Premiere Pro CS5 won't Render. Freezes for 1-2 minutes when I try to edit the timeline.. Help!

Hi Guys
I'm new to this, but in desperate need of help. Thought i'd give it a shot and let you know what my problem is!
Basically i'm editing a dance concert which is approx 2 hours long. I'm running a late 2011 model iMac w/ i7 Quadcore and 16GB of RAM.
Using Sony XDCAM EX 1080p footage (2 cameras). Everything was going so well until I rendered (not export) the footage overnight. It only rendered less than half of the footage and won't allow me to render anymore. Doesn't even show the details of the amount of frames.. estimated time etc.
Heres a screen shot -
I checked my hard drive space and there's 150 GB left so there's more than enough for it render.
Another problem is that any editing i do to the timeline whether it's trimming, moving, copying etc. It just lags / freezes for about 1-2 minutes (has the loading Icon) then goes back to normal.
Before I did the rendering last night, everything was fine. I was able to edit very smoothly without any lag or freezing. First time i've encountered this. I did the same production last year using the same cameras, file format and software version and it was fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,
Jeremy

Remove the gaps in your timeline or fill the gaps with black clips and try again.

I bought a used macbook pro from a friend. Software updates are available, but when I try to update, the computer asks for apple id and will only accept the former owner´s. How can I connect my macbook to my apple id?

The first thing you should do after acquiring a used computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.

I downloaded LR for MAC when my free trial ended. But - I get a "renew your membership to reactivate the develop module" when I try to edit images. Help!

If you purchased the Perpetual Licensed version of Lightroom and received a 24 numeric serial number you will have to download the correct version from the link below.
Before doing the new installation you will have to uninstall the existing version from your computer (it is the Creative Cloud version) since it is requesting you to "renew your membership" . This process will not interfere with your Catalog file, Preferences or your personal files, it will just remove the existing application. Both versions are the same application just a different download and activation process.
Reboot your system then run the install of the Perpetual License download and input the serial number to activate. Things should be fine.

When attempting to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I receive the message "This disk is used for Time Machine Backups" when I try to select the lone available hard drive.

When attempting to upgrade my iMac from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, I receive the message "This disk is used for Time Machine Backups" when I try to select the lone available hard drive. I have ensured that Time Machine is turned off. Upon some Google research, some who reported this problem were told to delete the folder backup.backupdb, but I do not have this folder on my Mac. Any suggestions?

The folder would be at the root of your hard drive. Double-click Macintosh HD and look there.
If it isn’t there, I’m not sure what it is seeing.

Premiere Pro CS5 won't import still images correctly

I've about had it with this pile of ****.
Brand new install of Premiere Pro CS5. When attempting to import still images, random images will show up as other images. i.e. in Windows, I'll have the following:
one.jpg (shows up at one.jpg)
two.jpg (shows up at two.jpg)
three.jpg (shows up at three.jpg)
Once I import them into PPro, I get this:
one.jpg (shows up at one.jpg)
two.jpg (shows up at two.jpg)
three.jpg (shows up at one.jpg) <-----
In other words, three.jpg is named three.jpg in PPro, but when I bring it into a sequence, or view it, it displays the image from one.jpg
I've tried clearing the media cache, renaming the images, moving them to different directories/drives. Any suggestions? Or should I just get my money back ffs. Thanks for any help.

Looking for Premiere Pro CS5 v5.0.4 update for Elctronic download Version - not avalible in downloads but download manager keeps saying I need it and wont install

My update keeps telling me I need to update my Premiere Pro CS5 to v5.0.4 but tells me there is an error downloading. Tried to download manually and install but it only has a link for retail DVD version and I have an electronic download version. I know CS5 is no longer supported but shouldn't I at least have some where I can download this update? Thanks

that link is the only one for pre cc app updates.
is the current downloadable version cs5.04? if yes, that would explain why there is no update for the downloadable version. you would uninstall your cs5 and install the current download in that situation.
if the current downloadable version is not cs5.04, contact adobe for clarification, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service1.html

New MacBook Pro with 10.6.3 Freezes for 5-10 minutes every few days

I've got a brand new (i7 processor) MacBook Pro with 10.6.3 OS on it. Right from the first day I had it, it has had a problem freezing for 5 - 10 minutes every few days. When it is "frozen" nothing works - cursor doesn't track the mouse, clock doesn't increment to a new minute, nothing updates on the screen.
I turned on remote login, so I can ssh to it and see what's going on, and by running "top -o cpu" I can see that the kernel_task process is using over 100% of the CPU - other processes are getting some cycles - top, for instance - but the kernel is dominating the dispatch queue.
When this first happened, I thought the computer was dead, so I powered off and rebooted. However, once I could see that things were still running but the display was locked up, I tried waiting. Sure enough, every time the system comes back if I wait long enough. When it comes back, everything operates just fine.
Any thoughts on what I can do about this? I don't imagine that killing the kernel_task is a good idea(!). Maybe sending it an appropriate signal? I'm happy to get some more diagnostic information - just give me suggestions on what I can try. Note that it will have to be command line only, as I can only ssh into the laptop when it gets frozen like this.
Thanks.

