Freeze up while rendering

I'm a long time user of Final Cut Pro and have made several videos. The only recent change is installing CS3 photoshop. Plenty of room on all drives. 2 different projects are doing this. I have G4 10.4.11 Any suggestions?

Have you done any software updates? What is your source material (format, codec, etc) and what are you sequence settings? Are all your drives formatted macosextended?

I want to freeze frame while rendering and to continue

hey all
i am using a processor and a codec to grab frames (AccessFrame...)
while rendering the media i created a mouse listener .
on the first click i want to freeze the image and click 3 more times in order to get specific coordinates
and then to carry on with the media transmission.
so... what i did i stopped the processor clicked 3 more time and then started the player.
ok so its work. when i start the player i get a black screen for a second and the media is playing....
my question is. does anyone has a better way??? when i start the processor from the stopped stage i am getting
a black screen.
thanks
Nati

Open the video in QuickTime Player.
Scrub to the frame.

Premiere Pro Freezes mac while rendering Fast Color Corrector & Rgb curves

I am having a problem that is impacting our business. We are doing commercials that we are doing color correction of the subject using Fast Color Corrector and RGB curves. When these effects are added to the sequenced video, the performance of the Mac Pro slows down considerably.
Then when we go to render the project so that we can see the effects in real time, the computer freezes completely. The program usually informs us that it must close due to a serious error. I have attempted to restart the computer, clean up permissions etc to solve this problem but to no avail. Why would this happen? Any ideas on how to solve it?
Here are the specs:
Using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 (4)
Mac Pro: 3.2 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 24 GB
ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1024 MB)
OS: 10.8.5

Yes. I experimented on my own and got confirms from a couple of sources. Where the problem was is bad suggestions about what settings to use in Premiere Pro.
The first setting you want to check (although Premiere Pro will probably see the card right away is:
File > Project Settings > General - Make sure that Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is selected. Everyone agrees on this.
Now is where the fun begins. There is a school of thought that says to go here:
Sequence > Sequence Setttings - Under Video Previews, they want you to check off Maximum Render Quality. Once you do this, you must also go to:
Preferences > Memory - and change Optimize Rendering for Performance
DO NOT DO THIS! What I found is that this significantly slows down your system and makes rendering and exporting take over your computer (and I have a lot of ram). Leave your change with the setting Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and you should be great.
I have found a significant change in running color correction effects, exporting and rendering. You will too.
Let me know how you make out after your setup.
Have a great day!

New Mac Pro (late 2013) crashes / freezes while rendering or editing in Premiere Pro CC

We recently purchased a new Mac Pro desktop (Late 2013, 16GB memory, D700 Graphic Card, 2.7 GHz -12 Core, OSX 10.9.3) and we are running Adobe CC on it. When using Premiere Pro CC (7.2.2) I am having major issues while rendering and editing. About 50% of the time when I try to render it starts off real fast then just freezes. This happens in Premiere and Media Encoder. Sometimes I can just Force Quit Premiere or Media Encoder and other times I have to do a hard restart on the entire computer because the entire computer freezes. The computer will also occasionally freeze whenever doing simple editing or stacking layers. The computer will also just decide to suddenly stop and restart when editing or doing simple tasks like browsing the web. Additionally there has been several times if the render does finish, the final video will have digital glitches throughout the video. I have to redo the render once or twice and it will finally be fine. This all is happening several times a day. This never happened on our previous Mac Pro, but we were not running Mavericks. I used Migration Assistant to transfer from old computer to new computer. So I don't know if this is an a problem with the actual Mac Pro, Mavericks, graphic card or Adobe? But right now I am very frustrated as you can imaging spending all this money for a computer that has been giving us more issues than our previous computer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Hi all,
we experience reproducable crashes of After Effects freezing the whole system while rendering.
AE-Version: 11.0.4 (CS6)
Mac OSX 10.9.2 (on a MacPro 2012 - same Problem on a MacPro 2013 with Mac OSX 10.9.5)
The Video-Card is a KONA LHi with Hardware-Driver 10.6.
Multiprocessing is turned on and we tried different configurations. (MacPro 2012 has 48GB RAM, MacPro 2013 64GB).
The Media Cache has been released.
Taking a look at the activity monitor I see that the "Adobe QT32 Server" does not respond right after starting After Effects.
That leaded me to the suspicion that some installed Quicktime-Codecs may be the cause.
Throwing away the AJA-Codecs located in "Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/" the Adobe QT32 Server runs fine but then I am unable to open the AE-Project properly.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
Thanks
Dankward

Hi Szalam,
the Codecs installed with the AJA-Driver are the latest so far.
Turning Multiprocessing off seems to help. The AE-Project that I got for testing doesn't crash anymore.
But rendering takes ages...
Thanks

Multi threading race condition in JTable while rendering and truncating?

