AE freezes while Opening Project

Been working on a project these past two days. Nothing over the top complicated in it. Animating text/solids with an audio bed.
However this morning, while loading up the project, it froze at 33%. Had to Force Quit, try again. Nothing. I've actually taken the project file, brought it to another computer, which opened fine, then saved it as a new project, then brought it back to my computer which only let it work for about another hour - until giving me another freeze while working in the project.
I tried resetting my preferences, Purged the memory, brought to the other computer to transfer into a new file again. No go. Keeps freezing at 33%. Please Help

What Michael said - more info. Could be anything from some CoDec in your footage that differs across systems to the usual graphics card and driver issues to something being bad with your MediaCache....

Why does reader freeze while opening some pdf files and others open instantaneously?

I use pdf files created from CamScanner and shared from DropBox. In DropBox, many times (over 50%) while opening the PDF the process freezes and the error message is Adobe Reader is not responding. If you close the program, and re-open the file, it opens fine. I have saved these files to my computer and the same issue occurs. The files are 100-500kb, so I do not think size is the issue. I have reinstalled Reader (11.1.10) and there is no improvement.

This appears to have reduced the time to load a document. Thanks Jimb From: Anubha Goel <[email protected]>

Mac Apps freeze while opening

Hi,
My Mac Applications are freezing while opening. Mail, Safari, Calculator, Textedit, Preview, and Mac Help Viewer all freeze up either upon opening or as soon as I try to interact with them. Other apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, MSN Messenger, IE, and Word work just fine.
I have used Disk Warrior to reapair the HD and I have used Disk Utility to reapair permissions. I don't know what else to try.
Any suggestions?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Try things in Dr.Smokes Apps. Fail to Launch thread.

Why does my entire computer freeze while opening or using After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5?

Just built a computer to meet all requirements for Adobe, Autodesk 3ds Max, and UDK, for school.
Specs;
Motherboard - ASRock X79 Extreme 4-M, Socket 2011 - Micro ATX - 4 DDR3 1600/1333/1066/800 - 3 PCI-E 3.0 x 16 - 7.1 CH HD Audio - PCIE GLAN - 3 SATA3 - eSATA3 - 4 SATA2 - 4 USB 3.0 - 10 USB 2.0
Processor - Intel Core i7 Processor - i7-3820 LGA 2011
Processor fan - Intel Thermal Solution RTS2011 AC
RAM - Ballistix by Crucial - 2x 8GB Tactical PC3 - 12800 CL8 1.5 VW/XMP = 16GB RAM
SSD - Crucial M4 SSD 128GB - Comptatibility with 6Gb/s & backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB - 7200 RPM up to 32mb cache
Power Supply - Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 700W
Graphics Card - EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce GTX480 - DirectX11 - CUDA - OpenCL Support - PhysX Technology - OpenGL 4.1 (so says the box it came in; but if I'm not mistaken I think the command prompt had shown OpenGL 3 or 3.2)
Disc Driver - LG DVD/CD RW... It is an OEM, Windows claims it is updated.
I use an external component - USB Microsoft Wireless Mouse & Keyboard 2000.
I have, as far as software goes...
Windows 7 64-bit SP1
Adobe Creative Suite 5, student version or what have you.
- I do have several plugins installed as well for After Effects only.
Autodesk 3ds Max 2012
-I have several maxscripts as well as a couple plugins for 3ds Max.

As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Captivate 5.5 freezing when opening Project Skin Editor Settings

When I open Project > Skin Editor > Setting to adjust the font, my Captivate freezes completely. My only option is to ctrl+alt+delete to end the session and restart. I am using Captivate 5.5 and windows 7. On the the fourth attempt, i received the fatal error message of "A fatal error has occurred and the application is being terminated...". Has anyone experienced this or have any resolution?

I followed the path to the Adobe Captivate 5.5 folder and i do not see a preferences folder to delete....Any advice?

XCode freezes when opening project after installing iPhone SDK 3.2 beta

I have problem opening up existing XCode projects, and creating new XCode projects.
If I open an existing XCode project, no window appears and XCode becomes non-responsive.
If I create a new XCode project, it shows me the window to create new project, but after entering the project name, XCode becomes non-responsive.
I've played around with the settings and found out that if I go to
Preferences>Code Sense and untick the Indexing>'Enable for all projects'
The problem is solved. But with that turn, I no longer have auto-completion.
I have tried a few methods to solve this but none was working
1) I thought the problem was due to documentation. In Preferences>Documentation, I see "Mac OS X 10.6 Core Library" and "iPhone OS 3.2 Library" showing "Getting..." all the time. I compared the file sizes of the docsets to my laptop (no problem with XCode) and there's a big difference in file size. So I copied these files from my laptop to the Mac with problem. This does not solve the problem.
2) Clear cache .
3) Disable indexing. Quit XCode. Start XCode and enable indexing. Then quit XCode and start project.
4) Uninstall XCode completely with sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools --mode=all , and then reinstall iphonesdk_3.0__snow_leopard_final. I verifed that I was able to open projects normally. Then I installed iphonesdk_3.1_with_xcode_3.2_final__snow_leopard_10a432, followed by
iphonesdk_3.2_beta_with_xcode3.2.2. Problem comes back
5) I tried to clear the files below but it does not help
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Xcode.plist
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Xcode
~/Library/Caches/xcodebuild
~/Library/Application Support/Developer/Shared/Xcode/
Anyone able to point me to a solution? Thanks

Hello honcheng & welcome to discussions.
I'd recommend doing a custom install during the iPhone OS 3.2 beta installation instead, and putting it into a separate location from the release tools...
I would also suggest participating in the beta forums as well.

