Playback error - entire program freezes constantly at cuts!

Hi, this is a rather frusterating problem..
FCE is crashing consistently whenever, during playback, there is a cut in the video file. It only happens on one of the video tracks - I have two of them - maybe this could mean something?
I'm running FCEHD 3.01, if that matters.

Have a read of this previous thread:

Search for "Timeline freezes" there is a bit of info already here.

Error msg and freeze up on adobe elements 3.0

Hello. I get an error FFA-8-000D msg and the program freezes up. "Playback failed. Audio system does not seem to respond. Maybe card does not support full duplex mode." Did not do this before. Upgraded the realtek driver, no change. I have vista. Adobe's site said 3.0 was not compatible with vista, but I have used it on 4 projects in the past. Also, the audio is clipping out like it's to loud. I downloaded video from a Sony pd-150 that was recorded in the -20 to -5 range, with a little clipping occasionally, but not all the time.
Thanks a bunch.
Dave.

Have you installed the 3.02 update? It makes it Vista capable.

Image Analysis Threshold won't work in program program freezes

I am a new user to labview and I probably have an error in my code but the only problem is that there are no error messages I get from my code and it runs up to a point at which the program freezes and I can't click any buttons on the Front Panel. Basically everything works up to when I want to choose the Threshold of my image at this stage it creates an image of the values in the threshold buttons but I can't adjust the values anymore to find out the best values.
I should say that I have tried my Threshold code on its own and it seems to work fine so I am really confused as to what is getting muddled up!
Any help on what might be wrong would be helpful. I have added the VI and an image that I am analyzing.
The process currently goes as follows, you load the image, then choose a colour plane (usually green) that gets extracted. Then you draw a line on the border of the object and it rotates the image to make it straight and then you choose a ROI and it cuts the main object out. Finally at the point when you should be choosing a Threshold it hangs.
Thanks for any help!
Solved!

Hi,
The root of your problem is in how you have used multiple event structures. Typically, a program should just have one event structure, which handles all events during the program. The vision functions were all working correctly!
From looking at what you are trying to do, I think it would be worth using a well known architecture called the state machine with events. I'll attach some code framework to show you what it might look like for you, you can adapt it to suit your program. I hope its enough for you to get an idea of what I'm trying to show you, it doesn't have any code in it yet, but I think it gets the idea across, and if you combine it with the link below on state machines, it may help you to set out your code in a better architecture.

Animation Playback Errors

Hello,
I am troubleshooting playback errors in Cap 2 exes that
contains imported .swf and .avi files.
Errors: The exe will play back correctly any number of times.
Then, stops playing back correctly. I don't think this behavior
begins to occur until the first time a user interacts with the
playeback controlm but I cannot confirm that. After that, all bets
are off, even with complete restarts of the exe. Errors include
animation restarting, but not completing (most common error),
animation not restarting correctly, audio cutting in and out ,or
double audio. Even better, behavior on playback is intermittent.
After demonstrating incorrect behavior, another attempt from
restarting exe plays back correctly, or it will display different
or more extensive problematic behavior.
Movie Characteristics: Animation starts .05 seconds after
timeline start in some movies, at 0.0 in others. Animation is on
the first slide in most cases. Some movies mix .avi files with .swf
files. Others contain .swfs only. Some avis and swfs have click
boxes or highlight boxes associated. Original movies shot in
hypercam as .avi, then converted to .swf in Flash before import.
Not sure why some movies are imported as .avi...will pursue with
developer.
Troubleshooting so far: Assured that animation and slide
timing match. Assured that incoming video fps rates match movie fps
rates. Validated that click boxes are active through end of slide
timeline. Scouring the discussion threads.
Quick fix without trying it yet is to remove playback
control. However, this is not a solution. This is an extensive
series of topics that mix Cap slides with learner interaction. Want
to deliver playback control if at all possible.
Appreciate any and all insight and guidance.
Thanks in advance,
Robbin

We managed to fix the problem by deleting the photo transitions and doing them a dfferent way. I'll keep this thread bookmarked for the future, though, if we run across this problem again. Thanks!
Upon further testing, our problem is not resolved, now it will play through all the picture changes, but freeze on teh last one, while the audio continues. I looked into your suggestions, but it still doesn't work.

