Premier using alot of VRAM and crashes if it doesn't have enough by "unable to create Image Buffer"

Hello, It sounds like you've encountered persistent issues with Adobe Premiere Pro related to image buffer errors and frame substitution errors, which can be quite frustrating. Given the extensive troubleshooting steps you've already taken, here are additional methods to try, including steps specifically addressing MOGRT files:

Method 1: Clean GPU Driver Reinstallation

Use DDU to Remove GPU Drivers:

• Download Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) from a reputable source.
• Boot your computer into Safe Mode.
• Run DDU to completely uninstall your GPU drivers, ensuring all remnants are removed.
• Restart your computer normally.

Reinstall GPU Drivers:

• Visit the official website of your GPU manufacturer (NVIDIA or AMD).
• Download and install the latest compatible driver for your GPU model.
• Restart your computer after installing the new drivers.

Reset Adobe Premiere Pro Preferences:

• Hold down the Shift key while launching Adobe Premiere Pro.
• A dialog box will appear asking if you want to reset the preferences. Click Yes.

Test Adobe Premiere Pro:

• Open Adobe Premiere Pro and check if the issues persist.

Method 2: Remove Plugins, Cache, and Problematic MOGRT Files

Remove Plugins:

• Navigate to the directory where Adobe Premiere Pro is installed.
• Look for the Plug-ins folder and temporarily move all plugins to a backup location outside the Premiere Pro directory.
• Restart Adobe Premiere Pro and check if the issue persists. If it resolves, gradually reintroduce plugins one by one to identify the problematic one.

Clear Media Cache:

• Open Adobe Premiere Pro.
• Go to Edit > Preferences > Media (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > Media (Mac).
• Click on Clean under the Media Cache Database section.
• Confirm and allow Premiere Pro to clear the media cache.

Remove Problematic MOGRT Files:

• Identify and remove MOGRT files used in your Adobe Premiere Pro projects, especially those causing issues.
• Temporarily replace them with alternative templates or remove them entirely from your project.
• Check if the issues persist without the problematic MOGRT files.

Additional Tips:

• Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements for running Adobe Premiere Pro, including GPU specifications.
• Monitor system resources (CPU, RAM, GPU) while using Premiere Pro to identify any unusual spikes or constraints.
• Keep your operating system and Adobe software updated to the latest versions available.
• If possible, test Adobe Premiere Pro on another system to determine if the issue is hardware or software related.
• Consult Adobe Support for further assistance if issues persist despite troubleshooting steps.
