Freezing while capturing

Hi there. I've started having problems with FCP. Up until this week everything has been fine. I don't have a powerful Mac, but for the past 3years its been fine editing my work. The problem started this week when I connected it to the internet and updated all my software, I also installed Flip4mac so I can export WAVs.
The problem is this, when I capture video the capture goes fine for a few minutes until the picture freezes on one frame. I don't get a report of dropped frames as the capture continues. I can come back to the Mac when its fully captured and when I watch it back part of it is fine, then it freezes with audio still playing in the background, then it seems to come back working again. If I press escape key when capturing the whole FCP freezes and I get the spinning icon and have to force quite.
I've tried:
capturing different lengths of material,
2 different capture devices, DV deck and camera,
mini dv tapes and dv cam,
the computer has sleep/rest mode turned off,
Basically FCP worked fine until I did an automated update this week. Any ideas? Should I update my Mac OS for £90, should I get a newer FCP (using FCP HD 4.5)
(ps away for easter so wont be able to try anything till i get back now)

The problem started this week when I connected it to the internet and updated all my software...(using FCP HD 4.5)
There is your problem. FCP 4.5 is not compatible with the latest version of Quicktime. You should have stayed with your working system.
YOu can try to use Pacifist to remove the latest QT and install an older one, but that isn't bulletproof.

YOu are better off reformatting and reinstalling your OLDER OS and QT. But, you can try it and see. QT 7.1.6 is the highest I'd recommend for FCP 4.5.

FCE HD Freezes while capturing HD Footage

i have a mac book pro with an external hard drive that holds 120 Gigs. i have roughly 18 gigs left. i'm currently capturing HD footage for a movie and FCE HD freezes while capturing fairly often. What should i do? Do i need a bigger external hard drive?

Exactly what it says. Because of the nature of the way USB drives work they are not suitable for video applications, particularly as the drive fills up or becomes fragmented. What kind of camera or deck are you using? What works for many situations is to daisy-chain the camera through the drive to the FireWire port. This usually does not work with Canon cameras however.

FCP HD 4.5 footage freezes during capture

Hello
Here we go again!
I just upgraded to Tiger 10.4.9 and QT 7.1.6 and I'm having issues with capturing footage. Basically the video in Log and Capture window freezes for 2-5 seconds periodically while capturing, so it skips and when I playback the captured clip, I get a jumpcut. The tape keeps rolling during capture and camera responds to all the controls. Any ideas on how to fix this glitch? Please advise!
Thank you.

Screen freezes while recording video.

Screen freezes while recording. I'm recording a video from Safari 7.1 using Quick Time Player 10.3 in OS10.9.5. The picture freezes after about an hour and a quarter. I'm using SoundFlower to capture the audio; the audio continues to flow and record while the picture remains static.

Hi again, I have found a solution for this! Go to the video in your iTunes library, and right click. Go to "Options" and then uncheck "Remember playback position". Once I did this the videos all played fine on my iPod.. they just won't keep track of where you left off. Hope this helps you both as well!

FCPro either freezes while FW drives connected or unmounts them...

FCPro keeps either freezing while FW drives are connected or unmounts them. Unmount is the wrong word, I actually get the 'put away incorrectly' error message. Occasionally FC runs OK while the drives are connected except it wont give me a video preview (through both Sony DSR-30 and my camera). Typically it'll run OK and will capture OK until it has to access the external drives to render or import, then it freezes and sometimes also breaks the connection to the drives.
This has just started happening on two diff FC systems in my office running two separate copies of Final Cut (one 4.5, the other 5.0) with various brands of FW drives connected.
I've reinstalled Final Cut, reinstalled the OS, trashed Pref's, run FC3, tried different FW cables and trashed the QT version receipts all to no avail.
The FW drives run fine in the Finder as long as FCut isn't open.
PLEASE HELP ME! Argh!

