Question

Type tool crashes premiere CC 23.1

Hi all,

I've been trying to find the root of a problem i'm having with the type tool where almost every time I use it premiere instantly crashes, doesn't even give a warning, just dies. I've seen people suggest using software acceleration but it changes how the edit renders and even gets some of the text wrong when I switch back to GPU acceleration. Trying to find and alternate solution.

It's sometimes better when I have nothing else open but I have a pretty decent PC and it should be able to run it just fine, but it still crashes and i'm just not sure what the problem is. It crashes when I go to type something and sometimes when i'm playing back the section with the text in it.

SPECS:

i9 9900k

RTX 3070ti strix

32gb ram

running off samsung ssd

Version 23.1

Aden and others-

You may be barking up the wrong tree!

 

About a year ago Adobe announced it would no longer support POSTSCRIPT TYPE 1 fonts in their apps. They will accept only OPENTYPE format fonts. Those of us with large font libraries are SOL-- Adobe does not make a type converter tool, which would be sensible!

 

There may be several converters out there by now, but the one I slapped down 100 bucks for was from Font Lab, makers of the original Fontographer Type Design app. which I had the pleasure to use on a few occasions. a couple decades ago. 

 

They also make TRANSTYPE, the T1 to OPT font convertor. I'm just starting on it.

They have good documentation and a video.

Best as always,
Loren

    Loren,

     

    Thanks for that information.

     

    The announcement suggests that a "missing font" warning may occur. Does it? Do we know what the implementation in Premiere Pro looks like?

     

    Here's the Adobe page I'm looking at:

    I have never gotten a missing font warning when using it. It usually plays out that I will begin to type something, then the app will freeze, and then shut down. However, I can sometimes get away with a few text boxes before it happens. 

    Hope this helps.

    Does it happen on all fonts?

    It may be a corrupted font.

    Might be all the fonts i've tried tho, as majority are downloaded, is there a way on windows I can check if they're ok?

    wondering if it could be a corrupt font.  On the mac, there's something called fontbook which will check for problematic fonts...  Guessing there must be something similar for windows...
