A collegue of mine works on pretty big projects (multiple terabytes of material) and PP 2024 crashes randomly during his workflow.
- It doesn't crash on a specific action
- PC resources are not being used to the extreme when this happens
Because there is so much video material, they are importing lots of different video formats. Containers i encountered are .mp4 .MXF .CRM .MOV .jpg .WAV. Videos with all these formats coem from different sources and have different resolution ranging from 1920x1080 to 4096x2160 or even 6k in some cases. Most videos are 25 frames per second, while fewer files have different fps (29.97).
All of the source footage have been re-rendered as proxies from PP options (ProRes Quicktime; frame size: half)
Only a few effects have been added, along with a few video transitions.
Sequence settings are 1920x1080 25fps.
Video renderer is set to Mercury playback engine GPU acceleration CUDA
RAM available for Premiere Pro: 116GB
Playback is smooth and everything works well, until it crashes randomly without giving any error popup.
I tried clearing cache, but it didn't help.
The guy had been given another PC to use temporarily, but the same issue persisted on that PC. This made me to believe the problem was in this project itself.
PC specs:
Model: DELL Precision 7920
CPU: Intel Xeon Silver 4210 2.2GHz - 20 cores 40 threads
GPU: NVIDIA RTX A4000
RAM: 128GB DDR4 2400MHz
Storage: Samsung 990 M.2 - 2TB (OS) along with multiple additional SSD and HDD drives (due to huge amount of video files)
OS: Windows 10 Pro for workstations (latest updates)
The temporary PC he was using as a replacement had even better hardware..
I tried to find the log files, but there were none in the "reports" folder.
If anyone could help me troubleshoot it would be great, i will provide you with more info or even screenshots if needed.
