ive tried asking for help here:  http://forums.adobe.com/message/4935365#4935365
but no luck so far.  livechat were no help, and tech support phone in Australia, didnt answer the phone then the line dropped.
Premiere Pro installed via the download manager (creative cloud), when it launches the splash comes up and runs through the list of files, then the window opens for a split second, and immediately quits. No error messages.
Any ideas, and how can I get through to a tech support person, do Adobe even offer this?

  • Playback has frozen in Premiere Pro CS6, it started when I added some after effects compositions to

    Playback has frozen in Premiere Pro CS6.  I am running a 1080p timeline and it appeared to start when I added some after effects renders to my timeline.  The playback head still runs through the timeline and audio plays normally but the video completely stops and cannot be viewed in real time. 
    I have plenty of memory and a very good graphics card running 64Bit Windows 7.

  • Error during start up of Premiere Pro CS6.  "... could not find any capable video play modules..."

    During start up of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, I get the following error message.  "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules.  Please update your video display drivers and start again."  This does not occur on After Effects, and the program runs successfully.  Premiere Pro will not open, and in the start up window the last thing the status line states before the error message occurs is: "Loading ImporterQuikTime.prm"
    I have added an NVidia GPU card to my system and have installed the latest video drivers from the NVidida website (GeForce 310.70).  This did not help.  I have QuikTime on my computer, but am not sure if it needs to be in a certain file location.
    I have also gone in to BIOS after installing the GPU and disabled internal graphics, but that did not help either.  Not sure what to do next.  Any suggestions?
    Thank you,

    Thank you everyone for the replies.  Although I don't have a laptop, the following seems to work. 
    Solution 1  
    On Windows 7, right-click the shortcut to Adobe Premiere Pro, and choose Run as Administrator. 
    Using this method, Premiere Pro opened successfully.  Using the shortcut directly, the error persists.  It looks like we will just have to open the program using this method.
    Many thanks for the replies.

    Adobe support contacted me on the phone and said that its a known issue if you have multiple formats or codecs when you try to view media in browser in Premiere Pro CS6 & Prelude it wont load or it will freeze. The Adobe support Tech said he would call back, but had  to further research the issue. Its been over 3 weeks and I  never heard back?

    Hi Zencuts,
    When you try to view media in browser in Premiere Pro CS6 & Prelude it wont load or it will freeze.
    I'm not seeing that behavior with various kinds of media. If it's a known issue, it's the first I've heard of that.
    Do you have the latest update of Premiere Pro CS6 and Prelude CS6? You can try Help > Updates to make sure. I see you have an iMac on OS X 10.9. What kind of media are you using? Which GPU is in the iMac? Have you updated the drivers recently?
    Your issues may well have to do with your installation of OS X, as well. Certain ways of updating to OS X 10.9 can reset permissions in your Adobe folders so that can cause problems. See this doc: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
    The Adobe support Tech said he would call back, but had  to further research the issue. Its been over 3 weeks and I  never heard back?
    I'm not sure how you got through to support with a CS6 issue, as phone and chat support is no longer available for CS6 users (except installation issues in the first 90 days and activation issues thereafter). Forums are the only option for support for CS6 users, sorry. That said, the agent should not have promised you a call back and not followed up in some form or fashion. I will see if I can look up the case and let the agent know their error.

  • Problem to start Adobe Premiere Pro CS6

    Hi,
    I've tried to solve this problem for days now. Have tried all kinds of troubleshooting, finally just updated from OS X Mountain Lion, have reinstalled and updated Premiere, also followed the tips here: Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 permissions problem
    Still nothing...
    Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/mightykilt/shared/adobe/MediaCore/ASL/Found ation/Make/Mac/../../Src/DirectoryRegistry.cpp-283]
    I'm using a(n older) macbook pro. The problem started last week, after I had installed Apple Logic Pro X and because of its huge need for space with 30GB of sounds (no option is given to download them on an external drive - which, excuse me for the term, seems kind of f***ed up:s), had to move around files to my external drive and aliased. Then did so for two larger Adobe folders as well. When I realized that I couldn't start Photoshop nor Premiere, I put those files back where they were. Photoshop went back to okay, but Premiere... absolutely nothing.
    What else could I do?
    Would appreciate any help. Thanks so much.

  • CC wont let me re-download premiere pro CS6! HELP!!

    Hello all,
    So i previously had all of the CS6 Family installed on my computer. Something went wrong with Adobe Encore and it wouldnt open so i uninstalled Premiere Pro and Encore CS6.
    After un-installing i restarted my computer and opened Creative Cloud.
    When looking in the find new apps section to re-download Premiere Pro CS6 i could not find it. I filtered the search and selected previous versions but the only apps it says it has in previous versions in are Bridge, Edge Animate and Gaming SDK.
    I checked in the my apps section to double check it was definitely un-installed. I can see Premiere Pro CC but CS6 is not showing up anywhere!
    Ive tried looking for other links on the adobe website but it just gives me the option to buy a subscription (which i have already payed for) or download the trial.
    Ive looked endlessly on forums for a solution but no joy so far.
    I desperately need to get to the bottom of this as i need Adobe Encore for work.
    PLEASE HELP ME!!!!

