Adobe CS6 slow down

Here's my specs:
OSX 10.8.5
Pr6 6.0.5
Imac 3.4 i7
24GB ram
Plenty of space on my Mac HD
Media on a usb3 drive.
Recently installed the trial of CC
All of a sudden CS6 slows down and I get the beach ball when performing certain processes such as:
Duplicating a sequence
Renaming a bin
Dropping a merged clip into the project window.
It's really weird, it plays back my RED footage fine but when I do certain tasks
as I listed above, it beach balls and I can't work.
In the activity monitor I see that Premiere process hits over %100 cpu, when I do these processes.
Any idea how to fix this? I tried restarting, tried disbeling cuda and doing software only.
This just started happening and is a major time sink.  

Seems to just be affecting that one project file.
When I open a different project file, things work okay.  When I create a new project file on the same media drive, things are okay (I often work off externals for clients so I keep everything on th drive).   
Anybody have an idea what's going on? I am working with 5k RED files but the playback isn't the problem, it's those weird issues above.

  • Enabling GPU in CS6 slows down brush strokes

    Hello, I'm currently using Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended and I am experiencing a performance issue with the brush tool when the GPU option is enabled in the performance preferences.
    When the GPU option is disabled I am able to draw lines and marks very quickly with all of the default brush tools available.  Even when options such as scattering and dual brush are turned on simultaneously the brush strokes are rendered so quickly on the canvas it feels instantaneous.  This is great for me because I use Photoshop and other programs for digital drawing and painting.
    However with the GPU disabled I am unable to use functions such as canvas rotation, flick panning, scrubby zoom and so on - features that I find incredibly useful.  Also at different zoom levels images become highly pixelated and smooth lines appear very jagged.  This obviously makes images very difficult to work with!
    As soon as I turn on the GPU option, even at the most basic setting the brush tool renders much slower across the canvas than when it was turned off.  However other operations such as zooming, flick panning, saving etc appear to be very fast.
    This is quite confusing (and disappointing) as the brush tool is by far the most important tool I use in Photoshop.  I spend more time painting marks and drawing lines than anything else.  My understanding is that the brush tool should be just as fast to use (if not faster?) when the graphics processor is enabled as when it is disabled.
    Here is the setup I am using:
    Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)
    Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended (64 bit) with latest updates as of 28/11/14
    Asus Geforce GTX 560 Direct CU with the latest driver 344.75
    16GB available RAM
    Intel i7 Quad Core CPU 3.07 GHz
    As my GPU does not appear to be working hard at all when Photoshop is running even with advanced settings turned on, I can only guess that this is a problem with the Nvidia driver or Photoshop itself?  It seems as if the opengl drawing mode is not communicating properly with the Nvidia driver.  That's my guess so far as I'm no tech expert.
    I have followed every step of the Photoshop CS6 GPU FAQ multiple times http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/photoshop-cs6-gpu-faq.html
    But the problem always persists.
    I have also followed the advice of others by turning brush spacing up to 10% or higher which does help a little bit but this obviously does not solve the problem!
    I would be extremely grateful if anyone could help me to solve this problem - perhaps someone from Adobe can test this on a similar hardware and software setup?  I would be very interested to learn what exactly is going on that is causing the slowdown.
    I will also notify Nvidia and see if they are aware of the problem.
    Many thanks,
    Calum

    Yes, it sounds like something is wrong with your video card driver.
    Until Apple releases a fix, you can keep OpenGL drawing disabled.

  • Adobe/Illustrator slow down

    With 2 Gbs of memory and hearing macs do not get Spyware/Virus', I'm sitting here wondering what could possibly be slowing my Adobe Photopshop and Illustrator down. It's Lagging, taking forever to load!
    Now, I'm aware Apple didn't do a very good job with CS2 on a mac because of Rosetta but when this baby first started up, I was just fine and dandy.
    Could it be my fonts? Just what type of maintenence is needed to make this go right. I've been through disk utility, disabled almost half my fonts. Being in the graphic arts industry, it's getting aggravating working and I tend to run home to my pc to get work done.
    Any ideas?

    "I'm aware Apple didn't do a very good job with CS2 on a Mac"
    Actually you are way off-base with that one. It isn't Apple's responsibility to make 3rd party apps work on a Mac, it is the 3rd party software manufacture's responsibility! Other than slow starts as Rosetta loads and begins translating PowerPC code into Intel code on the fly, most of us don't have issues with CS2 on an Intel Mac.
    First you should go to Adobe and get the CS3 Universal binary beta. It is free to all registered CS2 owners.
    Second, I would familiarize myself with basic Mac maintenenace. A good place to educate yourself on caring for Mac OS X is the X Lab.

  • Slow down when processing image clipping in photo shop with pen tool

    Adobe cs5 slow down when processing image clipping use with pen tool. The path is applying after few seconds when we draw on the image. My system supporting 4 GB memory with 64 bit.

