PP CS4 not working

I have Premiere Pro CS4 as part of Creative Suite 4.  Has worked fine for
a year or so.  Have not used for a couple months and just tried to start a new project.
  I now have two problems.  First when I try to drag clip to the time line,
the Timeline Panel changes to a very distorted/chopped view and is unusable.  This is the case whether I am working with a new project or if I am working with an old project (that previously worked fine when created a year ago.  See below:
Also, when I try to exit, the exit screen acts like it can not read the mouse input.  It will only respond to keyboard input such as "Enter" to save, "Esc" to cancel or Control "N" to exit without save.
I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall, but no difference.  This is the case both immediately after the reinstall using V4 as well as after doing updates to Version 4.2.1.

This sounds like a classic video driver issue.
What make/model video card do you have?
What is the current video driver number/date?
I'd go to the mfgr's. Web site, and see if there is a newer driver  for your card and OS. If so, install that, reboot, launch CS4 and test.
While you are at it, check your audio driver and update that, if appropriate.
Good luck,
Hunt
PS - do not trust Windows to tell you if you have the latest driver. It is usually 6 mos. wrong, and I've read of cases, where the driver, that Windows said was the latest, being 4 years out of date.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 not working under MacOS 10.9

    on starting DW CS4 it asks for Java Runtime engine 6, but Mavericks has Java v.7 installed. Since Java 6 was part of the OS of previous systems, I cannot install it seperately, besides it would probably cause conflicts with OS 10.9. Do I have to trash my DW, or is there a workaround.
    Thanx

    If I follow click the instal button on
    I get the progress bar for about 1 sec and then the message about a supposed

    which is unreal, since my network works perfectly for any other task and I
    had even tried disabling the firewall and little snitch. Things are still

  • Javascript that worked in CS4 not working in CC

    I wrote a Javascript tool that creates perspective grids in Photoshop a while ago.  It works fine in Photoshop CS4.  However, I've been getting a few emails complaining that it does not work in CC.  I've checked the CC release of the Javascript in Photoshop reference guide, but it appears that nothing has changed relevant to my code since CS4.  Any idea what's happening in PS that is causing this script to fail?
    http://kitfox.com/projects/photoshopPersp/Perspective%20Grids.jsx
    Full webpage:
    http://kitfox.com/projects/photoshopPersp/index.html

    I've changed the script.  I now create my path layer using the below function.  However, even after explicitly changing the ruler units to PIXELS, the paths I create all seem to be measured in POINTS.  Even if the original ruler unit is PIXELS this still happens.  Is there any way around this (that is backwards compatable)?
    function createPathLayer(title, subPathArray)
        var docRef = app.activeDocument;
        var originalUnit = app.preferences.rulerUnits;
        alert("Orig units " + originalUnit);
        app.preferences.rulerUnits = Units.PIXELS;
        var myPathItem = docRef.pathItems.add(title, subPathArray);
        alert("New units " + Units.PIXELS);
        app.preferences.rulerUnits = originalUnit;

  • Edit in adobe photoshop cs4 not working

    Hi there!
    I have Lightroom 2.3 & Adobe Photoshop CS4 installed.
    The "edit in adobe photoshop cs4" function is not working for my RAW files (DNG). When I select "edit in adobe photoshop cs4", Photoshop is started up, but it doesn't load anything. It is working for other formats like JPG/TIF/PSD, as an -EDIT version though.
    Anyone any idea? Thanks in advance!

    Normally, when this happens it's because the version of Camera Raw installed with Photoshop doesn't support your camera. You haven't mentioned which camera you are using, but it's probably worthwhile downloading the latest version of Camera Raw (currently 5.3, but there's a release candidate of 5.4 available from http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Camera_Raw_5.4

