A weeks ago, Premiere was in a state where it would gobble up all the RAM on my laptop within 5-10 minutes (25GB). I would be able to edit a video for at least a few minutes before saving it, restarting Premiere, doing more edits. After five or such repeated cycles attempts, I would have to reboot the machine and repeat.

I don't know if that is related to this fault. I do not have the time to re-install all of Windows to try such desperate extremes. A video that should have taken 30 minutes to edit took an entire day.

Since the latest update (today is the 27'th) the memory has been replaced with something else. Please see the picture. Within seconds of dragging anything onto the timeline, I get NOT RESPONDING.

Please infer from the name of the project that you can see in Task Manager that I am losing money because of this. My business is becoming unviable. I have to use other editors now, there is no point in continuing to use Premiere.

I few versions ago, Premiere was working perfectly. I am therefore hesitant to think that it is my machine. I am too scared to update any drivers because experience has shown that that simply causes a new set of problems. Premiere has now become a waste of my time and money.

Kind regards

I have been dealing with this bug for years now.

I move all of my panels to where I want them, right click on my personal workspace, click "Save Changes to this Workspace", quit Premiere, re open Premiere (doesn't matter new project or the same project), and all my panels are in different places again even though I am on my same personal workspace. Have tried making new workspaces, doesn't work. I just got a brand new Macbook Pro and installed Premiere for the first time, so its not some old preference file or something screwing it up. This also happens on every computer running Premiere at the post production house I work at. All running Mojave 10.14.6, Premiere 2020 (happened on '18 and '19 too)

Earlier versions of Premier would create recovery project files that I could reliably open and resume work. I know this all too well, as those versions of Premiere crashed on a daily basis, and I have likely opened over 300+ recovery files.

Sadly, Premiere 2020 still crashes, but the recovery files are no longer usable. If I attempt to open one, my iMac Pro goes to a white screen with spinning beach ball...end of story. BTW, I have the same issue with opening the last auto-save file. The ONLY way to resume work is to build a new project and import the one that crashed. It essentially works like the old recover files did, BUT it takes much more time.

What has changed and why can't I rely on recovery files? Of course, the preferred solution would for Premiere Pro to stop crashing, but I will settle for recovery files that work.

Anybody see this...

Premiere Pro has turned into the most unstable software on my machine. I work in Premiere Pro CC2018 for a little while...all of a sudden the finder locks up (FINDER) and the machine quits or has to be forced shut down. Does not do that in any other Adobe software. At first I thought it was a computer issue so I got a fully loaded iMac Pro installed a few days ago with ALL NEW Adobe software installs...STILL CRASHING THE FINDER & Premiere Pro CC2018 while using the software. It is random... (iMac Pro 2017 / 3 GHz Intel Xenon W / Mojave 10.14 / 64gb RAM / Radeon Pro Vega 16gb VRAM) If this does not stop, I am going to have to start new projects in Resolve. Killing productivity. IDEA: Please tell me this is a known bug that has been addressed in later versions.

If you have two separate monitors in Windows 10 with different DPI settings (say one 2.5k monitor with 100% DPI Scaling, and another 4k monitor with 150% DPI Scaling) and attempt to setup a mutli-monitor workspace, full screen video (mecury transmit/or ctrl+~ for full screen on main monitor) won't display properly.

Steps...

1. Have two different DPI settings for multi-monitor on Windows.
2. Move project panel or any workspace panel onto secondary display.
3. Use CTRL+~ to "Toggle full screen" or turn on transmit for secondary display.
4. Video will be over scaled and mis-placed on monitor.

I get that many people don't have two monitors or if they have two they might be matched, but this bug drives me crazy. Basically means I can't really use two monitors or I'm constantly rearranging my windows to get what I want to happen happen instead of editing.

Hopefully this can be fixed without me buying a new monitor.