Interesting - but that poster is complaining about the mouse and keyboard being unresponsive or going dead, not the comprehensive freeze I'm experiencing (unless "go haywire" means freezing). Not only are my mouse and keyboard unresponsive, but windows on the screen stop updating - even the clock in the upper right corner stops advancing.
For the record, I'm using the keyboard in the MBP - not much choice there - and a Razer bluetooth mouse that had no problems with my last MBP.
Still, they could be related. Something is making the kernel get very busy for a long time before it recovers. I just wish I knew what that was AND how it eventually recovers - perhaps I can accelerate the recovery if I knew the cause.
Anybody else experiencing the same thing? Note - I don't get a beachball and there is no cursor flashing (unlike the other thread on freezing). It looks like the system is completely hung, except that I can still ssh into the MBP and run things like top; overall, the CPU is over 70% idle.

Premiere Pro CS4 won't render my sequences

Everytime I send a sequence to Media Encoder, it just sits there. And sits and sits, etc. At the bottom it just says "Loading "Gleaner_Shoot.prproj".
I'm using a 2008 Mac with 8 cores with 16 gigs of ram.
My footage came from the Canon HV20. I have clips at both 24p and 1080i.
I'm setting up my sequences to match the clips I'm placing in them.
One thing of note is I'm really only using 3 looong clips. Since CS4 doesn't do scene detection well. I opted to instead make subclips from the long clips and use those. 2 of them are about 30 minutes long and one is nearly an hour. Could this be the problem?
Thing is, this happens even when I do a 1-minute sequence test.
It even happens when I try to use a test sequence which contains only audio.
I've tried outputting to quicktime and MPEG 2. I was careful to set the export settings to match the sources.
After a long wait, Media Encoder gives up and I get a warning icon in the status column. It says this:

Any ideas?

Premiere Pro CS5 won't import mov file?

Mac Mini OSX 10.6.8 2.4GHz Duo Core Intel 8GB RAM: Quicktime 10.0(128)
I have serveral MOV files that a Camera Crew shot raw footage then recaptured to MOV for me but now I found out that I can't import these files into Premiere CS5, I get a codec miss or unavailable error. I can't even play this MOV file in QT, it says I need a codec. I don't have Final Cut Pro or iLife. What is the codec I need and where can I get the codec to Import my MOV files into Premiere Pro? Or is there a way for me to recapture these files?
Here's a screenshot of the MOV file info. Thanks for any help, I'm new to Premiere

You may have been given video encoded with the Apple ProRes codec. Apple provides free decoders you can install that may be able to help you out.

http://support.apple.com/downloads/Apple_ProRes_QuickTime_Decoder_1_0_for_Mac
If these don't work, you video may be encoded with an Avid codec. Avid has their full range of codecs available for free. What's nice is that you can both read and record with them.

ITunes 5.1 can't find track names - also extremely slow (freezes for a few minutes when inserting new CD

Since upgrading to iTunes 10.6 for Windows 7, it can't find any track names (or artwork). First, when you insert an audio CD, iTunes freezes ("not responding") for a few minutes, then it queries the Gracenote Media database, and a while later, the track numbers "Track 1", etc. are displayed and a message saying the track names can't be found do I want to continue to import the tracks. I tried reinstalling the previous version which worked fine, but it won't run saying the Library ID was created by a later version of iTunes.... I also can't access the iTunes Store from itunes on my laptop.

I have the same problem, any answears???

I recently installed PSE 13 to my Mac book pro with Yosemite and the update installed and when I'm in iPhoto when I try to edit the photos in PSE 13 they will not open in PDSE 13

When I try get my photos to open in PSE 13 to be edited they do nothing ! In the past I had them set to open in PSE 11 which is what I was using --- I've changed that to open in PSE 13 but it still doesn't work? Can you help me please?

I hope you have set the correct .app file in iPhoto's preferences. Please see Use with iPhoto | Mac OS for details on set up. Just replace 11 with 13.

Premiere Pro CC won't render and Encoder freezes at 50%

I'm trying to render a multicam project. Up until 2 days ago, I could render projects out fine. Now, if attempting to render with Premiere, the project stays at 0% indefinitely. If I queue the project in Encoder, it gets to 50%, then just stops any progress in the render but continues to count the time elapsed. I recently added a Samsung printer to my computer, so I uninstalled all of those pieces of software but still the same results. The project was created on the previous version of Premiere before the latest update to CC. It created a new save file and the project opens up fine, with all other functions still available.
I'm running on a Intel Zeon 3.47GHz processor, 14GB ram, gpu acceleration card, 2 gig video card.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The benefit's of two pass are dubious, at best. I recommend bypassing that second pass and just go with one pass encoding. It's faster and chances are no one would be able to tell any difference. (Plus, it'll probably work.)

Adobe Premiere Pro CC Won't Playback / Freezes

I was using it just 2 days ago and all was well, everything worked perfectly. I then tried to open the same project today and it will not play back. I started a NEW project today and imported media. While auditioning media when I hit space bar to start the footage it plays (sometimes) for less than a second then stops / freezes. What am I doing wrong? This is kind of URGENT as I have to deliver a project by end of day... I am guessing BACK to final cut is the best option? I was trying hard to make the swap to Premiere, it just does not seem to work on my machine consistantly.

Premiere Pro CC won't render single frame cuts.

I'm cutting a corporate video with a glitchy treatment, so there are tons of shots that are only held for a single (or two) frames. When I want to render, the render sometimes only goes up to the single frame cut and then stops. No error messages. It doesn't crash (If I press cancel, it immediately puts me back into editing mode, with everything up to the single frame rendered). It just stops rendering.
What gives? Help! D:
