Premiere Pro glitching and crashing

Hi Everyone
Myself and my colleagues have been running Premiere Pro CC for around 6 Months and each machine is spec'd as follows:
Late 2012 iMac
3.7GHz Intel Processor
32GB Ram
2GB GTX680-MX
Mac OSX 10.8.4
Running Premiere Pro 7.2.1
Since we migrated to PP from FCP7 we have seen a plethora of glitches and crashes. The first of which occurred when attempting to export a 28 minute documentary. During export the machine would completely freeze, everything but the mouse would stop working. The time would stop the export would stop any other processes would stop and the machine required a hard reboot. At first we thought this was because of the length of the project and the effects used (Magic Bullet Mojo and Lumetri LUT's) However our older mid 2011 iMacs exported no problems albeit a little slower.
Another issue we have was during the export of a 6 minute highlights fim. the film would, seemingly be exporting just fine until the entire screen would glitch. causing a mosaic effect. This has happened a few times during differen projects and will occasionally happen during the edit. I.E moving a clip on the timeline would cause the screen to glitch.
And finally this weekend during the export, well attempted export, of a 5 minute film we were given the "sorry a serious error has occured". The film would simply not export on the late 2012 iMacs and we were required to use the older 2011 iMacs.
These issues have been going on for a while now and only seem to affect films which are 5 minutes or longer in length. I have searched around and can only find fixes for the "serious error" message and that is a permissions error in Mavericks. I did however check the preferences folder and everything was as it should be.
Any ideas as to why this is happening would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Both are referencing cooltype.dll. I ran Font Doctor on all system and non-system fonts and found no errors. Booted without Extensis Suitcase loading. Nothing works. All 32 bit programs work fine. Any clues would be appreciated.

It does not necessarily mean a "corrupt" font, but can be a font that PrPro, and PS, cannot handle.
Though I have read that changes have been made, Open Office's DejaVu font would crash PrPro's Titler - every time. There are quite a few others. Font Dr, and similar utilities, will not see the font(s) as corrupt, but they are so poorly designed, that PrPro and PS cannot deal with them.
Though it can be a long, drawn out process, one can often zero in on the problem font(s), with a little work. This is accomplished by first defining the "System Fonts," and not touching them. Then, uninstall half of the remaining fonts, and testing PrPro and PS. If they launch fine, you know that somewhere in that list of fonts, the problem exists. If there is still a failure to launch, chances are good that the problem font(s) reside in that half, that are still installed. Note: because the problem still exists, does not guarantee that there are NOT problem fonts in that uninstalled group, so keep that in mind.
Repeat the proces, by uninstalling half of the remaining fonts and testing.
If necessary, repeat by removing half of the now remaining fonts and testing.
When you get to a point, where you are no longer getting problems, reinstall fonts, in small groups, testing in between. The smaller the groups, the easier it will be to pinpoint the problem font(s).
Keep notes on which fonts you are uninstalling and reinstalling, until you narrow it down to the problem font(s).
I would start by uninstalling any "free fonts," and then commercial, 3rd party fonts. A lot of free fonts are just poorly designed, and can cause issues, though they might work fine in some other programs.
I use a font manager, so that I only have ~ 350 fonts installed at one time, and then dynamically install fonts, as needed for Projects. That keeps my machine clean, and if, upon installation, I get a crash/hang, I know that at least one font in that Set is causing it. This helps, as my workstation has ~ 19,000 fonts on it, and some are free fonts, and many are from 3rd parties. Some are also very, very old.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - one common cause for hangs on loading PrPro can be from VST's, used in Audio-editing. If you also have a lot of VST's, you could have two issues with two separate programs, i..e. PS hanging on fonts, and PrPro hanging on VST's. The results would be the same, but the causes could be different. That leads to even more work. For PrPro, also see this ARTICLE. If you get PS launching, but PrPro is still not functioning, drop by the PrPro Forum, and someone can help you there.

Premiere Pro 2014 is crashing and freezing and I have to use force quit to get it to shut down.

Premiere Pro 2014 is crashing every day. i am running Premiere Pro 2014 on a 2013 imac with 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 with 16 GB RAM. Playback on premiere continually freezes and the program crashes. Or the playback will start to freeze and then I save and close the project file/program, but the program will not close and I have to force quit. This is extremely frustrating. Premiere Pro CC was super stable and I rarely if ever had a problem. I have changed my permissions to give myself read/write. I have created a new project file in 2014 and then imported all my sequences from my updated project file but none of these strategies have worked. I am considering creating a new project file and going back to working solely in CC because I am on a deadline and troubleshooting this issue is taking up so much time.

