Pinwheel of Death while importing folders to Premiere

Just got Adobe CC and am using the new Premiere Pro. Am working on a documentary film, with multiple camera sources. Have been importing files from all the different camera sources, including Panasonic VX200 files, Sony EX3, Canon 60D. All my folders and files have imported fine, except for one folder of Panasonic VX200 files (other folders from the same Camera on the same day loaded fine). When I attempt to import that particular folder, it almost loads, then I get the spinning wheel of death. Anyone know what causes this and how to fix this? Thanks

There are many possible causes of the symptoms that you describe. I assume this is a standalone machine (meaning not part of a domain) so many of the Directory Services issues can be discounted. However, do you have virtualization software installed? Have you run fsck to check for disk damage? Have you tried starting in Safe Mode? Also, since you appear to have more than one machine, I would recommend enabling Remote Login (SSH) from the Sharing Panel. Then when the system boots to the login window, use the other working machine to ssh into the one exhibiting trouble. Use top to watch active processes and tail to watch the log files (most likely system.log). Find out if they are reporting errors.
Also, since you say this never happens when it is at an Apple Store, I am also going to guess that you are using wired networking. Try logging into your machine with the Ethernet cable pulled out.
Let the forum know the results of these tests.
Hope this helps

Problem while importing files in premiere CS 5.5

Hi,
We tried to import a 25 minutes video file (format Quicktime, codec H.264) in premiere CS 5.5. The process stops after importing just a couple images (between 2 and 100). The same happend with other files formate.
Do anyone have an idea where the failure could come from ?
Thanks in advance,
Ray

Premiere CC 2014.1 + SAN: Can't import folders

We used to edit off an of-the-shelf NAS and just recently upgraded to a Facilis TerraBlock SAN.
Now whenever we try to import folders, Premiere won't import anything. The import dialogue shows up briefly, but the progress bar just skips to the end and no files show up in Premiere. Individual or multiple files will import fine if chosen directly, but as soon as anything is nested in a folder or subfolder, it just won't come in. We tried the import dialogue, media browser, Adobe Bridge and drag&drop from Finder. Importing folders from the NAS or local storage still works fine.
We're editing on multiple maxed-out 2013-iMacs (10.9.5) using CC 2014.1. The issue is persistent on all machines and through all versions of Premiere from CS6 to CC 2014.1.
Our current workaround is to import the folders into AfterEffects (which strangely works fine with the SAN) and then copy/paste them into Premiere.
Any ideas how to fix this issue?

I am having the same issue as IronAtin. Folders will not import from our Facilis Terrablock into Premiere CC 2014. This used to work just fine in Premiere CC. Please keep us updated as to any fixes/workarounds. Thanks.

Mac Mini extremely unresponsive, pinwheel of death all the time, fails reboot.

I got my mac mini 2011 the MC816LL/A model in February and don't give it much usage so I was surprised when it started behaving erratically and and giving me the pinwheel of death all the time, the issues started all of a sudden a couple of months ago. Even when I force reset the computer fails and then i have to turn it off completely and wait more than 15 mins to be able to use it again, totally ridiculous... I've read all the threads about the issue and they mention OSX lion being sluggish and also to reset PRAM as last resort after I've tried everything under the sun(uninstalling buggy software, repairing disk permissions, general maintenance... etc) I know there has to be something wrong on the software side because I still own an old PowerBook g4 that i got back in 04' and it has never given me any issues so I'm extremely fed up with this issue since this computer is supposed to be better. Any suggestions??

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
Select the CPU tab.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Step 2
You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.

I'm having the exact same issue, but still haven't figured out what it is. I note that at the top of this thread it indicates that there are two "helpful" entries and one "solved" entry, but I can't find the solved one, so maybe someone will repost it here or kindly link to it.
There is one icon missing though.
As I read through the excellent tutorial at http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/imovie_09stone.html I scroll down to the point where he talks about dragging music in from iTunes, which is what I'm trying to do. I can see, in his screen shot, the extra little icon that is a red oval and a white "1" in it. I don't get that icon when I am trying to drag my music into the video. I do get the green and white plus icon when I try to drag my music in. Also I DO get BOTH the red 1 and the green plus when I try dragging in a sound effect, which I can do with no problem. But why not the music?
I've been able to drag in music with no problem in other productions, so I can't figure out what is going on with this one. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere that got flipped, but I can't figure out where.
In desperation I also tried adding an extra title slide at the end of my video just to make sure there is more video time than music time in the production, but that didn't help at all.
Any help guys?
iMac 27" Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Hi
Due to some kind of copy protection in iTunes - I don't copy directly from this in iMovie
to my projects. (Most often the result of doing it in iMovie is a DVD without any sound)
I do
• In iTunes - collect needed audio into a new Playlist
• then burn this out as an Audio-CD .aiff (NOT .mp3)
• This CD I copy into a folder on my Mac (often containing other material that's connected to the project)
• And then I drag and drop these .aiff files into my movie project in iMovie.
This works Greatly and even more so when I do my DVD.
Yours Bengt W

