"Sorry, a serious error occured..."

I'm getting an error when I start Premiere Pro CS6. When I try to open a project or start a new project I get an error that says: "Sorry, a serious error occured that caused Premiere to shut down..." I'm working on a 2012 MacBook Pro with 8 gb ram. I don't even get as far as the main screen in Premiere. This started a few days ago after I put in my registration key (I had been using the trial version while I waited for my order to process). I have the same issue with Prelude. Let me know what additional information you may need to help me and thanks in advance.

What version of Premiere Pro? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Pro CS5.5 with the 5.5.2 update).
CS6
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
Up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac".
OSX 10.8.2
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime".
Can't get this far.
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
"Sorry, a serious error occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
What were you doing when the problem occurred?
This happens if I try to create a new project or open and existing project.
Has this ever worked before?
I have been able to create or open a project in the past.
What other software are you running?
I have Firefox open.
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed?
I also use Protools on this machine so I have many audio effects installed (too many to list). I also have FxFactory installed.
Tell us about your computer hardware. Be especially certain to tell us about third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU).
MacBook Pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM. I'm using the internal HD. No third party.
Are you using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration?
I've tried to create projects with and without this running.
Does the problem only happen with your final output, with previews, or both?
Neither. Problem occurs when I try to open an existing project or create a new project.

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.

Not enough information for anyone to even make a guess

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.

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

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.
When I create a new project on PE 7, everything works OK. When I try to read anything that I created in PE 2, I get the following...
"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,
Ron

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).

Sorry a serious error has occurred

I am trying to open a wip project and I get the message 'Sorry a serious error has occurred' and Premier pro attempts to save the project.
This happens on every version of the project and every autosave version. I then tried to import one of those projects into a new project and got the same error. I then created a new project and tried to use the files that the previous project was editing and every time I import a file I get the same error.
The files all play on QT and are in Prores format. They all imported and worked in premier pro previously.
Any ideas?
Steve

Hi theendisnye,
Are you using any external drive as a media drive. If yes, then try the internal drive and move the assets to the internal drive and check. If this doesn't help then try uninstalling and reinstalling the program again and update it to the latest updates.

Sorry, a serious error has occurred... Rant and a solution

Warning. Much of this post is frankly a rant against a poorly written program and the so-called experts who offer up solutions here. If you are one of these experts and you have a thin-skin, don't read this post.
If you just want a solution to the problem skip to the bottom of the post.
INTRODUCTION
Adobe, I want my money back! I rarely buy Adobe products and always wind up regretting it when I do. This product was no exception.
I tried the trial version. Bought the product along with Photoshop Elements as part of a promotion.
Produced a couple of videos with it, no problems. Then, inexplicably, it stopped working for me and I would get the infamous "Sorry, a serious error has occurred..." message while trying to start or open a project. This would happen almost immediately, as it was drawing its intial screen layout.
MY FIRST BIG COMPLAINT... USELESS ERROR MESSAGE
This has to be the most useless error message I've ever read. The few times I've had programs crash on me, the error message that results usually gives me enough clues to find and fix the root problem.
ONWARD...
Uninstalled it with Revo Uninstaller, re-installed it.
Deleted all old project files.
Tried to re-start by clicking 'New Project' button.
Prompts me for a location for the project. I accepted the default.
Immediately gives me the "Sorry, a serious error has occurred..." message and shuts down when I press okay.
MY SECOND BIG COMPLAINT... INCOMPLETE UNINSTALL
I did observe that when I went to use the Organizer after the re-installs, the thumbnails of previous videos were still there. Clearly some cache wasn't removed during the uninstall.
If a cache wasn't removed, perhaps other remnants of the the program were still lying about on my machine. If they were the problem, then no amount of uninstalling/ re-installing would solve the problem.
CONTINUING...
At this point, I came to the forums for help and my worst fears were confirmed. This error message is a common problem. The suggestions to solve it were all over the place. The sheer depth and width of this faultfinding indicated to me that this is a seriously buggy piece of software.
With one or two exceptions it seems that nobody ever resolves this problem.
MY THIRD COMPLAINT... WELL-MEANING BUT UNHELPFUL 'SOLUTIONS'
These are some of the typical solutions I read on these forums:
- Your computer is probably underpowered. Give us a list of all your specs.
- Your computer doesn't have enough hard drive space. Give us a list of all your specs.
- Your computer doesn't have enough RAM. Give us a list of all your specs.
- Something on your computer has 'changed'. Give us a list of all your specs.
- Your hard drive is dying. Back it up quick!
- It's probably your anti-virus software. Turn it off.
- Some of your drivers are probably out of date. Update them all. Give us a list of all your specs.
- That's a different issue... start a new thread. (Lame...)
Most of that advice is... well, lame. It's pretty obvious that these people are just winging it, i.e. throw everything up there and hope something works. Sorta like that tech guy on the support line who always ends up telling you to 're-install the program' because he really has no clue what the problem is and just wants you off the line.
As someone who has used video editing programs for years, I'm here to tell you that the problem is rarely the computer specs. The specs listed by Adobe for this program aren't that onerous and my three-year-old Dell 1525 laptop with less than 20 megs of space on its 136 HD and 2 megs of RAM was able to produce videos with no problem.
Most computers sold within the last three or four years are pretty robust and should have no problem with consumer level video editing.
Sending people off on a quest to 'fix' their computer and research a lot of computer specs is a time-waster. That should be the LAST thing you recommend after first eliminating the program as a problem.
ONLINE SUPPORT
This is worthy of its own post, but I won't bore you here. Suffice it to say that Adobe tech support deserves some sort of industry recognition for its ineptitude.
MY SOLUTION
First, let me reinterate. The problem is probably the buggy program and not your computer, assuming your computer is relatively new and mid-range or better.
In my case, the clue was in the fact that not all of the program is uninstalled when you try to do a uninstall / re-install. The program likely had some sort of corrupted cache that stopped the program and that remained after an uninstall.
I unstalled it again, but after some research I came across this tool:
Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82947.html
and this reference:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/859/cpsid_85966.html
The reference above applies to Photoshop, but the Organizer elements applies to Premiere unintalls as well.
After applying these two solutions and then re-installing, my Premiere Elements is working once again.
Had I followed the typical advice I would have spent days updating drivers, installing RAM, de-fragging and cleaning up my hard drive, listing specs to post here, etc. And none of it would have mattered a wit.
The program is still buggy though and my original problem may re-occur, I admit. I will certainly never buy another version of this POS program again, but, in the meantime, I hope I can save someone here some time in looking for a fix for their own message.

