CS4 Freezes when other video (flash/wmv) is played

I was doing a CS4 tutorial on Lynda.com and couldn't figure out why Premiere kept freezing on every command I did. Then I realized it worked perfectly as long as I wasn't playing the flash video for the tutorial. So I switched from the flash video to their wmv option. Same thing happened.
Why is Premiere freezing when I play a video outside the program? Is it really that sensitive? Sheesh
My setup:
Dell Studio XPS 435T
Intel Core i7 CPU 2.67GHz
Running at 64-bit OS
12GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTS 240
Dual Monitors
Thanks. Any insight would be great.

  • FCP Freezes When Exporting to Flash Video (FLV)

    Final Cut Pro 7.0.2 freezes when exporting to Flash Video (FLV). The resulting FLV file contains only a few seconds of the exported video. A 2009 Apple Support notice offers this re. FCP 6 and CS3 Flash Video Encoder...

    Final Cut Pro: May quit unexpectedly when exporting to Flash
    Last Modified: February 13, 2009
    Article: TS2593
    Symptoms
    Final Cut Pro may quit unexpectedly when you export using QuickTime Conversion if you choose Flash Video (FLV) from the Format menu.
    Products Affected
    Final Cut Pro 6.x, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder
    Resolution
    This can happen if you use the Adobe Creative Suite 3 Flash Video Encoder and Final Cut Pro together. This issue does not occur with the Flash Video Encoder in Adobe Creative Suite 4. To work around the issue:
    Choose File > Export > QuickTime Movie.
    Be sure to enable Make Movie Self-Contained.
    Open the exported movie in QuickTime Player.
    Export the movie to Flash from QuickTime Player.
    ===
    I just installed CS5, so I would think I shouldn't be bothered with an older, problematic Flash Video Encoder. I don't think I should have to convert an MOV file to an FLV file using QuickTime Reader or anything else. Why doesn't it export correctly out of FCPro 7.0.2?

    oh well.

  • Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy CS4 or when I update an InCopy File

    Indesign CS4 freezes when I export to InCopy or when I update an InCopy CS4 File. I have done some of the troubleshooting steps already and have already re-installed and re-updated through Adobe Updater. But the problem still exists. Anyone have any patches or fixes? Or have had the same issue and fixed it?

  • Why is my DVD project freezing when a video clip plays?

    Hi -
    I have a simple Encore(CS5 Mac) project that is that is "stalling" when played.  
    The content of the DVD is made from an After Effects(CS5.5 Mac) project so I think I should provide information on that.  The 30sec AE project is mostly timeline animation until the last 6 seconds which is video footage.   The 7 second video clip is scaled way down from it's original dimensions and then masked off to fit in an area of the AE stage.
    I rendered the AE project to a QT MOV with No compression.  In this format it was a very large file (939MB) but it played flawlessly in Quicktime on my desktop.
    Then I brought that MOV into Encore as a timeline, added a one button menu,  and burned a DVD. 
    The prpoject plays fine until that video comes on. At that instant - the picture freezes for a few seconds - then plays for a second and then freezes again.  It does this stop and go until the video ends and then the DVD returns to the simple opening menu.
    It seems to choke at the same time each time I replay it but I can't be 100% sure.  It's almost as if the disc actually stops spinning.
    Why would the DVD freeze when the video content of my DVD project played?  What can I do to fix this?
    TIA some expert advice.

    While I am familiar with the brand name, Imagtion, I do not know what their business model is. Some companies, like Memorex buy the cheapest blank media of that day, and rebrand it, with their logo. Others do the same thing. Poor quality blank media can cause all sorts of issues, such as hanging and skipping - hence my question.
    I would do a test burn with high-quality blank media, such as Falcon, Taiyo-Yuden or Verbatim, and then burn about 4x on the speed. Test to see if that disc plays, without the skipping and hangling.
    Good luck,

    Do you have any capture cards in the computer? For example, Blackmagic, Aja, Matrox, CineForm, etc.
    If so, it's software might be causing the problem. Go to "Programs And Features" in the Vista Control Panel to remove the software for the capture card. Restart the computer and then try again.
    Did you install any plug-ins for Premiere?
    If so, remove them and see if the problem goes away.
    Also, where are you saving your projects? Try saving one to your Desktop and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, then it could be a problem with your save location.

