Flash CS4 extremely slow!

It's extremely slow to render any flash motion in CS4. I import to the stage some material and when I try to change and create any motion the processor usage raise up to 50% and the program freezing. It will be completly useless... Is there any solution to this problem? thx a lot!

Thank you for your fast reply!
Yes it's possible with virtual machine it would be more faster than now. I use the sw under Windows 7 too but before this system I had Vista with the same problem. So I don't know. The newest patch did not help yet.
I work under an Asus F3Sv series notebook with Core Duo T7500 and with Geforce GS8600M GS (256Mb).
But It's very strange: under Vista I couldn't do anythin for an examle in the actionscript editor. After Windows 7 it has been working now. But the prevoius problem is still ongoing.

Flash CS4 extremly slow on Windows 7 64-bit | NOT a Kaspersky issue!

Hello.
My problem is exactly the same, as the one solved in this thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2356898#2356898
Flash is just unusable, because of extremely slow performance. Selecting a tool or typing in actionscript takes forever. I've also noticed that sometimes (yes only sometimes), flash.exe takes alot of CPU usage, even when doing simple things like mentioned above.
At the same machine, 2 days ago, before upgrading from Vista Ultimate x64 to Windows 7 Ultimate x64, everything was working perfect.
Please help me as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
Grzelu.

I got the same problem on W7 (32-bit). I also notice that firefox really slows down on pages with lot of flash. I didn't had that problem when I was using XP.

CS4 Extremely slow, and crashing on save

Illustrator CS4 is taking hours to save bigger files with semi-complicated drawings. Seeing a lot of the rotating beach ball. This drawing happens to have many gradients, a drop shadow and also a glow. Sometimes it takes all night to save the file. Now it seems any bigger file, such as 100mg's will work extremely slow, then crash on save. Any way to speed this up or fix the problem? I'm missing a deadline due to repeated work that has crashed over the course of a week. Thanks.

If you don't need the file to be compatible with other Creative Suite software (to e.g. place it there or open it) then you might try and turn off PDF compatibility.
Also try and turn off compression.

Flash debugger Extremely slow

I am currently using Flash Builder 4 and building my first project with FlexSDK 4 .
To debug the application I installed the Flash debugger version plugin (v10.1.53.64) for FF .
Don't know if there is some parameter I need to set, but it is Extremely (imagine the caps ) slow. Actually I just cannot work this way.
I have been using the debugger before and it was extremely powerfull and fast. Don't know what the problem is. I already reinstalled a few times, no luck however.
Anyone ?
thx

I have found the problem.
When using the default player, it ran as usual (thus fast ....) . Once using the debugger it became horribly slow.
Then I started testing right into the folder where the application was deployed. Then I found a missing file.
However , I thought when copying a file into the src, Flash Builder automatically created a duplicate in the debug folder. This did not happen and that is why the application locked up (as it could not read the file).
So what is the proper way to handle missing files programmatically. ?
thx

Adobe media encoder cs4 extremely slow (5 hours for 8 minute video)

I know you have seen slowencoder issues before, but I have tried everything I can to fix this and need help.
Lets start with basic info:
8 minute vieo takes over 5 hours to generate final video.
Observations: 3 processes are running most of the time, with over 2GB memory left over and available, I/O is low, CPU is at 90 to 100 percent for hours during encode.
PProHeadless.exe 48-50%
Adobe Media Encoder.exe 30-40%
ImporterProcessServer.exe can be from 30-50% CPU but not constant.
I live in San Jose, and am willng to take this laptop to your Office to debug it personally. (FYI)
CS4: 4.2.1 with all updates applied
ALL Encoder OUTPUT is set to a 128GB Solid State Drive drive so there are very low delays on I/O: SAMSUNG MMCRE28G8MXP-0VB.
This setting is in the general disk setting, media cache files, etc. All I/O is to this drive, except the project file which for some reason gets copied to temp on c drive... (no I/O there however)

Another note that you need to look at separately:
I have seen issues trying to time warp and 60P video interpreted at 30P and time warped. It displays fine, but WILL NOT RENDER. I deleted these and re-did them at 10 and 15% time respectively to get the video rendered.
Looking forward to help.