Quits while importing; pictures in library folder don't show in window

Quits while importing; photos are in iPhoto Library, but don't show up
I have about 6500 photos in iPhoto 5.0.4. Everything worked well until this week when I went to import a series of new pictures. I import from a Scandisk card reader.
The process appeared to go well until the progress bar showed 1 photo remaining. After a time the application quit.
I tried again with the same result, several times.
I tried rebuilding the library. It appeared not to work.
I copied the library to another disk drive and tried to create a new library and copying back the pictures into the new library. It didn't work.
I trashed the software and reinstalled it, then copied the old pictures into the library and the new ones from my camera. Then I had to recreate the albums I had before. It worked.
This morning I shot more pictures and tried to add them to the library. Déja vu. It got to one picture remaining and quit.
I rebuilt the library. This time it seemed to work. The "new" pictures were still in the library folders on the hard drive but did not show up on the screen (one for each time I'd tried to load them with _1, _2, etc. added to the name, for each additional attempt, including the last one in the series).
I tried to add to the library. It quit at the one photo remaining point again.
Suggestions, please.
Alex Norton

Hi Alex,
Two things to suggest:
-Try a different card reader
-Use Image Capture to import your images to the computer. You will have much more control. Once images are downloaded you can put them in dated folders then import the folders to iPhoto.
This is my preferred method and is what I do.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.

Lost photos from SD cards in Mac while importing new pictures from iPhone 5

I imported photos to my MBP iPhoto from my camera, I subsequently selected those photos from my SD cards. After that I tried to import photos from my iPhone 5S to the same MBP. At the end there was an error message saying importing could not be done. Then I found out that the imported photos from my SD cards were gone. Is it because I used both my camera and iPhone the same day? How can I solve this problem?

Hi Elements User
The issue is not with how I view them in Elements but how Elements decides to re-name the pictures while importing them from my SD card to my hard drive. I would expect that it'll re-name the photos while uploading by using the custom name I gave it(ex Europe Vacation) and start the numbers (ex Europe Vacation 0001.jpg) with the oldest picture and work its way up. However is doing it folder by folder (folders in SD card) and using the chronological order inside each folder. This means that the photos in the most recent folder created by the camera will be re-named 0001-000x and the second most recent folder will be renamed 000x-000y and so on until the last folder. When I import photos using the Windows Importer it'll custom name each photo using the date/time taken in ascending order regardless of what folder they are in.
Any additional help will be appreciated as I'd like to use Elements to do the import, if not I'll have to go back and use the Windows Importer.

Maximum File Size of .dv Import File to Premiere Pro CS5?

Hello Community:
I searched this forum and Google in general, but could not find an absolute limit on the media file size I can import into a Premiere Pro CS5 project. I'm scheduled to process the ".DV" recording from a conference, which could go on for hours. I have asked the camera man to break up the recording in one-hour segments, but I'm getting some push-back.
Is there a specific size limitation on importing an NTFS file structure .dv file in Premiere Pro CS5?
Thanks,
Rich Locus

Same issue. I previously used NeoScene to convert .mov files from a Canon 5d mark ii to the easier to edit with Gopro Cineform .avi format in Premiere Pro CC. They used to work fine but now Premiere only recognizes a very small part of the file. The first 18 seconds of an 8 minute file.
I tried importing the file to a new clean scene and the problem remained.
I need to be able to work with this footage. Somehow Premiere is no longer able to properly read clips it used to be able to read.
I would like to hear something from Adobe on this issue.
EDIT: I just updated my GoPro software to 2.0 and the problem was instantly solved. The same might apply to TechSmith.
EDIT 2: Upon rendering the edit I discovered that while the entire length of the clip was represented it in fact stopped playing new frames at the same frame as it had before. So no luck. Updating GoPro Cineform made the length of the file display correctly (7min) but did not actually let me play the file beyond the first 18 seconds - it just showed the same frame.
I deleted all preview files and cleaned Media Cache files (under media/preferences) - this didn't help.
Finally I made the file offline, closed Premiere, changed the file name and re-opened Premiere. Then I right clicked over the file in the Project window and chose replace file to re-connect. The file finally came in correctly. I've now rendered it and it runs through the entire 7 min.

