PPro CS6 hangs computer

All of a sudden, PPro stops responding - correction, the WHOLE COMPUTER stops responding. Mouse won't move, alt-tab doesn't work, ctrl-alt-del doesn't work - I actually have to power cycle the machine.
This is not a very complex project (the project file is only ~1.4MB). Four bins for footage, audio, titles, & misc. extras, five sequences, and a few video effects. HDV footage from a Sony HVR-Z1P, approx 2.5 hours total.
I've been working this project (the first since I upgraded from 5.5) since Saturday 24 November. Up until 60 minutes ago, all was well. Then I switched from one sequence to another and it hung the computer. This machine has NOT had any driver updates since before I started the project. Nor has it had new or updated software installed today - including windows updates. I don't let anything update while I'm editing, and I don't update application software in the middle of a job unless it's a fix for a specific problem. There is no real-time anti-virus or anti-malware software on this machine, although I scan periodically.
I've tried to import the old project into a brand new project, and still it hangs. I open an old project, and it's fine, so I'm guessing I've got a corrupted project file. I'm about to try opening the previous version to see if that works, but I'll post this first in case the computer hangs again.
Is there any other way to "clean" a project file, or to run PPro in "safe mode" or a debug/logging mode?
I'll be returning to CS5.5 for the next project - perhaps wait a while until CS6 stabilises.

Yes, I made a new project and imported the old one. It locked up again when I tried to switch to a particular sequence.
I usually have 3 or 4 (or more) sequences when editing - one for each camera's footage, a "scratchpad" for testing or playing around with effects, and one called "assembly" where the actual edits happen.
This project locks the computer whenever I try to view the sequence containing camera 1's footage. Fortunately the "assembly" sequence seems to be OK - which is good, because I would NOT like to have to do it all from scratch. Maybe if I delete that sequence and create it again - it's just a container for viewing the footage from a particular camera, no great loss if it has to be deleted and recreated.

PPro CS6 Hanging on Startup - Crashes or stops working.

Hello all.
For some strange reason PPro CS6 does not want to start up today. I have unistalled the program and reinstalled via my Application Manager. I have performed the updates and rebooted. I am still having this problem. There are not 3rd party plugins for it. I have a problem detail list from my "stopped working" dialog box (Windows 7). It is a Problem Signature and the event is APPCRASH. Says Fault Module Name: dvamarshal.dll
AE CS6 boots up but only after a minute and then a warning advising that QT is not installed then after another minute I get an error advising Crash in progress <2184><DynamicLink>. Something wrong with my dynamiclinkmanager.exe??
Any thoughts?

I'm getting the same error after Premiere Pro CC starts up then crashes.
I'm running 64 bit Windows 7. I checked the color parameters, took ownership of the files, tried several admin cleaner schemes, uninstalled and re-installed and still it crashes.
Pre Pro worked fine in the beginning of the trial version except the last time it crashed, so I am peeved right now since I thought that buying the contract would update the program and fix that error. Nope. I don't have days to work on this so I am going to have to uninstall
Could this error "Stackhash Appcrash" have to do with Internet Explorer?
Because this is a brand new giant drive PC I bought just for video editing and it's crashing like this.
Grrr
If you have this problem you might try this -
Here is a Windows 7 and Vista StackHash and Appcrash Fix
1. Click on the Start menu and then go to the Control Panel
2. Click on System Maintenance and then System
3. Choose Advanced System Settings.
4. Under System Properties, select Settings from the Performance section at the top.
5. Click on the Data Execution Prevention tab.
6. Select “Turn on DEP for all programs and services except those I select”.
7. Find the executable file for the application that triggered the error. In Windows 7 and Vista, you can locate your GroupMail executable files (i.e. GMMailer.exe and GMEdit.exe) in C:\Program Files\GroupMail 5.
8. Select the application causing the error and click Open to add it to your DEP Exceptions list.
9. Click OK to save your new settings.

Illustrator CS6 hangs saving files to local HD while having multiple server share points mounted

Mac OS 10.6
Illustrator CS6
Illustrator CS6 hangs (spinning beach ball) when saving files to the computer's local HD while having multiple server share points mounted.
I am NOT opening or saving the file to or from a server.
The server is mounted so that I can move my saved file to it once complete.
Unmounting the servers fixes the problem and Illustrator CS6 returns to being normal (not causing a spinning beach ball).
This is repeatable, not intermitent.

