  • PPRO CS4 crashes after preview render

    Posted by John Stanowski on August 7, 2009 at 8:21 pm

    Suddenly PPRO CS4 is crashing on me everytime I hit Enter to render a preview. I’ve been working on this project for a few days now and haven’t had any trouble until today.

    Everytime I render a preview it goes through the motions, then, when it tries to play the sequence, it suddenly stops and a few seconds later just disappears and crashes.

    The only thing I did differently from before is I made a new sequence and pasted in the timeline from a previous sequence.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Could the render scratch disk be full?
    Check the scratch disk settings…

    Project>Project Settings>Scratch Disks…

    Video Preview, might be set to ‘same as project’. May need to see how full the drive your project is.

    Also could be the cache drive, usually the C:\Drive. If that’s nearly full again you can change it.

    Edit>Preferences>Media… try the clean button for the media cache database. if it still doesn’t help, set the cache drive somewhere else.

    I just figured it out. It wasn’t the cache locations. I have a second drive for that. After reading other posts about similar problems I wound up making yet another new sequence and set the preview settings to Quicktime and then pasted my timeline in. It works fine now. I usually work in After Effects so these little things throw me in PPro.
