3 Bugs with Premiere Pro CC 2017 dynamic linking to audition/memory leak, dragging, replacing font

Kevin-Monahan

Thank you for all your suggestions.   I'm very frustrated because episode 1 of my docuseries is very close to picture lock. I am just putting some finishing touches on it.  I did what you said I created a new project and imported the project. 

I opened my file and did a few edits, saving after each one because it is so unstable I don't want to lose my work. 3rd edit I did it locked up. I get about 10 minutes of work and its over. But guess what? this time it actually gave me an error. It has something to do with dragging the clip.

PS you need to make it so this forum accepts .tiff files because every screen grab I do I have to open in photoshop and convert to jpg. It's a real pain.

Dynamic Link: As I've said before I've trouble shooted this like crazy before I complained.  I've already done the uninstall premiere pro and audition a long time ago. I just did an update on my MAC and I'll let you know if that helps at all but I've already done an entire list of stuff.

Thanks for the suggestion on Dragging - I switched ports on my monitors and I'm not sure if it helps yet because Premiere or other adobe products keep locking up my computer. If it still happens later on I'll let you know.

I'm using the Adobe fonts from the creative cloud app, where I thought they were added to your library but apparently, they are only connected online... what?

Stability - all day long I'm dealing with this (below) all FREAKING day long. Yes it is a large file, It's my docu series - yes I've been using the same file for a long time but converted/upgraded with new versions, but there are over 19 hours of footage that I need to reference including stock footage. (which I have the program and assets and cache spread out on different hard drives) Sometimes all I do is drag a clip audio or video longer,  and it locks up, perpetual spinning wheel.  I have to save every few minutes so I don't lose everything. I like premiere and have a lot invested in premiere but this is unbearable.  THIS ALL STARTED a month or 2 ago. But the updates aren't usually backward compatible so I don't want to revert or I'll lose a bunch of work.

Hi Hdaistudentpdx,

Sorry for your continuing issues. Let take each one as a separate issue.

1. Dynamic Link: See if this post might solve your issue: Re: Premiere 2017 and Adobe Audition dynamic link not working
   1. Unintall Premiere Pro and Audition
   2. Reinstall the applications, Premiere Pro first.
2. Dragging: Try making sure that the monitor playing back the Program Monitor and Timeline are being fed by the main port serviced by the GPU. The secondary monitor should be used only for the bin and the Project panel. I heard this was a current issue, and it sounds a little odd, but as one who has built and did troubleshooting for NLE performance over decades, this used to be one of the first things we checked. 
3. Fonts: Hmm, that sounds odd. Are you using LiveFonts? I was able to reconnect to my fonts once logging back in. Let me see if I can reproduce that issue.
4. Stability: What do you mean "unstable." Do you mean that you're crashing? It sounds like the media in your timeline is not very optimized or your project contains too many media objects. Could that be the case? I rarely crash any more on average sized projects.

Let us know what you find after trying these troubleshooting steps.

Thanks!
Kevin

There is another problem too, Premiere Pro is so unstable that I have to save every few minutes so I don't lose my work. It's annoying because since it is such a large file, I'm working in it takes like 1 to 2 minutes each time and really throws off my flow.
