Serious error has occurred

When trying to start a project in Adobe Premiere Elements 9.0, i receive the following message: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down". After that, the working area turns into blank but, the menus stay visible. Any suggestions to solve this situation? Thanks

With a good Windows 7 set-up, like yours, Mig, you shouldn't need to turn off any background processes or internet or e-mails. Your quad core should be able to do all of these things at the same time without working up a sweat!
Though clearly something is interfering with the program.
And I'm assuming you've tried running Premiere Elements 9 in XP compatibility mode to see if that makes a difference.
Otherwise, if you open up your Task Manager, how many processes does it show as running?
When did you last run Disk Cleanup and clean the registry with a program like Ccleaner?
Meantime, I'd also recommend you try uninstalling McAfee and replace it with Security Essentials (a free download from Microsoft). See if that makes a difference. (It sure might! McAfee and Norton are often at the center of program problems.)

Error Message: Sorry, a serious error has occurred that...

This seems to be a common problem, however, I have not found a fix. I am somewhat technologically savvy, but limited! Listed below are my specs and details to the problem.
Software- Premiere Pro (Version 5.03) Recently updated
OS- WIN7 Core 2 Duo CPU E8400 3.00GHz 4.00GB RAM
Footage used- all types
Error message text-
Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires, Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your project.
The problem-
When attempting to start PP it allows me to start a new project, select setting, and sequences. However, as the program begins to start up the new project the error pops up. The only option is to click ok, which in turn locks up the program.
Also any files that I have previous created also will not open properly.
Also, I have recently lost a drive that contained many of my old PP projects. I've read that some people have this problem when losing a drive that once related to possible PP preferences and scratch disks...once again I am limited on understanding how that all works.
I have restarted, cold boots, warm boots....clean uninstall, clean reinstall of PP and all components, updated chipset, display adaptor is up-to-date (NVIDIA GeForce 9300 GE) ...also I am an administrator of the workstation
**Through my many failed attempts from reading forums I have also at sometimes received a RunTime Error R6025 (pure virtual function call)
I have no 3rd party effects
not using Mecury to my knowledge.?

Has it worked OK in the past? If so, try System Restore.
While your computer might meet Adobe's minimum requirements, it is way underpowered to run Premiere Pro properly.

Error Message: Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down.

Hi. I'm having another serious problem with CS4 (the version that comes with CS5 when you don't have 64 bit capability. I just finished a project, had saved it, and then had switched over to Adobe Encoder to create a finished flash video (which worked perfectly). I shut down CS4, went home, tried to restart the main project to create a video from the same project (wanted to make an mpeg version as well) and got the following error message:
Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premier Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project. Then the system shuts down.
Not only can I not open the project I was working on, I cannot open any of my prior projects without receiving the same error.
Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this issue and how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
By the way, is everyone else having the same amount of problems with this software? I've never had any software that has had so many problems from the beginning. My opinion of this software and Adobe in general has gone down substantially.

A serious error has occurred or how the 7.1 update ruined my life.

Ever since the 7.1 update to Premiere, I've had nothing but problems. The desktop app fails to update for every update, and appears to think it's out of date when it's not and then the icon in the menu bar will be grayed out until I reboot 3-4 times. The "workaround for that seems to be to force quit and uninstall the "previous" version and then download the "new" version from the creative cloud web portal. This wouldn't be that large of an issue, but it happens almost every other day.
Then once I can actually open Premiere, the real fun with errors begins. I have received the "A Serious Error has occurred" screen on 30-40 (not exagerating) delightful occasions in the past couple of weeks, with no real details of what is actually wrong. It usually occurs while trying to fix an issue where my multi-clips aren't showing the audio waveforms in the sequence, but it has happened plenty of other mysterious ways. This is even more complicated, because it's happening on multiple systems and one of them isn't even using the 7.1 update and another is offsite and using different hardware. The same annoying error occurs across them all.
Another super cool "feature" is that Mercury Playback Engine capabilities come and go as they please. Sometimes they work for Premiere or Media Encoder or After Effects, but sometimes they just pick one for that given day and don't let the other apps playback. All of the systems GPU were working just fine in 7.0.1, but now wtf Adobe?
My system specs are varied, but the general idea is this:
Mac Pro systems (4,1-5,1) 2.3GHz - 2.93GHz
16-24GB RAM
Nvidia QuadroFX 4800, Nvidia QuadroFX 4000, Nvidia GeForce 9800
OS X 10.7.4 and 10.7.5
A few of the systems have AJA Kona 3 and Kona 3G
Most of the media is being accessed across 10gigE to a ProMax Platform, and the project files are local on SSD's.
I have the bug report from Apple, so if that helps let me know so I can get that info to someone who cares.