  • IBM T-42 Freezes when I try to DL or Play Video...wh​en I have 3 windows open

    I have 4 IBM T series laptops, 3 T-40's and ONE T-42...The issue I have is with the T-42 ..2379RFU , it randomly freezes and from studying the problem I find it is for instance when using IE and I select to DL some software ..there is 2 windows that pop up on top of each other immediately...in addition the the original window I use to browse to find the DL...One window says ofcourse ...RUN...SAVE...or Cancel I believe...can't remember what the window under it says but as soon as these windows pop up the computer freezes...and I can't do ANYTHING...CTRL-ALT-DELETE or anything else...all I can do is press the power button to do a hard shutdown of my system...Then do a restart...NOW when using Firefox I can DL...but it STILL freezes when I watch certain videos online...In addition it freezes when trying to use Windows Live Mail...It's like when a certain amount of memory is used it freezes the puter ...and I've watched the performance using the Task Manager when this happens and EVERYTHING freezes and CPU usage goes to 100%...but it also does on my other laptops but they don't freeze up...SOOOOOoo this is what I've done so far...I've ran diagnostics on as much as I know how to...and everything is fine...I've swapped the hardrive with one of the other laptops I have and still the same thing...I've swapped all the memory, swapped the wireless card and still the same thing...I changed the Modem...lol...still the same thing...The T-42 doesn't seem real HOT and the fan works fine, I pushed EVERYTHING and move the puter when it freezes and still nothing...Swapped the keyboard even...thinking about swapping the Navigation pad and buttons with one of the other puters but haven't yet...I've done every update I can possibly find, I've uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, IE, Firefox, Disabled my Anti-Virus and Firewall, uninstalled drivers and re-installed, Disabled the Hardware acceleration...Updated the BIOS and checked for other updates...and STILL the same result...I have NEVER had a problem with ANY of my other T-series latops...and the only thing I can see that is different from the T-40 and the T-42 in terms of general visionary stuff is one has an ATI Mobility RADEON 7500 Monitor and the other has a ATI Mobility RADEON 9000 for a monitor....Most everything else as far as Drivers and updates are the same...And I'm running XP Professional on all of the laptops, so I figure it's a hardware problem...since I swapped out the HD's with the same result...This T-42 works great for an old cheap laptop and I can't afford a NEW one NOW...That's why I have these...I have like $200 in all 4 laptops because they are OLD but work prefectly except for this ONE...1.8 ghz processor, 60 gb HD, I gb memory which is fine for what I need in a laptop I have desktops for everything else I do.....anyone have any ideas?...

    Hey.
    Since you seem to have tried mostly everything, apart from exchanging the motherboard, I'd say you have at least one option left, and that's to reinstall Windows from the recovery partition / recovery discs. That might solve the problem, if this is due to a software-error. General updates etc. might not work to fix such problems, but a clean install should.
    If that doesn't help, I'd say the problem is somewhere either with the CPU or the motherboard, maybe bad connections or some sort of malfunction that prevents the computer from coming out of the 100% CPU usage.

  • Bridge CS4 freezes when I open a folder with avi files

    Whenever I navigate to a folder with avi files, Bridge CS4 freezes. I have tried resetting my preferences, changing the file associations, but it still hangs. Both Windows and Bridge are set up to associate avi files with VLC Media Player. The files open and play just fine in VLC. I am running CS4 on a Win XP Pro machine. It used to not be a problem and I could play avi files in Bridge. I'm not sure when the problem started since I don't shoot a lot of video. Any ideas?

    Thx for that im gonna try it....but is there a way to do it without using toolbar or cmd-c...? i mean using only the mouse?why does it have to highlight the file even though i click a bit next to it....?using icon view i can right click next to the folder and i wont have a problem but with list view that i prefer using it will highlight the whole row.....and i dont find free space to right click cause i got many files

