  • Help Needed ASAP!! Premiere Crashing

    Posted by Andrew Bennett on January 15, 2009 at 11:56 pm

    I’m running Premiere CS3 on a Dell desktop, with with 2GBs of RAM, and I have no clue what kind of graphics card.

    Every time I try to open a certain project Premiere crashes, it used to happen after about 15 minutes or so of being inside the project. Now it does not even load all the way. All of our media has come off P2 cards, and is stored on a 1TB external hard drive. This particular project is rather large as it holds a football seasons worth of highlights. All other projects open and run perfectly normal. I have tried everything from restarting the computer to uninstalling Adobe Master Suite and then reinstalling it. I have no clue what is going on inside Premiere, I have spent the last month on this project, and its due a week from today. If you need anymore information about the project or the computer let me know. I am open to any all suggestions.

    Thanks in Advanced,
    Andrew Bennett

    Below are screenshots from Premiere. These are the errors I get just before Premiere crashes.
    sorry they’re a little large. Hope this helps!

    Try opening a new project, import the old project into the new project, and open it. DOnt run anything else. Unplug the internet and check what is running in the background using msconfig. Turn off any unneeded plug ins that are RAM eaters. Also- make sure you have about 20% free disc space on your harddrive.

    luck

    I tried everything you suggested and the project still does not open. All my drives have 20+% free space. The only thing I can think of doing is re-image the computer. HELP ME!!!

    The next thing to try is to close PPro, rename the folder(s) that contain your clips to effectively hide them from PPro. Then when you open the project click on “offline all” and see whether or not the project loads.

    Cheers

    Ok, I went and renamed 95% of the folders attached to the project. The ones I didnt contain graphics and music, no actual P2 clips. My thought now is to go through and remove all unsed media from the project, to make the project as small as possible. Since I’m working with an entire football season, I was also thinking about going through and deleting each game one at a time to see if there was one particular game that was causing the problem. I’m going to start on that now, I’ll be checking back regulary. Thanks for the help, it is very much apprecialted!
