Premiere Pro crashing after updating to 25.0 and have no way to export my project
Hi,
It sounds like several others are experiencing this but I wanted to share my situation in hopes of it helping others and/or the developers.
After updating from the latest 24.x version of premiere to 25.0, my new project file crashes constantly (during project startup, in the middle of editing, or, most importantly now, when I try to export the project) and sometimes the project file is recoverable, sometimes it's not. I have made countless "save as" files to ensure I don't lose all my work.
Version number: 25.0
OS: Windows 10 Pro
About: 12th gen Intel(R) i7 3.60GHz, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060, the project file and 95% of the media is on an internal m.2 SSD 2TB although it is almost out of storage, so a few clips are on USB 3.0 external hard drives.
Footage: Canon RAW (.CRM) and Canon h.265 MP4, and ProRes uncompressed from DaVinci Resolve (brought back to Premiere after color grading)
Sequence: five minutes, simple cuts with no effects (although some warp stabilizer) and some simple titles (created from properties panel). There is one error I get regarding a sound effect on the timeline, reading "File importer detected an inconsistency in the file structure of *file name*. Reading and writing this file's XMP has been disabled."
Steps to reproduce: Open Premiere Pro with admin approval (initially turned off, but began doing this as a hopeful workaround which hasn't proven to make a difference), select the project file I'd like to open, and Premiere will sometimes crash once it has loaded the project. If it didn't crash, then it may crash a few minutes later while editing (simple cuts, playing back footage, etc). If I've made it this far without it crashing, then when I go to the export page and select my settings (h.264, MP4, VBR 2 pass, both max render quality and depth enabled, output location to my desktop (separate SSD from project file and media), and I click export, Premiere Pro crashes immediately every time. It pops up with an error menu (no code). If I send the file to After Effects (V25.0.1), After Effects then crashes and provides me with the same error menu.
Thanks all.
