Anyone using AE CS4 on Windows 7 yet?

I'm running W7 64-bit which is working great but I am getting error messages in AE related to audio driver issues. I'm just using the default Windows audio drivers. Any thoughts?

Assuming you have admin rights, it may hinge on the driver signature. Only signed drivers are supposed to be installed and W7 is even more rigid in that regard than Vista. I believe you can still turn it off in your group policy editor's (gpedit.msc) security section, though.

Using Adobe CS4 on Windows side of new Imac: It keeps crashing..Help!!!

Hello,
I just bought a new 2009 Imac G5, 24in screen, desktop version, 3.06 GHZ Processor, 4 GB ram, 1TB of Storage. I used Boot Camp to split the hard drive down the middle (500 GB for each side) and I installed Windows XP service pack 3.
My company gave me the new version of Adobe CS4 for Windows (brand new) and after a successful install, the programs tend to crash often. Especially Flash. Photoshop crashed as soon as I opened it up and it was a small file I was working with. What the heck is going on here people???? It's all new stuff.
Anyone have a similar issue??? It's annoying and frustrating and has prevented me from getting a lot of work accomplished, so any help or advice would be great.
Please help!
Thanks!
Mike
p.s
On a separate note(this is not a question just a comment): some of the Adobe fonts that come standard with the CS4 did not install properly and were not recognized by my computer. This is because of the Imac's graphics processor. I called Adobe and they had to manually walk me through the process (in Windows)of getting the processor to read the fonts. It was crazy and actually, it was not their responsibility to do this...the woman was just being extra nice. FYI

Anyone use VMware to run windows on a intel macboon pro

I am looking for a reliable emulator to run widows as an application in my macbook pro.
Does anyone have any experience with the VM WARE player or such.
Any help is appriciated.
Happy Holidays All,
Grant Parkis

I use Parallels to run Vista and XP Pro. However it is not nessecary to run emulation software any longer on the mac platform, since Intel processors make it possible to run these OS's natively.
While I do use Parallels to run Windows. For the few moments i really do need to do such a silly thing, Bootcamp is MUCH better to use because Parallels emulates windows, and Bootcamp literally lets you partition the HD for a space to install the OS for real. If anyone is wondering, IMO Bootcamp is a bit more of an inconvienant because you have to reboot into the other partition, Parallels is quicker because it can be opened in its own window, and boot very fast. BUT Paralells is a bit quirky in its operation/emulation of WIndows. BC is not at all and runs as you would expect it to on any Intel computer.

I know it's not supported but...anyone using Captivate 8 on Windows XP?

Has anyone tried installing and running Captivate 8 on Windows XP?
I know running Windows XP is a dumb idea in most cases nowadays, but my plan would be to run it within a virtual machine solely for use with Captivate, as that is the only Windows app that I need to use. I'm switching over to a Macbook Pro Retina 15" as my primary computer tomorrow, and I have a spare Windows XP license that I don't use for anything else. And since Captivate's licensing is different from Creative Clouds in that the same license cannot be used for both Windows AND Mac, I'd prefer to use the Windows XP license I already have.

Anyone using PrPro CS4/5 plus Corel DVD Movie Factory (Ex-Ulead)

Hi Folks,
I've been using Prem Pro for a while now and usually make my DVDs in Encore.
However, I recently wanted to use some rather good DVD menu templates that are standard in Ulead's DVD Movie Factory (Now taken over by Corel).
I imported my tapes into PPro, edited the footage as normal and output an avi file (via Adobe Media Encoder) using the presets "Microsoft avi files" and "DV Pal Widescreen".
Now here's my problem and hence the question: When I import the files into DVD Movie Factory, they show up as 4:3 instead of 16:9.
I've tried several versions of Movie Factory, 4,5 and 6 and also Corel Video Studio Pro X2. All give the same result.
Now if I import the original tape files (captured using PrPro) they show up as 16:9, it's only after editing in PPro and exporting via AME that they show up as 4:3.
Also, as an added twist, this only happens on long files.
I'm currently doing some tests and a 5 minute file exports OK but a 1 hour file turns into 4:3.
I'm not sure where the cut-off or changeover is as I'm still testing.
I did check with a friend who has just upgraded to CS5 and the problem is identical.
So I'm baffled. Is there some kind of problem with long files in AME or is there more than one method of marking files as 16:9, and Adobe uses a method not recognised by Corel or vice verse?
Any info or results of anyone elses experiments most welcome.
Regards.

