FCE freezes when moving between clips! Help?

Not with all transitions, but with some, sometimes even moving between clips from the same batch of film(!) FCE will stop playing through in the timeline, sound will jerk to a halt, and I'll then see what I call the "Colorful wheel of death" as FCE tries to deal with it and stops responding, making me Force Quit, which is a Jedi ability I now have much use in, btw... I have tried to Trash Prefs but still no good, and as I am fairly new to this software, with less than a year's experience, I need help!
I have three major projects to do before year's end!
What do I do?

First be sure you've correctly trashed your preferences. Follow the advice here: http://www.fcpbook.com/Misc1.html
Be sure everything is rendered before you playback. Be sure none of the windows (particularly Canvas) are overlapping.
Move your RT playback quality to low.
Sometimes it helps to reduce the opacity of an offending clip to 99% (via the motion tab in the viewer)before playing your sequence in the timeline. I can't explain why this works but its saved me alot.

Dreamweaver Momentarily Freezing When Moving Between Code and Design View

I have Dreamweaver CS4 and have had a problem that just started yesterday. I have rebooted my machine to no avail. The local copy and the live copy of the site are on two different servers that we access through a local network.
Dreamweaver slows to a standstill if I click to another program and then attempt to go back into Dreamweaver or if I switch between design and code view.
I haven't made any changes to Dreamweaver in the way of added extensions or updates. Is it possible that the cause of this could be either a server problem or a connectivity to the server problem?
Many thanks in advance for any help you could provide.
Andy

You can use CTRL+# to switch between Code and Design View.
By the way, this is the Dreamweaver Application Development forum which deals with questions about using server-side scripting languages like PHP or ColdFusion. General Dreamweaver questions should be posted in the regular Dreamweaver General Discussions forum.
And while I´m at it: please use descriptive headlines such as "how to switch between Code and Design View" for your posts -- mentioning your screen name "Goula129" is not helpful to other users.

Follow up on: Topic : iBook G4 800 MHz freezes when moved or bumped lightly

Last year I posted the following message, which has been fixed. Summary of repair at bottom of post:
Original message posted Aug 4, 2007:
"For the past several months my iBook G4 has been freezing when moved or bumped lightly. It has also occasionally done some strange things at startup. It sometimes will show just a grey screen and sit there. Sometimes the screen will do some sort of fade transition across the screen, going bright in a wave accros the screen and then to black and then nothing. Sometimes there will be vertical lines in the middle of the right side of the screen of various colors. And the last significant occurance is the occassional static in the display. These video symptoms always occur at startup. If the computer starts up to the desktop it will only freeze if moved or bumped lightly. The cursor sometimes can still be moved after the computer freezes.
I have done the following:
Clean install of OS (Tiger 10.4) with all updates and tested before updating. If have done this before and after wiping the drive clean.
I have removed the extra RAM, reseated the RAM, removed the Airport Extreme card, reseated the Airport Extreme card. I have chaged out the hard drive. I have also disassembled most of the computer to check for any other loose components. The only discrepency I have found was a crimped microphone wire, that is slightly damaged. The screen was replaced a few months after purchase when it had a close encounter with a hot wheel car of my son's. The computer is currently a little over three and a half years old.
I work on computers for a living, specialize in Macs, and have been using Macs since 1986. I am stumped. Can someone please shed some light on this issue by providing a different point of view than my own. Sometimes we need an outside perspective to solve some problems.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide."
Solution provided by Apple:
I took the laptop to the Apple Store and sent it in for the flat rate repair, which was a little over $300. They had to replace the motherboard and some of the cable. The bad motherboard was causing video issues, freezing and startup difficulties. The bad cables were causing the freezing when the unit was moved. The laptop has performed exceptionally well since the repair and is still in use. Hope this helps other people out there.

As a guess it suggests to me that the leads on U28 need to be reflowed.

Running Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is sluggish when moving between pictures on new iMac.

Running Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 is sluggish when moving between pictures on new iMac. I have a standard 21" iMac with 8 gb of RAM, but it still sticks for up to 30 seconds when switching pictures in organizer or other functions. How can I get it more responsive?

How large is your HD & how much space do you have left? Make sure you are using the latest version of APE.
You should also contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product.

802.1X Authentication issues when moving between switch ports

Hi Guys,
We are having some issues at our office where when users move from one switch to another, the 802.1X authentication does not want to take place. The PC just gets an APIPA address. Now I have read about features that MAC Move and MAC replace but they seem to be used when moving from one port a switch to another port on that same switch. Will MAC move help for issues between switches? And should I focus my attention on the switch's configuration or have a look at the NPS server that might be blocking that authentication as the user is already authenticated?
My configuration we have on the switch ports look as follows:
authentication host-mode multi-domain
authentication order dot1x mab
authentication priority dot1x mab
authentication port-control auto
dot1x pae authenticator
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Computer freezes when moving files from USB, or to another partitioned HD

Hello, i've been moving files from two USB's to my Macintosh HD, and when I do that, the computer kinda freezes up, i can move the cursor, but not kinda click anywhere, and then a minute after or something, it gets normal again, but the transfer is going horribly slow. this happens when i move from Macintosh HD, to Macintosh HD 2 (a partitioned one). the files are 2 gb each USB. which means im transferring 4 gb at the time.

Neurot wrote:
I have 6 folders on my hard drive. These folders were created by downloading a bunch of rar files, then extracting them each to their own folder. I have not touched the permissions, so they should be the default of me having read/write and everyone else having read (correct me if i'm wrong).
Using two Finder windows, I drag and drop the six folders from one hard drive to another, and hold down the Apple key so that it moves instead of copies. I let go and it starts copying the files (since there is no "move", but rather a "copy and then delete").
I would recommend you don't use this method to move a lot of files between drives. it's much safer first to copy and if the copy is successful to delete the original afterward. there was a data loss bug in OS X a while back that wold sometimes lead to total loss on both the source and the target when doing this.
this bug is supposed to be long fixed but still...
How is the hard drive you are moving the files to formatted? what yo describe sometimes happens when moving a lot of stuff to or from FAT formatted drives. also, repair both drives in disk utility. repair disk, not permissions.

FCE freezes when loading project

Hello everyone!
I have a problem when loading a final cut express project. The program freezes when its in the process of opening the file.
Here is a link to a video so you can see whats happening.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/18576059/iouiou.mov
I have tried to wait for over 8 hours to see if it would eventually start but no. It´s still just the "ball of death"
Hopefully someone have a solution for this.
I use a 2011 27 Imac with 6 GB of ram and a i5 processor.

If you need any more info just ask!

The movies are .mov with H.264-MPEG4 kodec.
I think that you are right about the codec creating the problem, because only projects with this codec is freezing. I checked all my projects and those with different codecs was working fine.
I have no problem opening a new project.
Does this mean that I have to convert the movies and reedit everything or can a just convert the clips to a propper format and then reconnect them?
Thanks for your help!
Sincerely Henrik

T60 freezes when moving trackpoint right after boot

Hello,
I have been experiencing this issue for quite a long time. Initially I thought it was due to an update for Windows XP, but I couldn't find any message on the logs when the laptop hangs. I re-installed XP several times to discard any software-related incompatibility, but even with a fresh install it was happening.
I recently realized after several tests that the problem occurred more frequently when moving the mouse (trackpoint or touchpad) right after system boot (either cold boot or boot from hibernation). What I found out is that it will no longer happen if I suspend the laptop after the system has started, not touching the mouse.
The symptoms are that Windows freezes. No HD activity at all, system doesn't respond to any mouse/keyboard input. If I close the laptop cover the system doesn't hibernate. The only way to resume normal operation is pressing the power off button for a few seconds, so the system turns off, then turn on normally.
All drivers are up to date.
Has anyone experience this issue?
Thanks
Solved!

Try to remove your battery... If battery is dead it might give you this problem...

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.
JL

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,
Hunt

Issue when moving between screens

Hi All,
Since we started working with Siebel 8.1 in SI we started having an unexpected behaviour when moving to another screen. Basically, when we log in Siebel PRM, we go to "Contact Screen Homepage View (SCW)" and search button is modified to go the Contact/ Opportunities view.
But if we don't want to work with contacts and try to go to another Screen ("Home Page", "Opportunity" or "Messages") instead of showing the selected screen Siebel goes to the Contact/Opportunities of the first contact found.
In case we search for a contact, go to another screen from the Contact/ Opportunities view and try to go to another screen the application works as expected.
Did anybody have the same issue? Do you knwo what can be happening?
thanks!

Freezermale,
It may help to bring Excel to the foreground (by clicking the Excel icon in the Dock), then using the "Zoom" option under the Window menu.
This solved my question by VikingOSX on Oct 17, 2012 10:57 AM

Command and + key will zoom in.
Command and - key will zoom out.
For applications that support trackpad zoom, enable Zoom in or out in Trackpad Scroll & Zoom prefs.

