This is a weird one. Over the years, I have noticed that random crashes of Premiere Pro seem to correspond to updates in Creative Cloud.
I obviously can't recreate this, but it has happened enough that I an 78% positive there is some connection. I crashed today while exporting in Media Encoder; maybe it's not weird, but PP was in the background. The "Check for issues box" popped up, and I took the bait and clicked on it and suggested I update to the newest version... light bulb goes off because, for the first time, it wasn't recommending the version I already had installed, plus I only updated to the 24.5 a few days ago. I finish my export, post it, send an email to my client explaining why I didn't make all the changes they requested, then head over here and notice that the "Welcome to Premiere Pro 24.6!" post had been made just a few minutes prior.
Coincidence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm on an iMac Pro
3 GHz 10-Core Intel Xeon W
Radeon Pro Vega 64 16 GB
128 GB 2666 MHz DDR4
Sonoma 14.5
Creative Cloud is set to run in the background and up to date
Why is this valuable to me? I don't like crashing
