Gain control freezes after a certain point (cannot get highlights to 100) with colorwheel mode

I just purchased Adobe CC, (Switching from FCP 7, did not want to upgrade to FCP X).  Really loving SpeedGrade (was an Apple color user)
I am using a standard iMAC keyboard and magic mouse (iMAC 27")
In colorwheel mode:  After setting the blacks to 0 with the offset wheel, I try to move the gain wheel to the right, to get my highlights to 100.  Even when holding shift, I have to click and drag several times to move the pointer.  I cannot move it in one motion.  Even then, the pointer will literally stop or "freeze" at about the 3 o'clock position.  In order to get my highlights to 100, I have to switch to the Editbox mode and scroll the numbers up manually.  I cannont do it with the colorwheel mode.
Very frustrating.  Any advice?

Thank you so much for your prompt response.  After I posted my question, I looked online and found some users had the exact same issue and found the solution.  It is in the way you move the mouse:
When clicking on the indicator for a color wheel, my impulse was to move the mouse in a downward circular motion, to mimic the round path of the wheel.  This appears to not work and makes the indicator "freeze" after a certain point.
When clicking on the indicator and then moving the mouse laterally, directly to the left or right on a mouse pad (or desk), it moves the color wheel indicator all the way down to either end.  When moving the mouse this way, it seems to work.  I hope I’m explaining this clearly.
To answer your question, yes the issue was with the Offset and Gamma wheels as well.  But since the particular adjustment for these was not as much, I didn't realize it.  But the gain adjustment I was doing was more severe, which is why I thought it was just the gain wheel adjustment.
So it appears it was the way you move the mouse to adjust the color wheel - which should be left and right.
I really am enjoying Speedgrade much more than Color.  I was a huge Color fan as well and very upset when Apple discontinued it.  I am very happy I found SpeedGrade and look forward to learning it more in depth.  My next challenge is to find out how to use the SG color wheel controls to mimic curve adjustments.

    Hi RWD2,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below. 
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:

  • Youtube videos freeze after a certain point and can't be played

    Every time I get on Youtube I can watch up to like 30 seconds of a video and then it freezes and I can't play. I've cleared my cache, I've checked for updates, I've restarted the computer etc. Its not my computer I know because when I use Chrome the videos work.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

    Thank you.

  • Cannot install Creative Cloud desktop app. It just freezes at a certain point.

    I have a brand new machine running Windows 8.1. I don't know much about specs, so if you need more information on my setup, please tell me where to find it.
    I cannot install the Creative Cloud desktop app. It just freezes at a certain point. I had this problem many months ago. I had a chat with someone from Adobe, and they had no clue what it was. I then called in and the phone was basically passed around from person to person trying to figure out what the issue was. They took over my screen, they tried all of the stuff that I read in the forums. Eventually I asked for the highest up person in the office and that person found a workaround that has been working for all these months.
    However, now that I tried to update the Creative Cloud desktop app, the update froze around 40-50% each time, so I uninstalled the Creative Cloud desktop app, then tried to reinstall it. Now I have the same problem that I had many months ago where when I double click on CreativeCloudSet-Up, and it says it's downloading, it freezes very early on and just sits there. No error message, just sits there forever until I kill the process. I can't even cancel it properly.
    I have very slow internet. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I've been downloading all the CC apps directly from the internet, but since I'm paying nearly $60 a month, I'd really like to have the CC desktop app. I'm sick of downloading each update manually off of websites.
    I have read every thread, empty or packed full of replies, and none of the suggestions seem to help me. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing, but I really don't think that paying $60 a month should require me to fiddle with a bunch of files and cleaners, etc. I can't believe this problem has not been solved yet.
    Could it have something to do with my computer? Or is my internet provider blocking something from Adobe? I have no idea and I'm honestly so frustrated. I come home from work everyday and spend the rest of the night trying to fix this issue, and I'm sick of it. I won't call in again, since it was a disaster last time. I was on the line for over 4 hours, and they still didn't properly solve the problem.
    I am 100% desperate and tired of this.

    Nothing? Is there no solution to my problem? Do I have no other option other than to cancel my subscription? Pirating Adobe's software would cause me a lot less hassle than this, and that's not the way it should be.

