Preview Problems

I have noticed several irritating issues with Preview. Although I have found Preview to be at the core of my everyday work, and very powerful and flexible, there are some problems with the program that are simple coding issues (apparently) that is unusual for Apple software. I notice several things.
1) When I go to "Export" or "Save", the Save button is frequently, almost always, off the screen, and I can't move the window. Hitting return works without hitting the Save button, but it is a little frustrating not seeing a part of the window.
2) Frequently, the Format and Filter dropdown menus, etc., are printed over the filename portion of the window.
It's like the whole coordinate system is messed up so that the calls made within Preview are wrong, and the windows are too big and are partially offscreen, and the menus printed in the wrong location. There's a bug in there somewhere.
Has anyone else noticed this??

You need to rebuild the thumbnails for that project, not just the database.
Quit Aperture.
Control-click on your Aperture library and select Show Package Contents. Locate the project with the problem. Control-click on the project and select Show Package Contents again.
Trash the AP.Tinies, AP.Thumbnails, and AP.Minis files. Close the windows you opened.
Launch Aperture and select that project. It will rebuild the thumbnails (this may take a while).

RAM Preview Problems in After Effects CC

AE CS 6 RAM Previews work, but two problems to report with AE CC on the same computer. Possibly two faces of the same problem.
1. Having QuickTime Player open while doing a RAM preview makes the RAM preview stutter. I quit the player, and now the RAM preview plays back without dropping a frame, though Info palate shows "fps: 24 (realtime)", but the RAM preview playback is slow: ie, a tenor sounds like a baritone.
2. A RAM preview that looked and sounded fine last night, is now playing back slowly (tenor sounds like a baritone), though Info Palate shows "fps: 24 (realtime)". I have no other applications open. The only thing that changed is that I quit AE, slept the computer, slept a little myself, and then launched AE. Trashing the cache files (manually), rebooting, relaunching and re-RAM-previewing creates a functional RAM preview, so I assume there is some problem with the cached files or the retrieval of them.
Is anyone else getting either of these? If so, what is your system configuration?
Also, I posted on another thread that Quicktime import/render works with AE CS6 on this computer, but AE CC can not import, play, or render QT reliably (without throwing error messages). Perhaps all of this is part of the same problem.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Benjamin
CS 6 CC | Mac OS 10.8.4 | MacPro5,1 | 96 GB Ram | PROJECT & MEDIA drive: Mercury Accelsior > 500 MB/s read/write | CACHE drive: Mercury Accelsior > 500 MB/s read/write | Nvidia Quadro 4000 Mac | CUDA Driver: latest update | Wacom Intuos 5

96 GB RAM is accessible in 10.8.4 on my machine according to OWC. I'm working on a stereoscopic 4K project with large files and hundreds of layers. I regurlarly render with AE MP while working with huge files in PS, and am glad to see the % of RAM AE uses displayed in my render cue between 3 and 60%.
I have 12 processors (24 with hyperthreading)
I have reserved 10 for other applications leaving 14 for After Effects
4 GB per x 14 = 56 GB for AE. leaving 40 GB for everything else
I've played with what and how much I have allocated being sure to keep the CPU counts even, but this does not fix the RAM preview problems described above. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Benjamin

CS4 Premiere Pro General file format & preview problems

I was redirected here after posting my complaint on Twitter, so please excuse my forum manner.
I've been using Adobe Premiere Pro (CS4) for about a year now, and I've been editing videos along with other packages with no problem. (Only problem being my slow processor). Up until last week Premiere Pro has been completely fine. But seeing I have a project deadline next month, I thought I would spend a day trying to kick-start the video editing.
My source videos were originally photograph-frames animated in Flash CS4 into .MOV, decided to use the H.264 output codec. As I have finished exporting my needed videos, I imported them into Premiere Pro as usual, as I have in the past. But then I encountered the common problem that I have seen quite a few have also encountered with .MOV, or jsut general "no-preview" problem when the source video is fine.
I then took a day to research online about Premiere Pro's compatability with .MOV, among other container and formats. Upon using softwares such as MediaInfo and GSpot, I found that there might have been a problem with missing Codecs within my Adobe package. I then tried to convert the .MOV into .MPG (mpeg2), hoping such standard codec would work with Premiere Pro as they they in the past. No result avail.
I then turned to the uninstall route (retaining user info) and re-installing. The problem has NOT been fixed, what's more is that it crashes almost instantly after I try rendering the workplace. (Even post-rendering does not show the preview, but the files in the Adobe folder, does). Here's a screencap to my latest workplace, if it helps:
[IMG]http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k83/neo0031/AdobePreProcap.jpg[/IMG]
Before the re-install, I believe I was running Premiere Pro CS4's latest update (4.2.x) something, now it is back to 4.0.0. But I don't think that is where the main problem is? I recently changed my locale from a certain language to Japanese to run a certain program. Would that be causing the problem(s)?
Does anyone know a way that I can FIX this? Any help is appreciated and I thank you all in advance.
I am using a Sony Vaio NS series laptop,
a 2.0 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core processor
3GB RAM,
intergrated graphics Intel Chipset Family Series 4( I think).
Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit.
I tried moving the Scratch disks from an external portable hard drive to the local hard drive, to no result.
Again, any help is appreciated. I would appreciate direct advice rather than links. Thanks again.
Neo.

