I am editing a rather complicated project and have been having issues with Premiere crashing constantly.
I am running Premiere 25.00, on a 2023 MacBook M3 Pro, 36GB RAM, Sonoma 14.7. I am working with XAVC 4k h.264 files proxied to DNxHR LB. My full-res media is offline.
It is a cooking show with multiple contestants and judges, with 9 tracks of audio (9600hz 24-bit mono) and 3 camera angles—I’ve created Multicam sequences for each scene and have transcribed all of my interviews as well. Other than that, I don’t have any other assets in my project, yet.
My project crashes with more and more frequency. I will try to watch through my multicam clip and make selects--I will typically use the text panel to highlight soundbites and insert them into my sequence, a workflow I have been using every since Premiere's text features released. Every few minutes, Premiere will crash after inserting a bite. I have reset my preferences, cleared my media cache, and ran the Adobe diagnostics tool, which came back with no issues. When I downgraded to a previous version of Premiere, it wouldn’t open my newer project. I am wondering if I should re-proxy to a different codec, but I am working with 6TB of footage and it took a week to proxy the first time, so I wanted to check here first for any insight before trying that avenue.
Additionally, I was having a separate issue earlier where every multi-cam sequence I created via timecode would playback extremely choppy, but I seemingly resolved that by deleting unused audio/video tracks in the multicam sequences and changing the audio samplerate of each multicam sequence to 96khz, although there are still several clips that won't play back very well...
For what it's worth, I edited a first season of this project last year, with the same filetypes and workflow, and had no issues whatsoever.
