AE CS5 render freeze

i am trying to render a 550 layer video (HDV) with after effects CS5.
The render queue estimated 25 hours to render the 3 minute video.
After 17 hours it froze up and gave the following message:
"after effects error: an output module stopped responding. the file may be damaged or corrupted. you may need to restart after effects."
I have a Two 2.93GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon “Westmere” (12 cores) machine with 64G of RAM with the following preferences in AECS5:
RAM for other apps = 3G
RAM available for AE = 61G
Installed CPUs = 24
CPUs reserved for other apps = 12
RAM allocated per background CPU = 3G
Actual CPUs that will be used = 12
Any ideas whats wrong here? Any information would be greatly appreciated. This is all new equipment.
Thank you
Noah

i am installing the AE and encoder updates.
i am increasing the RAM for other applications from 3G to 16G leaving 48G for AE.
is it ok to leave 12 CPUs for other apps and 12 CPUs actual?
Here are my current settings:
Here are my settings from the render queue after the failed attempt:
Does this help or would you need more information?
Thank you very much

Cs5 photoshop freezing

photoshop cs5 randomly freezes when opening a file. File does not open and cannot move palettes. Only rebooting cures it for a time then ...freeze again! Seems to be getting worse, happening more often. I have all the updates. Running on macbook pro 2.4 core i7 8gb ram OS 10.7.5. Basically I work away and then I try to open a file, the windows and pallets all open but the actual file doesn't. The layers are showing all relevant info but if I try to move the pallet...frozen! Have to reboot to get the file to open. There is no specific file, it just happens after about a day of use!
Any idea out there please?

The fact that the layers palette shows layers, but the document window doesn't show is a common symptom of bugs in your video card driver.
You can turn off GPU drawing in Photoshop's preferences, or update the video card driver from the GPU maker's website.

My copy of CS5 photoshop freezes when opening saved psds.

My copy of CS5 photoshop freezes when opening saved psds and currently I cant find my cd key for it (incase I need to reinstall) what should I do?

OS X 10.8.2
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
It was working 3 days ago fine and I have been using it since cs5 first came out. It will freeze on any psd now and Ive tried even with small psds under 20megabytes. I can create new psds but after saving them then attempting to reopen it will freeze.

My Illustrator CS5 keeps freezing when I try to render artwork using the 3D revolve effect.

I am designing my band's album cover and it features pill capsules. I can create the object with ease, but when I click on "3D Revolve" and then hit "preview" it says "Rendering Artwork" and instantly freezes at halfway. This is really starting to get on my nerves, seeing as how I want to get this done asap. I have tried the Alt+Ctrl+Shift trick that I have heard of, but that doesn't help either. Any ideas, guys?

We know nothing about your system or your settings. The commonly accepted assumption is that you simply run out of memory...

CS5.5 freezes on export

Hello
This question has obviosly been ask before, but I couldn't find an answer that helped me. I've had this problem for a while now, on CS4, CS5 and now on CS5.5. In the past I could barely live with it, but now I HAVE to finish a couple of projects for a customer.
When I export a project, the export freezes. It freezes at different points when exporting, sometimes at 2%, sometimes 40% and sometimes it finishes. All with the same project and with the same sequence. This problem also comes up with different projects. Some are SD, some 720p and some 1080p. The only thing I can find in common with these projects is that they all use various source materials, from various sources. From a crappy Sony DV camera (SD-quality), from a crappy Panasonic waterproof camera, Canon EOS 7D, Panasonic HDC-SD900 etc. Sometimes rendering works (rarely), but mostly not. Sometimes it helps to use Media Encoder, sometimes not. :) I can not seem to find any logic in this.
I've shutdown all unecessary processes (Sysinternals Process Explorer), defragged my hard drive, cleaned up all temp files (with ccleaner), checked that the filename is short enough and does not contain any odd characters etc, updated all my drivers & BIOS and tested the system stability with two different software. I don't have any other problems with my computer. I've also used Process Monitor to see what's going on in Premiere, but I can't find any
errors. None are in Windows logs either.
My main specs are Intel Core 2 Quad @ 3GHz, 8 gigs of memory, Nvidia GTX 280 graphics card and 2,5 TB of hard drive space alltogether. The drive that has the project on, has over 400GB of free space. I'm running Windows 7 x64.
I have 4 hard drives. 1 is used for source material, 1 for render files, and so on... This same problem existed before I split the files between different drives, so I don't think this has anything to do with that.
Any help is welcome!

If all drivers have been updated (note: the drivers that come with a new component are probably 6 - 12 mos. out of date), then it might be time to look at the system.
The only thing that comes to mind regarding hardware, is that some component isn't just compatible with Pr. But that's highly unlikely, I think.
That may be, but also may not be the case.
If you will list the specs. of the computer, people can review that, and make comments - just in case.
Good luck,
Hunt

"Adobe After Effects CS5 Render Issues"!

