Premiere Freeze/crash when export

[Samuele Latino]

Hello Bob,

In fact, this discussion has helped me a lot, especially to evaluate where it might be the problem! However I’m not really a professional, basically I only help my father, even though I work in this field for more than 3 years with him, but I’m more inclined to graphics than for the video

Hi Samuele,
Glad you figured out how to get back in production with a new hard drive.
Best of luck.

Hi Jeff,
Just saw your response today. I appreciate your comprehensive suggestions. I have saved your response and will utilize your suggestions the next time I upgrade.

I did realize my video card was not on the Adobe list to use the Mercury engine, but I wasn’t aware of how much that upgrade would increase the speed of rendering and exporting. I will look for an i7 2600 / GTX 750-60 system the next time I buy a used system on ebay.

I’m a retired unix sys admin and am just a video hobbyist and only create a few videos a year to post on my youtube channel, so the slower export times don’t effect me that much. I can let the export run while watching some TV shows or having dinner. But I do enjoy problem solving and testing my system, cameras, software, etc.

Right now I’m using a 500GB usb2 verbatim pocket drive as the second drive to render and export CS6 videos to. Do you think updating to a usb3 pocket drive would be faster or slower than a using a second 7200 SATA drive?

Thanks for sharing your knowlege.

Bob
