Adobe Premiere CS 5.5 freezes and lags on a 1hour 45 minute video.

I'm running a quad core 2.7 GHz iMac with 32 gigs of RAM 1 GB graphics card and 500 GB of free space on the 7200 RPM hard drive.
Whenever I load a 1 hour and 45 min. video (it's videogame play) I go to sync it with my audio from external audio source and premier just freaks out... it locks up will let me scroll through timeline nothing and then after about 5 or 7 min. to unfreeze allow me to play it but if I make any adjustment to the timeline again the lockup and beach ball of death and activity monitor says Premier not responding.
Now tried shrinking the video down instead of having the whole 1 hour 45 min. in the timeline pulling it down to 20 min. but still the same thing and all the time that I'm working with this project if I had something to the preview window it doesn't load for a while.
I don't really know what to do it's super annoying I reformatted my Mac open that would help does premiere just not like a.k.a. is a piece of crap when it comes to long video clips it really does blow.
One last thing it seems as soon as I add a super long one hour plus video to it from your project that project a.k.a. all the clips and subsequences seem to also get laggy but maybe I'm just tripping on that point.
Anyway thank you for helping if you can.

    Hi Dmirtiyter, I suspect that you have a windows computer and seems you have a 32 bit system and that's the only reason you are not getting a download option for Premiere Pro as its a 64 bit Program.

  • Phone 5 is freezing and lagging

    My iphone 5 keeps freezing and lagging. It doesn't alert me when I get text messages and when I open my phone I will have 15 texts messages. My phone also feezes when I press to open my text messages or even try and open my phone. Can anyone help me?

    Press home button twice quickly, in new row of icons at bottom, press and hold one until red minus sign appears, delete them all. Then Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the slide to power off, let iPhone restart itself.

  • Adobe Premiere Keeps on Crashing/Freezing

    When I'm editing in Adobe Premiere using:
    iMac, 27-inch, late 2013
    OS 10.8.5
    3.5Ghz Intel i7
    8 GB 1600 MHZ DDR3
    NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 780M 4096MB
    I encounter the following issues:
    I open up Premiere, Render my project - it freezes and crashes.  A hard reboot is the only solution.
    I will also encounter the spinning wheel of death/computer freezes while I'm editing a project.
    I barely have anything open.
    What can be the cause of this?  It's delaying my workload and causing huge issues with distribution.
    Thank You.

    Uninstall Reader 9.4 and try the latest Adobe Reader X (10.0).
    If you still have problems, please state your operating system and version.

  • Adobe premiere cs6 suddenly EXTREMELY slow and CPU intensive

    Hi everyone,
    I'm editing candon 5d mk III footage (h.264 files) on my late 2011 MacBook pro. Here are the specs..
    240 gig SanDisk SSD harddrive (190 gigs free)
    500 Gig (250 gigs free)
    8 gigs ram
    2.4 ghz i5 processor
    Intel HD graphics 3000 graphics card
    I'm a wedding videographer and I am currently closing my last edits of the season. I have edited 20+ 45 minute videos on Adobe Premiere CS6 and have had absolutely no issues at all. I enjoy working on premiere so much that I've been trying to get my videographer friends to give a shot and simplify their workflows.
    Upon starting my second to last edit (same process as the other 18 videos I've done this season, organizing the footage within it's respective folder, loading it into premiere with the couples' choice in music and opening 4-5 new sequences based on the events of the day) I noticed that I was having a lot of trouble importing folders into my media bin. I had to import all of the footage unorganized because loading the folders "Preperation, Ceremony, Photos, Reception" with the footage within them would cause premiere to freeze and become unrepsonsive. So, finding no solution I added all the footage in no particular fashion. Just one large unorganized group. Then, while organizing the files into bins, I noticed even the smallest move would take several minutes to complete. Because I was working directly off of my hard drive I figured these kinds of delays would eventually catch up to me, so I moved all of my files to my HDD and decided to work on them there. The project itself continued to be extremely slow and started crashing regularly (especially when applying audio effects). After a few hours, I stopped being able to play 1080p video at all. It would jam and stutter so often it become unuseable. 720p video was the next to go along with my ability to render anything in less than 30 minutes - 1 hour. At last attempt to use premiere I was getting an "Unable to compile movie - Unknown Error" message when trying to render alpha channel things (lower third titles and things of the nature), my ability to change the resolution of the playback had disappeared (Going from full, 1/2 and 1/4 did nothing, it just remained at full quality) and finally doing anything in premiere caused it to use 300% of my CPU (based off of my Activity Monitors metering).
    Does anybody have any clue as to what could be happening to my machine/program? I have a yearly subscription to adobe's creative cloud service if that helps. Oh and I've tried moving my media cache's from my HDD to my SDD with little or no results. Don't know if that helps.
    Thank you to anyone who helps in advance. What I believe to be clean installs aren't doing anything so I'm hoping somebody can give me a hand.

