I've been wanting Premiere for like.. forever. Now that I finally have it, every time I try to import a certain amount of videos, it freazes and the window saying that an error occured and the program need to close appears.
Why does this always happen to me?

If someone knows how to fix it, please let me know.
BTW I use Premiere 6.0

Well, Premiere has some certain moods.
Did you rip the footage from DVDs?
If not, you're probably using downloaded footage, which is probably encoded with DivX. Premiere hates DIvX. So there's really nothing you can do about that except rip the DVDs, or find some more downloaded footage that hasn't been compressed [with DivX].

Try importing the videos one at a time. Premiere has a thing with certain files. Once you find the file Premiere doesn't like, import everything but that file and work around it...

I had the exact same problem and it can be fixed easily enough.(at least on my comuter anyway)

1.Open Premiere
2.Up there where it says File,Edit,Project,Clip,Timeline,Window,Help click "Window"
3.click window options and then Project window options
4.from the dropbox select "list view"

this fixed the problem for me i hope it works for you too.

It works!!!

You know you just made me the happiest girl in the world, I've been fighting with it for days...
Another question, I don't have a DVD player on my PC so I can't do any ripping. I have to use fansubs and I want to put it in widescreen to hide the subtitles.... How?

Go to the guides section on the site... there is a guide on getting rid of subtitles.
