How to break up a project if you cannot open it properly without a crash? Or when the rare event of succesfully loading the project is followed by freezing during playback or merely scrolling through the timeline??

Any suggestions to save my (2 month fulltime) work would be most appreciated.

I am working on an hour HDV project on a quad core, ATI 512, 4 Gb RAM system with PPCS3.

Sandra, have you solved your problem. Having the same problems. If so how?

[Rob De jong]

I have experienced the same problem and tried your suggestion. I imported the project into a new project after hiding the source clips. The project loads with all clips offline. But then even when I scroll through the ’empty’ project Premiere CS3 crashes. I have also reinstalled Premiere and defragmentated the system drive. With other projects I can work without errors.

Would you have any other suggestion?

BMD is Black Magic ……. I do not have that on my PC, but I have the same problem of crashing and serious errors. Would there be a suggestion for a BMD-less PC (quad core)?

[Rob De jong]

With me the same problem. Have you solved it somehow?

Try changing the name of the project. This helps for a while.
If not, try to find where exactly the error is caused. Remove the file (usually a title) and render first without that file. Put it back and render again.

Many thanks for your advise.

I have been doing some more detailed observations regarding rendering the timeline. It turns out that I only get errors at titles. When I remove all titles, there is no problem at all.

As I mentioned in previous mails, when I open the title generator I get a message that Premiere is running low on system memory. It seems that something is going on with the titles. Would that information maybe help in solving the problem??

Thanks Eddie,
I have tried lots of possibilities mentioned in the link you supplied and in other posts and forums. Nothing so far seems to help.

I am working with app 150 mt2 files (IN THE SEQUENCE REDUCED TO APP 1/2 HOUR) which is more or less the same as avi. For the rest I use many titles and speed up clips. Also I import some Standard Definition clips in my HDV project in a different layer (different video track I mean). I do ask much from the software BUT I have the same problem in small projects with only a few minuites of clips. And the errors sometimes occur even when I only try to render a simple still title.

What would you suggest? I was thinking of upgrading to cs4 if only i was sure that that would solve the problem. Or might there be a hardware problem? I am running a quad core machine.

Thanks,
Rob

Strange I just made a project full with shadow highlight effect. No problem at all.