Harm:
Cost: I got 2 of the Kingston 128GB SSD V100 from Costco at around 165 each (after rebate). They are on sale, and there is a 40 rebate each drive (up to 2) rebate.
Yes you are right, I did not expect improvements for Premiere pro, but I installed because I use this configuration on other systems for 1 year... and here are the results...
ALL of the data on this sytem is backed up on my 8TB server. I can loose anything here and get it back. I see the OS as just another replaceable disk.
I used the system motherboard hardware Raid 0 for C: AND... I put 3 of the 1TB drives on the motherboard hardware raid as a data disk. Data disk is ALL scratch disk, for the encoded files and cache. Source files are on the other software striped drive. Of course I loaded a fresh install and moved to Windows 7 64bit...
Overall observations:
     As you predicted encode times did not improve much, It was 15 minutes vs 17 minutes at 2.66 clock. I am unimpressed with the Intel Motherboard Raid 0. I saw the SSD was blazingly fast, but I think moving these to a RAID controll they will go faster. Each SSD drive in 200+MB/S rated.
What I do see is dramatic improvements in load times of the OS and ANY program you run. The pagefile was moved back to this raid 0 drive after benchmarks. RUNNING ANY application (adobe, microsoft, ALL are blazingly fast to load).
Example: Premiere pro CS5 from click on launch to CS5 prompting for a project name was 5.5 seconds... I would not take this out of the system for any money saved. It is amazing. Almost as good as the nvidia quadro FX 4000 Display card and the CS5.
My NEXT investment IS the RAID controller, and 6 of the Hitachi deskstar 3TB 6GPS Sata III drives to replace all my current drives. Next month or so for that.
I want components that I can keep in the system when I do replace the motherboard and CPU. I will tune this system as I have funds, and ask for help when this system no longer is viable and replace the motherboard. I will ask for the fastest motherboard and CPU combo that you can buy, and keep my 730X(treme) case and add a water cooler. As drives add 1TB a year in size, they seem to meet myneeds and I replace the old every 2 years to get the space I need.
As always your comments are spot on and I appreciate your reviews.

Flash player extremely slow

I'm wondering whats up with Flash, I'm using the newest version and it's eating up nearly all of my cpu while playing back a standard youtube video. On a similar Windows XP setup it's only taking up around 10%? Is flash player on Mac OS X just a POS?

Thanks for that! The advantages of 64bit Safari are actually quite minimal compared to having reliable Flash playback. I despise Flash in every way, what a horrible slow method of displaying video on the web It is a shame it became so bloody popular.
They really need to get this fixed, whether it is a Safari or Adobe issue, I for one home it is a Safari issue myself, as it may actually get fixed at some point.

Flash running extremely slow since today's update

After I updated I-tunes and the system this morning, flash animations in Safari (specifically Fishworld) run very very slowly. The same program causes Firefox to crash.
Any ideas?

Flash CS3 and CS4 "Test Movie" extremely slow, ridiculous.

This is a problem that, having read many forums, affects a very large amount of people, though Adobe doesn't care at all. It only affects OS X users.
When I use Flash CS3, and I make any animation, even the simplest tween, and I preview it with Test Movie, the result I get is an extremely slow playback. Something like half the FPS it should be.
However, when I export the SWF and preview it in the external Flash Player or in a browser, it's just fine and fast.
Another interesting thing is that in CS3, when I open the Help panel, the problem with Test Movie only happens like 20% of the time. In that case, it only gets solved if I restart or Log Out at least. I have no idea why the Help panel being open solves the problem, this only shows that this is probably a little graphic user interface bug, or something similar, that could be solved very very easily.
In Flash CS4, there is no Help panel, so there is no solution to the problem.
It would be nice to be able to press Cmd + Enter to see the movie, and not have to do File > Export > bla bla bla, open Finder, Find the SWF, double click it, wait for the browser to open... etc...
I have a brand new 2.5 GHz MacBook Pro, and Test Movie runs faster on my 900MHz Pentium III PC!! Funny...
Here are some links I found about this problem:
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-878
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb407896
http://www.kirupa.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-258991.html
This is quite ridiculous, and on Adobe's Support page, the solution is "Do not use Test Movie."
And the funny thing is that they didn't even bother to fix this in CS4...
So basically if something doesn't work, Adobe's solution is "Don't use it."
I guess they're right!
Please, tell me if anyone has this problem or knows anything about it!
Thanks,
Mate

1) Every post I see that you have made recently reflects on problems that are most likely associated with your computer that are causing problems with your software. 1st thing I would look at with your problems (and I do not mean just this one) is a conflict with another program, ei antivirus software, etc. Trying turning off programs one by one, relaunching your CS programs, and see if you can find a culprit.
2) With that kind of attitude you are only going to receive just as friendly/helpful solutions. Just because SOMEONE ELSE doesn't solve YOUR problem does not mean that THEY are ignorant.

