Learn about the most common causes for crashes and slow downs in Premiere Pro, and see the ways to stop it from doing so.
One of the most frequent remedies to crashes that Adobe recommends is resetting your Premiere Pro preferences. (Sometimes referred to as 'trashing' your preferences.) This will reset your preferences back to the factory defaults. Microsoft visual basic 5.0 6.0 decompiler. To do this, just hold Alt when you click to launch Premiere Pro. To open the Preferences dialog box, choose Edit Preferences (Windows) or Premiere Pro Preferences (Mac OS), and select the category of preferences you want to change. To restore default preference settings, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while the application is starting.
In this article, we're going to explore crashes and slow downs with Premiere Pro. We'll look at what causes some of the most common crashes and what you can do to try and solve them. (Or work around them!)
Why Does Premiere Pro Crash?
Short answer: Software bugs. Longer answer: Still most likely bugs, but some other causes could be outdated OS drivers, outdated GPU drivers, or that your computer no longer meets the system requirements for the latest Premiere Pro build.
To be fair to Adobe, we also need to be realistic when it comes to editing expectations. If you're trying to edit a feature-length project in 4K on a sub-par laptop, you're setting yourself up for problems. Also, always expect the newest version of Premiere Pro to have bugs. Always. This isn't a knock on Adobe, it's difficult for any company to prevent crashes and bugs on software with the depth Premiere Pro has.
Premiere Pro Runs Slow
In some cases, Premiere Pro may not be crashing, it's just running unbearably slow. This can be terribly annoying. Check out the article Things to Check When Adobe Premiere Pro Is Lagging to discover the most common reasons for slow downs. You may be able to reduce a majority of your crashes just by optimizing your workflow and user settings.
How to Stop Premiere Pro from Crashing
I've combed the Adobe Premiere Pro Community Forums and put together a list of solutions from user-reported crashes. Some of these solutions are just workarounds. But, you can at least keep them in mind and try to avoid these causes if you're encountering frequent crashes. The most common crash remedies for users will be at the top of this list!
Reset Preferences
One of the most frequent remedies to crashes that Adobe recommends is resetting your Premiere Pro preferences. (Sometimes referred to as 'trashing' your preferences.) This will reset your preferences back to the factory defaults. To do this, just hold Alt when you click to launch Premiere Pro. (Hold Option for Mac.) This will open a popup asking if you want to reset your preferences.
Reset Workspace to Saved Layout
If you don't want to factory reset all of your preferences, you can simply try resetting your current workspace. (I recommend using one of the default Premiere Pro layouts.) Navigate to Window>Workspaces>Reset to Saved Layout.
Disable Imported Workspaces
It's also recommended to disable workspaces imported from previous projects. (Again, because the custom workspace may be causing the bug.) Navigate to Window>Workspaces>Import Workspace from Project.Make sure it's unchecked.
Don't Open Old Projects, Import Them
Directly opening older projects from previous Premiere Pro builds can sometimes be the problem. An easy work around for this is to simply create a brand new project, then import your older project into the new one. To do this, navigate to File>Import.
Using Captions with Specific Fonts
Oddly enough, some fonts don't play well with the Captions options in Premiere Pro. If you're using captions in your project and experiencing crashes, change your caption font and see if that helps. I've had similar experiences with specific fonts causing bugs in After Effects.
GPU Acceleration
Another setting to try is switching off GPU Acceleration. Navigate to File>Project Settings>General. Then, you'll see the Renderer options. Set it to the option that says Software Only.
Clear the Media Cache
Clearing the Media Cache is another good option, as these files can sometimes get corrupted. Navigate to Edit>Preferences>Media Cache. Then, you'll see the setting Remove Media Cache Files where you can delete them. Older versions of Premiere Pro don't have this button, so just navigate to the folder you have set for the Media Cache and manually delete the files. (You'll be able to see the location of this folder in the Media Cache preferences.)
Effects and Third Party Plugins
Some effects in Premiere Pro can cause crashes. Many users report having crashes using Warp Stabilizer. If you are, you can try rendering your clip with Warp Stabilizer in After Effects, then importing it back into Premiere Pro. Alternatively, you can also Dynamic Link your clip to After Effects. Simply right-click on the clip and select Replace with After Effects Composition.
