Delay on playback when switching between Sequences (Media Pending)

Hello guys,
I'm growing quite frustrated with Premiere CC lately.
So I am running CC on a Desktop PC. Core elements are : Asus X-79 Deluxe, Intel i7 4930K, 32gb ram, Geforce Titan.
OS (Win 8.1) and CC are running on a SSD. Footage is on internal 7200rpm HHDs.
All other softwares (mostly Davinci and Red Cine) are working perfectly, fast, no crash what-so-ever. So I thought the system was working fine. But Premiere is a nightmare and I'm trying to figure out where it can come from.
Some issues appeared recently, on the latest version, and I did not have in the previous ones.
First, I was facing a huge problem when simply opening clips from the Project window into the Source player. I usually had a 30-second "Media Pending" every time. When working with 1000+ files, it was simply impossible to work. Weirdly enough, I found a trick : when opening the first clip, I would have this Media Pending issue, but (that's where it gets funny), if I did not play the clip, just stay on the first frame, and opened a second one right away, then the second one wouldn't have the Media Pending issue. As long as I stayed on Frame 1 of each clip, I could open the next one without any issue. Then, once I navigate in those "pre-opened" clip, they'd play fine, without delay. But again, if I went a bit further and opened a new clip (not previously pre-opened) I'd have to go through 30 seconds of Media Pending again. F*** annoying. But whatever, I just had to open all clips before starting editing and then it would work.
But now, I have a very similar issue when I edit further on. Especially if I have several sequences, every time I move from one sequence to the next, it would take several seconds before the video (on the Program Player) would appear. Most of the time, the player just stays black, but a couple of times, I got the Media Pending screen again.
Then, once this is passed, the playback is all over the place. The most common problem is that the video plays, but if I press stop, the cursor stops on the timeline (the UI reacts to what I do) but the video keeps playing.... and I can press stop like a maniac, it stops playing like 20 seconds later... The UI still reacts, I can navigate menus etc... but the video just keeps playing. I have to wait several seconds before being able to work again.
I've tried a lot of things : changing the footage to a different disk, updating Video drivers. I suspect it is related to a fairly new function cause I never had these problems on the previous Premieres (the pre 2014.2 version). But right now, I just missed the deadline of a client today because the program was being so slow. You can imagine I feel a bit stressed.
Let me know if you have experienced stuff like this before, or if you had any idea where it can come from, I would really appreciate your help!
Thanks a lot!
Cédric

Yes of course, I know it's mostly the frustration talking, but unfortunately the issues with the software are important enough to affect my job a lot.
And they are still here, I'm really trying different solutions, especially since they appeared recently, they must be linked to a new feature somewhere in Premiere. Any idea what it could be? It working absolutely fine on Premiere pre-2014.2.
Now I open my almost finished sequence, and when I drag the cursor across the sequence, every time it's on a new clip, it freezes for a while. A few seconds. Then that clip plays fine. I move to another shot and it's the same, the video freezes for a while (UI still reacts normally). If I try to just press play, it plays the shots that i already when over, but if there is a new one, the video freezes, sound continues, and I can press stop as many times as I want, it keeps playing.
Once I have finally gone once over every shot, then the video plays absolutely fine. So I guess it has to do with a cache option. But tried cleaning the cache, moving the scratch disk to a different disk (now it's on a internal ssd, should be fast!) but to no avail..
At this point, I feel the last 3 options I have is :
- finish my current projects, and try an entire new workflow for the following ones, and use something else than the MXF container
- or, finish my current projects then move to Avid
- rebuild my entire system to see if that changes anything

Dreamweaver 6.1 - JavaScript error when switching between open tabs

When switching between open tabs a sequence of javascript
errors occurs. I had not used Dreamweaver for about 2 weeks, and
last time I used it with no problems.
I have tried uninstalling it, OKing removal of all files when
asked, re-installing it and updating with dwmx61_updater.exe, but I
still get the same errors.
This has rendered the software virtually unuseable, so any
help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm working to a
rapidly-approaching deadline.
"While executing Browse_Back enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Forward enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
followed by
"While executing Browse_Stop enabled in toolbars.xml, a
JavaScript error occurred"
The relevant code seems to be :

