Color Key plus RGB curves slowing down computer
Just updated to Premiere CC 7.2.1 and when I use color Key and add RGB curves to a clip my computer shows down to an almost unsuseable level. Slow is the new normal.
Hello,
I'm sorry your experiencing this problem. Same question as Jim. Are you on Mac?
We are aware of the performance issues that were introduced in version 7.2 with certain AMD GPU cards.
We're investigating the problem now.
I know this is not ideal but in the mean time here's a few workarounds:
- Revert back to 7.1
- Disable GPU acceleration when using those effects
Here's a list of effects that seem most problematic:
*Fast Color Corrector
*RGB Curves
*ProcAmp
*Edge Feather
*Lumetri Looks
These effects do not appear hinder the performance in my testing:
*All Blurs Effects
*Three Way Color
*Crop
*Garbage Mattes
*Levels
Again, I apologies the the inconvenience.
Best,
Peter Garaway

Upgrade to Yosemite Slowed down computer substantially
Hi All,
I recently upgraded my MBP (mid-2009) to Yosemite. I noticed that people have been using EtreCheck to determine what is the root cause of these Yosemite upgrade slowdowns. My issue is that I am having difficulty interpreting the output file. Any help and recommendations would be appreciated.
Here is the file:

Updates from HP agent ... always runs at start up and slows down computer
HP Pavilion a1222n, Win XP Home
When we first turn on the computer it is slowed down by "Updates from HP agent running" checked through the task manager.
I would like to disable the automatic running of this and run it when I want to run HP Updates. I read in another post to go to the Start > All programs> setting > select never which would allow you to chose when to run the HP update agent. I can not seem to find it on this machine, the post I read was for another model.
Thanks
Ron3033
This question was solved.
View Solution.Hi Ron,
Try the following.
Hold down the Windows key and press R. Into the Run box, type msconfig and hit enter. In the System Configuration window, select the Startup tab and remove the tick next to the HP Update agent. Click Apply and Ok to save the change and then restart the PC for this change to take effect.
Regards,
DP-K