I've encountered similar issues with some third-party plugins in Premiere Pro. In those cases, you can try rendering specific clips individually or just avoid using the plugins causing problems.
Drag and Drop Media
Other users have reported crashes when they try to import media from the File menu. If this happens, there are two things you can try. First, try to import fewer clips at a time. This can be tedious, but it's a workaround. Secondly, try dragging-and-dropping your media into Premiere Pro instead of importing it. I also recommend doing this a few clips at a time—not all at once.
Bad Install: Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool
Sometimes, the only option is to completely uninstall and reinstall Premiere Pro. Luckily, there's the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, which can help you clean up corrupted installations. If nothing else has worked and you suspect it might be an installation problem, you can give it a try. You'll want to be computer savvy though, as Adobe does recommend the tool only be used by experienced users.
Best Practices to Avoid Crashes
Besides bugs that might cause Premiere Pro to crash, here's a list of best practices you can try to ensure a better experience while editing.
Update Drivers
Update your operating system and graphics card drivers regularly. This is something that can frequently cause issues with Premiere Pro. Here are instructions to update your Mac OS and Windows OS. For your GPU, you can check the AMD Drivers and the NVIDIA Drivers web pages.
Don't Update Builds Immediately
Never immediately update to a new version of Premiere Pro if you're currently in the middle of a project. Especially if your current version is working smoothly. I also recommend treating the newest release build as if it's a beta. Allow some time for the bugs to get worked out before immediately diving in and using it on a time-sensitive project.
Keep Previous Builds Installed
Premiere Pro Trash Preferences Shortcut
Keep previous versions of Premiere Pro installed on your computer. (Especially if you have a stable build.) These versions work as a nice back up if the newest release is particularly buggy. Sure, it may not have the latest released features, but at least it works! Previous builds are also ideal for older projects that might have been originally edited with them.
Minimum System Requirements
Always make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for the latest version of Premiere Pro before upgrading. Currently, the recommended specifications are an Intel 7th Gen CPU (or equivalent), sixteen GB of RAM for HD media, and a four GB graphics card. If your system is on the edge of these requirements, always check the Premiere Pro System Requirements page before upgrading.
Break up Bigger Projects
Large projects with lots of media and timelines can bog down any editing program, not just Premiere Pro. I've experienced many crashes in Final Cut, as well. One easy solution is to break up those large projects into multiple project files. That way, everything isn't tied to one single project file. Then, you can just import them all together into a new project when it's time to render.
Transcode Footage for Editing
Another best practice is to transcode your footage into a format that's easier for Premiere Pro to work with. Highly compressed codecs like H.264 are not optimal for lengthy edits. Use Media Encoder to transcode all of your clips to an edit-friendly codec like ProRes LT.
Use Proxy Files
Another workflow tip is to use proxy files in Premiere Pro. This substitutes your full-resolution clips with lower-resolution ones that are much easier to edit with. Check out our quick tip article for Creating Proxies in Premiere Pro.
Close Everything Else
Finally, the easiest thing to try if you're getting crashes is to close everything else open on your computer, such as other programs, browsers, music players, etc. Obvious enough, but it can help free up some much-needed memory!

Adobe Premiere Pro CC certainly isn't the most stable or glitch-free NLE on the market, but it is one of the fastest, most robust, and codec friendly software offerings. And if you're like me, you'll take your software a bit glitchy as long as it's the most cutting edge and performance driven.
The best way to get the best performance from Premiere is to use ProRes Proxy files…but the client needs this edit tomorrow and there's no time to transcode everything! We need to start editing now and we need Premiere to be able to keep up with our blazing fast editing skillz!!! So let's discuss how to squeeze the most performance out of our favorite, crash loving software:
1. Enable GPU Previewing
Premiere can realtime preview video in 3 different ways: CPU (software only), OpenCL (AMD graphics cards), and CUDA (Nvidia graphics cards). By default, software only is selected because not all systems have graphics cards. If your system doesn't have a dedicated GPU (graphics card) then you won't be able to select the GPU Acceleration options and you will be forced to stick with the subpar Software Only setting.
If you do have a dedicated GPU, which is definitely preferable, then you should select a GPU Acceleration option. To change this setting go to File/Project Settings/General… then use the Renderer dropdown menu to select your preference. If you have an AMD GPU then select OpenCL rendering. If you have an Nvidia GPU then select CUDA.