I have had to force quit PP CC four times today. The fourth was when it crashed while trying to reopen it. I have had exactly the same problems as described above. I have no solutions to offer. I will go through a week of constant Premiere Pro bugs and poor performance then experience a period that seems too good to be true only to end up having a day like today. I can't believe that they call this a professional editing suite. It just wastes so much of my time pissing around trying to fix things and managing all the extra render and preview files it makes each time I have to save a new copy of a project which usually results in renaming it. It gets confusing after a while. Really not happy with this and have begun to learn Avid so as soon as this project is done, PP will be history.

Premiere Pro CC 2014 crashing constantly

Premiere Pro CC was great. Premiere Pro CC 2014 is not so great!
Constantly crashing every time I go to render after a while.
It happens so inconsistently I cannot explain.
I wish Adobe would see this post and contact me to resolve.
We pay for 5 seats every month and should not have to deal with software crashing constantly.
Thanks,

Hi, I have the same problem too.
Premiere pro cc 2014 crash constantly. I found problem in the overflow of RAM when I quickly scan (review) my clips on the timeline or resize the clips.
My configuration:
Premiere pro cc 8.1; 16Gb RAM; SSD 120(where i store and work with my video); CPU Intel i72700K; Windows 7 Pro x64

Premiere Pro 5.5 crashes when importing mpg file

Premiere Pro 5.5 crashes when importing mpg file.
I can get the file to import if I first right click the file and tell it to "open in source monitor" then tell it to import.
When I do this it indexes the file. After it is done indexing is when I can then import the file.
Should I not just be able to tell it to import and it does the indexing?
These files that I am tryig to open were with Premiere Pro 4.

Welcome to the forum.
What are the specs. of this MPEG file? Might be something in those, that is causing an issue.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CC 2014 crashes upon preview

I've just started a project in Premiere Pro CC, and only have a few clips in place, but when I preview, it will play through once (usually) and then if I make an adjustment and try to preview again, it will crash. Sometimes it crashes the first time. I have updated Windows 8.1 and the drivers for my video card, and the same thing happens. QuickTime is the latest version as well.
When I check the Event Viewer for Windows, there are a couple of different errors:
Faulting application name: Adobe Premiere Pro.exe, version: 8.2.0.65, time stamp: 0x5486db4a

Frustrating. Any help appreciated.

Hey mwallace01, my apologies for not following up sooner. To un-gray the Mercury option there are hacks documented on youtube which involve modifying the "cuda_supported_cards.txt" file to add your graphics card. However, I'm not sure this is the root of your problem. I've noticed is that your gfx card is the Intel HD Graphics 4000 and I believe that is an embedded gpu on your motherboard which simply may not be sufficient to run Premiere or After Effects, but you can try editing the .txt file at your own risk. Since Macs have a more closed/controlled/narrow/(whatever you want to call it) business model/environment, there are less variables and (I'm guessing here) easier to troubleshoot with much less variation in hardware. Secondly, if you are going to edit that file, you need more than just adding "Intel HD Graphics 4000" to the file, you also may need to find the version/revision numbers and a few other small (but necessary) details for it to recognize the card. You might need to go to the Device Manager in Windows and possibly use GPUID as well. Watch a few tutorials before you decided to continue with this step.
As for a refund, you should start a whole new ticket/forum post altogether or email customer support.
Hope this can help resolve your issues and hopefully someone with better knowledge may jump into this discussion!

Premiere Pro CC and the New Mac Pro (2014)

I'm expecting delivery soon of a new Mac Pro, nicely loaded, which I purchased mainly because of all the work I do with video. Yet, I read in a review that Adobe Premiere Pro isn't optimized to take advantage of the new Mac Pro, won't run faster, and I'm better off using Apple's Final Cut.
1. Is this true?; and
2. If so, will Premiere Pro be updated any time soon to run best on a 2014 Mac Pro?
My new Mac Pro will have the following configuration:
3.5GHz 6-core with 12MB of L3 cache
32GB (4x8GB) of 1866MHz DDR3 ECC
1TB PCIe-based flash storage
Dual AMD FirePro D700 GPUs with 6GB of GDDR5 VRAM each

