Premiere Pro is not responding and using 587% of CPU

My projects are going extrordinarily slow. and according to the activity monitor, Premiere Pro is using 587% of the CPU and the fan is going non-stop and the macbook is always very hot when I start this program. I feel this could physically damage my laptop if I left it running to render only 286 frames of a clip that takes over an hour to do at this high usage.
Only this program does this to the CPU When I turn it off Premiere Pro, the heat starts to cool off and the fan slows down, and it eventually goes quite again
What would be causing this?
I am using a new 15 inch macbook that is a few months old with 16 GB of RAM and 2.6 GHz processor.
I feel Premiere Pro could could almost be a fire hazzard to my home. What is wrong with my system? have there been previous lawsuites for CS6 for this issue?
Andy

Update the GoPro firmware, shoot some footage, and then see if the new footage will work in Premiere Pro for you.

Nothing is working and I can't find the Roboform toolbar. Your lack of direct support is really irritating- a live chat at least would be helpful.

Premiere Pro CS6 not responding after adding anything to timeline

I had been using Premiere CS6 successfully for a while, but starting a few months ago, it started not responding after I did anything. I can add a title and a transition succesfully to the timeline and it plays fine, but as soon as I add a picture or video clip, it immediately stops responding. It's frustrating because the program used to work fine before.
The only thing I can think of that might have affected it was when I upgraded to Mavericks, but I haven't read anything about any serious problems with Premiere running on Mavericks. I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Premiere Pro CS3 Not Responding on new System

Can someone please help me out here?!?!? I just bought a brand new laptop. It haves an i7 processor, 8gb of ram, 1 tb of hard drive space, as well as runs on 64 bit with Windows vista 8.1 I believe. As we all may know Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 runs as a 32 bit program. Every time I try and open up a project I have already been working on prior to my new system and try to locate where the specific files are for it to link/synchronize, the Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 program freezes up and "Not Responding" appears causing me to press "ctrl, alt, and delete" to end the program using the task manager every time. Shouldn't I be able to run a 32 bit program on a 64 bit system? What can I do? Please help me!!! Thank you in advance!!!

2 things to try
Right click the program icon and, if available, select running in WinXP mode from the pop-up option window
Right click the program icon and, if available, select run as administrator from the pop-up option window
>Windows vista 8.1 I believe
As far as I know, that does not exist... current is Windows 8.1 (Vista is OLD and discontinuted)

Acrobat PRO XI not responding when using Send File

We have 3 new Windows 7 Pro 64 bit workstations with latest service packs, Office 2013 latest service packs and Adobe Acrobat XI ver 11.0.4.
I have assigned the AD group Domain Users to the local pc Administrators group.
when trying to use the send file as an email attachment, the email is sent with the attachment but Acrobat goes to "not responding" state
When I login as me Domain Admin, works fine. When I login to my pc as one of these users works fine.
What am i missing?

I have the same issue, everything I do seems to only fix it temporarily. I can't believe we pay over $100 for a piece of software and the only support option is their forums, I can't call or even chat with a support rep, that is insane.
I have clients that this same issue is happening to and telling them it's fixed every other day only to have it break again and have no where to look for answers is extremely frustrating. Please help us out.

Premiere Pro does not support the use of gtx780ti in the cc.

Premiere Pro and Media Encoder are not certified to the renderer.
If you have ever used a 780ti if you would let us know how cuda is available.