Hi All,
It seems that there is a race confition when rendering a large table which is truckated by another thread while rendering it on a JTable view.
Let me try to explain what I think is the problem:
When considering the folowing code from BasicTableUI
First the size of the tbale model is determined in
public void paint(Graphics g, JComponent c) {
[snip]
        if (rMax == -1) {
         rMax = table.getRowCount()-1;
        }then this cMax is passed to:
private void paintCells(Graphics g, int rMin, int rMax, int cMin, int cMax) {
     JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
     TableColumn draggedColumn = (header == null) ? null : header.getDraggedColumn();
     TableColumnModel cm = table.getColumnModel();
     int columnMargin = cm.getColumnMargin();
        Rectangle cellRect;
     TableColumn aColumn;
     int columnWidth;
     if (table.getComponentOrientation().isLeftToRight()) {
         for(int row = rMin; row <= rMax; row++) {
          cellRect = table.getCellRect(row, cMin, false);
                for(int column = cMin; column <= cMax; column++) {
                    aColumn = cm.getColumn(column);
                    columnWidth = aColumn.getWidth();
                    cellRect.width = columnWidth - columnMargin;
                    if (aColumn != draggedColumn) {
                        paintCell(g, cellRect, row, column);
                    cellRect.x += columnWidth;
     } else {The prepareRenderer works like this:
    public Component prepareRenderer(TableCellRenderer renderer, int row, int column) {
        Object value = getValueAt(row, column);
[snip]
     return renderer.getTableCellRendererComponent(this, value,
                                                   isSelected, hasFocus,
                                                   row, column);
    }Here the above getValueAt is called for every cell to be rendered (in one thread) , while async a row can be deleted (in another thread) while the tables rendereing is still in progress. This leads to a value to be unexpectedly be null in the above return renderer.getTableCellRendererComponent method call: this method could return an empty panel to indicated that the cell is gone which is strange behaviour because the row doesn't exists anymore. The other option would be to return a null renderer so that the cell won't be rendered but that is impossible because the code doens't expect a null renderer. The third option could to be synchronize somehow the 2 threads so that any delete on the model has to wait until the rendering has finished.
A possble solution could be to make paintCells at least protected and change to code to see if the designated row still exists, and if not don't increment the row height
Any help/feedback is greatly appreciated!
Note that this question is based upon Java5 and I do not know if this is also true for Java6
Thnx
Andr'e

So this means that a TableModel must be manupulated (setValueAt , adding deleting and/or updating objects in this TableModel) through a thread in the EventQueue!
i.e. (pseudo code)
        EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                getTableModel().setValueAt(........)
        });A

Error while rendering menus/slideshows--HELP!!

Ok. I've done my homework on this forum and the Mac help pages and nothing fixes this problem.
Initial issue: I have an iDVD project with pictures in drop zones, audio in the background, two menu pages each with 3-4 movies (both .dv and .mpg4), and a menu page with nothing but background audio and text.
While trying to create a disk image I received the (familiar to this board) error that there was an "Error while rendering menus/slideshows" and that burning was to be aborted.
What I tried:
I cleared 41 gigs of free space on my boot drive.
I transfered all of my media files onto the boot drive.
I verified and repaired permissions. (until I did these last two items, the program wouldn't just fail, it would crash my computer, giving me the multilanguage *you must restart* greyed out page).
I downloaded the most recent quicktime, iTunes, and Mac OS updates.
I created a new iDVD project with only one video file (sepearately tried just a .dv and .mpg4 file).
I removed all quicktime extensions from my 'library/quicktime' and '~library/quicktime' folders.
I changed from 'higher quality' to 'better performance'.
I told it to process in the background.
I told it to delete the rendered files when it was done.
I ran the apple hardware Test from my Apple CD.
I turned off the hard drive/screen 'sleep' settings.
I switched the video format from NTSC to PAL.
I swore and came up with multiple comically profane file names for the disk images.
Nothing. It always gives the error following the 'processing menus' portion of the rendering.
Facts:
iBook G4
1.2 GHz Power PC
1.25 GB Ram
41.77 Gigs of free hard drive on boot disk.
iDVD v5.0.1 (625)
iMovie HD v5.0.2 (111)
Quicktime v7.1.5
Mac OSX v10.4.9
I'm running into a deadline and need to have this burned!!
*** Mac?
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 1.2 G Ram