My main problem is that when i export using gpu open gl it crashes hard boot the mac pro. A 3 min timeline with 4k footage n a bunch of color grading. I get lucky if the timeline is shorter. But i think it is a gpu issue n my mac must be fixed. Currently under apple tech support. N my case is unique. No one has had the same issue and that makes it harder for me to figure the isse and to apple figure the issue.
If i export using software only mercury then the export goes smoothe no mattrr how long. But that defeata the point of owning a mac pro with 2 GPUs

I have had my 12 core 2014 Mac Pro for a couple of weeks now, and I'm not very impressed with Premiere CC performance with 4K R3D on a 1920 x 1080 timeline.
I understand that there may be an update soon that will take adantage of the CPU's and GPU's when it comes to the complex task of de-bayering the R3D footage, but it's just not there now.
I get similar playback performance to what I experienced on my 09 Mac Pro tower.
Any insights on getting better playback performance in this scenario would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Premiere Pro CC and the new Mac Pro - are all upgrades necessary?

Monday I'm ordering the new Mac Pro because my Mid 2012 Mac Pro tower is simply too slow and crashy no matter how much money I sink into it. Thing is, every little upgrade I add onto this new Mac Pro is very expensive, so I want to make sure I don't add anything that won't make a difference in edit performance.
My ultimate goal is to be able to work with 4k, and even 5k footage in 2014. More and more clients are giving me Red media, and my system right now can't handle it (I have to render proxy files for everything).
Attached are my hardware upgrade options for my processor and graphics card. These options can only be offered when I order the computer. Neither the processor or the GFX card can be changed by me later. Note that these options alone almost double the computers's price (3600). As of now I assume that getting the fastest everything is the way to go, but is there any reason I should not go this high?

Premiere Pro CC keeps CRASHING - Mac

Premiere Pro has been crashing for over a year. Even before I upgraded to CC.
Sometimes it will crash more than 5 times in 10 minutes. Longest it has run is just under an hour without crashing.
Everytime it crashes it says "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your project."
Now I am editing a project trying to import an AAF file and it keeps crashing on import.
I have done a full uninstall, used CC Cleaner. Reinstalled and it still crashes.
The log I get from the crash is massive but happy to paste it here if it helps. Let me know.
My mac is:
MacBook Pro i7 2.3ghz
8Gb ram 1333mhz ddr3 - 2 module of 4gb
AMD Radeon HD6750M 1024mb
Running OSX 10.9.3

I am Windows, but from what I have read permissions can cause major problems

Premiere Pro 2.0 crashes - Avi deleted

Hello,
Today I Had to insert a Time Code in film that belonged to a project made with Premiere Pro 1.5. I Installed PPro 2.0. I opened the project and i was able to insert the TC and Export it to a Quicktime File. But right after the export, Premiere Pro 2.0 crashed. It appeared the message "Premiere has found an unexpected error. We will try to save your project". After a while the program shut down. I rebooted the computer, and when i restarted the program i found out that not only my project file had dissappeared, but also the Avi's Captured from tapes. I recovered the project from a previous autosave but most of the clips are offline. The most surprising thing is that checking the scratch disk, it has the same Gb occupied than it had before the "deletion" of the avis. So, I suppose they are still there but a cannot read them. Is that correct? How Can I retrieve them?
Thanks in advance for your responses,
Salvador Savarese

I'm with Bill in that I've never seen Premiere delete either a project file or actual media, even after an error like that. Chances are more than likely the reported problem is partly due to operator error.
For example, clips being offline isn't the same as actual media being deleted from the hard drive. My very strong suspicion is that you have a case of the former, not the latter. If that's the case, then it's also very likely your original project is still on the hard drive, right where you left it, even if it doesn't appear in the recent projects list upon startup of Premiere.

Why does my Premiere Pro CC always crash?

I am having the same issues - constant crashing of Premiere Pro CC.
Crashes during edits - crashes in exports.
Mostly is just hangs and is in the dreaded "not responding" mode.
I run a small independent production business and never experienced this amount of issues
with CS6.
I have a Samsung Desktop.Windows 8, Running Intel Core i5, RAM 8GB, 64 Bit Operating System
Please can anyone help?
Not running games or very much other intensive software - this is my work computer.
What can I do?
Thanks
