toss the PC out the window
 

Ever have one of those days where your ?%$#$@ pc is just working against you and the only solution is to smash the living shit out of it ?

what do you use a gun or a bat .. i got both and cant decide which to go with !

I shoulda stuck with mac

editing videos and the comp is crashing on you?

lol... I keep my airsoft next to my computer...

Get frustrated, I can unload a few rounds, and it still works after...

Ice pick or screw driver.

I've had a few battles with this comp. Luckily i should have a new one up and running in the next few weeks... :upsidedow

YEs !!! Ok so my files are big .. but I m not layering and still the bugger keeps crashing ..

Is there a fix in Premier 2.0 ?

its not like its a cheap ass pc iether .. Dual pent. 4, 3.201 Ghz, 1.0 Ram .. with a matrox rtx 100 extreme card .. this fucker should rock .. But damn these crashes are driving me bongers ... It did this about 3 months ago .. and then nothing for at least 2 - 2 1/2 months .. But the last three days have been hell ... I can easily say I m losing one to two hours of work a day !

Someone help !

get a mac, should fix the problem

agreed. :)

I vote bat. With some rap in the background. Office Space style. =)

A gun really doesn't have the dramatic and visual effect of a motherboard exploding into a million little bits. Make sure you wear safety glasses too if you're going to tear into the case.

Give it a good kick every now and then

Click the "Auto Save" feature in Premiere! :) FYI, Premeire Pro seems to be the most stable NLE for PC's. I use Mac now!

damn it feels good to be a gangsta

Best part of that movie!

Vid, one of the things I noticed about Matrox / Premiere is there are certain combinations of things that fuck it up beyond understanding. For whatever reason, it will puke it's guts out on what seems to be very simple, but in fact is really complicated.

Check through and see what filters and transitions you may be using. I learned pretty quickly to avoid the matox transitions until the very end, as they tend to suck the machine dry of resources and most of the major bomb out errors occur during their rendering on the fly. Save often.

Keep notes of what you are doing when it blows up, and you will start to see patterns of what it is that is making it go nuts.

Actually Alex I do the same thing... always leave my effects and heavy rendering for last ...

Marketsmast .. you might have something there .. the pC does seem to lag when Iè, doing more then one thing ... Extra Ram might just do the trick

Thanks

Opps double post ... is the site loading slow for everyone else?

I was having the same problems with my PC using Adobe Premier Pro and the Matrox RTX-100 card. After a couple of frustrating years of barely hitting deadlines and the constant frustration of the damn thing always crashing, I decided to walk away from PC and switch over to Mac. I had over $6k into my PC trying new software, motherboards, constant upgrades and it never worked correctly. I ordered the Mac and right out of the box has been a dream. I hate to say it bro, but sometimes it is better to just walk away.

You switched from Mac to PC???? Huh? Nobody does that.

vid 32bit p4 cannot process your movies fast enuff even a dual, that's the reason why mac is great for editing all g5 on up are 64bit, second option you can buy an avid editing station that a 10k purchase. Next to my g5 I also run premiere pro 2.0 on amd 64bit 1.8 single processor never ad a crash or froze. If you wanna quickly solve this, get a little program like tweak xp and make sure to dump all your .dll and clear your ram often close any other programs even your emails. that should imporve.
have fun :)

you may want to try edius pro, though its not that user friendly; especially its interface its fast for pc workstations - faster than premiere pro i believe :) on the other hand, g5 can do miracles

Thanks I'll check out this tweak xp .. I don't do anythiong other then Photoshop and Premier on this PC.

I have a friend that got pissed off at his laptop and actually smashed it to pieces. He started with an uppercut to the screen and went from there.
