Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Premiere Crashing Often During Capture

  • Premiere Crashing Often During Capture

    Posted by Sam Halmarack on January 6, 2010 at 12:15 pm

    Hi there,

    First off just wanted to say thanks for all the advice that gets posted on these forums, it’s been an invaluable resource for me starting out.

    Was wondering if anyone could share any light on my Premiere problem. I often find that Premiere crashes at some stage during capture this has happened since I bought Premiere on all the projects I have worked on so far. Editing a project is usually alright (though not always), but the system hangs maybe 6-7 times a day occasionally more after capture. Here is a list of my editing kit:

    Hardware Overview:

    Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,2
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 1
    Total Number Of Cores: 2
    L2 Cache: 6 MB
    Memory: 4 GB

    Capturing onto a 1TB RAID drive with plenty of free space. Footage is captured from either a Sony DSR11 deck or straight from my Sony z1. I am running Premiere CS4 with all the most recent updates. I am editing SD footage and the sequence and capture settings are correct (I think!)

    Here is a link to the crash log file –

    Many thanks,

    Sam

    Your log states that you’re running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 it also states that you’re running Premiere 4.1.

    There have been reported problems with capturing from various cameras when using SL and they haven’t been fixed yet. 10.6.3 will soon be out so maybe that will sort things out. As always with Mac OSX it is a bit buggy during the early versions, plus I do not think Adobe certifies this version with SL.

    Some things you could try:

  • Update Premiere to 4.2.1
  • Remove CS4, clean everything up and reinstall-update.
  • Use Leopard 10.5.8- Very, very stable (You get to use your machine to work and you install SL at a later time)
  • Are you booting from SL64bit mode or 32bit? If you’re using the former, try the latter.
  • Good luck.

    Thanks,

    I’ll work my way through these steps and see how I get on.
