Adobe Premiere Malfunction

Jason · Post by **Jason** » Tue Oct 12, 2004 2:43 am

I'm just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone:

I tried to open a project today and everytime it gets about halfway loaded that "Adobe Premiere needs to close" box pops up and ends the program. I've tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it doesn't seem to have fixed anything. Any ideas?

Thanks for all of your feedback

Well sure! Every program has it's bad days. If it's constant then it'll cause problems.

Uninstall, restart, reinstall, shut down, and shut back on later and then try. Like epsilon said, sometimes programs just get cr**. Check your prossessies when editing, close EVERYTHING but premire, other programs viruses trojians ect. sometimes cuase things to just shut down or shut off.

I've tried everything and it still won't open...

This doesn't look good.

are you trying to open up an existing project? or does it shut down only after trying to start the program. because it you are trying to open a project then it could be a corrupt file. otherwise try what everyone else has been saying. could be missing a file or something that is necessary for premiere to run correctly. have you run premiere fine in the past?

If it's worked before, chances are good a start-up file was corrupted. Perhaps a newly installed program changed a few things around in the system registry.

it did work before, and I haven't deleted anything that would have messed anything up. I haven't even installed anything new either.

It is an existing project.

There is also the possibility of spyware, adware, viruses, data miners, etc... Have you run any of those checks lately?

Hey good news, I managed to find a disc that had most of the work saved on it. I'll just work on it from there. Thanks for the advice though, I do need to defragment my hard drive now that I think about it.

I was going to say ***<<<LAST RESORT>>>*** Re-Format.

Formatting your disc is not a last resort at all, it's the opposite, a guarenteed loss of all data you may hope to recover.

while we're on the topic of premiere pro malfunctions, i have a scene from my movie edited in premiere and it refuses to export it. it gets to a certain frame and just freezes. all my other scenes work fine and i've tried multiple export formats (divx, WMV9, huffy UV, quicktime etc) and they all do it. any thoughts?

the same thing has happened to me...but I just changed the format to DV AVI and it works then. Perhaps it is an issue with disk space, or memory? Try emailing premiere techinal support and see what they have to say.
