordingly (make lager or smaler so fits properly in 16/9) the problem is some of the P2 cameras are not a true 16/9 there like 15/9 or somthing, its odd, anyway thats what i do, it doesnt really ad much time and it workes
    Dear adobe plp if you read this, then you know about problem importing, whatever he did dosnt seem like you should have to do that... any questions feel free to contact me.

  • Adobe premiere pro CS6 crashes whenever I move the timeline

    Hi there, my Adobe Premiere pro CS6 crashes when moving the timeline or importing new clips. I have tried several things, I opened up a earlier project to try that and it was fine for a while, but after about 5-10mins of use it hit the same problem and would then always crash whenever I openend it and moved the timeline marker or added a new clip.
    Another problem that may or may not be related, is that some clips are broken up into about 6 glitchy squares instead of the actual clip.
    Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

    What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
    Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
    -If Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information

  • Premiere Pro CC will not import .mov files

    Having issues with Premiere Pro CC, I cannot import .MOV files created with my Canon 6D.
    If I try to import the files, I get a very generic "File format not supported" error msg.
    This is a new install of Premiere CC on a new computer. I was able to import them using Premiere Pro CC on the old computer.
    Quicktime will play these files fine on my new computer.
    Premiere Pro CS6 will import these files on the new computer.
    Premiere Pro CC would open them fine on my old computer.
    I'm not even sure where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
    Here are my system details:
    OSX 10.9.3
    new Mac Pro
    3Ghz 8-Core Xeon E5
    64 GB RAM
    Files are on external G-Tech Thunderbolt drive.

    That was I was thinking at first, but if Premiere CS6 (installed on the same computer) imports and plays them, they must be on the system, no?
    I really do not want to transcode. I have an existing project that uses the videos and the project on the new system will not import them or re-link to the videos. Really trying to get away from having to re-create the project and re-edit.
    Thanks!

  • Premiere Pro CC crashes when importing media.

    Premiere Pro CC crashes when importing media. Every time. Driving me crazy.
    It crashes as soon as the Windows dialogue box comes up.
    Does it in new projects and in a project I created and imported into just fine 2 days ago.
    Have rebooted.
    Running Windows 8.1 on Samsung Series 5 ultrabook Intel i5 - not too sure what else to say about other settings:
    I did have a problem the other day when Windows was crashing when browing a large folder of largish  images and video clips but it went away when I put images and videos in separate folders.

    Thanks for reply.
    Point taken but I've been using it for over a year for simple edits (5 min films) in PPCC just fine. Can't even do what I could do the other night now.
    Simple folder with a few jpegs and movies in it. In fact it just crashes before I even got to another folder.

  • Installed premiere pro cs6 trial - problems importing

    I have just installed Premiere Pro CS6 and when I import a video clip, the video comes across but no sound or even the sound track? is there a fix?

    I am having similar problems but I also cannot export from Ppro in Mpeg2 DVD.  I spent over three hours with an adobe rep trying to get a fix and even he couldn't do anything.  i now have a project that I cannot even get to DVD.  Anyone get a fix on this?

  • Premiere Pro Consistently Crashes when Importing

    I'm trying to run Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on my laptop, but whenever I import video it locks up my computer to the point where a restart is necessary. This problem was present when I was running CS5 so I upgraded hoping this would fix the problem but alas, it did not. I then tried running Movie maker and that also failed along with After Effects. I've tried MPEG, MP4 and WMVs, all failed. I'm running a computer inline with the recommended specs for all three of these programs. Thats mean Windows 7, i7 Sandy Bridge. I'm told it is an error in the video codec but idk what that means. Thanks in advance to anyone who helps and of course, points to the best answer.

    Anytime you buy a laptop from anywhere that is legit, they are required by law to place the win 7 code on the machine itself. That is microsoft's rule for all OEM's. Since you bought it from best buy I'm assuming they must have followed the rule every PC has to have a certificate of authenticity (It's generally on a sticker on the machine itself for laptops it's usaully on the underside). However when OEM's don't place the sticker on the machine itself they are required to provide you with the windows install disc OR a custom version of the recovery disc that has a OS only option. The sticker should be with this disc. They are literally required by microsoft to provide one of these things. If they didn't they can get in serious trouble.
    However if you can't find this stuff you can also use this key finder program to find your key as well.

    I have used this program many times before to find windows key's I assure you it works. It will actually search any key on your system and let you know it.
    The final option is to uninstall all your adobe related software, and then use the adobe cleaner utility. However I'd recommend doing the above but I realize a lot of people don't like the idea of wiping the system. So technically you can try this and see if it works, but I'm not extremely confident that it will. Although it does have a decent chance too. After you use the adobe cleaner tool you can try to re-install it and try your luck again. If that doesn't work though you might end up having to do the above. Here is a link to the cleaner tool.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 crashing when making edits

    I everyone. I migrated to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 (I need to finish a couple of project before I can update the computer to CC and Mac OS 10.8.) and it's been crashing right from the begining. It's a random crash but my impression that it becomes more probable as the projects grow.
    It happens whenever I'm editing and I press the shortcut for "overwrite" or "insert". (It also happens when I press the icon or move the clip to the timeline)
    The screen message I get is this one:
    The log message that I get afterwards goes as follows:
    On previous days, I've been able to keep working just by deleting the Media database preview files from Premiere but it's not working anymore.
    I'm working with XMF files shot with a Canon C300 synced using premiere to sound files (.wav). It only happens when I try to edit but it doesn't matter if I try to edit sound, sound and image or just image.
    What it doesn't make sense is that it says something about "dynamic lynk" and, as far as I know, I'm not using dynamic link at all.
    Thanks in advance for your time and wisdom

