CS3 - delays after 'undo' command

A quick search suggest that others are experiencing this but
I couldn't find anything in adobe support about the issue:
Basically I am getting several seconds of delay after every
undo command. Someone has suggested it is connected to the
size of the .fla and appears to be mainly experienced by animators
working with files 20-30MB but so far my own .fla is only about
5MB.
It doesn't happen on new files but is a substantial enough
disruption to my workflow on this larger file for me to consider
reverting to MX. I have entertained the possibility it is to do
with how some of my imported illustrator files are being recreated
in flash (occasionally dozens of individual paths to render what
should basically be simple gradients) but have not yet had the time
to try and remove library elements one by one to see if the problem
goes away.
I dont think this is system specific as I have mainly been
reading posts of PC users (with powerful set ups) and I personally
am on an Intel based MacBookPro with a respectable spec.
<b>Anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions as to what
might be going on / how I can get an instantaneous undo
back!?</b>

Posting my own solution to this on account of new
information:
Opening the file without the library panel appeared to solve
the problem (until I needed a symbol at which point it came back
and required me to close and open the file again without the
library panel - hardly an effective solution)
<b>However</b> changing the undo’ settings
in preferences>general from ‘document-level’ to
‘object-level’ clears the delay up completely.

  • Long delay after issuing commands at prompt

    This has only begun recently, so I assume I've done something wrong but I havn't tinkered that much, so I can't really retrace my steps.
    At the prompt when I type in certain commands there is a very long delay (10-30 seconds) to load certain things. startx is one of them, emacs and firefox are others.
    There isn't really anything else to say, there isn't any error messages or anything so I really have no idea how to locate the problem. It also occurs outside of a prompt, for instance when using xbindkeys.
    After they've been loaded once they load quickly but it's really annoying after I reboot.
    Any clues?

    I find that there is a small delay normally with those programs, I'm not sure if that's what you mean.
    Could you post the contents of /var/log/errors.log and the output of dmesg.  Also you might check the CPU
    usage when they open.

  • Windows 7 -Delay after right click and installation query

    Hi,
    I have freshly clean installed Windows 7 home premium x64 in my HP laptop which was previously running the x86 version of the same factory installed OS.I have performed a usb install.Now,I have two queries-
    1.During the installation,when the machine rebooted,to complete the installation process,it gave the option of 'Continue with win 7-EMS ENABLED'-and I went ahead with it and completed the process.I want to know whether this EMS thing is normal or not?
    2.There is a slight delay after the right click in the desktop-how can it be resolved?
    Looking forward for your valuable opinions regarding this

    Hi,
    First please know that EMS allows users to control particular components of a server remotely, even when the server is not connected to the network or to other standard remote-administration tools. In Windows Vista and later, use BCDEdit /emssettings command
    and its parameters to establish EMS settings for all boot entries. Then, use the BCDEdit /ems command to enable EMS for a particular boot entry.
    It's ok to get EMS enabled.
    For your second question, it seems a performance issue.
    Please first let me know except the system default context on the right click menu, if there is any 3rd part context menu or extension. if so, please use shellexview to remove them:
    1. Download ShellExView v1.41 from the following link
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shexview.zip 
    Please Note: The third-party product discussed here is manufactured by a company that is independent of Microsoft. We make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding this product's performance or reliability.
    2.  Extract "shexview.zip" file and open shexview.exe. It will scan the registry for all the shell extensions.
    3. Select all the non-Microsoft extensions in pink by press "Ctrl" in the keyboard.
    4. Click the "Disable Selected Items" on the toolbar and click Yes.
    5. Restart your computer and check if the issue is resolved.
    If there is no such context menu, please run performance troubleshooting under Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Troubleshooting\All Categories.
    Also, help to test the issue in Clean boot mode.

    If the issue doesn’t appear, you can determine which one can be the cause by using dichotomy in MSconfig. Checking on half of Non-Microsoft service and restart, determining which half of the services cause the issue and repeating to check half of the problematic
    half services.
    If the issue still persists, please check if there is any related error or warning in event logs, post back for our further research.

  • UNDO command in itunes - c'mon already!

