Premiere CS 5.5 freezes when Red Giant Looks is open.

I am using Premiere CS 5.5 and the program freezes when trying to save while Red Giant Looks is open. I have no clue why and it's very difficult to add and edit the effects when this happens because I have to restart the system. I am running OS 10.7.5 iMac with no external monitor. Please help

OK Here is all the info.
I am working in Premiere Pro Cs 5.5
I am working with a Power Mac Intel Xeon
OS x - Mountain Lion
10 GB RAM
It only freezes sometimes. Most of the time it saves fine.
What do you mean by "System Instability?"
Thanks in advance

TS1398 my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to the internet(wi-fi) with full signal strength but freezes when browsing and says "Cannot Open Page, Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding".

my problem is my iphone 4s is connected to wi-fi with full signal(3 bars) strength but freezes when browsing and says
"Cannot Open Page"
"Safari could not open page because the server stopped responding"
I already reset the iphone to its factory settings and erase all contents but still the browsing speed freezes or not searching at all. Sometimes it will work and fast but then the problem uccors every now and then. Iv'e been using iphone 4 for two years and I still have it and works fine compared to this IPHONE 4S.

Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
IF that does not work -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Finally - if problem still present -
Go to Settings>General>Reset
Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network

RoboHelp 8 Freezes When Trying to Use Any Open Dialog

The title pretty well says it all. RoboHelp freezes when I try to use Open... from the Starter screen or File>Open or any other control that accesses the open dialog (i.e., the open/explore button on the Content Settings tab in the FrameMaker Document Settings dialog). I have to end the process in the Task Manager and restart RoboHelp. (Fortunately, the Recent Projects links work – except for Open..., of course.)
I discovered this when I had to restore links to moved FrameMaker documents. My installation is TCS2 running on Windows 7 32-bit; all updates to all TCS2 components and Windows 7 have been installed.
I tried an in-place reinstall of RoboHelp, but that didn't make any difference.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
John

Hi John and welcome to the RH community.
I'd check that you have both of the 8.0.1 and 8.0.2 updates installed. Also ensure your RH source files are not located on a network drive. Bare in mind that whilst some users manage to run RH under Windows 7, others have reported problems. You should also note that Windows 7 is not an officially supported platform for RH usage.

Red Giant Looks not showing preview on Premiere Pro CC ?

We used to use the Looks on Premiere Pro CS6 since last year and it was the best color grading tool for us.
Now we just got the update for CC and installed.
Looks installed and showing on effects panel. But the main thing is missing!
THE PREVIEW to apply the looks.
Earlier it used to show the preview of video cursor and it was easy to apply from that preview.
But now the preview is missing.
See this screenshot,

Am I missing something ?

Have you changed anything with your system lately?
Have you checked out Red Giant support?

Red Giant Looks - Totally Gone

Ok, I feel like I'm going out of my mind.
I upgraded to CS5 a couple of weeks ago. I went through the usual agony upgrading plug ins and finding out which ones would no longer work because of compatibility issues. My main filter package, "Vitascene" by ProDad, no longer worked. So, I purchased Magic Bullet Looks, which I was quite happy with and promptly completed two small projects with it.
I already had their Starglow and Shine, and saw that I had to pay for an upgrade for those programs to be able to use them on CS5. I purchased the upgrades. I installed both of them and only Shine would appear in the "Trapcode" folder in the effects tab. I was too busy to follow up on this until today. I called their tech support and we discovered that the files for Starglow had been written into a random file. We corrected that problem, by installing Starglow in the correct folder :
local disk/program files/Adobe/common/plugin/cs5/mediacore
Well, all that did was make Starglow show up, but Shine no longer showed up in the trapcode effects folder in PP.
The tech person had me start PP while holding down the shift key, until the Welcome screen appeared, and told me this would reset the plugins. I did this, and when I went into the program again, Looks was totally gone, and Misfire (a free set of plug ins that comes with Looks) was still there, but only 2 of the 14 plugins were in the Misfire folder. Starglow appeared, but no Shine.
The only suggestions Red Giant support could give me was to install and uninstall the programs - which I did about 20 times since then. I even uninstalled CS5 and reinstalled it (plus updates).
So now, what I have is all the plug ins in their proper places in the media core folder, but nothing appearing in PP except Starglow and two of the misfire plugins.
I'm at my wits end. I've got two projects in process that depend on these filters. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks all,
Jessica

