Indesign CC export very slow

When Exporting a PDF from Indesign CC for a pront job the export time can be from very fast to VER VERY SLOW (have maxed at 45min) this is on the same document and the same export setting to the same location on a local disk.
Example:
I open the document and click export on a random day and click export with high quality settings for the PDF with bleed and crop marks this takes around 2 min.
Later that day i do it again and then the same process takes between 10-45 min.
This have been tested on 2 different computer at the company.
Have adobe adopted the Microsoft minute ????

  • InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text

    InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance when dragging images and changing text.
    Running on 2010 Macpro 2.4GHz. 8GB RAM. Any solutions? I've read through many forums on this and tried several fixes.

    Have exact same issue on  my Windows 7 machine. Resetting preferences is a workaround.
    So I start InDesign whilst holding down these keys.
    Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Cmd + Ctrl + Opt + Shift (Mac)
    Whilst inDesign is usable again with this fix- I have to do it every time so it trashes all my preferences so NOT GOOD long term fix. Otherwise InDesign freezes and can only be stopped by forcing a quit.
    I have manually deleted the preference files and I have created a brand new admin account - but still no luck - will be onto support tomorrow

  • Flash export very slow

    Hello!
    I did some captures (242 slides) but when I export the slides
    to a Flash file, and when I read this file, it is very slow! For
    instance, I can't see the animations completely, and the mouse
    movements are jerky.
    I tried to watch the project on a more powerful computer, but
    it's also very slow. Is my project too big? (98,8 Mo and 8,95 Mo
    for the Flash file).
    What can I do? I already resized it to 640x480. I still have
    to add some audio commentaries and I fear it might slow the project
    again. Thanks for your help!

    Hello ameloche35,
    Whilst it would be impossible for me analyze this without
    taking look at your source Captivate 2 file, I would suggest that
    you take a look at
    Exporting
    your Adobe Captivate 2 to Flash article. I have to be honest
    and say that having 242 slides won't help. I would try looking for
    any redundant or slides you can get rid of and see if that makes
    any difference.
    Tip: In Adobe Captivate 2 you can remove all unused items by
    showing the Library panel, clicking on the select unused items
    button on the Library tool bar and then clicking the delete button.
    Regards,
    Mark

  • CS6 After Effects PNG export very slow - Not Multi-Threaded?

    I am rendering an after effects project consisting of over 320,000 source frames of 4000x4000 resolution, outputting over 250,000 frames as PNG files.
    Rendering is instant on our machines, all time is spent "compressing and writing" frames. It is taking forever.
    We have several machines that are all windows 7, with 16 physical cores, 64GB ram, connected to a 4Gbit SAN.
    I did some experimenting, tried using all 16 cores, or 8 cores, or disabled multi-frame rendering even. When this project is rendering my cpu usage is almost non existent,. maybe 1%-5%  at times.
    with 16 frames at a time being rendered it is averaging between 1 and 7 seconds per frame depending on the content of the frame.
    Does Adobe have any plans to multi-thread the PNG exporter? or is there a faster 3rd party plugin out there i could use? It is very slow and doesn't tax the CPU's at all. Even on a single core it doesnt even use 100% cpu while its saving.
    I even tried loading one of the frames into photoshop and simpy hit save as a PNG and it took almost 15 seconds to compress and save. I did it again without compression and it saved the 40MB raw file instantly.
    That is terrible performance for machines like mine that are pretty much the fastest things out there.
    Thanks!

    I appreciate your attempt for a workaround solution, however as you well know you can't render to a video file from multiple machines. we must output directly to individual frames, I setup 8 machines to work on this project, if we did not use compression then we would be writing over 300MB/sec of data which would not be good for our fibre network which unfortunatly is only 4Gbit. And it would be about 10TB of data total.
    As for your workaround Im not sure we could gain speed with your method either way. spending the extra time to encode to a lossless format and then process again in AME sounds like it would take even more time, unless AME could create PNG files at some sort of ridiculous speed maxxing out every core at 100% or something to compress the PNG's. Out of curiosity I will throw some frames at AME and see how long it takes to compress and how much cpu it will use.
    thanks