Ajedesign wrote:
Understood, but the GTX 780 Ti is the powerhouse of all GPU's and I bought two of them for that specific reason. I'm confused why you certify the normal 780 but not the Ti?
Andreas,
The team has limited resources, so there is not enough time to certify every possible GPU available to the public. That is why we deal with unsupported GPUs in a way so that you, the customer, can still use your unsupported GPU in our digital video products. If certification for this particular GPU is important to you, let the team know here: http://adobe.ly/ReportBug
When will your certification be ready?
We'll let you know. Unfortunately, we cannot announce this kind of info in advance.
Thanks,

Premiere Pro CS5 Not Responding (Freezing) When Working With Other Programs

Hello,
I have a performance issue with Premiere Pro 5.0.3 version. When I have the program open and bounce to another program or Windows Explorer window lets say to drag in an asset such as a music or video file and then when I make the Premiere window active the program does not respond for a good 15 seconds, then after some processing (you see the mouse icon change and hear the hard drive chugging), I am able to again work. This is happening every time I switch windows to work on something else. Even if I just click away to another window and click right back without doing anything else, it does this non responding action. It even says it in the title bar (Not responding). I am wasting so much time waiting for the program to respond.
My system :
Windows 7 Ultimate
Intel Core i7 CPU 860 @ 2.80 GHz
8.00 GB of RAM
Quadra 5800 Nvidia graphics card
Drobo Pro 24 TB drive (where my project files, music & video files live) connected via iSCUSI
Sonnet 4 TB raid drive (scratch disc) connect via ESATA
Dual Monitors
Please help!
~ Doug

Doug,
Similar had plagued earlier releases of CS5, but I thought that it had been addressed with the CS5.0.3 update. Maybe I am wrong.
There were several other threads here, with similar problems. Maybe they contain some tips that will help. The "constant" seemed to be shifting focus from PrPro, and then back to PrPro.
Good luck,
Hunt

Premiere Pro CS5 not responding after 55 minutes of capture with intensity shuttle

Hi and thank you for the valuable resources on this forum.
I am capturing analogue video into Premiere Pro CS5 using he Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle (with Time Base Corrector in the video path). My captures are stopping at 54 or 55 minutes when the computer becomes non responsive. This has happened with the Blackmagic motion jpeg codec as well as the 10 bit YUV capture. Same thing happens if I capture with media express (the blackmagic capture software)
I have tweaked my system as per many of the recommendations in the forum.
Running CS5 5.03, autosave set to 10 minutes (same problem with no autosave or autosave at 20 minutes)
Windows 7 64 bit fully updated
i7 - 930 cpu
Gigabyte x58A - UDP5 (Revision 1)
24 Gb Ram
Nvidia 470 - MSI with the twin Frozr cooling solution.
Restore off, indexing off, windows search off,
Followed tips from forum and Viper regarding optimizing system
3 Hard drives
System on standard Sata 2 drive
Project capture to OCZ Vertex 3 120 g SSD drive (nice bit of gear) running on Sata 3 controller
Page file on another hard drive
Norton 360 unistalled
Anything else I could find unistalled or turned off.
Firmware and drivers for on board USB latest from Driver Station as per Blackmagic Recommendations.
Very succesful capture of things shorter than 55 minutes but I have some longer things I would like to capture in one go.
I have used process explorer to watch what happens. Nothing special that I can identify in terms of processes but cpu seems to be going to 100%.
With progessive tweaks the problems remains the same.
I am not aware of any file size limits with Premire Pro or Blackmagic - are there some?
Considering reinstall but would greatly appreciate any insights. My first post so I hope I have provided the right info to help you help me.
Thank you
Andrew

Good that you got it fixed... bridging device drivers have cause problems clear back to the computer version of the stone ages
I still have a Pinnacle Dv500 card (used via dual-boot with WinXP and Premiere 6x) that went through several device driver versions to get everything working right
While everything is working right... make a full "picture" of your hard drive to external USB drive to make recovering easy in case something goes wrong
Hardware crashes or virus infections happen, so you should buy software to make a full
backup of your hard drive to an external USB hard drive... plus, making step-by-step
backups during a new install or major program addition makes it easy to go back a step
if something doesn't work
This backup and then restore is, of course, only to the same computer with a new drive
(or the same drive as long as you don't mind writing over everything) since doing a
restore to a new computer won't work due to Windows and many programs having activation
information that is keyed to your hardware (which is why Windows will force you to RE-
Activate if you change very much hardware)
The product I use is at http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/image-for-linux.htm
Image runs off of a bootable CD via Linux (the Zip you download includes a program to
make the bootable CD) and it reads EVERYTHING on the drive, even the hidden
registration information, so everything is restored when needed... and you may restore
the image to a brand new drive in case of a crash, and not have to re-install anything
Please note that I own no part of Image, and I don't get a referral fee (that is just a
plain web link) but I use the program and it has saved me a LOT of trouble when I had a
hard drive die... and I was able to restore everything and not have to re-install or
re-activate a single program, from Windows on up

