Premiere Pro CC 2022 crashes on Fast Forward

Copied

When I hit the "L" key to fast-forward while playing on the timeline, and hit about 4x speed, the audio stops scrubbing (I think this is normal), followed by Premiere Pro locking up. There's no way to halt the playback at this point, and eventually Premiere Pro locks the entire system - even the mouse cursor won't move. If I shutdown/restart fast enough (after Premiere locks, but before the entire system locks), I can get a reboot to happen. Otherwise it's the reset switch.

 

It is very similar to the problem described here, except I'm running Premiere Pro 2022 on Windows 10, and the video format is XAVC S HD:

If I edit AVCHD footage, the problem doesn't seem to occur. I've tried turning off hardware accelerated encoding/decoding in the Media preferences, with no effect on this. I'm guessing it's a Premiere bug - suggestions?

You need to post a link here so people can check out your post and upvote it. The more votes the more Adobe is likely to look into it. However, if very few are experiencing this, then I wouldn't agree with Joost's post - and that could get you to stop looking for problems perhaps on your end.

If there's any suggestions on where to look my end, I'm happy to try further things. I might re-install the previous CC version. I've edited XAVC S HD before, and not had this issue, but not for a long time. Possibly not even on this desktop.

Here's a file I just downloaded in mxf. And I have a bunch of footage from my AX-53, avc UHD, they both play well and have no problem scanning (with multiple "L" or "J"s). Here's the media info on the mxf.

 

You can use the free MediaInfo program to get info on your clips. Get the program from the link below and using the 'Tree' view post a screenshot of your clip info: https://mediaarea.net/en/MediaInfo/Download

It looks pretty basic. That's similar to the files I edit most of the time. What have you tried to fix it?

 

Win or Mac? Hardware, etc.

 

Did you try deleting the cache?

• Start PP from it's normal desktop icon (IE: don't open from a project file link).
Close the Open/Home screen (and you will be in PP without a project open).
• Go into Edit/Preferences/Media Cache (Mac users adjust menu name)
• Then Press: Remove Media Cache Files: and Delete...
• Select: Delete all media cache files from the system and OK
Close PP - It will create any needed cache files on the fly as you edit.

Thanks - I've cleared the cache as instructed, rebooted, created a new project, imported one clip only, dragged it to a timeline, fast forward - crash.

 

I've installed Premiere Pro 2021 using the Creative Cloud installer, followed the exact same process to create a new project, imported the identical clip, fast forward - runs fine.

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.70 GHz (Quicksync enabled)

I've updated to 472.47, studio drivers (thanks for that, I was oblivious to there being two versions).

 

Exact same behaviour as previously, PP2021 still working, PP2022 still locking up / crashing.

 

Both versions took a little longer to initialise after the driver update (and PP2022 took much longer than PP2021), I'm assuming they detected the driver change, and had to check a few things themselves internally. PP2022 seemed like almost a minute until it would play footage. I subsequently rebooted and tried again to be sure, it fired up more normally on the subsequent attempt, still crashed.

I'm not sure what else to check. If you want to upload a problem clip, I can download and give it a try. Put it on Dropbox or GoogleDrive, etc.

Thanks, I've had a read through that thread, it does appear to be very similar / the same issue.

 

I've run some tests this morning, I was looking at uploading a clip to be looked at. I didn't want to upload anything too short, which would scrub through to the end, before locking up.

 

I tested clips up to 12GB, none of them locked up. When you start scrubbing the 12GB clip, the video is paused for 5 to 10 secs before it actually starts scrubbing, but it doesn't lock.

 

The next clip I have is 35GB. This clip locks reliably every time. So the issue now also appears to be related to file size. The 12GB clip is 32 minutes, the 35GB clip is 92 minutes. I can upload the 35GB clip if it assists to be looked at, but it will take some time, and I didn't want to just inflict a file of that size on anyone!

You could try Shutter Encoder, free and real easy to use and you can 'cut' the files down to size without re-encoding. So, no loss of quality. It might be the way to go: https://www.shutterencoder.com/en/

 

You can make a donation to the developer if it works real well. 🙂

I'm assuming the suggestion is to split the source files up - PP2022 is still a little sluggish even when not crashing, and this would add a lot of overhead to the editing process. I shoot mainly live events, some go for many hours, with no logical cut points. An event we're shooting in about 4 weeks had almost 2TB of raw footage last year, and that was AVCHD - XAVC S would double that.

 

Easier is likely going to be sticking with PP2021 until PP2022 is fixed, or just not shooting XAVC S. This project was a bit of an experiment, as they're playing it on a cinema screen, in case there was a difference.

 

Thanks for the pointer to the tool though, I'd not been aware of it, and it may still prove useful elsewhere. I own a bunch of the TMPGEnc tools, which I use for similar tasks, I hadn't been aware of this one at all.

Raising the I/O buffer size in Audio Hardware seems to have provided the fix for me.

Hi,

 

I am having this same issue on the latest Premiere version. I saw this reply is from almost a year ago.

 

What is the reasoning for this happening now? 

 

I use the 2022 MacStudio, have cleared my cache, made sure I had ample memory and storage space, plenty of allocated Ram, using ProRes MOV files, and still whenever I try to fast forward it lags to the point of crashing. Please help! I have deadlines that I have not been able to meet because of this issue. 

 

- A soon to be unemployed editor.

When this happened in late 2021, it was 100% a Premiere bug, from their major update at that time. Eventually they fixed that. The bug isn't there on the current Windows version, I haven't seen it on Mac, but don't use it frequently.

 

My only suggestion would be to set up proxies for your footage, and see if it still happens. That was a temporary work around on Windows last time. Hopefully someone else on Mac can confirm if this is a Premiere bug, or an issue with your setup.