This got so bad, that I reformatted my entire drive, reinstalled all of the Apple programs from scratch, and then only select third party ones that I always use (Microsoft Office, OmniFocus, Firefox, Evernote). That's about it. The main program that constantly stalls out, though, is Apple Mail. I have 80% of my hard drive free (240GB out of 300GB). I cannot figure it out, and it's driving me nuts. Any suggestions?

Dear Hampton, I have exactly the same problem with my MacBook Pro and it seems to be a RAM problem. I took it to the Genius Bar and sadly the truth, which the Genius bar guys were reluctant to admit, is that there are issues with the way the OS manages RAM, failing to clear Inactive memory and keep Free memory at a healthy level. If you go to the Activity Monitor and check the system memory I bet you will find that whenever you're seeing the "Exited: Killed: 9" lines one after the other as posted, you Free Memory would have been gobbled up by Inactive Memory. Extra memory would seem to be the permanent solution, sadly, and Apple charge an arm and a leg for it. Or you may have to live like I am at the moment, i.e. having the Activity Monitor permanently on the dock to keep an eye on Inactive Memory. When Inactive Memory gets too big I launch Terminal (Utilities) and type "purge." It frees up memory by clearig Inactive memory so that your machine's memory is as fresh as it is soon after you've started it. Good luck

[SOLVED] KDE 4.10 freezes constantly

Hello
Since the 4.10 update, i've been experiencing some issues wich render my dayly use of the desktop unusable.
Every now and then, dolphin, gweenview, kdialog, and pretty much every kde app (okular seems an exception, but i'm not entirly sure about it) freeze constantly for 30-40 seconds every couple of minutes. Other apps (yakuake, ksysguard) response correctly while dolphin/gweenview/kdialog are frozen.
top/ksysguard show no anormal output.
I've tried a clean kde4 session (by deleting ~/.kde4) and a new user, and the problem persists. Don't know what else to try, nor wich logs to look.
Anyone experiencing similar issues? If there's a log I can take a look at, please tell me where it is.

Solved, I changed akonady's database to SQL lite instead of mySQL, and now seems to run fine.
EDIT: False positive, issue isen't solved. Further research indicates this might not be a kde related bug, but a chrome/chromium one, as posted here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=159237
EDIT2: Again, following https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=159237 recomendations, I switched to Chromiuim instead of Google Chrome and now everything works as expected (something related to nvidia's tmalloc implementation, read linked thread for further info)

Since installing Premiere Pro CC 2014 upgrade, Mac Pro jumpy video and freezes constantly

Since installing Premiere Pro CC 2014 upgrade, Mac Pro jumpy video and freezes constantly. Worked perfectly before. Anyone else finding these issues? I'm running a quad core Mac Pro, so it's definitely not the hardware.

I've maxed out the memory assignment, but this isn't a memory problem per se.
It looks like certain Premiere Pro conditions are associated with a huge increase in kernel_task memory, zeroing out any available free memory. In my case it seems to be associated with effects applied to titles or jpgs or imported psd (Photoshop) files.
Program restart pulls kernel memory back to the 1.3gb normal size.
Here's where I am at startup:
Within three minutes:

This error can be caused by the My Web Tattoo extension (application?) that shows as FBSMTWB in your user agent.

You may need to reset the user agent after you have removed that program.

