Wow if you’re still on Snow Leopard you should be running Mtn Lion…
Early last week I did an upgrade install of Mountain Lion over Snow Leopard.
Mainly for the impending release of CC.Did a disk clone first (of course) just in case.
The upgrade went smooth, no problems at all or spinning beach ball oddities.
The first thing on bootup: Cuda says it needs updating from 4x to 5x.
Premiere CS6 renders/exports MUCH more reliably now.
I would occasionally have render or export failures with sequences
that had many layers, requiring a reboot.
not anymore!I would have upgraded to Mountain Lion much sooner had I known.

Is that a Mac Pro 3,1? What video card are you using?
I have tried without success to install both Lion and Mountain Lion on a spare drive in my machine for evaluation purposes. The reboot process to complete the installation stalled persistently. Apple couldn’t offer an explanation. Suspect it might be the NVidia card, a GeForce GTX 285 as, according to Apple’s specs, the Mac Pro 3,1 is compatible with both OSX 10.7 and 10.8.

Thanks for the info, I’ve read elsewhere that Premiere Pro runs more smoothly on Mountain Lion. I’ll hold off further hardware upgrades and see what the new Mac Pro offers.

Is your EFI firmware up to date?
Also maybe reset the PRAM if you haven’t already.
That might be the cause of your system hanging on the
reboot after upgrading. -
Yes, ML is a much more stable OS and experience for Premiere Pro.