<toolbar id="Browser_Toolbar" platform="win"
label="Browser Navigation" container="document"
initiallyVisible="false">
<button id="Browse_Back"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/back.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/back_dis.gif"
tooltip="Back"
label="Back"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('back')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.backPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Forward"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/forward.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/forward_dis.gif"
tooltip="Forward"
label="Forward"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('forward')"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.forwardPage()"
update="onEveryIdle"/>
<button id="Browse_Stop"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/stop.gif"
disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/stop_dis.gif"
tooltip="Stop"
label="Stop"
enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.getPageBusy()"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.stopPage()"
update="onBrowserPageBusyChange"/>
<button id="Browse_Refresh"
image="Toolbars/images/MM/browserRefresh.gif"
tooltip="Refresh"
label="Refresh"
enabled="true"
command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.refreshPage()"/>
presumably the next error is caused by the previous ones
failing :
"While executing getCurrentValue in AddressURL.htm, a
JavaScript error occurred"
the relevan tcode :
function getCurrentValue()
var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
var value = dom.browser.getURL();
if (value && value.length)
//check if is it not a temp file
//extract the tail of the url
var filename = value;
var slashIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("/");
filename = filename.substring(slashIndex+1);
var tempIndex = filename.indexOf("TMP");
if (tempIndex != 0)
addRecentAddress(value);
return value;

You can try this simple fix -
Quit DW.
Find this folder -
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
and delete it.
Restart DW. Works better?

Graphic distortion when switching between external and built-in display (rMBP)

Recently (within the past two weeks or so) I've noticed a strange issue when switching between my external display (Thunderbolt) and my built-in display on my 15" rMBP. The following issue seems to be specific to Photoshop CS6.
Typically, I'll have a PS document open on my external display and I'll wind up taking my to another location. If I close the PS document while on my built-in and then re-open it, I get all kinds of distortion and pixellation. Closing out PS and reopining, restarting, logging on/off; none of it seems to work. It seems like the issue is with the PSD itself, but it doesn't make any sense to me. Any ideas? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/iCipSc7.jpg

Do you have intel gpy as well as other graphic card? You may be viewing document on different gpu's. PS does not like multiple gpu's.

How to keep location in a table persistent when switching between pages

Hi -
How would I keep my last location persistent in a table when switching between pages? If I am on cell X and switch to another page, when returning to the previous page, I return to the top of the table. This can be very annoying when trying to find the same location in a large table (or even in a small one).
Thanks.

If by "page" you mean "sheet", you can do it. To get back to the same place you were in the other sheet, click on the sheet in the sidebar (the list of sheets/tables/charts/etc on the left). Don't click on the table, click on the sheet.

Video tracks disappear when changing between sequences in premiere CS6

Dear people, can you please help me find out why video tracks disappear when changing between sequences in premiere CS6.
All it shows is the audio track and it is maximized to the first frame of the sequence. Video tracks are there but hidden - although video IS showing up in the program monitor.
When I pull the tracks down in the timeline window using the dividing line between the video and audio tracks and set the sequence work area back it works fine, however it is a great annoyance having to do this every time when i swap between sequences.
Can anybody please suggest a solution to this?
I'd appreciate any help.
MD

This is the audio tracks problem i cannot overcome:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1586025
(basically every type of audio i drop/place onto the timeline becomes left channel only, regardless of it being music or camera-recorded audio.
In the source monitor everything plays back just fine, but when placed to the timeline - it becomes LEFT only.
Weird.... (or am I and not it)

Auto show/hide Plug-in when switching between patches in Mainstage 2

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to have Mainstage 2 automatically reveal a plug-in when switching between patches. For instance, when switching to a Clav patch, have it reveal the EVD6 plug-in. Then, if you switch to a Rhodes patch, it automatically closes the EVD6 and reveals the EVP88.

As far as I know, no. I haven't found a way to do this. It would be useful in certain setups.

Error when switching between drafts: "The instruction at "0x009f6487" ...

Running Contribute CS3 and get this error frequently when switching between documents in the Draft Console:
The instruction at "0x009f6487" referenced memory at "0x06bd7a24". The memory could not be "read".
Click on OK to terminate the program
Click on Cancel to debug the program
I do not get this error any other time. Only when editing multiple documents and switching between them. Clicking Save for Later on the toolbar, instead of clicking directly on the document in the Draft Console does not help.
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.

