HELP! Premiere sucks!

[miker]

is your hardware officially supported?

premiere and my old rainbow runner used to drive me nuts ... i ended up editing totally in software, crashes went away ... but you need a software codec that's compatible with the format your hardware captures in ...

Amazingly enough, this is a post loosely related to film-making!

My copy of Premiere 5.1 really doesn't like audio scrubbing (where you grab the little marker bar thingy and just run it through the project) or, for that matter, just me adding sound effects. It tends to crash about once every ten minutes.

This is frustrating as piss and I would like to know why it happens. Anyone know?

Is it a legal copy of Premiere?
I once used a pirate copy of 5.1 and it crashed every time you changed the speed of a clip below 70 percent, weird huh!

I dont know. Try putting all the audio files and avi files on the same hard disk partition as your preview files.
You could exporting your project as audio only, using the compressor of your capture card, and then use these new audio (comes out as avi files) in your project instead (that way they get 'tagged' with your codec hardware.)

a friend of mine had the same trouble with his copy of studioDV - until he noticed it had corrupted his audio driver
(it is a dodgy audio card anyway!)

As for the crashing, I used to have that trouble all the time until I got a faster processor(I went from 400 to 500)
It still crashes now and again, but nowhere near as much.