Premiere PRO CS5 Not Responding after 5.0.3 update.

Was working great until I updated to 5.0.3. As soon as I open a project I get a spinning circle along with (Not Responding) notice at the top. After waiting 10 minutes to see if it would respond and nothing happening I force quit the program. I've tried restarting the computer, opening up different projects, starting new projects and running the updater again. Still can't get it to work.
I don't think it's a hardware issue since it was running great prior to the update and this issue occuring immediately after the update.

Thanks Bill.
Eric at ADK actually resolved this for me. I hadn't uninstalled the previous driver for the quadro 5000 card when that driver was updated and premiere was having issues with the multiple nividia drivers so it was really an nvidia issue. He unistalled all the previous drivers for the quadro and that fixed the issue.
Can't say enough wonderful things about Eric and ADK. Very friendly and patient but most importantly knowledgeable.

Premiere Pro CS5 Not Responding / Not Opening / Audio Mixer Issue?

Please assist.
I have been editing 300GB of 10bit AVI footage with no problems. Recently I have had to record additional voice over which I have done through the audio card using Premier Pros Audio mixer and it appears this is where the problem may be occurring.
The Project has been set up onto three drives:
I am running the .prproj / project files off one 2TB drive and the video & audio assets on an additional 2TD drive, premier pro & the operating system is on a separate drive. I have no anti virus running or any other resource hungry programs.
PC specs:
Intel Core i7 2600 3.4Ghz Quad
16GB RAM
Nvidia GTX 560 1GB
I resave the project after each change and it appears that the edits that have the audio recordings eg: 5 different projects will not open. The projects that don't have the audio recordings open with no problems.
Does anyone have any suggestions or come across similar problems when using the Audio Mixer?

Have you installed the most recent updates?

Premiere Pro CC Not Responding

Spent an hour with online chat support and lets just say the pace at which the troubleshooting progressed was slower than slow. My online chat case was 0186030659 for your reference. It seems I figured out what the issue was in between the dead silence of the chat by doing my own trial and error. I have an into sequence I create about 3 weeks ago. Once I imported that sequence my whole project became unstable. Seems there is some incompatibility with slightly older patched project versions importing into the latest cc. These types of problems should not occur with a professional editing product and are very unacceptable especially when you spend hours on a timeline only to have it go into a perpetual non-responsive state. I opened my intro separately and I got a message to covert the project to a newer version. This conversion prompt should have occurred before importing into my new project and screwing that up.
Anyways the troubleshooting would have gone a lot smoother if the support specialist informed me I could recover from a checkpoint. As I said, I figured this out on my own in between the dead silence of no follow up from online chat. A certain amount of lost unrecoverable work is better than nothing I guess... Really not happy at the moment!

Thanks Kevin. Your tip is definitely a "word to the wise", but I was a bit frustrated that in the new CC era where one of the benefits is getting updates, the updates should not create backwards compatibility/stability issues with older projects imported into newer projects (mind you my older project was only 3 weeks old, not months or years). When I imported my intro project into my existing project I should have received the same message I got when I opened the intro by itself. That is, "your project was created with an older version... do you want to convert now...". Adobe should provide this similar warning when importing the project into a new version project.
I recovered my project by reloading my last auto-saved version prior to including the intro project. I lost probably a couple hours of work but this was the only workaround I came up with. As I said previously, I had repeatedly asked the support specialist if there was a checkpoint I could recover from and he never responded. I told him, I suspected the intro sequence, and I wanted to recover prior to the point or try and delete it from my existing project. I am 4 weeks new to this entire suite of software and I didn't know about the auto-save folder if it were not for my own digging in between lack of response and follow up in live chat.