This really is a very, very common issue with standalone recorders.
The data rates they use are often very high indeed, and it can often result in discs being burned from them that will only play correctly on the machine they were made on.
You mention
>To use Adobe Encore 2, I have converted the source file to Mpeg2 using a software program, on it's slowest, highest quality setting, so Adobe can read it, and then do my authoring.
What file types are created by the Sony please?
And what are you converting with?
Remember the Adobe monitor is showing you the footage both in progressive scan format - ie, non interlaced, and additionally it's streaming directly off the drive, not from a written disc.
Once you get to disc, the rules all change - and this is where you will see the results of "conversion".
MPEG files are heavily compressed, and converting them to another compressed format will cause inevitable quality loss.
Can you please give some info on exactly what the structure is from the Sony, the file types, and if at all possible the data rates of your MPEG-2 files after conversion?
There is a utility called "bitrate Viewer" that will do the final part. Grab a copy at http://www.tecoltd.com/

Has anyone used ReelDirector with their iPhone 4 yet?

I'm trying to decide between iMovie or ReelDirector, and there's a piece of info on ReelDirector's page that's running contradictory to the reviews.
Specifically, they say that they're fully compatible with the iPhone 4 and its HD video, yet a bunch of the reviewers say that it's not, and one even specifically says that ReelDirector can only output at 480p. Is it that ReelDirector can read & edit the HD video, making it "fully compatible" as they say, but then downgrades for export?

Have you tried a hard reset? Or reboot? Hold the top power button and the home button at the same time until the Apple logo appears. Then release. Also, when you hear yourself, is it when you're taking to a particular person? I sometimes hear myself when talking to my wife. We discovered it was how she holds her phone too high up on her ear. When she lowers the phone, I no longer hear myself.

Anyone Using An SSD Drive for Audio Yet?

Been thinking about one of these for my record drive, since a very small one would work for me (as I'm only working on a few songs at any given moment and have plenty of other space to store things). It's between this and getting a V Raptor drive but I love the idea of no moving parts...
Any input appreciated..

For audio recording, the concern is that SSDs have a lower number of write cycles than traditional hard drives. It's hard to know with such a new category of product, but they may fail faster in a situation where they are being written over and over very often.
This is a much bigger issue for system disks than for audio recording. Audio deals with relatively large files, and once they're written, they generally stay there until the project is dumped off-disk.
The system, on the other hand, constantly reads/writes/re-writes tiny blocks of data all over the place - which is also why random read/write rates are EVERYTHING in performance, and sequential read/write speeds, while certainly impressive, are pretty much irrelevant in actual use.
Also, all SSDs use a kind of "load balancing" to make sure that writes are evenly distributed across the entire memory, resulting in lifespans far beyond anything you'd reasonably expect off a mechanical hard drive.

CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility

Has anyone successfully installed CS4 on Windows 8? I am currently using Windows XP and received a pop up saying Microsoft are no longer releasing updates for XP after August and I am entitled to a free download of Windows 8. I am trying to decide whether to do this but risk losing my use of CS4 which I really don't want to do. Any advice much appreciated as not sure whether to just continue with XP. Thanks in advance.

If you search Google using the terms "CS4 and Windows 8 compatibility" you can probably find various results from both Adobe and Microsoft that should give you some idea of how much of a gamble you might face in changing your OS.
In my own experience, a change in OS has yet to be a positive experience... while most people loved XP in its day, I suffered years of poor performance with it as an upgrade from the moment it was installed and regretted doing it. Maybe you've had better experience and aren't as shy of it as I am.

Incorrectly coloured text when saving to .PDF using Photoshop CS4

I am using Photoshop CS4 on Windows 7, and have designed my own business card.
When saving to .PDF to send to printers I am finding that a small section of text is saving with a white section to it, for example out of the 3 lines of text on the card the bottom left hand corner of the & sign I have in the design is coming out white, the rest of the text is a golden colour.
I have tried searching on this forum and on google but can't seem to find anyone with my actual problem so unsure where to go.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks

Issues with PHOTOSHOP CS4 on Windows 7

Hi!
I'm using photoshop CS4 on Windows 7, and i have a problem. I'm working on a Core I7 920 with 6Go of ram.
I'm using the 11.0.1 version (the latest), and even with that, the brush is awfully slow on windows 7. I tried with and without the "Open-GL drawing" enabled, it doesn't change anything. I thought it could be the fault of Windows 7's "tablet PC" function, but even after uninstalling it, i still have the same problem. I tried it on XP SP3 on the same computer, and it works normaly.
As i also had some problems with AE, i guess the compatibility is not perfect. I think Adobe should really think about an update for 7 users.