MSI P35 Neo-F (MS-7360): Computer randomly freezes while playing games

Hi there,
I have reached the end of my technical knowledge right now and I'm not even sure if this area of the forum is appropriate. The problem:
While playing higher-end games like Crysis 2, Anno 1404, Mass Effect 2 etc. my computer randomly freezes and the last few milliseconds of sound are being looped on my speakers (kind of like a buzzing sound).
By "freezing" I mean that my computer becomes unresponsive to any action other than pressing the Reset-Button or holding down the Power-Up-Button (no reaction to Ctrl+Alt+Del, Alt+F4, Alt+Tab, no mouse movement... you get it).
There's no exact timing as to when these freezes occur. The fastest freeze happened after less than a minute of playing a game, slowes one (just today after switching to my newer case with better cooling) took about 2 hours.
This freeze only occurs while my System is under load. No freezes while browsing the web, using office programs, listening to music or watching videos.
System Specs:
Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo-F (MSI-7360)
CPU: Intel Core2Quad Q6600 @2.4GHz
RAM: 4x 1GB DDR2-800 Corsair XMS2
Graphics: Gainward GeForce GTX 560 Ti, 1GB GDDR5 VRAM
PSU: Antec High Current Gamer 620W (upgraded from Xilence XP600, 600W)
New CPU Cooler: Arctic Freezer 13 Pro (upgraded from OEM Intel Boxed Cooler)
New Case: Zalman Z9 Plus w/ 4x 120 mm Fans (Upgraded from a Case with only 1x 250mm side Fan)
2 Western Digital HDD (1x 2TB, 1x320 GB)
1 DVD Reader/Burner (unimportant for that error I guess)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit
2 Screens: 1x 24" Asus VS248H and 1x 21" LG Flatron Wide W2240T
Since this error is bugging me for quite a while now and since this is not the first forum I'm trying to get help from, here's a list of steps i already took to get rid of it, obviously to no good use:
reinstalled games where the freeze occurred
updated all Drivers (including cleaning old versions in safe mode; also tried older drivers)
updated BIOS to v1.A0
Reinstalled Windows
bought new Case and CPU Cooler to improve Air Flow/Cooling
checked Seating of all components (took out, cleaned, reapplied thermal grease where neccessary, re-inserted)
cleaned old case of dust (obviously no problem in the new case, which is 2 days "old")
ran 7 sequences of Memtes86+ without any errors
ran Prime95 without any errors for about 45 Minutes
ran Furmark for 15 Minutes under full load (burn-in test) without any problems, even though my graphics card hit the 100°C frequency-cut level
ran Furmark and Prime95 simultaneously without any problems
took records of component temperatures and system voltages without noticing anything unusual (at least not after i switched to the newer PSU, which is about 1 Month old - yet didn't resolve the problem)
tested with cyclic removal of 1 RAM device to further rule out RAM malfunction
tested with only 2 RAM devices in dual channel mode (Slots 1 and 3)
tried to reduce RAM clock (800 MHz --> 667 MHz) to no avail
checked S.M.A.R.T. values of HDDs, no issues reported
tested without any background programs
raised/lowered voltages to RAM, CPU and Chipset in BIOS to increase logic circuit stability/decrease heat production
I need to mention: After I transferred my system to the new case, i was able to play longer than average compared to my old case. So I am guessing that improper cooling was part of the problem, yet improving cooling obviously didn't resolve it.
Since these freezes are really annoying and nobody could help me resolve this so far, I'm hoping to find some new ways of narrowing down the problem or even getting rid of it here.

Sebb

Lets be realistic. A system with a 560TI is recommended to have a around 31Amps under full load, a CX500 would be sufficient.
Have you monitored your CPU and memory utilisation ?
As suggested before, test the GPU in another computer to see if the behaviour is the same.
Whew, I thought for a second there that my common sense had left me when I saw that 60-Amp-Post ^^
Yes, I monitored CPU and RAM usage, there is no recognizeable pattern to be seen and it almost never happens under full load.
I will see if a friend of mine can test my GPU on his computer, and I will test it underclocked right away.
Though one more question regarding that: Should I only underclock GPU Core Clock or both Core and RAM clock?

Why does my entire computer freeze while opening or using After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5?

Just built a computer to meet all requirements for Adobe, Autodesk 3ds Max, and UDK, for school.

- I do have several plugins installed as well for After Effects only.
Autodesk 3ds Max 2012

As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Toshiba Satellite C655 SP4168M freezes while playing a game

So i've been having problems with mi laptop very recently with a game i'm playing (League of legends), the game normally works perfectly, but at random times it just completely freezes (making an awkward sttutering sound) and i have to forcefully shutdown and restart the PC. It doesnt happen ALL the time, but when it happens it's really annoying, and i can either happen once every week, or several times daily. I already repaired the video driver but that didnt help, i was thinking about updating the BIOS; but cant find the correct version for my laptop, and i cant even be sure that's actually the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try using a program like "Piriform Speccy" (free version), and monitor the CPU temps as you are using the system. If it gets up into the orange and red while watching videos, you may need to apply fresh thermal paste to the CPU.
My old L355 is starting to freeze while watching youtube videos the other day, and just confirmed that the CPU is overheating. Will be tearing it apart hopefully tonight to be cleaned up and have a fresh application of arctic silver on the CPU.

