CS5.5.1 and Blackmagic - timeline freeze - a solution!

As you can read here and in other forums, the Premiere Pro CS 5.5.1 update causes problems with some Blackmagic configurations. In my case the timeline freezes on clips with effects dropped on - these clips are not shown or rendered anymore. Sometimes PPro quits and reported system error on one of the Blackmagic plugins. This all happend after the update to PPro CS5.5.1.
Here's my config:
PPro CS5.5.1
Win7 Pro SP1
Nvidia Quadro 2000 (driver 275.89)
Blackmagic Intensity Pro (driver 8.6)
Now my solution:
After a day of try and error I've found out, that the file 'display.dll' in PPro's program directory causes the problems. I backed it up and then overwrote it by the file that comes  with the 5.5.0 version. After that I haven't had any problems anymore. I cannot say why it works, but it works (for me).
So if anyone having trouble with Blackmagic and 5.5.1 update, give this a try. But don't forget to backup the 5.5.1 version of display.dll, because maybe this bug will be fixed with a future Blackmagic driver update...

If you're so inclined, please add your voice below...

  • CS5.5 Master Collection/Lion/iMac freezes after sleep

    In brief, looked at all the discussions, tried deleting the appropriate plists and so on, but I still have problems with photoshop, illustrator and indesign crashing/freezing randomly after I wake my iMac from sleep mode.
    Everything is up to date, drivers, scripts etc. I have had Lion and CS5.5 co-existing happily for a while problem free, its only been the last 3 weeks that I have noticed the problem. If anyone has any solutions, Im all ears.
    Steve

    Wow I have had a couple of days off and I see the discussion has advanced. I will upload a crash report next time it happens. Looking over the responses, Suitcase Fusion 3 is another culprit I have suspected of bringing on the freeze. Also yes it is mainly with Indesign and Illustrator that the freeze happens but Photoshop has frozen too but not as much. A typical scenario would be I leave my desk for 10 min or so and come back, wake my screen from sleep via the keyboard, only to find that one of the programs I was just using let say Indesign would be frozen with the spinning beach ball of doom. I would then command tab to illustrator only to see the same thing has happened to illustrator. Now Photoshop in this case would be a 1 in 4 chance of the same thing happenning at the same time. Now the unusual thing is that it doesn't always happen. I could go for a couple of days with no problems. I use the programs quite equally in a given day. Ive just got back into the habit of saving every time I get out of my seat, like back in the old days. Over the next week Ill monitor the behaviors of the programs and report it. As I am writing this I have just received an Email from Extensis saying there is an upgrade to suitcase fusion 3 14.2.0 with a whole lot of fixes. I'll give that a go as well.
    As far as vagueness goes, the main use of these programs are for creative minds who have their minds fixed on creative problems and solutions. To take your mind out of that zone and back into an accounting/systematic/diagnostic frame of mind is sometimes hard. I find just navigating through to the right place on the Adobe site's 'help section' frustrating enough for the brain. Ill try harder to be more thorough in future.

  • Video in Timeline freezes

    My video in the timeline freezes. It continues to play the audio, and will pick back up... but why is my video freezing in certain parts of the timeline.
    If I export to avi.  it plays just fine.
    I just upgraded my processor, because I thought my dual core 2 processor 2.6 wasn't enough...but that didn't solve the problem.
    Computer:
    Intel Quad Core 2
    2.83 ghz  3.50 gb
    NVIDIA GeForce 880GT
    Asus P5N-E SLI motherboard

    That is a very good plan. It could well be that the freezing could be caused by the hard disk bottleneck. Your new CPU may no longer be the major bottleneck, even with AVCHD material. Did you have a look at these guides:
    How to get the best from a PC? Some guides...
    Maybe it will give you some ideas.

  • Question about FCP Studio QT7 and Blackmagic Decklink

    I am capturing video with a blackmagic card. The compressor setting and the timeline are set to 10 bit uncompressed. If I view the captured material in quicktime, it states that the codec is "," and give me a resolution of 720x486 (704x486). Does anyone know why it is not seeing the codec? Also what does the 704 resolution mean? Thanks!

    Weird. Is this the first time you've used this setup or has it worked before.
    Make sure you've got all the BM codecs loaded correctly.
    Usually the issue is your "easy setup" doesn't match your timeline settings.
    Also, unless you're creating alot of graphics and animation you're not going to get anything else out of your video by editing in 10bit.
    8bit video upresed to 10bit still equals 8bit quality pretty much.

  • I can not get my iPad to mirror with Apple TV. When I toggle to mirror the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. The iPad iso is up to date

    I can not get my iPad to mirror on Apple TV. When I toggle the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. Have updated the iOS to latest settings and also updated the settings on the Apple TV

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)

  • Trackpad and Keyboard intermittent Freezing

    My trackpad and keyboard are freezing at random intervals for random spans of time (usually for a few seconds). I havent downloaded any recent software that has cause this to my knowledge. Any help would be wonderful because even typing this is frustrating.

