Lag on the Timeline

Have been working on a project with a good system, edited and now cleaning up the sound, Ive started using the 'Denoiser' to clean the sound up and since then I note I'm getting a lag on the timeline, when scrubbing etc. This makes me wonder if I've got some sort of error or if I need to start rendering the areas I want to look at if I want to get rid of this lag. I don't think it's an error as I've reinstalled windows and Adobe & have a system way above spec. I don't get the lag on any backup versions until I get into versions that the 'denoiser' effect has been used in. Anyone havce this problem? Is rendering the key?

You need help Jim.

  • Why does playback on the timeline lag on my premiere elements 9 project?

    Whenever I playback my edit on the timeline, it starts off playing fine, but after a few seconds it starts to lag. I am using a macbook pro (2.4GHz intel core 2 duo processor, OS X V10.9.4), and was initially editing off a WD hard drive connected with a Firewire800 cable. I have shifted all my rushes and the premiere elements project file from the hard drive to my laptop, but that doesn't seem to work. Project settings and Clip settings seem to match, otherwise I wouldn't be able to open the project file anyway. I fiddled with some of the playback settings, but nothing seemed to work. I need to rush out a piece of work asap. Any ideas?

    AT Romano,
    Please see my actions taken regarding your questions below:
    One of my questions was attempting to determine if the total duration of clips on the Timeline has any effect on this random playback issue.
    Am I correct in assuming that you are saying that this Timeline playback lag can be seen even with only one 1 minute clip on the Timeline? If not,
    how many clips needed on that Timeline when the Timeline content playback starts to lag?
    The lag can also be seen with only one 1 minute clip on the timeline.
    If you start a new project with a different video source or just some jpg photos do you run into this Timeline content playback lag after rendering of that
    Timeline content?
    NO, this lag does not occur with a new project with different video source.
    Did you understand what I wrote early on about Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 being a 32 bit application when run on 32 or 64 bit computer? Do you use the computer for programs other than Premiere Elements? I asked since you wrote
    Upgraded the RAM. I'm now running on 2x 8GB of RAM.
    A 32 bit system is typically characterized by maximum supported installed RAM = 4 GB and typically 3.2 to 3.0 or less of that being available. So, why the upgrade to 16 GB of installed RAM?
    I guess I didn't quite understand the 32 bit system thing. But i kinda get the idea now. In any case, my computer seems to be running faster than usual even though it didn't solve the elements 9 lagging issue.
    Just recap time....
    1. Optimize the computer with free ccleaner for Mac run through
    CCleaner - Download
    Done.
    2. Make sure that there are no pile ups of preview files, conformed audio, and conformed video files. At this time, how much
    free hard drive space at the location where the Scratch Disks are directed?
    Done. About 870GB of free HD space. This is an external hard drive.
    3. Set Playback Quality to highest instead of automatic
    Did this, but the lagging becomes worse. It freezes longer on certain frames.
    4. Make sure video card/graphics card driver is up to date according to web site of manufacturer of the card
    According to Manufacturer, graphic cards installed on MacBook Pros are already optimised by Apple during the installation.
    5. If dual monitor system, disconnect one, use only one
    I am monitoring only from my laptop screen. No external monitors.
    6. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file...
    Users/Libraries/Application Support/Adobe/Premiere Elements/9.0
    I cannot seem to find this file.
    7. Export the lagging Timeline content to an appropriate file saved to the computer hard drive. Then determine if the playback of the export
    exhibits any lags.
    After export, there are no lags.
    8. Do you run into the problem with and without the antivirus disabled?
    I have no antivirus installed. But i did try turning on and off the firewall. With the firewall on, the lag seemed to get worse.
    9. For troubleshooting purposes only at this time, download and install the free 30 day tryout of Premiere Elements 12
    from Adobe....If it works for you, then we can target version 9....If it does not work for you, then we can target your computer.
    There is no Premiere elements 12 available for trial download. Only premiere elements 13. Have downloaded that and copied the project file into elements 13. The lag is still there, but not as bad. But, it is still there.

  • Premiere Pro CS5 won't Render. Freezes for 1-2 minutes when I try to edit the timeline.. Help!

