If your editing in Adobe Premiere Pro, you have probably at some point seen this 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. (kill -SEGV –0000)
This should save your project and hopefully kill that beach ball.
If something looks weird inside Premiere Pro now, just restart the Program.
Hope you liked this video!
Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Thanks so much! this worked perfectly!
Sucha a amazing tip Thank you man
wow this actually worked! thank you!
I've tried this twice and it doesnt work for me. The ball continues to twirl and I have to force quit Pr and reopen the program on my last saved timeline sequence. I have found this afternoon a peculiar workaround. If I click inside the project window on the left of the sequence window and then save - the save is more rapid than before and I'm able to save without my Mac crashing. I'm working on a large documentary project with over 22 hours of material, fortunately, its shot in 1080 p. I'd be interested in hearing other work arounds. I work a lot with two parallel timelines with as many as six to eight sequences in a window above with the master edit timeline in a window below it. The freezing is new to me, so I think this could be a big factor.
super useful! I wonder if there is a similar process for Windows PC?
instructions unclear my entire project deleted after working on it for 4 hours, thanks. Will be unliking.
Where do it saves
hey fellow windows users, this does not work because we don't have a "kill" command in windows.
That is awesome, wow! And that is also why I save nonstop, and do a save-as like three times a day.
Omg I just clicked end task in the task manager and I found this video a second later 🥲
Wow
command invalid for pc
