P: Morph Cut causing Premiere Pro to crash every time. Help!

[Neco25032080tlzs]

I have been using the Morph Cut effect in my edits in Premiere Pro for years, with no real problems.

Since I installed Premiere Pro 2024 (24.1), every time I bring a morph cut to a sequence, the program crashes. I've tried multiple different ways, like creating a completely new sequence and pasting the shots there and then using morph cut, and nothing works.

I've decided to roll back to Premiere 2023 for now. I even tried using the latest Beta version, and it still crashes.

Does anyone have a solution?

Same issue adding Morph Cut to my timeline after Premiere Pro 24.

Also opening any project with a morph cut in it crashes instantly. Unfortunately, it's a transition I use a lot. 😫

I am on with support now. First, this is a known issue and they are working to have it fixed in the next release.

I was asked to download beta 24.3 and test, but had the same result: Instant crash with morph cut.

I was asked to rollback to 24.0, but declined because I cannot delete the current version and settings.

I was given a link to download 24.0 that will simultaneously install, and gave it a go. SUCCESS

(Mod note: Link from support is removed. Please do not share this link, it is for your use only).

I'm not sure how simultaneous the install was as 24.3 seems gone, but everything seems to be working.

I was asked not to update the app until the next release.

Hope that helps someone.

Cheers,

Charlie

See my above reply to myself for what worked for me. Hopefully it works for you too.

@creative arcade this is an old thread : locked.

Start a new one.

Its 2024 !! and Premiere pro is still crashing when morph cuts is used!! I am not even able to delete the morph transition, when I open the recovered file, it keeps crashing each time I open the prject file!

[R Neil Haugen]

If it's crashing on opening the project,  that project has corruption in it.

Create a new project. In MediaBrowser select the previous project, and Import the assets of that project. If would import the sequences one at a time, as a corrupt sequence might be the issue here.

Remember both project files and sequences are only metadata files ... data about data.

I have got the same issues: In the Beta version and in the normal version. What to do?

[rachelcenter]

I have the same issue. Zero crashes until I tried morph cut. I dont believe the project is corrupt. its morph cut that is causing the issue. I'm trying to put on a nested clip. the nest is 4k footage. but I have the proxy button on

[rachelcenter]

just curious are you using 4k footage with proxies like me?

[vishals2588]

Thanks!

[vishals2588]

No. Just HD.

[vishals2588]

Thanks!. I tried this, but it still kept crashing.

[vishals2588]

I installed the 2023 version of Premiere pro back again. and it doesn't crash anymore. 

[rachelcenter]

tried what?

[vishals2588]

Sorry, the first two replies were meant for R Neil Hayden. But for some weird reason, each time I reply to his message, it drops on yours. 
in any case I installed the 2023 premiere pro back again, and the morph cuts works without any crashes. 

[rachelcenter]

i tried beta just like you and got a crash too. so i installed premiere 2023 just like you said. testing it out now.

[rachelcenter]

yup, same thing here. morph cut doesnt crash my premiere 2023. clearly a bug in 2024 version

[R Neil Haugen]

I think I've seen something about that it another thread.

[Kartika Rawat]

Hi there!

Sorry about the crash, and thanks for sharing more information. Screen recording may cause performance issues because of the variable frame rate. You can try transcoding your screen-recorded footage by using HandBrake and see if that helps. Also, could you reset preferences and check if that brings any change? 

Let us know.

Thanks,

KR

Many users are having issues with VFR. If the file is variable frame rate, use Handbrake to convert to constant frame rate before importing into Premiere Pro:

Shutter Encoder may also be used to convert to Constant Frame Rate:

Had the same problem. Rolled back to 24.0.3 (in Creative Cloud, select the three dots under Premiere in Apps, other versions, install 24.0.3) and problem gone. 24.1 is bugged.
