Premiere Pro shuts down while edditing garbage matte

Hi there,
I'm creating a movie in black and white, with only the person in color. Therefore I'm using a eight or sixteen point garbage matte. For some reason things don't work as the should do, since yesterday evening. I was doing exactly the same as I always did, but right now, when I move an anchor point, a message box pops up, saying: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shutdown. We will attempt to save your current project." Even when I restart the computer, or Premiere, the same happens.
I'm running Premiere Pro 4.1 (latest update) on Windows Vista, with 2GB of memory. Do you guys know what's going on?
Thanks in advance,
Pim

I agree. Two GB of RAM is about what it takes to just run Vista. Memory is very cheap. I'd first run out and flesh out the MoBo with 4GB (32-bit), or more if you're on Vista-64. Fill that puppy up and try again.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro shuts down

As soon as I imprort an mp4 video into a project, Premiere Pro shuts down. What could be the problem? Thanks

Hi,
Can you provide the following information:
OS
Memory
Processor
Graphics Card
Exact version of Premiere Pro
In the meantime, try this: Go to File > Project settings > General and change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software only. Click OK and select Delete Previews.
Thanks,
Rameez

Premiere Pro shutting down every time I add clip into sequence.

"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
I've tried over 15 times, different clips, new projects. Every time I drag a clip into a sequence or even create a sequence from a clip Premiere is shutting down.
How can I resolve this?
Thank you for your time.

What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information

Late 2008 MacBook Pro shuts down while closing lid

…or it did while I could still get it to boot up—which is no longer the case.
It started a couple of days ago with me putting it to sleep by closing the lid. Or it should have gone to sleep, but instead it came to a screetching halt before the lid was all the way down, with about an inch or two to go. And by screetching halt I mean screetching halt… imagine if you had the battery out and it was only runnning off the cable and you pulled the cable out. That's the kind of shut down I'm talking about here.
After this it booted up fine and worked flawlessly for the remainder of the afternoon. Later that evening after bringing it home from work I continued to use it without incident until the battery low warning popped up. I shut it and the same thing happened. Only this time, once it was charged it didn't boot. I tried several things:
- Starting up with only the power cable / battery
- Unplugging the power cable and removing the battery, then putting it back in and connecting the cable
- Switching the RAM chips around
- Resetting the SMC by following Apple's instructions (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964)
Nothing worked. I disconected it from power and left it with the battery out overnight. The next morning I opened it and tried starting up with the battery, then the cable, then both. Nothing. I then slowly moved the screen back and forth while repeatedly pressing the power button until at one point I heard the familiar sounds of startup before they were snuffed out by another abrupt halt. I then moved the screen very slowly in the opposite direction while continuing to repeatedly press the power button and finally got my Mac to boot up! Relief. I was able to clone the drive using SuperDuper!. I continued using my computer for another day and a half, without changing the angle of the screen, until I had to bring it to work.
Sadly, I was unable to repeat my "trick" and my MacBook Pro remains dead. This looks like a short circuit problem to me, but I'm wondering if anyone has any input or ideas I could try. Since I have no warranty on it anymore I was wondering if there would be something I could take a look at inside. An Apple tech did once say there was a screw inside causing a short but he "fixed" it. This was an unrelated event, and it was a couple of years ago.
A new computer is out of the question for me right now. What are my options? Would Apple charge me for a diagnosis?
Thank you,
Bern

You're right, but it's only a partial diagnosis. I don't know what's actually causing the short. My question about Apple charging for a diagnosis was more related to that. Knowing if the logic board would have to be replaced or just a cable… big difference in cost I would imagine.
I'm in Switzerland but I'll give them a call. Thanks.

2011 MacBook Pro shuts down while working with blu ray disks

I am trying to backup my blu ray disks to digital formats in the event that a disk is damaged. I am using an early 2011 MacBook Pro with OSX 10.8.5 with a Samsung SE-506 external blu ray writer. I have been using handbrake to rip DVD's, but downloaded Make MKV to handle blu rays. I successfully ripped one blu ray disk last night. Once before that, and four times after, the computer shut down after failing to read the disk. When it restarts, a gray screen reports that the computer experienced and error and had to shut down. I believe this has something to do with the fact that OSX does not natively support blu ray disks. The disk drive is plugged into one of two USB slots in the computer. The other slot has a USB hub with two external hard drives and some other devices connected to it.
So far, the computer has failed to recognize the disk, and nothing comes up in Make MKV. The last time I tried, the computer recognized the disk, Make MKV read it and showed the titles. When I tried to rip the disk, the process failed. After another attempt, the computer shut down. This has never happened while using the original disk drive, or while using DVD's in the external drive.
I spoke with Samsung support, and they have no record of this being a problem. So, where do I go from here? I have quite a few disks to rip, so I am hoping this issue can be resolved. I have searched around, but cannot find any information on this problem happening to someone else.