    Sounds to me like specific media is dragging the Mac to a halt. (300%, really Apple? Isn't that like saying that my car can go up to 90mph, but last night I drove it at 300% speed, 270mph)
    Some things to trouble shoot:
    Do you have any assets in the project that are loaded directly from strange devices, like a SD card or CD audio? Any dynamic link media that may be problematic?
    Is there anything that makes this footage different than footage from successful projects?
    Can you work successfully with an old project?
    Can you successfully start a new project using different or less media?
    Is the 500 GB drive internal or external?
    One time I was sent out at from work to troubleshoot a system that would freeze up like yours. The guy was an idiot and rude client that demanded that someone from our facility help him fix his own project. He said that he had been troubleshooting for a day, and then had convinced his organization's IT guy that he needed a way over spec new pc to run Premiere.
    His system was fine. Within 3 minutes of checking media in his project, I saw that top track of the problem sequence had a video clip that was set to a speed of .01%, and he had the clip stretched for 24hours in the sequence. His project was supposed to be a 2 minute PSA. All his issues went away after removing the idiotic Day Long slow motion clip. He complained to my boss because I had laughed at him.
    I relate that story to illustrate that it could be a weird thing with you media or fx, just as well as a hardware or software issue.
    Good Luck

  • Adobe Premiere Elements 12 will launch and then vanish

    Okay so just bought Adobe Premiere Elements 12. Loaded it up and went to run it. First time I ran it I get the Adobe Premiere Elements 12 Launch pad, you know where you select the Organizer or the video editor. I select video editor, it gives me a sub menu asking if I'm opening an existing Project or a new project. I select new project. the Video editor opens and I get a pop up windows stating "Please Log-in with an Admin account to access Adobe premiere Elements." I hit 'ok' and the video editor promptly vanishes leaving me at the launch pad which I close. I go to the short cut, right click on it and select "run as administrator." and I re-launch the program. Back to launch pad, select video editor, select new project. The video editor loads and appears to be working for about 3 seconds and then it vanishes. No error window, no crash report nothing. Just 'pop' it's gone.
    Any idea what I can do about this? I'd really like to use the software I just bought.
    Compute specs:
    OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
    -updated system drives yesterday
    Prossessor: AMD Phenom 2 X6
    8Gb ram
    NVidia GeForce GTX 460 4GB card
    -Drivers updated yesterday
    Primary drive is a solid state 128gb
    2 secondary SATA drives at 1TB each
    Premiere Elements is loaded on the 1st of the 2 secondary drives.

    Please confirm...
    a. Are you running the program from a User Account with Administrative Privileges as well as the Run As Administrator from the right click of the program's desktop icon?
    - I am running it from an admin level account.
    b. Did you install the program to the default drive C location...you mention "Premiere Elements is loaded on the 1st of the 2 secondary drives", but is it the drive designated C?
    - No. all I have on my primary drive (C:\) is windows, drivers and scratch disk. All my programs outside of windows are loaded on the drive designated J:\
    c. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements?
    - I did not before, but I just updated it before responding here. No effect.
    d. Does your computer use just that NVIDIA video card/graphics care? Is there a second card displayed in Device Manager/Display Adapters?
    - the NVIDA GeForce GTX 460 is my only video adapter.
    e. Does the problem exist with and without antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
    - Yes. I shut off Kaspersky and tried running the program via the launch pad. no change.
    You say that the crashes occur when you select Video and new project. What happens if you select Organizer instead? Still crash?
    - If I go into Organizer the system seems to run fine. I loaded Organizer about 20 minutes ago and it's still up and running just fine. But in that same time span I've tried to launch premier elements several times. It still crashes after a few seconds.
    New data though. Can't tell if it's from Premier, or something else. a couple minutes after the latest attempt to run Premiere Elements I found a new window with the header "CAHeadless Debug Event". The Window reads:
    CAHeadless has encounter an error.
    [..\..\Src\Sequence\Sequence.cpp-2233]
    and then I have a button that reads "Continue".

  • Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, Toshiba Qosmio and GoPro issues...

    Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and GOPRO hero 3 mp4 videos. I am getting choppy play back and choppy scrubbing. My current setup is a Toshiba Qosmio x875-Q7390 Laptop. The laptop has an i7 processor, 16 gigs of ram, Nivida GTX670M video card with CUDA and 3 gigs of deticated ram, 2- 1TB HD's at 5,400 rpm and 4 3.0 USB ports. For  setting up my scatch discs I use the C drive for software, the D drive for video and an external USB 3.0 device for playback. I did notice that Adobe doent have the drivers for my video card (so using the full potential of my card is not gonna happen), and my hard drives may be on the slow side, but play back is way slow and choppy just like on my older Toshiba i5 sattelite. If I replace my drives with 7200 rpm's will this help? Oh I forgot to mention that my C drive is a hybrid so a few gigs are solidstate.

    You still want to apply the hack in order for Premiere Pro to use your card for GPU acceleration.
    With Premiere Pro closed, delete the following file. Then reopen Premiere Pro and in Project Settings, ensure that you have it set for CUDA.

  • Latest Premiere Pro CC 2014 Freezing and crashing. Why?