Illustrator CS4 is extremely slow on my MacBook Pro

Illustrator CS4 (14.0.0) is running extremely slow on my MacBook Pro. After selecting an object nothing happens for 3 seconds, than the color wheel rotates for 3 seconds, then I can continue working. This is repeated for any new action, like select, rotate, copy, etc. The ActivityMonitor shows 100,2 % CPU usage during these seconds, all other processes are between 0 and 1,5%. All other CS4 programs are running fine.
I have no other application running at the same time, I chose "performance" over battery lifetime in the system preferences, deleted all the "Adobe Illustrator CS4 Settings" in the preferences folder for a fresh start, used the Adobe CleanSwipe tool, all installed printers are on and connected, HD has lots of free space, I work only from the local HD, have only 60 fonts installed - but no improvement. Even if I have a new document with only one object in it, this goes very slow.
Then I followed one of the recommendations in this community, installed a new user account, started Illustrator from there - and the problem was completely gone, reaction time and speed as it should be!!
Something in my initial (admin-)account is causing this problem - does anyone have a clue what it could be?
Any hint would be appreciated very much.
MacBook Pro 15" Oct 2009, 2,66 Ghz, 4GB, GeForce 9400M+9600M GT, HD 500GB (7200rpm), Mac OS X 10.6.3

That are 2 very good leads, but unfortunately I already tested that: I uninstalled all fonts, so there are only system fonts left - no improvement. I also started the admin account without any start elements (pressing "shift" during boot) - no improvement. The processes (all of them) except Illustrator are all at 0%, some can reach 0,7% - only Illustrator itself is at 100,4% for these few seconds. There is no difference between the admin account and the second user account regarding the Activity Monitor.
But the solution must be somewhere in the difeerence between the two accounts - user preferences, application support files, ???

Full screen Flash video is extremely slow

I have a 2010 27" iMac with an ATI Radeon HD 4670 graphics card. Full screen Flash video (e.g., Hulu) is extremely slow and choppy on it (4-5 frames per second). Full screen Quicktime or HTML5 video is fine. On my previous iMac (2008, 24", NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GS), full screen Flash video is smooth as silk. I realize my current video card is low- to mid-range, but should that really matter? I'm not sure if this is a video card issue, or something else. Here's a list of other things I've tried:
Other web browsers
Uninstalled and reinstalled the current version Flash
Uninstalled and reinstalled an older version of Flash
Installed Shockwave
Disabled hardware acceleration
Reinstalled Mac OS X Snow Leopard
As much as Apple wants to distance itself from Flash, I would be really shocked if a modern iMac was incapable of doing what a 3-year old iMac could do effortlessly. Anyone else have any ideas, or do I just need to upgrade my video card?

in youtube one can choose various level of resolutions
like hd or sd and the hd's are in various levels of high resolutions
if performance is the issue the first place I would look would be the resolution of
the set stream

The video downloading is extremely slow after downloading Flash Player Active X (IE) and FP Plug-in

I have Windows 7 on a 64-bit operating system, and have Firefox 19 and Internet Explorer 8. I tried installing Flash Player 11.6.602.171 from the Adobe Website and got an error message right at 47% download "can not contact reliable source." I also tried uninstalling whatever Flash Player I had, but I continued to get the same error message at 47% "can not contact reliable source." Finally, following the advice found in the link below under "Program Bar Hangs During Download," I downloaded Flash Player ActiveX (internet explorer) and Flash Player Plug-In (all other browsers). It appeared that both downloads were successful and I verified that the installation was complete in the link below under "Verify that installation is complete." It says I have Flash Player 11.6.602.171. My issue now is that whenever I watch videos that use Flash Player, the downloading of videos is extremely slow. For example, a 45 second youtube video might take 30 minutes to watch. I have tried everything (from General Info, Download Issues, Installation Issues, Post-Installation Issues) in this Adobe installation problem page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html but the problem has not improved. Can someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

First, I went on this link under Progress Bar Hangs During Download
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header
and then I downloaded Flash Player directly by clicking the links provided Flash Player for ActiveX (IE) and then Flash Player Plug-In (All browsers). After my installations were complete, I tried watching any youtube videos or videos on www.ABC.com and the loading of videos was extremely slow.