  • Export very slow

    Exporting photos as JPG at 300 pixels per inch has become very slow.
    I using Lightroom V1.1, Windows XP home SP2, P4 3GHz, 1GB ram, 300 GB SATA with 115 GB free.
    It has taken 1 hour to export 130 JPG files converted from a 6.1 mega pixel camera raw file. I think it use to be much faster. My library contains 12266 photos (JPG, TIFF, and Raw).
    I've recently added more disks to my computer. I'm looking into disk defragmentation and anti-virus software to see if these are contributing to the problem. I'm using McAfee Virus Scan and anti-spy ware 8.5i (enterprise).
    Also note that my export directory is a sub-directory of my main photo directory which is c:\photos.
    I also check some previous exports from earlier this year. It took 10 minutes to export 112 photos similar in nature (raw to jpg).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • AME runs CPU at 100 percent and exports very slow

    I'd like to find out if there's something I have set incorrectly, either in AME or in the computer's settings. I regularly export videos from 1-4 hours in length. They are very basic (single camera, one layer, no effects, basically adding a title intro and outro screen to unedited interviews and lectures, and exporting for YouTube) The computer seems to take much longer than necessary to export these videos in AME (I'm currently waiting through a 4 hour video that has been encoding for 19 hours, with estimated 8 hours remaining) and it runs at 100% CPU usage while encoding.
    Here are some details on my setup:
    Computer: Dell Precision M6500 (mobile workstation)
    Processor: Itel Core i7 CPU
    RAM: 8 GB
    OS: 64 bit running Windows 7
    Free disc: 110GB of 284GB
    This system was purchased by my employer for the sole purpose of editing and exporting video. Is this a competent setup? Its about a year old now, and seemed to be a bit quicker with the encoding/exporting when it was new.
    Here's the details on the current project I'm waiting to encode/export:
    - 4 hour video timeline (comprised of four 1-hour Quicktime MOV videos sequenced in a single layer/track timeline) each Quicktime video is under 500MB
    - exporting H.264 Preset "YouTube HD" (VBR 1 pass, and all the following unchecked: render max depth, render max quality, use previews, use frame blending)
    - exporting by "queue" with estimated file size 9624MB
    The 1 hour files I received to put in my timeline are Quicktime this time, but I also receive AVCHD files, MPEGs, and other types, all with equally long encode/export times)
    Any suggestions or ideas will help....if nothing else to pass the time while I wait for this export!! Thanks

    Thanks very much for the input! Any and all ideas are greatly appreciated!
    Bill - so you are saying I need 3 disc drives to operate Premiere? My computer actually worked very well initially with its single HD, but I'm lloking into adding HD.
    As for RAM, Adobe said minimum is 1 or 2 GB, but recommended 4. So having 8GB is double that! Are you saying that you need 12 times the minimum to run this software normally?
    The GPU is NVIDIA Quadro FX 2800M - the Mercury option is greyed out in Premiere, so I can't choose it to change it from "software only" Does this NVIDIA card not work with Mercury?
    As for excess junk on the computer, the amount of material on there is constantly changing. Just depends on whether I'm on location or back at my office. The only software I have on it is things I use (mostly Microsoft Office apps and Adobe suite apps)
    Rallymax - I'll try to run Task Manager again while I export video next time. The CPU was running near 100% usgae while encoding before, but I didnt take note of  "Disk Que Length"
    What seemed to be happening was that the system would start up a long encoding project, and shortly after starting, it would bog down and start adding hours to the remaining time. I talked with Dell, and they had me run RealTemp and check the Dell diagnositcs Thermal Control Panel. The computer was running very hot, and they sent out a tech to replace the fans and heatsink. The computer, while only a year old, had taken on tons of dust, and the tech cleaned out cotton ball sized dustballs. He then replaced the fans/heatsink, and the system has been running much smoother ever since. I guess the system was starting fine, then overheating, and running slow for the duration of the encoding process as a result. Any ideas for a good small office air purifier/dust remover? The tech said this is a common problem, and nothing can be done about it.
    Along the way, I did manage to convince my workplace to pick up 16 more GB of RAM for me, which now brings me to 24GB total. If anyone knows how I can get the Mercury business working let me know. And thanks again for your help!