Here's a possible solution (work around) to the lag problem, that worked for me.
Open the Wacom Tablet Properties, double click on the tablet and make sure its in "Standard" mode.
Click on the Mapping Tab ->set the mapping mode to Mouse and turn off Mouse Accelerration.
I also either disabled anything that I didn't use.
Hope this helps.

Why can't I view metadata added in Photoshop CS4 in Windows XP's explorer?

I'm using Photoshop CS4 on Windows XP. I've been editing the Title and Description fields in Photoshop (and yes, I've been saving things). When I try to view the metadata in Photoshop at a later point I can see everything just fine. When I try to view the metadata by going in to windows explorer and looking at the properties, those fields just show up as blank. This may be a silly question (I'm a bit of a noob), but what am I doing wrong?

I believe Mylenium is referring to this: Start Bridge, then Edit - Preferences - Metadata.
I don't know what settings to tweak to accomplish what you want, though.

Question for Anyone Using CS4 Production Premium with Windows 7

I'm testing Windows 7 at home with CS3 Production Premium and have not had any issues. Of course CS4 is quite a bit different.
Anyone using CS4 Production Premium on Windows 7 regularly? Any issues to report?
Thanks

Thanks for replying to my post:

"I notice that when I open an old CS4 project and PPro asks you to locate the file, that the "show only exact file name" tick box seems to have no effect.
This is on Windows 7 RC 64bit."
On our systems at work that have XP and Vista + CS4 Production Premium. I've noticed this with preview files in particular and possibly some others, I don't remember. The "show only exact file" checkbox is greyed out. This is somewhat annoying because projects can have a huge number of preview files with long cryptic names making it a pain to locate the correct one manually to get the ball rolling. If I don't think it'll take too long to re-render, I just select "skip preview files".
We bought 3 licenses for Windows 7 and I'm encouraged by the performance, reliability and features on my home test system (RC 64) that has CS3 installed. Can't wait to get rid of XP and Vista.

Has anyone experienced there computer freezing up when useing Photoshop CS4 or SC5

My two computers both freeze up when I am useing Photoshop (working with a large file 82-120 megs with multiple layers, channels and paths) it only ocurred when useing Photoshop. Otherwise the computrs works fine for every day tasks for buseniss and personal use, admittedly, I do not have any other resource intnsive applications other then QuickBooks or maybe a large Excel spreadsheet but I have no problem with these large files. I am not a gamer or I could try a game I hear that they can be resorce intensive.
My first computer is used for personal and business. this computer has a number of programs on it, including Kaspersky internet security but it is not lacking in resorces, It is a Intel based computer, sporting Intel quad core 2.5 GHz CPU. running on a 32 bit Windows 7 operating system, its list of components are 4 gig ram, Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT graphics card (on the Adobe approval list sporting open GL) 4 sata hard drives, 750 watt power supply, Asus P5N-D SLI motherboard, the tower case has 7 fans and the CPU is water cooled.
I run Photoshop CS4 on this unit.
after I experienced this loss of critical files I call the tech support line to see if they could help with recovery of the file and to ask if they had a way to prevent this from occuring again.
They said that I could wave bye bye to the file and the work, additionaly they said if I was working with large files like that, I should be runing a 64 bit system that could utilize additional memory.
I really like working with the large files so I bit the bullet and spent the money for the 2nd computer that I would use as a dedicated Photoshop workstation.
the second system has many of the same components because they have worked admirably. the key difference is as followes. 8gig ram, 64 bit Windows 7 operating system, Photoshop CS5 and the only other software is the drivers for the wacom intos4 tablet. I desided not to install any type of antivirus program because I will not be useing it on the internet except when it needs to connect to Adobe for whatever. my decision not to install antivirus can be reversed but I did not want any questions about it slowing up the computer.
This system with Photoshop CS5, freezes up faster then the CS4 system.
When I say Freezes up what I am referring to is the mouse and keyboard will not respond. Control/alt/delete will not bring up the task manager. Eventually I give up and have to force a shut down by pushing and holding the case start button for about 5 to 8 seconds.
when I restart the system I check the file that I have been working and several times the file that I was working on is corrupted beyond Photoshops ability to open.
I have used the windows 7, on board, memory diagnostics and it claims that all of the memory is fine I have reviewed the event logs and the only critacal errors are about the system being improperly shuting down. I even went to the trouble to click on the link for each error that will take you to Microsofts website and will serch for anything they have about that event and they had no help on the event.
People with mac computers have had a similar problem that had to do with there fonts and plugins, but I do not have a mac and I have not installed any plugins. The CS5 is as it came from the factory and the Mac people kicked me out telling me to get over on my side of the street where the rest of the windows outcast are but that was only after they thought they had there problen solved. Its so funny, but losing these files is not, Please Help

