Premiere Pro 2025 Crashes and Takes too much Volumes

[Philipp-David]

Since the usage of premiere pro 2025, my mac crashes and freezes, since the volumes get to over 50GB, even though i am working with a very small project. It happens after a while and i dont know why. Never had this problem with the other Premoere Pro versions. I also cannot export. Very strange. I also have enough storage on my mac...

Same here, have the problem and almost cannot work on my premier pro. 😞

Months and months passing and no response from Adobe? I simply can't accept large editing jobs anymore because Premiere doesn't support it... 40-second videos from an iPhone in PROXY are becoming almost impossible to edit... Everything is crashed!

Premiere Pro Freezing on Import & Crashing on Export (v25.1, Windows 11 24H2)

Issue Summary:

I’ve been experiencing frequent freezes in Premiere Pro (v25.1) on Windows 11 (24H2). The program consistently freezes when importing footage—whether using Ctrl + I or the File > Import menu option. In the past week alone, it has frozen five times, requiring a force quit via Task Manager.

Additionally, Premiere crashed my system completely during an export, forcing a full machine restart.

System Specs:

• OS: Windows 11 (24H2)

• CPU: Intel i7-14700KF

• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti Super

• RAM: 64GB

• Storage: 1TB Kingston Renegade NVMe (dedicated cache drive)

• Premiere Pro Version: 25.1

Troubleshooting Attempts:

• Reset preferences

• Emptied cache

• Restarted Premiere Pro

• Ensured GPU drivers and OS are up to date

Additional Notes:

• The issue occurs randomly but frequently

• Premiere becomes completely unresponsive when importing, requiring a force quit

• No other programs exhibit similar crashes or freezes

• The crash during export forced my entire system to restart

Has anyone else encountered this?
