DONT PREVIEW FILES IN AUDIO SUITE

This will cause this lovely app to crash - just though I'd warn people trying to use audio suite with logic 7.2.1 -

fair enough, didn't assume you were complaining.. since this has been a long standing and much discussed issue, and since emagic always said that it was all due to a lack of cooperation with digidesign to implement all TDM features properly.. I guess I figured it was about time digi got pestered about it..

  • Audio rendering problem, can't export- hundreds of hours, audio preview files hundreds of gigs

    Hi,
    I'm working on a feature doc and trying to render and export about 4 hours of material. Please advise.
    Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0 (65) Build
    Mac Pro 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel
    16GB 1066 MHz DDr3
    OSX 10.8.5
    The sequence is mixed media, this is a doc with numerous cameras and formats. Most of the footage is in multicam clips. I am able to play back OK and the video rendered in about 4 hours. Fine. But when I try and export audio, the process of generating preview files for export is unbelievably slow. I let it render for 4 hours and it got to 0.5% and created 350 gigs of preview files, larger than the picture files!!! There must be a problem with my settings or the software because this cannot be right. This is my first premiere project (after 10 years of FCP) and would greatly appreciate any advice.
    I have tried:
    cleaning the media cache
    starting a new project with just the export sequence
    restarting PPCC and the computer of course
    rendering and exporting smaller sections of the timeline (ten minute chunks)
    making a new sequence with multitrack audio instead of stereo playback. This allowed me to render the audio in about 1 hour- great! But when I tried to export (using an adobe preset for vimeo) it crashed. When I re-opened the project it is now back to saying it will take about 300 hours to render the same audio.
    I've tried flattening the multicam, but this removes a large number of the audio files completely from the sequence. The selections I made in the multicam tracks in the sequence are not reflected in what is left of the flattened audio.

    <<I'm speculating, but I doubt Apple would be able to provide Keynote so cheaply, or at all, if it were not for its successes in iPhones, iPods, and other major undertakings that require the full-time attention of its brightest and most dedicated people. >>
    Good point. However, coupled with the fact that the Macintosh platform is more widely used for production of both audio and video in the entertainment industry than the "other" system, this cries-out the fact that audio is an important element of +some aspect+ of Apple's product focus.
    Thus, it remains "a puzzlement" (to quote Oscar Hammerstein) that Apple has not paid more heed to the audio facilities and capabilities in Keynote - despite the long-time, repeated pleadings of many of us in this (and the Keynote Feedback) Forum.
    Many of the problems that we are encountering and about which we are complaining have been known since the very first issue of Keynote. None has been addressed in subsequent releases. In fact, with respect to the problems of exporting Keynote presentations to other formats, some features have grown more problematic and less reliable - admittedly, not always as a function of Keynote (i.e. the problems with QuickTime).
    As has been stated previously in this and other threads in this Forum, raging against Apple is futile and frustration is self-defeating. All we can do is continue to assist each other with "tips and tricks" in this Forum and to make our concerns known to Apple via the Keynote Feedback Forum.
    Good luck to all.

  • Preview Files Suddenly Go Missing, Render Entire Work Area Crashes Premiere, Audio Drops Out

    I opened a Premiere Pro project I was working on earlier today and it said it couldn't find the preview files, searching my system found that the files didn't exist.
    Rendering my entire work area brings up the "render window" but nothing happens, if I press cancel Premiere freezes.
    Started getting a strange situation error ( 26 ::139 ) in After Effects at the same time that Premiere lost the preview files and the crashes started happening. It disallows me from editing any dynamically linked projects. In Premiere the DL's just show up as "Media Pending" clips indefinitely. Importing the compositions in AE into a new project didn't fix the issue either.
    The three problems above started happening all at the same time, was working through a color grade using Red Giant software when it started happening.
    Also audio drops out on playback randomly in Premiere Pro, tried various audio drivers and hardware, none entirely eliminate this problem. Sometimes the audio will cut out and "burst in" distorted very loudly, which is disturbing, even when my work area is rendered. This problem has been around since I started using PP CC.
    I can provide more info soon or if people want more info pls let me know, I'm very tired and I need to get this issue resolved for tomorrow, in the mean time hopefully someone can point out a general fix for these errors or knows a few workarounds. Tried reinstalling PP and AE, no luck.
    Computer is a Windows 7, 64-bit. i7 950, 12gb RAM, GeForce GTX 650, programs installed on a separate internal HDD, media files on another internal HDD. But these same issues (minus the audio dropouts) was also cropping up on a core 2 duo 13'' macbook pro.
    Regards,
    Zach