I switched the video format from NTSC to PAL.
Why in the world would you do this? You are in the
NTSC area. You must change the NTSC/PAL setting
BEFORE you start a project.
Mostly because I don't know what it means and wanted to try anything.
All the video and audio is original content.
I ended up going to the Mac genius bar today. They said that it was a corrupted encoding file solved by a reinstall of iDvd. Sounds like a lot of people run into this problem?
On the topic of file formats... do you know why my titles look great in iMovie, but look like crap once I export them? Even if I export at "Full Quality". And is .dv better than .mpg4? I need a good primer.
thanks,
Ian
I suspect the problem lies in your mpg-4 content.
iMovie/iDVD have very spotty mpg-4 support. Try
using something like VisualHub (
http://www.techspansion.com/visualhub/ ) to convert
your mpg-4 files to DV format. (You may also be
having problems with the music used in your menus.
Where does it come from?)

Fatal error while rendering UI component since we are in BI 4.1 SP2 patch 4

Hello,
Since we are in BI 4.1 SP2 patch 4, we have one Analysis for Olap report which have this message : Fatal error while rendering UI component.
This report gets 7 folders : 5 of them gets this error message and 2 of them works well
It's the same problem with patch 6.
Could you please help us to find a solution ?
I don't know how to investigate.
Regards,
Nicolas

Hey Nicolas
We are experiencing a similar error. It appears when we try to create a conditional formatting rule on one of the reports.
Were you able to find a solution to this?

Error while rendering: Export file not found - what to do?

Hi,
I have been editing my video in four different premiere pro projects (as I got adviced to do from these forums because it's AVCHD clips). I have rendered these four projects and burned to four DVD's (total playtime is around 1.5hours) - which is working fine.
But then I try to import all four projects into one big master project because I want to make a blu-ray iso. The import goes fine (I import like this: File > Import > Choose project > Import entire project)
I export to encore, make the menus etc. and click "build" to start rendering. The problem is that after some time I get this error:
Blu-ray Object: "sequence-name-here/project-name-here.prproj", Export file not found
I have seen this error before while rendering some of the four individual projects - but when I saw them I simply just tried again by exporting to encore from the projects again. This seemed to work - but with the big master project I have tried several times with no luck.
Can anyone help me fix this issue? :)

Yes, I got this too:
For posterity, here is what I have found that completely fixes this error, repeatedly: Clear Encore's cache. Specifically:
Close your Encore project and exit Encore
Go to the cache subdirectory named for your project (ie. if your save file is c:\projects\mymovie.ncor then go to c:\projects\mymovie\cache)
Delete the file "mlf.cache.v10"
If your Encore project contains any Premiere Pro dynamically-linked assets, start Premiere Pro and load at least one of the projects used in Encore. (I have found that this reduces memory usage -- for some reason, Premiere Pro takes up less memory than if Encore spawns the PProHeadless.exe media server to serve the same function)
Restart Encore and load your project
...and wait, patiently, for Encore to re-scan all of your assets and build up the cache again and don't touch it until it's finished. I use Process Explorer (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653) to watch my disk activity and CPU to know when Encore is finished (just hover on the cyan-colored graph and you can see what program is performing the most disk activity). Once it's all finished, I save, then immediately try to build my project again. For proof of concept, my 40GB BD-50 project just built last night after getting this error yesterday afternoon.
If any of your assets are not transcoded before you begin this process, transcode them all, then start this process over again from step one. Clearing the cache does not clear the transcodes.
I hope this helps someone. I was not looking forward to completely re-authoring my project, which I've been working on (on and off) for a few months.

While rendering a project in After Effects CC (Mac) , the application closes half way, saying it quit unexpectedly, Please Help!

So, I have created a cool project that was a lot of hard work in After Effects CC (Mac), While rendering a project in After Effects CC (Mac) , the application closes half way, saying it quit unexpectedly. Here is the link to an error log which is automatically recorded when After Effects crashes:- After Effects Crash (Mac) - Pastebin.com

Hard Drive: 500GB -- 186.49 GB free space.