Is Java application slow down computer??
Hi all,
I was a newbie in java programming. I wanna make application with java, but some of my friend told me that java application can make u're system run slow cause u have to import all the classes that u need for u're application.
I wanna ask is java programming is slow down system when I compile and run the application that made u're application that I've made respond slowly?? How to avoid this??
Thanks for u're help.
My regrardsHi all,
I was a newbie in java programming. I wanna make
application with java, but some of my friend told me
that java application can make u're system run slow
cause u have to import all the classes that u need
for u're application.
I wanna ask is java programming is slow down system
when I compile and run the application that made u're
application that I've made respond slowly?? How to
avoid this??when you do something on your computer resources will be used. if you don't want to use computer resources turn the computer off.
if you don't want to program in java dont, noone is forcing you. when java runs it will load up a vm and a library for it. that's the way it is. it may take a little longer then the equiv native app, but that's because the native app's vm and so on is ALREADY loaded (it's the OS).
in summary: deal with it. it's not that bad. there are some very good examples of java desktop apps that work well; azereus being one, i'm sure there are others. -
Acrord32 slows down computer, graps cpu time.
Acrord32 slows computer, grabs cpu time.
Win XP Pro SP3, Acrobat 11.0.01.36.
(If this is not the correct forum, kindly direct me to where it should be re-posted.)
Every time the cursor floats over a .pdf file in any file manager, acrord32 slows down the computer, hangs the cursor, takes cpu time and makes scrolling jerky. The more .pdf’s in a list, the more jerky as acrord32 opens and closes, again and again. The cursor is not pausing over a .pdf file, no .pdf is being selected, Acrobat is not running. How can this be stopped? I DO NOT have Reader installed.
Acrotray and Acrord32 are NOT loaded in msconfig. They do not appear in task manager UNTIL the cursor floats over a .pdf. After a second or two, acrord32 disappears out of task manager. However, it is obviously lurking because it comes back next time the mouse encounters a .pdf.
Questions:
1) how to stop this behavior?
2) how do these exe/dll’s get loaded when they are not marked to start?
3) where does acrord32 “lurk,” and how can it be ferreted out?
This is very annoying.AcroRd32 is related to Reader, so not sure why you have it if you do not have Reader installed. If no Acrobat product is running, the only process that should be running should be AcroTray that provides the process when printing to the Adobe PDF printer and should not be disabled. Be sure you check the processes list and not the applications. AcroRd32 runs in the background processes when it is running.
I checked on both AA9 and AA XI systems with Windows 7. Neither one had AcroRd32 running. My guess is you have it installed, even if it does not appear to be. -
PS Elements 6 & 8 Slow Down Computer When Not In Use
I currently use PS Elements 8 on a MacBook Pro using 10.6.2 version of the operating system.
When I haven't been using Elements for perhaps 24 hours, I suddenly will notice that Elements is using an amazing amount of CPU cycles - say from 60% to 80%. I use MenuMeters, which shows me that something suddenly is using a lot of CPU cycles. I then switch to the Activity Monitor to see which application is doing this. It always is Elements.
I've waited to see if the problem will go away, but it usually doesn't. The only solution I've come up with is to Quit the application, and relaunch it.
What puzzles me is that I will not have been using Elements for a long time - say 24+ hours. Then, suddenly, the problem occurs. Because this bogs down the computer - and instantly shows up on MenuMeters. So this isn't happening in the background, and I don't notice it. It happens out of the blue. Because this activity bogs down the computer, I notice it almost instantly.
It's puzzling because applications usually don't wake themselves up and start working vigorously - especially when there are no pictures open.
This happened when I had Elements 6, and continues with Elements 8. I've been using Elements since I bought version 3 in December 2004.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?I've just launched PS Elements more than ten times while holding down on these keys. Elements launches, but absolutely nothing else happens.
At first, I thought that perhaps this keystroke combination might only work on a Windows computer. But with your information in hand, I went into the Elements help file, and found that this is indeed the keystroke combination to use on a Mac. However, this keystroke combination definitely does nothing on my computer.
If you tell me what this preference file is called, or where it is stored on a Mac, I'll delete it manually. -
Smart objects slowing down computer
Hi - I'm making animations in PS6 extended using timeline.
Some of the files are a bit hefty - 5 or 6 smart object files deep - and are making the computer go really slow [I have 8GB RAM and 1067Mhz].
I wondered if it might be caused by too many bits of info going backwards and forwards in the engine room ... and a defrag is necessary....??
I understand that the Mac only defrags files up to 10MB ... so these 60+MB files will be left out.
It starts to seize up after I've been working on a files ... going down into the deeper and deeper smart objects [eg a body with smart object arms going to smart hands going to smart fingers, etc]
Do you think I need to get a defrag program for this or would there be a cache somewhere which I can empty when the going gets rough, perhaps?
I don't have much else running at the time, by the way.
Many thanks
johnHi,
mdimport is caused by Spotlight indexing. Do you have any external hard drive connected to your computer? If so, Spotlight is probably indexing it. If you don't want to look up files in your external hard drive using Spotlight, you can go to System Preferences->Spotlight and in the Privacy tab add the external drive. Or, you can wait until Spotlight indexes all the files, cpu usage by mdimport will eventually reduce. -
Maverick update slowing down computer
Hey,
I installed the Maverick update on my mac book pro (2012) about a week ago and since then the computer has felt pretty slow. Just clicking around or opening apps seem to be much slower then it used to be and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with what to do next. I havent tried reinstalling it or anything but after reading around a bit it seems like posting my Etresoft report is the first step so here is mine.

KienanI have any older 2010 i Mac and was having the same problem. Lots of spinning beach balls everytime I opened somethng and especially when I logged onto my machine. I found a solution from OSXDaily. Here's the link, www.osxdaily.com/2013/11/13/fix-finder-slow-high-cpu-use-mac-os-x/. In fact, I think this solution may have come from the Apple Support Community originally. At any rate, it worked great. No more slow opens or beach balls when I log on. I used this workaround with 10.9.1 and then had to again with 10.9.2, so any updates appear to return it to the original Mavericks bugginess. Hope this helps.