We were having similar issues working over a network. I believe it's a Mac OS 10.6 issue, something to do with the Mac finder searching for file dates or metadata on the servers. From what I understand, this has been fixed in OS 10.7. We can't yet move to 10.7 and after trying many possible fixes, found that a Mac finder alternative, Path Finder, fixed most server delays. It's not free, but you can give it a 30 day trial to see if it fixes your issue. Here is a link to discussions about other suggested fixes:

Updating the Project Panel in PPro CS6 is horrendously slow! (But nothing else is affected)

Anytime I make a change to the project panel whether it's moving a clip to a folder, adding a description, or anything.... it freezes up for around 20 seconds before it does anything?! All other performance of PPro CS6 is fine - Timeline, Source and Program monitors, Effects window - none of these are slow, only in the project panel do I have an issue...
Does anyone know what may be causing this?
Thanks all!

I am updated to CS6.0.5
I have it in list view
I just tested it and it only seems to happen with this project
I have an NVidia GeForce 8800GT driver version 314.07
I haven't changed anything with my disk setup or my computer - I have 4 HDD's one is my system HDD, one has my Footage and Projects, one has all the preview/render files (Scratch disk), and the last one has archives of older Footage and projects
This problem affects everything in the project panel, no specific filetypes or anything.
There are quite a few clips in this project - over 400 clips - would that be causing this?
I am doing behind the scenes for a film and I keep adding to this project...
Thanks guys!

Premiere CS6 hangs when editing GoPro mp4

Hi all,
I'm working on a project that has footage from gopro hd hero2 (mp4 1080p 25fps).
When I scrub or play the gopro footage after a short while premiere hangs in a wierd way. The CTL moves, I can do edits (trims cut and pastes) but I have no preview and the timecode doesn't move anymore. after that the program usually becomes "not responding".
I tried converting some of the footage to AVI with UT video codec (I wasn't aware of Cineform until now) these videos work better but still get stuck in the end.
is my system to weak to handle this kind of footage? (works fine with 1080p avchd files)
Maybe there's something else I can check?
Any help would be very appreciated, I'm getting tired of the frequent restarts.
System Info:
PC windows 7 64 bit
6 gig RAM (TOO WEAK?)
footage on Raid 0 array
Premiere pro CS6
Video Card: GeForce 7900 GS 256mb (TOO WEAK?)
CPU: i7
Thanks!

When you first import a file and put it on the timeline, is there a red line over the video?
If yes, you do not have a correct project sequence
Please NOTE that the PPro CS6 screen may look a bit different

How can I get PPro CS6 timeline to correctly show clip stretched in AE?

I have a 2 second clip in my timeline in PPro CS6 that I want to stretch to roughly 18 seconds. I did the following steps:
1. right clicked on the clip in the timeline and chose Replace with AE composition
2. when AE opened, I clicked on stretch in the composition and stretched it to 1000%
3. I changed the composition settings to reflect the new duration of 18 seconds so I could view the entire clip in the timeline
4. With the footage highlighted, I went to layer/frame blending and picked frame mix
5. on the composition timeline, I toggled the frame blending on
6. saved the AE composition
7. Back in PPro, the clip is now pink and shows that it's a linked AE composition, but the length of the clip has not changed and therefore only plays the 1st 2 seconds of the clip
In order to see the entire AE linked clip, I have to either click on the AE linked clip that shows in the project panel, down to the timeline or right click on the clip already in the timeline and choose speed/duration. Unlock the link between duration & speed and change the duration to the length of the AE stretched clip, leaving the speed at 100%.
My question, how can I make the AE linked clip automatically show correctly in PPro?
Also a related question, since the composition is a linked compostion in AE, the frame blending box isn't available on the composition timeline so I have to go to Layer/Frame blending to turn frame blending on. Is this correct? If so, how can you set the quality to draft or best? Also should I pick frame mix or pixel motion to get the smoothest frame blending?

