Encore CS5 Slow to Open, Switch App

Encore CS5 seems unusually slow to open a particular project file, and to switch into focus (i.e., from another running member of the suite). The file in question has half a dozen slide shows, encompassing about 350 Photoshop files. The individual Photoshop files are fairly large (e.g., >35MB). Could that be causing this unusual sluggishness?

I would convert the mp3 files to wav. There are just too many tales of problems.
I wonder if this is one of those situations where using the "run as administrator" may help.
Your current project may be corrupt. I find it easiest to start over, using the scaled down images and wav files.

  • Has anyone else found that OS 8.0 has slowed the opening of apps considerably?

    I just downloaded the latest OS for my ipad and found that it slows the opening of apps and the opening of web pages considerably. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Hi there bitsko26,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

  • Encore CS5 won't open existing or new project

    I had Encore CS5 on a mac crash while transcoding for a build, and now regardless of whether I choose the "open existing" or "create new" from the splash screen, the app crashes and gives the error [/Lassi/Main/Transcode/build/build/mac/../../../src/AMEPresetProber.cpp-265].  Are there any options other than re-installing from the original discs and doing all the updates?

    I would try the preferences reset etc.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 Slow to Open File... Enable Related Files

    Hello,
    I have a page that uses the Fancybox script and it takes Dreamweaver 50 seconds to open this page.
    This script requires jQuery, so in the head of my page I have this:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
    If I comment that line out, the page opens immediately. Also, if I disable "Enable Related Files", the page opens immediately... neither option is a good one of course.
    It's my guess that dreamweaver is retrieving and parsing the remote jQuery file which is what is slowing things down. How to I stop dreamweaver from going after remote files???
    I was hoping setting "Discover Dynacially-Related Files" to "Disabled" would do the trick, but trying that has led me to another problem that I posted in a different topic which is that Dreamweaver won't save the selection for "Discover Dynamically-Related Files". That option always returns to "Manually".
    Any ideas how to stop dreamweaver from retrieving remote files?
    Thanks!
    Peter

    Im on a mac with CS5 and I have started getting an issue with one of my sites where it is slow to open the files. I tried following the steps in the article you attached here but I can not find that preference file at  /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences. In fact, I don't have a library under /users/my name.
    I can open files fine on a different site, but for some reason just this one is giving me trouble.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 slow to open or update all files

    Hi all,
    I'm experiencing slowness when i open my webiste in CS5 and it seems take forever to save when i make any changes.  It used to take place instantly and now i cant get any work done on my website due to the load time.  Yet, many times it also stop responding and close out on me when i try to do a live view of the changes that i just made.
    Any help and suggestion will be appreciated.

    Thanks SnakEyez02 for the quick response.
    I've not change any setup on dreaweaver, yet i have start working on a new website.  I'm relative new to dreamweaver cs5, and i'm in the process of re-learning this program all over again.  I wonder could that slowness partially caused by some of the rss feed or embeded javascipt on this particular website (www.maxdailydeal.com).  I mean it's extremely painful to get any work done when dreamweaver takes forever to open files and save changes, yet the worst part when it crashes on you piror to save the changes.
    PS. using Win 7, network setup to update website on save via ftp setup on dreamweaver.
    Many thanks,

  • IMac suddenly too slow to open vital apps, web pages

    This started sometime in the last week or two. My iMac, which until now has always run smoothly, will now get the rotating beach balls when trying to open my Pro Tools sessions and other apps I need for work. I've tried many of the generally suggested remedies from others with similar problems, i.e. safe mode reboot, repair permissions, verify disk, clear cache files, clear up some HD space, etc. I suspect a third-party app I downloaded somewhere along the line is the culprit but for the life of me I cannot figure this out. Starting to get very frustrating. Here is my etrecheck report:

    Back up your Mac, if you have not already done so. To learn how to do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
    You inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for Apple's recommended solution read How to install adware.
    OS X's Gatekeeper has been disabled. This basic Mac security feature is an essential defense against malware intrusion. To re-enable it read OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support
    That Mac has been affected by MacPaw "CleanMyMac". Read below.
    It is not reasonable to expect a Mac to operate normally after using CleanMyMac. Like many ill-conceived "cleaning" utilities, it is capable of corrupting a Mac to the point that erasing it completely is the only practicable means of recovery. CleanMyMac is not the only example; it is merely popular due to marketing strategies that are as effective as they are intrusive.
    There is no practicable way to reverse the effects of having used CleanMyMac2 other than to reinstall all affected files from backups or their original sources. Its developer's uninstallation instructions are ineffective despite their recent claims to the contrary. Only MacPaw, its developer, can know the reason for that, but I can think of two possibilities: either they are purposefully leaving components behind for reasons known only to them, or they simply don't know what they're doing. Neither one of those possibilities is particularly comforting for the user.
    Reinstalling OS X alone will have no effect on either removing CleanMyMac or reversing the damage it is capable of inflicting upon a system.
    Follow the applicable recovery procedure below:
    If you have a backup that you created prior to using CleanMyMac, now is the time to use it. For Time Machine, boot OS X Recovery, and at the Mac OS X Utilities screen, choose Restore from Time Machine Backup. Choose a date preceding the installation of CleanMyMac.
    If you do not have a backup that predates the use of CleanMyMac, create one now. To do that read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac.
    The recovery procedure will require that you erase the Mac using OS X Recovery, and then create a new user whose contents will be empty. You will then be able to use Setup Assistant to migrate your essential documents including photos, music, work products and other essential files.
    When doing so, select only your previous User account and do not select "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" or "Other files and folders". De-select those choices.
    Subsequent to using Setup Assistant, you will need to reinstall the essential software you may require, once again remembering to install software only from their original sources, and omitting all non-essential software.
    To erase and install Yosemite read: OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X
    To migrate your essential documents read: OS X Yosemite: Transfer your info from a computer or storage device and follow the procedure under Transfer info from a Time Machine backup or other storage device.

  • Encore CS5 won't open after I downloaded and installed the content as directed. The top of the project opens at the bottom of the screen, freezes and is inaccessable.

    Encore was launching and working fine but,as many others before me, I had no content in the Library panel and downloaded the content files from the link Adobe provides. When I relaunched Encore it froze at the bottom of my screen. I have restarted the application, the computer, and even deleted the preferences file but Encore still freezes. I am using  a Mac, OSX  ver. 10.6.8., 6 gigs of ram. Any help would be appreciated.

    Are you sure you meant to write CS5?
    My understanding is that CS5 had a "self contained" installer that installed everything, and it was CS6 that required extra downloads from Adobe

  • Encore CS5 hangs when opening project

    I have read posts about this problem already and the solutions proposed so far seem to do with changing or erasing cache files, fiddling with Premiere Pro, etc.  Frankly, I don't understand any of that!!  Can someone suggest
    something more direct?  What happens is that when I try to open old (about 2 months old) Encore projects, they  hang at between 7 and 13 %.  It is happening with 5 different projects that all worked fine in November.   They are on two different hard drives, and in separate folders.  Thanks for the help.

    Some of the suggestions are general and may apply to  multple projects, and to causes that could affect multiple projects/drives. For example, the "run as administrator" method.
    Can you create a new project? Can you save, exit Encore, and reopen it?

  • Encore CS5 slow on a 8-core Mac?

    Hi friends,
    Im running Encore on a 8 core Mac with 16GB RAM. But when I import a HD video and try to do some chaptering etc. the programm is to slow to follow me. What could be the problem? It's an unsual H264 codec.
    Best, Chris

    >unsual H264 codec
    That is like saying "I have an unusual hat, and my neck hurts" without saying that the hat is made of iron and your neck is not strong enough
    You need to provide DETAILS of the exact codec... and your project settings
    My GUESS is that your project settings do not 100% match the settings of the codec... but that is only a guess