    Now, a few updates after a very long night (just in case it might  help somebody)
    Up until last night, I was saving my Premiere Projects in a Dropbox Folder inside my computer. It was a quick safe way of having a backup copy. Well, it seems that the crash is somehow related. Don't ask me why but once I moved the project file to a regular hard drive (actually a RAID0 where I keep my heavier files) the crashes have stopped.
    This morning I went back to the dropbox idea with a new project and -Voilá!- after three hours of work, it crashed again. I moved the file to the RAID disk and no more crashes. My guess is that it is somehow related to the auto-save files that premiere keeps saving. Once it reaches a certain amount (around 20 in my experience) dropbox and Premiere start to do something weird and they crash the software... (It might be related to the software dropbox uses to keep your folders updated and keep backup versions of everything)
    I'll run a few tests next week trying to keep the Auto-save files out of dropbox and just the regular files there to see what happens.
    Best regards

  • Premiere Pro CS6: No sound importing .mts files

    Hey,
    My Setup:
    - Adobe Premiere Pro CS6
    - Windows 7 x64
    My Problem:
    I bought a DLSM (Panasonic Lumix G6H) and recorded five hours of footage using AVCHD 50p. I imported the .mts files into Premiere and got no sound at all. Whenever I open the .mts with VLC or WMP there is sound.
    I spent numerous hours trying to find a solution for this problem, but unfortunately none of them worked for me.
    At this point I'm quite frustrated, I NEVER create accounts to ask questions, because usually they are answered - but this time i couldnt manage to overcome this issue.
    I already tried:
    1) Copy the entire folder structure - didnt work
    2) Rename the .mts to .m2ts - didnt work
    3) Using the Media-Browser when importing the files - didnt work
    4) Rename it to .avi - didnt work
    5) Downloaded "Any Video Converter" as my last resort.. there is no option for 50p .m2ts (which might work) - not satisfying

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Crashes When Dragging

    Trying to edit in PP CS6 and keep getting this error every time I drag files.
    "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
    This happens every time I try to drag any footage. Regardless of files or locations.
    I'm working (at least trying to) on a Mac Pro (Mid 2012) running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
    Processor- 3.2GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory- 16GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics- ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB
    The Adobe applications manager says everything is up-to-date and I've tried everything I can think of.
    Restarting computer.
    Testing different video files in the project (happens with all)
    Moving files to a different drive
    Creating a new project on a different drive
    Opening old project with footage that worked before.
    No luck with anything.  Any help is greatly appreciated! I've got deadlines to meet and no backup computer!

    Hi, did you get anywhere with this? I am having a similar issue in Premiere Pro CC 2014.
    The issue is as follows:
    If I try to drag a clip, sequence, effect or transition ANYWHERE within the program, it will crash - with the serious error message. 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 (up to an hour, or so) but eventually, it WILL crash again.
    The crash ONLY happens when 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. 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.
    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, same issue.
    I have been using the system on Mavericks and had no problems. I'm guessing it was either the update to Yosemite (I have reinstalled from scratch numerous times to rule out any errors during installation), OR a recent change to Premiere.
    Interestingly, I have noticed that once this crash has occurred in Premiere, a similar problem will occur in After Effects. Again, until the machine is restarted.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!!

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Crashes When Importing HD Clips

    I've used Camtasia forever but recently decided to "upgrade" to Premiere Pro when I got my new Macbook.  Not being familiar with Premiere at all, I thought I would play with it with a few short clips.  I have HD footage of my martial arts class which I shot with my Canon Vixia HG20 and copied it to my Macbook.  However, when I imported a few clips into Premiere Pro and try to play it, it hangs.  It will play one or two clips and then it stops responding after that.
    All in all, it's only about 2 minutes of footage that I've put into Premiere Pro.  I have no problems putting the clips into the Timeline but when I try to preview the clips (either in the source monitor or the program monitor windows), Premiere Pro gives me the little rainbow pinwheel and 20 minutes later, it's still spinning around.  I bought a 500Gb external hard drive to use as the scratch disk because I thought maybe it was a space issue having everything on my Macbook but I still get the pinwheel.  My only solution is to force quit the program.
    I have a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro on OS X (10.5.6) with 4GB of memory, GeForce 8600M graphics card, and 200GB hard drive.  I've read about a of of the crashes on here but didn't really see anything similar to my situation.  Any ideas?  I spent a lot on Premiere Pro and am not willing to give up on it  quite yet.
    Please and thank you!

    17 Mbps is still at the high end, but IMHO they should ultimately work.
    Very often with AVCHD, you have to play a clip until it freezes, then wait.  If you monitor CPU usage during the waiting time, you'll see that it is quite active.  The process using the CPU is the ImporterProcessServer, which has to do some kind of magical stuff to the AVCHD clips in order for them to play and scrub in Pr.  Once the IPS is done, you should be able to scrub and play the clip just fine.
    Usually you only have to do this once per clip, but sometimes more.  Sometimes the work that the IPS does carries over between Pr sessions, and sometimes it doesn't.
    Smaller frame sizes and lower bit rates in AVCHD video helps make the editing experience in Pr much better.
    My hope is that the upcoming 4.1 update will address some of these AVCHD issues.

  • Premiere Pro CC crashes when importing .scc file

    Hi all! Trying to use closed captioning features in Premiere Pro CC, and every time I try to import a .scc file (Created with Movie Captioner), Premiere crashes with a general error.
    I've tried creating captions with Unix line breaks, and Windows line breaks, and I get the same result.
    I'm on Mac OS10.7, if that has any bearing, and running on an 8 core Mac Pro with 24GB ram.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    The file is malformed,  look at this line:

    There's an illegal character ('-') where you see "-207".  So all of the data is offset by one spot.
    So change that line to the following and it should work:
