What i'm experiencing is random crashes while
- adding in a text
- trying to adjust the length of layers
- scrubbing the timeline
- or adding in native effects from teh effects panel.
I work both locally and with a cloud based app to work from Suite.
I've ruled out it not being a CPU, Motherboard issue.
It does NOT happen every single time it's very random.
When the crash/freeze happens i'm unable to re-launch Premiere Pro.
Currently i've trying using a Singel stick of Ram 48GB (previously I had 2 making it 96GB).
I've ran without and with the XMP profile enabled the rusults are teh same.
Video of what happens after a crash.
I cannot restart Premiere Pro. the only way to clear what's happening is to do a full restart of teh computer.
Video of what happens right after applying a preset from the effects panel
I've attached a few crash Logs.
