[Metodi Petrov]

Of course, excuse my impatience!
I use Matrox Parhelia 256mb video card,
IntelCoreDuo 2ghz and 3.25gb of RAM(Corsair)
with Windows XP 64bit edition,Service pack 2, ACE Mega Pack codecs 6.03(recently temporary removed).
I use Adobe CS3, also with Premiere, Photoshop, Ilustrator, Encore.
Also along with adobe I have installed Edius Broadcast 4.6 and Procoder 3.0.
Recently I used to work with standart avi, mpeg2, mov PAL footage, along with tga, jpeg, psd and more.

I have the same issue I’m trying to solve. I have a different system:
Gigabyte EP35C-DSR3 motherboard
WinXp Pro SP2 32bit
GeForce 8400GS 256mb videocard

What we have in common is I also have Edius 4.6 and ProCoder 3. Let’s try uninstalling those and see if it helps. It won’t solve the problem, but will narrow it down to where the problem lies.

[Metodi Petrov]

ok, let me now how is it going on with yours system after!

Dear Dave,

as I already explained, AE crashed on any attempt to drag down to the composition ANY type of file! I don’t use any type of mpeg in my work!
The wierd is that premiere crashed too in the very same way!
I just can’t explain it, cause if I open an old project it’s all working fine until I try to import and drag a new file!

Any suggestions?

Cheers

OK,
I removed edius 4.6 and procoder 3.0 from my sistem, then restart,
then removed AE and Premiere, then restart and then a fresh install both of them and do you know whats happend?!
NOTHING
still the same shit,
crashing!
I’m just pissed of this buggy situation, it’s pain in the ass,
don’t now what to do now, I tried almost everything and any result!
How is it going with you Tim Kurka?
Hope you have more luck then me:)
Cheers

There is clearly something going on with Edius 4.6 and CS3. I did the same thing you did with no luck, but then I did this:
I did a Windows XP Pro install on a new drive to make sure everything was clean. I installed AE CS3 and it worked fine. I installed Edius 4.6, then the problem showed up again in AE CS3. I uninstalled Edius 4.6, then manually removed remaining remnants of Edius in the registry. I thought the Canopus Codec could be the issue, but I left that installed to see. AE CS3 worked fine. I installed Edius 4.5 I got from a friend to run a test and CS3 worked!

I really wanted Edius 4.6 because plugins are now available, but I will not give up AE CS3. Grass Valley is aware of the situation, but for some reason this is not a problem across the board. Some people are running 4.6 and CS3 fine. I will just go back to 4.0 for now. Another solution if you want is to install another instance of Windows and have Edius on one and Adobe on the other. You just have to reboot every time you want to switch applications.

I have very similar problem on both my computers (Lenovo notebook + desktop PC, both running WinXP Pro SP3). Whenever there is Canopus Edius 4.6 installed, none of the Adobe applications work correctly. If I try to drag clips to timeline (in Encore, AfterEffects or Premiere) it crashes down. I tried Adobe CS2 Production Suite, CS3 PS and now CS4 Master Suite and it is the same in all versions.
It worked before with older versions of Canopus Edius (for sure with v.3). Now there is a new Edius v.5, I hope to be able to test it in future.
I can repeat this error any time, if I install Edius, dragging to timeline stops working, when I uninstall and reboot it works again. It is not enough to remove Edius + ProCoder but also Canopus Codec option.
I have seen this problem reported by many users on many forums, so it IS a common problem.
I wonder if Thomson + Adobe will work together to solve this issue?

It would be nice, can you please post the official Adobe Respond in this tread too?

Getting the same issue running CS4 on a Mac Pro 2 x 3 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X 10.5.7
Nvidia GeForce 8800GT

Happens when dragging from either Finder, or from window to window within AE. And happens with almost all my projects. No Edius stuff that I know of. It could be footage, a still, or even an effect applied to a layer….weird…