Can't import flip video - Premiere freezes

I'm using CS3 Premiere Pro, and am trying to import a flip .mp4 clip that is 1.07GB and roughly 30 min in length. When I try to import the clip - Premiere just freezes and I have to end the process. I've never had a problem like this before, and while I recently upgraded cameras to one that's 60fps - I have no problem importing shorter clips. I've searched, but have not seen any info on file size limits. Would appreciate any help - thanks!!!

Candygirl,
Can you please give us a bit more information.
Knowing about your computer, the CPU, installed RAM, OS and especially the full details of your I/O, i.e. all of your HDD's, their size, speed, controller type amount of free space on each, plus how you have them allocated.
Then, knowing the settings for your Sequence would be useful, along with the full specs. of the Flip's MP4 files, would be useful.
Good luck, and thanks for that info,
Hunt

Class loading exceptions while importing Spring, EHCache in BPMStudio 10g

Hi,
We are facing Class loading / Class NOt Found exceptions while importing Spring.jar and EHCache.jar in BPMStudio 10g Catalog and BPM Enterprise Server 10g. Java classes are bundled in an external JAR file. This JAR is referencing Spring and EHCache library. This Java component is invoked from an automatic activity in BPM process. Task execution is failing in BPM workspace in Studio and Enterprise server.
We tried copying the JARS in the following folders. But nothing is working.
D:\OraBPMStudioHome\lib
D:\OraBPMStudioHome\ext
D:\OraBPMStudioHome\webapps\workspace\WEB-INF\lib
D:\OraBPMStudioHome\webapps\workspace\WEB-INF\classes
<Enterprise_Server_WL_Home>/server/<Domain_Lib>

Ariel,
You are right. I have already added the JARS as external resource. I am getting the errors while cataloging Java component in BPM Studio in a Catalog Module. I am able to add Log4J Jar as an external resource and catalog the resource as java component. In case one JAR has a dependency on another JAR it is failing to catalog. In Eclipse or Weblogic Workshop 10g, we can add multiple JARS in the Project classpath and it works fine. In case of BPM Studio, we are getting Class Loading or ClassNotFound errors while cataloging multiple JAR files
Thanks

Final Cut Freezing Constantly: Pinwheels of Death!

Hey all,
I am editing a project in Final Cut 7.0.3, and about every 5-10 minutes I have to stop editing for 1-3 minutes while the pinwheel of death spins 'round and 'round. The problem is specific to my Mac computer.... when I edit the project on a Macbook laptop, the project works fine, despite the fact that this Mac is immensely more powerful than the Macbook.
I've searched multiple on-line forums, and have already tried the following:
(1) Rebooted Final Cut Pro
(2) Rebooted the whole computer
(3) Rebooted the whole computer in safe mode (holding down the Shift key)
(4) Trashed my preferences
(5) Repaired disk permissions, verified disks, etc. (in Disk Utility)
(5) Checked to make sure I wasn't editing in some silly format like h.264
(7) Broke my larger sequence into many more tiny sequences of about five minutes each (and man, it takes forever to edit this way, and doesn't help that much).
Not sure if it's of any help, but here's some additional info:
The computer's processor is 2x3.2 GHZ Quat-Core Intel Xeon, memory is 8 GB 800 MHz DDR2 FB-Dimm.
I'm editing EX-1 footage, and my Easy Setup looks like this:
My sequence settings look like this, which works brilliantly with my footage (no render bars--green, red, or otherwise):
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance.

Hey there, David,
My media is stored on an external hard drive: a 2.0 TB Lacie drive, which is 1.9 TB full. My guess is that you'll tell me that this hard drive is too full and I should put media onto an emptier drive. This external hard drive is mirrored identically onto another hard drive of the same make and model. I use this mirrored drive (also 1.9 TB out of 2.0 full) with my Macbook laptop--same media, same project--and it works totally fine.
Oddly enough, my Mac boots off of a different eternal hard drive. Due to problems with the internal drive, the system drive is now a 500 GB Lacie external hard drive; it is used nearly exclusively for booting the system, so only 50 GB are in use. The hard drive is connected with a firewire 800, the fastest connection the hard drive allows. Is it possible that booting the system off an external is bogging the system down?
One final addition to this stockpile of notes is that a professional editor recently stopped by to help me with other Final Cut problems, and he felt strongly that we change our presets to XDCAM EX. Before then, I was using the preset Apple ProRes 422, as shown in the image below. XDCAM EX is compatible with the camera's footage I was using, which seems like a cleaner set-up: no green render bars, etc. However, I wasn't having any of these pinwheel problems before we changed the settings. Is it possible that editing with XDCAM EX as a sequence setting is somehow overwhelming Final Cut? I'm not doing anything too intense--I'm happy to edit in a lower resolution now, and render it out later, so long as this will not effect getting the highest possible resolution in the end.