    I just took delivery of a new MacBook a couple of days ago. When I started it up I let it restore all of my user files, applications, and everything from a Time Machine backup. That worked fine, but now Time Machine wants to perform the initial, lengthy backup on a new machine. I find that when that is running, the trackpad and keyboard both freeze and I can't do anything. Strangely, if I plug a Logitech travel mouse into one of the USB ports, that is able to drive the mouse cursor. The keyboard is still frozen until I turn the backup off though.
    I'm going to plug the MacBook directly into the Time Capsule to get the backup to go faster, but I still wonder: is there a way to reduce the priority of the Time Machine process so I can use the MacBook while the backup is running?

  • I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.

    I own a late 2009 Macbook Pro, and it keeps freezing after OSX Lion installation.  I will post my computer's 'specs' below.  I installed Lion, from Snow Leopard, through the App store.  The first week, it worked like a dream, and was loving my brand new computer, or so it seemed.  I then began to run into problems, and I can't confirm this 100%, but I believe it was after I updated from 10.7.1, to 10.7.2. 
    The freezes are sporatic at best, and cannot be narrowed down to one app.  I googled the issue about two weeks ago, and found a fix involving a temporary log-in, verifying the disk, restarting the computer holding CMD+R, and repairing the disk from there.  That fixed the problem.  For about three or four days.  From there I brought my laptop to Best Buy, where I purchased the computer (start the groans, my dad wanted the accidental damage, and he was paying, there was no argument).  My warranty there was still good, but all they were offering was to check my hard-drive, and possibly ship it out.  That would not be good for me, as I am a High School student, who works online. 
    So I then decided to go to the Apple store, see what they said.  They said a bunch of people had this problem, it would cost a lot to fix, as I would need a new Logic Board.  This did not make any sense to me, as I knew it was Lion's fault, so why would they not make the L-2009MBP Logic Board compatible, and why are only a few people having this problem, well a lot more than a few, but I mean not everyone. 
    So I asked a friend about it, and we decided to run a back up, and erase the computer, and re-install Lion.  Figuring maybe my data was corrupted during install.  This helped for a day or two, and happened again.  So this time, we backed up only files (music, pics, documents, etc.,) and did a fresh install.  I got my computer back last night.  Now, I am not saying that didn't help.  Previously I would have frozen about 18 times well writing this, but I have not frozen once (hopefully I didn't just jinx myself).  I have gone from about one freeze every 10-15 minutes (sometimes worse), to about one every 1-3 hours.  Which, let's be honest is still a lot. 
    So, before I just decide to go and revert to Snow Leopard on my merry way, I ask, do any of you have any other ideas?  Or guarenteed fixes?  I know a guarentee is a hard thing to ask for, but I am desperate, my teachers are getting angry with me for not sending work, and I know this would help a lot of people.  Thank you to those who read through my whole spiel, and thank you to those who will help me!
    [Ps, while I am somewhat of a noob, I know my way around a computer, so any help, or knowledge you could bestow upon me is awesome.  Especially DIY fixes.  (if your only advice is, don't buy a mac at Best Buy, don't bother commenting)]
    Macbook Pro

    Graphics:  NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
    Software:  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2 (11C74)

    Once it is downloaded you need to restart the computer if it does not restart automatically. When it next starts up you should note a progress bar appearing below the Apple logo. When done the computer will restart once more. The new firmware should now be installed.

  • I updated to Safari 6.1 and now it freezes when opened

    Yesterday I updated to Safari 6.1 and now it freezes when opened, although the overall system stays up.  I updated to the latest Java and iTunes 11.1.2 at the same time. When I open Safari now, it pauses for a few seconds without going to the home page and then I get the spinning beach ball.  I get two messages:  One says that the plug-in for SplashID Safe has not been tested with this version of Safari (a message that I had been getting before the update and never caused a problem).  The other message says, "Crash Protection  It appears that Safari didn't quit properly.  Do you want Glims to re-open your tabs anyway?"  It gives me a choice to click "Cancel" or "OK".   I have tried clicking them (before the beach ball appears) and it makes no difference.  The version of Glims I am running is out-of-date. 
    The only available crash report is almost a month old and therefore is of no help. 
    I made a back-up with SuperDuper just before updating and can reverse the update if I do it soon, but I would like to get this working. 
    I would appreciate any advice.

    Hi, ireland a. 
    I would recommend closing any open applications in multitasking and restarting the device.  If unfamiliar with multitasking, I have included a screenshot on how to process an application close. 
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Once these steps are processed, attempt to send the photo again.

  • Windows 8 - Photoshop CS5.1 crashes upon startup. Error message: "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has stopped working.A problem caused by the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

    Hello!
    I've had the student version of the Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Design Premium software for several years now.
    When I received my Windows 8 computer I installed the software with no issue.
    Last week when I tried opening Photoshop I get the following error: "Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 has stopped working.A problem caused by the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I deactivated and uninstalled the entire Creative Suite then reinstalled it. I am able to open the other programs, but still receive the same message for Photoshop.
    What can I do?

    I found the issue was with the Nik Filters I was using. The filters were messing with Photoshop's initializing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the filters and now Photoshop works like a charm.
    It appears this forum is dead?!
    Thankfully, I was able to troubleshoot on my own and figured out the problem...