IPhone 6 and 6 plus camera extremely slow when using flash

I have noticed that the iPhone 6 and 6 plus camera is extremely slow when using flash, it is definitely slower than iPhones 5 and 5s.
Any explanation/solution for this?

I Have done some more testing and it seems turning off HDR resolves the issue

Flash CS4 was running fine now running really slow

I have had Flash cs4 for the mac for several months now and the first project I started was running fine with no sluggishness, I was using it for basic animaton so it was never asking too much. the file size was about 150 mb towards the end which was fine until all of a sudden it just crashed after asking it to do something simple and it started running slowly since, I'd barely made any changes but after the 'crash' selecting anything on the stage or moving anything would have about a 1 second delay which is frustrating! it runs smoothly on start up for several minutes then will just start running slowly again. I have since started a new project which has the exact same problem and is only 18mb in size! my mac book pro is barely a year old and has plenty of memory etc. I know that many people have reported sluggishness but this was running fine until something 'unknown' happened.
Can anyone help?

Thanks for your help, I did try hiding the larger layers but the rest are really simple and hiding all layers except the one I was working on made no difference.

MacBook Pro extremely slow start up, Rainbow wheel of death. HELP!

Hi there
My Mac has just suddenly started becoming very slow. Upgraded to Mavericks 2 months ago. Had an issue at first install that was resolved with re-installation.
Has become very slow to boot, freezing at the Grey Screen with the Apple and spining cog. (Kernel I think?)
It is also very slow once logged in. Nothing has changed system wise. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I'm not too Mac savvy, so the help is very much appreciated. So here's what I've done...
Had already tried to delete CleanMyMac. So I got EasyFind, and used it to delete/destroy the rest of the files. Did the same for Roxio, Sierra Wireless and Seagate. PaceAp would have been installed with Pro Tools, which is now gone.
There are several files associated with Sierra, PaceAp and Seagate (.plist & .bom files) that I cannot delete, as I get an error saying that cannot be deleted.
Tried Verifying and Repairing Disk Permissions - All was OK
Ran through the Sleep, then Restart, then Shutdown sequence. Noticed no difference.
Reset P-Ram.
Reset SMC
Rebooted again, holding command + R and ran the disk utility.
First Verified the disk. Got errors:
Invalid Directory item count
Volume bitmap needs minor repair for orphaned blocks
The volume Machintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
So I then ran Repair disk, it ran through and then said:
The volume Machintosh HD was repaired successfully.
The battery condition is normal
Charge Information:
Charge Remaining (mAh):          5420
Fully Charged:          Yes
Charging:          No
Full Charge Capacity (mAh):          5482
Health Information:
Cycle Count:          806
Condition:          Normal
Battery Installed:          Yes
Amperage (mA):          0
Voltage (mV):          12401
I then rebooted, but nothing has changed. At the moment it boots to the grey screen with the Apple logo and cogwheel. Takes about 10 mins to then go through to log in. Often the fan will start running as if the system is under load.
When I click login the rainbow wheel pops up and it freezes for a while. Then it eventually loads the home page. Takes another 10 - 20 mins to load everything, the clock and wifi connections in the top right take ages to load.
It will be extremely slow for another 20 mins or so. Cant open folders or do simple tasks without getting the rainbow wheel. Then after a little while it seems to run OK, but still sluggish.
There are no programs that are launched on startup, and I close all programs before shutting the system down. I have over 100 GB free space on the harddrive. Yet I notice in the data from EtreCheck, it states there is only 66 Gb.
Haven't used Time Machine, as my external harddrive is formatted to FAT32, and I have nowhere to store all its contents to reformat it to Mac Extended Journal. I have backed up all the files from the system that I need.
So is there anything else I can try? Should I try a full system wipe and reinstallation? If so, how do I go about this?
I'm assuming unlike PC's, it's not just a simple task to replace the harddrive, if it is failing hardware?
I'm in rural Australia, so not readily near a Mac Support Shop. But if it is hardware, I'll just have to figure out some way to get to one.
Here's the updated info from EtreCheck, if its of any use..
Thanks again everyone the help, muchos gracias!
