Premiere Crashing During Preview Render – HD
We are working in 720P HD project. We use Cineform Aspect HD as anintermediate format. System keeps crashing when we are rendering our previews on the timeline. It starts the preview and will go 10, 20 maybe 30% and then aborts or freezes.
Thoughts?

Use your workarea bar to render a little bot of the sequence at one time. It may help you discover which clip is causing you a problem.

Thanks Steven,
Yes that is how we actually get the render to work. We set the work area bar for a smaller section of the timeline and it seems to work fine that way. So it isn’t a bad section on the timeline, as smaller renders work. So any other thoughts on why the full-length render does not work?

Is there a chance that one or more of your scratch drives are FAT32 instead of NTFS? Maybe the preview file is too big for the drive?

I’m having a similar problem with my 720p60 HD movies.. each only about 4 minutes long. Premier seems stable – no crashing or locking up – but during playback, it freezes at every video transition effect. I just chalked this up to my pc not being powerful enough to handle the fx AND the HD, but if anyone has any advice on setting up scratch disks, it would help this greenhorn out quite a bit. I’ve been capturing and storing the HD footage on my 4x80gb 7200rpm SATA RAID0, which is also what Adobe apparently set up as my scratch disk, as I don’t remember making any changes to PP2 after installing the new array. I figured my pc could at least handle shorter movies, but who knows…

Good thought but nope, we are using NTFS throughout

Could it be one of the effects you are using? Why are you having to render in the first place?

Only effect we are using is a dissolve transition between clips for the most part. So I don’t think it is the effect. We are rendering because with Cineform Aspect HD we do not see our transition until we have done a render preview. Otherwise we get a red X in the upper left hand corner at the transition point. So we need to render it.
