Premiere pro freeze

I just left CS6 to join the CC. I've been having numerous instances of Premiere Pro freezing, with the only way to get it to run again is to force quit and restart -- many times.
Anyone having the same problems and what can I do to resolve the freezing? Thank you in advance for any help.

The Project:
Two timelines -- one at :15 seconds, the other at :30 seconds.
many quick cuts;
several video sources but all in the same folder on the same drive;
video effects for color, contrast, etc...
some simple transitions
Audio sweetening
Problems:
I've seen PPCC stutter in timeline playback, sometimes showing video different from what the clip should be showing.
I've used Audition (parametric eq) to sweeten audio clips, launching the application from within PP.

Hi,
Which Graphics Card is installed in your computer?
I would suggest this:
Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
If this doesn't help, try this:
Go to the following locations:
Location 1: When in Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
Location 2: Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe
Location 3: Documents > Adobe
In all the locations, rename the 'Adobe' folders to 'OldAdobe'
Launch Premiere, accept the License Agreement and see if it works.
Note: You will lose your customized workspaces and keyboard shortcuts.
Thanks,
Rameez

Premiere Pro Freezing on "Scanning Audio Plug-ins"

Hi All,
Adobe Premiere Pro freezes as I wait for "Scanning Audio Plug-Ins." The program "dvaaudiovideoscan" program has opened, but nothing is happening.
-I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
-Deleted my "8.0" user folder in documents.
My iMac has run and has enough power to run Premiere Pro past and present.
I don't know what to do. I also appreciate that Adobe has no number that I can call even though I'm paying for this service.
Please help community!

Premiere Pro freezes and causes my computer to crash by re-writing the permissions inside my computer

Premiere Pro re-writes my permissions inside my computer and causes premiere to crash, run slow, restarts my computer in the middle of rendering, and freezes my whole computer. I have a brand new 2013 Mac Pro with 12core, 16 GB of ram, and 6GB of GPUs. I will even try and and edit very small HD files from a DSLR whether they are H264 or Pro Res files. I will do something simple like a distortion correction on those files that are a minute long and it takes it 40 plus minutes to render if it makes it through without crashing the program or the computer. If I run it for a while without restoring the permissions in the disk utility it makes my whole computer freeze and crash from just about every program. I have spent many hours on the phone with apple re-installing my operating system thinking that hardware was my issue. After doing so and installing programs like avid and final cut with Adobe products off the computer it worked perfectly. Then when I install Adobe products like Premiere Pro on the very first render they will start to have the issues I have explained above. I have contacted Adobe support and have spent like 20 hours over the last few weeks with them remote logging onto my computer trying to fix the issue. Towards the end of the last call the guy I was talking too wanted to collect all the information he could to ask the engineers about my problem. He asked me over a dozen times if I had re-installed my operating system and I responded with yes I have each time. He then changed his tune to the only way he will continue to help me is if I will again re-install my operating system and only put Premiere Pro on the computer just to see if that will work. I have crazy deadlines and do not have time to go through that process again and again. He also told me that lots of people with my same computer have the same issues but still wants me to re-install my operating system again. I explained to him that I am extremely behind with my work (because of this issue) and do not have the time to re-install again since the first re-install didn't work. I had told him multiple times that I can get around using Adobe products but am huge fan of them(when they work) and would like to find a way to solve the problem. He then told me that I should go ahead and cancel my subscription and and use that work around since he can not figure it out. Is there anybody at Adobe that cares about losing my business? Or anybody out there that may help with the solution of my problem?
Thanks,
Cody

WOW!!!! Adobe only cares about there reputation and not their customers!
Response: I said multiple times in the last thread that I already did a clean install of my operating system.
Response: I use DaVinci 10 times more than Premiere Pro and never have had one issue with it ever! Must not be the issue?!?
Response: Changing the read and write permissions was the first thing the guy tried two weeks ago. I have done a clean install of Mavericks and it did not solve my problem(as I said in my first post).
(Please do not create new posts in response to an earlier post. That post was deleted).
Hi Cody,
Really sorry you're so upset. I'm only trying to help, though. I suggested that the number one fix is to make sure that your permissions are set to read/write. You did not mention that agents tried this at all in your original response so that's why I mentioned it. Also, I was not completely clear that a clean installation was done as most people install the original OS and then update it, which can cause the issue. Sorry for the confusion.
You did say that you use Resolve all the time with no issues. Resolve can mistakenly install CUDA on your machine which has AMD GPUs. This can cause serious issues. I would remove CUDA from your machine and see if you get better results: Avoid installing NVIDIA CUDA drivers on computers with AMD GPUs
If you want further help, please let me know and I'll do what I can do to assist.
Thanks,
Kevin

