GUI Slow in 8.0.1 and 8.1 because of orphaned Adobe Premiere Pro Processes

Has anyone seen the GUI in 8.0.1 or 8.1 get very slow and noticed that they had orphaned PR processes?
We've never had performance issues on our Windows 7 Pro, latest SP and updates, i7 920, 48 GB, Nvidia GTX 480 and LSI 9286cv-8e. I have the latest Pluraleyes and Neat Video plugin's. The sequence contains DV, Canon MXF and 5d Mark III files and we've been working on it for months. We added new MXF and mov clips last week and have been copying them into the sequence from a Pluraleyes synced one. The sequence is DV NTSC, 29.97. I've worked with Adobe support, Case: 186016889, for 7 hours over the last few days after we first experienced the slowdown and I had upgraded to 8.1 thinking it would fix the problem ( I didn't check the forum first -( ). Adobe support had us clean the cache and rename %appdata%\Adobe\Premiere Pro and Libraries\Documents\Adobe directories to _old versions. No luck. I then removed and reinstalled 8.1 and finally today reinstalled 8.0.1, same problem.
The problem was intermittent and we finally realized there were 1+ orphaned processes when we looked in the Task Manager. No slowdown after killing the orphaned processes. I'm going to do more testing to see what sequence of events causes an orphaned process. I suspected and have read in other posts where this is happening when you work on another application, go back and close/reopen PR.
Hope someone has an answer. I've spent a good part of the day reviewing all the current posts and will attempt to get a repeatable case where the problem occurs and then deconstruct the sequence until it goes away.
Thanks...

How to work on the same project on two machines at the same time and also exchange progress seamlessly using Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014?

We are working on a film project on Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014. Two editors are working on the same film project (same pproj file ) on two machines. As a result the bin structure and the file structure is exactly the same. We even bought two licenses for the respective machines to make matters simple (at least we thought it would).
Now when we share a sequence between the two machines, every time we have to import and re-link media. Also each sequence import comes with its own set of files, which are actually already present in the project. Basically the new sequences are looking to re-link the media to the original/ source files only and are completely ignoring the file structure present in the project.
In all editing softwares, timeline/ sequence sharing is a very common practise when working on multiple machines. Why is it so tedious in CC 2014? Every time we share a sequence between the two machines the media gets doubled and tripled in the project. As a result the project file size is increasing perpetually. Already Premiere CC 2014 is extremely laggy and slow, and this stupid bug is making it more difficult for us to finish our work on time.
Has anybody ever faced this issue? How do we solve it? We are willing to try out any workflow that you can suggest.

Concurrently working on the same project it requires a specific implementation in all editing programs like Avid's Unity/ ISIS shared storage. That's what you are simply not considering. none of your issues would be any problem if your projects resided on a commonly accessed server or something like that. Check respective hardware solutions.

Icons/ Buttons and words are really small in Adobe Premiere Pro CC

Hey guys, i just downloaded adobe Premiere Pro CC and ive noticed that all of the words, icons and buttons are really small. After a while of editing my eyes will start to get really tired from straining to see the words. Is there any way i can make the butons/icons/words bigger? Thanks

Same here.
Looks fine for me.
I dont know any way to change it for you sorry... unless a setting in Personalise works.

Premiere cc 2014 crash with message "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again."

I updated to Premiere Pro CC 2014, all the other Adobe CC 2014 software works great, but Premiere doesnt even load. The starting page (frame) comes up - my whole computer slows down and after a minute or two it crashes completely and comes up with the message : "Adobe Premiere Pro could not find any capable video play modules. Please update your video display drivers and start again."
I'm running a macbook Pro 15" (2014) with 16GB RAM and 760GB SSD.
PLEASE HELP!

I can't seem to be able to open Adobe Premiere Pro after downloading it and saying it's in use.

I've downloaded Adobe Premiere Pro trial twice to see if the second time would work since the first didn't seem to. When I downloaded it twice, it says I was downloading the Adobe Premiere Pro family package and after downloading it, it said that the program was ready for use. I went to my start menu and search the program and all I got was the adobe premiere pro cs6 files and the picture of the purple cd and the set up and etc. Can someone please help me?
PS: I had downloaded it from the adobe website not from adobe creative cloud.