Can you please try clearning the Contribute preferences?
To Clear the preference, quit Contribute, and then delete the Contribute CS3 folder in C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\ and also run the following command " reg delete "HKCU\Software\Adobe\Contribute 4.1" /f " if you are using Contribute CS3. Reconnect to the site and try the same scenario.
Note that, if you clear the preferences then no connection will be listed in Contribute, you need to recreate the connections. It will be like a fresh installation.

Yosemite 10.10.1 - DNS cache does not clear when switching between WiFi networks

Before updating to Yosemite, DNS caches would clear when switching between WiFi networks, as they should.
For Example, when using an Exchange server, your server name might be something like mail.company.com. Outside of the corporate LAN the IP would resolve to the outside (WAN) address. When you move the laptop inside the corporate LAN, it should clear the cache so mail.company.com resolves to the internal (LAN) address. This is just one example of a dumb DNS transition not taking place switching from outside to inside (and vice versa).
Instead, OS X is holding onto the outside DNS record even when moving to the Corporate LAN. The only way to fix is to run the DNS cache command (which is MUCH more convoluted in Yosemite now), or more easily, to quickly turn off then turn on WiFi.
This is an irritation as I have to perform this action every morning, and every time I come back to my desk from offsite.

Well, clearing the caches is as simple as this, no?
Clear MDNS Cache
sudo discoveryutil mdnsflushcache
Clear UDNS Cache
sudo discoveryutil udnsflushcaches
One other thing: Have you tried 10.10.2? There are many many fixes in 10.10.2 over 10.10.1.

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Forced to Close all open applications when switching between users.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13 inch, and have 2 accounts set up on the computer.
When switching between users on the computer, I am always forced to close all open applications on the current user, in order to switch to another user.
I was wondering if there was ANY way to keep the pages (specifically Safari) open when switching to another user, so that I can go back to them when I log back in to the other account.
thanks for the help!

Enjoy!

We have been successfully using CC for several months, then about 30 days ago suddenly when we tried to switch apps between dreamweaver, and Photoshop the computer went to a White screen and froze. This problem is completely repeatable, and we are at a complete loss to correct the problem. Any ideas? It doesnt do this when you switch withing Bridge and Photoshop, but with anythign else,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, CRASH!!

I am unable to get into the chat. I tried explorer and chrome and neither will allow us to access the chat. It continues to go around and around.

FaceTime camera turns off when switching between spaces

I will have the Facetime app on, have a conversation with a person. I have Mail opened up full screen in another "space." When I switch to that space, the camera turns off. I have to go back to the "space" that FaceTime is in in order to turn the camera back on. Is there a way to keep the camera on all the time when switching between different spaces and the Dashboard?

Having the same problem - In Snow Leopard, when I was on a FaceTime chat with a friend, I was able to navigate away from the FaceTime and surf, check the calendar and other stuff without pausing my video feed. In LION, for whatever reason, FaceTime pauses itself whenever I navigate away from the app. It's as if the application is FORCING me to stay in the conversation when, sometimes, I use FaceTime for TALKING, not VIDEO CONFERENCING.

Getting the spinning wheel when switching between accounts

Hi all,
I am getting the spinning wheel when switching between accounts on a mac mini. There are two accounts and quite often when we go from one to the other we get the spinning beachball after putting in the password to log in. I am finding the only real solution to be is to put the machine to sleep (button at the back for a sec or two) wait for it to go to sleep and then wake it up and it mostly will then log in and keep working.
It's an older intel dual core mac mini with an upgraded HDD. I previously had an iMac running snow leopard where the same problem occured and recently migrated over the account to the mini running Lion. It seems to be happening more often.
I also seem to remember that occasionally when using say Pages you would get the spinning beachball and then you would have to hit the desktop or go to another program and then back to pages to get it working again.

Does it occur no matter which way you're going say? i.e, both from
User 1 -> User 2
User 2 -> User 1
If its only one way, have a look at the 3rd party loginitems for the account your going to. If its both ways, see what 3rd party loginitems both accounts have in common. The best (though time consuming) way to eliminate the culprit is to remove all 3rd party apps from loginitems and add them in one at a time, testing for the problem each time.
If you get the BSOD while actually logged in (say, while using Pages), try running activity monitor (or use terminal.app with the command 'top -u' (without the quotation marks)), and see if you can notice any process running at more than 30%CPU.

When switching between user accounts, the background desktop picture disappears and goes to just a blue background. Whats up with that?