Fuzzy and Ann are correct in my opinion. Premiere Pro thinks that the duration on the timeline is just the first part of a clip that has been given a rather long handle, so to speak.
Just drag it out as far as it goes. Premiere Pro will not let you drag it out farther than the end of the comp under these particular circumstances.
Why not do that automagically for you? Too dangerous. What would it do with anything on the sequence out to the right of the clip? Overwrite it or push it?
Now, I suppose that a good way to do that would be to alert you about the problem when you return to Premiere Pro and ask you how you want it handled, but that would take a Feature Request. And I am not sure what would need to happen if you had made a bunch of changes to other links other than that one before returning to Premiere Pro.
Before I suggest that you do that, I have to ask why you didn't just use the Time Remapping feature of Premiere Pro do do the same job. That way Premiere Pro would have known what you wanted to do. I understand that Timewarp and Time Remapping both have different strong and weak points, I am just curious if you tested both and decided on using After Effects for a particular reason.

Fix for CS5 & CS6 Hangs with Flashback Virus??

I recently found that my imac was infected with the Flashback Virus.
Ever since then, both CS5 and CS6 hang when trying to open them from Lightroom 4 or 3 using 'edit in.'
This is isolated to my imac since Lightroom 3 & 4 work as expected with CS5 & 6 with my macbook.
I have an appt with the Geniuses at the Apple Store tomorrow to delete the virus (Norton can identify it, but can't delete it. So what are they good for?).
My questions are:
1. Should I ask the experts at Apple to do anything in particular that can affect this problem, or
2. Will a simple 'uninstall'/'reinstall' for LR and CS5 & 6 be sufficient?
Recommendations from the Adobe experts will be greatly appreciated.
Chris Bernhardt

Oh well, the story continues (after I confirmed that CS5 works as expected after an 'uninstall/reinstall').
I deleted the CS6beta and then reinstalled it.
I then tried launching it from LR4 and CS6 hangs.
I then tried is from LR3 and CS6 works.
I then loaded LR4.1 and tried to launch it (all by itself) and LR4.1 hangs (never finishes loading the last photo viewed prior to quitting LR4).
I then deleted LR4.1 and reloaded LR4.0.
LR4.0 launched and it successfully launched CS5.
My conclusion - on my system there are two problems - one where LR4.1hangs and then another where CS6 hangs when trying to launch from LR4.0.
So for now, I'll continue to use LR4.0 and CS5.
I hope this helps with the development of LR4.1 and CS6.
I'll post this separately so it comes to the attention of other members of the Adobe team

PPro CS6 Crashes on Exit in Windows 7 64bit

With any PPro project, when I click to exit the program, there's about a 1-2 second delay, the PPro window is dimmed and a few seconds later a dialog pops up stating that "PPro CS6 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available." Closing this dialog then closes PPro. I've uninstalled Production Premium, cleaned out the registry and re-installed it but it still occurs even with default settings.
Even with a new basic DV-NTSC project with nothing added to it yet, this happens. Open it, wait a few seconds, then close it.
I have the following additional info:
PPro CS6 6.01
Widnows 7 64bit with all updates
nVidia (eVga) GTX-580 with latest drivers
32GB RAM
8GB Pagefile
The Application Error event log shows:

I hope somebody has an idea about what to do because this is very annoying.

Well, it appears that my workspace, that I've used over the past couple of years, was causing the problem. After changing workspaces and creating a new one (and unchecking Import workspace from projects), things are working properly again. I guess it somehow got corrupted. Wow, something so simple.

InDesign CS5.5 and CS6 Hang while opening document

I have the following problem:
Indesign CS5.5 CS6 and hang up several times a day when opening documents on. the user can not make more in the program and must kill the process. After reopening the document opens without problems (probably the recovery file). I have tried all known solutions (delete Preferences, user with admin privileges, delete caches, safe boot, ...)
here a hang report, which meanwhile has been created.