Okay so this is what happens. Eather my wifi works but my macbook freezes when I move it. Or the wifi doesnt work (no hardware detected) and the laptop doesnt freeze.
Ive been to the genius bar here in Amsterdam, replaced the wifi but his didnt help, still freezing with wifi, or no wifi at all.
Other actions taken:
PRAM reset
SMC reset
replaced ram, to test
Reinstalled the whole laptop.
Does anybody have a clue what to do?
Thanks,
Timon

I have tried all suggestions I found on Internet
Then take your MPB to your local AS or an AASP. Diagnostic testing is FREE!
Contact the router manufacturer.
If you are still under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let them deal w/it.

IMovie HD freezes when switching between views.

I am in the process of completing my latest movie in iMovie HD and am having some major issues when I attempt to change views to add audio. The program runs fine when I am in the scene view, but when I click on the "filmstrip" icon at the bottom to view the audio tracks the "rainbow" circle appears and iMovie changes to the wonderful "iMovie is not responding" status.
Help please!!!

I am using iMovie HD, version 6.0.3, and have the same type of problem except mine freezes when I am in the middle of adding photos to the project. I spent 4 hours on the phone yesterday speaking with various techs with good intentions but no successful resolutions. Some of what we tried...running "utility, repair disc", we then tried deleting the cache files associated with iMovie HD plus a few other items. None of it has solved my problems. According to the last tech I spoke with, the next step may be creating another profile on the computer and try using the program with it. If this solves the problem, then the issue is with conflicts in the "original" profile being used. The only issue with this that seems to be a bit painful is that with the new profile, I won't have access to everything I saved under the old profile. I will have to copy all of the files externally and then import them back into the new profile. I am hoping to find the "real" solution before attmpting this. In the meantime, when I make changes/additions to my iMovie HD projects, I hit save after every change/addition. This makes things easier when I restart the program. Let me know if you have any luck or find a good fix. This one is getting on my nerves. This type of problem is why I dumped my PC for a Mac!! Out of curiosity, how long have you had this problem? Mine started after downloading the "Intel processor" update. Maybe it is just coincidental????

Losing the audio track when moving a clip from the browser to the timeline

Today we were trying to add two clips from the browser in Final Cut Express HD to the timeline that was created yesterday. The problem is, the clips we were adding today are not moving with the audio tracks. All other clips from when we created the movie are fine but the two we added today have no sound. The audio works when viewing the clip in "viewer" but not once it is moved to the timeline. Any thoughts?

Hi(Bonjour)!
Look at the left side of the time line, there is a device (the patch panel) to set the current video and audio target tracks. (little V1 and a1 a2 icons). Swith them to desired tracks to select the target audio tracks (that's where the video and audio-or just one of them-will be inserted in timeline upon editing). There is also a contextual menu (control click) with reset panel command.

Xorg/radeon/i3 lagging when moving between monitors

Hello, I just did a fresh install of Arch on my desktop, and I'm trying to get triple monitors working. My setup is:
1 x DVI-D on R9 280X (primary display = DVI-1)
2 x DVI-D on HD 5770 (left display = DVI-1-2, right display = DVI-1-1)
All monitors are identical 2560x1440 (QNIX QX2710) monitors. I'm using the open source drivers (radeon) drivers, and testing this on i3 (the WM i plan to use). I tried doing this with cinnamon, however I could only get 2 screens going at once, primary and another on the 5770.
in order to get all the monitors enabled, once i3 starts up i open a terminal and run:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0 && xrandr --output DVI-1-2 --preferred --left-of DVI-1 --output DVI-1-1 --preferred --right-of DVI-1
This line enables all monitors, which I thought meant it was good. However, it lags. Specifically, it lags when moving mouse from center screen to either of the side ones. It completely locks up for 3-5 seconds, but then it catches up. However, it doesn't seem to lag when I move from one of the side displays to the center.
xrandr doesn't see the monitors until i run --setprovideroutputsource, and it seems to crash my xorg if I setup right screen, then the left screen.
I read online that trying to force accelmethod to exa in xorg.conf.d/ might fix it, however that didn't work. Otherwise, I've read again online that glamor is the cause of this issue. What should I do if that's the case?

Hi ,
I am having the same issue as your reported, but I am on different hardware, so I suspect it is an issue with something else. I think these posts are similar so watch them:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=139193
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140572
The system I am having an issue with was built via a derivative of ArchISO scripts and installed onto a machine. I don't believe that alone is the issue, but initially I did think it was something wrong with my scripts / configuration. I merged my /etc of a working system with the one in question and it still does not work.
I looked very briefly at the Xorg logs and noticed that it wants to autodetect input devices, perhaps that could be an issue. The other oddity I noticed is that I still cannot use slim / xfce. Initially I built the system to primarily use that window manager to save resources, but even after unplugging devices and logging in, I would get booted back out.
I will look into Xorg to see if there were any changes with auto-detection as well as udev. Perhaps one of those things is causing an issue.