Help, Macbook Pro shuts down while login

Hi guys,
My 2012 Macbook pro with Yosemite was frozen when copying files and couldn't even shut down. So I rebooted it by long pressing power button.
Then it just shuts down automatically a few seconds after I input password and press enter.
No time machine backups, no enough disk space to reinstall a new copy of system, and there are lots files that I can't afford to lose.
Any help will be appreciated!

Try SMC and PRAM resets:

Then see if a Safe boot will work:

Then try to boot into the recovery partition and see if you can get into Disk Utility>First Aid to repair the SSD.

Acorbat 9 Pro shutting down while trying to save

When trying to save PDF doc's acrobat , I browse to folder I want (this can be anywhere on PC ) and the program shuts down without errors of any kind . Anyone have any idears . I have re-installed , cleared registry of all keys etc etc , thx

Have you updated your VISTA or Acrobat? Is it a 32 or 64 bit system? I am running VISTA, 32-bit, SP2 on this machine. I suspect that updating the OS and Acrobat may solve your problems. AA9 is at 9.4.4.

Premiere pro shuts down computer

When i start exporting my media with the encoder, it shuts down my computer all of a sudden. This is not due to a old or a bad computer, cus my computer is pretty new and beefy. I see this is a common problem, but i've seen alot of answers connected to overheating, wich is not the case here. Please help me

I have a 5.0 Ghz prosessor with a water cooling system.
Correction, you have an OVERCLOCKED 'prosessor' to 5.0 GHz.
What are the temps during export?

Battery died and macbook pro shut down while I was movie recording using QTP 10.2

Does it mean my film is gone for ever? - I can't find it anywhere in the movie folder or any other place help me please.

No I wasn't recording the screen, I was recording " movie" - from the webcam. And yes, normally when I terminate the recording Mac askes me what should it be called and where to save it, and of course this didn't happen. - is there a chance the unterminated recording is hidden somewhere,? and can i somehow retrieve it?
The answer is essentially the same. The temporary scratch file will be located in the temporary "scratch" area for your user account on the start-up drive. The file still won't open in any QT player. Even if you locate it, you would still have to calculate the exact duration of the file in terms of frames/time for the file's timing references and enter the correct data for the file container and each track header if you can locate an app to read/edit the data on the drive to "create" acceptable termination markers so the file will be recognizeable by QT based apps. Since the frame/data rate for for such recordings tend to be inconsistent (i.e., dependent on system CPU power and recording mode in use) this process would, I believe, be more than even most advanced users are willing to attempt. (I.e., I have never succeeded in such a calculation attempt but have been able to recover files for which the all of the required data was known—e.g., the restoration of non-destructively trimmed files which is a much different operation. All I am saying is that, in theory, it might be possible for a thoroughly knowledgeable user to recover the data saved up to a point just prior to the loss of power but I am not such a person. This also assumes the hard drive itself was not compromised/corrupted when power was lost.

MacBook randomly shuts down while watching streaming video

I've been having a problem lately with my MacBook randomly shutting down. I initially thought it was due to overheating which was logical considering I was using my MacBook in bed and the computer was very hot when it would shut off, but I've recently started using a TV-Table top for it to sit on when I'm using it in bed. My MacBook continues to shut down and the computer isn't nearly as hot as it was prior to using the TV-Table top, it is just warm. It's definitely not a battery issue because this happens when I'm using the power source as well. *I think I've noticed that this only happens when I'm in Firefox watching online streaming video on sites such as YouTube.* I never use Safari so I'm not sure if the problem would occur in Safari or not. I tried installing the MacBook SMC Firmware Update v1.1 but it said my computer didn't need it.