  • Dreamweaver CS5 slow to open CFM files

    Carey, All,
    Our whole team has problems when opening our (.cfm) files. Like the original poster (peterallcdn) we think it's because of related files...? In our case, we think it's our includes (fyi - we're using ColdFusion). When we remove all the includes the page opens quickly but with the includes the page takes over 30 seconds. We're working with only local files over a network as compared to peterallcdn who was using remote files.
    Our includes have various elements in them including sql queries, javascript, other includes etc.
    We've tried the Preferences tweaks and the registry edits listed in th is thread but our problem persists.
    Again these same files, when opened up in Notepad, open instantly.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jake

    Hello, Jake. Welcome to the Adobe user-to-user forums!
    30 seconds is definitely too long for opening files. Since the files are local, it is not likely the same issue discussed in the original thread, so I have split off your message into a new thread.
    We are investigating internally to see if we can determine a cause.
    To help get this sorted, would you be willing to share one or more of your files, and perhaps some Dreamweaver/server configuration details?

  • Encore CS5:  The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system...

    Hi guys, I am needing assistance with this matter.  I have read up on similar threads (mostly commented on my Bill Hunt), but I fear I may be missing something.  Can anyboy please assist me?
    Here's the background:
    OS:  Windows 7 64-bit.
    Video footage format:  AVCHD 1440 X 1080 (1.333) 25fps, 48KHz
    Photoshop Images:  1440 X 1080 (1.333)
    I have been running CS4 Master collection for the past year and a half, with minimal hassles in encore (except for the early patch that needed to be downloaded and applied for some or other transcoding error in Encore CS4). 
    Right, so we bought the CS5 Master collection upgrade, and all applications are running great, except Encore.  The moment I have completed editing my hour-long video in Premiere Pro CS5, I "send to Encore" via Dynamic Link.  (This is the way I have been operating countless times in CS4.  However now, in Encore CS5, the programme opens with all the regular project settings and saving dialogues, but the the moment it looks as though Encore is going get going, it stalls and doesnt respond, forcing me to close and try again. 
    So I tried the other way around.  I restarted Encore, created a new project, in a new project folder, encore opens, and I chose to Import as "new timeline" selecting the Premiere project of choice.  This time around, i don't get a crash out of Encore, instead I get the following message:
    "The software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. 
    Installing the correct decoders for the files you are working with may help to correct the problem."
    So I googled the matter, and came up with Bill's response to the same problem (expect the date that it was posted was back in 2009).  I am would desperately like to know if there is a solution, a patch, a workaround of some sorts that can help me get back to my usual workflow. I am pretty screwed without encore at this present moment, and the work is piling up.  Can anybody help?
    Many Thanks,
    Matt

    I am having the same problem however I end up having hardware error "Sense code 52102"
    My video capture is similar to yours except I am using HD (Canon HNV model Legria HV40)
    The process takes a long time and I have breaks in my recording to DVD and with no sound - once it completed after 40 hours.
    I have wasted over 20 DVD's trying different things.
    OS:  Windows 7 64-bit.
    Video footage format:  HD 1440 X 1080 (1.333) 25fps, 48KHz
    Photoshop Images:  1440 X 1080 (1.333)
    I have not tried what you did buy opening up Encore and importing to new timeline , let me do that and see if I get the same message.

  • Is there a way to open login apps in separate desktops without the screen switching between them?

    When I login, I open several apps on desktop 1, and several apps on desktop 2. However, the Mac switches to Desktop 2 a few seconds after I login, as the applications open there. Is there a way to prevent the screen from moving during login?

    Strange, it's working fine now. Nevermind.

  • Ever since I updated to iOS 8 on iPhone 5, sometimes when I press the home button just once it will open the app switcher or even the assistive button. Anyone else have this problem? Is it an iOS 8 glitch? Please help - very annoying.

    I updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 yesterday and now when I press the home button even once, it opens the app switcher (which is supposed to only open after pressing the home button twice quickly). Sometimes pressing the home button once even brings up the assistive button (which for me should take three button presses). This did not happen before I updated my software. Has anyone else had this issue? Know how to stop it? Very annoying and at this point feel like I should have waited before I did the update.

    Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
    this problem occurs when there is a short circuit  in the phone... you  most likely got  it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly  oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone  is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
    the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..