Connecting to remote server slows down computer
We've been connecting to a remote server for years, and only recently have this problem:
When connected to a remote server, the entire system runs sluggish. This only happens with one remote server -- other connections don't cause this problem. The system is slow even if we are not reading or writing -- just the connection seems to cause the slowdown.
What could be causing this?You need to enable WinRM on your system. Open powershell on the system you want to connect to remotely and enable it by typing:
C:>enable-psremoting -force
WinRM already is set up to receive requests on this machine.
WinRM has been updated for remote management.
Created a WinRM listener on HTTP://* to accept WS-Man requests to any IP on this machine.
This will configure WinRM for you. Check out this technet powershell training session.

Premiere Pro Freezes mac while rendering Fast Color Corrector & Rgb curves
I am having a problem that is impacting our business. We are doing commercials that we are doing color correction of the subject using Fast Color Corrector and RGB curves. When these effects are added to the sequenced video, the performance of the Mac Pro slows down considerably.
Then when we go to render the project so that we can see the effects in real time, the computer freezes completely. The program usually informs us that it must close due to a serious error. I have attempted to restart the computer, clean up permissions etc to solve this problem but to no avail. Why would this happen? Any ideas on how to solve it?
Here are the specs:
Using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 (4)
Mac Pro: 3.2 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 24 GB
ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1024 MB)
OS: 10.8.5Yes. I experimented on my own and got confirms from a couple of sources. Where the problem was is bad suggestions about what settings to use in Premiere Pro.
The first setting you want to check (although Premiere Pro will probably see the card right away is:
File > Project Settings > General - Make sure that Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is selected. Everyone agrees on this.
Now is where the fun begins. There is a school of thought that says to go here:
Sequence > Sequence Setttings - Under Video Previews, they want you to check off Maximum Render Quality. Once you do this, you must also go to:
Preferences > Memory - and change Optimize Rendering for Performance
DO NOT DO THIS! What I found is that this significantly slows down your system and makes rendering and exporting take over your computer (and I have a lot of ram). Leave your change with the setting Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and you should be great.
I have found a significant change in running color correction effects, exporting and rendering. You will too.
Let me know how you make out after your setup.
Have a great day! -
Why has my computer slowed down? I downloaded the update yesterday and since then the color wheel keeps circling and I can't download or move emails to my different mailboxes. There is no consistent patern in which emails can be transferred. There is a consistent patern with the color wheel coming on while I am typing and stoping the recording of the keys.

Hello, I'm pretty sure my fan on my 2009 mac book pro has stopped running. Would this cause the computer to slow down and take for ever to boot up and show the color wheel every time I select an application ? how involved to replace fan ? cost ?
thanksNot directly, but if the CPU overheats because of incompatible software, that would cause slowdowns. Do not allow the computer to run if the fan is not working unless you wish to fry your motherboard. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

At first my laptop was fine after the earphone end got stuck in. Soon it started getting slower, and suddenly it stopped switching on. The people in the service station said that it wAs because the hard disk drive was corrupted. I came back home, and immediately it stopped working again. This time they said it was because of water spill. They changed the entire key board and then it started working for a while. Later I updated to maverick and that slowed down my computer. Once, I switched on my laptop, logged in, and then the screen went white. When we took it to the service center they said they will need to replace the hard disk. I am not sure what I should do. Any suggestions?
Liquid damage from water spill is progressive, unfortunately.

I have an older IMAC - purchased in 2007. Works well. I have LION iOS 10.7.5 and want to upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8. Will it slow down my computer? If so, how much?
Be sure you can upgrade your iMac:
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase a redemption code at the Online Apple Store: OS X Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. Use the code to redeem a download of Mountain Lion from the App Store. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later.
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model
Identifier 5,1 or later.

What's slowing down my computer?
Austin, how do I find out what's going on with my MacBook Pro that when I click on something, the rainbow will of death keeps popping up. What's slowing my computer down?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