Premiere Pro Freezes mac while rendering Fast Color Corrector & Rgb curves

I am having a problem that is impacting our business. We are doing commercials that we are doing color correction of the subject using Fast Color Corrector and RGB curves. When these effects are added to the sequenced video, the performance of the Mac Pro slows down considerably.
Then when we go to render the project so that we can see the effects in real time, the computer freezes completely. The program usually informs us that it must close due to a serious error. I have attempted to restart the computer, clean up permissions etc to solve this problem but to no avail. Why would this happen? Any ideas on how to solve it?
Here are the specs:
Using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 (4)
Mac Pro: 3.2 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 24 GB
ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1024 MB)
OS: 10.8.5

Yes. I experimented on my own and got confirms from a couple of sources. Where the problem was is bad suggestions about what settings to use in Premiere Pro.
The first setting you want to check (although Premiere Pro will probably see the card right away is:
File > Project Settings > General - Make sure that Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is selected. Everyone agrees on this.
Now is where the fun begins. There is a school of thought that says to go here:
Sequence > Sequence Setttings - Under Video Previews, they want you to check off Maximum Render Quality. Once you do this, you must also go to:
Preferences > Memory - and change Optimize Rendering for Performance
DO NOT DO THIS! What I found is that this significantly slows down your system and makes rendering and exporting take over your computer (and I have a lot of ram). Leave your change with the setting Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and you should be great.
I have found a significant change in running color correction effects, exporting and rendering. You will too.
Let me know how you make out after your setup.
Have a great day!

Premiere pro freezing on startup with Mavericks

Brand new top of the line imac. Running latest Mavericks. I downloaded the trial of premiere pro and it freezes my system everytime i try to start it. What to do what to do?
Here's my set up:
27" Late 2013 iMac
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M 4096 MB
OS X 10.9.4
I've installed the latest Java, uninstalled every part of premiere pro I can find anywhere. Scoured my system for more. Changed users and reinstalled. Nothing works.
Just tried again, after getting the spinning ball for a few minutes, it said: "Adobe Premiere Pro Startup Error - Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again."
I can't find any way to update the Nvidia driver without going through some complicated process to add CUDA.

Well, I ended up installing Cuda and that didn't fix the problem either. However, I got the following from a post at Creative Cow and it worked perfectly so I'm posting!!
"I've been having the same issues. I followed Alex's directions and it didn't work. I called Adobe support and got something similar but this did the trick.
In the finder menu click and hold on the GO menu. Hold the option button and the User library will show up. Click the User Library.
In that folder go to preferences and find the adobe folder.
Right click on adobe folder and click get info.
In the Sharing & Permissions section there should be three names.
All should say Read & Write next to them.
Unlock the lock, switch them all to read and write.
Then click on the little gear directly under the names or to to the left of the lock and in the pulldown click on "apply to enclosed items.
Then lock the lock again.
Now go to your OS Hardrive and click on Users, your user name, Documents.
Find the adobe folder there.
Right click on adobe folder and click get info.
In the Sharing & Permissions section there should be three names.
All should say Read & Write next to them.
Unlock the lock, switch them all to read and write.
Then click on the little gear directly under the names or to to the left of the lock and in the pulldown click on "apply to enclosed items.
The lock the lock again.
Wait 1 minute. Then launch Premiere.
This fixed it for me."

Premiere Pro freezes my computer when I launch it (before was ok) [CS6]

This is a brand new problem and everything was ok for few years
I have a Win7 computer working perfectly fine
Yesterday I tried to launch premiere and each my computer was frozen. I had to do a hrad boot and tried again (3 times).
Then I uninstalled premiere pro, logged off and on to reinstall it again.
Same problem again
Anybody can help me? is there a log to help pin pointing the bottleneck?
Thanks a lot for your help. THis is really quite a frustration for me.