    Hi Arjun, thank you for your help.
    Though that didn't work either. At least the timeline will playback but as soon as I try to render my work region or export any video Premiere freezes.
    I removed all dynamic linked files as well, that didn't seem to change anything.
    Something I noticed -- the render bar on the timeline that is usually yellow for edited clips that have no FX on them is all red, nothing is yellow (or green). This is a 4 minute long edit on a music video, nothing extraordinary.
    I tried creating a new project and dragging a few clips in and editing them, everything went normally and I could render and export the clips. Just any rendering done on any version of this music video edit I'm working on crashes the program.
    Also recently had a problem where I opened the music video project and the song that I imported (.mp3) all of a sudden has no waveform or sound coming from it. Dragging it back into the project doesn't fix it either. Workaround was using a .wav copy of the song.

  • Prev "previewed" files in 10.6 dont scale via "show icon preview" function

    1. use DropIcon 3.0.2 under a lower version of OSX than 10.6
    2. import your "preview built" files into 10.6 (notice also that files that have a preview built into them are larger in file size than the same file which doesnt have it)
    3. scale a folder full of images to for example - 180 px squared
    4. notice that 10.6 cant build a new preview based on the new size
    how to "show icon preview" files which have been previously "preview built" by apps like DropIcon 3.0.2 ?
    This would be very useful....
    TIA

    You may not think of icons as 512x512, but Apple now does. The transition started in Leopard, and is now complete--pretty much all of Apple's icons will now go to 512pixels in the various and sundry places they are displayed, from window views for Icon, CoverFlow, and the preview pane of Column view, to the GetInfo preview, to Spotlight results displayed in icon view.
    As to your own custom thumbnails: if, as mentioned previously, you used Photoshop with the option to save a custom thumbnail, or you used a dedicated program to save a custom thumbnail for an image file, then those custom thumbnails were added to the image file as a resource fork. WAY back such custom thumbnails were 32x32 pixels. In the more recent past they were 128x128. Indeed, that is still the size used by Photoshop when it adds a custom thumb.
    If the Finder is displaying any view that shows a preview of the file it will either display the custom thumb that is part of the file, if one is present, or draw its own preview if no custom thumb is embedded in the file. And if it uses the custom thumbs they will NOT scale upwards in any pretty way, beyond whatever their original size was--they'll just get pixalated. The advantage, if you don't need to be able to scale up to 512, is that the display of a folder full of images with custom thumbs is instantaneous, while a folder full of images without custom thumbs may take a noticeable amount of time for all of the previews to be drawn (you can see them appearing as you scroll the folder). The disadvantage to custom thumbs, as you have discovered, is that they don't scale well. If you want to be able to scale the preview thumbnails in various Finder views, you need to remove the custom thumbnails you have added, either via the save option in Photoshop, or with your third party program. You can't tell Finder to ignore them: if they are present Finder assumes you want it to use them, rather than its own preview function.

  • Preview file rendering halfs the resolution

    Hi,
    I have a problem with Premiere Pro preview files: their horizontal resolution is only half of the set resolution. This is seen in the Program window both when playing back and stopped (playback resolution and paused resolution are both Full). If the clip hasn't been rendered for preview, the resolution is full. Just when rendering the preview, the horizontal resolution gets half. I'm using Apple ProRes as te preview codec (I do not want to use MPEG for its bad quality). Why is this happening? I need to have the full resolution for playback with ProRes codec, but how can I get the full resolution? Please, help!
    My Sequence Settings are (for instance):
    Settings
    Editing Mode: Custom
    Timebase: 25.00 frames/second
    Video
    Frame Size: 1920 x 1080 16:9
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
    Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
    Display Format: 25fps Timecode
    Audio
    Sample Rate 48000 Hz
    Display Format: Audio Samples
    Video Previews
    Preview File Format: QuickTime (Desktop) / (GammaCorrection: Automatic)
    Codec: Apple ProRes 422
    Width: 1920
    Height: 1080
    Maximum Bit Depth (not checked)  Maximum Render Quality (not checked)