Hi Kevin,
I'm still planning on attempting the 10.8.5 install on one of the affected systems. In the process, I have uncovered a new issue related to the CUDA acceleration not being there at all on a system that used to have it. That particular Mac Pro system only has a GeForce GT120, but the point is that in CS6 and CC, the CUDA was working until this latest update. The other systems have QuadroFX 4000 and 4800 cards, so those seem to be getting CUDA playback, however it is intermittent.
As for the OS X 10.7.4 not allowing me to install 7.1... That is correct. The Creative Cloud Desktop app was failing updating itself (as it still does on every "update") quite a bit, I don't remember any specific messages, but I did see somewhere along the process that I wasn't able to install the Premiere 7.1 update with my 10.7.4. One of the systems here is have a ton of issues with AE, but that's a whole new thread I think. I will attach some of those errors for kicks, but all of these problems occured with the introduction of the virus that is Creative Cloud into our working environment.
I am working with a wide variety of media: R3D, 5D, F55 4K XAVC, Canon C-300, XDCAM EX, FS-100, ProRes. The projects that I've been having the most issues with lately has the Canon C-300 .MXF media mixed with 5D h.264 as a 2 camera multi-cam set up. The other project that was giving me a lot of trouble right when I installed the Premiere 7.1 update was R3D and F55 4K XAVC. Both issues were the "A Serious Error has occurred. Premiere will try and save your project" vague warning. I usually only lost work since the last Autosave 20 minute interval, but sometimes that is a lot of work and when it happens 10 times in one day, that is unacceptable.
Here are some answers to some more of those questions:
What other software are you running?
These are all possible conflicting software (IMO) that are installed:
Final Cut Studio 3
Avid Symphony 6.0.3
Cinema 4D R14
RED CineX
Davinci Resolve
Nuke7
Adobe CS5.5 and CS6 are still installed
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
Yes. Trapcode Suite, Primatte, lots of scripts in After Effects. Lots of codecs installed from Sony, Avid, RED, Canon, etc.
I think I've answered most of the other questions in this thread, but hopefully that helps. I will update when I'm able to get 10.8.5 installed. I suppose a clean install of 10.7.5 perhaps might have the same chances of fixing this as well.

Updated Premiere

Hi guys; I thought I would share my experience and how I managed to fix this problem. It might help someone.
In my case I kept receiving this message; eventually after re-launching Premiere, I actually paid close attention to the "software loading" information and saw that it got stuck on my installed "Colorista ii" which is a colour grading software.
Now the red bulb came on my head ping!
I recently just upgraded my Mac to the OS X Yosemite & that affected pretty much any non-updated application, which in my case was that and many more of the Red Giant Pacakge; so I searched for the upgrade via Red giant Link, and low and behold I found it and did so. Immediately everything loaded up perfectly fine.. and now can't even do the work, cos I'm so exhausted from an 'almost heartattack'; so going to sleep and commence later in the day I guess..
Now, you might probably want to check if any application on your system needs upgrading to whatever is the operating system on your Mac or PC at this very time. It might help.
Always back-up.
I hope I helped someone :-)

Sorry, a serious error has occured

I worked on a project for several hours yesterday. Now it will not open. I tried opening another project from last week. WILL NOT OPEN. In fact, none of my Premiere CC projects will open. They are all corrupt.
Well done Adobe. I'm missing Final Cut Pro more and more everyday. I swear I come across some glitch or a gotcha nearly everyday with the this software.
Can someone please explain why a project(s) would suddenly corrupt???? And why on earth is the this software so unstable?
I'm running on OSX 10.9.2 with the latest update of Premiere CC 7.2.1
This is the message:
"Sorry, a serious error has occured that require Adobe Premiere to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
No projects open, no autosave projects work and literally days have been wasted if these can't be opened.

OSX Crash http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/ame-premiere-crash-launch-export.html

Export problem "A serious error has occured", or hang, upon export to Encore.