    Hi,
    Please uninstall your creative cloud desktop app and re-download it from the below link:-
    Creative Cloud Help | Creative Cloud for desktop
    and then follow the same steps that you have been following.
    Hope that works for you.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Default save location

    Hey there,
    We are having an issue where our users only have 100 meg network drives and Premiere Pro CS6 profile data. Our domain policies redirect everything from XP Documents and settings and 7 Users to their Z:\ drive, which is mapped to a network location on the local server . When Premiere Pro first opens, it saves user specific profile data and save files by default to this location. When their drive reaches full, it will then corrupt a .DB file in this location (no space for a proper save) and then causes problems in various other sections of the program, such as importing videos/photos. You can manually select a different location on project start, but is there any way to redirect it back to the local drive users folder? These files then will have lots of space and then they can save their project file on network drive/flash media so their work is secure and safe, but the program data and scratch info has lots of free space to work with? I need to make this change permanent and inside of a deployment, is there a registry file one can change?
    Thanks!

    Last point here:
    I thanked everybody for useful comments,
    Theres no point in arguing what a company should do at the end of the day, they will make things work swimmingly or crappily regardless, cash is king.
    Presently, no priviledge user accounts on the network are working peachy, not the problem. Only when the network drive reachs full does this have any issue or problem at all. Basic users with much larger network drives (such as an instructor) have no problems. *shocked crowd noise*
    The point honestly is to not argue any present facts, would i like things done differently? sure, but right now none of that matters.
    as we circle back around to the only main point and the only real question i had was this:
    I just needed to change the default save location of premiere pro, if the program wont do this, how do i make it work or hack it to work? I of course take on all associated risks with this or running the program in the evil basic user network saving configuration.
    At the end of the day, i was trying to do what you guys wanted, I wanted to have it save to C: for program caching. Users can then save the .proj files any where they wish after, doesnt matter. Im not wanting it to save to the network, group policies are just setting that default location to the network first program start. They can change it themselves even as a basic user, i just wanted to change where it goes first. I could give them Administrative access and that wouldnt change anything. Changing the group policy isnt the option, i cannot fix PP Pro and then break HUNDREDS of other things. These machines do far more then PP Pro.
    I am listening, we just for some odd reason keep bashing pointless side points to this issue. All i needed to change was this default location for everybody.
    Who cares if its on the network, a USB, the C drive, D drive, E drive, F drive or whatever the hell, if you dont think it will work off of C, thats fine, great, good for yah. I JUST need to change it. Thats all. The risk is on me, *Kermit YAAAY!*
    So I am listening here, some people need to try READING though. Just because a program isnt designed that way, doesnt mean nobody has ever figured out a way to make it work that way. Welcome to Information Technology or Software Packaging and Deployment. There are websites dedicated to this.
    Thanks again, ill ask Adobe support.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 serious error has occurred, crash troubleshooting

    ERROR MESSAGE: Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project
    Problem: Starting last night Premiere would crash with this error message. This has been happening increasingly more over the past couple weeks, but starting last night and today - it has happened so much that I cannot get more than 5 minutes of work done without it crashing. It has happened on saves, renders, playback, switching active timelines, removing the mojo effect from a clip, and while sitting dormant. I’ve had the computer less than a year and hope that it is not a serious problem with my RAM or graphics card.
    Using Premiere Pro CS6 - subscription based with latest update installed
    SPECS:
    MacBook Pro Retina, Mid 2012
    Processor: 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GT 650 M 1024 MB
    Software: OS X 10.9.1 (updated after problem started)
    (nothing external from factory setup in terms of hardware)

    Third-party effects or codecs: Use Pluraleyes 3.0 and Mojo color from Red Giant
    I realize this is a general error message and there are several forums posted from mostly more than 5 months ago. I cannot seem to find an answer that will help me. Here is what I have already tried:
    1. updated to Maverick
    2. checked for updates for Adobe software
    3. Cleared the Media Cache
    4. Switched from CUDA to software only
    5. Updated CUDA and switched back to CUDA in premiere
    6. Held SHIFT while starting up (nothing seems to happen or pop up on screen at least)
    Next:
    —Going to uninstall Premiere and reinstall.
    Any suggestions or possible fixes are great appreciated. What should my next step be?