AE CS6 freezes while opening a project file

Hi, I have been working on a project for past three days and this morning when I try to open the project, AE CS6 freezes at 66percent. And my MAC stops responding too. I need to force shut AE to get back in order.
This is what I have already tried:
- Renaming the project file. No go
- Opening the project in another installation of AE. No go
- Importing the file in another new project. No go
Note that the last work I did in that project was using the dynamic link between AE and premier pro. I imported a premier pro sequence into AE, put it onto an AE composition and color corrected some footage. Then I imported the AE composition into PP and exported the final movie. This morning when I try to open the AE project where I imported the PP sequence, I am unable to do so.
Could this be that the dynamic link has a bug that caused a memory issues?
Please help me troubleshoot !!!
Thanks

Flush the caches from the prefs. And by all means learn how to use versioning, incremental saving and backups...

Project freezing while opening

My PPro CS5 has suddenly started freezing during the opening process of loading the media assets. Nothing has been changed and everything was working fine. I have added nothing new that would cause a codec blip or such, just png's. Any suggestions on why this might occur and how I can get it to reopen?

This is a known bug and there is a fix. Unfortunately know one will say when!!!!
The fix is to delete your preview files and re-save. If you can't open a project to do this you will have to open the last Auto-Save project and try again.

Freezing when opening project in CS5.5 Windows 7

I've read where uses have been hainvg issue loading projects with linked objects like Premiere sequences. I'm having such an issue where I can load 16% of the project and then Encore freezes and crashes. I've deleted all the preferences and media cache files as described in one of the articles. I've also loaded the project in Premiere before opening Encore to no avail.
I had changed the media cache from my main OS drive to my drive with the most stoage. Once that occured I have yet to be able to open this project. I need it opened desperately so I can finish this for my client.
I'm running Windows 7 64bit CS5.5 and yes I am the administrator of the machine. This is the only thing holding me up as my project is done and is ready to be burned.
Thank you

Try trashing your preferences in the default account. I don't know if you got to item 12 in that list, so here it is:
12. Re-create the Adobe Encore Preferences files.
Some problems may be caused by a damaged Preferences file.
To automatically re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences file:
Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys while choosing Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number>. Release the keys after several seconds. The application will not start at this point, but the preferences file will be deleted.
Choose Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number> again to start the application. A new preferences file is created when the application starts.
Note: This procedure will not re-create the preferences for workspaces, zoom levels, or default library items. To do so, manually re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences files.
To manually re-create the Adobe Encore <version number> preferences files:
Delete the following folder:
On Windows Vista: C:\Users\ [user name] \AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Encore\<version number>.
Choose Start > Programs > Adobe Encore <version number> to start the application. New preferences files are created when the application starts.

Premiere Pro CC freezes after opening project. "Media Pending"

So I'm editing a music video I filmed with a Canon 60D, 1080p 23.976 fps, and i was chopping and layering clips that had not yet been rendered for the colour correction done on them, which was a slow process. (I have a mid 2010 mac book pro with an upgrade to SSD's and 8GB of ram, 2.4GHz Intel Core i5, and NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 256MB, running os 10.9.2).
ANYWAY, I had to save and close it without rendering it yet and whenever I try and open it again, it opens the project, but then freezes and I get the spinning beachball of doom. I can see the sequence and all the edits that I had done, but the program window is yellow and says "Media Pending". I have to force quit to get out of it because it always says Premiere Pro CC is not responding. This does NOT happen with any of my other projects. This particular project is not crazy huge, but it's larger than my other projects which are few and it's certainly enough to make my macbook cry. I will be very grateful for any help.

PP CC crashes quite often.
Sorry to hear that. Please check out this doc: Premiere Pro CC, CC 2014, or 2014.1 freezing on startup or crashing while working (Mac OS X 10.9, and later)
You also might try the following:
Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
Update any GPU drivers
Trash preferences
Delete media cache
Delete preview files
Remove plug-ins
If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
Repair permissions
In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
Disconnect any third party hardware
If you have a CUDA GPU, ensure that the Mercury Playback Engine is set to CUDA, not OpenCL
Disable App Nap
Reboot
Report back if anything here worked for you.

