Premiere Pro CS6 Render and Export Screen Glitch and Freeze

I use Premiere Pro CS6 on a 2012 Macbook Retina display - 16GB RAM, 751GB Flash Storage, NVIDIA GeForce 650m Graphics Card, 2 External 4TB hardrives for scratch disks, Thunderbolt connection. When I try to render and export videos I often get a graphical glitch like in the pic shown below and my computer freezes. It happens very often, especially when there are a lot of effects in the videos - I use the GenArts Sapphire plugin often.
This has been going on basically since I bought my Macbook 2 years ago, but it is starting to become more and more common -  considering this was the most expensive Macbook Pro you could buy I am very annoyed with this - even on some videos where I have applied no plugin effects or any color correction it happens, especially when trying to export videos.
Any help on this issue would be appreciated.

I am having precisely the same problem as bricklaneeditor, and have exactly the same setup: MBP early 2011, 16GB RAM, 512 GB SSD,
30" ACD, Mac OS 10.7.4 , PPro 6.0.1
Indeed, a restart of Premiere Pro always fixes the problem -- for a while.  I've also seen similar behavior in Media Composer 6.0.1 once or twice so am wondering whether it's an issue with this machine/OS, as the playback software architectures are so different on those two NLE's. 
I should also mention that the problem is not isolated to any particular file format -- have seen it with timelines containing 7D footage, HDV and ProRes files.  
I strongly suspect some sort of problem on either Apple's or Adobe's end with the GPU in this machine, as it is ATI and not Nvidia -- and is, as far as I know, the only non-CUDA GPU, at least on the Mac side, certified to work with the CS6 Mercury Playback Engine.   
Also wondering whether an over-the-top or a clean install of Mountain Lion might shake things up enough to make a difference.  (Otherwise I'm in no big hurry to upgrade my OS.)  Is anyone seeing this problem with PPro under 10.8?  Might be worth installing 10.8 over an external HDD clone of the System drive and booting temporarily from the clone just to see if the problem persists in Premiere.  
Anyone have any thoughts on these possibilities?

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, format for exporting video to web.

    On the Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 I used the format "H.264" and preset "Apple Ipad 400x224, 16x9, 29.97, 400kbps." That preset isn't available in the Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 edition. What would you recommend that would be comparable and good for exporting a one-hour video for use on the web (Vimeo, to be specific)?

    You're in the wrong forum.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Crashes when exporting H264 files

    I shot a video with Canon 5D Mark III (1080p) and edited a 4 minute video which I am trying to export as an H264 file. I used the preset for Vimeo 29.97, 1080. But every time the export stops half way and premiere Crashes. I tired 5,6 times and each time it workds for 2-3 hours before crashing. It actually succeeded once but the audio had some issues. After that I could not export again! Any suggesions?
    I am using a Mac book Pro 15 inch, mid 2009, 8gb ram, running Mountain Lion and have the latest updates for Premiere installed.
    Thanks

    Try deleting all previous instances and partially-exported versions of the file.  Then open a different Premiere Pro project (it doesn't matter which one; even a new project will do).  Go to Edit>Preferenes>Media and click on the Clean button.  Close Pr, open your problem project and try to export again.

  • Intermittent problem after launching Premiere Pro CS6.0.2 - audio pitch dropped and video staggering

    Intermittent problem after launching Premiere Pro - all audio is lower in frequency by very noticeable amount and video keeps dropping back a few frames every few seconds, apparently trying to keep in sync with slower audio.
    This does not happen consistently, perhaps every 5 or 6 launches. Otherwise program works normally after launch and sometimes a quit and relaunch will fix the problem.
    Have submitted bug report but wondered if anyone else having the same problem?
    Mac OSX 10.8.4 iMac 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 32GB

    Well if i do that, the video will raise up GBs larger (and that is really bad).
    Why is it really bad?
    Its a fact of digital  life. High datarate = quality.
    example ...even the Youtube preset is in the 8mpbs area.
    ...and you are exporting 1 hr 35mins of media.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 stops during export (Adobe Media Encoder also)

    Hello,
    I have been using the Adobe CS6 Video Bundle for a few years now and suddenly I've been having an issue with exporting my timelines in an H.264 format.
    Any H.264 video that I try to export that exceeds approximately 900MB stops in the middle of the export and gives me this message:
    My video bundle has been doing some odd things lately and this is possibly the most annoying. My computer is a custom built workstation so it's not like my computer can't handle it.
    -Intel i7 4.2ghz overclocked CPU
    -32GB RAM
    -Adobe Video Bundle installed in 120GB SSD
    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Nate

