Premiere crashes on ‘save’ or clip selection.
Hi,
I have 4 Premiere Pro CS5 sequences I have been working on for the past week, which all consist of HDV footage, captured and edited in Premiere and all sequences end in an uncompressed .AVI clip created in After Effects.
All was fine with the project, until one tiny detail needed altering in the AE project for the closing clip. The same sequence was rendered out, under the same name and format settings. Opening Premiere, the AVI clips show as ‘Media Pending’ yet thumbnails on timeline clips are shown. Trying to render the video previews from the timeline, the render process hangs on frame 99 everytime.
If I click on the clip in the timeline, I get a ‘serious error has occurred’ message and Premiere closes. I have renamed the clips locally causing them to be offline, which makes no difference when trying to remove them. I cannot remove or even touch these clips without a crash. I’ve re-rendered these in case the .AVIs were corrupt and I still have the same trouble.
Would there be any way to remove or diagnose problems with these clips successfully?
Most worrying is the fact Premiere crashes as soon as I attempt to save the project.
System: Windows 7 64bit, AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.21GHz, 8GB RAM, CS5.
Any help or a shove in the right direction would be great, thanks.

Also when trying to bring the troublesome premiere project into After Effects, Dynamic Link crashes and PProHeadless.exe delivers a big old error. Lovely!
Could it be just 2 awkward AVIs causing all this mess?

Try deleting all render files in all sequences. This fixes most PrPro CS5 freezing and slowing problems for me. Subject of much discussion on the Adobe PRPro forums, there is apparently a fix in the works. I stopped doing renders unless I have a lot of effects and want to check how a particular section is working. Once I finish that section, I delete the render files.
