PPro is now completely unstable

Call Adobe Tech Support… A technician will remote into your computer and it will be fixed when they’re done.

Have you tried to clean media cache?

THANKS!! That really helped a lot. I’m still going through it and testing as there are a few issues (like artifacts appearing randomly in previews), but it’s usable now. Will test more and get back if I find anything severe. Also, I changed the settings so the media cache will be deleted periodically. Guess this is sort of the PPro version of FCP’s delete the preferences.

Samuel,

Sounds like you’re getting things working better… and that’s terrific. However, I just want you to know that, had you called Adobe as I suggested, they would have done everything you’re doing, albeit after remoting in to your computer, but with a major difference being that the Adobe support engineer would have done more, while all the time talking you through the process to educate you.

FYZi, I’m telling you this because, prior to CC, I used to be one of those guys who was always fixing everyone’s NLEs – and, I never called tech support, because I knew more than they did. But, Adobe changed all that – when Adobe created CC, cuz they completely revamped their tech support dept, and they hired and trained a boatload of really good technicians.

Most experienced Premiere users never call because Adobe Tech Support used be a big PITA, but just so you and everyone else here know, those days are over, Adobe Tech Support is now quite awesome.

Thank you for the support advice David.

I agree that Adobe upped their help quality by 200%. I had a wonderful tech take over my new computer and solved everything in minutes. I still would have been trying to cope with glitches without her expertiese.

Eric

Many thanks.

Thank you Eric! Honestly, I thought some of the folks around here having hardware and driver issues might jump down my throat, because honestly, Adobe Tech Support are not as helpful with problems I n those areas. And, I do admit, their primary expertise is with their own software, there are simply too many different hardware configurations for them to be as good in sorting out those issues.