    Hi Guys
    I'm new to this, but in desperate need of help. Thought i'd give it a shot and let you know what my problem is!
    Basically i'm editing a dance concert which is approx 2 hours long. I'm running a late 2011 model iMac w/ i7 Quadcore and 16GB of RAM.
    Using Sony XDCAM EX 1080p footage (2 cameras). Everything was going so well until I rendered (not export) the footage overnight. It only rendered less than half of the footage and won't allow me to render anymore.  Doesn't even show the details of the amount of frames.. estimated time etc.
    Heres a screen shot -
    I checked my hard drive space and there's 150 GB left so there's more than enough for it render.
    Another problem is that any editing i do to the timeline whether it's trimming, moving, copying etc. It just lags / freezes for about 1-2 minutes (has the loading Icon) then goes back to normal.
    Before I did the rendering last night, everything was fine. I was able to edit very smoothly without any lag or freezing. First time i've encountered this. I did the same production last year using the same cameras, file format and software version and it was fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Kind regards,
    Jeremy

    Remove the gaps in your timeline  or fill the gaps with black clips and try again.

  • Audio playback slows to around 80% in the timeline for no apparent reason

    Using FCP Studio 2 and halfway through editing a project, the audio playback in the timeline lagged to around 80% and made editing impossible. It just happened for no apparent reason. I've tried deleting preferences and that doesn't help.
    Strangely when I select the audio file from the bin it plays at normal speed in the canvas.
    The same thing happened to a project on my MacBook Pro. It's making life very difficult!! PLEASE HELP!

    Have you tried trashing your render files (Tools > Render Manager) and re-rendering?

  • Smoother Scrolling in the Timeline?

    Is there a setting that would allow me to scroll smoothly through the timeline when I drag the timeline indicator? As it is, when I drag it through the timeline it's very jumpy and lags behind the selection tool.

    If you're playing the timeline, the timeline scroll bar at the bottom of the timeline window will lag. If you use the hand tool, it's much less choppy. If you have a mouse with a track ball instead of a scroll wheel, you can use that and it's much better than the scroll bar. If you have a tablet, you can set up the stylus to scroll sideways while holding one of the stylus buttons. That's what I use, and it's very smooth.

  • Is there a way to see all my compound clips created on the timeline, in the browser as an accessible thumbnail list....?

    I am facing a problem that
    due to big footage I first extracted the seemingly fine clips in chunks in one timeline in various layers which is still enormous for my RAM
    now I have to take out smaller and more appropriate bits from this timeline
    I have opened another timeline where I just copy paste the best shots from my previous enormous timeline and this works fine due to less media for 6gb RAM mac pro
    but it is really tedious to go back and forth to copy paste
    it would be so wonderful if I could extract those bits from the clips just like we do with any other new footage from the browser window with all the clips visible
    I think one way can be to export these compound clips seperately and import them as events into the browser but that would be a generation loss
    is there any other way.....? to view these compound clips infront of my eyes all at once or keeping all that footage on the timeline besides the finalising layer is the only option...?
    I am facing this rare problem because I'm editing a music video and no shot is more than 2 seconds and that too from several groups of footage that has to be mixed.....so all the data has to be visible to decide if a bit of guitar piece would look good here or drums or close up or long shot.....so everything has to be seen....can you suggest me a smarter workaround please ?

    Thank you.Ok say for e.g.
    500 video files imported in fcpx
    800 clips extracted from these obviously on the timeline and joined/compounded according to their content in say 15 layers according to 15 instruments used ,so now just to see the entire usable footage ....
    now one 7 minute song sequence has to be made where bits would be simultaneously taken from these 15 layers as all instruments are playing simultaneously
    these shots are not more than 2 secs each according to the beat........
    when I try to work with these 15 layers as well as the Final primary layer that I'm making in the same timeline my fcpx becomes slow
    but when I drag individual layer to individual timelines it is fine so that is the only option
    but now for every 2 second bit I have to go back to the 15 layered timeline and find one single suitable shot
    So I was wondering is there a way to be able to see these layers and clips on the timeline in the browser in a systematic fashion like the way we get with keywords  ?
    and keywords can only be used in the imported clips already in the browser ,and not after we drag it on the timeline.....
    Till now I think exporting and importing back is the only option ...but is there another work around ?

  • How to I get a marker name to show in the timeline?

