Preview - very slow re-draw

HI all
One thing I've noticed in leopard is the new preview is very slow to re-draw when I have multiple image files loaded in. As a hit the next arrow it forms the next pic in big slow blocks unlike the previous preview that switched smoothly no matter how large the images were.
Has anyone else experienced this

I opened the pdf guide which is on the Leopard install disc. The whole machine went into a mini freeze state and then it eventually loaded. In tiger I have opened pdf's that were over 300mb in size and whilst there was an initial load it did then populate each page.
I'm sure its just a glitch to be worked out and will be addressed in 15.1 update.

Preview very slow with .nef photos

My preview works well for .jpg but not .nef.
Open folder, select 'all' right click, open with 'preview'. Very slow & jerky.
Used to work fine with .nef in Mt. Lion.
Any ideas?

Same issue here, and 10.10.2 brings no solution… Haven't you heard yet, Apple is the new Microsoft?!
Anyway, here a few tips to speed up Preview at least a bit, so one can use it for work again:
tip1:
Delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
Delete ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver*.plist
Shutdown OSX
Startup, immediately press and hold the P and R keys while holding down the option (⌥) and command (⌘) keys before the gray boot screen appears, which resets the PRAM
tip2:
Turn off "Smooth Text and Line Art" in the Preferences. Of course, that's really sad, because PDFs then look terrible, but at least they are easier to work with.
tip3:
For just viewing, use QuickLook: in the Finder, select the PDF and hit [SPACE]. Strangely, QuickLook isn't affected by the bug.
Anyway, those workarounds helped me a bit (thanks to those who posted them), but of course it's no proper solution. The last option would be to go back to Mavericks.
I heard the problem was reported to Apple when Yosemite was in beta, summer 2014. Nothing happened so far. Apple really has to get its act together…

RAM PREVIEW VERY SLOW (FAR FROM REAL TIME) ON NEW MAC PRO

Good afternoon
I have the new mac pro with 8 cores, 64 Gb of Ram and dual AMD 700 graphic card, but the preview on After effects is slower than in the old mac pro (from 2010). I have set the preferences as told in your website and everything stills the same. Could you please advice? is very frustrating to see that a new machine works worse than the older one.
thanks

Attached below you can see some screenshots from the settings I have on AE CC

AE CC ram previews very slow - no GPU support? Newbie trying to become not newbie, falling at first hurdle...

Hello. I'm currently trialling After Effects CC though Adobe Cloud. But I've hit a snag immediately.
I have an HD video edit in Premiere Pro which I want to dynamically import into AE to work on some bits.... I have imported the project file into AE, it seems to open just fine but the playback is intensely slow!
I have an uncertified GPU - a Nvidia Geforce gtx 460 - too old? I was expecting it to help out a bit, I'm not doing anything too badass, just colour correcting a bit of HD footage.
My processor is an i5 3.4ghz 4 core.
Perhaps I'm missing something fundamental here!? Please tell me what I'm completely failing to grasp
Thank you for your time,
Tony

Yup -- you're misssing a very basic item: AE doesn't work like Premiere Pro. It's not anything like PP, and it doesn't behave like it.
One way is the method you need to play video. Space bars just don't work. You need to do a RAM Preview -- hit the zero key on the numeric keypad, let AE render the frames it can, and then it plays them back as fast as it can.

Powerful System With Bottleneck: PPro CS6 Preview Very Slow.

Hello there!
I'm a YouTube MotoVlogger filming with 3 GoPro cameras in 1080p, which I stack up in Premiere CS6 to get different angles. I also sometimes make use of a green-screen for other fun things and will export this as an uncompressed TGA-sequence from After Effects, with alpha of course.
I've been having really bad problems trying to preview my project in Premiere CS6, and despite my system being fairly-powerful, I know there's a major bottleneck somewhere—probably with my HD setup with respect to editing. I basically can't preview a TGA sequence (which is repeated 3 times at different scales) without rendering first.
Initially, I suspected my video card since it was a GTX550Ti and wasn't fully-supported, but only has 192 CUDA cores. I went and got a GTX 680 with 1536 CUDA cores but noticed no real improvement. I am also not getting any kind of yellow pre-render indicator in Premiere. It's just all red and doesn't preview well at all.
My system specs:
Dual XEON Hexacore, 24-cores total
48GB RAM DDR3
SSD Boot drive (OS)
Main Drive: Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive (Premiere installed here).
3TB Backup drive (USB 3)
NVIDIA GTX 680 Video
Of course, had I known about this RAID stuff or that I would get heavy into editing, I would have gotten the system built with RAID 0, but I don't have it and I have a lot of stuff installed, from 3D Graphics to Audio software, vinyl cutting, etc.
So, am I correct in my guess that my HD I/O is way too slow? I need to try setting the scratch disk to the SSD, but there's only 24GB available. Total storage is about 128GB or something like that.
I was thinking of going with a USB3 External Raid 0 setup. Would this be a good fix for my Project files?
Any help is appreciated.
On an unrelated note, is it just me or is anyone else having issues using FireFox with this forum? My cursor keeps jumping back to a prior line of text! Super annoying.
Thanks!

