Premiere Pro CS6 Quits unexpectedly when loading Images or Video into viewer.

I have been using CS6 since May of 2013. I currently operate on a Mac. I have never had any issues. I used it one day last week, then all of a sudden a few days ago is when the issues started. Premiere Pro will start normally (New or Exsisting Project), I can even import media. But I am not able to load Images or Videos into the viewer, nor am I able to just drag and drop on the timeline. Audio seems to drag onto the timeline just fine.
I have tried many things to trouble shoot the issue such as:
1. Starting a new Project. (Thought maybe something in the existing project was corrupt.)
2. Opening an older project that I knew worked fine in the past. (Thinking new projects were also corrupt.)
3. Transcoding the video Files. (Thinking the media was corrupt.)
4. Restarting the computer.
5. Holding "Shift" while starting Premiere Pro.
I am not getting any error codes, just a Dialog box that says, "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
Thanks for your help.

Hi Luther,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Which version of Mac OS are you using?
Try to repair the preferences by opening the finder window click on go and
choose go to folder and type ~/library and press enter. Then go to Preferences>Adobe
and rename the 6.0 folder to 6.0.old. If you are using Mavericks ( OS 10.9) try to give permissions to the
Adobe folder as well.
Please reply in case the issue persists.
Thanks

Premiere Pro CC quits unexpectedly when handling video files

Premiere Pro CC quits unexpectedly (serious error message) when importing footage. The formats I've tried and failed with include H.264, Prores422 and DNxHD. When I reopen a project containing one of these formats, it crashes again even if I click on one of the imported files. I'm using an early 2013 Macbook Pro and trying to edit Nikon D800 footage. At this point I'm not sure what other information I can provide.

Premiere Pro CC quits unexpectedly

I'm running an early 2009 Mac Pro 2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 12 GB RAM, on OSX 10.8.4. I've been on Adobe Creative Cloud for over a year now. Recently, I installed the CC suite, and just the other day was able to launch and work in Premiere Pro CC.
Today, neither Premiere Pro CC nor Premiere Pro CS6 will launch. Every time I try to launch either program, I get a dialog saying "Adobe Premiere Pro CC quit unexpectedly..." (yes, CS6 even has the same dialog, saying "Premiere Pro CC" the first time I try to launch it, then just crashes completely without a dialog thereafter). I've restarted, trashed my prefs for Premiere in users/user name/Library/Preferences (I've trashed all my prefs, actually), restarted again, to no avail.
I did have an issue with being forced to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Creative Cloud, but that was before the first restart, and didn't help with Premiere repeatedly blowing up on the launchpad.
The weird thing is that I haven't installed anything since it worked the other day, nor do I have any plugins or third party apps that work with Premiere that might be interfering with its launch.
Help!

Premiere Pro cs6 keeps crashing when im editing or rendering a video

When I am on Adobe Premiere Pro cs6 every 10-20 mins it crashes when im editing a video, it crashes more often when im rendering it (export media, ctrl+M). I dont mind when it crashes while im editing because i save the file regularly but when im rendering its a problem, it probably because the file is too big as i use dxtory to record skyrim but this is an expensive product so it should be able to render. I encode the file once ive chosen the format and stuff for the video and it says finish rendering in 50 mins or so and when it gets to like 4% rendering it says not responding. It then troubleshoots but then says 'close program'. this is very frustrating, please can someone help me.

Premiere Pro CS6 "startup error" because of no "capable video play module."

Hi,
I need to edit some native 3D video and burn a Blu-ray of it, but cannot run a trial version of Premiere Pro CS6 on a brand new HP DV7-6b78us laptop because I get a prompt that says "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play module. Please update your video display drivers and start again." However the video drivers for the Radeon video card are the most current according to HP (and Radeon). So is there anything I can do or is this laptop unable to run Premiere Pro CS6? Or is there a previous version of Premiere Pro that might work instead? Thanks.

PREMIERE PRO KEEPS QUITTING UNEXPECTEDLY ON LAUNCH (MAC)

Every-time i launch Premiere Pro CS3 it gets as far as the purple start-up screen and then displays a message that says "The application Premiere Pro quit unexpectedly."
What's gone wrong?
I NEED YOUR HELP!
Thanks.