FCP7.03 hangs/freezes while loading project

I have a Final Cut project file for this feature film I've been working on forever. The project has stopped opening. FCP freezes immediately after the 'offline files' dialogue box. (doesn't matter whether I reconnect media or not.) It thinks for a second, then spinning wheel of death for 5 minutes, then it crashes. I get a KGCore error, which FCS Maintenance interprets as 'out of memory.' Obviously this error isn't the cause, but a symptom.
I just got my computer back from the shop, with leopard 10.5.x. After I had installed all my applications / plugins, something happened, where from that point on I'd get the crash I just described. I troubleshot all the applications, plugins, etc. Uninstalled everything and reinstalled it one at a time. I was able to open the project once after a fresh FCP install, then when I tried to open the same project again seconds later, it froze again with the same problem. Then the same crash every time. I updated FCS, and the first time I tried to open the project it worked fine. Seconds later when I tried to replicate the result, I got the exact same crash. From that point on, the project crashed every time. I ran MemTest and it came out good. Also, last week I had my harddrive, superdrive, battery and screen replaced, and everything else passed the Apple Tech's inspection, so I am confident this is not a hardware issue.
So I reformatted the computer -> 10.6.4. I reinstalled FCS3 and CS4 and Magic Bullet looks for FCP & AE. Everything worked perfectly for 3 days. Then last night I installed Automatic Duck Free XML Exporter [FCP] and this afternoon I installed Automatic Duck Pro Import AE [AE]. Now I suddenly I can't open the FCP project again. Exact same error. Freezes immediately after the offline files dialogue box every time. I am able to open other FCP projects though.
Today I tried uninstalling the Free XML exporter, uninstalling Pro Import AE, trashing my preferences, repairing disc permissions, setting my scratch discs to external drives, and I uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 and FCS3 without any plugins. After the fresh install, Final Cut opened the project perfectly the first time, and then gave me exact same crash every subsequent time I opened the project.
I talked to tech support at automatic duck and the guy said the only file that could possibly affect FCP is the xml exporter bundle in final cut pro plugins. It made sense to me that that was the problem, but at this point I've not only uninstalled that plugin to no avail, but I've uninstalled and reinstalled CS4 and FCS3 too, so I'm thinking its something bigger than that.
I can't wrap my head around whats going on. I'd be more than happy to reformat the machine again as long as I know it will work afterwards. I just can't spend days working on this only to have it implode right afterwards.

I have not tried exporting xmls for each sequence. Its a good last resort for sure, but the thing is that this project is huge. Including the sequence backups for my rough cut and fine cut (which I really don't need), there's got to be 600+ sequences.
I can't figure out how to post attachments here, so I'm including a segment of the 3 crash logs my machine's generated since the last reformat. Please advise on the protocol for posting crash logs. Thanks.

Lightroom freezes while opening certain catalogs

While I was helped tremedously by the Adobe Tech Support to unfreeze my catalogs, the issue returns. In order to unfreeze, I have to move my preview folder to the desktop (or another folder) and reopoen the catalog. This recreates the previews and allows the catalog to work.k I've cleared the catalog cache, set the previews to medium, set the default to discrad 1:1 preview every thrty days, all in an attempt to avoid the "freeze." But, it still occurs. if I have to reopen the catalof after a time. The catalog has over 30000 images and is an integral tool in my research on fin whales in NY. What can I do to avoid this pain in the butt problem?
Details: Lightroom 5.5; windows 8.1 pro; 12 GB ram; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti graphics card; 860BG free out of 1.99TB...

Hi Susan,
The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
Good Luck :D

Pre8: New projects freeze program, opening project error.

I've recently discovered a problem on Premiere Elements 8. Whenever I try to create a new project, I click "Ok" on the opening dialog, but after that the program freezes.Whenever I try to open a project, a warning box says that it can't open Pro projects on Elements, though the project was created on Elements. And when opening Elements Organizer, it crashes right after opening. My computer is a Pentium 4, 2 CPU 2.60 GHz, 768MB RAM, 500GB HDD, nVIDIA Ti 4600 graphics, and Windows XP Professional SP3. I just ran a virus scan, and defragmented the drive but it still won't work.

How much free, defragmented space do you have on your HDD?
Is your video driver the very latest?
Is your QT Player the latest version?
For a computer with marginal power, this ARTICLE on setting it up for an editing session might be useful.
Good luck,
Hunt

Mail freezes while opening windows

Mail froze during use while I had about 30 messages open. On many attempts to reopen Mail I find that it always freezes in the process of opening all the messages. I do not have a Library Preferences file com.apple.mail.plist that might allow me to correct this.

Thanks, but . .
1. Launch Mail while holding the Shift key
down. This should prevent Mail from trying to select
any mailboxes or load any messages upon starting up.
This has no effect.
2. Go to Mail > Preferences > Viewing and
disable "Display remote images in HTML messages" if
it's enabled -- having this setting enabled is a
really bad idea for spam-related reasons anyway.
It is enabled, and clicking on it to disable it apparently registers, but, as with attempts to close messages, they have no continuing effect.

Garage band freezes when opening projects (new and recent)

So everytime I try to open any of the recent projects or create a new project, garageband goes to the load screen and freezes. I thought it might have been a corrupt file but I deleted all my projects and it still hangs. Any ideas?

Did you ever get this resolved? I am having the exact same issue and I also just upgraded to Leopard. What's the word?