PPro cs6 - Audition cs6 - PPro, round trip problem

I'm having trouble completing the round trip. I got my audio tracks from PPro CS6 to Audition CS6 without problems, right by the manual. But I'm having trouble getting that audio work back into PPro.
I'm working a mid-sized project (one hour class, two cameras, etc. headed for DVD). Got edit lock. Everything is done now except for cleaning up audio. After the audio I can send the whole lot to Encore for DVD making. But first, audio.
Took the entire sequence to Audition via PPro's "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..." path. This worked just fine. It pushed all the audio files to Audition, Audition opened up and gave me a "make an Audition project" dialog box, etc. Nearly 100 files came over to Audition, on the right tracks, in the right order. Very nice. Made my changes. So far so good.
What I've read in the manual says that all I have to do when I'm done is "File...Save" in Audition, then PPro will have and use the changes. Sorta like Dynamic Link, but different. So I did the the project save.
At this point, things deviated a little from the plan. I started up PPro, opened the project, and no sign of the Audition work. Can't find a file anywhere in the project panel that says Audition on it. The files on the timeline are still the dark green of the multi-camera edit, not the lighter green of an Audition file. When I've done this for individual clips, I've gotten back a file with a name like "*Audio Extracted_1.wav" that shows up with the same green as the Audition icon on my desktop.
So I thought, fine. Not as easy as I had hoped. I'll just have to import it manually. But PPro doesn't seem to have any idea how to deal with a *.sesx file, which is the project file from Audition.
Should I be exporting, say, a *.wav file from Audition (how?) and import that into PPro? And if I do, is there a good workflow to re-sync this audio with my video tracks?
I'm confused. Don't know what I did wrong. Don't know what do to fix it. Don't know how to avoid this in the future. So any help gratefully received.
Bruce Watson

OK, now I *am* confused.
Just did it again (a different DVD project however), as described in my original post. This time PPro stayed open for me. So I sent all the sequence audio files to Audition via the "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..." comman, then did my editing in Audition, and saved it the Audition project. Go back to PPro, and... nothing. No sign of any file from Audition in the project panel. No sign on the time line. No sign of any Audition file anywhere in PPro that I can find.
What gives? What am I doing wrong?
What I did get was a folder at the same directory level as my PPro project file, a folder in it with the project_name I gave Auditon when it opened from the PPro "Edit...Edit in Adobe Audition...Sequence..." command, and then two files for every clip in the project (a *.wav and a *.pkf), and finally two more files, a project_name.xml and a project_name.xml.sesx.
I suppose I can export a *.wav file to PPro manually. Worked before. But I'd like to learn the "correct" way, the way Adobe intends it to work.
Darned if I can figure out what I'm doing wrong though. Help???

Why Poor DVD quality Encore CS6 with Sony FS100 MTS files from PPro CS6

I am using PPro CS6 on a MAC Pro Quad zenon with Boot Camp. On PC side I was using PPro CS6 & Encore CS6 with MTS files from Sony NX 5U with NO Problems.
I just started using a Sony FS100 recording 1080i (60) format MTS files. When I Dynamic Link to Encore, the quality of the image is very soft compare to image from previous
projects with MTS files from Sony NX 5U.When I open a previous NX5U project, it still displays and creates an excellant dvd.Need help in solving problem.

Thanks for the advice. I tryed your method with same results.
I then tried changing project quality settings with somewhat better results
but not good enough results.
I looked at some of my previous dvds that used mts files from my Sony NX5U
and the quality was much better
that any results I am having using the Sony FS100 mts files. Even still
pictures do not look good now in Encore.
I then tried using Roxio Creator 10 Pro to make a dvd.
The results were excellant! Video files and stills are great.
I noticed that Encore CS6 is using the "Main Concept" codec to transcode.
Has something changed in the basic
settings with my Encore and can I reset my Encore to original defaults???
Any advice would be welcomed...Thanks again.

