Multiprocessing issues in AE CS5.5

I've been having trouble rendering with MP enabled in AE CS5.5 on an 8 core Mac Pro, OS 10.6.8. AE generally hangs a lot when MP is on, but the real trouble comes when I try to render. Often renders will hang indefinitely, forcing me to restart AE and sometimes the whole system. On a fresh restart I can render a complete animation, but upon finishing the render the whole system hangs and I have to shut down/ start up the computer. I have tried decreasing the number of CPU's dedicated to AE, as well as various RAM allocations per CPU with no luck. While MP always seemed a bit flaky in previous versions, it's never consistently hung up my system before. I figure I'll try a reinstall, but if anyone has any other suggestions I'm all ears.

Hmm interesting - I've tested all of those recommended settings as well and never noticed it as bas as when I have Warp Stabilizer used in the project. What's frustrating is I thought this Multi-Processing 'startup time' was supposed to be improved in the latest versions.

Issues deactivating my CS5 Suit while trying to uninstall it

I need to format my macbook, so I'm having issues deactivating my CS5 Suit while trying to uninstall it, to reinstall it after the format has been completed. Anyone know whats going on?

you must deactivate before uninstalling and reformatting.
open a cs5 program>click help>deactivate.
if you're unable to do that, request an activation count reset by contacting adobe support by clicking here and, when available, click 'still need help', https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html

Issues installing Photoshop CS5 in my Mac Book Pro

I have heard that there are issues installing Photoshop CS5 in case sensitive Snow Leopard drives. How do I know if I have a case sensitive drive. I was able to download the 30 trial version of Photoshop CS5. My file system is listed as - Journaled HFS+. Is anyone familiar with this issue and will I have this issue installing Photoshop CS5 on my Mac? Thanks.

As you had already downloaded the installer, give it a try. Well if your file system is Journaled HFS+ installer will not report any error related to file system.
To check the file system -
Finder > File > New Finder Window
Select only the volume under Devices for which you wish to get the file system information.
File > Get Info
Under General tab check Format:
I believe it would be just "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in your case. For case-sensitive it would be like -
"Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)" or "Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)"

Issues with transferring CS5 project with Adobe Dynamic Links to CS5.5

Hello all!
Has anybody encountered the issue with transferring CS5 projects with Adobe Dynamic Links to CS5.5?
When I try to do it the movie hangs on at some clips which are AE compositions...
The CS5 project works perfectly.
All AE CS5 compositions are transerred to AE CS5.5 compositions.
All 'old' Adobe Dynamic Links in Pr CS5.5 project are changed to 'new' ones (I mean, links to AE CS5 composition changed to links to AE CS5.5 compositions)...
Any help will be appreciated

Tried to play around. Realised that a solution should be somewhere around re-rendering, 'cos linked AE compositions were always displayed in yellow as if they were original footages - even I changed a composition within AE, just transitions, if they were, changed to red in Pr Pro sequence...
However, I was unable to re-render 'Entire Work Area' even after deleting all Render Files, just 'Effects in Work Area'...
Then I simply created a new sequence and copied and pasted all the clips from original sequence. Now I was allowed to 'Render Entire Work Area'.
Voilà!

Performance issues with ID CS5

Am working on netowkred Windows XP Pro Intel Core 2 6300 1.83GHz 3 MB RAM computer and just installed CS5 Premium.
Am having issues with moving linked objects such as eps or jpegs (especially larger ones or grouped bunches of small jpeg pictures at once)
Have set preferences to Proxy and lowest display settings but does not help
Am not able to position the grouped items as they jump all over the place, and moving is very choppy even with smaller groups or single ai files.
There are 3 of us here with all same computer specs and we are all have same issue.
Any suggestions?

The 7.0.3 update is supposed to help with this, but the primary way to work around this is to open the preferences and set Live Screen Drawing to Delayed.
EPS images can also put a drag on performance, and are a dprecated format. Native .psd or .ai files are preferred.

Anyone having issues with InDesign (CS5) and Suitcase Fusion 3 (Mac)?

