Question

Premiere Pro CC 2018 Crashes When Expanding or Shrinking Video Track in Timeline

This issue has plagued me in the last two weeks.

I have several projects using the specs below. They have multiple video/audio tracks/layers that are synched. I've figured out that when I grab the beginning or end of a track and drag it forwards or backwards that PPcc will crash -- Almost every time. And it doesn't seem to matter which track I grab (but I'm not entirely positive about this, will continue to check.) Is this a known problem? Cause? I can't find any info on it in the forums. Please help if anyone knows.

Thank you in advance.

Shawn

I am having the same problem here is what the Problem Details say:

Crashed Thread:        46  Dispatch queue: opencl_runtime

...

46  libsystem_pthread.dylib       0x00007fff6497656d _pthread_start + 377

So it seems there is something going wrong with OpenCL so I changed the renderer to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only and that has so far worked.

CalOESProducer,

Can you anyone on this thread give us a crash log? We'd like to investigate further.

Thanks!
Kevin

I will try to do that soon. I've been slammed with the California wildfires and will get the crash data to you asap.

Thank you for staying on top of this.

Trimming or moving clips in the timeline seems to cause crashes. Try disabling CUDA and OpenCl renderes and see if that helps. Try closing the Metadata panel as well.

Happened to me as well.

Working on a new project created in CC 2018. Had several clips in timeline. When trying to expand an audio clip towards the beginning (the left end of the clip), premiere crashed. But extending the very end of the clip worked fine. Moving the clip around also worked fine. But once I extended any audio clip in the start the program crashed.

System:

iMac late 2013

3,5ghz Intel i7

16GB RAM

GTX 780M 4GB

Using OSX 10.13.1 High Sierra

I have not seen this issue, Shawn. Are these brand new projects or projects you brought forward from CC 2017? Let me know.

Thanks,
Kevin

These are new projects, Kevin. That being said, I started the project on an iMac, but continued working on them on a Mac Book Pro which is more powerful. however, I'm using the same external drive (which contains the raw files and project files) for both computers. Also, I tried dragging the end of the track very slowly, instead of quickly, and it still crashed.

Thanks for your reply Kevin. I hope we can fix this issue, one way or another.

Best,

Shawn
