A bug? Photoshop Action Playback is too fast after CS5-CS6 upgrade!! My action wont work

On a PC
I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 (cloud) over the long weekend and I'm now faced with a massive headache. The process actions I use intensively for my work are all foxed by the simple problem that the action playback is going too fast for scripting over two documents to keep up. I have tried everything I can think of but the only thing that allows the action to progress sensibly (as in previous versions of the software) is the step-by-step playback mode. This is too slow to use on an ongoing basis.
The problem is caused by the following sequence
Save as document (on desktop)
Open as document - open as Camera Raw - after settings open in Photoshop
Select All
Copy
Close - saving no
(PS automatically selects previous document)
++++ paste ++++ ERROR Paste command is not currently available
This is where Photoshop should select the previous/underlying document before applying the Paste command. Since the upgrade its been trying to paste the clipboard in the split second after closing and selecting the previous document, and reporting no document available at all. Slowing or pausing the playback with step by step or stop&continue works around the problem but causes workflow to slow down drastically.
Is there a way to script a pause during this one crucial moment? Or is there a preference setting I have overlooked that is casing the behaviour?

Save as - open as camera raw - select all- copy - close - paste. The dance is the ony way I can apply Camera Raw settings such as clarity, noise reduction etc to my retouch after the initial raw conversion. Its a well used technique that I've known about for years. Loads of people use this method in CS6, but for some reason I can'y get it to work after the upgrade.
The action is recorded in the regular record/play type action script. Its a big action and would take many hours to convert into javascript (even if I had the skills). I could possibly use the script recorder plugin but that rules out future tweaks without rewriting everything from scratch. app.refresh and $.sleep sound interesting though... is it possible to incorporate them into the basic action script?

    Could you capture your screen and post it. Have the layers panel open and any layers that are collapsed, expanded. We will need to see the entire screen, as some information in the tab is important as well.

  • Photoshop video tutorials are too fast

    The videos are all too fast. Why don't you offer email tutorials with step by step instructions on how to use Photoshop? Then we can work at our own pace.

    There are some great sources for step-by-step Photoshop tutorials. One of them is psdtuts+, create a photo realistic digital painting in photoshop.
    Peachpit Press also offers some great books on Photoshop that offer step-by-step tutorials as well.
    Digital Arts Online also offers some great step by step tutorials.
    These are all are in addition to Photoshop.com and AdobeTV. When I follow a tutorial, I often watch a step, pause, then complete the step on my own computer. this way, I don't miss a step!

  • My ipad battery drains much faster after iOS 7 upgrade

    my ipad battery drains 4x faster after ios7 upgrade.....how do I fix this? 

    Dig into your settings. iOS7 defaults a lot of stuff on that you may not need. Such as tons of notifications, background app updates, background app refresh. Turn extra stuff off and see if that helps.

  • Audio playback speed too fast

    Please help. After installing Security Update 2010-002 on Leopard 10.5.8 all audio tracks play several bpm faster. This is true for pre created tracks in Logic and playing tracks in Toast or using quick preview. All iTunes material is also affected. I also have a Snow Leopard partition which I haven't updated in any way and the problem exists there too. I'm using a late 2008 Macbook Pro. Any ideas? Best, L.

    Without actually looking at your system, I'd be hard-pressed to pinpoint the culprit. I don't even have a hunch. I could be a conflict between some third-party application/plug-in/login item/ and something else.
    The only thing I can suggest is this:
    1. Move the Preferences folder from ~/Library/ (that is the Library folder in your home directory) to the Desktop.
    2. Log out and log back in.
    Your familiar working environment will likely look very different from what you're used to, since Mac OS will recreate the missing preferences and use the default settings.
    Launch the applications that you experienced trouble with and test them out. Be prepared to reconfigure them, as they will likely launch in their default state. If everything works fine, you're going to have to add your old .plist files back one by one, logging out and back in each time.
    You can speed up the process by batch-adding back the .plist files that you feel have little to do with the underlying problem. (For example, iPhoto or iWork .plists are the least likely candidates to cause any problems, etc.) You're going to make a few educated guesses and learn a great deal on the way.
    I'm sorry I can't be more specific. Your problem is very unusual, and if I experienced it myself, I'd do exactly what I described above. At least, you were able to localize the problem to your user account.
    A few pointers.
    It's a good idea to keep the two Preferences folders open side by side, both set to List View. When moving your old preferences to the newly created Preferences folder, hold down the Option key (to copy them, rather than move). This will save you a great deal of time if you have to start all over again.
    Cheers.

  • WebCam Live! Pro: Video Playback Plays Too Fast...

