  • Premiere CC – Crash BEFORE “Import”.

    Posted by Michele Poggi on June 2, 2017 at 4:17 pm

    Usually Premiere Pro has many problems with the import action.
    Formats, corrupted files, media caches etc.

    My issue is different and kinda new to me.
    Premiere crashes in the exact moment I click on import or double-click on a folder to do so.

    It doesn’t happen all the time, but quite too often to be a non-issue.
    Anyone ever had this kind of experience?

    Hello Michele,

    Can you share some more details about your system and how you’re importing?

    1. System specs?
    2. Where’s the media stored?
    3. What version of Premiere?
    4. Are you importing through the Media Browser or File>Import?
    5. Does this happen with all media types or a specific kind?

    Thanks,

    Peter

    Here I am, sorry for the delay in the answer and thanks for your support, Peter!

    1-2.
    CPU: AMD Ryzen 1700X
    MOBO: PRIME X370-PRO
    RAM: 2x Corsair Vengeance 16GB 2400MHz DDR4
    GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 8GB GDDR5
    Optical Drive: N/A
    HDD: 2x Crucial MX300 SSD 525GB [Footage-Projects, separated in each one] + 1x Samsung 850EVO SSD 500GB [OS]

    3. Latest as far as I know!

    4. Tried both.

    5. It does not crash when I CLICK on ANY footage.. It’s not a matter of formats. It crashes when it opens the OPTION to import, the file explorer itself freezes istantly making Premiere Pro CC crash! :[

    Hello Michele,

    Sorry for the delay? Hopefully, you’re not still having issues but in case you are here’s a few things you may want to try to resolve this issue. Please try testing import after each step.

    0. Double check you have the latest Premiere and graphics versions installed
    1. While launching Premiere, hold down Shift + Alt (this clears your prefs)
    2. Delete your media cache files – https://forums.adobe.com/thread/2152942
    3. Try moving your Media Cache to a new location
    4. Uninstall Premiere Pro > Run cleaner tool (https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html) > Reinstall Premiere Pro

    Let us know how it goes!

    Sadly the issue is still here, completely randomized. I’ll try as you said, thank you very much for the support!

    Was a solution ever found?
    I’m running a very similar machine, ryzen 1700 (OC’d to 1700x speeds) and a gtx1060.
    I’m guessing it’s something to do with the AMD chips, considering this is the only other instance I’ve seen of the issue.
    Any solutions yet?

    i think you’re right about the AMD chip connection. I don’t think this is an issue for many others.

    I don’t think it’s an AMD chip connection, I have the same issue. It happens about 1 out of 5 times for me. It’s bad enough that when starting a project I make sure to grab everything on the first import and then never, ever, ever import again. I save religiously but I was being a heretic once and this issue bit me pretty bad.

    I have the exact same problem with the crash on import. It is completely random and only happens when i try to directly import. When using the media browser to import, i never have this problem. I also have random freezes when i do a “save as”
    These are problems that have been around for a while, but I left sony Vegas to work with Adobe CC to avoid these kind of basic crashes and I have to pay a monthly fee for this???

    Experiencing the same issue using PP CC2018. I have an Intel chip, crashes almost every time when double clicking to import, or doing File > Import, but dragging the clip into the project bin works fine. Very frustrating.
