Premiere becomes completely unresponsive during multi-cam preview

While editing a 5 camera multi-cam project, Premiere completely locks me out during playback of the project. It's like my user interface just completely died. The project plays and nothing I do will stop it. Autosaves do not occur and I am forced to wait an hour for the whole timeline to play (haven't waited to see if I get control even after then) or 'end task' to kill the Premiere application, thus losing all my work up until the last save. I have had moments where Premiere locked my out for a few seconds, but I always managed to eventually get control. The last 2 times I never got control back.
I'm running the latest version of Premiere CC on Windows 8.1.
Any help in how to interrupt Premiere's coma in this situation would be greatly appreciated. Really sucks doing the same work 3+ times over.

i3770k 16gb RAM.... I don't think that's the problem.
I called Adobe Tech Support and they located the problem. I had the wrong sequence settings, which had the wrong preview format (codec). Apparently, the best way to create a sequence with a multi-cam track is to right-click on the multi-cam clip and select 'create sequence". This way Premiere chooses the optimal preview format for the video clip types it contains. And this is the only way to get Premiere to optimally handle multi-cam clips with various different video formats properly, such as mine.
I don't understand why one even has to worry about this sort of thing. Why shouldn't Premiere ALWAYS choose the optimal playback format? Coming from other editors I always found it really weird in Premiere that I had to select a sequence preset that was related to the video format I was editing. For one thing, many projects have mixed format types so this system that Premiere employs seems flawed and outdated.
Anyways, eventhough Premiere still drops a few frames during playback of my five 1080p streams, I can now edit and watch the multi-cam preview without fear of being completely locked out and losing control of Premiere.

Premiere crashes after nested than multi cam

Premiere crashes after nested than multi cam

I am getting the same error, I worked on an hour long Doc with Premiere CC 7.0 doing the same process without issue, now I continually get a "trackItem.ccp-156" serious error crashes. Taking all the media offline in the project and creating a multicam clip from a nest on the timeline still occurs, so i'm guessing it's a project file corruption, and not a media corruption issue. I've tried deleting preferences, deleting media cache and preview files, and the same crash keeps coming up. Creating a new project and bringing in the old sequence still crashes on the same nested clip.

I'm running Windows 7 and occasionally, Firefox will become completely unresponsive and grey out, then none of my programs will open at all, including the Start menu, forcing me to use a hard restart and shut down. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not able to close and restart Firefox at all, since the computer becomes completely unresponsive, save for mouse input. Task Manager is also of no use.

Believe it or not, anything on the Desktop uses 3 times the Resources of the Mac than if stored elsewhere, I can note a slowdown from just 30 items on the Desktop on a really fast Mac, so the less the better on the Desktop.

At this point I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/15667/applejack
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 6 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 6 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
Trash old Log files.
First reboot will be slower, sometimes 2 or 3 restarts will be required for full benefit... my guess is files relying upon other files relying upon other files! :-)
Disconnect the USB cable from any Uninterruptible Power Supply so the system doesn't shut down in the middle of the process.

Everytime I put my Mac Mini to Sleep, Finder becomes completely unresponsive. How do i fix this?

Hi,
Everytime I put my Mac Mini to Sleep, Finder becomes completely unresponsive. I've tried several Terminal commands to kill/quit/relaunch it, but nothing seems to work. Once my Mac has been put to sleep there is nothing I can do to get it back after I have woken it up. I always have to restart my computer, and even then, I have to hold the power button to shut it down because it will never fully shut down from the restart. I have a feeling that Finder is still running in the background and not allowing the mac to shut down. I'd rather not have to reinstall my OS. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this problem?
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi Andrew, what all is connected USB wise?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for Sleep/Wake problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Everytime I open Firefox it functions for a matter of seconds before freezing and becoming completely unresponsive, what can be done about this?

After freezing up today(which it has done from time to time before), Firefox has now become completely unresponsive. I have repeatedly attempted to restart it but the program will freeze up almost immeadiately every time, each time requiring a close via the task manager.
Nothing has changed since last night except for this unresponsivness. I just tried uninstalling my older version and downloading the current version but the problem has persisted. What else can I try?

I have the same problem on two Windows 7 x64 installations.
Firefox 4.0.1
Addons in common: Firebug
Firefox does not crash, it just becomes unresponsive, but the moment it becomes responsive again (couple seconds to 15 seconds or more,) it will just become unresponsive again. There is next to no CPU usage and there is nothing running in the background that could possible slow it down. I also notice that FF momentarily will stop responding for around 1/2 to 1 second. Then continue to be fine. I'm finding that Chrome is acting up as well but IE is working fine. I also found that Google.com seems to exacerbate the problem.

