  • Premiere Pro with large Video in Timeline crashing !!

    Posted by Wolf on April 6, 2005 at 9:35 pm

    I have a big problem with films with many cuts and effects in the timeline. (duration about 10 minutes only)
    If I change now blocks in the timeline, the Program hangs itself up and the raid-disk (not the system-disk with
    the operation system) work very strongly.
    If I have patience and wait, the Program returns after a few minutes.
    With a film, which is not so complicated, but is even much longer (30-40 minutes) and I change blocks, everthing is okay.
    I think my computer is fast enough: P4 3,2 Gh, 4GByte RAM!! Disk Raid with 800 Gbyte (4 S-ata disks) and decklink pro
    To find the problem i exchanged the raid-disks (4 new disks!!) as the systemdisk,
    installed again the operating system, changed the Raid-controller!!, changed the Ram-memory!!!!
    I tried already everything, nothing helps.
    Also i installed a Program those from time to time the RAM delete…. no chance.
    Perhaps someone found the same problem and a solution.

    I hope for your assistance…..please help

    My understanding is that Windows XP supports only 2 GB of RAM. I would try the same project with just 2 GB RAM and maybe with just one. Also make sure your page file is not on the system drive.

    Right click on My Computer and choose Properties>Advanced>Performance options>settings>Advanced>Virtual memory>Change…Select the Drive for the Page File…custom size for 2 GB is Initial size= 1536, Max size is 3072.

    Claus:

    I (and I believe Peter Corbett, too) wrestled with PPro crashing. I was near the end of cutting a 20 minute film when the crashing began. It actually began after I installed a BMD driver update. Everytime I adjusted the length, moved or brought a new clip to the timeline, I would get the “a serious error has occured…” message. I finally uninstalled that driver update and reinstalled the previous driver. The crashing ceased. I forget which driver versions they were, but they were several versions back.

    After the project was finished and output (but still in my system), I reinstalled the driver I thought was to blame for the crashing. I did everything I could think of to recreate the crashing, but it did not occur even once. Go figure.

    So, if you haven’t tried completely uninstalling the BMD driver and software, you might want to give it a try. As you well know, great mysteries lie within these very un-finite machines whereby mere restarting solves most problems. Good luck.

    Thank you Bill,

    i will try do install a previous driver version and look if premiere still crashing.
    (i already installed windows XP, Premiere Pro and decklink on a brand new disk, but it still crashed)

    But perhaps, when i install a new driver, deinstall it, install a old dirver..deinstall the old driver and then reinstall again the new driver… 🙂 who knows….perhaps it will work.

    You a right with mysteries in maschines 😉

    Thanks….i tell you the result

    Hi Bill

    You do not believe it.
    I installed the old driver (4.7) and Premiere functioned now great. Unbelievably!
    I don

    BMD is Black Magic ……. I do not have that on my PC, but I have the same problem of crashing and serious errors. Would there be a suggestion for a BMD-less PC (quad core)?