  • Late-2009 iMac elusive freezing when uploading video

    Hey All,
    So I am currently experiencing a freezing problem when I try to upload youTube videos through firefox and/or safari after... a checkered past. Hopefully this isn't TMI, just being thurough to save your valuable effort.
    iMac Details:
    21.5-inch, Late 2009
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3
    ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB
    OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    I am using bootCamp with windows 7
         -fyi i did have w7 virtual RAM manually defined (properly or so I thought) and have since reverted to cpu defined vram.
    Funny part is when I was exporting a video from iMovie while simultaniously mixing tracks on virtualDJ while playing a youtube video, everything was fine. Now the history...
    1. Trouble started when I was getting the 'click of death' and the 'beach ball of death' seemingly at random while running various apps one at a time.
         -I reset my PRAM
         -I was and am still totally unable to run AHT (superdrive is dead and all key comands do nothing)
         -I verified disk permissions (there were a lot of errors so I repaired them)
         -I verified the disk (it passed), I repaired the disk even though it didn't need it.
         -I downloaded, installed and ran MemTest. (passed 100%)
         -I determined that I might have a kernal extension problem so I deleted Virtual Box and that seemed to calm things down... for awhile.
    2. So there was peace in the galaxy for a couple months until after running in my windows partition I tried multiple times and could not boot into my OS X partition.
         -I again reset PRAM
         -I again verified and repaired disk permissions (all went fine, tho agian there were many permission errors)
         -I again verified and repaired the disk (even though it passed)
         -I safe booted, it worked
         -I booted into OS X, it worked.
    3. Now, I can restart OS X whenever I want but hard freezing (finder is not responding and refuses to relaunch) still occures when uploading video to youTube having tried multiple browsers.
         -Before when it froze Activity Monitor showed no disk activity, and plenty of realMemory was available.
         -I haven't actaully gotten a read form Activity Monitor when trying to upload. I will tho.
         -I have been unable to find any 'memory leaks' tho I may not understand how to track this
         -My bootcamp partion is totally fine and I've since allowed the CPU to define vram
         -Memtest just now passed all tests.
         -I have had to do hard restart several times while trying different internet browsers.
         -My OS X partition has 344.22 GB free of 1.35 TB.
         -I have no external hardware plugged in, only a USB keyboard and mouse.
    So, a few questions...
         1. Did my manual addition of Virtual RAM on my bootcamp partition mess up my ram? if so why does it still test okay?
         2. Do I have to run memtest as the root user to get a real read on my ram? I haven't done this, yet.
         3. Why do I still get freezes while uploading video even tho when I try to max out my memory usage everything runs fine, no freezing?
         4. Is my hardrive messed even tho it passes checks when I'm booted to an external recovery drive?
         5. Is Apple trying to tell me they want more of the money I don't have anymore because I bought this thing 5 years ago?
    Ya'll are heros for even trying. You knew that. I'm just reminding you.

    So, I've been attempting to solve the issue by using diskUtility to erase free space on my mac and bootcamp partitions to identify bad drive sectors. Unfortunately erasesing free space did not work after defrag on the bootcamp partition. It simply crashed.
    Intitally on the OS X partition I did successfully erase free space and that improved all problems for about 3 days. Then freezes became random and increased in regularity. So I moved about 500GB of data to an external drive (the important stuff) and tried to erase free space again to make it identify bad sectors. So I've tried both booting into my external and recovery drive and having the utility erase free space. Both atempts failed when the utility simply gave up after 2hrs and would no longer recognize the drive. I'm booted into my mac partition right now and am gettimg more random freezing with 2/3 of the drive free.
    I'm resigned to claiming warranty and replacing the drive after upgrading it about 2yrs ago but can't find any real info on what my model and serial number are. All info that I've found does not seem to direct me to the correct information as I've tried entering it into Seagate's website and it will not accept my input. Any advice on claiming on my Seagate warranty and possibly what the model and serial number should look like? I can't seem to find the right numbers.

  • CP5 Freezing when editing video over multiple slides

    Captivate continuously freezes when I'm working with a video that I've spread over multiple slides.
    This is a Windows 7 computer.  I've cleared my cache incase that had something to do with that.
    Any help would be apreciated.

    Which version?
    Some ideas: background music for the file, to stop on slides 1-2 and 21-23.
    VO as slide auido on slides where wanted.
    For slide 2: object audio which can play parallel with the VO (see http://blog.lilybiri.com/audio-objects-control-them)
    For slide 21-23: object audio with object displayed for the rest of the project, and hidden on entering slide 24

  • CS4 freezes when building Blu-Ray

    Trying to build an ISO for a Blu-Ray project in Encore CS4 and whenever it transcodes the large file (6GB) it freezes when less than 1/4 of the way in. I have two files both exactly the same codec (H.264 1920x1080) and the first one is way smaller and happily transcodes, but the second one doesn't, but the file doesn't appear corrupt in anyway, it plays through fully on my system.
    I'm currently trying to transcode through the program before building it but it's just frozen again.
    Please help, I need this blu-ray asap.

  • CS4 Freezes When Deleting Files

    I've had CS4 now for a few weeks and I'm finding that whenever I try to delete a .htm file, the program freezes. I've tried the idea of deleting that cache file in the configurations folder. I've even renamed my configuration folder so a new one would be rebuilt. Same thing with the preferences folder. Any ideas on why this is occurring?