    It looks to me like an "aliasing" problem.  I am suggesting you search ( google, speak to other users using the same workflow you are, etc. ) about " aliasing " problems with your display of rendered pro res 422 files.  If you focus on 'aliasing' issue, instead of calling it half resolution and so on, it probably will address your problem faster because people with that problem will know what you mean.
    I posted this earlier and gives a hint what I am referring to.
    http://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1007725
    I am wondering if in the render of the source ( pro res 422 render ) you are losing that color information indicated by the " 2 ".  As you dont experience problem using animation and pro res 444, that is my guess.. that you are losing the color info...hence the problem of aliasing.
    What blows my mind though , is that you don't see the aliasing when you go to AE with the same rendered file.  That is just downright weird.
    I don't know if you want to actually solve the problem ( find out why this is happening really )... or if you are just fixated on blaming the software for something you want to work differently.  I think solving the problem may involve doing some more steps on your part.  For example, have you taken the rendered file ( or ftp to someone etc ) to another computer like yours... to see if they also see the same thing ?
    If they don't see the same thing, if it is OK on their computer, then maybe it's your graphic card or graphic card 'settings' causing the problem.
    Have you spoken to anyone at an apple store about this ? They may have heard of this problem from other users... and if you have a store nearby, you can take the rendered file there and see if it looks OK on their computer.
    I do wish you luck finding out whats going on, and am personally interested in what you find out ( which is why I keep looking at this thread ). I know lots of people who use pro res and also use it on motion picture 'sets' while shooting... at the DIT station or at video playback, to look at basic playbacks ( usually with some basic color correction etc , like rec709 or whatever )...So what you want to do is actually being done, but I just moved to MN from nyc and dont work in movie biz anymore and dont want to get involved with hooking you up via ftp to some local 600 people.
    First step I think is for you to keep an open mind and start dealing with the aliasing issue and try to see if others see the same thing on similar machine as yours.
    Or else think of some other way to solve the problem... cause nobody else I know has ever seen this or I would have heard of it I think.
    Also, this is a users forum, not adobe technical support... have you called them ?  So please be patient with users here trying to help you, as we are just people who try to help when we can and don't work for adobe.
    Thanks and good luck, and please let us know what you find out cause this problem is very weird.

  • Preview in Finder doesn't work. Doesn't preview movies or audio.

  • In cs6, my preview files are not saving on my Dynamic Link AE comps when i reopen the project

    i cant figure out the life of me what seems to be the problem
    This has been going on for a long time for me, dont know if anybody else has this problem, but for me, when i render out the whole entire sequence, everthing has the green bar, i save, i quit and reopen, the red bar appears and i have to re render all the Dynamic link comps again! its really annoying, i feel like its just collecting more space every time i do this
    Any fix for this, and here are my specs

  • Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets.

    Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.

    Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
    Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing.  I tried selecting the DRM
    and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some.  Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
    Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v.  I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file.  Then exported as an .mov.  I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes. 
    You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file.  Does this make sense?  I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

  • Preview files folder

    a folder of media encoder preview files is created in my documents- adobe- media encoder
    this folder is getting bigger, I think every time I'm using media encoder to export my projects
    at the moent it's 30 gigs after less than a month using CC
    I need to know if I can delete this files? and I need to redirect them to my D drive or even better not create preview files

    Thank you for your answer.
    Trouble is I know how to clean the Cache but it was the Preview Files that were the problem.
    Additionally, I have some Cache Files in the location below which are taking up 23GB
    User>Library>Application Support>Adobe>Common>Media Cache Files
    There is also a folder here called Media Cache.
    I am confused becuase I have set my Media Cache Files and Media Cache in Premiere Pro, After Effects, Media Encoder to all be the same and none of them point to this location? How do I clean this folder? Is it only present from a previous versions of the applications and simply not been removed when the programs were uninstalled? A lotof the files here seem to relate to audio files and .pek files?
    Really grateful for your help on this one.

  • Re-Linking rendered preview files?