Help Improve Premiere! FR: Separate, maximizable Multi-camera view

Do you ever use Premiere CC's Multi-Camera tools? Then this FR is for you!
Please copy/paste as your own and send to https://www.adobe.com/go/wish/. Every voice counts!
*******Enhancement / FMR*********
Brief title for your desired feature: Separate windows for Multi-camera view and Program Monitor, with ability to tilde toggle to full screen either or both.
How would you like the feature to work?
The Multi-camera view and the Program Monitor should occupy separate, individually resizable and maximizable windows.
Why is this feature important to you?
The way these interface elements are currently squeezed into the same window is extremely limiting as far a viewing options. When the Multi-camera view is displayed, users can no longer do a full-screen preview of their edit, nor can they do a full screen preview of their multi-camera angles. This is unnecessarily restrictive. By putting the Multi-camera view in it's own window, and allowing it to be tilde maximized to full screen, users would have so much more flexibility for viewing their camera angles and their final edit while editing multi-camera sequences.

Hi Kevin,
I'm not sure how sticking the Multi-Camera View together with the Program Monitor does anything to clean up the interface. But supposing it does somehow, how can the person responsible for this change justify 'cleaning' the interface at the tremendous expense of functionally?
The current design simply isn't functional as already stated:
Full screen preview can't be used for the Program Monitor and/or the Camera Angles.
The Camera Angles can't be positioned and resized independently on their own monitor. Ditto for the Program Monitor.
How could the PP team miss this? Sorry to be brash, but it just baffles me how an entire team of adults can commit such an obvious gaffe. Perhaps they need to screen their ideas past real users, users like me that think outside the box and speak up when things don't work. For sure Adobe already does this, but it clearly isn't working, either because they're consulting the wrong people and/or they're getting the right feedback but aren't listening to it.
When I have to multicam edit on my laptop, I would LOVE to be able to display ONLY my camera angles in Full Screen. This would make each camera angle a usable size on a 17" laptop, and leave out any and all distracting interface elements (something helpful on any size monitor). After my initial edit is finished, I could then scale down my Multi-camera View and place it next to my Program Monitor above my Timeline to refine the edit. The current design makes this logical approach impossible.
I was REALLY hoping to see this fixed in 7.2. The problems with the current design are so painfully obvious to me, every single time I do multicamera editing. IMHO, it should also be obvious to anyone that trully understand video editing.
You wrote "this appeals to some and not to others.", but for the life of me, I can't see how this change could possible appeal to anyone (other than a sadist that gets pleasure out of seeing an editor's workflow getting screwed).

I can't edit sound during multi-camera editing

Hi!
When I work with multi-camera I can't cut audio. Only video. You can see it in picture. I can't find any settings to fix it. What should I do? Premiere Pro

Had the same problem: Couldn't edit main audio in a multi camera timeline, razor tool does not work and audio transitions cannot be added.
To solve the problem:
Go to the affected audio track and click on the 'show keyframes' button for that track. Make sure 'clip keyframes' is selected. The track should now become accessible to be cut and add transitions. You cannot alter the track if one of the other options is selected. For example I had Track Keyframes > Volume selected. Your volume markers will still be there and you can jump back and forth at your leisure.

IPhone 4 becoming completely unresponsive for no obvious reason.

My iPhone had been charging overnight with no previous problems ever encountered since i first bought it just over two months ago.
After checking the time on it (apparently working fine), i got up half an hour later putting the iPhone in my pocket.
WHen i next checked it, it had become totally unresponsive and seemed to have completely died.
It had definitely been fully charged and plugging it in to a charger has no response.
Plugging into a computer also has no response.
Attempting to reset by holding down sleep+home for ten seconds also carries no response.
Very frustrating and and i would be very grateful for any help recieved

Ochman, the same issue happened to me, simply hold down both the home and power buttons for 10 seconds then release the power button while still pressing on the home button. The apple logo should pop on screen and the phone should start loading again.

Video glitch: Flashing during multi-cam playback

Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.2. Maxed out iMac 2013.
Latest Adobe PP Patch 2014.2 Release Build 8.2.0 (65)
I'm having an issue with my multicam. When I perform a roll or slip edit, it causes the Program Monitor (which is in multi-cam mode) to flicker between either a black screen, or a previous edit. It won't do playback either when this occurs. Sometimes I can fix the issue by opening a non-multicam sequence, and then clicking back to the multicam sequence, but more often than not, I have to quit. In a 30min multicam, this occurs however often I need to change my tool, which may be 10 times.
Anyone else had this? Is is my GPU drivers on my Mac? I have no idea how to update those drivers on mac, traditionally it's done for me via App Store and not often since drivers are not updated as often as Windows. This was never a problem on Mavericks. Anyone else?

Hi Lawrence,
Try this:
Please go to File > Project settings > General and change the Video Renderer to Mercury Playback Engine software only. Click Ok and select Delete Previews.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Rameez

Why had iTunes become completely unresponsive?