I have updated my CS4, Ppro to 4.2.1. The problem still remains. Would it have anything to do with my project setting? I don't have much knowledge to setting one up. The difference between the AVC projects and etc?
EDIT : I took the problem to my lecturer, and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but his "magic touch" click on the preview panel (Main composition) has made the video show up! But even after render, it won't play. But scrubbing along frames is now fixed. Any idea what's causing the no-preview-playback?

I got render and RAM preview problems. help?

i got render and RAM preview problems with after effects! please help me
when i started on a project earlier today the RAM preview was failing and it stoped making a preview after about a second, when i hit the RAM preview buttom again it continued to load and stoped again after a half second, and it continued to do that till it wasn't loading at all, just playing the same thing up even doe it haden't loaded the whole composition! BUT if i moved the (thing you see where you are on the timeline in need of a better name) it started loading a little more and then it stoped again.. so after alot of problems and moving i managed to make a RAM preview of the whole composition..
now the real problem: when i was done with my project and i was going to reender i did like this: i added my composition to the render queue, chosed my render settings and started to render, after exactly 37 frames it stoped and no window or anything poped up, the only thing that was telling me something was wrong was the render status, and it said: ''failed at 0;00;00;37'' that's not even a second! and BTW when i render after effects only uses 12% of my 6GB RAM memory.. i dont know what to do! i've tried other render settings but the same thing happens! can anyone help me?
BTW i'm swedish and only 14 so i might misspelled something..

Start here and make sure that you understand how RAM preview is supposed to work first:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/424030
What version of After Effects? Have you installed the recent updates? What operating system? What kind(s) of source footage? Has this ever worked before? What other software are you running? Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Are you rendering with OpenGL?
What are your Memory & Multiprocessing settings? Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing?

ProRes to Blu-Ray H.264, then Preview problems in Encore CS5

Hello all,
I've been taking 90 minute or so ProRes 422 QuickTimes (29.97 interlaced) into Media Encoder CS 5 and creating H.264 Blu-Ray files for use in Encore CS5. I'm using the 1080i maximum quality setting and adjusting it so that target bitrate is 25mbps and max is 30. Also doing 2-pass VBR.
The issue I'm having is when I import these files into Encore CS5 and then preview them in a timeline they are artifacting all over the place. They look like my cable signal when it breaks up, except through the entire program. I've re-transcoded in the Media Encoder and am having the same issue. I've also tried transcoding within Encore (which is really the same thing), and still it persists. I haven't made a BD-R yet to check that and I know the preview in Encore CS 5 is very buggy. But I'm wondering -- has anyone run into this? Is this just a preview problem, or is there something actually wrong with the transcodes?
Also, if anyone has a tip for where I can open the *.m4v files coming out of Media Encoder so that I can check them somewhere other than in Encore that would be awesome. VLC player doesn't work, neither does QuickTime. Thanks everyone!
Best,
JD

Jeff,
Thanks for the response. Here are the answers to your questions:
Some obvious but necessary checks:
Are you authoring in a Blu-ray project and not a DVD project? YES, it is a 1080i 29.97 Blu-Ray project.
Are you checking the transcode status column for Blu-ray and not DVD? Definitely looking at the transcode status for Blu-Ray, and not DVD.
If all is OK with those checks, then please check the audio:
Are the files multiplexed? If so, try elementary streams.
Are you using elementary streams? If so, try multiplexed.
On these notes -- what is a good way for me to know if the transcoded files are multiplexed or elementary? The interesting thing is that when I bring in the M4V and WAV files into Encore from what AME creates, the WAV file does NOT require transcoding, but the video file (M4V) does.
Regarding the preview issue I was having it's worth noting that when I checked back in preferences the playback quality was still set to DRAFT, as if when I switched it to HIGH it just didn't take (and I tried this more than once). I put it to HIGH again today and this time it seems it took, as preview playback quality is good again. Just seems strange to me that Encore has a mind of it's own sometimes with certain things.
I'm really more concerned with the transcoding at this point. I did a project a couple weeks back where I just bit the bullet and transcoded the M4V again in Encore to author the ISO file, and several chapters of the program came out stuttering on the disc. The original Quicktime source is fine and the preview playback on it was fine during those chapters. I can't seem to find a throughline for these problems -- just seems to happen every now and then and can't control it.
I authored a 53 minute 1080p 23.98 disc in early January that worked beautifully. Everything was great - no problems.

