Question

Error Msg -A Low-level exception occurred in: Adobe Player

I have CS6 installed, all the latest patches, etc. It's been working fine for months.In the last week Pr is unable to playback all of my footage (Native 5D mark III h.246 and Canon xf305 footage). Whether it is on the timeline or in the source panel.

The Error message i get it this:  A Low-level exception occurred in: Adobe Player (player).

  • Using Adobe CS 6.0.3
  • Windows 64 Bit 8 GBs RAM
  • Happens in new projects and old.
  • New timelines also affected, it appears.
  • Was not happening as recently as two days ago.
  • No changes made to the computer.
  • Only changes is that I have combined timeines (Imported) from one project to another.
  • Video shows yellow or Green.
  • I have rerendered the footage to show all green on timeline.
  • Only way around it is to reboot the computer, it comes back after a while. The problematic timelines work fine for a while, then this starts happening.

I deleted the media cache database folder after exiting Pr.

Didn't seem to change anything. I just got the error again. Things seem to be curiously messed up. I tried to render a sequence out to MXF. The headless crashed each time, (not totally unusual, but it couldn't complete even once). I also got an error message when I bypassed the Media Encoder and just went strait to rendering it out within Pro. It managed to continue to render it to MXF but when I got done and imported it into Pro, it didn't play the clip when I clicked on it.

The interesting thing to me is that to totally clear Adobe from RAM, I have to go into Task Manager and kill the process after exiting the program (in lieu of rebooting). So it's not closing properly, it appears. Once I kill the process and reopen the app, I can then play the sequence, for a while. It's very curious. Task manager also shows lots of RAM open, no memory leaks at work, nothing unusual. It appears, to be just choking on footage, sort of like it can't quite process the audio (like when you bring in new footage and it has to process that audio). What's happening is like it sees the audio at first when I bring it in at startup of the app, then loses it. If I exit without killing the Premiere process (or shutting down the machine), then it still exhibets the behavior on startup again.

So this project is large, for me. It is showing as 34 MBs. I have a wide variety of clips at play here, but only MXF Canon from the xf305 and MOV from the Canon 5D. The MXF are the default sequence(s) unless I shot nothing but MOV.

I have tried rendering the visualization, all green lines on top but that doesn't seem to fully help. It does play the footage for a while.

There are no special effects added, yet.

Is it worth re-installing Premiere? This has cost me the better part of a day screwing around with this.

Let me detail this again:

Premiere is installed on C There hundreds of GBs of storage avaialble there.

  • All project files are on F which is a RAID 1 array. It appears to be functioning normally. 800 GBs free space on 2TBs.
  • All Renders are taking out to an external drive like I always do. Lot s of space available there too.
  • Anyone have an idea how to fix this?

I just had this problem.  I deleted my render files, and re-rendered, problem solved.  Seems some render files must have corrupted.

I had a timeline with 4 synced clips. Put this into another timeline and made a multi-cam. All videos were different formats. No effects applied to anything. When I switched to cam 4 on the multitrack I would get this error... I deleted that clip and my multi-cam is working fine now.

The info of that one clip was:

Shot on: GoPro

Kind: Quicktime Movie

Dimensions: 1280x720

Codecs: H.264 AAC Timecode

Color Profile: HD (1-1-1)

Hope this info helps anyone out.

Having the same problem... seems like adobe lumetri is very buggy... ive had the GPUVideoFilter error as well... also the GPU rendering issues. This makes editing and rendering take 5x as long for me.

I figured it out. It only happens to clips that are color corrected in "color" tab. I deleted all the corrections and used three way color correction from the effects tab - Video Effects instead and it worked fine.

I tried restarting, clearing up cashe and reinstalling - nothing worked.

Why is your post filled with that?  Makes it difficult to read.

Sorry Jim, I cut and pasted it in. I'll try taking it back out to a text file. It looks ok to my display.