Element 3d renders using your graphics card. Unlike After Effects, what GPU you're using matters a lot for Element.
As it is, you don't really have one.
You could try rendering an image sequence and then picking up your render where it left off when it crashes, but if a certain frame is just too much for your computer to handle, there's not much we can help with. I'd suggest adding a GPU that Element can use.

Premiere Pro and Media Encoder crash while rendering H.264

Very recently, a problem's popped up where Premiere Pro and Media Encoder (CC) will crash while rendering H.264.
It's only while rendering H.264 - other formats seem to work fine.
And I don't mean that it returns an error, I mean it hard crashes with a Windows "Adobe Premiere Pro CC has stopped working" popup.
It doesn't crash at a consistent time during the render, even on the same project. Occasionally, it won't crash at all, but this is usually not the case.
I've tried disabling CUDA and my overclock to no avail. Please help!

On the topic of opening a project on the exact same version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 (yes it is definitely up to date, and the 2014 version), to overcome this export crash problem that ZachHinchy has brought up - you can't. Technically speaking, one should easily be able to open a Premiere Pro CC 2014 project from one system on another system running the exact same up to date, legitimate version of Premiere Pro CC 2014 without any kind of error. But for some reason, this has been disallowed(?) by Adobe. It has facepalm written all over it. Does anyone agree that this is at least a little bit silly?
I have tried exporting a Final Cut Pro XML from my project to try and open the sequence at uni on a Mac, so I can render my project when I finish my edit. It half works - the clips are there, but the sequence is gone - i.e. 12 hours of painstaking sequencing and micro-edits that had me at several points in time wanting to insert my hand through my monitor with enough force to make a large hole. I really cannot afford redo this sequence, as my assignment is due tomorrow, and I have to work at 6 oclock in the morning, so I also cannot afford to stay up till the early hours of tomorrow morning. Wish me luck that some miraculous event has taken place overnight that will somehow allow me to just open my project, on the same version of Premiere, on a Mac, without hassle. (Apple OS is not friendly to anything but its own selfish nature, so I am having doubts).
Adobe please, if you can do anything at all to help, you will save my assignment, and my faith will be restored. Otherwise, I'll just get my money back and buy Final Cut instead.
I cant even
If I find a way to fix either of these problems, I will post straight away.

Premiere Pro CC Crashes While Rendering With Mercury OpenCL

Hi guys!
Every time I try to render a ~2 min video in H.264 using the OpenCL renderer which is fully supported on my 7970 (2x Crossfire) the program crashes while rendering. (Usually around 28%)
If I switch to Mercury Software renderer, it renders perfectly.
I am currently using AMD 13.6beta2 drivers, and PPCC is fully updated, any suggestions?
Additionally, for the half minute that it tries to render with OpenCL before crashing, by checking the GPU utilization % in AMD catalyst overdrive, it seems to not be utilizing the gpu at all... And then promtly crashes of course...
I hope I can fix this problem soon... Really dissapointed with this adobe product.
Thanks a lot!

Rendering without any effects ----------> Still Crashes
Disabling Crossfire ----------------------- > Still Crashes
Reinstalling Premiere ---------------------> Still Crashes
Physically Removing the 2nd GPU -----> Works
So, is there any way I can get this to work while having both GPUs physically installed in the computer?
It would be quite a hastle to remove the 2nd one each time I need to use PP!
One odd thing also is that from watching the gpu utilization while rendering H.264 1080p, the GPU is only being used to about 30%, and very intermittently.... I would imagine things would accelerate quite a lot if it actually utilized the whole GPU!
Thank you very much guys!

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 crashes at a certain point while rendering

Adobe Media Encoder CS5 crashes at a certain point while rendering, I have also tried to render directly from Premiere Pro but this only makes PremPro crash instead.
The clip I am trying to render right now is 20 mins long, 1600x900 and is a .avi file. The output settings are H.264/HDTV 720p 29.97fps High Quality.
This all started happening after I re-installed windows.
Machine Specs:
Intel i5 3570k
8GB 1866MHz RAM
Intel HD 4000 graphics (yes I know I should get CUDA)
I made sure that CS5 was updated before posting this.

>1600x900 and is a .avi file
That size description makes me think this is a screen capture, not a camera file... if it is a screen capture, what codec/software did you use?

Getting style missing errors while rendering ADF trees in JSF page

I am getting the following message while rendering a JSF page with af:tree. Based on other posts on this forum, I verified servlet-mapping in web.xml and it is already set to /faces/*.