Ipod touch, Freezing while syncing.

everytime i connect my ipod it syncs my music and pictures fine, but when it starts to sync my apps it syncs about 3 apps. Then my ipod freezes while syncing, forcing me to restore my ipod from recovery mode. When i say it freezes, i mean that my ipod has the "Sync In Progress" screen, with the battery in the center, and on the bottom of the screen the "Slide To Cancel Sync" on the slider. normaly the slider is always flashing highlighting a few letters at a time, across the screen, saying "Slide To Cancel" When it freezes the slider stops flashing/scrolling and then a little spinning wheel starts to spin in the center of my ipod, on the battery logo. After about, 30 seconds the wheel stops spinning, my itunes freezes up, and my iPod touch freezes up. as soon as i disconect my frozen ipod, my itunes works again. then my ipod is stuck on the frozen "sync in progress" screen. i then have to do the long recovery/restore. Then i decided change my settings from automatic syncing to selecting what i sync. I synced my music, fine. I synced my Pictures, fine. i then decided to sync one app at a time. I first synced solitaire, fine. Then i synced sextuple, fine. Then i synced Super Monkey Ball, my ipod froze!!! So I thought that mabye thats what was freezing up my ipod. then i had to restore my ipod, again. and start the whole process over again. I synced sextuple, fine. Then i Synced super monkey ball, again, and it synced fine. then i synced solitaire, worked fine. then i synced Cube Runner, My ipod froze again. on a totaly different app. i had to restore from recovery mode again, and i synced my music, pictures, super monkey ball, solitaire, and sextuple. then i decided, i will just keep my ipod away from a computer so it won't happen again. so i have 23 apps, and i only have three on my ipod. i really want to keep trying to fix this, but i don't want to have to do a restore, and then have to resync all of my music/pictures again. I really want to know whats up with my ipod. PLEASE, IF ANYONE CAN HELP, PLEASE DO SO. I WILL BE TOTALY GREATFUL. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!

I have been having the same problem too. i was sick and tired of it so the i brought it to an apple store and basically just told me stuff i already know, then 2 days later it started happening again. So i went to the apple store yet again, different guy same nonsense, "let me check your battery" "let me see if you memory has problems" "don't have too many applications running at the same time" on and on.. all that happened is that they restored it and said it should work... well clearly i go home to sync it, everything freezes, i go back they give me a new one... yet here i am 3 days later still having the problems even with a new ipod. i reinstalled itunes like 6 times, restored my ipod 4 times... so basically everyone is having the same problem... i guess we just gotta wait til apple realizes that they have a big problem to fix and does something for us

[SOLVED] flashplugin video freezing while audio is fine

I saw a post about this on this forum, but I've been searching the forum for about 5 hours now and I can't find it, so I'll post a new topic.
When I do almost anything with adobe flash (in firefox or chromium) after about five seconds the visual freezes while the audio goes on. I hesitate to call it "video" because this happens with games and such, not just youtube-type videos. If I right click on the flash animation/video/whatever you want to call it, it starts working again, but only for a few seconds before the same thing happens again.
Also, if I make videos fullscreen, it's just a black screen the first time. I exit fullscreen and do it again and then it works. Sometimes the video for that freezes, too, but less often.
I've tried uncommenting EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1 in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and that doesn't help. In fact, if I try a fullscreen video with that uncommented, the X server crashes when I try to exit fullscreen.
I've got an intel video card and I've tried playing with xorg.conf enabling EXA with greedy MigrationHeuristic, UXA, XAA, I've tried turning off tiling. Nothing works. And I'm not using compiz or anything like that. I've tried everything I know. Anybody have any other suggestions??? (Please...?)

Premiere CC 2014 freezes while editing

I'm not sure how common this is, but I know others have complained about Premiere CC 2014 crashing their systems. For me, it freezes after editing for a while. During playback the video will freeze while the audio continues. Eventually the entire program will crash.
Its a shame because there is no way to export this project to Premiere CC, but I can't work this way. Does anyone know a fix for this?
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
16GB DDR3
Never had any trouble running any other application on my system. My coworkers have the same issue.
