  • Crashing upon opening !!!!

    Posted by Rob Oday on September 19, 2008 at 1:04 pm

    Very bizzare issue here.

    On the main machine if I try to open recent HDV projects, on the machine that captured and initially edited it, CS3 crashes before its loaded the project.
    Even if I delete the preview file folders and the other ones, still same problem.

    HOWEVER !
    If I open this on a laptop we have here, it opens perfectly (just has to do the indexing obviously).

    Does anyone else know why that is happening?

    One trick is to close the project then rename the folder that the source clips are in to effectively “hide” it from Premiere Pro. Next, open your project and offline all clips. This will get you into your project. Now you can online the clips one by one and you will probably find one that will fail. That’s the one that will need to be replaced.

    Cheers

    Hi Eddie !

    Many thanks for that trick, I’ll give it a go in one moment!

    The laptop is faster, but I need to be editing with sounds as well for this one.

    Hmm, sounds like we’re dealing with a corrupt project file. Not good.

    Try creating a new project and importing the problem project.

    Cheers

    Yep, I have also tried that (the importing into a new project).
    Still crashes on one system, but is perfectly fine on the laptop.

    I have other projects that use the same combination of FX, and they open up fine.
    VERY VERY WEIRD !
