Since the update to premiere pro cc2018 every time I try to drag video files to the timeline the software crashes. I've read and tried a few "workarounds" to deal with this but none have worked. I've never had problems before this. I'm running windows 10
I've tried various different files with varying sizes and formts - all produce the same crash as soon as the file in the project is clicked on to drag it to the timeline. It does not appear to crash with audio files when they are clicked on.
I have had this happen before with footage that Premiere should read and process well. For whatever reason, we were able to import and view in source, but then dragging to the timeline--the whole program crashed. The first time this happened, we re-encoded the footage and everything worked fine through the rest of the footage. The second time it happened this did not fix--so we reinstalled Premiere and everything started working again. If you are still having issues, those two solutions could possibly fix that. I am curious though as to what type of footage+specs you are working with as well. Premiere is excellent at ready so many camera formats--but a few are still a little bumpy. Good luck!
I've tried several different files - my usual MP4 UHD, avi, HD MP4 and even some footage grabbed using screen-recording software - all of them cause the crash as soon as I click on them to drag. I've also uninstalled and re-installed the software.
I have windows 10 pro - never had a problem using premiere pro before the 2018 version - I've been using cc for the last couple of years and before that I used Premiere Pro CS6 and indeed went back to that software to accomplish the task that I wanted to in cc2018