    I'm also getting frequent freezes when I try to open a folder in DW. I click on the little + sign and it just locks up. Very, very frustrating. I just upgrading from DW 8 to CS4 and right now, I'm instability like I never experienced in DW 8. Please help.

  • CS4 freezes when editing audio.

    Hello All,
    I have a client that has a workstation that freezes when she edits audio in CS4.  I have seen it happen and what it does is it keeps playing the audio but Adobe CS4 freezes until the audio is done playing or when she kills CS4.  I have reinstalled Adobe CS4, talked to Adobe technical support, reloaded her workstation with Vista 64 bit, put in another hard drive for the page file, and ran through every troubleshooting document I could find on the forums and Adobes website.  Her workstation is a Core2Quad 2.4GHz and 4GB of ram with Vista 64 bit.
    This is an on-going issue that needs to be solved ASAP and any help would be appreciated from other users.  I do not want to resort to calling Adobe technical support as I was not satisfied with their knowledge of their product.
    Thank you,
    Brian
    Edit:  Harm Millaard chime in if you have any suggestions.  You seem to be very helpful on these forums.  Also, you have a very impressive computer setup and props to you for putting it together.

    While I feel that the Assets, or the Project, are probably the culprits here, you might want to look over this ARTICLE on "tuning up" one's NLE computer. Might be something useful in it - if not now, then for later.

  • Satellite A660-07S keeps freezing when streaming videos

    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A660-07S laptop just recently, from the begining it started freezing when I am using video applications, such as Skype or Youtube etc... The freezing happens randomly and the only way to get out of it is by long pressing the on switch(forced off). I returned the Laptop many times to Toshiba authorised technician and we have done almost everything from Reinstalling software and operating system, replacing the mother board, graphic card, memory etc... and the problem is still happening. The laptop is great and does the job very well except for this random freezing which is very annoying and has no way of explaining why it is happening.
    I am thinking maybe there is a flaw in the design of the system and the components do not work together very well. I have also read about few other issues with Satelite Laptops which freezes. I use other laptop and I am an IT Specialist. Never had such a problem before and cannot explain why this Laptop in particular freezes. Anyone can shed the light on what could be the problem so Technician and Users can maybe fix this issue.
    As I said we tried every thing you would do to eliminate the problem and nothing has worked so far.
    Thanks in advance to any replies or suggestions.

    Hey,
    Im really wondering that your notebook doesnt work properly with video applications. Friend of me has the same notebook and he often use video applications like Skype, Youtube, etc. Also he watches DVDs and blu-rays but not problems at all.
    He uses the preinstalled Windows version from Toshiba and everything is ok.
    In your case I would ask the authorized service provider again what they can do for you. I mean if a lot of parts were already replaced there must be a solution for your problem and if its a hardware related problem you can do nothing and you need professional help.
    Maybe the ASP can get in contact with Toshiba directly or something else Just talk a little bit with them, Im sure the problem can be fixed.
    Sorry that I cant say more but the A660 of my friend is working perfect.

  • Computer freezes when watching videos (or video calls) since I bought a new router linksys E1200

    Hello!
    Since I've bought a new Cisco router last summer,, a Linksys E1200 (v.1 updated...) (always in the wireless mode), my laptop (Sony, Vaio VGN-NW110D) freezes when I stream videos online or when I use skype video calls. It sometimes freezes for a few minutes (in that case it's just really extremely slow and it sounds like a satanic robot), and then comes back (but does it again a few minutes later. Or sometimes, and this is more frequent with skype video calls, it completely freezes, and I have to reboot the hard way...
    This never happened to me before and I've been watching videos and video skyping for years. I have windows 7, service pack 1 (32 bits) now . I have windows 7 now, since about the same time I bought the router. But what makes me think its related to the router is that when I'm at work, or at my parents, or sisters, or boyfriend's house, this problem does NOT occure.... Do you think you could help me? This is getting really annoying! I would really appreciate it! :-) Thanks a lot! 
    ps-Oh and I don't know if this information could be relevant, but this does not happen when I make videos calls with skype on my iphone

    You can try the following combination of settings:-
    A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
              1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
              2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
             3] Lower the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) from 1500 to 1400 or less (usually found on your routers main/ basic setup page). Here is the link for determining and setting up the correct MTU size: http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=80&re...
    B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the user name field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