Bill, good advice... is best to go slow and be sure on that stuff....and if necessary make "notes" to self about what you do (hierarchy location, key and value changes )..
Colin...I've had some weird stuff happen with servers using multiple instances of SQL server ( on the server ) and my experience has been that in some cases stuff is programmed very loosely by some companies...where this area of the OS gets confused and doesnt give "permission" when it should...component services...I wouldnt be surprised if that isnt where the problem comes from ....as it will write to the registry re: those permissions etc..
Maybe if you have a similar prob in future you could check out this area before checking the log and registry..and see if its coming from here ??
I dont mean "permission" like admin and powe user etc... but in terms of the computer "name" aliases and stuff like that

Firefox freezes when saving, printing, or otherwise opening "sub-windows"

Firefox freezes when I open a window to save, print, etc. - not always, but far too often. If I dare try to choose another folder in which to save, I'm even more likely to make it freeze.
When it happens for the first time after opening Firefox, I can often wait several minutes, then it unfreezes, and I can then do one or two more clicks (e.g., scroll, save, etc.) before it freezes again. Otherwise (or the next time, if I didn't restart Firefox in the meantime), the program just gets completely unresponsive, and I have to close it via the Task Manager. So there's unfortunately no error message, crash ID, etc.
Possibly related: When I'm using Firefox for a while (with many Firefox windows open), I'm often not getting menus displayed anymore, just the outline of the menus. The program still reacts to clicks into the outline, but it's like driving blindfolded... Menus include those from the menu bar, those from right-clicking into a website, or those from Adblock Plus (icon in the bar, at the right bottom of each window).
I'm currently still using 3.6.13 (with Adblock Plus) on a Windows 7 (x64) machine. The problem has persisted long before I've updated to this or previous Firefox versions... possibly since I've been using it on this computer (= summer 2010), but I'm not sure. I should add that I *am* using Firefox with lots (!) of Firefox windows open simultaneously, and I often let my computer hibernate rather than shut it down every single time I walk away... but I've been doing that for at least 5 years now (using tons of Firefox windows even much longer, still with Windows 95 or 98), and the problem is new. And limited to Firefox. (Indeed I can even open pages, on which Firefox has just crashed, in Internet Explorer or Opera, and then peacefully save, print, etc. there.)
I'd prefer to keep Firefox as my standard browser, but the problem is getting too annoying! Thanks for your help!!

Hi Susan,
The Adobe plugin in Internet Explorer is a bit different from the one in Firefox, however they're all made by Adobe and they usually come with Adobe Reader.
When you open a PDF file in Firefox, it "calls" Adobe Reader to help it read the file. In this case, the Adobe Reader takes over, and it is responsible for freezing your browser.
I suggest you try the last 4 solutions presented on the [[Opening PDF files within Firefox]] (start with "Re-install the plugin" through "Re-install Adobe Reader").
Good Luck :D

My Iphone freezes when I slid over to open phone

Just recently my Iphone (4s) freezes when I try to slide over to open the phone. I have had to turn off the phone and wait for it to power on again. What can I do? Thanks.

Try resetting it: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.

Adobe premiere pro cc 2014 freezing with magic bullet looks

Hi-
I'm running windows 8 with this software and I'm getting intermittent crashing when trying to work on any project when I'm also using magic bullet Looks on it. The frustrating thing is that it used to work fine in premiere Pro CC, but using the 2014 version is very unstable. Also, I cannot go back to using the non-2014 version because the file format is incompatible with the older version and I don't have another version saved. I've already done hours and hours of editing in 2014 only to keep having crashes.
Is anyone looking into this or has any recommendations so I can get work done.
Thanks!
-Lok

I don't use magic bullet Looks but is that a 3rd party plugin?
If yes, have you checked with the vendor to see if it needs to be updated for the new structure of CC 2014?