    This is a copy of a letter of a letter I just sent to Apple. Could some other users please back me up on this one and maybe help to drive the point home? IMPLEMENT UNDO IN ITUNES!
    Dear Apple,
    I could not be more frustrated right now as I just accidentally deleted my most important playlist in itunes - the one that tells me "these are the songs that you have to organize into playlists when you get around to it". And what really adds insult to injury is that there has been a greyed out "Undo (ctrl-Z)" command under the edit list for as long as I can remember, that has never done a darned thing except frustrate every user who makes mistakes from time to time - which is everybody! After God knows how many updates there have been to itunes since I started using 6 years ago - why has this never been addressed? Seriously - I want answers. This has long frustrated users and just cost me countless hours of work - I'm a professional dj, so yes - music management is work. Especially when you're dealing with 20,000 + songs. Now I have to sort through them all one by one to see if 20,000 songs are in the right playlists? This Is Ridiculous!
    If for whatever reason an "undo" command cannot be implemented into itunes (wouldn't seem so difficult - just about every program has one), then how about a lock / unlock feature for individual playlists, that would prevent somebody from deleting an entire playlist when all they're trying to do is delete a song. This has been a long-standing problem amongst itunes users and it's about time that something be done. I know about the pop - up warning box, and I see it so often as I delete songs frequently and it pops up every time, that It's just become habit to press Enter when it does - Yes I'm sure I want to delete the song - BUT NOT A PLAYLIST! UNGH! Deleting an entire playlist should not even be that easy in the first place - hide that in the Advanced tab along with the other commonly used features that you actually want to access regularly. Unbelievable.
    I'd love to hear your thoughts on this matter and the logic behind why an UNDO command is apparently out of reach for your developers. Please - enlighten me.
    Anxiously Awaiting,
    xxxxxxxxxxx

    "I have nothing against your quest for an Undo command, I think it would be a good thing, but you are basically calling the programmers... I dunno, programatically challenged"
    Thats exactly what I'm calling them
    j/k - I'm not one for name-calling.
    but seriously is there any good reason why this seemingly simple, yet potentially life-saving function cannot exist? If Not, Why even have the tease of the grayed-out "Undo" command just sitting under the Edit list - as if to say, "If this worked, you wouldn't be pulling your hair out right now"? I'm still way behind now, It's Saturday night and I'm clicking "show playlist" on everyone of my MP3's - and I'm not even 1/20th of the way through the library. I'm not sure when if ever I'll recover from this and find the MP3's that were in the list I accidentally deleted.
    Sorry - had to vent there. This Is So Frustrating!
    I'm still anxiously awaiting a valid reason though. People are prone to make mistakes. So why wouldn't somebody recognize this, before moving on to playing movies on an ipod? Get the basics right first. 7.whatever versions later and some itunes basics are still flawed / missing? Makes no sense to me. Maybe one of the "programmatically challanged" could chime in here

  • UNDO (Command+Z) stops working

    I've had the undo command (command+Z) stop working a LOT lately. Anyone else experience this? It seems to be after I make a bunch of complicated changes that it simply will not undo the changes.
    Note: If I close motion and DON'T save, and try all the changes again, the undo works. Something get's botched somewhere and I wonder if it's in memory management somewhere....
    Does anyone else experience this?
    Adam.

    I'm having the same problem but it is consistent. Nothing seems to Undo, either by (Command - Z) or going to Edit and selecting Undo.
    I'm just learning Motion and I don't want to go any further if I can't "Undo" a mistake.
    Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

    Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac? 

    Peggy
    You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
    Two more questions:
    1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
    2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
    Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

  • How do I Import footage from Premier Pro CS3 to After Effects?

    Hi
    As the subject says, how do I import footage from premier pro cs3 into after effects. I'm getting rather frustrated trying to figure this out.
    Via copy & paste I can copy into after effects but this copys the whole of the track on the timeline, where as I just want 10 seconds copied. The 10 seconds I want to copy is a segment & was highlighted when I clicked copy.
    Also when the full track gets copied, all my edits aren't copied & I get the raw track copied???
    I've googled this, tried the "Add Dynamic Link" but all I want is to copy 10 seconds of footage from premier into after effects, add my effect & then copy it back, and I can't figure out how to do this simple thing
    Any help
    Thanks.

    I am still not getting this.
    I highlight the selection I want to copy into after effects. I copy & paste it & it pastes my entire footage without any off the edits I have made.
    Having searched loads for this I can find no other answer than copy & paste.
    Please please could you guy be more specific with your answers as I just can't figure this one?

  • Undo command in Entity Framewok ?

    Hello !
    Is there any Undo command in entity framework ?
    If not, is there any way to create it ?
    Thank you !