    Thank you for your response.
    -I tried exporting an AVI and the file exported succesfully but with a warning "Adobe Media Encoder Could not write XMP data in output file." The file plays fine though and is over 5.5GB. So that's odd that my h.264 which is under 1GB won't fully export.
    -Yes, the same thing happens when exporting directly from PrPro instead of using AME.
    -In this project I am using NO Dynamic Links.
    -I have not installed any codec libraries.
    -I do not use 3rd party plug-ins.
    -My destination drive has several terabytes.
    Thanks,

  • Premiere Pro CS6 stopping at splash screen

    Hi guys,
    I'm having an issue, Premiere was working fine before, but now I open it, the splash screen starts and runs through a loading precedure, but then just stops half way through and does nothing...
    This is where it stops ^

  • Premiere Pro CS6, Extremely Long Export Times - ProRes

    All,
    Trying to figureout what I'm doing wrong. My sequence is 1920x1080, 29.97 and ProRes 422. The entire thing has already been rendered. I've checked "Use Previews"
    See below:
    Any suggestions? It's a 5:30 sequence.
    Thanks!

    All video movies on Mac are Quicktime, even uncompressed, which can be achieved with Quicktime None or Animation 100%.  Both of those are 8-bit, though, which would defeat "Use Maximum Render Quality," if so desired.
    IINM, image sequences may not require QT.  But, then you migh have issues if the next app in the transcode process don't accept image sequences.  And they're not available as a Preview File Format on Mac.
    However, ProRes is a perfectly fine preview file format.  It's just that Pr doesn't always use the Previews on export, the way it should.
    I usually master to ProRes, and when doing so, Pr usually will use the Previews, and they are fast.
    In any event, I don't normally experience the overly long exports from Pr.  Looking back at the OP, a 2 hour export for a 5:30 sequence is outragous, and I believe is a sign of something else amiss, other than typical Pr behavior.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 will not export the full project sequence

    I have a project consisting of  videos, photos, and audio. The full project is just over 12 minutes long. I can export it out in chunks, but when I try to export 11 or more minutes of it, I'm able to export new projects that are longer, but have less tracks, just fine.

    Hi Distilledbullet,

  • Premiere Pro CC 2014 RAM issues, audio dropouts and export failures

    So I've upgraded to PP CC 2014, it worked fine for a while. Then I've noticed that while editing audio starts to dropout (I'm getting PP system message in the low right corner). I tried to dig up some info on the subject, but the only explanation I see that after couple of hours of editing PP eats up nearly all of my RAM.
    Any solutions?
    My specs:
    i7-2600K 3.4 GHz
    Quadro 2000
    32 GB RAM

    Take a look at your GPU usage with something like GPU-Z to see if both Premiere versions are using the same amount of MPE GPU hardware acceleration.  Actually with CC 2014 it might work faster because Adobe added in more 4k effects/features for GPU acceleration.
    You might want to download our Premiere Pro BenchMark (PPBM) and run it on both versions.  The H.264 very complex timeline has 4K material in it and usually shows Premiere Pro 8.xxx take about only half the time that Premiere Pro CS6 take to export that same timeline.

  • NVIDIA GPUs for Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 | NVIDIA and Adobe Solutions | Adobe TV

    Sean Kilbride from NVIDIA talks about how Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and NVIDIA GPUs were used in the editing of the Heavy Hand music video.
    http://adobe.ly/QaVPwR

    I'm playing around with the trial of CS6 right now. At first I wasn't getting the option to use GPU rendering until I added my card to the supported list (GeForce GTX 670). Unfortunately my playback is still laggy, just like when it was on software mode. I'm trying to watch 1080 video that I recorded using software on my computer.
    I have an i5 2500k at 4.3GHz, 8GB ram, and two 670s in SLI.
    I have premiere pro cs6 running on my main SSD, and my scratch disks set to my single platter 7200 RPM hdd. In the past on CS5 I was able to have my scratch disks set to the drives I have the original files on with no lag.
    What can I do to get smooth playback?