    While editing a project everything runs smooth for a while, but then PPCC will freeze, become sluggish and or will crash from time to time. I have a new MacPro (Late 2013) 3.5 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon E5, 64 GB ram, with duel AMD FirePro D700 graphics cards. I purchased my machine a few months ago. in Addition I'm editing off of a Thunderbolt 2 raid SSD drive. SO I don't know why my projects are freezing and crashing. This happens weather I'm editing DSLR 1080 footage Or RED 6K Footage. My system has more than enough power to handle my project, but premiere works for awhile then doesn't play nice. Why? PPCC 2014 by far has the best tools for editors in my opinion but if its not as stable a FCPX then why should we continue to use it. in addition, yes I have done a complete clean install so there should not be any conflicts.Running OS X 10.10.1

    My Premiere Pro CC 2014 also freezes when I try to export. I do not get any error messages, it just freezes and I have to restart my computer. The only way I can render is to Queue to Media Encoder CC 2014.
    I have tried posting my problem many times but this Community Forums will not accept my post and keeps telling me to 'try again later .m4'.

  • Adobe Premiere CS5 Crashes at startup and cannot update

    My Premiere pro CS5 keeps crashing at startup and I tried to update it but it says “inapplicable” and won’t allow update....
    I tried uninstalling as well but still doesnt work....

    For the first issue, try this:
    Go to the following locations
    Location 1: When in Finder, click on Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe
    Location 2: Go > Go to Folder > ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe
    Location 3: Documents > Adobe
    In all the locations, rename the 'Adobe' folders to 'OldAdobe'
    Launch Premiere, accept the License Agreement and see if it works.
    Note: You will lose your customized workspaces and keyboard shortcuts.
    For the second issue, try this:
    If you succeed to launch Premiere Pro, Go to Help > Updates and try to update from there. If you are not able to launch Premiere Pro and have any other CS5 app such as After Effects, open that and go to Help > Updates and see if you are able to update from there.
    Thanks,
    Rameez

  • I can't seem to be able to open Adobe Premiere Pro after downloading it and saying it's in use.

    I've downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro trial twice to see if the second time would work since the first didn't seem to. When I downloaded it twice, it says I was downloading the Adobe Premiere Pro family package and after downloading it, it said that the program was ready for use. I went to my start menu and search the program and all I got was the adobe premiere pro cs6 files and the picture of the purple cd and the set up and etc. Can someone please help me?
    PS: I had downloaded it from the adobe website not from adobe creative cloud.

    It won't even let me uninstall it. it says that my uninstallation encountered errors and when i click on the error summary idk what it means

  • Adobe premiere Pro Crashing!! AND Crashing

    Hi ,
    I have upgraded my Adobe Premiere Pro to latest available version 8.2 but still i am stuck with same crashing issue.
    Application just quits randomly. editors are loosing their edit. Any one is having same issue?
    below is the system config
    Dell 7910 workstation
    Dual Intel Xeon Processor E5-2650 v3 (10C, 2.3GHz, Turbo, HT, 25M, 105W)
    32G 2133MHz DDR4 (4x8GB) RDIMM ECC
    Nvidia Quadro K5200 8GB (2 DP, 2 DL-DVI-I) (2 DP to SL-DVI adapter)

    When you purchased the Dell, did you wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows from scratch?  If not, I do recommend it.  Starting with a clean system often fixes this type of abnormal behavior.

  • Thunderbird freezes and lags constantly

    I have been using Firefox for years and loved it above any other email client - until it started lagging a few months back. I don't know what caused it, it just started happening one day and never stopped after several updates and a few un-installs, it always returns.
    The problem is pretty simple, every few minutes, at random periods of time (can be 10 seconds, can be 5 minutes) the program freezes and doesn't allow me to do anything at all. Sometimes, especially if I insist and keep clicking or typing, the screen whitens out a bit and I get a "non responding" message next to the program name. This lag can last anywhere between 10 seconds and 1-2 minutes.
    I use it with Gmail and I should tell you that I have 100s of folders, but my inbox is clean. I never go over 100 emails in it at right now I have 4. I can't avoid the use of so many folders because of my work dynamic, I need to assign a new folder to every new client and several sub-folders for every provider associated with such client (I'm a travel agent).
    I used to have Lightning installed but I removed it thinking it might be the cause of the problem - it wasn't.
    I hope I can find a solution to it, I don't want to switch back to Outlook :(
    Thanks!

    If all of the above does not help, try what I did.
    Windows explorer to C:\USERS
    RIGHT click on your account and choose "Properties"
    In the General tab, select the Advanced button
    Uncheck the box "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties"
    Select OK, and then select APPLY
    When asked, allow this to apply this to all sub-folders. Click OK to close this window.
    THIS WILL STOP THE HIDDEN APPS FOLDER FROM BEING INDEXED, WHICH WILL STOP WINDOWS FROM INDEXING YOUR EMAILS (which is the cause of the problem).
    Next, go into your account folder and select just the folders you want indexed.
    Repeat the above process of those folders (this time choosing to index the the folder and its sub-folders).
    Ta da. Worked like a charm for me.