  • After up dating iphone3 cannot get any sound on receiving calls or messages

    After updating my iphone3 cannot get any sound on receiving calls or text does anybody no how to rectify this problam ?

    I have been having this issue as well and have been looking online for possible solutions to the issue of the iPhone not receiving phone calls or text messages.   The solution for me was solved when I turned off the LTE service, forcing the device to use the 4G network.  Apparently, my location was just far enough from the LTE tower that calls to the phone were not going through, regardless of the signal strenght showing on the device.  The LTE iPhone will always look for the closest LTE town which may be further than the closest non-LTE tower and as a a result, the signal drops.  I would suggest contacting your service provider and have them locate the closest LTE tower to your location to determine if this is the cause of your issue.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

    While YOU may not have attempted to jailbreak the phone, SOMEONE ELSE did.  Error 1015 occurs by attempting to restore a previously jailbroken phone. 
    It's very likely you may NEVER get your phone out of recovery mode and your phone may be rendered permanently bricked.
    Terms of Use of this forum prohibit the discussion of jailbroken phones.  You'll have to scour the internet for a solution to your problem, if indeed one exists.

    I changed my Apple ID and password last week.  Today I cannot get into my computer with the new password..help!

    Your Apple id password is not necessarily the same as your log-in password.
    The former is what you use to log-in to Apple services and sites. The latter is what you use to login to your computer. That does not change when you change your Apple ID password. Try the original computer login password.

  • Inserted a png PIP into my clip, can see it fine, can see it playing with the clip as expected when moving the play head manually, but cannot get it to play with the clip for preview, pleas help!

    I am sorry if my inquiry here seem dumb but I am a new iMovie user and cannot figure this out.  I inserted a png image into my video clip in the project as PIP, I can see it and move it and can also see it playing with the main clip if I move the play head manually, I can also see the PIP part only playing along with the undelying main clip if I use the Play button in the preview window when the PIP section is selected, however, for the life of me I cannot get it to play with the main clip all together for previewing the entire video via the video play button.  What happens is that the video plays normally and when the PIP section comes in, the video clip stop all motion during the duration of the PIP section and the PIP image itself is simply NOT showing.  Am I missing something really stupid here?  It seems as it the Picture On Picture is a separate clip that plays with the underlying main video clip if selected and played by itself but it is not part of the video clip and will not play with it.  What am I missing here, can anyone please help?

    The easiest way to get up and running is to convert your MP3s to MP4s (obviously there won't be a video track). The following link links to a file that was an MP3 that I converted to an MP4 using QT Player Pro. When you go to export the files, make sure you click on "Options" and then check the box for "Enable Streaming" in the Streaming tab. It should stream flawlessly using QT Player. rtsp://rhsstreamit.rih.org/testmp4/Scorpion.mp4
    Make sure you place the media to be streamed in the proper folder. You should only get a "404" message if the physical file doesn't exist.
    Good luck!

  • Removing characters from string after a certain point

    Im very new to java programming, so if this is a realy stupid question, please forgive me
    I want to remove all the characters in my string that are after a certain character, such as a backslash. eg: if i have string called "myString" and it contains this:
    109072\We Are The Champions\GEMINI
    205305\We Are The Champions\Queen
    4416\We Are The Champions\A Knight's Tale
    a00022723\We Are The Champions\GREEN DAYi would like to remove all the characters after the first slash (109072*\*We...) leaving the string as "109072"
    the main problem is that the number of characters before and after is not the always the same, and there is often letters in the string i want, so it cant be separated by removing all letters and leaving the numbers
    Is there any way that this can be done?
    Thanks in advance for all help.

    You must learn to use the Javadoc for the standard classes. You can download it or reference it on line. For example [http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/lang/String.html].

    You want to do an INSTR to locate the period, then a LEFT to only show the data before it.  Something like:
    IF INSTR({table.field},".") > 0 THEN LEFT({table.field},(INSTR({table.field},".") )-1) ELSE {table.field}
    I subtracted 1 because in your example above the period is in position 8 and you want the first 7 characters.
