Adobe project file is hogging shared storage bandwidth even when paused

I have a particular Premiere Pro project, that when opened, completely hogs my Terrablock storage bandwidth. I have inserted a screenshot of the storage servers disk activity even when that project file is paused. I have no other project files open or file transfers going. When I close this project, all disk activity goes to zero. This happens with no other projects and I can open it from other Mac towers with the same result.
Here is an image of the disk activity with that project open and paused.

Hi Mark,
Since my original post, I have noticed at least one other project hogging the storage bandwidth. Both projects are accessing completely different files and have a varying number of sequences.
The first project has about 45 sequences with none of them over about 90 minutes in length. The sequences are referencing .mp4s and are multicammed with two shots and occasionally contain another camera laid on top of the footage. The graphics were exported as Quicktime files and are only included in some of the sequences. This project also contains some title cards along with some png and psd files. The original stringout sequences of the footage were imported into the project using Media Browser.
The second project has 13 sequences and is referencing Quicktime Proxy footage including multicams containing two different shots. Most of the sequences contain only about 10 minutes of footage at the most. There are numerous title cards throughout this project and some of the shots are scaled in a bit. This is a duplicate of the original project (which is not hogging bandwidth) and somehow started causing bandwidth problems during the edit. No sequences were imported either.
I have also noticed that both of these projects somehow make Premiere Pro 2014 unable to close. A force quit is required for both to exit out of the program or open another project.

Adobe Bridge will not show items in subfolder even when this option is checked.

Adobe Bridge will not show items in subfolder even when this option is checked. It works on one computer but not the other-both working on the same system/ version of adobe cc.
How can I fix this bug?

Check to see what is different between setups. You may want to reset prefences in the balky computer.

Using a single source project in a multiuser shared storage environment

I wanted to get some opinions on wether or not some adobe experts feel there would be any negative issues or problems with this type of workflow.
having several cs5 machines all on a shared fibre san system. all machines access the same projects and source materials and have their own internal drive containing the media cache and database. Then creating a single standard project with a sequence and bins and a few normally used files in it.
Then every time someone wants to start a new project they would load this "workflow" project in and then save it out to a different drive with the new project name and start editing from there.
I am concerned that not creating a new project every time that there might be something going on in the background with metadata or media cache or something strange that could cause any problems with copying the same project every time?
thanks!

Thanks, I missed a little bit of clarification there. we do not use macs, all our machines are windows 7. (really wish the forums were seperated for mac and pc)
also we are not using a networked multiuser environment. there is one standard user account that is the same on every machine and always used.
the main issue is that each machine has fibrechannel access to the same 36TB raid array. It is divided up into 4 drive letters that all show up the same on each machine.
we have been working this way for quite awhile already. it works, any machine can load any project and work on it. I am just wondering if it could be causing any of the different strange random problems we see from time to time.
we are actually in the process of upgrading all our machines from cs4 to cs5.
on of the main issues we have had so far is cfa files. when you load a project on another machine it makes a new cfa file even though there was one there already and it incremements the file#. some dirs i will look and there will be 12 cfa files for one clip. we set all our machines to save next to original in prefs.
i think that issue might be resolved in cs5 though. we are still trying to get converted over.
will there ever be a time we could put the media cache and database on the same shared drive that all machines look at? or is it that way now in cs5? cs5.5?
we have file-level san sharing setup so all machines can read and write at the same time and read the same files without any conflicts.
thanks!

Oracle RAC with QFS shared storage going down when one disk fails

crs is not started in any of the nodes. I would like to know if anybody faced this kind of a problem when using QFS on diskgroup. When one disk is failed, the oracle is not supposed to go offline as the other disk is working, and also my qfs configuration is to mirror these two disks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many thanks in advance
Ushas Symon

I'm not sure why you say QFS is mirroring these disks!?!? Shared QFS has no inherent mirroring capability. It relies on the underlying volume manager (VM) or array to do that for it. If you need to mirror you storage, you do it at the VM level by creating a mirrored metadevice.

Final Cut Pro X Project file corrupt, how to restore for backup when not prompted by the program?