  • Reinstalling Premiere Pro CS6 (via CC download manager)

    I have Premiere Pro CC which of course does not have Encore with it. So I followed the instructions on downloading Première Pro CS6 and uninstalling Premiere Pro CS6 but not uninstalling Encode CS6, adding templates etc.
    But after all that I could not find the Encore executable. So I thought I'd just reinstall. I uninstalled Encode CS6  first so that no Premiere Pro CS6 stuff was left in Programs and Features.
    Now I want to reinstall Pr CS6 but the download manager thinks it's still there.
    I tried restarting it but it still thinks it's there. Sp I cannot reinstall.
    I'm on Windows 8.1 x64.
    Any thoughts.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 Color shift on export

    Hello,
    I am working on an early 2008 Mac Pro with 2 X 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon Processors 32 GB of RAM a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB Graphics Card and I am running OS X 10.8.2.
    I have the updated Version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 through the awesome Subscription program that Adobe has started.
    My footage is shot with the Canon 1D Mark IV shot 1920X1080 at 24 FPS
    I am importing the camera files and then exporting them after I cut them up in to Quicktime Pro Res 422 HQ files
    With the technical explination out of the way here is my problem. I have color right from the camera files that I like. and with out doing any thing to change the color I export the footage and get a dramatic color shift. The exported file looks desaturated and slightly green.
    I have tried using Media Encoder CS6 to export my footage and that has the same result.
    I started my career as a photographic retoucher and use photoshop and light room constantly so I am pretty confident that i know color. I also calibrate my Lacie 526 and Lacie 324i montiors monthly as well as have a sensor that will slightly shift the profile depending on the time of day.
    I have attached three screen shots that show the color shift exactly. Now what I need is a solution. What I am not seeing is color settings for Premiere. I am totally open to any suggestions on what I might be doing incorrectly.

    I've been doing this for a few years now, and have come to some conclusions. Basically, the difference between still photography and video is like the difference between playing the trumpet and the sax. What you bring to the sax from playing trumpet is your ability to read music, what you know about composition, blending while playint with others, ect. But playing trumpet tells you nothing about how to physically play a sax. So it is with still photography and video.
    For starters, your carefully calibrated computer monitor is just that, a computer monitor. It doesn't display the correct working space for video. What you need for WYSIWYG in video is a monitor that can show you the Rec.709 working space. Rec.709 has a different gamut, a different gamma, probably a different white point (D65), different phosphor colors, etc., etc., etc. Enought differences that it's difficult to make a computer monitor that can successfully display Rec.709. Yet there are a couple of computer monitors that can do this (a few Eizos, one HP). The vast majority of people doing serious color correction work in video use a production monitor for just this reason.
    But a production monitor isn't enough. You also have to make sure that the signals you're sending the production monitor are correct. There's a sub-industry making signal converters for signals from NLE video cards (usually RGB based) -> signals for production monitors (usually YUV based).
    That said, it is certainly possible to get a very good match between your NLE suite and a DVD / BD as displayed on an HDTV. But it's not as simple or easy as a calibrtated computer monitor for still photography use.
    This is probably part of your problem. But Quicktime is probably the root of it. Quicktime is, well, I guess the polite way of saying it is that Quicktime is problematic. It gives all kinds of problems. Most people have abandoned it. You should too.

  • Audio and video not synchronized when exporting from Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi
    We have made a project in Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 that´s intended to be exported to DVD (it´s a weeding). We are working with NTSC DV Widescreen. The exporting is 720x480
    We have 2 audio lines activated and sounding on this project.
    The question is:
    When exporting the entire video (the entire timeline sequece) using Adobe Media Encoder to formats like H.264 (NTSC DV Widescreen)... Quick Tile Movie or AVI without compression (we tested these formats) the 2 audio channels get unsynchronized from the video. The same problem occurs if we get a direct link of the timeline from Premiere to Encore.
    And Inside Premiere Preview audio is preety correct.
    Does anyone here are getting such problem?
    Also..can I ask another question (as I´m not expert on video production)?. What´s the best format for our purpose? Export a video to be played to DVD (we record weedings, birthdays..social events). No problem the time to export. We´d like the best quality for output.
    Thank you for the help
    Gustavo.

    Hi John and techkid123
    We have 4 cameras here. 1 is Sony model HD1000 (since it works with Mini-DV cassete we need to capture the image via Firewire). 2 cameras are Sony HD2000 (it generates *.MPEG files if I remember well). And 1 camera is a Panasonic AG-DVC7 (it generates *.MTS files)
    We start a new project using the Standard NTSC Widescreen 48Khz format.  When we drag to the timeline for example the MTS file...Premiere ask us if we want to Keep and Change timeline to suit the file specification. Anyway we always have 1 or 2 camera files that has a yellow line over timeline.
    But I renders correct...no problem to edit...and we had no problem with Premiere CS5.5 :/
    We are downloading the latest update of Premiere. I´ll make some test and publish here if the problem persist.
    Thank you a lot for the help
    Gustavo.