I have the same problem, every once in a not-so-blue moon my macbook pro shuts down while streaming video. It only happens when streaming video. Just watched some of the new south park episode, and it shut down on me! It really ticks me off!!!!!

Premiere Pro CS4 crashes and system shuts down while rendering

Hi All,
Good morning everyone, my system shuts down while rendering using Adobe media encoder from premiere pro. I have tried the following:
1.Completely removing CS4 and reinstalling.
2. Updating all the video drivers.
3. Re installing the Operating System (XP and Vista)
But the issue persists, i have attached the crash report and any thoughts are highly appreciated.
Regards,
Vincent

A number of problems pop out of your DXDIAG:
Both your video driver and your audio driver are more than 3 years old.
Your F drive is slow, because of the fill rate of 90%. You lack other hard disks.
You have Matrox, BlackMagic, Nero, Sony, DivX and other stuff installed. It has been a long time ago that I have seen such a long list of DirectShow filters installed.
Suggestions: Update your drivers, clean up your F drive and add another disk, remove all that Matrox stuff, possibly include BlackMagic and Sony.
What export/encoding settings do you use from what sequence settings?

Premiere Elements 11 shut down while starting; without error message

hello everybody,
pe11 worked well at my Laptop.
Since a week it always shut down while starting it.
No error message!
I already reinstalled it, tried to start with admin rights, but it doesn't work.
Thanks for your answers!
Win 7 64bit

Matze S
Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit.
Before a week ago, how long had you been working with Premiere Elements 11 on Windows 7 64 bit without problems?
Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
Is your video card/graphics card up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the card?
Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on that computer with Premiere Elements 11?
Any new programs, 3rd party plug-ins and codecs, installed?
Where are the Scratch Disks directed and how much free space is at those designated locations? Any pile ups
of preview files in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder or conformed audio files in the Media Cache
Files Folder.
Let us get the classic deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file out of the way.
Local Disk C
Users
Owner
AppData
Roaming
Adobe
Premiere Elements
11.0
and in the 11.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work, then delete the whole 11.0 Folder
in which it exists. Be sure to be working with Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see the complete path cited.
Depending on how things are going, you might also include right clicking the desktop icon for the program, selecting and applying Run As
Administrator.
Let us work through the above and then, based on your results, we can decide what next if necessary.
Thank you.

Mac book pro trys to shut down while downloading?

my mac book pro trys to shut down while im downloading for some reason..

Hi Monroeeugene,
I'm not sure if you mean shutting down or going to sleep ... but this article will explain how to change your sleep settings so your downloads don't get interrupted.
Mac Basics: Set your preferences
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2490
Change your Mac's sleep settings
To conserve energy, all Macs have the ability to sleep. When you haven't used your Mac for a set amount of time, it enters a low-power mode until you wake it by pressing the keyboard, trackpad, or moving the mouse. Sleep doesn't turn off your computer; it merely puts it into an inactive state that consumes less power.
Open System Preferences
Choose View > Energy Saver.
Choose the Power Adapter or Battery tab. If you're using a desktop Mac (a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro), the Power Adapter and Battery tabs do not appear.
Move the sliders for both the computer and display to change the times in which they go to sleep.
Select any other options you want, such as sleep and wake.
Hope this helps ...

MacBook Pro (Mid-2009) shuts down while running on battery

Hi,
Five months ago, my MacBook Pro 15'' (2.53Ghz) started showing me the message 'Service Battery'. I took it to an Apple Store and I was told that everything is still fine. Nevertheless, for the past 2 months my laptop shuts down while running on battery (with 20% and 40% levels of charge) periodically. This does not happen every time.
Does anyone know if AppleCare covers this failure?
Is there any other way to fix this?
Thank you,
George

Mine does the same thing. May i suggest downloading istat pro to look at the health of your battery.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
Also do you calibrate your battery?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1490
I had never done that but after 15 months and 450+ cycles I was experiencing the same problem. I am a heavy user of my mbp 15" (2.4Ghz). After calibrating my health in istat which was going between 30-53 % Is holding steady around 65-mid 70% health wise. I have also noticed that my battery icon has gone from service battery to replace now to holding at replace soon for the time being.
I am not sure how many cycles you can get out of one battery but as far as i know 700ish is good. While i wish i was closer to an apple store (3ish hrs or more) i do hope i have helped you.