Hey guys
I currently just downloaded the free trial of "Adobe After Effects CS5" and I am wanting to render some video which I added some colour correction to.
When I put this in the render queue and press render is says "You mus have at lease on render item queued in order to render". Also it says on status "Needs output"
How come this is happening, do I need to buy the full vision.
Cheers
ash

You haven't specified the output location or name. After Effects is telling you to do that.
Follow the instructions here.
I strongly recommend beginning here if you're new to After Effects:

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 MAC Freezes

Hi there,
We all know that exporting files from Premier Pro into flv files (and some others takes some time). An excellent way to work around this is to build up a queue of items in the Adobe Media Encoder. Then, you can run the queue when you are going to leave the computer for any length of time, say, overnight.
I have Premier Pro CS5 and Media Encoder CS5 on a Mac and have just done all the various updates. Unfortunately, this does not solve my problem - if I have about 4 items in the queue, it works fine. However, if I have, say 8 items in the queue, AME will freeze whilst working on about the 4th item. This happens reasonably consistently and is very annoying - any suggestions how I can sort out this problem would be greatly appreciated.
I am using a Macbook Pro with the i7 processor and 4 Gbyte of RAM, 7200 disk speed.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you ExactImage, if that is your real name.... I was able to reset AME 5.5 by holding down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys whilst starting the program. Your help is appreciated.

Why does my Photoshop CS5 keep freezing?

Hi,
I'm running Adobe Photoshop CS5 on a Lenovo ThinkPad S1 (8 GB ram) in Windows 8.1.
I really hope that somebody can help me with regards to this freezing issue that I'm experiencing, I have been using Photoshop CS5 for nearly 12 months and it's been great, having said that I'm in the process of designing some banners for my website but when I open up a file, the program crashes and displays a dialog box, saying "Photoshop has stopped working" or "Adobe Photoshop CS5 has encountered a problem and needs to close, We are sorry for the inconvenience.".
What exactly do I have to do to resolve this issue?

You need to provide the crash details from your system's Event Viewer.

Photoshop CS5.5 freezes after 10 seconds of use every time

Hey everyone,
So weve been going nuts over this! Essentially I work for a big company, and we all have company laptops that we use to work on, which all have essentially the same programs installed on them. I have a Dell Latitude E6530, its running Windows 7, has a Corei7 vPro inside. Im running Adobe Production Premium CS5.5, and all the programs work perfectly fine (like I use Flash and Illustrator as well with no issues.) except for Photoshop.
When I boot up Photoshop (either version, 32 or 64), Ill be able to use it for about 10 seconds and then it will freeze. It will stay frozen until I actually go in and Task Manager the program off. It does not crash. This literally works with anything I do in Photoshop, I could literally have nothing open and go to the Preferences menu, and it will freeze there. I have tried looking up this problem online and I havent seen it as specified as this, I have seen it where people do something specific, like go to save, and it freezes AND crashes. Mine just freezes after ANYTHING I do after 10 seconds of use.
More about my set up. I have 3 monitors linked to my laptop. I initially thought maybe cutting it down to 2 or 1 might help, because it seemed to yesterday for a moment, but today I tried it and I had the same issue. I also have Symantic Encryption on my laptop, but so does everyone else and they can all run Photoshop completely fine. Weve updated the drivers and updated Photoshop and everything to the latest versions.
Does anyone know if Im just doing something very simple wrong that Im overlooking? I have seriously never had an issue this bad with Photoshop before. Let me know if you need any other information. Thanks for your help!

Yes, basically we have all the default fonts installed on our computers, but we use a program called Universal Type Client to get the fonts we need, and UTC grabs fonts from a server and temporarily makes them usable on our computer. But everyone has this software so I dont think that would have anything to do with it.
Could it possibly have something to do with my Video Drivers or Graphic Cards? Our tech guy mentioned it was strange that my computer had two different things (I believe he said I have a CORE i7 vPro and Nvidia NVS 5200M or something and that they may be competing?) or the amount of monitors Im using?

Photoshop CS5 unexplained freezing

Hi, so I've been using CS5 since it came out, and have had no problems whatsoever. But today I started my computer and when I went to open a file, CS5 totally froze. I thought perhaps it was just that file, but it froze on every file. I did some reading around and found that people had the same problem when they had a network printer installed, however, I don't have any printers installed, local or network. I also read that it can be caused by irregular fonts, however, my system only currently has the default Windows 7 fonts installed and nothing else. Just in case some program had installed new fonts, I cleaned my system of fonts and reinstalled all of the base Windows 7 fonts, but still had the problem.
It even freezes when I go into the preferences, or create a new file...
I have downloaded the latest patch as suggested by this forum, and also have the latest video card drivers for my machine. My system specs are as follows:
Windows 7 64bit
ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2
Intel Quad Core Q8200 2.33GHz
4GB DDR3 RAM
If anyone could give me any advice or help, that would be awesome, as I really need to use Photoshop for work.

when I did that preference clear it must have done it for all versions
I honestly don't think the problem is that something's wrong in the preference files. Resetting preferences doesn't clear them for all versions, just the one you're running.
And I don't think using preference files from one system is a good idea on another one anyway.
I'm sorry that this seems to have turned out to cause you more trouble - this is the first I've heard of clearing Photoshop preferences to defaults causing a lockup. But keep at it; something else more fundamental than a preferences setting must be wrong.
I hate to ask, but have you tried a reboot lately?

