How to save the project when Adobe Premiere Pro crashes đźŤ
If your editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, you have probably at some point seen the symbol known as “the apple beach ball” or the spinning wheel of death 💀…
…if you will.
But don’t freak out, you can still save your project and I’m going to show you how.
First, click “cmd + spacebar” to open “Spotlight” on your mac and search for “activity monitor” (or “Task Manager” on PC) and open that program.
Mac: Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
PC: Start > Programs > Task Manager
In that program, find Premiere Pro and check the PID number and remember that.
(This number can be different next time this happens, so go through this process every time Premiere Pro crashes.)
Now, click “cmd + spacebar” again, search for “Terminal” (or “Command Prompt” on PC), and open that program.
Mac: Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Terminal
PC: Start > Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt
In that program, write kill, space, dash, SEGV, space, dash, and then the PID-number you just looked up and hit Enter.
