Hi,
I'm looking for some help with the issues described below. This is the second time recently that I have had the following problem:
-I'm editing in Premiere all day and everything is hunky-dory -EXCEPT- towards the end of the day, I notice the progress bar starts taking a longer time to save the project.
-Concerned about this, I save a copy of the current project and try to open it, but the copied project file is inexplicably huge: 309mb to 1.8GB in size.
-I try to open these large files, which takes forever and I end up getting the message that the project has been damaged and cannot be opened.
-Then I go back to the original file I was working on before the long saves began and I discover that this project file has also now become corrupted and can't be opened.
-I check my auto save folder: Documents->Adobe->Premiere Pro->6.0->Adobe Premiere Pro Auto-Save. There are 5 autosave files in there and none of them are within the past 20 minutes, which is what my default auto save preferences are.
-The last time I had this problem, Disk Utilities informed me that my hard drive had become corrupted and I had to do a disk repair boot. I was walked thru this process on the phone with Apple because the standard procedure did not work.
-After repairing my hard drive, I start getting screen glitches and distortions that look like a bad logic board. I'm familiar with what these look like since my previous Macbook Pro developed a bad logic board too.
-So I take my 3 month old Macbook Pro Retina to the genius bar and they decide to ship it to Apple to get a new logic board.
-I get the computer back a few days later, get back into Premiere and all is well for a couple of days and I think I'm out of the woods, until tonight, I start getting the slow saves once again and this process repeats itself.
Anyone have similar issues or advice on this one?
I'm lost as to whether it's hardware or software related at this point.
Many thanks in advance,
Niels

FOOTNOTE: Now I'm also getting flash frames from adjacent clips when I try to trim my edits. Also, certain clips that I placed color correction effects on, then rendered, then removed the effects from have the last frame of the clip still with the effect on it and when I try to trim that off, I get flash frames from the adjacent clip. I'm starting to pull my hair out.
FOOTNOTE 2: I updated to 6.02 and still having the same problems.