InDesign CS5.5 freezes when creating an idml file

Good Day All,
I have been using inDesign since it started and have never come across this problem. I have a file that I intially created in CS4, converted to CS5 and now CS5.5. I have been trying to convert it to an IDML file and EVERYTIME it hangs and freezes. It actually produces a file but non-useable. I have been struggling with this for the last two days.
I have;
removed cache recovery files
looked at all styles to ensure optical kerning wasn't on (seems like a common problem)
rebuilt the file and renamed it
replaced Adobe Garamond Pro with Garamond Premier Pro
tried it on another machine
Re-installed CS5.5
I am using Windows 7 Ultimate with CS5.5 the document is about 11 pages long and packaged and zipped is 34.0Mb
I am starting to pull my hair out here!! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!!
Curtis

Thanks for the reply, but it didn't work. I tried to move the jpg but as soon as I get to that page or click on it in the links panel, I automatically get an error code: 3 message and then the software just cascades from there. When I try to relink the graphic in the links panel nothing happens. I even get an error when trying to unembed the graphic. I've tried just about everything. I'm think that if maybe I could just delete that entire page without actually looking at the page, I may be able to recover the rest of the document. This has been one of the biggest headaches I've ever had to deal with as far as software goes and I deal with it every day (I'm a developer). Any other suggestions are more than welcome.
Oh, and I wasn't sure how to "open as a copy." I made a copy of the file and tried to open it but it reacted the same as the original. Perhaps I misunderstood your meaning?
Thanks again for your help.

I've gone ahead and done that and I still get the same results. I also moved things out of the Application Data folder one by one to test those files as well. A couple of times I could actually use Photoshop, but when I'd quit, it would stop working when I re-opened it. I checked the Windows Application Event viewer again and found this:
Faulting application photoshop.exe, version 12.1.0.0, faulting module ole32.dll, version 5.1.2600.6010, fault address 0x0004b104.
I'd like to clarify that I am by no means a Windows user, and that I am only running Photoshop on XP for work, so bear with me on that.
Thanks

PS CS5 Mac freezes on launch

My ps and ai freezes when i launch them both. The both show the default screens, but I can't click anything, and it simply says application not responding. i've tried reseting the preferences as recommended by some, no luck. I'm still rather new to using the mac, and I'm using OS 10.6.8.

That About panel is from a pre-release version of Photoshop CS5 (White Rabbit was the code-name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photoshop#Release_history). I don't believe it ever made it into the retail version of the software. Were you on the pre-release team?
Anyway, I've had similar problems on my iMac and MacBook Pro at home - instead of resetting the preferences on launch, Photoshop tries to create a new document on launch. Basically, it behaves as though I were holding down the Option key on my keyboard. Same kinds of problems with Illustrator as well. I thought it might be an OS X 10.6.5 issue, but it's not happening on my Mac Pro at work, so that's not likely.

InDesign CS5.5 freezing upon opening new document Lion 10.7.3?

Hi there,
When launching CS5.5 InDesign, I select 'New document'. After it is setup (1-2 seconds), it freezes and InDesign is non functional and you have to force quit.
My console log states:
CFURLCreateWithBytes was passed these invalid URLBytes: ‘/Applications/Adobe InDesign CS5.5/Adobe InDesign CS5.5.app/Contents/Frameworks’ (a file system path instead of an URL string). The URL created will not work with most file URL functions. CFURLCreateFromFileSystemRepresentation should be used instead.
The freeze occurs in the admin account and logged in domain user.
I have tried updating InDesign- nothing.
Uninstalling through Adobe uninstaller and reinstalling- nothing.
Not using plugins. We are using Extensis Universal Type Client but I wuit it and turned off the Core to see if that helps- nothing.
Ive repair permissions- nothing
Rebooted- nothing
I ended up upgrading to CS6 and had no problems. I would like to resolve this CS5.5 issue though. Any help?

I copied Mac OS: [Startup Disk]/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/SING/Mark II/Datastore to the desktop and deleted it from that directory. Did the same for the Mark II folder (Solution 2)
-Failing that the first time, I uninstall/reinstall and didnt bother to update, which is why you see the original InDesign. I'll try and update InDesign and move to 10.7.4 to see if that does anything. My
Mac OS: [Startup Disk]/Library/Applications Support/Adobe/SING/Mark II/Datastore does not currently have these folders because I took them out. Maybe I'll run the crash report again and post it. I have to wait for the designer to finish for the day. I'll update possibly tomorrow.
Thank you!