  • Photo Edit in CS4 not working

    Hello,
    THE SETUP
    I have LR 3.3 and PS CS 4 Version 11.0.2 on a Mac running OS X.6.7.
    My "About Lightroom" screen reports the presence of Camera Raw 6.3.
    In my LR preferences under "External Editing" tab, I have the option to "Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4" as PSD / sRGB / 16 bit / rez 300. There is no "Additional External Editor" present.
    I have installed in Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-Ins/CS4/File Formats the Camera Raw Plug-in version 5.7. When I choose Photoshop>About Plugin>Camera Raw I see that CR version 5.7.0.213 is present.
    THE PROBLEM
    When I select photo(s) [CR2 file(s)] in LR3 and choose Photo>Edit in> none of the external edit-in-Photoshop options work. First, I get a message saying "This version of Lightroom may require the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in version 6.3 for full compatibility."
    I resent this suggestion, since that version of Camera Raw only works with CS5.
    When I click "Open Anyway," PS opens and loads, but that's it. None of the images from LR appear.
    I get the same (non)-results with all of the options (edit in CS4, HDR, panorama, smart object, etc.) under "Photo>Edit In." Photoshop launches, but no image appears.
    The only way I can get a photo to open in PS from within LR is to choose Photo>Edit in>Edit in Adobe Photoshop CS4, and then when the warning dialog comes up about the Camera Raw plug-in version, click "Render in Lightroom." When I do that, LR renders the image and it opens in CS4. But that doesn't help me do what I really want to do, which is to select bracketed exposures in LR, merge them to HDR in CS4, and save them back to LR.
    I have searched for help on this and come up dry. I did find this http://www.lightroomforums.net/showthread.php?9974-Open-as-layers-in-Photoshop-command-not -working, but I reinstalled the CR 5.7 plug-in as described and saw no change.
    Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Lr 3.3 and CS4 are not fully compatible so your experience is the result of that.
    You will have to bite the bullet and upgrade to CS5 if you dont want to "Render in LR".
    I've worked for quite a while with LR 3 and CS3 and experienced similar problems - the only way out is that you select "Render in LR".
    It's not such a big deal. When you select "Render in LR", Lr creates the psd that then opens in CS4.
    With CS5 it works this way: The RAW file opens in CS5 but when you save in CS5 a psd is generated.

  • CS4 not working with snow leopard

    Has anyone had any issues with CS4 Extended after upgrading to SnowLeopard?
    After upgrading to Snow Leopard osx10.6.8, my CS4 will not open. It crashes about 30 sec after i try to open it. I have tried restarting, but with no luck.
    Does anyone have any advice for what i can try to do to get CS4 back up and running?
    thanks!

    Try  this
    1. Quit Photoshop CS4
    2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
    3. Start Photoshop CS4. Photoshop CS4 a new preferences file.
    Also repair your permissions with the disk utility.
    If that does not work, create a new user account log in to the new user account launch Photoshop CS4.
    If it launches then your user account is corrupt or you havde a conflict you will have to find the conflict can be a file in your preferences folder or a login item or fant cache issue etc.

  • Adobe CS4 not Working with video

    I started a project in HDV.. 720P. And i tried importing some Video and its not working. Its stuck on the first frame only. Even When I Export. I exported an animation i did in Carrara in 720. Imported it into CS4 and it it stuck on the first frame. It's not the only video that doesn't work. A lot of my footage is not importing right. It's running perfectly in VLC and even in Vegas 9. I don't know why it's not working. Any Help fellas. I thought it might be a Codec problem but it's not . It should come withe Premiere. And i tried GSPOT and it said no codec needed. I'm primarily working with AVIs. I even tried changing the Extension. No luck Please. I need Help ASAP. Marketing assignment due soon.
    (2nd EXPLANATION SAME PROB)
    Hey Guys. Just got adobe Premiere CS4. I've been trying to import some footage into it for editing but it's either a hit or miss. I thought it was my computer and or graphics card but when i tried it on my PC instead of my laptop i had the same issue. I start with a new document HDV. With 720P at 25fps. And i tried importing footag but all i get it the first frame or so.. I Rendered an animation out of carrara withe 1280 X 768.. or whatever it was and it didnt budge.. Even after i pressed enter to render work area.. I tried importing some other footage and it didn't work.. I then tried importing other 720P stuff.. some work some didn't. But without audio. I imported a clip of Sherlock holmes in 720P. It looked nice.. but again.. no audio.. Do i need codecs? or something. I mean all the videos that i try to import play well in VLC.. I even tried changing the extension from avi, to mov, to mp4... Nothing.. CS4 even rejected MOV, and WMV... wierd.. ok.. well any ideas folks.. I ned this up and running asap. Becuse before i start working in after effects and all that i'd like to know this is working first.. or so god help me i'll use Vegas.. =(