Adobe Premiere Pro Preferences
Note that Nvidia GPUs with more CUDA cores will have better performance so definitely purchase cards that have the highest number of CUDA cores that you can afford. Also, if you have an Nvidia GPU, then make sure to install the CUDA driver and keep it up to date. Nvidia CUDA for the win!
2. Point Media Cache to Different Drive from OS
By default, your Media Cache files are stored on your OS drive. This works fine and all, but it's not optimal for performance because you want your OS drive to be focused on delivering its best read/write performance to your OS and your applications.
Instead of allocating these precious resources to your OS drive, move your Cache to a separate drive. When I build systems, I always dedicate a 500GB SSD strictly for cache purposes and I point the cache files to that drive. The faster the cache drive, the better. So try to use an SSD or even better an M.2 SSD. If you insist on using a spinning disk drive then at least use a 7200rpm drive.
3. Decrease Preview Resolution if Necessary
Premiere does its best to realtime preview your timeline so that you don't have to transcode your videos or wait on render previews. However, even with a fast computer and GPU, sometimes what you have going on in your timeline is still too much to handle and you will notice stuttering video and laggy performance.
Premiere Pro Trash Preferences
If this happens, try reducing your preview resolution located on your Program monitor window. Doing this is typically necessary for RAW footage; unless you have a beastly system! Furthermore, unless your program monitor is displayed full screen, there is typically no need to preview in full resolution because your monitor probably can't display all of the video pixels anyway (i.e. your timeline preview monitor is only occupying the upper right portion of your computer monitor).
4. Disable Clips When Not In Use
Premiere previews the top video track layer of your timeline. It stands to reason that if you have multiple clips on video tracks below your top layer then performance should not be affected since only the top track is previewing…right?…WRONG! Even clips underneath the top layer video track use up system resources and will slow down performance.
Instead of being destructive and deleting these clips, simply right click and uncheck the Enable option in order to disable the clip. This will ensure that you can use this clip again if you so choose to by re-enabling it; but in the meantime it won't take up resources and slow down your timeline preview.
Pro tip: use the keyboard shortcut cmd+shift+e (ctrl+shift+e on Windows) to enable and disable clips instead of right clicking.
5. Edit in a Sequence that Matches Your Footage Settings
Premiere performs best when previewing a sequence that matches the native properties of your footage. Therefore, when you create your sequence, you should right click on an imported clip and select New Sequence From Clip.
Premiere will then create a new sequence that matches the resolution, codec, and frame rate of your clip. I know that many of you are thinking 'But I like to make a 1080p sequence and import my 4K video so I can downscale it in order to reframe.' Doing this is a great practice and certainly much better than upscaling (never upscale!) but all that downscaling takes a performance hit on Premiere.
Instead, I recommend doing all of your edits in native resolution and then once you're ready to do your reframes, create a new 1080p sequence and copy and paste the contents from your native sequence into your new 1080p sequence. Then do all of your reframes because at that point you won't care as much if your video is stuttering since all of your edits are done and you're just fine-tuning.
BONUS TIP: Use an Adjustment Layer for Color Correcting
To create an adjustment layer, your Project window must first be selected (it should be highlighted by a thin blue box), then select File/New/Adjustment Layer… Premiere will then create an adjustment layer file in your project window that you can insert into your timeline. An adjustment layer affects all layers that are below it so keep this in mind when you're editing because you may not want your graphics to be affected by the color corrections of your adjustment layer. If this is the case, simply put your graphics above your adjustment layer.
Adjustment layers are great because they are an easy way to on/off your color grade at a universal level (instead of going into the effect controls of each clip independently). There is a performance benefit to this as well because if you want to watch your timeline for the edits then you want to see it playback as smoothly as possible so simply eyeball off your adjustment layer and watch your timeline playback like butter. Then, when you're ready to tweak the grade, simply eyeball back on your adjustment layer.
Another way adjustment layers can benefit performance is if your sequence resolution is lower than your clip resolution because adjustment layers are based on your sequence resolution. Therefore, all of the effects on your adjustment layer will be rendered at the lower resolution of your sequence, rather than being rendered at the higher resolution of your clips.
