  • Premiere Pro with large Video in Timeline crashing !!

    Posted by Wolf on April 6, 2005 at 9:33 pm

    I have a big problem with films with many cuts and effects in the timeline. (duration about 10 minutes only)
    If I change now blocks in the timeline, the Program hangs itself up and the raid-disk (not the system-disk with
    the operation system) work very strongly.
    If I have patience and wait, the Program returns also little luck after a few minutes.
    With a film, which is not so complicated, but is even much longer (30-40 minutes) and I change blocks, everthing is okay.
    I think my computer is fast enough: P4 3,2 Gh, 4GByte RAM!! Disk Raid with 800 Gbyte (4 S-ata disks) and decklink pro
    To find the problem i exchanged the raid-disks (4 new disks!!) as the systemdisk,
    installed again the operating system, changed the Raid-controller!!, changed the Ram-memory!!!!
    I tried already everything, nothing helps.
    Also i installed a Program those from time to time the RAM delete…. no chance.
    Perhaps someone found the same problem and a solution.

    I hope for your assistance…..please help

    What model motherboard are you using?

    Yes, I also am cursed with this problem. I just monitor the RAM usage and close down and reboot before continuing on. It very frustrating, but I understand the problem is being worked on by Adobe. If you are using lots of PSD images in your project, this will suck system resources. Change them to TIFF, Targa or JPG’s.

    I seriously doubt it’s anything to do with the motherboard, just the issues I mentioned above.

    Are the clips large in size? Moving large files around in Premiere just suck RAM like a lemonade in the Sahara.

    Claus,

    I just think this is a flaw with the current version of PPro. I can’t think of anything you can try except if you are “close” to finishing, export the sequence to BM codec or uncompressed AVI, create a new project, import the new export and import ONLY those elements you need to complete the project. It’s not the most flexible way to do it, but it won’t use up all the system resources like you are doing now.

    I don’t kmow Claus. I doubt it somehow. You project sounds typical of the problems I’ve had with complex projects with lots of edits. Are you close to finishing? If so I would recommend doing that export idea use a new project. Not an ideal solution. At least try it as a test to see if things improve.