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/">iPhoto Library Manager</a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

PE7 Memory Issues and Program Freezes Editing AVCHD

I am suffering recurring "low system memory" warnings and program freezes and "bombs" when trying to edit AVCHD video clips captured from my Sony HDR-S11 hard drive camcorder.
I just bought a brand new computer specifically for these editing chores. The system I have is WELL above the minimums specified in the PE7 documentation. I am running Win XP SP3 (clean installation on a 500 GB hard drive), Intel 9400 quad core processor, Asus P5KSE ATX motherboard, 4 GB of RAM, ATI Radeon 3600 video card with 512 MB on-board processing, etc. I have installed only minimal software on the computer, intending to dedicate it primarily to Blu-Ray video processing.
My current project is about 1 hour and 27 minutes long. I have tried editing with both the "hard drive camcorder" and "AVCHD" full-HD presets for the project. While the AVCHD preset produces clearly better results - at least initially - by the time I reach approximately 1 hour into the import of my video clips to the Sceneline, problems begin to occur. They are usually manifested as a warning dialog box informing me that I am running low on system memory and should save my project and proceed with caution. I save what I was doing and then try to "cautiously" continue with the editing. If I click and hold on the taskbar slider to move either forward or backward in the Sceneline, I almost always get a hang-up of the program wherein it will not react to any keyboard or mouse inputs. If I persist, sometimes the program will momentarily revive but further attempts to edit often result in a spontaneous shutdown of the program wherein PE7 abruptly closes and I am taken directly to my desktop.
And during the times that I am able to edit, I have encountered the same kind of glitchy previews of my AVCHD source data that many others have reported on these forums. In scanning those threads, it looks like we are all out of luck on that one until Adobe comes out with an upgraded version of PE7.
I have worked through the Help Section procedures "Troubleshooting system errors and freezes in Premier Elements 7 (Windows XP)" with no improvement. Many of those checks do not apply to me since I basically started with a blank hard drive. I have no old codecs loaded. I have the latest drivers for my motherboard and video card. I don't have any fonts installed that did not come with Windows or PE7. I uninstalled and reinstalled PE7. My virus software (McAfee) is up to date and I performed a total system scan with no findings. Nothing has really helped me to be able to do stable and reliable edits of my source clips.
This is especially frustrating because I used PE4 for more than a year and NEVER had any freezes or bombs when editing HDV clips from my previous Sony HDR-HC1K taped-based HD camcorder. I thought that creating a capable video-dedicated computer would insure that I wouldn't have problems like these with AVCHD. Looks like I was mistaken again.

I couldn't agree more about the basic non-functionality of PE7 when it comes to handling large AVCHD projects, David. We were both taken in by our previous favorable experiences with earlier versions of PE.
My original problem came with a project similar to your own: lots of smalll files (clips) that added up to a large total project. The problems with memory shortfall occur when you pull a large number of clips from the Media window down to the project line. I had no trouble getting my 552 individual clips downloaded from my camcorder to the "Get Media" window. It was only when I dragged them down into my Sceneline that the wheels started to come off. With a great deal of patience and several reboots, I got my 552 clips loaded into my project but got into immediate and deep trouble when trying to edit the raw footage into final form. Apparently PE7 juggles the huge (in my case about 18 GB) file every time you try to do an edit and the manipulation of the big file is what eats up the memory.
As pointed out by earlier posts, AVCHD is efficient as a compression format for the raw video files but is extemely processor and memory-intensive when you try to edit a file with a lot of individual clips.
I certainly didn't know that I was biting off such a big piece of new technology when I bought my new Sony AVCHD camcorder. I don't think the shortcomings of AVCHD are very widely appreciated except by people who have confronted them head-on as you and I have done.
I fear that the solution for these difficulties will be beyond the scope of a patch by Adobe. Both you and I are using what should be a near-state-of-the-art computer with appropriate hardware and we are barely able to work on an AVCHD project. And, yes, converting your project files to MPEG format is a key part of a semi-workable solution.
The multiple project export method that I outlined above is unquestionably "cheesy" as you suggest but some vatiation on it is about the best you are going to do with AVCHD in PE7 for the foreseeable future.

To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

Programs freeze then restart

I have the Quantum system you just did an upgrade to the guides and other things, I have 4 boxes, Some programs freeze for a second then restart a few seconds behind, also when I rewind a live program it stops during the playback and goes back to live program. I hope that makes sense. I rebooted all of the boxes and it still happens

Do you get a black screen for 2 seconds? If you do it is a known issue that is going to be fixed in the next firmware update in the middle of March.