A full system freeze (which sometimes results in a "blue screen of death") is typically caused by faulty hardware or a bad driver. As a general rule, a program cannot directly cause the whole computer to freeze. Where a program can come in is that it calls upon a piece of hardware to perform some action, thereby effectively tipping over the first domino that eventually culminates in the system-wide hang. If you're hitting a true system freeze, then this article might be a good place to start troubleshooting: Microsoft Windows Error Reporting
It's also possible that what you're hitting is not a full-blown hang but rather a case where resource usage is pushed so hard that little if any bandwidth remains for the computer to do anything else. To see if this is the case, I recommend opening Task Manager & shrinking the Premiere Window so both windows are visible. Then when the system freezes, observe the resource usage. If Premiere's memory usage or CPU usage spikes to near 100%, then the program is likely the culprit.

Premiere Pro Freezes in Loading GoPro MOV footages

I noticed a problem in loading up GoPro MOV footages everytime I open my project file. The MOV footages was a transcode from the MP4 original files.
I've worked with 1080 resolutions and 2.7k resolutions.
I had to force quite everytime my Premiere Pro.
Weird thing is that once I tried to open a different project file that also uses GoPro MOV footages, it loads up fine. I close it, and open the problematic one, then it loads up fine.
I have a weird feeling that its like my OSX has problems reading that MOV footages thats why it also affected Premiere Pro. And not just loading up the files that are on the timeline and Program Monitor,even when browsing in Media Browser the thumbnail doesn't appear, and the Source Monitor is also blank too.

does anybody has a clue that I can venture into?
My Premiere;
Premiere Pro CC 2014 8.2.0 (65)

Yea, there've been a lot of changes that have been needed in workflow patterns as CC came in and has transmogrified itself. There's still some that feel that one simply SHOULD transcode into Editing Codecs because ... well, it's the Professional Way to Work. But those started when NLE's couldn't take a lot of "original" camera codecs, and the codecs themselves were often ... problematic. Testing footage both native & trans-coded, working the same effects, then exported and viewed with a fine-tooth eyeball is a good thing. And what a lot of people have found ... with decent computers, and the CC Adobe apps, the camera codec/format works as well.
Now ... there are specific things & time do do a transcode, such as bringing 4k 4:2:0 footage down to 1080 4:2:2, which with the right transcoding is a complete 4:2:2 and not "just 420 in a 422 named wrapper" as some have thought. And many others. But ... MP4 and PrPro have come a long way recently.
That whole dang thing of it's been working & just stopped, on a machine that SHOULD work ... dangnably maddening. Especially with the problem of it sometimes works.

Help with Premiere Pro freezing after importing MPEG files

I have
had some files sent for me to edit which are MPEG I believe. They will import, but
as soon as I try and do anything with it, the whole thing freezes for several minutes! It is unworkable. I have tried waitin
g for the audio file to conform. I have tried rendering the work area. None of this helps. If it does play, it lasts for a few seco
nds with sound playing at what appears to be twice the speed! I normally wortk with DV files and these are fine. By the way, the files I am struggling with do play in media player/real player etc. I cant believe that premiere would not support this format. Even Movie Maker just about manages it! When it does freeze, it really freezes! As in it wont even let me shut down without literally ripping out the power cable!! Please help with simple English if possible, and sorry if I havent given you specifics that you would need. But I honmestly dont know as these were just files sent to me on a memory stick. It was filming from a camcorder, but not sure what type. The thumbnail says MPEG and the properties just says movie file. It is about 2GB for an hour I think. Thanks for any help. My version is Premier Pro 1.5

Genuinely sorry that I dont know all the technical things that people need
to know. I always try to find out when I am asked specifically and told how
to find them. I did look at the link, but that just seemed to be a lot of
stuff about posting ettiquette, nothing about MPEGS. Perhaps I got the link
wrong. All a bit hard for me as I have a visual imp[airment. Thanks again

Premiere Pro freezes after exporting with Media Encoder

So I'm running the latest version of CC.
Mac Pro, OSX 10.9.2, 8-Core Xeon, 24GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB
I've got a very simple and straight forward timeline. After sending "Exporting Media" via queue to Media Encoder, everything exports fine. But after returning to Premiere, it has become impossibly slow--practically frozen. No crash, no error message, just takes about 60 seconds for any clicks to register. I click save project, and the saving progress bar does not visibly progress, yet it seems to actually successfully save the project, because closing and launching premiere, the file is saved up-to-date just fine.
So for the past few days, I've been saving --> export/queue timeline --> quit premiere --> allow queue to complete --> then relaunch premiere... Of course, this is only a temporary work around.
Now, if I "Export" the media only without queueing in Encoder, it does fine and premiere remains stable and normal.
Ideas?

