Jan – You mentioned in your previous post that OX 13E16 seed fixes the above mentioned problem. Unfortunately this is NOT the case. I am currently running 13E16 and the same problem exists. Exports with gpu acceleration will crash your system (for those with 2013 Mac Pros).

Kevin – this is not a footage problem. It is a problem with Premiere Pro. Adobe need to acknowledge this.

Kevin – Please contact Jason, it turns out he has the same problems as those that have been reported. If you don’t have his email I can give it to you.

Hi Kevin;

Good to know Adobe is working on this.

Interesting that you’re hearing that some users are not experiencing this? I know of nobody running 10.9.3 that does not have this problem… but of course do not have the pool of interactions that you do. Note that there are some recent examples of users on forums initially saying they did not, but upon further tests they do.

Regardless – please pass along any thoughts, ideas or fixes.

Yes – an exported source file with glitches from corruptions during export. The export was from an image sequence to 4k ProRes HQ. Most of the time Premiere will simply crash on export and not just time lapses/image sequences – most exports to ProRes.

All 3rd party plug-ins are disabled and still glitchy as hell with beta 10.9.4. Below screen grab of typical export errors.

Hi Andy,

Yes – this is a common suggestion, but unfortunately does not work. Note also that the beta release of 10.9.4 (available to developers of which I am one) does not fix these compatibility issues. Blackmagic’s Resolve has also been taken out by Apple’s recent update (10.9.3).

Hi Kevin,

I am aware of the issues with Resolve and believe they are related. It seems that Apple has effectively made their flagship computer unusable for video production (at least for those not using FCP). I am quite concerned that Adobe is on the cusp of loosing all they gained from those who switch from FCP7. This is quite serious for pro video production. I hope that the Adobe engineers at the current Apple WWDC are all over this.

There appears to be rumors that the beta release 10.9.4 will solve the Open CL incapabilities that are causing multiple crashes with Premiere and the New Mac Pro. Unfortunately THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I have loaded 10.9.4 and sadly the same problems/crashes persist.

Attached is a screen shot typical of the type of crash you get with AMD FirePro cards on the new Mac Pro with 10.9.3. Having spent many hours on the phone with both Apple and Adobe I can confirm that it is an acknowledge bug that will only be fixable upon the next update by Apple and/or Adobe. A lot of editors are in a world of hurt right now.