  • IDML files freeze up program, fonts won't show, exporting very slow

    I was contacted by someone from Adobe, then case was closed before I could get back to them with details
    Case #0186178987
    case was closed before resolution was reached. How do I re-open this? I tried the Customer Support Portal but it did not open the case - just logged it as closed again.
    I have PC, 64 bit, and am Creative Cloud team member.
    I am having issues with InDesign CC 2014:
    Updated program 2 weeks ago. Uninstalled an older version of InDesign yesterday, now InDesign files do not have the icon (they are blank) and computer does not recognize program to use when trying to open Indd files with Explorer, but they will open when in InDesign & use "file" "Open", etc.
    Oh, and trashed preferences yesterday with no result either.
    I am experiencing:
    1. freezing when trying to open IDML files, have to use task manager to close program
    2. fonts that are on my system (PC) not being automatically linked when InDesign files are opened and
    3. extended length of time to export files to PDF (last one took 13 minutes).
    Any ideas would be welcome!

  • InDesign CC 2014 very slow performance, almost unusable.

    Hello All,
    Running InDesign CC 2014 on Mid 2010 Mac Pro, 2.4GHz, 36GB RAM, OSX 10.9.4.
    When moving an image or text box InDesign hangs and beach ball spins. I've removed preferences, cleaned Mac cache and ran Onyx. Still slow with InDesign. Other CC apps work fine.
    I have the same Apps and set up on 4 other MacPros with no issues.
    Does anyone have a solution or a work round?
    Thanks

  • Indesign CS4 - now very slow

    On one identity (mac), our indesign is super slow.  Pinwheel displays every time we try to move an object or type character, etc.  Its seems to be less of a problem on a different identity on the same mac. 
    We tried everything we know to troubleshoot this issue.
    Please help.

    I'm having the same problem with Dreamweaver CS4.  For the first couple months, no problems.  Now I can't get anything done.  Apparently, this is a widespread problem because I see many similar complaints in other forums.  Just FYI, I'm running a Mac Pro with 10GB of RAM and no anti-virus.  I've tried a couple supposed fixes, such as deleting the CS4 preferences file, but it has no effect.  Everytime I click in the properties window to change a table cell size for example, I have to wait about five seconds to enter a value.  This is unacceptable and if I can't find a solution soon, I'm deleting Dreamweaver and going with another designer.

  • Exporting Very Slow from PPro CC to AME CC

    Hi, I am trying to export multiple sequences from Premiere CC to AME CC. On a different computer I was able to drag and drop all of the sequences into AME and they would be ready to compress in seconds...
    On the computer I am using now, I export via File >Export>Media and it takes forever to bring them into AME. Each sequence has to "prepare to export" and this is very time consuming since I am working with 20+ sequences at a time. Is there an option somewhere that will allow me to drag and drop again, or another way I can bring the sequences into encoder without having to wait? Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

    YES SIR!!!
    The Computer specs:
    Dell XPS (Windows 8)
    Intel Core i7-4500U @ 1.80GHz  2.40GHz
    8 GB RAM
    64 Bit
    Im exporting Mpeg Video and Audio (.mpa) for DVD. The computer it worked on before was the same exact computer. (Business PCs)
    The sofware is Premiere Pro CC and Media Encoder CC (as stated)
    Anything else?

  • AME H.264 Bluray Export Very Slow

    This my first time exporting since I installed version CC 2014. CC version was a lot quicker. In my resource monitor, the CPU tab shows only one of the 8 CPUs working at 100% while the other 7 CPUs are parked or not doing anything at all.
    Source footage is DNxHD. I am outputting a 20 minute sequence - says it will take 2 1/2 hours, which is way long.
    I just installed CC 2014 and started using it. Did not change any settings, except for scratch disks, media cache, etc. I assumed all my settings from the previous version transferred over, but not sure.
    Just want to know if there is a known issue before I start tinkering around
    My system specs:
    Adobe CC 2014 Creative Cloud Monthly Subscription
    I have the entire CC 2014 suite installed, but I use mostly Premiere, Encore, Photoshop, After Effects
    Camera: Canon EOS C100, Canon 5D Mark III DSLR with Atamos Ninja Blade and Ninja-2 recorders
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit SP1 Intel i7-2600k 3.4 GHz, 32GB RAM
    Intel 2600K Processor, MB: ASUS P8Z77-V
    Video:GeForce GTX580 Amp! 1.5 GB VRAM

    APMDesign Thanks for the tip, but it was working fine in version CC. 5-10 minutes tops for a sequence that length. Besides, the GPU should not cause 7 out of 8 CPUs to go to sleep during a CPU intensive operation.
    SAFEHARBOR11 Only Premiere's Fast Color Corrector - should not affect anything.
    BTW, I have been looking into to K4000 and the GTX 780. The way I understand it, the GTX has more cores, but the K4000 has much more VRAM. Then, it's a matter of cost.

  • InDesign CS4 very slow on a Mac

    Hello!
    I'm using ID CS4 on an iMac with 2,4 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB RAM. I'm writing my thesis in InDesign, so I have basically one big textframe per chapter in which all the text goes. My problem is, that InDesign is getting really slow when I type text, also in the story editor. There is a delay of around 3 seconds between typing and the appearance of the word in the document. During this delay, the CPU usage raises to almost 100 percent. I circumvent this problem by writing in a plain text editor and C&P it into InDesign, but since I have to make corrections here and there, it really drives me nuts.
    Are there any means of speeding this up?
    Thank You very much!
    Till

    Peter:
    I have tried and tried to post on the forums again. Signed in with 2 different names (don't ask!) and still can't get a new topic button. Here is my issue:
    I have a large scale file (several) that I'm working with. It is 60" x 210". The file made in ID is fine, but I am having a hard time making a proofing PDF. Tried Distilling, directly from the app (export), and making them into eps and opening them in Acrobat to create a 4 page file. All ways cropped the files.
    Do you by chance have a tip??? Please?!!
    And I figured out my loading of the application problem. It was so strange and many steps:
    1. Install software
    2. If you get a "licesnse expired" notice the...
    3. Change the date on your computer to Dec. 20, 2008 (it's stated differently in the Adobe info, but the phone support stated this date).
    4. Launch the app or any of the CS apps if you've loaded more.
    5. Go to HELP> Deactivate>Erase my serial number.
    6. Close the program.
    7. Open each application.
    7. Change the date back to today's date on your computer.
    8. The products should all launch correctly!

  • Export to text file very, very slow

    Hi, I am running 2.1.0.63 and doing an export of a query to a text file. The export was 66000 rows, but took incredibly almost around 2 hours to finish. The row counter in the status bar was very slow. The same exact query/export under 1.5.4 ran in about 5 mins. The row counter on both the fetching and exporting was just flying by.
    Has anybody else experienced this ? What could be causing it to run that slow under this release ?
    The other issue I have is once there has been no activity for a while, sqldeveloper hangs has to be restarted. I saw this being addressed in another post however, and will follow it there.
    Any ideas on when a patch will be made available to this release ?
    BTW, I really like some of the other new features of this release.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Ok, I think the issue was that I was exporting to a shared network drive. I redid it, saving it locally and it worked fine.
    I still have the issue of inactivity and having to restart sqldeveloper.
    Thanks.

  • InDesign CC very slow!

    Since I installed InDesign CC it works very slow. It's impossible to work on a project because it needs a long time to refresh the page, load the fonts, select a text...
    Instead InDesign CC works great as always.
    I have a MacPro 64 GB RAM 2x512 GB SSD 2x2.4 GHz 6 core Inter Xenon... so it's unacceptable that the new release works so bad
    Has anyone a solution?

    I had the same problem with Macbook pro retina
    But after i updated the Indesign Cc to 7.1 its worked very smoothly and much much better
    Try then let us know
    Good luck

  • InDesign 5.5 scrolling very slow on Macbook Pro

    Hi,
    I am using InDesign CS 5.5 (7.5.3) on a Macbook Pro - 2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7 w/ 8GB Ram and a 250GB SSD and AMD Radeon HD 6770M graphic card - and it's incredibly slow when scrolling up and down in a document. Admittedly that document has lots of big tifs embedded but still it feels very slow and often hangs on the spinning wheel. I've tried a helper app to switch the graphic cards and have also turned preflight off and set live screen drawing to delayed after reading some threads on here. It's especially bad when I come from another application but doesn't seem to make a difference how many other apps are open. Is this normal? Does anyone have any ideas how to improve performance?
    Thanks

    What about the display perfomance ?
    Go to View-->Diaply performance,  set it to Fast or Typical.