    First let me say that I have been fighting PrPro CS4 for about 4-5 days now, and only just started reading in here to figure out what i could do to "fix" my problem. I was having all sorts of fits with the playback inside of PrPro freezing and then "not responding." I came across all kinds of posts about computers, memory, drivers and settings, operating systems and all of that. It wasn't until some one that is also having struggles stated that they had a USB drive for unrelated storage did the light go on. So I disconnected my 2 USB drives (one a 250GB desktop Thermaltake drive and the other a 320GB WD My Passport) and loaded up a project that had all been rendered useless. VOLA, working like a charm now. Just like old times, I love my PrPro CS4, where about 2 hours ago I was ready to start working on my resume...lol
    Bottom line, don't leave a USB drive hooked up.

  • Blending mode in Adobe Premier Pro CS4 not working???

    in Adobe Premier Pro CS4, the "multiply" blending feature is not  working properly. When there's no video underneath the "blending" layer,  it SHOULD not show anything, but instead the clip instead just shows  up.

    Well, the problem is that you're assuming that the "nothing" in the gaps in your PPro sequence is "something," when really, it actually IS "nothing"...
    OK, existentialism aside, when you see black in the Program Monitor that results from a gap between two clips, from a digital standpoint, there really is nothing there. Empty spaces in a PPro sequence are actually a fully transparent layer, created by an alpha channel that encompasses the entire frame. Since the Multiply mode is expecting RGB values to operate on, when it doesn't encounter any (due to the alpha channel) the effect is just ignored--that's why you see the clip with the Multiply mode when it crosses those gaps.
    You can correct this by filling your gaps with "real" black, either from an imported graphic or from the black video generator in PPro. Simply edit a bit of it into the gap so that there are no holes, and your multiplied clips will disappear.
    And for that matter, it's never a good idea to leave empty holes in a Premiere sequence; it's often the cause of rendering and exporting headaches.

  • Blur Tool in CS4 not working

    Blue Tool is not working in CS4 have no idea why.
    Maybe there is a setting that needs clearing? How to fix?

    It's a complex program.  Take some time to learn it.  The tools do very specific things, but they are just that - tools.  You need to learn how to use them well for the program to deliver its value.  Photoshop is not a program you can learn to use overnight.
    Making a selection then doing a gaussian blur does not blur the entire image.  Read what's written carefully, and if you don't understand something, look it up or ask here about it.  Someone will probably give step by step instructions:
    For example:
    1.  Activate the Polygonal Lasso tool in the Tools panel.
    2.  Set the Feather amount to a small value (0 or a few pixels) at the top of the Photoshop main window.
    3.  Click points all around what you want to blur.
    4.  Double click or return to the origin point to close the selection.
    5.  Choose Filter - Blur - Gaussian Blur, and dial in the amount of blur you want.
    Back to your original post - if you are not seeing screen updates with the Blur tool, it's possible your display driver is failing and you need to update it from the web site of the maker of your display card.

  • Photomerge cs4 not working

    Photomerge will not work in photoshop cs4. Once i select the source images in the photomerge panel and click ok, photoshop merges the images and once it gets to the last stage where the merged image should appear in layers, it just disappears. there is no trace of the image that never appeared or any history the i had merged any images at all. I have deleted photoshop and reinstalled it however the same problem still exists. I have also tried merging images from bridge but the same issue occurs. I have also tried various file sizes raw, small jpg. I use a macbook pro 2.53 with 4gb ram.  
    any help would be great.

    Is it fair to assume that prior to choosing Automate > Photomerge you opened the files, and after choosing Photomerge you chose Add Open Files...or did you skip a step?

  • Photoshop CS4 not working after installing on new machine

    Hi! I'm hoping someone here may have encountered this issue and can help.
    I switched from a 32-bit PC to a Mac running Windows 7 (64-bit) via Parallels. I installed CS4 and InDesign/ Acrobat are working fine but Photoshop only opens and lets me create but can't save any newly created file nor open anuything including JPGs and PSDs. The installation gave me two Photoshop versions, one says Photoshop 64 bit, and they're both saying "could not complete command because of a program error" when trying to save or "could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document" when trying to open. I installed the new patch just to be sure. Any ideas?

