    Hi, does anyone have a solution for this problem:
    Illustrator CS4 hangs when trying to map art on 3D object
    The rendering dialog box comes up and never goes away.  I have to force a quit.
    I'm on a Mac OS 10.6.6

    This may not be exactly what you are looking for but another user experienced a crash:

    Scroll down to JETalmage's post and see if you are doing anything which he describes as being a potential cause for AI to stop responding.
    Also, as in the link I provided, try to give more details about your scenario so we can see if the problem can be replicated.

    When trying to import videos off of a CD I continually get error code -36 on one of the videos. How can I fix this?

    Contact Apple and request a 10.4 or possibly a 10.5 distribution disk for this system, if you've not obtained that DVD disk from the seller. 
    Boot and use that distribution disk to wipe the hard disk via Disk Utility, and to then reinstall OS X. 
    Best to start with a fresh installation of OS X, as that'll provide the default environment and not something that's been customized and extended by the previous owner.
    The last OS X version that was supported for most PowerMac G5 systems was 10.5.8, and that would be preferable — if your Mac supports that.
    If you're not sure which Mac you have, then use the  > About This Mac from the menu and request more information on the system.  You're looking for a model number listed there, and that'd be something like PowerMac7,3 or PowerMac11,2 for a ~2005-vintage PowerMac system.  Whatever model number you have can then be used to determine the general specs for the configuration, and what the last version of OS X that was supported for the system.

  • When trying to import videos, pop up says not the right kind of document

    I am on photoshop elements 13 editor, trying to import videos. A pop up says could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document. Any solutions?

    Vurgano, Powelly 100, and izzysanime,
    Has the issue been resloved?
    If so, how was it resolved?
    I see Yesughei and Powelly are on Win7.
    Izzysanime, which Win OS are you using?
    Vurgano, what platform/OS are you using?
    We are still investigating this issue and would appreciate your assistance.
    To rule out problems with the files you have, could you please verify the Photoshop CS5 sample file "CheeziPuffs.mov" will also not work? (program files\adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS5\samples)
    Also would you please verify the following:
    Virus/security/parental control software hasn't trapped parts of Photoshop, Bridge, Premiere, Lightroom, or any Adobe app using DynamicLinkMediaServer. (Make sure the Adobe apps are added as exceptions if needed.)
    Ensure you have the latest version of QuickTime
    Close all Adobe applications - wait more than 30 seconds, then launch Photoshop and try to open the file.
    - If unsuccessful, view Task Manager/Processes to verify necessary processes started up when importing video (dynamiclinkmanager.exe, dynamiclinkmediaserver.exe and Adobe QT32 Server.exe)
    - If unsuccessful, please capture the full error message text.
      4. Close all Adobe apps, wait 30 seconds - launch Bridge and try to open the file.
    If everyone is on Win 7, it makes me wonder about permissions...
    Thanks,

  • Iphoto gives me an error when trying to import videos

    when trying to import a video into iphoto '11 - it gives me an error "cannot import selected photo as there was a problem downloading an image"

  • Why does my iMovie shut down when trying to import videos

    When I am trying to import video to my library my iMovie closes and I get a "iMovie quit unexpectedly". How can I fix this?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Hangs When Importing .mov

    Hi,
    For a few days now I have been trying to import an hour long clip into Premiere Pro CS6. Usually this takes only a few seconds, but lately it has been hanging. It is stuck on a little window saying "Import Files" and the yellow progress bar doesn't appear. I don't know if this has anything to do with the recent update I installed to my Production Premium applications or if it may be my new Blackmagic drivers that messed it up. I have tried waiting out the long import by leaving it on overnight and it has still not fixed it. I even uninstalled Premiere and reinstalled it. Any help would be appreciated.
    The codecs of the video are H.264, AAC
    I am also running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on a mid-2011 iMac

    My machine is also hanging in the same fashion.   Very, very frustrating when you have editing work to do.  If I reboot, I seem to be able to import a few files but then the next one hangs. 
    I'm trying to import mov files from my Canon 5d Mark III.
    I updated my video driver (that needed to be done anyway) but that didn't make any difference.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 Crashes When Importing HD Clips

    I've used Camtasia forever but recently decided to "upgrade" to Premiere Pro when I got my new Macbook.  Not being familiar with Premiere at all, I thought I would play with it with a few short clips.  I have HD footage of my martial arts class which I shot with my Canon Vixia HG20 and copied it to my Macbook.  However, when I imported a few clips into Premiere Pro and try to play it, it hangs.  It will play one or two clips and then it stops responding after that.
    All in all, it's only about 2 minutes of footage that I've put into Premiere Pro.  I have no problems putting the clips into the Timeline but when I try to preview the clips (either in the source monitor or the program monitor windows), Premiere Pro gives me the little rainbow pinwheel and 20 minutes later, it's still spinning around.  I bought a 500Gb external hard drive to use as the scratch disk because I thought maybe it was a space issue having everything on my Macbook but I still get the pinwheel.  My only solution is to force quit the program.
    I have a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro on OS X (10.5.6) with 4GB of memory, GeForce 8600M graphics card, and 200GB hard drive.  I've read about a of of the crashes on here but didn't really see anything similar to my situation.  Any ideas?  I spent a lot on Premiere Pro and am not willing to give up on it  quite yet.
    Please and thank you!