We have a project on an iMac 13 4gb RAM. We have discovered that it is not the event, but instead it is the project file that has become corrupted. When we try to poen FCPX it crashes, and reports that it has crashed. however, if we remove the project file and leave the event and then try to open FPCX, there is no problem. Looking online, usually FCPX asks if you want to open from the backup hat FCPX makes of yourproject. However, since we cannot opn FCPX with the project, then we cannot do this!
Just as a side note, this is a VCE media project that is due tomorrow... So any ideas are extremely welcome!!!

This is absolutely ridiculous: a Project is a work so complicated, there should be MULTIPLE backups (as in Logic or Photoshop) and an easy "Restore from Backup" File command! Instead, you must manually COPY from the backup folder in Finder -- OUTSIDE the program (and which contains only the most RECENT backup) into the parent project folder for the particular project. This capability is almost useless, since the only backup you have might be just 15 minutes old. Then you are up a creek.
Fortunately there is Time Machine, and you can use that to go back far enough to find the work you accidentally destroyed (or APPLE destroyed) and MANUALLY copy that over into the correct folder using Time Machine restore procedures.
I am finding, which led to rant, that when I delete an Audio Effect, the Whole Project is deleted when the audio track is selected. I'm doing something wrong, or here's more work for the programmers.
Really, this is unacceptable work. And thank goodness for my Time Machine. Program 101 in work like this is MULTIPLE backup capability and an easy restore command.
This needs to be addressed pronto. I'm holding my breath.

Adobe Presenter Always Passes Complete Status to LMS - Even When Quiz Failed

Issue:
I'm trying to publish an Adobe Presenter 7 course with a quiz using SCORM 1.2. I am publishing to our LMS (Cornerstone OnDemand). The course loads and plays fine. However it always reports a complete status to the LMS - even when I fail the quiz. I can even see the score (10 out of 50 points), but the status still shows as completed when it should be incomplete. The pass threshhold is set to 50 points...and yet any scoring allows a completed status.
Questions:
1. Has anyone used Presenter with CSOD?
2. Has anyone used Presenter with any SaaS LMS?
3. Which settings are required to acurately reports a status?
Thanks,
Dan

On top of Ravi's suggestion, what I would also recommend is checking the "scorm_support.js" file which can be found in your Scorm Support folder---this is automatically created when you publish your PPT deck.
Open the scorm_support.js file using Notepad, Notepad++....anything other than Word. From there, look at the top of the js file and you'll see a few variables which help to establish the SCORM setting of the training, but the one to look for looks like this:
var g_nAPI = 1;
if that variable is set to "0", then your published content will trigger SCORM 2004, not 1.2.
I've seen this come up on a few occasions, but ever since upgrading my version of Presenter to 7.0.5, this has gone away.
Additionally, there are a few other things you can do which might help in terms of deploying content in your LMS:
1. I would strongly recommend downloading the ADL SCORM 1.2.7 test suite. What this basically does is allow you to test the conformity of the SCORM package of a published Presenter course to determine if problems exist BEFORE you post your files to an LMS. You can download the test suite here:
http://www.adlnet.gov/adlnews/Documents/News%20Archive/TheSCORMConformanceTestSuiteVersion 127SelfTestisAvailableforDownload.aspx
2. If you have an LMS admin at your disposal, be sure to check with that person for deployment criteria when your content is installed on the LMS. If YOU are that person, then you have some homework to do--because you're going to need to know how to run installation procedures and content checks on your training as recommended by the LMS software.
I've developed and deployed Presenter content on a variety of LMSs, and some have nastier quirks than others...so one solution may not fit every environment, but you have to keep checking! I would also try reaching out to your LMS's tech support if possible.

Macbook just started sucking down bandwidth even when I'm not doing anythin

Ok so in the past 2 days my Macbook has started to suck down bandwidth. apparently i'm downloading even when my computer is just sitting there. it's about 1 mg per minute. My hard drive is partitioned with Windows XP on one side, but I rarely ever use the XP side.
Is it possible that I have a trojan or spyware or something on the Windows side running even if I'm not using that side?
I've removed Limewire and BitTorrent from my system but that hasn't stopped it. I've run Little Snitch and iAntiVirus, but neither found anything. I ran spybot S+D on the Windows side but it only found a few things that i deleted.
What could be causing this bandwidth suckage?