It won't even let me uninstall it. it says that my uninstallation encountered errors and when i click on the error summary idk what it means
Exit Code: 7

Help me before I turn to Adobe Premiere Pro and PC!

I am desperately trying to import HVD footage from a Sony HVR-A1 in OfflineRT mode. I have a pretty slow Mac which does not allow me to work with native HDV or Apple intermediate codec and I WILL HAVE TO turn to PC if I do not find a quick solution… Argh…
I have tried the following :
1. OfflineRT HD esay setup specifying HDV as Capture setup and Sony HDV 1081i50 Firewire.
- It has worked once and not more after that
- The sequence is in JPG compressed mode but clips are all captured in full HDV, which makes it impossible to edit in RT… I have no idea of what is going on…
2. Offline RT (DV)
- Using i-link downconvert mode to capture in OfflineRT mode
- Everything seems OK until I finally try to batch capture in HDV. I then systematically get error messages and only a small part of the clips are captured.
3. HDV capture and transfer to OfflineRT HD via Media Manager (recompress)
- Everything works fine (capture, recompress and batch capture).
- BUT: it seems that recompress with OfflineRT HD suppose that the original is letterbox so that when the original (as mine) is 16:9, the compressed output is strongly distorted.
- I tried to use custom recompress procedures but they all seem to produce outputs which cannot be edited in RT…
It has been two weeks now and I did not start editing yet… What should I do? Turn to PC and Adobe Premiere Pro 2.0?

Welcome to the forum Jean-Claude.
If you will provide your system specs, I'll bet that
someone here will get you running smoothly and
happily.
Sorry for that...
My spec are:
FCP5
Mac OSX
2 HD (one external via firewire)
G4 on PowerBook with 512M RAM
I am capturing directly via Firewire from a Sony HVR-A1 PAL
My main concern however is that my problem does not seem to come from hardware spec since I have no real problem in capturing in native HDV (although my computer is too slow to edit in native HDV or in Apple intermediate Codec). It seemed to me that OfflineRT HD was just the way it should work for me (I can find a proper computer to fine-tune the final work) but I have found nowhere successful reports of using this option...
EDIT, just came across your other post... "Offline
editing with FCP5 OfflineRT HD"...should try to keep
only one thread active... keeps everyone from getting
confused...
Sorry for that too... I am going to close the other one right now...

Help with Adobe Premiere Pro and AME CS6

Hi all,
First off, i would like to state that i'm pretty inexperienced in video editing, so please keep that in mind when answering or questioning something.I will try to explain my question to the best of my abilities, but please answer in a 'simple' manner, and don't shoot me when i miss something obvious.
I came across a 'performance?'-issue (slow exporting) for which i don't really know how to find the solution. I've been struggling with it for a while.
Your (any) help or insight is greatly appreciated!
My system:
Windows 7 Professional - 64 bit (Service Pack 1)
RAM 20 GB
Intel Core I73770 (dual quad core)
Direct x 11.0
Nvidia NVS 310
Adobe premiere pro CS6 (upgrading to adobe CC is unfortunately not an option)
Adobe media encoder CS6
They asked me to edit some video's on a regular basis, nothing complicated, just a 'training'-video. Length of video is about 2 hours edited.
File info:
Source file is 1920x1080 (1,0), 25fps, Upper, 2:11:10:24, 48000Hz, Stereo
There is one audio channel (left is standard mic, right is a shotgun mic) which is split to two audio channels, edited in aodbe audition (basic noise reduction)
I've been running into export times of over 12 hours (exported to mp4), which i'm guessing is a bit much.. . The slowness is also occuring with other export settings.
I came across a possible solution (in short: changing the Video Rendering and Playback in the project settings of APP) but that field is inactive for me...? what's up?
"Use Preview Files" works in CS5.5 but is "Useless" in CS6
I don't really know what to do from here, to figure out the solution. Any suggestions on fixing or troubleshooting the extremely long export times??
Thx in advance.

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6, Toshiba Qosmio and GoPro issues...

Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and GOPRO hero 3 mp4 videos. I am getting choppy play back and choppy scrubbing. My current setup is a Toshiba Qosmio x875-Q7390 Laptop. The laptop has an i7 processor, 16 gigs of ram, Nivida GTX670M video card with CUDA and 3 gigs of deticated ram, 2- 1TB HD's at 5,400 rpm and 4 3.0 USB ports. For setting up my scatch discs I use the C drive for software, the D drive for video and an external USB 3.0 device for playback. I did notice that Adobe doent have the drivers for my video card (so using the full potential of my card is not gonna happen), and my hard drives may be on the slow side, but play back is way slow and choppy just like on my older Toshiba i5 sattelite. If I replace my drives with 7200 rpm's will this help? Oh I forgot to mention that my C drive is a hybrid so a few gigs are solidstate.

You still want to apply the hack in order for Premiere Pro to use your card for GPU acceleration.
With Premiere Pro closed, delete the following file. Then reopen Premiere Pro and in Project Settings, ensure that you have it set for CUDA.

Adobe Premiere Pro becoming Extremely Slow

I was just editing a vacation video and all of a sudden premiere pro became so slow that it would not even play the video back - I restarted it and my computer multiple times - I ran virus checks and cleanups over and over again and nothing worked. I am completely stumped.....
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated - THANKS!

Ok:
Adobe Premiere Pro CC 7.22
I am currently installing the latest update
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Stuff in the Project:
MPEG-4 format with AVC video codec and AAC LC audio codec
MPEG-PS format with MPEG-2 Video video codec and MPEG-1 Audio Layer 2 audio codec
MPEG-4 format with AVC video codec and AAC LC audio codec
MPEG Audio format with MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 audio codec
A Title made in Premiere Pro
No error messages
I was trying to playback the video when the problem occurred
This has never happened before
I am also running After Effects and Photoshop
I have no third-party effects or codecs installed
Computer Hardware:
Intel i7 4770 CPU @ 3.4GHZ overclock to 4.0GHZ
16 GB RAM
AMD RADEON 7870
I am not using Mercury GPU Acceleration
This problem only effects the preview window
I will try to playback the video in the preview window and it will either go black or will lag a lot - then I will try to exit and shutdown adobe and it will stop responding - so I have to do a force close
This does not happen with any of my other projects - only this new one
I simply don't understand why this is happening - I deleted everything and got it down to only the GoPro videos and the music and it still does it - but I have done MANY videos with GoPro footage since that is my main camera and this does not happen - I can paste the entire project in another finished video and it works fine - but if I try to create a new project with Mercury GPU acceleration OFF and paste it in there it still freaks out
I have tried to export the section that is different from what I normally edit(the after effects animation) but nothing from the project will export or render - if I try Premiere Pro fails and has to be shutdown - I tried converting the animation to MP4 - which is what I normally edit and the project still freaks out
Here is a link to a video of the problem
THANKS!

Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos export process extremely slow!

Hello,
I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit videos, and until recently, it’s been working smoothly. The last few times I’ve tried to export, the process has been extremely slow—for example, yesterday the program told me it was going to take 22 hours to export a 527MB video.
My computer has an i7 processor and a decent video card (Radeon HD 7470) so I don’t think that’s the issue, but I can’t see it being the software since I had been successfully exporting videos until recently.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated—thanks!