Hello,
I am using adobe Premiere CS3 3.2
I am trying to export my project to a DVD. I've been told that the best way to do this with minimizing quality loss is to export to Encore.
My project has some filters that affect system memory and have locked up the computer numerous times before, like Looks Suite and Noise Remover (on some clips)
when I choose export to Encore, then choose settings, I get the error "A Serious Error has occured...." Then I trried lowering the settings, and I got the window that says "Rendering", at least, but nothing appeared in that window after I left it overnight.
So I have some questions:
- What's the best thing I can do to export my movie onto a DVD with minimum loss of quality?
- Should I export as a video file first? Which is the best quality? Then can I export to Encore?
- Does it help to pre-render my entire project in Premiere first, THEN export to Encore?
I'd appreciate some advice.
Thanks!
EDIT: I just tried to export as a Quicktime Uncompressed video with the regular method (Export-> Movie).. and it gave me the error "Could not compile movie..." then the message "adobe premiere pro is running very low on system memory"
So I am assuming this is a memory issue? Then what should I do??
Also, I want to ask- If I put my entire project with all its files onto an external hard drive, then move them to another computer with adobe premiere pro installed which also has the same filters installed, would I be able to export this way?

I am quite sure it is a memory problem... the computer exported other videos in the past just fine, but its never been used for making a film with a lot of filters and such that run down the memory, and so it gives me the memory errors.
I am not sure what is "Memtest86+"... I would like to try such a program, but in fact this is not my computer... I am using a Workstation at a University and now I have limited time to complete my project (I must figure out a solution by the end of the day on Monday)
Maybe AVI is the best for some... but I have done comparisons beforehand which found .mov to be the best... and I was even told that uncompressed quicktime doesn't lose quality at all (though in fact it seems to just a bit). So if you not completely sure which will be better, I will go with .mov.
So I will try a few things- like exporting only the "special" clips which used a lot of filters on individually as .mov, then reimporting them into the project, then trying to export the whole thing into encore... If that does not work, I will try to export fragments as.mov (because if I try to export too much at one time, it has the memory error->crash).. then create a new project, import the .mov files, and export to Encore.
I only have limited time to solve this problem.. do you all think I am taking the right steps?
Also one key question I have is about the audio.. do you recommend that I export all of the audio into one wav file, and then put that into the new project? Or should I just export the quicktime files, with their audio, into the project and keep it like that?
I appreciate the help, again

A serious error has occured......a bazillion different ways.

Hello, I've seen many posts on the web about the infamous Premiere Pro "A Serious Error has occured and Premiere needs to close the program..." I've encountered this error doing numerous different things while editing my project and can never seem to pinpoint the direct cause of my error. I received the error while:
Playing footage on sequence using scrubbing
inserting a photo into the timeline
adding keyframes to a clip
duplicating a sequence
This is what I am working on:
MAC Book Pro - Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory - 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)
Adobe CS6 - Premiere Pro Version 6.0.2
I have numerous amount of photos that are never more than 700KB and all are either .jpg or .png. I also have .mp4 video files I am working with. I never had any issues importing the files. I worked fine on the project for a few days. Then the errors started to come.
I am pulling my hair out because each time I have to go back to an earlier version of my project to re-edit it. I'm never going to get this done at this rate. Does anyone have any techincal suggestions? Will Adobe be coming out with an update for MAC to fix this any time soon????????? Thanks.

If GPU acceleration is enabled, try disabling it. That worked for me on a very similar laptop. A developer familiar with problems in this area told me that restarting the computer resolves the problem in many cases.
Incidentally, with the crash that I encountered, we have not yet determined whether the problem is rooted in our software our on the hardware side. We're investigating in collaboration with the hardware manufacturer to determine exactly that.

Another 'Sorry, a serious error has occurred...'