    The main thing i use paths for in photoshop is extracting objects from photos.
    Other uses include stroking paths with the paint tools. For example, if you had
    a powerline to remove, one could trace the line with the pen tool and then stroke
    the path with spot healing brush set to content aware fill.

  • Why does Adobe Premiere CS6 slow playback after importing some audio?

    Adobe Premiere CS6.0 v6.0.2
    Mac Pro:
    1, 4 core - 3.2ghz CPU
    16gb ram (4 sticks of 4gb @ 1066 MHz)
    1 Tb dive with OS/Apps on
    2Tb 7200 RPM media drive
    ATI Radeon HD 5770
    Sequence:
    30Fps
    1920x1080
    Media:
    mostly .MFX files from a Canon XF100 however these clips commonly play nice with Premiere.
    Issue:
    After importing some audio clips (.wav/.mp3, possibly other extensions) to the timeline on occasion the video playback will become choppy and the audio will slow down 3% creating any voices in the video to become deeper and slows down.  Choppy video playback as well.  The problem is very annoying but  it can be temporarily fixed with a computer restart but it will come back.
    Things to note:
    Creating a rendered ID (Exporting the movie out to a .mov) the slowed choppy video does not appear in the final movie.
    Temp. Solution:
    The only way I can fix this problem is by restarting the computer.  Simply restarting Adobe Premiere and closing any non-essential applications does not fix the problem.
    Any ideas on how to fix this are much apperciated.

    Try converting your MP3 to AIFF ,QT or something else Macs like. See if that helps.

    If you are still within your 15 day return period,  nicely explain that you may return the computer without iDVD. That usually does the trick.  (Ask to speak to a senior advisor.)

    If that doesn't work you can purchase iLife 11  (includes iDVD) on disk (don't get the download) for about $39.

  • Adobe Exchange Plugin Slowing Down Photoshop CC?

    Recently, Photoshop CC has been running really slow, and slowing down my computer as a whole. I've been trying to trouble shoot what was causing this, because it wasn't doing this previously. I believe I've narrowed it down to two things - Too many styles loaded in my Styles panel at once (my custom Styles file was over 200mb, because I added a lot of styles that had high res images embedded in them), and for some reason, the Adobe Exchange plugin also seems to be causing a problem.
    When I change my styles back to the default styles it helps speed thigns up, but Photoshop still doesn't start performing normally again until I remove the Adobe Exchange plugin. Anyone else having issues with this plugin eating up a lot of memory and slowing things down?

    Hi Otmaxo,
    Thanks for getting in touch. So that we can work out whether this is a problem with Extension Manager or Adobe Exchange, can you try closing Photoshop CC, then downloading the Adobe Exchange Panel (ZXP) from www.adobeexchange.com, then installing the ZXP file directly in Extension Manager without Photoshop CC open?
    If this does not work, can you confirm whether other ZXP files can be successfully installed via Extension Manager?
    Thanks,
    Fraser

  • Adobe CS6 installation is very slow if internet access is blocked

    Hi,
    I noticed that our Adobe CS6 installations (using an AAMEE package) were surprisingly slow (as in five hours on a fast machine).  I've worked out the cause of the problem, and am posting it here in the hope that it will help someone else experiencing the same issue - also, if anyone from Adobe is reading this, it would be nice to get it fixed, at least for future releases. :-)
    The problem is that our machines don't have direct access to web sites on the internet, i.e., port 80 traffic is blocked by the external firewall.  I discovered that the CS6 installer was repeatedly attempting to contact various web sites, including crl.verisign.net, presumably in order to validate digital certificates on files in the install package.  Each such attempt had to time out before the next was made.  Configuring Windows Firewall to block these attempts reduced the install time from five hours to thirty minutes.
    On Windows 7, this command can be used to install a firewall rule that will block outgoing port 80 traffic:
    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="block www" dir=out action=block protocol=tcp remoteport=80
    Once installation is finished, this command will remove the rule:
    netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="block www"

    For later versions (Adobe CC and onwards) you need to block port 443 as well as port 80.

  • Will downloading adobe flash player slow down my mac

    Hi, i have a macbook pro 13 inch. Its my first mac and still figuring some stuff out but i want to be able to go on youtube, but when i pull up youtube it says i require adobe flash player; is there a way to get youtube videos without downloading flash. If not i dont mind downloading it, just would like to know if it will slow down the speed of my mac before i do download flash.

    No, installing Flash will not slow down your machine.  Make sure it is up to date so there are no security problems.

  • Is there any advanced feature of Adobe Flash released to lower the page loading slow down rate...?

