Please help: "unable to create image buffer" error

While editing, I keep getting an error saying "unable to create image buffer," shortly followed by the program freezing or crashing (or my display driver crashing).

I'm editing .mov files imported via the media browser shot on a Canon t5. I faced the same problem when editing MXF files from a Canon XF100 a few weeks ago.

I've been trying to solve this problem for weeks to no avail. The only workaround I have is to edit quickly in sessions and frequently save before the program freezes again. Sometimes I think it's a pc problem and that I should install more RAM, but this wasn't an issue several months ago.

    I tried to remove all the plug-ins and MORGT files on my premiere then restarted it. This works fine with me. I just re-installed the few ones that I need.

    Still having this issue, would be nice if Adobe could actually do something about it. I can barely get any work done. I'm so close to cancelling CC.

    We shouldn't have to roll back graphics drivers that other programs rely on, constantly re-install, re-install windows, or run a special cleaner every time Adobe messes up. This is getting ridiculous. Adobe seems to know these problems but doesn't integrate fixes into the actual installation or CC app.

      Same here! After working on a project for a while, I keep getting this error. This could be a RAM-related issue. If I don't close PP immediatley after getting this error message, my computer crashes and when booting up again, it says "Overclocking has failed". I have no issues with my computer whatsoever, only in PP.

        I'm on Win 10 64, on a Ryzen 7 1800x with 16GB DDR 4 3200 with a Radeon Pro WX 5100 (8GB), OS on M.2 970 EVO + footage on 830 EVO (not used for other tasks). It's been weeks and can't figure this out. I get this same error. Upset is the least I can say.