Hi Folks,
I searched and tried some of the solutions... deleting style folder, creating a new cache with no joy so far.
Hoping someone here can help.
Hardware/OS specs at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9233828/PRE_hardwareinfo.txt (dumped from speccy today)
Prem Elements version 9.01 (N224.08092010.240488) - I tried an update a couple of days ago, so hopefully that's the current flavour of 9.x
Issue:
Elements has been working perfectly on this machine since buying and installing it back in August 2011 (a couple of weeks before 10 came out )
This week however it has stopped working.
Starting Elements produces the following behaviours
The welcome screen loads
I get the Organize/New Project/Open Project screen
If I open an existing project:
Project appears to load (status bar completes)
Nothing happens
Menus are accessible but most options are greyed out - I can't even deactivate to try a re-install
If I start a new project
I get the New Project Dialog
Nothing happens as above
If I then try to either open a project or start a new one from the file menu I get the 'Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe....'
Clicking OK does not however close elements down - I can repeat the process ad-nauseum until I shut it down
All other Adobe progs (CS5 Design Premium) are working fine
Any suggestions?

Thanks everyone for your suggestions I've tried most of them, but I think I'll cut my losses and get a different NLE.
I'll sum up the experience here, not so much for the forum regulars but for those who have come here via a web search having also entered the dead-end street of "Sorry, a serious error has occurred...", or, as I'm coming to know it, the Adobe Grey Screen of Death (or GSOD as it's easily as annoying and difficult to do anything about as the dreaded Windows BSOD).
So, if I understand it correctly, this error is thown up when some unspecified circumstance occurs that Premiere can't cope with.
No clue is provided to the user of what may have caused it
No log files are created
No entry is made to to the Windows application log
There is no debug mode
There are at least 20 recorded possible causes for the error
Adobe takes no resonsibility for the issue - it's a problem on the user's machine
Diagnosing the problem, working through all of the documented causes may require a massive commitment in terms of time and effort with no guarantee of success and, looking at some of the many posts on the subject, be detrimental to other applications or the system as a whole.
Premiere is a powerful and relatively easy to use tool, when it was working I thoroughly enjoyed using it. However, when it goes wrong (and reading posts here and elsewhere, it seems to go wrong quite a lot) it crosses the border into crapware - software that is poorly engineered and does not adhere to best practice with regard to error handling. As with any service - the quality of the product is often best measured by what happens when something goes wrong, rather than by how it behaves when everything works.
A sincere thanks to those in this little community that tried to help, but life is too short and my time is too valuable to spend more than a couple of days on this.
I'd advise anyone finding this post when researching for a purchase to look at Premiere as a question of risk management - if it works and continues to work then it's brilliant and offers great value for money. If it breaks then there is a very good chance that you're thoroughly stuffed...
I'm off now to decide between Corel and Sony for my next go at video editing
Good luck

Very Common Premiere Error?? "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that..."

"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Premiere to be shut down. We will attempt to save your current project"
Yep, that one. I get it every time I open up Premiere. The error box reappears after a couple of seconds, then it keeps reappearing and stacking up until I close the program.
I've done the most recent updates (Vista and Adobe), and spent hours on the net reading and trying different solutions. To no avail.
I think this is a pretty common error, no? But from everything I've read, people get the error using PR mid-program. For me, I can't even open the program. After Effects also starts (as a process in Task Manager), but runs in the background.
I updated MS Office 2007 (big update) and also my NVIDIA drivers (after I started getting this error).
You can read my recent problem that might help you understand a little bit more about this error on this thread.
Would upgrading to a Quadro GPU help at all?
My PC:
C2D E8400 o'cd @ 3.6GHz
8GB ram (DDR2 800)
1TB raid 0 (500GB internal as scratch disk)
2 512mb 9600GT's in SLi - should I upgrade?? NVIDIA Quadro?
Vista Ultimate 64-bit

Thanks, Jim.
So, (considering my unwillingness to wreck my current setup), would this possibly help my performance:
OS: (2) 500GB internal SATA's in RAID 0 (as is)
Scratch Disk: (1) 500GB internal SATA (sort-of as is)
Media files Disk: (1) 1TB non-'green' internal SATA (new purchase)
My main question is: What's the main difference between a Scratch Disk and a Media Files Disk?
For instance, I have a newly captured clip (let's call it footage.mpeg). And I have music.mp3 and lotsofpictures.jpg. So would I store all three of those files on my Media Files Disk, or on the Scratch Disk? The Scratch Disk was just for rendered files I thought (like when you're working on a project and previewing it?)? And so is Premiere reading from my Media Files Disk to play footage.mpeg and then using the Scratch Disk to bounce files back and forth? Sorry if I'm not making ANY sense.
Is my suggested setup a dumb idea (bad investment)?
PS - this may be another problem: my Scratch Disk (Hitachi internal 500GB SATA) is an OEM drive shipped as running on SATA I for 'backwards capability' for older mobos. So, I downloaded the firmware updater from Hitachi and the updater wasn't working (locking up after booting from CD). I figured it would be fine. Well, SATA I runs at a much slower speed than SATA II (the new standard). But I was transferring files to and from the drive and my OS RAID configuration and Vista was reporting over 30MB/s sustained write speed. Which by the way is not SATA II (also called SATA 3.0Gbit/s). I think this may be causing some of my performance issues. What do you think? Normally, SATA II should run at 300MB/s (so they claim) SATA 3.0Gbit/s specs