I've run into a problem that I think might be caused by Suitcase Fusion 3 [Version 14.2.0 (319)], but I'm wondering if anyone here is having any issues with InDesign and Suitcase Fusion like I am?
Just about every time I launch an InDesign document or an Illustrator document (don't seem to have the issue in Photoshop, strangely enough) it pretty much crashes to the point where it's a force quit. Before anyone asks the question, this is what I've done - I've reformatted my hard disk (even writing 0s!), done a clean install of Lion (10.7.3), clean install of Creative Suite 5 (and updates), clean install of Suitcase (and updates)...you get the idea. I'm still ending up with crashing just about every time I open a document in these two apps.
As an experiment I downloaded a (fully functioning) trial version of FontAgent Pro (which I didn't like, btw) and didn't encounter any crashing at all in either application.
I've opened a ticket with Adobe to see if they have any details as to whether this is a known conflict or whatever (though I don't hold much hope for getting help from them since it's looking more like a Suitcase issue than a Creative Suite one).
Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I can do to try and resolve this?
I'm in the middle of producing two magazines and I really really don't need this! Lol

From the lovely people at Extensis tech support -
Thanks for the info. As you said, if this is happening when you have only manually activated fonts, then the auto-activation isn't coming into play which does lead me to think it is related to the plug-in generally and maybe the sleep issue, which you say you definitely have. So I've added you to the sleep issue tracking.
If you find yourself coming back from putting the computer to sleep and the apps with Suitcase plugins have hung, do this:
1)      Go to your spotlight and type in "activity"
2)      Launch "Activity Monitor"
3)      Highlight the name of the adobe/quark application that is hanging by clicking it.
4)      Click the "Sample Process" button at the top of the screen.
5)      Click the "Save" button.
6)      Click the "Save" button again and save the file to your desktop.
7)      This will generate a file such as " Sample of Adobe Illustrator CS5.txt"
8)      Repeat this process with any other application that is hanging.
9)      Highlight the "FMCore" process by clicking it.
10) Click the "Sample Process" button at the top of the screen.
11) Click the "Save" button.
12) Click the "Save" button again and save the file to your desktop.
13) This will generate a file named " Sample of FMCore.txt"
14) Place these files along with the ".Plugins.txt" files created earlier into a new folder called "Plugins"
15) Right click (control+click) to compress into a .zip file.
Please attach this zip in reply to this mail.
When we are sure of a fix, we'll get back to you. In the meantime here are some workarounds:
Option 1:
1)      Back up your font sets by dragging them to the desktop
2)      Remove SF3 v14.2 by following the instructions here:
http://www.extensis.com/en/support/kb_article.jsp?articleNumber=4020
3)      Download and re-install Suitcase Fusion 3 (version 14.0.6) from:
http://dl.extensis.com/downloads/ST/EN/M/SuitcaseFusion3-M-1406-EN.zip
4)      Are there fonts and font sets in your old font vault you would like to recover?
If NO :
a)      Open SF3
b)      Simply drag and drop your original fonts into the SF3 "Font Library". This will copy the fonts into a new font vault.
If YES : Restore your old fontvault from the backup the removal tool created
a)      If you choose "Y" to KEEP your font vault earlier when you ran the removal script, on your desktop you will find a folder called "Extensis-Backup-today's date" that contains a backup of your previous suitcase fusion 3 fontvault.
b)      Move your old font vault from the "Extensis-Backup-today's date" folder on your desktop into this folder:
/Users/[your username]/Library/Extensis/Suitcase Fusion/Suitcase Fusion.fontvault
c)       Launch SF3 from your dock. you should now see all your old fonts and font sets.
Option 2:
Remove our auto-activation plugins and activate your fonts manually in SF3 and/or add your adobe/quark apps to the SF3 > Preferences > General > Global Auto-Activation Options list. here's how:
1)      In SF3: choose Suitcase Fusion 3 > Manage Plugins
2)      Uncheck the boxes for adobe/quark apps; this will remove our auto-activation plugins
3)      Choose SF3 > Preferences > General
4)      Under "Global Auto-Activation Options", press the "+" button to add your adobe/quark apps
Please note that "global auto-activation" is less accurate than our plugin-based auto-activation. Double check your font usage in your design app to confirm the correct font was loaded after opening a document.