    UPDATE:
    STEP 1:
    Uninstalled and reinstalled Premiere - worked without crashing for the longest time since yesterday. After 1 hour of running - it crashed once again with same error message and same report (see below).
    Same as before:
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV)
    Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000
    STEP 2:
    --Updated the RED GIANT plugin "mojo" (minor coloring software)
    This worked for less than 10 mintues and then crashed again - but this time with different exeception details (I'm not sure what these mean)
    Crashed Thread:  2
    Exception Type:  EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
    Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000002, 0x0000000000000000
    Application Specific Information:
    *** CFRelease() called with NULL ***
    STEP 3:
    Going off of the idea that it may be the plugin causing the issue (since it needed to be updated) I went into the project and deleted all of the files containing this effect in this project file (note: i have used this for 10+ projects on this computer with no trouble).
    I thought it was fixed, from about 8:00 PM - 11:45 PM no crash - then as I was playing back clips - crashed again.
    I have been loosely following these guidelines: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/troubleshoot-system-errors-freezes-mac.html
    I am not sure where to go from here - should I continue into the "advanced troubleshooting" even though I'm not sure if any of these things are related.
    IMPORTANT NOTE: I have launched two other Premiere Project Files (from previously completed projects) successfully without crashing. I tested a few things in the projects before returning to the problem project. If I suspect there is a problem with the file in particular - how do I find out what is causing the problem?
    --I already removed MOJO effects thinking that could be the issue from the last files that were
    --I have already gone back to a previous version from a week ago and imported the Sequence I needed. Still crashed.
    I have sent 5+ reports to Adobe on the crash. Any feedback into this is much appreciated.

  • Cannot install Premiere Pro CS6 and Prelude - Losing my mind

    I've been trying for 3 days to find a solution to this problem. I know a lot of other people have had this problem but the solutions all seem different based on the interpretation of the summary report generated by the installer. I've tried dealing with Customer Support over the phone and they have absolutely no idea how to fix this. I've downloaded and installed the CS6 Production Premium. All apps install successfully except for Premiere Pro and Prelude. One option I read was to remove a few Adobe fonts (which I tried) and the problem still exists. Adobe Suport suggested uninstalling then reinstalling Air. Tried it and things still aren't working. I even tried installing in Safe Mode. I'm on a Mac running 10.6.8

    Hi Mylenium. Yes it's me. I didn't want to pull Steve into this just yet hoping that there was an easier solution. I've gone 2 rounds now with Tech Support. The last advice they gave me was to uninstall all Adobe applications from my system, delete all the files that don't get removed when uninstalling (they gave me a whole list), run the Cleaner Tool, log in as the Root user and run the installer again. The same error came up so I'm starting to think that the problem may be more than an Adobe issue. Support told me to call back if the last solution didn't work and they would "send me to the next level". What a pain....

  • "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

  • Premiere Pro CS6 - A low level exception has occurred in ImporterMPEG

    Hi Adobe Community,
    I'm having a bit of an issue with the ImporterMPEG.prm plugin for Premiere Pro CS6 that's causing playback and exporting issues.
    Computer Specs: Win7 PC, NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 graphics card
    Description: After playing back video for a while, Premiere will eventually start repeatedly reporting "A low level exception has occurred in ImporterMPEG". The preview player will be completely frozen, and I'll be unable to export. The exporting will fail with a generic "Unexpected error" message.
    This issue has only started a week ago. Until now, I've been able to use Premiere Pro CS6 with no issues. If possible, I'd like to avoid upgrading to CC 2014, because the CS6 version was working fine before.
    So far, I've tried a few things:
    • Deactivating and reactivating (which, by the way, apparently doesn't help subscription users like me, per my recent chat with Adobe support on this issue)
    • Uninstall and reinstall (I didn't know about the CC Cleaner tool at the time, so I haven't tried a clean uninstall yet)
    • Change the Preview File Format in Sequence Settings (from I-Frame Only MPEG which had worked since I installed the software over a year ago to Microsoft AVI)
    • Crying silently to myself (this did not help, the computer is cold and cruel)
    • Clearing out the media cache (which I'd never done before and let it get up to ~75GB without me noticing)
    • Moving the plugin from its location in Program Files, hoping that maybe Premiere Pro would notice it was missing and to try to find a new fresh one (it didn't work)
    So far, only the Preview File Format change seemed to bring relief, but the bad behavior came back after about a week.
    I'm thinking maybe the ImporterMPEG.prm plugin got corrupted somehow? The one notable thing I can remember with the computer in the last few weeks was a power event that shut down my computer unexpectedly. I think I had Premiere Pro open at the time.
    If it's relevant, I mostly work with .AVI, .MP4, and .TS files in my projects, all varying resolutions and FPS. I'm usually working with about 1GB of files in a project, very rarely more than 2GB.
    Has anyone else had this issue? Or, even better, has anyone else resolved this issue?
    Thanks!

    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)

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 has stopped working when importing music (Windows 8)