    17 Mbps is still at the high end, but IMHO they should ultimately work.
    Very often with AVCHD, you have to play a clip until it freezes, then wait.  If you monitor CPU usage during the waiting time, you'll see that it is quite active.  The process using the CPU is the ImporterProcessServer, which has to do some kind of magical stuff to the AVCHD clips in order for them to play and scrub in Pr.  Once the IPS is done, you should be able to scrub and play the clip just fine.
    Usually you only have to do this once per clip, but sometimes more.  Sometimes the work that the IPS does carries over between Pr sessions, and sometimes it doesn't.
    Smaller frame sizes and lower bit rates in AVCHD video helps make the editing experience in Pr much better.
    My hope is that the upcoming 4.1 update will address some of these AVCHD issues.

  • Laptop editing with Premiere Pro CS4: what are the most important specs

    Laptop Editing: What are the MOST important specs?
    Hello everybody, I have been a long time lurker, but I decided to join in and share my voice.
    I've been editing, for a while now, various projects of various lenghts shot on my HV20, on an IMac using Adobe Premiere Pro. Actually, I bought the CS4 Extended Production Suite last year  thinking that it made sense to be able to edit, do the coloring and effects+ sound all within the same suite.
    AND, it came with OnLocation, wich is, I think, a fantastic tool. I really want to be able to record and monitor my future shoots using OnLocation. I've seen how useful monitors and scopes are on set, and the idea of being able to shoot in HD and actually checking the focus on something larger than a few inches is very appealling!
    So a laptop is in my future. Now, what are the most important specs?
    I could buy 1) a barely used Macbook pro early 08- 17" HD led display ,4g Ram ddr2 ,nvidia 8600M GT 512 VRAM ,800Mhz BUS, 200G 7200HD
    and have enough money left to buy an Apple Display 30" refurb
    OR 2) a new Macbook pro 17, 4 g Ram ddr3, 512 VRAm, 4g Ram ddr3, double procsessors 9400M+9600M GT 512 VRAM, 1066 BUS, 500G 7200HD
    and wait for a second display!
    Plus, of course, a portable External Scratch Drive on the Express Card. Now, if that fast drive is handling the footage, could'nt I settle for a 5400HD in the laptop,, they seem much less prone to problems-clicking noise, heat-than the 7200, especially in the new unibody model. Is 800 versus 1066 BUS a terrible trade-off? In terms of secondary displays , I've heard less than lukewarm things about the new Apple 24 LED (glossy is no-no for me).
    My intentions are to make documentaries and short fictions as well. I make a living as an actor so I don't need to be performing as a director/editor business wise!
    I do want to explore that side of the craft, in a professional and enjoyable way though. I know that, in addition to the laptop, I will get a MacPro in a few years.
    Thanks a lot for the inputs!

    Successful video editing (as compared to tear your hair out video editing) requires at least two hard drives... one for all software and one for all data... some people use 3 drives, with data on one and scratch files on the 3rd drive
    I'm not sure about software, but everything I've ever read in this forum says 5400 is NOT fast enough for the data drive
    If you want to edit video... you have to buy the hardware that works

  • Premiere Pro CC crashes when trying to Export Media

    I really hope someone can help me with this.
    I bought a brand new Dell XPS 15 because I will be studying multimedia production next year. Next week I'm registering for the art school and I'll be able to buy a CC student license. I installed the Creative Cloud Trial Version because I couldn't wait to check out the new features in Photoshop and Premiere Pro. However after working on a Premiere Pro project for several hours, the program crashed when trying the Export>Media function.
    As soon as I hit Export>Media in every project I make in Premiere Pro, the following dialog box pops up: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.". I'm not able to export my project, not even by using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+M.
    I already tried reinstalling Creative Cloud, without any luck. Any idea what could be causing this? I really need this fixed before school starts, so help is much appreciated.
    Here are my system specs:
    - Intel Core i7-4712HQ processor
    - 16GB DDR3L RAM
    - Nvidia GeForce GT750M 2GB
    - 500GB SSD
    Thanks to everyone willing to take a look at my problem.

    Hi John,
    Thanks for your response. I checked all those links but I'm afraid none of those solves my problem. My GPU drivers are up to date and changing BIOS settings to fixed to disable Nvidia Optimus doesn't work as well.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro Cs4 : Stuck When Load ExporterWave.prm

    hey , i just got my premiere pro stucked when startup , but when i delete the ExporterWave.prm , application run normally
    can someone explain this?
    sorry for my bad english

    Jeff,
    The Page File is MS Windows' "virtual memory." It gets activity, when physical RAM is not available. Especially with video editing, this happens a lot. It can be set via Control>Panel>System. Windows can either dynamically create and size the file, as is necessary, or it can be set to provide the necessary size statically - always the same, and is *usually* set to ~ 2.5x the physical RAM.
    With one physical HDD, that is partitioned, you have about 4-5 operations going on at the same time, and your I/O system is basically telling the heads of your HDD to be in different places/platters at this same time. Unfortunately, this is impossible, and one gets system hangs, sluggish performance, crashes or worse.
    There are several good threads on suggested HDD setups for NLE work on this forum. I'd step back a level, so you get all Premiere forums, and search for some of these articles. There are a lot of worthwhile suggestions for number, type, connection and configuration of HDD's.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Premiere Elements 7 keeps crashing when trying to import video from webcam, can i fix it? :s

    What is the format of those Webcam files?
    Also, along with the format, it would be useful to know the CODEC used by the capture software. The great, free utility, G-Spot, should be able to give you that info. Here's look at the G-Spot screen, w/ an AV file loaded:
