    You seem to be only one with this "issue" to date.

    What would they fix?


    I try update Adobe Premiere Pro CC to 7.1 again.

    I tried many ways, and finally I found a solution.

    Download PR CC 7.0.1 update file and extract "ImporterFastMPEG.prm". Copy and replace to PR CC Plug-in folder.

    This way solve my problom.

    Using privous "ImporterFastMPEG.prm" to fixed it.

    I did notice that it did work even worse when nvidia did update the graphic card driver for my GeForce card. So i did install older version of the graphic driver and for me it looks like it solve some problems. Maybe its a driver related issue..?

    Has Adobe release a legitimate fix to this issue. I've been having this issue since August. I constantly revisit this forum in hopes of a real solution. I've tried the methods people have post to no avail. It's a major inconvenience for me especially when I have a client sitting right next to me who wants to oversee a bit of the edit.

    Now i have uninstall the latest version of cc 2014. And then installed previously version from the creative cloud app. Did install the earliest release i could find. Works a little better...but slow compare to CS6

    Also got this problem! Still no fix!? I´m not sure but i think my problem did start when i installed Premier Pro 6 (to get encore)

    So could this be something Encore related?

    I think my problem is when I upgraded to Yosemite. I'm trying the new cc8 30 days trial free, but still not having any luck. It keeps freezing now???? I can't even see my files?

    I can't even play a video or a audio file without CS8 crashing now - USELESS!!!

    I've had this for a while and not found a solution. Then I found this post, which worked for me.

    TL;DR:

    Set the entire Adobe preferences folder and its contents to be read/write, not just read-only.

    • Mac OS: [drive]/Users/[user_name]/Library/Preferences/Adobe/
    • Windows: [drive]\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\

    And hey presto (for me), instant Premiere startup and instantly available media. I haven't noticed any major problems with AE.

    Hello!

    I had a similar problem with my Premiere. For some reason importing the desired files either failed completely or they ended up showing "media pending" when previewed or added to timeline. Meanwhile some other video files worked just fine.

    I tried all the solutions offered on this thread but to no avail. Then after some googling I found a working solution for me:

    Video in youtube made by ArcologyDesigns, all credit to him:

    Premiere Pro: AVI or MP4 Import Issues Fix - YouTube

    Here is how it works:

    1) Install Windows Movie maker (or something else) if you don't have it

    2) Open troubling video file in movie maker

    3) Save the video file as movie (without editing) to a new mp4 -file in movie maker

    4) Import the new file to Adobe Premiere, it should work

    Note: my original files were mp4 and the solution worked just fine. Windows movie maker compresses the videos badly and thus the new files take more space, hopefully that won't be a problem. Microsoft Expression Encoder should be fine for the job as well.

    I doubt this will work for people who have the program crashing after some usage, but for people who initially fail to correctly import the video files. I hope someone else finds this useful. I spent hours fixing the problem.

    I have the same problem, and it's only for some clips, nevermind that other clips from the same wmv file work fine.  Redoing the clips doesn't help even to different formats.  Really really annoying.

    Hi Jessika123asd,

    Here's what has worked for others recently:

    • Right click the clip in question and deselect "Enable", then reselect "Enable."
    • Break up smaller groups of clips into individual folders, reimport and relink.
    • Trash preferences


    Thanks,

    Kevin

    The Enable trick didn't work

    Nor did moving a clip to it's own folder

    Trash preferences works sometimes.

    This is showing up for more and more of the clips.

    Yeah this has happened to me too. Only in the last day or two.

    Media pending on every clip and in the Project Window.

    When I quit to restart the program, PP just crashes on start up. I don't even get a fancy PP loading screen. Nothing happens.

    What gives?

    There are a few things you can do:

    Restart computer, the open Premiere while holding down shift+alt until welcome screen

    Trash the media cache database

    Rename folder media is in and relink.

    I am also having the same problem and as I can see the complaints started back in May 2013, so that is over a year and a half annoying people all over the planet.

    I find no solution and I have no idea what to do about it. Why do they come up with such a thing without giving any indication as to what the problem is and its solution. They tell you you have a problem in 20 languages but they dont tell you what it is.