    I must have done something to disable it, but I recall marker names displaying in the Timeline when a marker is selected. Now I have to open the marker to see the name. How to I re-enable the display so marker names show in the timeline?
    (Yes I looked in the FCP manual, but just try and find something like that in the PDF file!)
    thanks

    You might try view>show overlays
    They're on clips and on the timeline itself.
    Show Overlays does display them on the timeline (not in the Viewer), but it also displays in/out points and audio timecode. Is it all or nothing?
    thanks,

  • "Program error" When I click on the timeline/motion controls or try to export/save as my animation. PS CC late 2014

    I have been working on an animation for an online ad. The file is 300 by 250. It's about 24 seconds long. I had completed and saved my work as a GIF file. I also saved some static JPGs of the animation. Everything was still working at this point. Then I closed Photoshop and reopened the PSD file to export it to a different format, but when I clicked on the time-marker in the timeline window or tried to edit my animation, I got this error message: "could not complete your request because of a program error." Watch the following video to see exactly what happens:
    I'm running Adobe Photoshop CC November 2014. I'm working on a PSD file, 24 seconds long, 30 fps.
    I looked in my library/preferances/adobe folder for photoshop's error log file. This is the error in that file:
    2014:11:12 18:30:17 : /Volumes/workarea/PS_15_Mac_Daily_Retail/20140730.r.148/photoshop/main/photoshop/sources/ ULinkManager.cpp : 1380 : REQUIRE failed
    Thank you so much for reading this. It sucks to work so long on an ad and then have this happen for seemingly no reason. Please help if you can.

    Looks like issues with some linked smart objects... You could try and copy/ move the whole shebang to another location in the hopes that it either fixes the issue or PS completely forgets the linked files completely so you might relink/ replace them.

  • Not happy with moving around keys on the timeline

    I just changed from Final Cut to Premiere CS5.0 and I really like it. Working on a Macbook Pro i5 2.3GHZ, Mac OSX 10.7 But I am not happy with moving around on the timeline. I was used to using the up and down arrows to move to next video edit point, marker point or audio edit point. I tried everything to change it, highlighted the track etc. It only works together with the FN key, which is a bit uncomfortable. And then it definetely is not going to any audio edit points (very annoying!!!) and marker points (have to use Q and W keys). It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not. Its such an esencial and easy to use tool while editing in a normal fast editing rythm. When I change it in the customize keyboard menu, into a Custom keyboard or FCP keyboard, it would ignore my changes on the arrowkeys, although it recognizes any other changes I do. Is it so complicate to change this issue in Premiere to how it is set in FCP? Its such an obvious tool, using the arow keys to move around, cannot beleive that we have to live with such a limitation. Please!!!

    You dont have to live with that at all if you are fixed only to what you have previously done.
    It makes me doubting if continuing with Premiere or not.
    There ya go!

  • Text created in Premiere showing other text files in the timeline and exports.

    Hi,
    I'm creating slates with text generated in Premiere. For each new slate I am duplicating a text layer, Option + Dragging the duplicate file over the text I'd like to replace, then opening the new text layer in the text editor and updating the information.
    Things seem fine at first and then randomly text layers in the timeline will show text from other files in the timeline. If I open the text file up in the text editor I see the correct info but not in the timeline.
    The only fix I have found is to delete render files, move the text layer around in the timeline, quit and re-open. But still, sometimes when I export, the export preview window will show the wrong text and when I export the file I create shows the wrong text as well.
    It seems like Premiere is getting confused by multiple text files in the timeline and is pointing to the wrong cache files.
    Thoughts would be a huge help!

    Thanks for the tip Kevin. Anything I can do to avoid this in the future?
    I've had this happen on a number of projects. My media and project files are on a SAN, cache and previews are local.
    Thanks,

  • STRANGE: single clip missing in export! (but still in the timeline)

    Strangest thing: I exported a project... and a SINGLE clip is missing. BUT... the "key" over that clip shows up (over "black.") Hmmm... So I went back to the timeline... the clip is STILL THERE! So, I re-rendered, exported again... SAME THING. That one darned clip goes "black" w/ the key over it. Any suggestions?

    NOTE: Had no problem exporting this same project before.
    1.) even clip info = 720 x 480 / 29.97 fps (same as ALL clips throughout entire project)
    2.) Timeline info = 720 x 480 DV Anamorphic 29.97
    3.) Here's the clip in the timeline. (see image, it's the gentleman in the labcoat) Amazingly, in the export the "keys" appear over black. Just this ONE clip is missing--audio and video. No other clips are affected.
    4.) Finally, here is how I am exporting the project: (see image)

  • Greetings, I am working in Final Cut Pro 7. In the timeline some clips show as offline. I tried going to sequence and reconnecting to media but it does not work. I can still see the video in the timeline and work with it. It just has the red box.