"Serious Error has Occurred" message with Windows 7

Just upgraded to Windows 7 64-bit and when trying to open a CS4 project I'd been working on in XP 32-bit I get an error message saying:
Adobe Premiere Pro
Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will
attempt to save your current project.
The error occurs over and over until the entire page is filled with this message.
I just installed Production Premium CS4 and did the updates. I can start a new project without a problem.

Was able to get it to open by starting a new project and importing it, but I can't get it to save. When I go to save, the Save Project box opens up, but the bar never fills at all, it just freezes up.
I realize Windows 7 is new and most people haven't had a lot of experience with it yet, but was just wondering if anyone else had come across this problem.
Thanks.

"A Serious Error has Occurred", HELP

So I have a project with a Monday deadline. I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014. Just got to picture lock with the director and I was doing some minor tweaks to the audio. I got the dreaded "A serious error has occurred", restarted permiere tried to load the recovered file, and it crashes with the same error. "No big deal" I think, and then I tried to open the original file, and it does the same thing. Once all the media is connected if I try to move the scroll bar next to my time line the error pops up.
So I'm starting to worry and freak out. I cannot lose this project file.
Tech Specs on the machine:
MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB
Running Yosemite 10.10.1
Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 8.0.0 (169) Build

Update:
So after resetting permissions for Adobe across the board on my computer. Then uninstalling and Premiere with the adobe cleaning tool, then reinstalling the latest version via CC, the issue still persisted.
Every time I tried to zoom out of my timeline it would crash. All my media would connect though, so I knew it had to be some sort of minor bug. In the meantime since we were already at picture lock I was able to save an XML to give to the colorist, and export my audio tracks separately (vo and music) as ACC files. So at least I could tweak the mix that way.
After all that, this morning, I had an epiphany moment. PP only started crashing when I had my audio tracks expanded so I could see the waveform and set points to rubber band the volume. So I collapsed the audio tracks, and bam! I was able to zoom out without crashing. So there must be something up with a bug in the timeline code.
Is there a fast command to collapse all tracks in the timeline? Audio and Video?

Sorry, a serious error has occured... can't read Premiere 2.0 archived project

I am in the process of upgrading from Premiere Elements 2.0 to Premiere Elements 7, and also from Windows XP to Windows 7. I have XP on one hard drive, and Windows 7 on another. I've installed Premiere Elements 7 on the Windows 7 disk.

"Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires Adove Premiere Elements to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
In PE 2, I archived a project onto the hard drive Windows 7 hard drive, in 'my videos' folder, but even that causes me to get the above error.
Does anyone have any suggestions that I could try?
Thanks in advance,

You could export to DV-AVI and then read it in to PRE7 (but this will embed any transitions or effects into the import file).

"A serious error has occurred" when I attempt to drag a video clip to my timeline.

Hello,
I'm using Premier Pro CC on Yosemite 10.10.1. For some reason, whenever I attempt to drag a clip into a timeline — any clip in any project, new or old — Premier immediately crashes and I get an error: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred. Adobe Premier must shut down. We will attempt to save your project."
Here's the last crash report I got: gist:ebb14b58a932ff05a627
Obviously, I can't get any work done at this point, so I would greatly appreciate any help in trying to resolve this issue.

I was also experiencing crashes in Illustrator. I found my way to this thread and discovered that my problem is a Chrome extension called Pushbullet. After removing Pushbullet from Chrome and restarting my computer, I was able to drag clips in my timeline again. If you are using Pushbullet or perhaps another poorly executed Chrome extension, chances are, that could very well be the source of your problem!