Adobe moves project file to User/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems folder when I export using Encoder

Ever since the Adobe Premiere CC 2014 update, Adobe has consistently been moving my project to the User/Library/Caches/TemporaryItems folder whenever I export using Encoder. It adds a "_1" each time I export so eventually I have to resave (and rename) a project entitled, "Project_1_1_1_1_1_1" to the folder it was originally saved in. HOWEVER, this only happens when I drag my sequence to a preset in Encoder. If I export from Premiere and then queue it to Encoder, there is no problem.
I contacted Adobe and the man who assisted me proceeded to delete all of my preferences and told me my problem was now fixed. However, it still happens.
Has anybody else had this problem?

Sorry, I should have made it clear that the exercise I asked you to try was just a troubleshooting step to confirm whether the project gets moved when it's originally saved to the default location. I didn't mean to suggest that you should limit yourself to saving your projects there.
The next step would be to save a new project to your preferred path, then export and check whether the project remains where you save it.
But now I'm confused as to what the actual problem is since you say that "a copy of my project does exist in the original folder." Are you saying that when you export to AME, Premiere somehow loads the temp project? If so, what exactly are you basing that conclusion on? Perhaps posting a pair of screenshots of Premiere's title bar before and after exporting would help. That will show the path of the project.

Project file in Google drive brings up error when saving

I have been trying to work with my files in google drive so I can easily work from home/the office but quite often when I hit save, I get the error message "After Effects warning: Could not rename the file 'xxxxx\AEtemp-132584-projectname.aep' to 'projectname.aep'. Has anyone had any luck doing this?

I don't know the cause but some people have been able to get round it by by selecting File>Save As and saving it as a new project with a slightly different name.

Adobe Flash Player won't install into Firefox, even when using the offline installer, and downloading it through Firefox

Ever since the latest update of the Adobe Flash Player, I think it came out this week.
I can't seem to get it to work with Firefox, I have downloaded the installer, it installs successfully, then I check in Firefox to see if it works. It says that I need to install it?!?! I have tried the offline installer of the Adobe Flash Player, I also tried installing it through Firefox (when you click "Install missing plugins"). That just fails instantly.
I posted on the Adobe Forums, but no luck.
I am getting frustrated with this! I have never had problems with installing the Flash Player, and I didn't install this version any different from the previous versions. Flash Player was working well until the latest update of Flash Player was released.
If I go to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash, it shows all the Flash Player files, but it's not showing up in the Firefox addon manager, and not working on YouTube, or any other Flash Player sections of sites.
I installed the 64-bit version, because I have a 64-bit Windows.
It works on IE, but not on Firefox.
It seems like it installs fine, but then it doesn't looks like it "installs" it into Firefox. Or whatever...
Also, I have tried uninstalling it with the Adobe 64-bit Uninstaller, restarting my PC after uninstalling, then install the 64-bit Flash Player for Firefox... doesn't work.
I have done EVERYTHING I can do to try and get it to work, no luck...
Please, any help with be appreciated!

Where can I find direct downloads of Flash Player 11 for Windows or Macintosh?

Get error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading" even when attaching 1 file

I attached multiples .pdf files to an email. Tried to attach the next file before the previous 1 finished attaching. Got error message "this "**" file cannot be attached until the files already attached are finished uploading". Was never able to attach that 1 file to the email that I received the error message for; was able to attach subsequent files to that same email & send it. Now, I often get the same error message, even if I only attach 1 file & esp. when attaching .ai or .jpeg files. What can I do to fix this problem?

It looks like nobody has an answer for this despite of the 80 something views!
And here i thought Adobe admin would be monitoring the forum, but surprisingly, they don't even have the answer for this!!!