Browser not responding, often using up 100% CPU

*tl;dr My web browser (and often other programs) freeze and Activity Monitor shows they're using a large amount of memory.*
I've been having performance problems with my MacBook for a few weeks now, with single programs causing my computer to heat up, freeze and make noise. Although I don't know what the cause may be, I've ordered 2 more sticks of RAM that will, hopefully, make things work smoother. But I'm still curious as to what is happening and why.
I'm using Webkit (webkit.org) right now, and yesterday I ran Onyx in an effort to alleviate problems like this, (a poor page ins/page outs ratio, specifically), but that, evidently, may have had the opposite effect. Within the past hour that I've had my computer on, this has happened twice. I have only had Webkit open- no other applications. This has started happening a few weeks after I upgraded to Snow Leopard, perhaps that has something to do with it.
Thanks.

Thanks! I've got to leave the computer for the night, but rest assured I'll try both of your replies and label them accordingly.

My macbook pro (2010 13inch) is really laggy when I'm using apps like iTunes and safari. the arrow on the screen seems to not respond and is laggy and when viewing videos it can be really laggy. I just want to know if it was a problem i could fix, thanks.

You might start with:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
If the above reveals nothing helpful, then create a new user account. Log out of your account and log into the new account. Do the problems cease?

Converting to MP3 causes iTunes to Not Respond while using 50% CPU usage and makes my computer stutter

Anytime I attempt to "Createa an MP3 Version" of a track, it will take a REALLY long time to work.
Right now I am attempting to convert an audio book I have which has 88 tracks. Once I start to convert anything more than 1 track at a time, iTunes immediatly becomes "Not Responding" and takes up about 50% of my CPU the entire time. It seems like it's doing something in the background but it won't even update the screen anymore, creating weird effects on my screen (Ghost menu bars show up at the top of my screen, etc.). In addition, once iTunes becomes non-responsive, my entire computer starts to "stutter" meaning that every other second everything momentarily hiccips and stop for a split-second. This means that while iTunes is converting any multiple MP3 files, if I drag the mouse across the screen, it stops every other second. Any videos that I try to play pause every other second briefly. Basically, my computer becomes almost unusable. Plus, while iTunes is working in the background, different programs randomly jump to the front of the screen. I will try to be using my web browser while iTunes is working in the background. Then, suddenly, iTunes pops back up to the foreground in front of my browser (put still won't be responsive to clicks). My notes program will also flash windows in front of my web browser while surfing, again, only when iTunes is running in the background.
I really don't understand:
1. Why it takes so much time to convert any file to an MP3 file. Even converting a single track takes a few minutes. I'll let my Macbook Pro (with Windows) sit for HOURS upon hours trying to convert the 88 track audio book and it always freezes up and never comes back.
2. Why iTunes becomes non-responsive so quickly and won't allow the screen to update once it starts "thinking." It caps out around 50% of my CPU power so it's not like it doesn't have the headroom to refresh the screen while it works.
3. Why does iTunes' working in the background affect every other program I am running? I don't mind if it uses up CPU cycles in the background, but if it makes my computer unusable while doing so, it's really not worth it.
I should state that I love Apple products (even though I use Windows on my MBP for school purposes). However, I absolutely DREAD having to do anything with iTunes anymore because it has become such a hog on my computer. Someone please tell me that there is something wrong with my iTunes and/or a setting I should change. I have already re-installed iTunes from scratch before and that didn't help.

Not a solution, but if the Podcast feed is dormant, why not unsubscribe?
As to the file structure for media on the device it is deliberately obscured as a countermeasure to casual piracy. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Content put on the iPod by a non-iPod aware product is going to treat it like any external drive. The iPod firmware won't read that media.