    Any advanced feature of Adobe Flash to embed in my site
    Hi! My site is basically based on providing share market tips covering finance market. The site was recently migrated from the old look to a new look for a professional view. To make the home page wear a professional look, I am displaying a video like screen for news headlines organising images into jquery effect. But what I experienced so far this jquery effect is slowing down the home page at the time of loading (plz refer the screen shot below). You can check it  at Puntercalls Homepage .  I'm sure if I embed the normal flash feature in palce of this jquery, it must slow down than the former.
    So what I exactly want to know is if there is any advanced feature of Adobe Flash by which the homepage won't slow down while loading.
    Kind suggestions are greatly appreciated in advance!
    The screenshot of slower loading as the result of jquery effect:

    If you just want to change the way that the photo section works, then, it is most likely that a Flash version of the photo display might be smoother and faster to play than the jquery version that you are now using. Its difficult to guarantee a result. You have 10 css libraries and 8 js libraries that are called along with a good bit of inline js that is running on this site. So it will be difficult to say how quickly or smoothly a Flash .swf file will download and play.
    I'm guessing that Flash will be faster, but then I also think that going door to door and handing people a print of the photo would be faster than the jquery file that is running. You may want to look at the possible interference that you have on the current site between the various js and css files that are trying to display the content.

  • Why adobe flash player slows down all browser's performance?

    I rememeber longer ago there were problems with flash player plugin inside Mozilla's Firefox browser causing the plugin to crash: Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - Prevent it from happening again | Firefox Help
    After a recent update (17,0,0,134) it almost never crash but it slows down all browsers performance untill it finally launches next video. Almost the majority of all news sites use flash player
    to launch its' commercial. And it has several such boxes with commercials, for example: www.lrytas.lt
    And while I'm listening to music via youtube and on the other tab reading news on that site, when music clip ends and the browser starts to load other music videoclip,
    then the whole browser's work is paralysed - I can't write text, cannot scroll down, cannot click any link. All this is because the system is busy while in youtube next clip is loading.
    Mouse marker becomes into round rotating circle indicating loading procedure (firefox is not responding). And it takes time - up to 10-15 seconds to launch new video. Then sudenly all my actions is executed after such pause - my text is typed,
    my scroll down  and maybe link is pressed. All this slowing down procedure is annoying. It wastes a lot of time. I open task manager and I see that Firefox is taking 900.000 or 1300.000 K of memory. My OS is Windows 7.
    I close whole firefox.exe process and then it automatically close plugins. Then I open the browser again and it ask to automatically recover interrupted sites, I agree with it and then it opens everything again. And again
    it is working continuously for some time untill slows down browser again. With more tabs more problems. Moreover, view of a video sometimes comes too late too. Some images are lost as system is too late already because
    loading procedure took too much resources.
    Long long ago flash player was better. But today with a rise of new ****** substandart computers like iphones ipads you have to evolve the player in such a way that it has to play on everything, but its performance on different platforms
    is not the same.
    Who is guilty - my PC, Firefox or the plugin? Or maybe I am?
    In My Cold Opinion, users actions can't be ignored. The preference should be user's continuous control over a system load.

    You are right about high CPU usage. It was even when playing various computer games. I don't have problems anymore. But not because I disabled all addons. I did these things:
    In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter. The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise! to continue to the about:config page.
    Search for dom.ipc.plugins.flash.disable-protected-mode in the list of preferences.
    Double-click on the preference to toggle its value from false to true. (If the setting is already true it means that Flash Protected Mode is currently disabled.)
    Close Firefox.
    Restart Firefox.
    And since then I don't have that particular problem with overloading. I just disabled some of flash protected mode. How is that related with "overloading"? Strage. Hardware acceleration I've enabled again as without it whole text field in news sites is sometimes black.
    Thanks anyway Mr.

  • Configurator panels(even empty once) are slowing down Photoshop CS6 significantly

    After updating java this morning, in some cases Configurator Photoshop CS6 panels(even empty once) are slowing down Photoshop CS6 significantly.
    I noticed this when i got complaints about hotkeys not working when custom panels were open, the behavior was similar to holding down the hotkey for temp access to tools
    I found a workaround where i made the panels not persistent and therefor they load everytime i expand them (slowing photoshop).
    Is there a better workaround? and/or is this issue a known thing?

    I Had a problem with Configurator slowing down photoshop and what I found on another thread here worked for me. What I did was to exclude Photoshop from my virus software. Once i did that my issues went away.

  • Adobe slowed down after running fine on a Mac Book Pro Photoshop settings have been reset

    adobe slowed down after running fine on a Mac Book Pro.   Adobe Settings have been Reset

    Hello Gener7,
         I did try everything on the FAQ page (all steps) I also did them a few more times with "Adobe help" walking me through 2 more times.  I just don't get it, I have been on with Adobe on some days up to 5 hours at a time for over a month now.  I think it must be something with the installation disc but they say no, no, switchboard is just not working on my OS X 10.9.4.  I even took the computer into the apple store here and had them look it over, reinstall everything and they say it's the Adobe software.
         Thank you very much for your help, it's nice to know someone is reading this :-)  I do work around this by saving the files and reopening them in the next program I need but everyone in class is always waiting on me, (it sucks) and I just think it should work.  Hope you have a good day and I will put an update on here if this is ever figured out.
    Thanks one more time :-)
