Crash reduction

Postby OmniStrata » Sat Mar 10, 2007 2:10 pm

I've overclocked my comp to 2.81 GHz and made sure it was Prime95 stable for 10+ hours [if you don't know what that is, just move down the page]

My Premiere [which was stable for exporting before], now crashes at my 3:20 section of my amv every time I export.

I checked that area and it scans and plays back the file just fine but the [insert most graphic expletive you can here]-ing thing keeps crashing at around that time area...

And further more, additional cpu stability tests prove hopeless [as in my hardware is fine]

so I was wondering, Premiere 6.5 [not pro] is what I'm using and what I want to know is what you people do to reduce crashing on your premiere exports

I'm trying to export a quick beta for just plain viewing [to see if everything's in working order]. I'm trying to use either XviD or ffdshow (XviD again) to look at. I tried a Huffyuv and Lagarith attempt but those crashed too quickly...

What to do...

Export an image sequence. When it crashes, you still have all the previous frames, so you can just try restarting the export at the same frame it quit on.

Do it in segments.

Also, if the area that's crashing has a crossfade (to nothing) on a still image, try getting rid of it and keyframing transparency instead.

Also, try Optimizing Stills.

not a crossfade but more of a fade to nothing using a trackmatte

I have keyframed transparency and optimized stills on