MS Project Very Slow and Project Files Large when Using Shared Resource Pool

Hello,
We are using MS Project 2010 Professional in our organization and using a shared resource pool so we can easily identify resource conflicts. When we started this process many months ago the resource pool worked great. Now that we have nearly
all of our projects (~40) using the resource pool, it has become essentially unusable. Each project file that is sharing the resource pool is 12 MB or greater in file size, and most of the project files contain less than 100 lines. Saving any file
takes ~4 minutes. As a result, many of the resource managers and project managers are starting to avoid using MS Project which is undermining our original intent.
Any thoughts on what we could try to regain the usability, make the file sizes smaller, improve save times, etc.? Will MS Project Server fix all of these issues?
Thanks,
Josh

If any of your PMs renamed, moved or over-wrote their project file whilst linked to the Resource Pool or a master, then the file may well have corrupted itself or the pool or both. With 40 files, you can guarantee one or more PMs will do one of the above,
so file corruption is a when, not if (2days or 2 years or more).
For 40 projects Project Server or any solution that copies data to a database so the resource data can be consolidated is needed. Project Server is not a simple application, it's a full server and requires proper training and processes to add value. And
it needs configuring by someone who knows what they're doing!
In the mean time try unattaching all project files from the pool, then create a new blank pool and re-attach.You will also need to File, Save as to repair each project file if needed. For bad corruption save as to a .xml format then re-import to a blank
project.
Or, create a new master each time by inserting all projects into a new blank project, but deselecting the Link option. All tasks are then copied and the resource data consolidated. Record a macro to make creating this very quick and easy (provided your network
isn't too slow).

RoboHelp HTML 9 Webhelp Layouts include all (unnecessary) project files

I am currently using RoboHelp HTML 9 on Windows 7 Pro. I have administrative rights on the computer.
My current project contains over 30 different webhelp layouts with 30 different TOCs that are all based on the different functions in a web-based application for a client. The project also includes over 30 different print layouts based on the same TOCs. I use build conditions to specify what I want to appear in the webhelp and print layouts. My project is organized into basically three main folders that represent Tasks, References and Concepts (as close to DITA as I can get this client). Each of these main folders has a subfolder named after a function and it contains the topics and screen captures that relate to that specific function task, function reference or function concept.
I created each webhelp layout in the SSL pod based on the specific TOC that was created for the function. In the WebHelp settings, I specified the TOC in the Content section along with enabling the "exclude unreferenced topics from output" and "exclude unreferenced baggage files from the output" options. In the Navigation section, I selected the appropriate skin that I customized along with enabling Contents and Search options with adding the About box.
With these settings my problem is that ever single webhelp layout includes all of the files in the three main folders, even when they are not referenced in the TOC. This has caused my outputs to explode in size because of the unnecessary folders filled with files (topics and graphics). How can I compile the webhelp layouts so they only output the files referenced in the TOCs and not every single file in the the three main project folders?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated because my client is not local and I have to send these files to them over the internet.
Thanks in Advance!

"Exclude unreferenced topics from output" starts by excluding topics that are not in the TOC etc. However if a topic in the TOC has a link to a topic that is not in the TOC, the linked topic will also be included to avoid a broken link. It also daisy chains so that if the second topic has further links, that too gets included.
The idea behind this option was that people wanted TOC only outputs but Adobe chose to implement it in this way. I can see why but I take the view that if that results in broken links, that is the author's responsibility. If you agree, then please follow this link and ask for true TOC based authoring.
http://www.Adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=38
Meantime you will, as Amebr points out, need to create build tags and expressions. There is a page on my site that covers that.

Question About Project File Location

I was wondering how important is the project file location when it comes to performance?
Currently, I store all of my adobe project files(AE, PRP, ENC) on my SSD along with my OS and applications.
Btw, I am familiar with the guidelines for disk usage, but cant seem to find anything that has covered this specific question.

My C:\ is an SSD, and that is OS and programs only. My D:\ is a fast WD 500 GB Raptor, and is reserved for Page file, My Documents. digital photos, and Video Projects. E:\ and F:\ are both WD RE4 RAID0s, so all my drives are fast.
I keep files which are frequently re-written, or replaced, off my SSD to avoid any risk of degradation due to repeated re-writing to the memory.
