Got the solution from Chad Baker at Adobe technical support. I had tried the GPU “hack” with CS5 (but not CS 5.5). Evidently, just having the CUDA extensions and preference panel installed in OS X were causing problems. I removed them and did a reinstall of the OS. Voila, problem fixed.

Thanks again for the suggestion, Jon. Unfortunately it didn’t work. Premiere CS 5.5 still crashes when I attempt to open saved projects that have clips on the timeline. Still no return call from Adobe tech support either, despite several promises from them to do so. Very disappointing.

I’ll give it a whirl. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes, it’s Premiere CS5.5 that is crashing. I don’t have CS4 on this machine, only CS5 and 5.5 The weird part is, it only happens after I’ve added a few items to the timeline (anything – stills, video, or audio) then saved, and closed the project/program. The next time I attempt to load the project it crashes Premiere. I can open the project to my heart’s content as long as there is nothing on the timeline. CS5 still works fine.

Thanks for the suggestion, Jon. I had actually already tried repairing disc permissions. No success. I’ll try removing CS5 once I’ve completed my current project.

I’m now using CS4 on the Mac and Flash export works perfectly. Adobe never did get it fixed in CS3 for newer versions of Quicktime, so the only workaround is to revert to Qt 7.3.1, a huge pain to say the least! CS4 is far superior to CS3 and I would certainly recommend an upgrade as the better solution.

That’s good to know Tim, thanks.

Sorry, just noticed that you said CS3. Only CS4 has the ability to import Final Cut projects. I don’t know if he will be able to edit ProRes 422 clips on Windows with CS3. Pretty sure he’d have to buy Quicktime Pro to get the ProRes codec, though.

Check out DAV’s Tech Table (just google to find the blog). Scroll down a little from the top and you will see his entry and how to do this.

Sorry Marc, but I don’t have any more ideas. As I noted, my project was started in CS3 before I opened it in CS4 and started editing. Performance was sluggish and I soon started getting the “ImporterProcessServer” freezes/crashes.
The steps that worked for me were to rename the source folder holding the EX1 clips, then manually relink all of the footage in the PPro CS4 project. The difference in performance has been amazing. Response is very fast and smooth, with no hesitation whatsover when scrubbing or playing at various speeds.
Did you start your project in CS3 or was it CS4 from the start?
