Premiere Pro CS6 just won't work

What am I supposed to do? It's been months since I've been able to edit because Premiere CS6 won't load any footage. It hangs up for hours simply trying to open project folders to import footage. I've been using Premiere for more than eight years, and I've never had it behave this way...everything was perfectly fine under CS5.5; but, once I upgraded to CS6, the program became useless.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Master Collection suite and Premiere Pro individually more than once and nothing works. Short of taking the software and external hard drive home, I have no other Macs with which to edit.

I will almost guarantee your Premiere broke when you upgraded to Mavericks.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Dynamic Link not working

    Hi,
    Just wondered if anyone has seen issues with the Dynamic link options in Premiere Pro CS6, all the options to work with After Effects are greyed out although this product is installed.
    However I only have CS5 for after effects, is this a compatibility issue or am I doing something wrong here?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    Kind Regards
    Steve

    Dynamic Link only works within one version, so you can't use it between CS6 and CS5 or CS5.5 and with older versions you had to have a complete suite, not individual products.

  • Premiere Pro cs6 projects won't open

    I'm working on multiple Mac systems, 2 Mac Pro (3 years old) desktops and one fairly new macbook pro.  Recently, I've run into a very serious problem.  My projects that I've been working on for days, will suddenly not open any more - on any of my machines.  This is happening with different projects on different machines.  Whenever I try to open them, I get the never ending stopwatch icon and nothing happens from there.  Last night, I opened a fairly new project, worked on it for about 2.5 hours, then came in this morning and tried to launch it on the same machine and it wouldn't open.
    As I said, this is happening with completely different projects on completely different machines.  I'm losing my mind.  I've tried trashing my prefs by holding shift-option down on launch, this hasn't worked.  Has anyone seen this before?

  • Trial premiere pro cs6 won't run anymore

    Hello, I downloaded a trial for premiere pro cs6 yesterday and it worked great. But today, it wouldn't run anymore. I got the message that the program 'could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again'. I totaly didn't get it, but i restarted my laptop and then it worked. But an hour later, after closing the program, i wanted to open it again and i got the same message. This time, it didn't run after restarting.
    Can someone please tell me what to do? How do i 'update my video display drivers'...? And how come i have to do this all of a sudden? I have a brand new laptop and i worked with premiere pro cs5 before.

    >How do i 'update my video display drivers'...?
    You go to the vendor web site (nVidia or ATI or ???) and check updates for your brand/model

  • "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 CS6 stopped working, for one user profile

    So Premiere Pro CS6 wouldn't open today. Opened fine yesterday, and the days before that. The program didn't crash yesterday or close improperly. I just get the logo splash screen, but I don't see the usual text stream of applications starting up on it. After a long time I get a Windows message saying it can't open the program.
    - I used Bridge to update to the latest version. No help.
    - I made sure Quicktime was updated.
    - I cleared the preferences by moving the whole My Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro\6.0 folder somewhere else (as a backup). Next time I tried starting the program it created a new \6.0 folder but that's as far as it went.
    - I deleted AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro. Starting the program recreated the folder, made a Trace Database file but only put two entries in it:
         DynamicLink     1     5
         FE.WinInit.LocPlugins 1     5
    And then it stops there. No other files created.
    - Tried starting the program holding the Shift Key, and again with the Alt key, and again with both. No change.
    - Rebooted after every change.
    I tried logging out as the video user account and logging in with my personal account, and then Premier Pro opened just fine.
    Problem is, I need it to work on the video user account because it was created specifically for our video editing PC. Our company logins also tie into our email and other programs. This one was created specifically so more than one person could share Premiere Pro settings and resources, and there was a battle with our IT to get it because they despise generic accounts.
    I've seen other threads here mentioning startup problems but the solutions listed there don't work for me. Manually trashing the \6.0 folder didn't help. I don't have a .pref file or Preferences folder other than the \6.0 one. I haven't made any changes to the PC. The video drivers must be OK or it wouldn't start under the other user account. How do I fix this one?

    This was Microsoft patch week... did you install Windows updates?

  • Working with video and photos in Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi Folks.
    I am a LONG TIME Adobe Premiere 5 user.  NOT CS5, Adobe Premeire 5!!  Yes, from the 1990's!!  Recently I went back to college and taking advantage of the educational store, I treated myself to Adobe Master Collection CS6.  I LOVE IT!!!
    I'm just back from holidays where I snapped loads of photos at 14Mpx and video at 720p HiDef on my camera.  I now want to compile a holiday video of my photos and videos telling the story of my holiday.  I always do this and in Adobe Premeire 5 I had it nailed down.  This is my first big outing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and while I'm making some good headway with it, there are so many differences that I have a few questions...
    1.
    My movie is being made at the resolution of my video footage, 1280 x 720.  My photos are MUCH bigger then this.  When I place a photo on the timeline, because it's much bigger then the video resolution I have to right click on it on the timeline and select Scale To Fit Screen or whatever the option is.  This works great as the whole photo then shrinks down to fit within the video resolution.  But it's a pain as I have LOADS of photos!!  Is there a way to make photos default to fitting on the video resolution when I place them on the timeline?  I don't want to resize them in Photoshop to fit the resolution as I plan to move and zoom into the photos as part of the video so I want to keep them at their 14Mpx size.
    2.
    When I place a photo and a video side by side in the timeline, why can't I place a Cross Disolve transition overlapping the two of them?  The transition just overlaps the video start/end depending on where it is.  If I put two photos side by side, the transition will overlap the top of them on the timeline.  Haven't tried it with two videos yet.
    That's it for now.  Making slow but good headway.  Any feedback would be appreciated.
    Paul.