    I had to move an entire project from one drive to another. All contents were moved in the same folder structure including the preview files.  Now the rendered preview files dont link up to the project. How can I re-link thses files?
    Thanks
    Ben

    Thanks Jim, but Premiere did not ask for the file location when it started up.
    Harm, so you are saying I need to re-render everything?. Seems like Adobe would have a way to make this work.
    Anyone from Adobe have a comment on this?
    Thanks

  • Bridge CS5 thinks mpg files are audio-only

    CS5 Production Premium.
    But when I installed I wasn't sure this was going to be the "final home", so I decided to install as a trial with the intent to either move/reinstall later, or just plug in the serial number.
    As a "trial", I quickly discovered that none of the apps recognized MPEG-2 files correctly. Yes, I failed to note that in the readme, but once I encounterer the problem I knew what was wrong.
    Added the serial number, and as I restarted the various apps most of them noted the missing codecs and installed them for me. So now, all of the apps properly recognize .mpg files.
    Except Bridge. No matter what I do, Bridge still thinks all the .mpg files are audio only. The main list shows the thumbnail as expected, but Preview thinks it's an audio file and only plays the audio.
    This is not a critical thing, because I don't really use Bridge much for my video files. But short of reinstalling, is there some way to perhaps "nudge" Bridge into properly recognizing the .mpg?
    Brad.

    I am having the same problem. Installed purchased copy of Premiere Pro. Did not do trial first.
    Any ideas or is this a bug?

  • How to open or place Illustrator 6 files in Creative Suite

    I have dozens of Illustrator 6 files created 1996-1997, both .eps and .ai, that I suddenly need to access after all these years. I have tried both opening them as well as placing them in CS 2, 3, 4, and 5 to no avail. I get a message that "the file is in an unknown format and cannot be opened" in Illustrator and Photoshop. In InDesign, I get "Cannot place this file. No filter found for requested operation." No luck with Acrobat or Distiller, either. I have tried changing extensions from .eps to .ai and vice-versa. No luck. Can't open them in Preview, Graphic Converter, or Inkscape, either.
    Does anyone know of a way to get these ancient files into Creative Suite? Perhaps a plug-in or third-party software? Anything? I am on Mac OS 10.6.5. Thanks.

    I will look into drop box as well I have a paying YouSendIt account but drop box might be good as well.
    Back to the OP's quest, were these files created by you or abtained via e-mail?
    were they ever stored on an external drive or perhaps a drive thart went belly up?
    Were they ever record to removable storage, I suspect they have goten corrupt because of hardware issues.

  • SSD for Media Cache and Preview files ...bad idea?

    Hi guys!
    Today I killed my 3rd SSD.I used both of them for store Media cache and preview files with Premiere Pro and After Effects CS5.5.
    1st was OCZ Vertex 3 240GB than I replaced to a new one.After few weeks later the 2nd OCZ Vertex 3 dead.
    And now Corsair Force 3 is gone.I dont worry because all of them still in warranty period, and I havebackup from my projects.
    Just asking maybe these SSD-s is not stable for this thing? I mean often write and read datas?
    Maybe better to replace to a simple HDD (maybe 10000rpm)?
    Or just I was that lucky guy who catch 3 defected ssd-s in the last six months..:-(

    No, I don't think that you killed them; the OCZ Vertex 3 series, and many other SSDs using the same Sandforce controller, are having way too many issues where Adobe is not being used at all.
    Do check your firmware on these drives too; there have been lots of updates trying to make these seemingly seriously flawed drives work more reliably.

  • CC 2014 -- Preview File Locations

    Anyone else find that it's impossible to get changes to video/audio preview files locations  in the scratch disk dialogue to hold?  Changes appear to take effect, but upon re-loading project, they revert to the original state.
    Also, changes to these often precipitate crashes.
    [Please choose only a short description for the thread title.]

    Is there a fix to the problem raised in the original question.  I am using 2014 PP on windows 7 and on all of my projects the preview files are always placed with the project irrespective of how many times I change the information in Project Manager.  It will not show up immediately, it appears it has to wait till the next auto save.
    It very frustrating, I never use previews and I have keep deleting dozens of empty redundant directories that clutter my project folders.
    I would just like the program to do as it is told!

  • Deleting Preview Files

    Sometimes when things seem too easy they make me wary:  I need to free up some space on my C: Drive.  Adobe Premier created a folder on my Desktop called Adobe Premier Pro Preview Files; from older projects.  Can I simply delete these files to free up space and re-render them if I should ever need to do so?
    Thank You!
    Tim S.

    yes.
    also you can clean your media database...  might save a litte bit of hd space...not a lot...as databases dont take up a ton of space...
    you can also go through your sratch disk premiere directories ( media cache etc ) and see if anything with large byte count is there from projects you dont use anymore..