Thanks everyone for jumping in with both feet.
Let me review what I have already done.
(1). I have already witnessed how the wround driver for the tablet will wrack havoc. when I first started the 64 bit version of CS5 it would not recognize any PSD files at all and if you went to the file and right clicked looking for the (open with) dialog box forget-about-it the option for Photoshop was not an option.
I called Adobe tech support and they told me that I was not going to be able to use the Wacom tablet with the 64 bit versionof Photoshop. I found that a little suspicious seeing how Wacom tablets are the most preferred pen tablets for professional illustrators.
I contacted Wacom and they explained that I needed to uninstall the Wacom tablet, reboot the computer, go to the website, download the new 64 bit drivers and then reinstall the tablet. after I did that. Photoshop found all of my files and opened just fine.It was only then that I found out about the freezing proplem with the 64 Bit version.
A number of the helpful people here have tried to advise this to me but I have already be down tha road.
(2). I have the latest drivers for the BFG Nvidia Geforce 9600 Gt, released in April of this year and I had already new that the were necessary for the open GL so this is one of the first things that I tried.
Some one from our cousin Mac's side of the famaly and (Noel just suggested) that I try turning off the open GL. As soon as cousin Mac asked us to try this I did it (Them being famaly and all).
I was able to give it a try on the 32 bit system on Thursday 7/8/2010.
I was able to work on a very large file with a multitude of layers, channels and paths for about 5 hours before if froze. after the reboot I found that the file was fine and retained everything up to my last save.
But this test is only good as circumstantial evidence because the freezes are somwhat random. They mosly happen after I have been working with a large file for quite some time but some times it can happen very quickly, maybe 25 or 30 minutes.
Bye the way I really enjoy the humor, the Mac people are very serious people.
the Mac users are just grouchy because they expect their computers to "just work", and of course they don't.
We PC users have been given no such expecatations. THANKS NOEL
Oh, don't worry about them mean old grumpy PC wanna be Mac peoples. Gota luv it THANKS dec9
and Eight thousand dollar papper weight says it all. THANKS $8000paperweight.
(3) the memory, CPU and mother board can not be ruled out completly, just yet
As for the memory I have used the on board windows 7 diagnostics and it passed. but this is a unreliable test for hevy-resource dependent applications and a load or stress test would need to be done to be confidend.
I have a number of computers with the same kind of ram but after swaping them around I can not say that I have had any lasting results and it is compecated by experiences like what happened to me after turning off the open GL. What if I had of only worked for 4 hours? I would of thought that the problem was solved thats what would of happened
Do any of you work with files like I have been talking about? and if so do you experience any problems?
The motherboard can not be rulled out by any tests that I know of other then process of elimination which is at the heart of all sound diagnostics.
I downloaded a utility that is helpful called (Cupid Z) that gives real time monitoring and idenification of components.All the voltages seem fine.A.
I hope I will be able to up load the screen shots so you all can have a look see.
The CPH is more than likely not the problem.
I do have the option to install Photoshop on a third computer that has most of the same components but has a different Intel CPU. this would rull out any compatability issues (CPU with the Board) but if that were the case I dought that every other progrem under the sun works fine except Photoshop.
dec9, I did delete the prefs on the 32bit system but I have not had time to test the operation of Photoshop as of yet.
Lastly I will try to upload the screen shots of (Cupid Z) you will see that the latencys and the frequency are correct. Under the SPDscreen the plausible timinigs for verious common frequencies are given,, all seem to be with in range. The lantency are inside the spec.given by Corsair;s website
Asus provides a utility that allows you to monitor Temptures and voltages and I hope to send you a screen shot of this and you can see that they all are correct.
I would like to send the event log but I am not sure how to do that if someone could give me the 411 on how to do this I will send them to you I have saved the errors in several file formats but I cant see how you cold read them on this little page Thanks again POBOX119 signing off