Repair/verify disk permissions and Preview problem.

The preview problem is yet to be solved + is outlined here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=298858&tstart=0
Also:
I decided to open up disk utility and verify disk permissions, this went fine. I then went on to 'verify disk' and it told me:
Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
What's the solution? start up from OSX install disc? is this hard to do?

I am also having trouble with "verify disk permissions".
I have had frequent crashes recenlty and as a result upgraded to Tiger. The system crashes sometime when recovering from sleep (twice yesterday) and was crashing ferquently in Panther OS when hitting the odd key here and there.
Since upgrading to Tiger, I have apparrently successfully "repaired the disc permissions" on the start up volume, but then when I come to check them again, there are still the same problems, even though the "disk utility" has been run successfully. Have run disc warrior and "Verify disk" and still not convinced.
I also notice that the machine seems to be much slower running Tiger than before.
I avoided a complete install of the new OS because of all the aggro that involves, but it may be my only option if no one can help.
All thoughts appreciated.
Thanks

Preview problems, Premiere CS5 Windows

Hi!
I´ve been using Premiere for 10 years, so I should know it pretty well, but this is my case:
I start Premiere, choose "New project", tried different sequence settings, but the DVCPro HD 25 (PAL) is the most relevant. Inside Premiere, I import a clip, and drag it onto the timeline. So far, everything´s normal. The problems starts when I press the space button for preview. The only thing´s happening is the play symbol changes to a stop symbol in the composition window. No timecode´s running, no moving marker, and only a still image in the composition window. I can jog it frame by frame, and I can move the marker, and everything is fine, but also no playback. The play button in comp window does not make a change.
My next problem is to get this version to work with my Black Magic Decklink Extreme. I have an output signal, but no picture.
My system:
Pentium i7
12GB RAM
Win 7
Anybody?
Erik

Thanks, but I´ve found a problem with my Decklink Extreme PCI card. The Premiere preview problem happens only when I´m using any Black Magic presets. Is Decklink Extreme PCI/windows 7/Adobe CS5 a bad combination? I´m not able to get any picture on my monitor from the decklink what so ever (composite/component), but there´s a signal there (black video). Worked fine in XP (with CS3), kind of worked in win7 with my old configuration (4GB RAM, single core AMD-processor), and absolutely no response now.

Crystal Reports print preview problem

Hello
The problem is that print preview of a report using crystal Report dotnet Print Preview is making u201Cblank signsu201D inside words. The blank signs occurs near Swedish special signs like u201Cåu201D, u201Cäu201D and u201Cöu201D. Also near u201C.u201D (dot). Maybe there are more signs making this problem.
The problem occurs for those who have .NetRuntime, or a full installation of Crystal Reports
The problem started when we installed Crystal Reports 12. In earlier versions we had no problem with this.
It feels like Crystal Report have some bug in the u201Ctext rendering engineu201D. This is obviously a problem when a customer previews a text before printing it. This preview should look like the printout. Even if the room between two letters not is a space, there still is a room that is interpreted as a space by a human.
However, if we zoom to larger % (200%) the preivew is matching the report.
Regards
Kamlesh

Make sure you have SP 2:

You need to resolve this in the designer, before trying to resolve it in a .NET application.

After effects cc RAM preview problem

I recently bought a new rig
i7 4790K running at stock
8gb 1866mhz corsair vengeance pro ram 2x4gb
EVGA GTX 770 2gb superclocked
WD Black 1TB 7200rpm
Samsung 840 Pro 128gb
Asus Z97-PRO motherboard
I run AE and open a file and import my clip (59.94fps) and add twixtor and then hit ram preview to see if all is good and it either takes a little bit longer than it should
or it would say "Rendering frame switching to foreground" When this happens all seems ok but after the preview I can not scroll through the timeline without lag and pixelation again like as if I havnt hit the ram preview. So it would have the green bar above the clips showing for the ram preview but once the preview is over I can scroll through the timeline for a second then the green bar goes away. I know that the pixelation is due to adaptive resolution
but I have tried changing that to "fast draft" and the pixelation stops but still struggle to view in timeline. I have the preview resolution set to third or quarter.
I thought that getting higher clocked ram would solve the problem atleast a little more. But not to much. So my main question is what am I doing wrong? Or how can I correctly setup AE or my computer to handle this?
The main clip is actually 200fps but I go to File>Interperate footage>Main>Conform to framerate
Changing it from 200fps to 59.94.
My main frustration is I see videos of the kinds of clips I'm editing posted by kids that edited them and I think theres no way they have a pc as expensive as mine that would allow them to edit these clips. So Its gotta be something I'm doing wrong.
Thank you to anyone that helps so much!

