Effects Workstation Crash/Not Responding

[LazaroNegrin]

Whenever I start Premiere and go to the effects workstation and do anything within the timeline, the program starts not responding. Is there any possible fix for this? I really don't know what else to do, I opened up my task manager and saw that at most, Premiere was taking up basically 1/3 of my CPU, GPU, and RAM, so that's out of the window. I've tried deleting and reinstalling, I've tried deleting workstation info, thinking it was corrupt or something, and nothing has worked, what should I do?

I'd start working my way down this list:

Unofficial Premiere Pro Troubleshooting Guide

I went through all of those steps without even knowing that that guide existed.

If you truly went through ALL those steps and it's still borked, then it is beyond redemption. The only solution is to throw your computer off a bridge.

Or, like, maybe try a different version of Premiere.

Or switch to Avid...

Or davinci resolve...

(no joke. You can export to XML and still retain most of the work you've done. Probably.)

You've completed everything through Step 4?  Didn't skip any?

If so, it's time for Step 5.
