Critical Error Occured, when rendering timeline. Help!
I have windows vista, not the 64 bit version, 2 gigs of ram. Dual core processor. I have at least 250gb free on my hard drive. I have made several movies in premiere and haven’t had a problem until now.
Just recently I started adding psds, jpgs, wmv’s and a bunch of title slates. I was doing everything and rendering out with no problems. The other day I tried putting in another psd file (had transparent layers on it)I tried rendering the timeline and I got an error that said. Critical error occurred. Premiere Pro has stopped working and needs to shut down. So, I figured it was the transparent layers with the psd. So I convereted the files as sepearte layers to png files. Same error. It will bring up the render box for a split second then crash! So I dumped those files, the titles, the wmv, and I had one .mov file. Same error! What gives? I got back to a previous version of the file where I didn’t add any of the extra stuff in and it renders out fine! Any help would be much appreciated.

All I can suggest is add them back one at a time and see which one crashes things.

Before you destroy the newest project with the problem I’d make sure the render files are deleted (Sequence>Delete Render Files…Yes)
Then I’d look at the images you have in there. Check that the sizes aren’t over 2000×2000 and that the original is less 300dpi. It won’t matter which format you have them in (JPG, PSD, ETC) video is 72dpi so if you have a picture that’s 2000×2000 with 300dpi it will be looking at the picture as though it is 72dpi which will convert the 300dpi divided by 72dpi = 4.167 times that figure with the image size and your 2000×2000 images it like 8333×8333. That’s way too big and crashes the system. Change any pics you have to 72dpi in Photoshop but untick the resample box so it stays the same size only dpi is affected. Should work properly then.

Thanks guys! Got it to work. I saved my project as a different name. I deleted one of the video files. I had it sped up to the max. For some reason Premiere couldn’t handle that much speed I guess. I was doing a time lapse. I guess premiere is not the program to do time lapses in 🙂