VST = Virtual Studio Technology and are usually .dll's that are "plugged into" applications that are VST-aware, like Audition, PrPro, ProTools and many others. Here is a LINK with much more detail.
What can happen is that programs, like Audition (PC only), and PrPro can use many. However, they survey the system and will try to load all that they find. If the program cannot use some, what usually happens is the first loading will yield an error message, stating "Premiere cannot use the SampleTank2.dll" (for instance), and you'll never see that message again. In that case, PrPro still loads it, and no harm is done. With some, the program crashes as soon as it attemps to load them. Why some are benign and others deadly is a mystery to me. Probably how they are coded.
If you have any other audio processing programs (most likely to have VST's there), you like have some that PrPro is loading, or trying to load. Like I said, some work, some do not and some kill the program.
Just found a little trick with bad VST's: on a PC, you can take the bad VST's and drag them to the Desktop. Apparently, PrPro will not find them there. When one uses the audio program, they just point it to the Desktop, or drag the folder back to the proper program. For pre-Vista OS's, there is a script to "blacklist" VST's from PrPro, but do not think that it would apply to Mac's.
I also do not know exactly how Mac's "register" VST's, so they may not be an issue. That is what happens when a PC-guy trys to help troubleshoot Mac issues - he can get it all wrong for that platform.
Because of the nature of your crash, on a PC this would throw up the immediate red flag - VST incompatibility. Do not know if it applies to Mac. The VST issues are not the only cause for crashes upon loading, but are probably the major one. Again, this is on the PC, and all could be different on a Mac.
Good luck, and I'll post any other things to think about, should I come up with them.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 constantly crashes when importing video files

I have not used Premiere Pro in a while, but recently when I tried to import video files (from .m4v, .mp4 and .mov) the program stops working, the "importing" window doesn't progress and I get the rainbow wheel of "death".
I read some other posts where some are having similar situations and some users suggested moving the file from an external hard-drive to an internal one (I have a 1TB external hard-drive) but that didn't do squat either.
Once the program is frozen I'm forced to "force quit" the program.
Does anyone know what I can do?

I am having the same problems, but my program locks up when trying to playback .MTS files that are shot natively on my GH2. It will not render or export anything & when you try and scrub or playback footage it gets the spinning wheel of death. To finish my last project, I had to transcode all the .MTS files to .MP4 files and it worked fine. Also, anytime I shut down PP, I have to force quit the program for it to shut down. Here are the detailed info you asked for...
What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).Premiere Pro CC (trial) 7.1.0 - 141 (because I uninstalled CS5, 5.5, & 6 thinking they may be the problems.
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) YES, up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac”. OSX 10.9
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime”..MTS files from a GH2
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?It tells me that it is an unknown error (I do not have a copy of the original error message)
What were you doing when the problem occurred?Trying to playback (wheel of death), Trying to Render and export (starts rendering, then just sits there and then gives the unknown error)
Has this ever worked before?I have worked on this projects for a few months, then just out of the blue it started with these problems about 1 week ago.
What other software are you running?none
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?some from Video Copilot and Plural eyes 3 (NOT used on this project)
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
iMac 27in Mid 2011 3.4 Intel Core i7 16 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3 AMD Radeon HD6970M 2048 MB OSX 10/9 (13A603)
No external devices, except a external hard drive. I changed from a Thunderbolt Seagate 1TB (single 7200 RPM) to a Drobo Mini 2 TB RAID 5 in the MIDDLE of this problem, thinking the issue was the drive was to slow to keep up - NOT the case… it still happens with the new drive.
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?I am not completely sure to be honest - I believe it is the factory settings.
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?both!

Premiere Pro CC 2014 crashes when loading project file

Hi guys, any help on this is much appreciated as I have a job due in 18 hours and I'm in big trouble if I can't fix this.
I've been editing a project in Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 (updated to the latest version) and when I tried to access the same file today it is giving me the error message:
'Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.'
I had saved other version files and they all seem to be working properly so I know it's not my HD that is corrupt. In fact my suspicion is that it has something to do with a blur effect i'm using. The only problem is, I can't even access the file to delete the effect as the project file won't open.
Information about my computer:
I am using a Macbook Pro
OS X version 10.9.4
2.6 Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory 16 GB, 1600 MHz DDR3
Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated.

Guys I solved my own problem - thought I'd share with you how in case anyone else is having this problem -
I came across this thread
Premiere Pro CC error message and crash
which had the suggestion -
"Do tou have after effects installed? If yes, please try to import the main sequence into it and then export it as premier pro project from file/export ootion and then try to open that in premiere pro."
This didn't work for me too but I did try and import my existing project into a new project and copy all the files over. Works fine now.
I don't know if I will have the same issue again tomorrow so I'm going to render out a super high res video before I close premiere just in case

What can I do to stop Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 from crashing when exporting?

Regardless of whether I have a new project file or an existing one, edits or no edits, whenever I click export, Premiere Pro simply crashes. Same for Media Encoder - can't even open that one. I have all of the latest CS6 updates installed, the computer is brand new as of two weeks ago - OSX 10.9.1, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB. The only way I've been able to export is through a backdoor: I use the dynamic link in After Effects, then render out my sequences there. Help?
