project trim error

[Shane Chadder]

Trimmed projects crashes can be tough to troubleshoot. I find it most often relates to Premiere having trouble trimming certain codecs or files, and sometimes the larger the project the more finicky it seems to be.

What I do is….

1) Start the trim process as normal
2) Open the folder the files are being written to and leave it open on top of Premiere.
3) When premier chokes DON’T click on the OK. First write down the name of the file it last tried to write.
4) Now click OK.
5) Set that file it choked on as “offline” in the bin and restart the process.
6) Once you get the trim to work manally copy the problem files over and relink them in the trimmed project.

Right now in version 2.0 I find that if I use *.psd files as logos in titles a large project will choke during trimming. Small projects are ok.