Well, for starters, turn off MP rendering. That warning during RAM previews is a clear indication that you are using it and well, with just 8GB RAM it doesn't exactly make sense. The rest is too vague since you haven't provided any proper details about your source file, but suffice it to say that temporal mangling of any kind can have weird effects, even more so if your source files are compressed. Therefore the pertinent thing to do first would be to convert your file to an uncompressed intermediate format, including conforming it to your target framerate. In addition you may simply consider not using any fast previews or the disk cache at all. It is known to be flaky with temporal plug-ins. set your comp to Final quality to enforce software mode rendering.

Crashing and preview problems

Hi Folks,
I had purchased the Premire Elements 8 pack a month ago and I find myself struggling with it on a daily basis and I will appreciate your help.
H/W Environment: Windows 7 Ultimate (32 bit), Intel Core Duo CPU T8100 2.1 GHz, 4GB RAM, 120GB free on my HDD
S/W Environment: Premiere elements 8.0 + Photosop 8.0 Elements + ProDAD plugins
Error message: "Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Elements to shut down"
Problem description:
1) While working with the Premiere Elements 8, (even without ProDAD plugins) the system crushes again and again and its almost impossible to with it.
2) If I am lucky and I managed to create a basic project (few pictures with ProDAD transition effects) the Premiere is unable to run a preview show, the time bar is moving forward but the preview screen is freezing. in order to overcome this issue I had to save the project as a clip and than evaluate it.
3) Saving the project as a solution for #2 is taking approximatly 1.5 hour.
Thanks in advance,
Ofer

Hi Steve,
1) I am using SONY Handycam DCR-SX30E and the video format is .mpg
2) I turned off the program's intrusive background processes and install the latest updates as you recommended.
Unfortunately the problem was not resolved.
I would like to emphasize that the problem that I am facing is not related to video at all, its happening even without any video (only jpg files)
After all the updates:
I created a small project contain of 10 jpg files( 3.5 MB each), NO video in it
I added 6 transition effects (Premiere effects) and 3 transition effects by ProDAD Adorage plugin
While trying to see the preview clip some transitions didnt appear at all
I tried to save the project as AVI like I used to do, the project couldn't complete the saving process An Error popup indicate that an "Error compiling movie. unknown error. "
After closing the Premiere completely and after several attempts I managed to save the file on my PC as an AVI format (it took 20 min to complete the process), but the result was an AVI with partial data on it ( only with the first effect and first jpg)
I would like to mention also that the main problem was not resolved and I am still facing severe crushes very frequently.
Regards,
Ofer

Preview : problem with PDF and Arial font

I receive PDF files from my telco; the PDF use the Arial font, which they embed in the PDF. Not an ideal choice, but I can't change this.
Problem : when I display the file in Preview (OS X 10.5.6), large parts of the text do not appear. The file can correctly be displayed with Adobe Reader on the same Mac, on other machines (Windows PC with various PDF viewers) or in GMail. The issue really seems to be related to the "Preview" application.
Any idea on what causes this? Are there limitations on the PDF files that Preview can display ?

Not necessarily! Because there are many places fonts can reside in Leopard, multiple versions of the same named font may be present. This is especially true for fonts that may come with multiple software installs like Arial (commonly installed by Microsoft Office). The system may not always choose the most recent font. It is a simple matter to check in Font Book for conflicts.

Credit memo print preview problem

Hi Friends,
The present process is return sales , in which return sales order created with reference to sales order, Credit memo request created and Credit memo also created.But the problem is not getting print preview.Error message is Excise invoice corresponding to the document type is not found.
We are generating Excise invoice Automatically, Is there any effect of this on the present issue.Please give some hint.
Thanks
Chetan

Hi,
See normally we have excise invoice creation automatic when invoice is saved. In such cases we have a check in the print program of invoice, which prevents its printing if excise invoice is not created.
In case of credit memo, you might not be creating any excise invoice, but the print program attached might be preventing its printing also.
Check that such a check is given in print program for credit memo output, if yes you may have to remove it.
Hope this helps you.
Regards,
Dhananjay