I blog on TypePad using Word 2007 and documents freeze when I'm looking at them in Windows explorer; why do I get the error message that Mozilla is looking for a script?

I have now had two error messages - the first one looked for this script: Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:258. The second one (today) looked for Script: resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js:68.
I have reset my word template, also reset word registry for data and options (as per Microsoft's help pages) for both those 'fixes' there was an initial improvement, but the problem happened again after I reposted on my blog today and then went to Windows explorer to view my files. It seems to 'seize' as I select a file, so that the preview does not appear (for up to 15-20mins).
I see on the internet using the second script as a search just now that one other has had a similar problem and one also since Mozilla 4 upgrade. My problems have also been pretty much since I upgraded.
It happens (apart from my fixes) every time I go to look at a word document via Windows explorer. Excel files are less affected.
One web suggestion is to clear the cache, but I am hesitant to lose all my passwords unless I have to.

I still have the problem although I uninstalled Mozilla (clearing the cache didn't work and neither did Word diagnostics), so have ended up thinking it could be Norton (the manual update worked x1) or Windows. Today I found an answer: disable the preview pane in Windows Explorer - there's a history of problems with this view.

Sending slo-mo clip to Red Giant Looks 2.5

1. If I send a clip at 100% speed to Looks it brigs up the correct frame in Looks.
2. If I send a slow motioned clip, it brings in the frame as if it was playing at 100% from the start of the clip. The wrong frame is in Looks.
Not sure if this is a Looks problem or PP problem. Anyone else encounter this?
Older version of PP and/or Looks don't do this.

No I do not see this in CC.
Nest slomo clip then add Looks. See how that will work.

Red Giant's DeNoiser II in Premiere CS6?

I usually use Neat Video but I do not own the Premiere version so I thought I'd give Red Giant's noise reduction a try. I'm impressed with the quality but find that with a few instances of the plugin on clips Premiere slows so much that just making changes to the plugin settings is not very functional without long pauses. I tested the Neat video limited version and it does not have this problem. Am I doing someting wrong? I have an i7, 12gb of ram and a 570 card. Other Red Giant plugins like Colorista and Looks work fine for me.
Thanks, Marc

I played around with it some more and read about other people having the same issues. It's slow as molasses not just during rendering but even when trying to make adjustments or turn the effect on and off. I ended up buying a Neat Video license for Premiere which seems to work with no problems.

Macbook Pro 2.6ghz i7 2013 system freeze when using Premiere/AME CC 2014

I have a Macbook Pro i7 2.6ghz form late 2013 and I have been experiencing some serious problems with my system freezing while using Premiere Pro and whilst rendering from AME.
I am running the latest version of CC (8.1) on OSX 10.9.5.
GFX card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M 2048 MB
RAM: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
I have CUDA enabled, I need the performance boost so rendering previews of the CPU is not much of a option for me.
I have experienced this problem since I started running Premiere on my laptop (3 months ago). If I am doing any GPU hungry processes within Premiere or AME the system will freeze, when it freezes nothing will respond and the screen stays frozen, I have to do a manual shut down.
I went as far as replacing the whole laptop with Apple as they put it down to a faulty GFX card, the new one has the same problem which leads me to think that the problem is with how Premiere and AME work with the new Macbook Pro's.
These crashes happen up to three times a day if I'm doing a full day of editing and I have to make sure I don't push the system to hard to avoid it, the crashes don't tend to happen when I am editing 5D footage but they are quite frequent when editing 4k GH4 footage. I am working off multiple hard drives with valuable data which are put at risk when the system crashes. I normally work on a 6 core Mac Pro but next week I'll be pushing my laptop pretty hard with a full week of editing and I'd love to avoid these crashes.
If more info and specs are needed to identify the problem, I'll be happy to provide them.
Cheers, Moja.
ps.
My system just crashed twice today, once while writing this message, I had a project open in Premiere but I wasn't even editing, its currently 30 degrees in Melbourne, one of the hottest days of the year yet, which leads me to believe that the heat is contributing to the GFX card or CPU overloading.