Over the past few months itunes has become increasingly unresponsive, I now hate the those spinning colours. I have a large movie and music library stored on an external hard drive (WD 1.5 TB) and I have used just over half its capacity and it connects to a desktop Mac 5 (bought in 2009 I think?). Every action is met with the spinning colours, scrolling a library to pick movies to download to my iphone 4s can take 30 minutes and syncing a movie to the phone takes over an hour. The final straw has been IOS7 which I installed yesterday. Every item I try to sync to the phone fails. I don't use the cloud as I haven't got my head round why it works for me (I get how it works in general terms)
I'm sure there's an easy fix or theres a capacity issue but right now I'm soo out of love with all Apple products I feel like scrapping the lots and starting again with a PC and Android.
Please let me know if there is anything I can do to speed things up, this feels like I have a ZX Spectrum and I'm back in the 80's
Thanks

Firefox UI becomes completely unresponsive in debugging mode.

I'm using Firefox for web development, and set breakpoints with the `debugger` keyword, or the breakpoint UI in the "Debugger" section of the "Web Developer" tools. I remember that used to work on older versions, but recently it started failing.
Now, when I enter debugging mode (i.e. hit a breakpoint), the debugger UI shows, but it is completely unresponsive: the mouse cursor doesn't change when I hover over any widget, and clicking does nothing.
The only way to get any response is CTRL-r refresh which *sometimes* works, as well as closing the entire Firefox window. Of course, that means I can't actually use it to debug.
I'm on Xubuntu 13.10, running latest stable 64bit Firefox (3.1.1). I also verified the exact same bug on the nightly binary release (firefox-36.0a1.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2) as well as the recently released Developer Edition (firefox-35.0a2.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2).

HI dunpealer,
Please do file a bug on this and make sure to put version 35 and os linux on bugzilla.mozilla.org.
I am sorry it took so long to get back to you, I also can reproduce this. If you have any questions about bugzilla we are happy to help here as well.
Thank you!

I have a L7780 that has become completely unresponsive to all of it's buttons.

Display still looks like it is ready to go, and the printer responds to things like opening the scan table, toner door opening, but all of these seem to be automatic and in reality nothing works. Interior scanning light is on. It is also completelly unresponsive over the network. Anyone ever heard of this problem? Help!

* In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
* Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

Second 4th gen nano that has become completely unresponsive

This is my second 4th generation iPod nano. The first stopped working properly on the second day. It wouldn't hold a charge, it wouldn't turn on, and iTunes would not recognize it.
Now it's the same thing. I returned it and got another one. This one worked fine for 6 weeks, and now it does nothing. I tried the 5 R's on the troubleshooting page. Nothing shows up on the screen. Nothing happens when I plug it into the computer, iTunes won't recognize it. Maybe it's time for a recall on this product. What a piece of junk.

hello, maybe it's an issue with the the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

Firefox becomes completely unresponsive after loading Bejeweled Blitz on FaceBook.

It is the only place it has occurred. I like to play and so does wifey. '''Sometimes''' the game will load (without hanging) and as soon as you click on anything within the game box (except the spin button) it freezes and hangs. It doesn't report it to Mozilla that I am aware of and the only generated report is to Microsoft.
I am running Win7 64-bit, Firefox 3.6.10 with full updated plug-ins.
The only thing I have found that will "sorta" get around this is defining the 'dom.ipc.plugins.timeoutSecs' in the about:config down to -1. I don't know what this will do with other sites and its still not a real fix for this problem, as it seems to repeat after a reload of the page.
I have tried a reinstall of Firefox; scanned computer for viruses; tried the troubleshooting suggestions; turned off all of my extensions.
This problem only occurs when loading Bejeweled Blitz on FaceBook, and nowhere else that I have experienced so far.

You know what? I finally figured it out. I got an error message about AutoPager. I disabled it and the problem went away.
I would like to know though, how did it happen? I have had AutoPager longer than I have been playing Bejeweled Blitz.
The error message said something about a script not loading properly on the page. If you took the time to read this, thanks for your attention, and sorry to have wasted anyone's time.
It figures, I have a problem with it for a few weeks now and as soon as I ask about it, I find a solution. What a crock.

IPad 2 screen becomes unresponsive during video playback

I just purchased an iPad 2, and one of the first disappointments I've seen is that the screen becomes completely unresponsive during playback of a video with the "Videos" App. This happens after the video has been playing for several seconds. Is there a fix to this problem? My only recourse was to shut down the application; however, the problem is persistent. This means there is NO control of video playback, i.e., pause, FForward, Reverse, Skip???? I have already updated my iPad 2 with the latest OS. What gives???

What quite often works for people with problems with the Videos app are the following.
Try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
