P: Premiere Pro v.25.4 'eats' memory

That should be enough, don't you think? 😉

Wow, just ... wow. That would be maddening. In the extreme!

How much free space do you have on the disc you're exporting to, just in curiosity?

Guys, the problem is that Adobe Premiere or Encoder do not experience any issues with the rendering process itself—as a software operation. In other words, nothing unusual happens inside Premiere or Encoder. That’s why it’s impossible to record any Premiere logs—they simply don’t crash on their own. So, there are no crash logs or dumps in the Adobe log folder. The rendering process just ends up filling the RAM and swap disk, and once the disk is full, the system simply goes into a black screen.

Memory Management Issue in Premiere and Encoder

Dear Adobe,

The memory management in the current versions of Premiere and the Encoder is not functioning correctly. Memory limits are not being enforced, and memory is not being cleared during the processing of large projects. As a result, memory usage continuously grows, consuming all disk space and causing black screens and system crashes.

This issue needs to be addressed and fixed ASAP.

Best regards,
RR

Hi @STUDIO29K 
Are you getting an Adobe crash report before your system freezes up? Have you tried cutting a subclip of one of the Camera files into a new sequence and then trying rendering? What is the Total Running Time of the sequence you are rendering?
The project file will help us better understand what you are facing and speed up the process of elimination. It is understandable if you do not wish to share the project or files; we can try other ways to help resolve the problem.

the files are big, 20GB each...it's a concert...everything was rendered normally on the timeline until version 25.4...when I installed everything new, including the OS and drivers and updates and v25.4 Pp...the same project when rendering in version 25.4 increases the memory to 64GB and then everything freezes and has to be hard reset...it's been a long time since I had any problems with Pp in version 25.3 and below, everything works normally (rendering timelines)...I don't know how to send you such large files, and I don't think there's any point in sending you when everything worked fine until now in v25.3 and below...
  of course, there are a lot of effects, but it all worked normally until version 25.4

 thank's....

Hi @STUDIO29K 

What are the source files in the sequence that you are rendering? Could you file share the project and one of the files that are in the sequence you are rendering?