Line alignment issue in InDesign CS5

Hi all,
After many fruitless hours of Googling, I'm really, really hoping to find some help here with a small InDesign CS5 issue I'm having. I'll try and keep this brief.
I'm currently designing a book in InDesign CS5 that has chapters that run one after the other. Whereas in most books a new chapter will start on a new page, here they flow together. For each chapter heading, I'm using a font called Orial, size 18. For the main text, I'm using Adobe Garamond Pro, size 12. When I have two solid pages of 12 point Adobe Garamond Pro, all is well. The alignment of lines on both pages are level with one another. That's just what I want.
However, if I have a double page spread and one of the pages has an 18pt Orial title on it (within all the 12pt Adobe Garamond Pro), this throws things out of whack, as you can see in the image below:
As you can see, the lines on page 79 are not level with those on page 78. Is there any way around this?
Many, many thanks for any help you can offer. I'm rather tearing my hair out here!

You'd have better luck posting this in the InDesign forum. However, I'll tell you right off the bat: what you want is "Snap to Baseline Grid." If you check out the help files on the baseline grid, you'll see that you have a lot of options (some of which are in Edit -> Preferences -> Grids). Read the help files, or just try searching Google with the name of the feature, then try it out, and come to the InDesign forum if there are parts of this feature that don't make sense to you.

Lost file associations (Not the old version issue) Win 7 & CS5

Something corrupted my installation of CS5 a month or so ago after it had been working correctly and I lost all the image file associations. Photoshop worked fine but only if I directly opened files from within. Also all the other image packages were missing from the file association list in the Windows 7 file associations tool, not just Photoshop. Using the Windows tool to find the programmes dot exe file and create an association also locked up at the select the right package phase.
I have fixed this now and my reason for posting is that several previously suggested fixes in both the MS Windows fora and elsewhere on these Adobe forums were either very complicated requiring direct registry editing or didn't work. It has taken me a while to find a work-around that worked, hence this post.
1) Firstly - as is stated elesewhere the obvious answer of simply reinstalling Photoshop over the existing copy doesn't work! Unfortunately it was a while before I found this out, with several time wasting retries of this as a fix attempt.
2) Not saying this is guaranteed to work in every case but I ran a 3rd party free Registry Cleaner tool, this appears to have fixed the bug in the registry allowing the Windows 7 File Associations tool to work properly again. Once that was fixed linking up each graphic type was simple.
Reason for posting is I wasted lots of time thinking the issue must have been a legacy from my earlier instal of a trial version of Master Suite or the older Photoshop 7 being replaced even though my CS5 edition had been working Ok for some time. because this is what is given as the usual cause. However I think in my case it was after loading and then deleting other graphics software, possibly Real Player, which had grabbed the associations and corruped registry settings somehow at uninstall. It appears registry cleaner restored the corruption and allowed the standard Win 7 tool to work again.
Hope this can help someone else.

First, let me say thanks to John for posting his experience here. I think that Adobe does a poor job of managing file associations, given that we do hear of a lot of folks who see them get fouled up due to doing normal things like uninstalling earlier versions.
I'd like to ask, though: Did you try using the Preferences - File Type Associations dialog in Bridge?

Not being a computer "geek" myself I personally can not say it is a bad thing to try
A comment on "registry cleaners" in general:
I am a career computer "geek", and yes, Curt's right: Registry cleaners in general are a terrible idea. There are a few that encompass some valuable functionality such as deletion of old files from TEMP folders, but that's something one can do on one's own as well.
It's simply impossible for the programmer of a piece of software to know what information can be safely deleted from YOUR file system or YOUR Windows registry, which is a database.
Nor is it necessary to "clean" a registry regularly, as some say, to keep a system working well. That's hype, propagated by the registry cleaner makers. I use a system every day that's on the same installation of Windows 7 that first went in at the end of 2009. It's stable and fast as ever. I've even done several hardware upgrades and restored the same OS setup using system image backups just to keep the same fully configured, perfectly working system.
Ever hear people claim they have to reinstall Windows every so often? One of the reasons could well be that they've used a registry cleaner.

French guy have exportation issue with AE CS5

Hello,
First, I'm French. My English is bad. I'm sorry.
So I am currently editing a documentary on Final Cut Pro 7.0.3
I work on Mac OS X Version 10.6.7
Processor: 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 16GB DDR3 1066 MHz
I shot with a Canon XF105.
I exported some shots that I wanted to edit or where I wanted to add animation (type banner presentation)
I have exported quicktime sequence for later import to After Effects CS5.
And when I have finished and I have exported those shots from After Effects, I find myself quite often with images that bug, much like when you re-record on a videotape at the time of VCRs.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/849/capturedcran20120507120.png/
I export in optimal rendering parameters, with the Quicktime Animation codec.
I really do not understand what the problem is due, I've never met before.
If you could help me, it would be great, because my deadline is approaching and I'm running out of ideas ...
Thank you in advance for your help!

The regularity of the patterns would suggest that these are decode errors in the MPEG stream, possibly a timecode issue. Can you open your footage natively in AE? Do you see the same artifacts then? Also what if you try other CoDecs like PNG or ProRes? In any case, double-check your framerate and export settings.

Radial fill gradient issue in Illustrator CS5

Recently created an illustration with an element — a compound path comprised of hundreds of small squares — filled with a radial gradient. The image displays properly, prints properly, and exports properly as a PDF. However, if I close the file and reopen it later, the element is no longer filled (although the fill is retained in the SWATCHES palette.

I am having the exact same problem. Illustator CS5 file previews correctly, saves to pdf correctly. But, when you close and reopen the Illustrator file, my gradient blend that was on the compound path is gone and the path is black. Gradient fill is still in my pallette and still assigned to another path in the file. Seems to be an issue with the compound path and the gradient fill. Any thoughts?

Printing issue in Photoshop CS5

I have an issue when printing in CS5 with my Epson Photo R3000 networked printer. I am running Windows 7 64bit and CS5 64bit. I have 2 Epson printers connected to my network by ethernet cables, 1 Epson PX720WD (Set as default printer in Windows) and an Epson Photo R3000. Te problem is as follows:
1 Go to print a photo and select the R3000 printer, select Print Settings (make changes as required) select ok and then print. This works fine the issue is that if you select print again and then select Print Settings I get an eror box with the message "because the requested printer does not exist". This can be overcome in 2 ways neither of which is convenient. Select the PX720WD printer for the Printer drop down box then go back and reselct The R3000. or make the R3000 printer the Windows default. When the R3000 is the default printer then ihe PX720WD will not print more than once without getting the "because the requested printer does not exist".
I have spent over and hour and a half chatting online to epson today without success and they decided that you should always have the printer you want to use set as the default. This is not acceptable as in other applications this issue does not exist, so maybe its a CS5 issue.
Any help with this matter would be most useful

If you don't have a second 'real' printer try installing a generic one. then at least you can switch to that one for a work-a-round. I have the exact same issue with my HPZ6100 60"on Win7 Pro 64, CS5 Extended. I thought it was HP's Win7 drivers since my old setup (XP and CS3) worked flawlessly with the HP. Actually the HP 64 bit drivers suck a lot with my current setup; unable to save or recall postscript page sizes and that 'printer doesn't exist every time I try printing a new file. Since I have a number of other printers installed I just do the 'switcheroo' and that takes care of it. Pain in the -ss but because HP has their heads up their backsides it's unlikely anyone there realizes that they used to make really nice printers and at one time had an excellent support system for imaging professionals. Grrr

Cross platform issues with InDesign CS5 or earlier

Potential client would like me (designer on a Mac) to design print docs which they can then edit on their PCs. Would love to hear feedback from others about any cross-platform issues/best practices suggestions. Thanks!

No problem at all, the only thing you have to do is make sure you both have the same fonts in a flavour (Opentype) that you can both read. So when you send them a Indesign document using these fonts they should be able to open it up on a PC without getting a "missing fonts" warning. Once you've got that sorted you're away, I do exactly this all the time.
Oh and of course you must have the same version of Indesign! You can save back one version (or from CS5.5 to CS4) but it's not recommended for this type of workflow.

Any issues with Premiere CS5 and CS4 on the same machine?

I want to install the trail version of Premiere CS5, but I want to know if I'll still be able to run CS4 if needed during the trial period, as well as after the trial period if I decide not to upgrade. Does uninstalling CS5 mess up CS4 in any way?
J. D.

The only issue I've found was related to tape capturing. My Canon XH A1 footage stopped being captured when I installed CS5 as trial (However I've had it as trial for a few hours only). Once I entered the licence it started working again. This is the only thing! Don't uninstall Acrobat Pro if you do have it installed.
This could have to do with the fact that as trial some codecs are not installed. Case in point is AME CS5, it is only able to export to a few formats as trial.