    If the clips are not actually missing, you could try to refresh the timeline by using cmd-0 and then going to the timeline options tab. Then select name only where it says "thumbnail display". Press ok to accept the change, then repeat the process to add thumbnails back to your timeline.

  • How do I pre-render only portions of the timeline or selected clips?

    I'm switching from Vegas Pro to Premiere Pro. In Vegas, you select a portion of the timeline, then hit control-B and it pre-renders that segment.
    In Premiere, you hit enter, but it doesn't pay attention to the selected clips, it just pre-renders the entire sequence.
    This wouldn't be such a big problem except I'm managing projects that are fairly long, with 20-30 sequences and 20 or so nested sequences in each project and I'm switching between around 18 different projects for a series of 23 or so videos.
    These vids are already taxing my system resources with only a few minutes or so (referencing about 80-120gb of source footage), but my office comp is kinda weak.
    The problem is that when I pre-render a nested sequence and bring it back to the main timeline, I have to pre-render it *again* after making the next set of adjustments (ie color correction, transitions etc). Then I have to do it AGAIN when I copy it to another timeline for another similar project.
    Every time, it can take as long as 15 or 20 minutes (my video card is an nVidia GTX 560 Ti, it has CUDA, but prem doesn't support it for some reason).
    When my main timeline glitched out, forcing me to split into different projects, it took me almost 4 hours just to copy things into place with the additional 20 minutes to load the glitched file.
    Then I had to go and pre-render everything again to work my edits back into place.
    Even when everything is 90% correctly laid out, I still have to wait for the entire sequence to finish pre-rendering.
    As above, in Vegas Pro, I just select a portion of the timeline and the pre-render sticks to that area.
    I saw an article that said you could create in and out points and use that for rendering, but it doesn't seem to be a CS6 thing.
    I heard that Adobe was trying to keep CS6 up to date as a parallel thing to CC. Surely I don't have to switch to a $600/year subscription just so I can pre-render portions of the timeline like a lower-end competitor program has had for something like 5 years...?
    What am I missing? There has to be a way to do this simply.

    Are you sure?
    I have only 3 options on my Sequence menu.
    The first is: Render Effects in Work Area (default shortcut - Enter)
    Then: Render Entire Work Area
    and: Render Audio
    No other Render options are available from that menu.
    Oddly, those two things are virtually identical. One of them shows 52 clips, the other showed 57 clips. With 26389 frames (approximately...) ETA is around 20-25 mins. That's not very workflow friendly.
    It is smart enough that if I pre-render once, making minor changes later makes for much less pre-rendering work, but because I'm working with so many similar projects and sequences, all of them end up needing to be completely re-pre-rendered even if I'm doing a copy-paste and I need to tweak a few little things in one area of the timeline.
    This was especially evident recently when in a 3 hour period, I had to go through 4 revisions and needed to keep my original iterations because the person who made the broad, sweeping decisions was making really bad decisions and I knew I would end up going back to my original plan and making a few comparatively simple changes (which is exactly what happened right after the 3 hours).
    Out of 3 hours, I could have lost a good hour and a half just waiting around for pre-rendering stuff that hard already been pre-rendered, but because it had been copy-pasted, Prem couldn't see those previous pre-renders.
    I actually only lost around 40 mins. But I had to reshoot footage, including setting up lights and camera angles, plus import and do color correction again thanks to no round-tripping to speedgrade and having shot in other areas with those cameras...
    If I had been doing it in Vegas, I would have spent only around 10 minutes doing those pre-renders. Oh and Vegas can use my GPU... I'm an Adobe guy mainly, so it's frustrating to see Vegas win on silly niggles like this.

  • Anyone had video just not play when on the timeline?

    Video is just not playing when pulled down to the timeline.  Seems to resolve itself for a bit after I reboot the program.

    Using optimized media should be fine to work with given those specs.
    Does the problem happen often? When you say it doesn't play, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. 
    One thing to check for is that the timeline scrollbar hasn't moved (vertically) so that the issue isn't just that you can't see it due to a scrolling issue. This has happened to me a few times -- especially when zooming in/out. I think it's a bug. But all you have to do is scroll up to get your clips back into view.