    Hello dcode25,
    >>Is there any Undo command in entity framework ?
    It is not very clear what operation you want to undo, if they are changes as insert/update/delete, since Entity Framework would use a state manager class to manage these states of entities, you could achieve the undo operation by changing these states of
    entities, you could do that with 4 level:
    Context Level
    Entity Set Level
    Entity Level
    Property Level
    For detail implementation, please check this code sample:
    How to undo the changes in Entity Framework 4.1 and later

  • Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion

    Time Machine says Backup Delayed After Upgrading to Lion on both my Macs. It backs up fine when ever I connect to the USB drive but now seems to want to back up hourly when before weekly was OK. When it does not compleye an hourly backup it reports a delayed backup - failure on both machines. How do it revert back to it reminding me to do weekly backups?

    I'm having the same issue with Time Machine on OS X Lion!
    According to this webpage:     http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/LionChanges.html
    Backups (i.e., Time Machine, SD, CCC, etc.) will only save the current "Version" of files.
    The above statement sounds like the issue @iJRB and myself are having after upgrading to Lion where Time Machine shows the following error message below within "System Preferences > Time Machine"
    @iJRB: Is this the error message you are seeing?

  • Ps cs3 crashes after start up in maverics

    After installing Maverics Photoshop CS3 crashes after start up on my macbook air. 

    After reading the crash report That I nearly sent to apple, I found a SIMBL plug in caused the crash.  I had installed the Colorfulsidebar plug in to give me colored icons like the good old days of Mac OS10.6.  Getting rid of that makes me sad but at least Photoshop cs3 runs again!  And so does Grand Perspective (Bonus!)

  • Delay after key stroke in iPhoto following latest update

    I just updated to the latest version of iPhoto in the hope of seeing improvements which I am sure they are. However, right now, the only change I see is that there is a delay after each character I type in the legend.  It is unbearable and close to being unsusable.  Is anyone else experiencing this issue and were you able to fix it somehow?

    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • Audio delay after rendering

    Hello,
    I'm a YouTuber from Poland who puts on my channel movies (named commonly gameplays) from variety of games. I rendered about 250 gameplays using Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS6. Except for the raw video from the game, I also render my gameplays adding the video from internet camera and sound of my voice from TeamSpeak (material from the game, camera and teamspeak are recorded separately).
    Recently I encountered a very wierd problem with my Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 - audio from the game is delayed after rendering movie. My voice is rendered as it should be with no delays.
    Everything was fine earlier, I had no problems! And I haven't changed (consciously) anything at all im my Premiere Pro CS6 settings nor in my hardware. What is more important, when I render only half of the sequence or some part, audio is okey and there are no delays - therefore this excludes a hypothesis about beeing something wrong with my recording settings. It seems that is happening only when I render video from the beginning...
    It may be important to say, that normally I record all videos with MSI Afterburner but recently I installed FRAPS on my computer. And than this problem came out. I have no idea how that may be related but it's just an observation. After instaling FRAPS I had another problem with memory paging file - games were closed when I recorded with MSI Afterburner due to insufficient virtual memory. Never had this problem either. I uninstalled FRAPS, reinstalled MSI, installed FRAPS again and now I don't have that problem. Another weird thing going on...
    Edit
    When I close Premiere Pro CS6 I receive a message that Adobe Media Core CS6 stopped working... may it be related?

    Tammy,
    If we've dropped a bit of time for this part of the edit, you now have time for more fun aspects of it.
    While I will casually monitor my Meters, I spend much more time with a good set of noise-canceling headphones, listening critically. The Meters are basically to point up potential issues. With Audio, if you have not invested in a really good set of headphones, do yourself a big favor, and sneak 'em into the budget.
    Glad that you got things toned down.
    Now, let's go on to Lesson 02 - The Audio Mixer. Unlike adding Keyframes to a Clip, when your cutting is done, you can apply Track Keyframes to attenuate (also Pan, etc.) you Audio Tracks to suit. One would just change the Send in that Track to Write, or Touch, and "ride the gain" with the slider, as is required. I probably do most of my Audio editing there, than addressing the individual Clips. First thing that I have done is cut back a bit on the frequency of the Track Keyframes in Edit>Preferences, as I find the default to add too many (and you can go in and adjust these by hand, if you need to "smooth" things out a bit.). One caution: do this when you are satisfied with the cuts, Clip placement, etc., as these Keyframes are applied to the Track. If you were to remove a Clip, and replace it, those Keyframes would apply to that new Clip, whether you want them to, or not. This trips some folk up, if they do the Audio Mixer thing too soon in the editing. Wait until you are "in love" with your Timeline otherwise. It's like scoring a Project. One does that as about the very last step, or much work will be repeated, and that is not fun.
    Good luck,
    Hunt