    Start by downrezzing your photos in PS to a more manageable size. If you don't need pan and scan, just use 1280x720. You can batch resize them in PS and it will make the editing experience a lot better, putting less overhead on the system and resulting in a much snappier response.
    Read about handles in the Help file for transitions. You need extra material at the end on a clip and the beginning of the next clip.

  • PProHeadless.exe has stopped working for Premiere Pro CS6

    I have had no problems with it until today.
    The video I was trying to produce was about 31 minutes long.
    I have had this PC less than a year and have never had PProHeadless.exe stop working for Premiere Pro CS6.
    what causes this to happen, has the last batch of updates caused this?
    PC specs:
    Windows 7 64bit fully updated
    MoBo Asus P6X58E-WS
    i7 quad core 950
    24 gigs of Ram
    10,000 rpm's Hard Drives
    very few things installed on this PC to avoid application conflicts, and I had no other applications running.
    Thanks for any input,
    Best regards,
    Tony

  • REDEPIC (.r3d) files won't import in Premiere Pro CS6

    I was recently called upon to edit a project that has already been shot by someone else (who is no longer in the picture for personal reasons).  They used a REDEPIC (S35 Mysterium-X I believe) to shoot the files and so now I have all of these (.r3d) files and I can't import them into Premiere Pro CS6.  I know that it's an issue with CS6, and I've read that CS6 doesn't support some REDEPIC files, but I was wondering if there was a workaround or an update that I could install that would allow me to work with the files.   I downloaded a trial of Premiere Pro CC (2014) and of course it works beautifully, but I got CS6 about 2 years ago (only months before CC came out... of course.) and I was hoping to be able to use it a little bit before having to upgrade.  
    I also tried opening the files up in REDCINE-X Pro, and them exporting them into Apple Pro Res 422 to import them, but then the audio is just static and I lose anything else.   
    So if you know either a way to import the .r3d files into Premiere Pro CS6 natively, or you know a better codec or way to export out of REDCINE-X Pro, I would really appreciate it.

    I believe that those MOV files are using the H.264 CODEC. You will need to have that installed (comes with later versions of Apple's QT), but even then, might not work in PrPro 1.5. I just do not recall if it supported H.264.
    For a bit more background on file formats, this ARTICLE might be useful. For a bit more on CODEC's in general, this ARTICLE might be useful.
    Good luck, and hope that PrPro 1.5 does handle H.264.

  • Just installed the New CC Premiere Pro CS6 (Family)

    Just installed the New CC Premiere Pro CS6 (Family) and now my older Premiere Pro Files no longer work.  When I try to open one of these older files I get a pop up that states the files are damage.  At this point I am totally shut down.

    Hi dbelken45,
    Could you please try to open on of those files by going to File and open in Premiere pro CC.
    Please let me know if it helps.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 - Project frame won't retain its layout or location between opening and closing?

    I filed this as a bug, but perhaps I'm thinking through this wrong and would like to seek help.
    I'm finding that the Project frame in Premiere Pro CS6 does not retain its layout between opening and closings.
    Here's what I do:
    1) Open a project.
    2) Create several bins and populate them with media. Expand the contents of a bin by clicking the disclosure triangle to the left of the folder.
    3) Undock the Project frame only.
    4) Close the Project frame with Command-W
    5) Use ****-1 to reopen the Project frame.
    Repeat steps 4 and 5. The result is that the Project frame does not remember which bin was open. Furstratingly, it also does not retain which bins were expanded or collapsed.
    And worst of all, it will also open in random areas of the screen. (The expected result is that it would reopen in the same spot of the desktop where you last closed it, no?)
    I'm a big organizer -- tons of footage across many different bins. I open bins, close them, keep some open, close others... easily dozens or hundreds of times during an edit session. I'm beginnging to feel like I'm swatting flies or playing whack-a-mole just to get my bin views correct!
    Or mm I approaching this wrong?

    But really, the real solution for me was to not update Premiere Pro CS6 after a reinstall. The most recent updates just do not like my computer, I guess.
    Figured I should post this solution here in case anyone in the future has this problem. (relevant: xkcd: Wisdom of the Ancients)

  • Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize USB PnP Sound device connected  to iMac OSX even when activated in Audio MIDI setup. The iMac(i-7 processor,16 GB)   is working with this USB device without any problem

    Premiere Pro CS6 does not recognize the USB PnP Sound device in order to produce a commentary sound track. The USB device has been activated on the iMac OSX by using the Audio-MIDI-setup and is working correctly with the iMac. When opening > presets >audio hardware I can only select between >standard >out  integrated > digital input integrated >microphone integrated. USB PnP is not indicated at this place.
    With the built-in microphone of the iMac I can produce the commentary sound track, but I would prefer a stand alone version for better quality.
    Your help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Annemarie!

    I'm using a Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 (which has a microphone on the side). I have several other devices plugged into separate USB slots: a keyboard, a mouse, my iPhone, and a Roland keyboard midi controller.
    I've considered that maybe the webcam/mic combo is the culprit. If USB doesn't work at a constant speed, that could very well be causing the issue! The sound begins to lag badly sometimes when it's working properly, so that there's a multisecond delay between speaking and hearing my voice repeated back over the mic which is another sign that something is wrong. I've also caught it making a strange electronic sound during its "hang" time once it stops taking sound input correctly.
    Maybe I should try to use line-in and forgo USB altogether then. I think I'd need a preamp and some sort of converter for that since the Mac Mini lacks a powered mic jack. I'm only a newbie musician so I've never set up such a system but it might be a better solution in the long run.
    I'll check to see if it hangs before or after my computer enters suspend mode, that's a good suggestion too. Thank you for your help!