Mail and never ending spinning pinwheel of death! Help!

I'm running 10.5.6 on my 24'' aluminum/glass iMac, and when I open mail, I instantly get a spinning pinwheel of death that doesn't go away. I then have to force quit Mail, and if I open it again, the same thing happens.
This definitely *****, how would I go about re-installing mail? Is that the solution?

You don't need to reinstall mail, however, I do thing you need to reset it.
This is how you do it:
Quit mail (force quit it if necessary)
Delete the following files:
~\library\Preferences\com.apple.mail.plist
~\library\Preferences\com.apple.mail.RSS.plist
Move the folder Mail from ~\Library to your Desktop
Launch mail. It will ask you to configure a new account, if it doesn't click on the Mail menu\Preferences\Accounts\(+) to add a new account and follow the on screen instructions to add an account. if you don't know how to add an account follow this tutorial:
http://grumpynet.ath.cx/tutorials/configuremailforleopard/configuremail.php
If you need help finding the settings for your ISP check out this link or call your ISP:
http://grumpynet.ath.cx/Articles/Mailservers/mailservers1.php
After doing this you should have your mail working normally again.
NOTE: if you have folders created in your computer you can recover them by copying the Mail folder you moved to the desktop earlier into ~\Library and replace what's there. The folder ~\Library\Mail contains all your email messages and attachments, you can browse it and take a look at its structure if you want, is actually pretty cool and can help you understand how you can recover messages in the future or from another computer
NOTE 2: the term ~\ means your Home Folder (the folder with the icon of a house and your user name under Places in Finder)
I hope this help you fix your problem. Please post back to let us know if this fixed your problem or if you need more help

13 in mackbook pro- system pref..rainbow pinwheel of 'death'. black screen

every time I even attempt System Preferences, I get the little pinwheel of 'death', I am up to date on all my stuff so I am confused on what it could possibly be? I had saved an image off the internet, went to upload it to FaceBook and then as I went to Syst Pref to change something with my wireless setting, this is what had popped up. (last night) and today, my whole entire screen turned black while online doing some homework. Does anyone have any clue what this could be?

in my case, the performance update seems to have taken care of the problem - it hasn't recurred since applying the patch.
however, corsair has stopped shipment on their x256 drives, because they apparently do have some kind of firmware problem which is causing some disks to disappear permanently from the sata bus. i think that all these 256GB MLC drives are based on the indilix chip, and its likely that they all run the same firmware. so your crucial disk may have the same problem.
i don't know if crucial has a support forum, but it's worth looking to see if there is one. corsair is being very aggressive in doing RMAs and even giving you back a samsung-based SSD if you ask nicely. they seem to be taking this very seriously.
have you tried the performance update? in my experience it's worth a try.

Importing folders into albums (PE7) & keeping structure

hi,
Is there any way to import folders (w/pix) into photoshop elements 7 albums while keeping the folder structure in albums?
For example:
Folders
2009
+--> Jan
+--> Feb
+----> Kids
+----> animals
to the same but in Albums?
thanks
Jason

By the way, you can't find photos that are in two albums via searching using PSE commands.
In PSE 7, you can do this using the the Find > By Details command. But it's very clumsy, especially if you have lots of albums. It's a lot easier to do with tags.
You also can't limit a search to within an album, but you can limit a search to within a specific tag.
In PSE 7, sometimes you can use the Organize pane, but often you have to resort to the Find > By Details page.
For example, to find all the photos in an album containing a certain tag, first click the album and then the tag. If you want to find all the photos with a tag within a given time range, you can click the tag and then Find > Set Date Range. But that won't work with albums -- clicking an album clears any date range, so you'll have to use Find > By Details, which is tedious.
But your high-level point still holds in PSE 7: Adobe designed albums and tags for different purposes, and albums aren't full citizens when it comes to search.
Interestingly, the last Adobe PSE survey asked several questions about albums, indicating that the product manager is aware that there is confusion in the product design betwen tags and albums. I think Adobe has worked themselves into a corner: In PSE 6, they changed the name "collection" to "album" in an attempt to use a name that had more meaning to the typical user. But new users approach the product not knowing what tags are but thinking that they know what an "album" is, so of course they're going to use an "album", not a "tag". And then they discover their organization is crippled by all the restrictions PSE places on albums.