Exact same problem here, plus exports are slow
Specs
latest CC
OSX 10.9.2

Premiere pro freezes when exporting a project that has AE compositions in it?

PC - 970 nvidia, i7 4790k, premiere will export when the After effects clips are removed, but freezes at different stages of completion when the are left in.

FAQ: What information should I provide?
When you say it "freezes", how long is it frozen for?
What is in these compositions you've linked to?
What version of AE (down to the last decimal)? Same question for Premiere.
What are your entire system specs? RAM, OS version, etc.
And all the rest of the questions in the link I gave.

Premiere Pro freezes in render. Frame count looses sync with timeline.

Hey Guys!
I'm completely baffled by this. So I really hope yall can help. Here's what's going on.
I'm rendering a somewhat lenghty sequence (26min) in Permiere Pro CS6 that has much of the usual going on. (Color Correction, image tweeks, ect. - nothing fancy) I've finished this edit and wanted to export it to a ProRes file. Sent it to AME and hit render with my normal 1080p, quicktime, 29.975, prores settings and about 1 min into it the time shot straight out of the park. (I'm talking like 104+ hours at one point) I checked my settings and tried other export options, still acting wonky. I even tried removing all effects and export the normal sequence sans frills. Na Da. Then I thought, "You know what, maybe it's just a weird part and it'll pass through it." Nope. Left it going for about 13 hrs and it was moving so slow I thought it was frozen.
Here's where the odd discovery comes in. I decided to render the work area of my timeline in an attempt to narrow down the problem and bingo. When I started the render here I was able to view the frame count along with the video clip progression via the number and red line that becomes green. What I discovered is that in the first clip that's roughly 4 sec (should be about 120 frames) it regestered over 800 frames before it moved onto the next clip! The timeline does not reflect these phantom frames at all. However, the renderer sees the total number of frames for the sequence correctly at around 46,000 frames. It seems as though the frame/clip sync gets so far out of wack that the renderer gets exponentially lost. That would explain why the longer it works, the slower it becomes.
I'm really not sure what's happening. I feel really out of my depth here. lol Any help you guys can give me will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!!
Parker

Mark - thanks for your reply. Disabled GPU acceleration and try software mode. Started rendering but super slow and also lost all my previews.
Here is my system:
Macbook Pro - late 2011
Processor - 2.5 GHz, Intel Core i7
Memory - 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3 (still have close to 4GB free)
Graphics - AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
Software - OSX 10.9.1
I have one sequence (less than 5 minutes) with several backgrounds and one lower third .mov playing. I am using green and ultra keys.
Really appreciate your help. Everything worked fine until the latest Adobe Pr update. Was working fine even after update Mac software to Mavericks.

Premiere Pro freezing when exporting begins

I am currently trying to figure out why my video exporting fails to begin. I am using windows 8.1 64 bit and trying to export out a .mov file. Whenever I go to export, the export fails to start and just sits at 0% the entire time, even went out for 3-4 hours and let it just sit there incase it was just taking a while and nothing. Can anyone help?

Premiere Pro 6.02: Error/Freeze when moving clips

After loosing media connections in a current project (http://forums.adobe.com/message/4678615#4678615) here's my next big problem with Premiere Pro 6.02. As soon as I try to move certain clips in a sequence, I get this error message and Premiere Pro freezes:
These clips play fine, but as soon as I try to move them: bang!
I de-installed and re-installed Premiere Pro, but that did not help.

HFS+ Journaled has absolutely no positive effect on individual volumes. It helps data recovery with raid volumes and the OS drive with Time Machine. HFS+ Journaled however does cause allot of issues due to the Meta Data applied to the file system and adds significant performance degrading to drive requests in general. People who use HFS+ Journaled are simply creating far more failure points that will effect their editing experience and time frames. Honestly I see allot of Meta Data based issues on the Mac side in this forum and I would be willing to bet most would go away if the Drives would be formatted to HFS+ Non Journaled and then create a new master directory to copy the data back into to break the Meta Data ties in the volume table. Whether clients follow that advice is up to them. However people cannot hold Adobe at fault for issues caused by partition tables and OS specific functions when there are clear ways those are avoided. If clients are passing Storage media to others that use PC then they definitely want those media formatted HFS+ Non Journaled because right now Mac Drive has allot of issues with that. This is a clear message, to avoid failure follow recommended configuration policies.
