Premiere Pro Constant & Annoying Crashes <_<

Ryvannis · Post by **Ryvannis** » Mon Apr 07, 2008 12:33 am

Well I'm on my brand new computer and I have been trying to do my AMV project on Premiere Pro CS3. I'm running a Avisynth plugin (Which works fine with it) and I keep crashing, whenever I'm saving, using the program. or when I'm idling.

When I try to exit the damn thing properly it purposely crashes for no reason, giving me "This program has experienced a error and needs to exit" sort of thing, it happens again even after I exit!

I want to know whats the issue because I tried regular uncompressed AVI files and those dont change a thing.
Here are my system specs:

E6400
9600GT
2 GB Ram
80GB+160GB HDs
Gigabyte P35 Motherboard
Windows Vista Ultimate

It should be more then capable of running it fine, the good thing is I get fast renders but even then when that happens it crashes.
Any idea on what could be causing all these issues?

I'd really like to get through one session without a crash but that doesn't seem possible.

try adding setmemorymax(8) to the beginning of all the scripts you are importing into cs3

Guess Vista hates AVISynth, now when I load up my project it crashes.

I'll install XP immediately and report back my results.

I also used Vista and all of my projects were fine!
So my guess is you have to many avs files imported like if you use a standard series it would be 26 or 13 D=
Also you might change the avs plugin settings to a lower memory level.
I also got that error while closing prmiere, but I saved the project before closing premiere so I was fine (it only occured with my Ikki Tousen footage)

I did alter the memory level like Kariudo mentioned. And now Adobe crashes as it loads up the project (when filters are also loaded up), so it's probably doing worse then good.
I do have a lot of AVS files in a folder but I don't load all of them in at the same time I just pick the one's I need to do edit and thats it.

Vista abuses my hardware and software too much.

I'm keeping a dual boot Vista setup just in case XP starts to hate me.

My best guess is my hard drives, since they are still IDE, and my graphics card is a bit new so that might also fall into th issue but I doubt it.
I never had any problems with Premiere Pro 2.0 so it's probably in the case of software, my only reason for switching to CS3 is because of the Dip to White transition which I don't know how to recreate in 2.0.

Sorry for the double post. (Accidentally clicked post message, theres no edit button on these boards

)

I'm going to see if I can recreate the problem in XP and stress things up a bit to see if it can hold up and not crash.
I'll post in my findings to see what I can do about fixing my issue with Vista (Fresh install?), thanks for the help so far everyone.

Well looks even with Premiere Pro 2.0 it won't run without crashing.

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

DirectShowSource("D:\Escaflowne\escaflowne.1.ogm")
RemoveGrain()
tdecimate(mode=1)
killaudio()
setmemorymax(8)

I have no idea in what would cause the crash, I try to import my avs files one at a time to test and it loads them fine, but when I try to import all of them in it crashes.

I'm wondering if one of the filters has something to do with it, so that could also explain why it kept on crashing in CS3. I want to convert all files but it would be a big waste of time since what would be the point in using avisynth.

Have any ideas on what I could do?
