  • preventing unknown errors that occur during editing

    hi everyone

    I have a problemo.
    i recently worked on a project. I had imported 30scenes in mpeg-2 format and my job was to make a happy little movie with sound.
    halfway the editing, premiere suddenly said that a “Unknow error has occurd” and it had to shut down, but it also asked if it should try to recover the project. ofcourse, the unknow error is a weird thing by itself, but the recover project wasn’t stable and shut down with the same error.

    now my question. i have another simmulair project to be done, and i don’t want to do everything for nothing. so how would i prevent such a unknow error most of the time halfway the edition.
    the sound/mp3’s are converted to .wav as well.

    i’m working on a Dell inspiron 6400 laptop, 2GB of ram, Intel dual core processor (T2500). it’s quit new and runs stable when using premiere pro 2 and after effects 7
    thanxs

    [Ultimate Bart] “runs stable when using premiere pro 2”
    Ppro2 is not mpeg friendly, use something like Premiere Elements, VideoRedo Suite, Vegas Movie Studio, Ulead Studio

    hi

    i would like to keep pp2 because i’m using it next to After effects. (editing in PP2 en animatie/color correct/cool stuff doing in AE)

    those products you named arn’t as familiar with me as pp2
    mayby someone can tell my why it has problems with mpegs (after effects doesn’t have that problem)

    from adobe , they say that pp2 does supprt mpeg:

    MPEG-1, MPEG-2 (.mpg, .mpeg, .mpe, .m2v)
    https://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=332612

    and all my mpeg’s are running normal in pp2, no weird things at all.

    I think the problem could reside in the mp3 file. Where did you convert them to .wav? Did you do it on PP2? if so, did you do it on the same project in which you are editing the mpg2?
    I once had a similar problem; I was also using mpg2, plus normal avis and so on. The audio was also of mixed formats including mp3. I initially converted the mp3 in PP2, but the problem would persist, so I converted them in Audition to .wav.
    Then imported the newly made .wav to a new PP2 project.
    If you keep experiencing problems, try exporting all your MPG2 files separatelly as uncompressed avis, and then import them to your project.

    heey

    yes all my audio is in .wav
    I say that there are three options, or convert it to avi as you said.
    or buy the very expensive MPEG plugin from mainconcept. or try working with them anyway
    I will try once more working with them, because the error is only after some time. if i finished before i wouldn’t noticed anything. the rest is working properly. if the error still occurs i will convert them

    thanxs!
