Freezing—Its Very Cold!
Hello–first post here—I just bought Pro 2.0 (I usually use Vegas but I’m working on a large project and all the editors are using Premiere so I thought I would joing the party!) I kind of like it—-except I am having a very serious problem. Ever so often, the program freezes and I get the dreaded dialogue box——-Windows has had to shutdown this program (or something like this). I hate to say it but one of the reasons I orginally moved over to Vegas is that I had the same problem with an earlier version of Pro—-Do you guys know anyway to trouble shoot—I need reliability and at this point it just isn’t happening.

[nancy sada] “Windows has had to shutdown this program (or something like this).”
Hmm…That seems to be a Windows problme. Do you remember if this happens at a specific time or after you perform a specific task? Do you have any other background processes running?

Nah, I turned off all my background processes and there doesn’t seem to be any pattern—-

Don’t know why PPro should be crashing. Out of memory? Damaged media? Very large clips / timelines? Some non-standard plug-in not behaving? (Is the machine with PPro normally stable?)
BTW, how do you like Vegas … it seems tempting, what with the Acid-style interface and all ..?

Vegas is my favorite—-it pretty much does everything Premiere does but in some cases more elegantly—I do a lot of multi-camera editing and I find that Premiere’s execution of this is too complex and takes too long to set up. In Vegas you throw your clips on the number of tracks you want and hit the script button and voila you are ready to edit. I also like Vegas because it is rock solid—I do long form documentaries and it can handle lots of footage with out the computer going south. Anyhow, these are just tools and all of them pretty much do the same thing so I guess its just a matter of personal preference.