    I'll start by saying I don't know much about Parallels, as I use VMware myself.
    Are you trying to access the files across some kind of special connection to the files in your host's file system?
    You may well have a permissions issue.  You need to read up on how Parallels facilitates access of your hard drive files by the Windows user who's logged-in, and what permissions you have to set up to allow that user to access them freely.

  • Canon Lide 30 and CS4 -- Not Working Correctly

    I've read everything I can find here and still have not found a solution to the following:
    I've moved from a G5 to a 2.66 Quad -- PowerPC to Intel. Running 10.5.8 and CS4.
    File>Import does not list the Canon Scanner.
    Have done everything I've read about:
    Uninstalled and re-installed Canon Drivers.
    Have Canon Plug-In in CS4>PlugIn>Import/Export
    Have Twain from "Goodies" in same folder.
    Repaired permissions.
    Shut down and started up, again.
    The scanner will work using CanoScan and I can set it to open scan in Photoshop.
    VueScan works -- I'm using trial version as a test.
    Can anyone get this to work through the Import menu?
    Thanks.
    This is driving me nuts.

    the Cannon plugins are probably written for PowerPC. and the default is to not install the TWAIN.plugin its in the goodies folder.
    Keep in mind Photoshop has no scanning ability, It uses the plugin to access cannon's stand alone software.
    it seems a bit silly to tie up a $1000 application to use a $50 scanner. not many of us use Photoshop to scan with we all use stand alone software I just happen to use VueScan.

  • Illustrator CS4 not working since installing Yosemite

    Since installing Yosemite on my Macbook Pro, my CS4 Adobe Illustrator no longer works. The related files in the applications folder also show as being unavailable. All of the other programmes in the CS4 design suite still run without a problem. Can you please let me know how I can fix this issue. Thanks.

    sorry I've not seen this question sooner - I'm here looking of answers to a recent problem with Photoshop CS4 repeatedly crashing in Yosemite - been working fine for months until this week - roll on Serif Affinity Photo!... 
    However. I'm no illustrator expert but I have Ai CS4 on three Macs, all running Yosemite and Ai apparently working just fine as far as I can see (I'm not a frequent user of Ai so rarely touch the surface of features but it launches, opens Ai files supplied by clients and saves my edit just fine.

  • Photoshop CS4 not working with Maverick?

    I downloaded Maverick last night after using Photoshop CS4 all day. This morning when i tried to launch it, i got a message saying i needed to download Java SE 6 runtime. I said ok, it tries to install, but i keep getting the same error "Can not download software due to network error". I called Apple Support and they said if the software worked with Mountian Lion then it will work with Maverick I was told to call Acrobat. I did and they told me it was Apple's issue. After searching online it seems that it is Apple's issue. I tried downloading the SE 7 runtime that didn't work. Not sure what to do at this point. Any help would be apperciated.

    Here is the photo :
    I use a spyder to correct my display color. It seem to be blocking me from chaning the accelration.
    Could that be causing the problem ?

  • Actionscript created in CS4 not Working in CS5.5 Trial?

    I have an interview coming up and decieded to improve some older works to present. The files I am using were created using my schools computers and CS4 Flash and actionscript 3. However, since I do not have a copy of Flash myself, I downloaded the trial of CS5.5 to work with, but the first file I started editing (a simple game where I was going to fix an audio loop) is no longer working as I had previous left it.
    The main error I notice is my score counter which is meant to update every frame by 1, but currently I've been seeing it go from 0 to 4 to blank and then resetting.
    I did not edit this file since I submitted it, but there are a few errors happening when I run it using CS5.5 Flash. I have my older swf file on my laptops desktop and it runs perfectly. Is this a common occurance with bringing CS4 files into CS5 and CS5.5?
    Is there any other information I can give to help?

    Dear 555:
    I've posted to this forum before with questions related to code but no one could help me unless I posted at least the pertinent snippets of code, if not the entire code, so they could see and troubleshoot.  If your code is all located on frame 1 and is not too long it would be a good idea to post it to see if other viewers of this post can help.