Your post count is 2 (as I write this) beginning July 17 - which indicates to me that you never asked for help in this forum (or you did so under another name)
As Steve said (and which you may not have known) this is not Adobe support, this is a place provided by Adobe for users to try and help each other
Yes... Adobe has less than good telephone support... a year or so ago that was even admitted to by the Adobe CEO, with discussion of that over in http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments or maybe it was http://forums.adobe.com/community/general/forum_comments (been long enough ago that I don't really remember)

"Sorry, a serious error has occurred" in CS6

Hello,
I have recently been receiving this error message alot while working on a project. "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project." It makes rename the project I'm working on and all rendered footage has to be re- rendered. Other than that nothing changes. Its more of an annoyance than a problem. The only thing that is different in this video is that I am editing with a lot of animated layers. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your post. The issue might be of performing any editing on a particular sequence. Please try to create a new sequence and copy and paste the old sequence into the new one.

Sorry, a serious error has occurred...(Premiere Elements 7)

I am having a problem with Premiere Elements 7. It was installed in January of this year and worked fine then. I didn't do any video editing for a few months and came back to it recently. Now I am having a problem opening old Version 7 projects and creating new projects. The program stalls with the error "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires....". I have been reading forum discussions about this error and have tried the suggested fixes but nothing so far has resolved the problem. I have checked for upgrades on all drivers and upgraded those that needed it. Quicktime is uptodate. My Device Manager shows no driver problems. I have run Disk Cleanup and removed all files that it found. I have recreated Preferences, Styles and the Plug-In Cache. I have done a Repair & Reinstall of PE7.
I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I have an Intel quad core processor with 8 GB of ram with NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTX. My OS drive has 126 GB of free space. My video drive has 325 GB free space. My drives are defragmented weekly and show no fragmentation. My system checks for Windows Updates daily and installs them automatically.
Any help in solving this problem would be much appreciated.

In response to Bill Hunt, I am posting screen captures of processes running on my computer.
Please note that PE4 has always and continues to work fine on my computer with no problems opening or creating projects. My problem concerns PE7. By the way, I also have the same problem with PE8 only with PE8, it stalls when opening or creating a project and leaves a blank workspace instead of the "Sorry" error message.

"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Premiere Elements to be shut down. We will attemp

I have been getting this message just a few nights ago after working on a project. Premiere was working at first for a few days but then this happened. Now everytime I try to activate the program it displays "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Premiere Elements to be shut down. We will attempt to save your current project".
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling premiere 3.0 but that didn't help. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My computer is a Dell Dimension Desktop running on Windows XP with 256 MB of RAM

There are a couple of similar threads, so I will post my solution to you also. This worked when I had the same problem.
I have found a couple of steps for a solutions that worked for the "encountered serious error" message when attempting to share the project to disk or computer file. Here was my solution that worked.
1. I already compiled a project that took me 2 months and used video, photo, music. I added a new video track 'before' the other tracks and inserted a black jpg image, stretch it the entire timeline and make the opacity 0%. This covers any unseen 'gaps' in the project and won't interfere or cover anything else in the project.
2. Go to file - project archiver - copy project to a new folder away from the current folder (this will include a copy of all media used in the timeline of the project - trust me it's worth the duplication!).
3. Go to preferences - clear your media cache. Close the program.
4. Hold down the left ctrl + shift and then click on the Premiere program icon. Keep holding the ctrl + shift until the welcome screen for Premiere appears.
5. Open the new *.prel project you had saved in the new folder in step 2.
6. Go to share and make your disk or computer file.
After trying all the recommendations of the various posts, this is what I found that worked (I didn't find step 2 in a post but was just trying to back up the work I did and found that it created a new *.prel file!). For some reason, when previously trying to share the project with the original *.Prel file, it didn't like having all the media in different folders from the project, even if they were a in a sub-folder within the project folder. It wanted all the media in the SAME FOLDER as the project.
I just now have a new error that I can't find the solution for in support or the forum yet. But that's another post.
I hope this helps someone else!

'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (Mac)

There is an error that says when I am open my project: 'Sorry a serious error has occured that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project'. What is the solution? (mac)

This happens to me all the time too. When I attempt to reopen, it makes a "copy of" my project. This is frustrating and happiness often.

Sorry, a serious error has occured that requires adobe premiere pro to shut down

Every time I start premiere pro, i get this message
Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires adobe premiere pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
I have no idea why this is happening because the program has been working fine for nearly 7 months.
My ram is 2gb, I have a c2d processor and a powerful psu and a gfx card.
Any ideas as what I can do, I have already reinstalled, removed vst plugins and reset all sorts of preferences and caches.
THank you

Head to the Adobe site's 'knowledgebase', type optimise CS3 for (Windows XP, if that's what your using) and following the instructions there, house clean. I find doing this helps clean out those nasty messages