I forgot to add that I have also updated to the latest nvidia card driver.
My music seems to keep playing when the crash occurs which suggests the hard drive and other components are still running fine, its just the GFX card that is crashing.
The GFX card may be a red herring if it still crashes in software mode and with the internal card. The fact that you have music playing, however, may be a clue. Programs that can access your audio hardware (like Soundflower) at the same time as Pr have been known to conflict and cause crashes. Turn off any background audio processes. Check your system audio settings, as well as Pr's audio and audio hardware settings. If you can, change the source of Pr's Desktop Audio in Preferences>Audio Hardware. Try changing the ASIO settings.
The next (and most painful) step would be to work your way meticulously through this document:
Troubleshoot system errors, freezes | Mac OS 10.x | Adobe software
The "Re-create Adobe application preferences" step often helps a lot.

Red Giant Plug-ins won't load in Premiere Pro CC

I have been unable to get certain Red Giant plug-ins (frames and denoiser 2) to show up in Premiere Pro CC. Others, like LUT buddy and Looks work fine. I have tried countless things with the people at Red Giant, but we can't seem to figure it out. Anyone???

was able to finally figure it out with the help of Wenzel - an extremely courteous tech from Ueberschall - who was able to show me the couple of little tweaks I'd needed in order to get everything up & running - but thanks to anyone else who would have answered me -

Red Giant Trapcode plugins no longer work after updating to Premiere Pro CC 2014.1 (v8.1)

I'm not sure why but after updating Premiere Pro CC to 2014.1 none of my previously installed Trapcode plugins work. I tried uninstalling Trapcode and then re-installing the latest Trapcode update (12.1.6) but it didn't fix the problem. I'm also running Windows 8.1.
I checked the plugin loading log file (\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\8.0\Plugin Loading.log) and noticed all the Trapcode plugins had the message "The plugin is marked as Ignore, so it will not be loaded."
So to fix it, I had to manually modify the registry and change "Ignore"=dword:00000001 to "Ignore"=dword:00000000 for most instances of my Red Giant plugins. Everything works now.

First ... have you checked that these are all updated to work with the CC versions? I'd check with the makers of each plugin, the software has MANY differences.
Next ... if say you removed all but one, do any of them work? It might be worthwhile to remove them from the folder, then add one by one until you find one that is crashing things. That would at least get you part way forward.
And ... you might list which ones you have, in what versions. Folks around here might be able to help just seeing that.

Premiere freezes when rendering in timeline (exporting is working fine). After crash, project seems corrupted.

OK... I'm using the latest PP CC with Windows 7 64-bit on an iMac.
I recently formatted my hard drive and reinstalled Premiere, and since then I've been unable to render in timeline (pressing enter). I can still export media without rendering, and it all works perfectly, but when I try to render it always freezes and I have to force quit program.
In addition to this problem, when I try to re-open the project I was working on it says "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type".
I've read some threads on this, and I'm able to make a new project and import the sequences from the corrupted project onto it, but I don't want to have to do this every time! Is there any way to fix these problems?
Thank you.

Hi,
The error message that you have given occurs mainly when Premiere Pro is not activated properly or even sometimes when Creative Cloud Desktop app is not updated or you are not signed in.
To troubleshoot, first make sure your Creative Cloud Desktop app is updated and you are signed in. Next launch Premiere Pro and sign out and sign back in to Premiere. Next try to open your particular project.
In case you still get the same error, check your hosts file (hosts file location: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc).
Let me know the outcome.
Thanks!