    I recorded a few clips for about 0 to 5 seconds each. When i playback on different players, PowerDVD, DivX Player, Windows Media Player and even the WebCam Center's own player, the video plays like its fastforwarding, and it says that the video is only 2 to 3 seconds long. The recording
    format is:
    Colour Space/Compression: RGB24
    Output Size : 640 x 480
    Frame Rate : 30fps
    Compression Control : All the way to Better Quality
    And also what does the 30fps mean? Does it mean smooth video like those on television? Or, 30fps in WebCam terms, means better and smoother video over other WebCams?

    Try turning off automatic exposure in the settings. And adjust some of the other settings (gamma, brightness, exposure) until you get a picture which you're happy with. And try that. In the UK, films are made at 24fps (frames per second) PAL format, and in America it's 30fps NTSC format. So yes, 30fps is as good as it gets! It's as good as TV and better than a lot of other webcams.

  • Audio recording/playback plays too fast, faster than Video

    : Whenever I record sound from my computer, whether it's from my mic or just sounds playing on the computer, the recorded file always plays the audio faster than the video. I've checked the drivers and re-installed several times, even reformatted and it's still the same thing. I even played around with the hardware acceleration meter with trial and error and it end's up always the same.
    What could be the problem?

  • Fan runs too fast after SMC update

    About a week ago I updated the SMC of my Macbook 7.1 (mid 2010).
    I even leaved it sometime  (days or weeks) on the list of software updates without installing, as it said I should not touch until it was done and it was to fix some compatibility with hardware that I don't have. So I did it at a time I would not do anything.
    Since then, the fan began to work at full speed almost permanently, sometimes it slows down to normal operation (really normal, increase rotation when the device heats up, slow down to 2k rpm when it is cold).
    I have formated the HD twice, because I tought that had done something wrong, but the problem persisted, so I used the hardware diagnostics and found two error numbers, one for the fast run:
    4SNS/1/40000001:TN1D - - 110.00
    And another for the extensive test:
    4SNS/1/40000001:TN1D - - 1.000
    I searched these numbers but the results are not good nor precise, peaple said it's related to thermal detector or the logic board permanently damaged.
    My current SMC version (after the update) is 1.60f6
    I don't know the old version of SMC.
    I installed iStat PRO widget, from where I can see that all thermometers are operating normally (these must be the source of the control of the fan) and the fan running at 6,200 rpm.
    I even tried to install Fan Control system pref component, but it can only increase the commanded speed of the fan at any time, never decrease.
    I also tried to reset SMC as said in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 , sugested in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1306035
    Is there a way to roll back to the old SMC version?
    Or to install some program to overwrite the wrong control?
    Thank you.

    you need to bring it to an Apple store or AASP to have it properly diagnosed.  Only Apple certified technicians have access to what those diagnostic codes mean.

  • Playback taking too long after shooting ultra long exposure in Bulb mode using 5D mark iii.

    5D Mark iii

    Do you have long exposure noise reduction enabled?
    Menu -> Red Camera #3 page -> Long Exposure Noise Reduction
    When you take a long exposure with this feature enabled, the camera takes a 2nd exposure of equal length but without opening the shutter.  This 2nd frame (a "dark" frame) is used to assess the noise levels so that the camera can reduce noise by subtracting it from the original frame.  However... it also means all long exposures actually take twice as long before they are ready.

  • Voice too fast after import: iTunes to Garageband

    Hi I searched the forum but could not find a solution.
    I recently recorded my first podcast. Here are the specs:
    RECORDING
    I connected the phone to iPod via a mini jack to the top of a Griffin recorder.
    I recorded the interview.
    Connected the iPod to my MAC.
    Voice recording synced up nicely with iTunes
    It plays perfectly on iTunes.
    GARAGEBAND
    I then open a new podcast project with GarageBand.
    I find my interview via the media browser in my iTunes Library.
    I then played it again to make sure it is OK
    Then I drag it to my Male Voice in Garageband...
    PROBLEM
    The voice plays like if it is mikey mouse speaking on adrenalin
    The recording is 23:20mins long but after import it is condensed to 4:13mins
    What do I do? Your help is really appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Rick

    Hi Rick,
    This happened to me as well. It has to do with the audio sampling rate not matching between the ipod recorder and garageband. The solution I came to, was to use quicktime to convert the audio before importing it into Garageband. I'm not sure whether it takes QT Pro to do this or not, I have QT pro so didn't think about it.
    I use "Sound to .wav" and I had to play around a bit with the settings to get it to work. I think upping the sampling/bit rate to 44,100 is what did the trick, though I am answering this from memory so not completely sure, you may need to fiddle with it a bit.
    Don't know whether the Griffin has software which allows you to vary the sample rate in the original recording. My recorder does not, so I have to convert.
    Good Luck!