PPro CS6, error reading *.psd files

My old NLE laptop is dying, so I built a new desktop earlier this year and loaded Production Premium CS6 on it as my second copy. Laptop is retired now, more or less, and the desktop is all I use. This installation went on without a hitch, took my serial number, I logged into my Adobe account, etc. The install was perfectly smooth. I copied all the old project files over from the laptop, but them in the same places (same drive letter, same directory names) on the desktop, opened up a project to be sure it would I got everything in the right place, everything looked good, everything seemed to work. Then for reasons that are irrelevant to this, I was unable to actually use the software for months.
Anyway, thinks get back to normal, and I went to edit an older project on the desktop. When the project opened, I got the red screen (media offline) from where I had Photoshop illustrations (stills) in the timeline. All other files opened. All the video, all the music, etc. But none of the Photoshop files.
I opened up my stills folder in the Project panel, and it's showing all the files, but with question marks where the little Photoshop graphic used to be in front of the file name.
I thought this was no biggie, just had to relink PPro to those files. So I left click on the film icon, select Link Media from the drop down, and point it to the correct file. Up pops a box that says "The importer reported a generic error." Yuck. Must be a corrupted file.
So I bring up Photoshop CS6, open the file, and it opens just fine. No error, no problem, no corruption, looks fine. So I made a small change, took it back out, and saved the file, thinking that a re-write of the file might help. But... no. No help, same error.
Hmmm... Created a brand new file from a random photograph. Saved it in the same format (psd). Tried to import that file using the media importer, trying to see if a different pathway through the software will help. Nothing doing. When I try to import through the Media Browser panel, I get the same popup box, giving me the same error message, for this brand new file.
So... What's up with this new instance of PPro CS6 not being able to import *.psd files from it's companion app Photoshop CS6? I did this for years with that old laptop, never had a hickup, and every time I made a change in Photoshop, PPro picked up the change like magic. Which is why we use the Adobe software, yes? So I'm thinking it should work the same way on this new desktop.
Just to test my sanity, I fired up the old laptop, did the same thing (new file, import into PPro project) and it worked just fine. So I'm thinking it's not PPro, but something about my new installation on this new desktop. But everything else works just like it should (only way, way faster).
New PC information:
Win8.1 64bit
Intel i7-4770K processor
16GB memory
C: drive is an SSD, Samsung 840 EVO, 250GB
D: and E: are WD 1TB SATA 6GB/S 7200rpm drives
So... what have I done wrong? And how do I correct it?

One final thing. And this is just freaky to me. I can use PPro to create a Photoshop file, via "File...New...Photoshop file". Put this file I called "test_v1" in the same directory as the other *.psd files that I can't import. It shows up in the explorer. When I click on it in explorer, it brings up Photoshop, just like it should. What I get is an empty file with the title and action safe zone guides.
I cancel out of Photoshop without changing or re-writing the file. I try to import this file that PPro just created. I get the same "generic error" that PPro can't read the file.
So... anyone got a clue? I can't be the only person in the history of Adobe that's gotten this error.

How to open PPro CC project in PPro CS6?

I have upgraded to CC on my home machine, but filmmakers that I work with have decided to continue using CS6. I have put together a rough cut of a recently shot film in my PPro CC program - how do my colleagues open this project in their PPro CS6 program so they can continue the work?
I'm assuming this is possible since Adobe is officially continuing support of both CS6 and CC versions of PPro.

It is a very valid assumption. Adobe has created a world in which their customers are heavily split between the CS6 version and the CC version of their products. This means that in order for continued seamless collaboration between project personel to occur, project files created in one version need to be readable and usable in the opposite version.
If this doesn't get fixed, then that means all CC subscribers who collaborate with CS6 users will be forced to also purchase and install CS6 versions of the same software, and to work on collaborative efforts entirely in the CS6 versions.
And if I, as a CC subscriber, am having to do all of my work in the CS6 versions of the products, then subscribing to the CC versions of the products is a waste of money for me.
Either Adobe fix this, or CC subscribers who collaborate with CS6 users such as myself will simply cancel the CC subscriptions and revert back to CS6.
Thank you for your thoughts on exporting to FCP XML - that isn't going to work for my needs.

Dreamweaver CS6 hangs when opening file

Starting recently Dreamweaver CS6 hangs for 30 seconds or more, sometimes saying not responding, when I open an HTML file. It appears to do this when the file contains links to external places. To test I created a file that contained nothing except the "new HTML file" basic headers, saved the file, then opened. This test file did not hang.
I have tried the registry fix "ResolveRemoteURLToIPAddress FALSE" and deleting the personal configuration directory (with Dreamweaver closed). Neither of these solved the problem. Dreamweaver still hangs when opening a file.
Any other ideas?
Barry.

Once the document opens, check the code for any protocol relative links (links that start with // rather than http://) and change them to http:// links, at least during development. It is a know issue to Adobe and will cause what you describe.
If you don't have any protocol relative links, links to third party sites can cause issues from time to time if their servers are slow or have any kind of conflict with your network. Unless you absolutely can't, you may want to copy those external scripts to your local site and link to the local versions instead, again, during development.