Yes

AMD and Adobe Collaborate on Upcoming Version of Adobe Premiere Pro Software to Enable Breakthrough Video Editing Performance through Open Standards
AMD A-Series APU, Radeon and FirePro graphics technology work seamlessly with next version of Adobe Premiere Pro software to provide real-time editing, effects, compositing and color grading
http://www.amd.com/us/press-releases/Pages/amd-and-adobe-2013apr5.aspx
SUNNYVALE, Calif. —4/5/2013
AMD (NYSE: AMD) today announced its collaboration with Adobe Systems Incorporated to deliver OpenCL™ hardware-accelerated video editing for the first time on the Microsoft Windows platform with the next version of Adobe® Premiere® Pro. This collaboration further demonstrates AMD’s commitment to enabling partner ecosystems with cross-platform open standards, empowering Adobe to amplify the editing experience for creative professionals everywhere. The combination of expanded support for open standards and the Adobe Creative Cloud™ brings unmatched access to the most up-to-date and powerful professional post-production tools anywhere.
The next version of Adobe Premiere Pro has been optimized to take full advantage of a wider range of AMD professional- and consumer-class graphics processing units (GPUs) and accelerated processing units (APUs), delivering unprecedented real-time editing with formats from DV to HD and 4K Ultra HD at high frame rates. Now Adobe and AMD extend this advanced OpenCL functionality to creative professionals running the Windows operating system. The expanded support on Windows and OSX complements the already popular Mac OSX OpenCL support available on Adobe Premiere Pro.
“AMD and Adobe are dedicated to delivering professional- and consumer-level solutions that support open standards and provide artists everywhere with the ability to create at the speed of thought,” said Neal Robison, senior director, Software Alliances at AMD. “Through AMD’s strong relationship with Adobe, video editors no longer have to wait for the rendering of edits, effects and composites ─ most everything can now be achieved at high-quality in real-time.”
Coupling AMD graphics hardware with the latest Adobe software, video professionals and prosumers alike will benefit from seamless, high-quality feedback.

From its APUs and notebook graphics cards to professional workstation cards like the AMD FirePro™ W-series, AMD technology works transparently with Adobe Premiere Pro to provide scalable GPU-accelerated editing solutions for inspired prosumers and creative professionals everywhere. The software is accelerated by OpenCL to efficiently harness the compute power of AMD APU and graphics products and achieve up to 4.3X faster exports from a source format with effects to a preferred final destination format for quick and easy distribution and publishing1.
“We’re all about creating the best software possible, and at NAB we’re revealing some incredible enhancements to our video editing tools,” said Simon Williams, director of strategic relations at Adobe. “Our customers require powerful systems that enable them to work quickly and efficiently. While we already support OpenCL on the Mac, today’s announcement gives creative professionals the opportunity to tap into the massive compute resources of AMD APUs and GPUs on Windows-based PCs, broadening the type of accelerated experience they can have with our upcoming software.”

CS7... or CS6.5?
I don't have any links, but I remember a past discussion where the Adobe CEO said they would be going to an annual release cycle... with a .5 (paid) upgrade between the major version upgrades
If that is still true, that means that what will come out this year will be CS6.5

If you are using a Mac, simply hit Command-Spacebar to bring up Spotlight Search. Begin typing the name of the application and when you see what you are looking for, press enter. You should get a hit by the second or third letter you type. Great way to launch apps on computers that you are not familiar with.
Windows 7 and 8 should have something similar. I think you simply press the Windows key and begin typing. Press enter when you see a match.
Both Mac and Windows search tools can be customized to search for applications, files, emails and so forth. For Windows, look for Taskbar and Start Menu Properties. For Mac, go to Preferences Spotlight. Turn off items you know you won't need to speed up searches.

Does adobe Premiere Pro CC edit and export 4k and higher video resolutions?

Hey Guys I am new the forum but have been using adobe products for years. I am having some problems finding if Adobe Premiere Pro CC effectively lets you edit and export video at 4k and higher. I am having a custom built computer to specifically handle high resolution output and video editing. I have a 5k monitor to go with it as we;;. Long story short is I need to make sure I can edit and export at full resolution. I am not interested in compressing the video output to 1080P from a 4k video input source. It would be a shame if I have to learn a completely new software program for my business because I have loved previous versions of the adobe premiere pro. any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I am expected to get my custom build back this afternoon. Thanks in advance for any help provided!

Yes

Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

Is there a way we can edit and improve existing youtube videos by using premiere pro? Just simple changes like having professional looking opening and closing credits?

Assuming you do not have access to the "original" video/project and the YouTube video is the only copy, there is a method. Try "YouTube Downloader" which is a free software that allows you to download clips from YouTube as .mp4 files. You can then edit with Premiere, and re-encode again for upload to YouTube. Just keep in mind that you are re-compressing the video so there will be some quality loss. The better the quality of the original, the better the copy will hold up.
