Premier Pro CS6 constantly crashing

[Andrew Sorlie]

Hey Everyone – i’ve just recently signed up for Creative Cow and I am in the same boat as a lot of you here with one possible variable difference. I’m editing 5DM2 footage out of camera into Premiere CS6.0.2. I have a 2011 15″ MBP with 16 GB ram, I just installed a brand new OWC Extreme 6G SSD and also used their data doubler to remove my optical drive and put my existing HD in the optical drive spot. So I have 10.8.2 and all my applications running off of the SSD and all of our raw footage on the original HD.

We have three licenses of CS6 and I seem to be the only one of three computers having this problem. Our other computers run CS6 with zero crashes (one is a brand new 15″ retina with a 750gb ssd and the other is a 2009 mac pro tower with 20GB ram and a whack load of space (12 TB or something like that – not SSD though)…

Could an SSD drive be responsible for any of my and your woes??

I’m having daily and sometimes hourly crashes for mundane things like hitting the J key to rewind on my timeline, and similar problems to Erik – resizing clips, moving things around too quickly, literally just regular editing stuff….

I just bought a brand new Samsung laptop and simply cannot work with Premiere Pro. It crashes as soon as I load movies. I don’t know wether I blame Samsung, Adobe or Windows 8

Is your graphics card compatible with Premiere? Here’s the info on their specs:

I get the same error message when I’m working in the timeline in Premiere. I have a brand new MacBook Pro I just bought 3 weeks ago. But, it’s only 4GB RAM. I just ordered 16GB. So maybe that will help?

This error and shutdown of Premiere Pro has happened with 3 of the last 5 projects I’ve worked on, and it happens pretty frequently. I use the Adobe Cloud. Very frustrating. I’m tech-stupid. Have no idea what to do.

Yes 16GB will be very beneficial running Premiere Pro. If you have the model with the GT 650M make sure you update to the latest CUDA driver.

so has anyone found the reason behind these crashes yet?

I first thought it could be because of Mavericks, but here I read that they have been around before Mavericks.
