Premiere Pro 1.5 go Boom

The14thGOD · Post by **The14thGOD** » Mon Nov 12, 2007 11:26 pm

Anyone know why APP 1.5 crashes randomly (both in edit mode and export mode). Granted I know sometimes video tends to crash but every single project Ive done, well almost, has had problems up the *** exporting and it always crashes. No error most of the time, just close.

Any ideas? (I'll be switching to APP CS 3 after this project, hopefully that works better).

I've been using the guide (old version of AV Tech).

Thanks in advance,

Justin

I've seen Premiere Pro go crazy on the previews, but it's rare that it crashes on me... what are you using as source clips?

It´s common (at least for me) if you use avs and if you have some bad settings for it.

1. Disable all the cleaning stuff in your avs scripts.
2. Set the max amount of memory for avs in the "Premiere avs GUI" to 4 MB.

This way I can work fine with it. Of course those errors can still come along if you´re out of RAM!!

To export:
Export "uncompressed" (you can choose it from the codec list) and export only work areas from your sequence like only every minute. You can mix the sequences back together in Premiere (works fine, because it doesn´t need so much hardware ressources. You can export now the whole movie in uncompressed or Lagarith or HuffYUV codec) or in VDM with the simpel avs script:

Code: Select all

Avisource("videopart-1.avi")+Avisource("videopart-2.avi")+... Avisource("videopart-n.avi")

I'll be switching to APP CS 3 after this project, hopefully that works better

Sry my experience says that CS3 is worse in that case. I would appreciate it if somebody tells me that I´m wrong on this (oh god please ;_; ).

when I was having problems with pro 1.5 on my laptop I did some digging.
It was on some forum (maybe the adobe support forums?), anyway...the problem seemed to be 2 corrupt files (both were in premiere pro's directory in my documents)

I can't remember much else, but I'll look for that info again