I have read other messages that indicate that PPro does not LIKE to be installed to anything other than the boot drive... and it sometimes (often?) does not work properly if installed to anything other than the boot drive
Since you have PPro installed to the same drive that you are using for video files, you are overloading your data transfer capability... in effect, you are using only one drive (see below)
Trying to use only ONE Hard Drive for Video Editing
You are a music conductor, with a baton that you use to point to various parts of the
orchestra... this is like Windows pointing to various parts of the hard drive to do
Windows housekeeping or to load program segments for various functions
Now, at the same time and with the same hand... while still using the baton to conduct
the orchestra... pick up a bow and play a fiddle... this would be doing something with
your video file at the same time as all the other work
You as a person cannot do both at the same time with the same hand
A computer is a LITTLE better, in that it can switch from one kind of task to another
very quickly... but not quickly enough for EASY video editing
You need AT LEAST two hard drives (separate drives, never a partition
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/650708 for more) with Windows (or Mac OS) and software
on your boot drive, and video files on a 2nd drive so the boot drive is not slowed down
by trying to do everything
Partition = Crash http://forums.adobe.com/thread/957286
My 3 hard drives for video editing are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and ALL program installs (2)
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folders and files
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (1)
(1) for faster input/output if you have 4 drives
- use drive 3 for all source files
- use drive 4 for all output files
(2) only 70Gig used, for Win7 & CS5 MC & MS Office & other smaller programs

LiveCycle 8.0 saves and previews very slow

I have a file that is about 75 pages long, and a total of less than 1000 fields. It takes over 5 minutes to save or preview. What could be wrong?
It loads fairly fast in Reader -- less than 30 seconds.
I'm developing on Vista Home Premium, 2 GB Ram.
Help!

Any hints would be appreciated! :-)
Thanks!

Video preview very slow. Is my hardware fine? (CS4)

I've searched around the internet and apparently this is a fairly common problem people have. Sadly, despite the commonality, I couldn't find any definitive fix or solution for these problems. My PC isnt the best ever, but it can handle itself.
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 610
RAM: 8GB
Processor: AMD FX - 4300 Quad-Core Processor
(I'm not a hardware guy so I honestly have no idea if this stuff is good. I'm a software kind of guy)
So is any of this stuff the problem? If so, what should I replace and with what? I usually get a frame of video every 2 seconds or so, which makes cutting in the correct place a big hassle along with seeing how clips blend together.

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue.

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

*SOLVED* - 2D draw very slow, intel / fglrx Xorg driver

Hey all,
My very first support post to the forums
I have an issue on a few computers whereby the 2D drawing in X is very slow. This happens on my laptop with Intel vga and also on a desktop when using the proprietary fglrx driver. I did not have this problem a few months ago when using stable. At that time, I installed testing and discovered the problem, so I went back to stable. Some time later an update to Xorg came into stable and since then the problem is now in the that tree also.
I thought it might be the new GEM stuff for the Intel driver, so I installed the 2.6.28 kernel when it was released - it did not solve the problem. Installing an NVIDIA card into the desktop box does solves the problem (can't do that for my laptop!). Because it's happening with the intel and fglrx drivers, but not with NVIDIA, I think it might be a problem with some Xorg component that the NVIDIA driver performs itself? But I've no idea..
Essentially, I'm using wmii as my desktop, which is a tiled window manager. Creating a new terminal window, switching between them and closing them all is very slow (taking a second or more), when it should be pretty much instantaneous.
When doing these things, Xorg takes up 90% CPU usage. By comparison, on the same laptop under Debian it only uses 10% CPU (and the problem does not exist).
I have created two desktop screencasts of what I mean. In the videos I am quickly opening a bunch of xterms and then later holding down 'switch between terminals', then holding down 'close terminal'. I run htop to show the CPU usage.
Arch, 4.9 MB, OGV - http://christophersmart.com/videos/archlinux-wmii.ogv
Debian, 5.7 MB, OGV- http://christophersmart.com/videos/debian-wmii.ogv
Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch!
Chris
Edit: FYI, the desktop has an Intel Core2 CPU with 8GB RAM and 2 x WD Raptor drives in RAID 0. With an ATI card, wmii is unusable.

Well I first discovered the problem with the 'intel' driver and later when I set up Arch Linux on a desktop I was met with the same issue. I think it might be some part of Xorg that they both share, but it's not just a problem with the catalyst driver.. unfortunately

Print preview using crystal report in SAP B1 is very slow.

Dear all,
I face another problem. Print preview using crystal report in SAP B1 is very slow. Although i have create a layout in AR invoice form and applying the print sequences (ie 4 prints). Does any one know how to print preview fast. Just like in PLD.
Thanks in advance
Kamlesh Naware

Hi,
Basically Crystal report run with SQL statement, I would suggest to do well performance tuning on SQL query / Store Procedure.
Structure your query in DBA manner that will make some how faster such as use ( inner join, less condition,...)..
also if it simple query then use Command in Crystal report rather store Procedure..that make some how Faster your report.
Thanks
Kevin

Very Slow preview rendering for lightroom 5 on import

I am seeing very very slow rendering of preview images only when using the import function in lightroom 5. By slow, I mean for a shoot of 60 shots in raw, it could take 30 minutes before I can preview them all in the pane to see which ones I want to actually import. This was not an issue with lightroom 4. It is not an issue when using lightroom. Previews are fast there, even for images I've never pulled up before.
My hardware is a PC, with an intell i7 chip, and 16 gig of memory. My nvidia graphics card has the latest drivers.
I've seen a few others reporting this issue, so I'm trying to log it as a bug. Even though the dial up support text on the adobe lightroom says available 24/7, it now plays a voice recording that says only available m-f.
Brad

I'm having the same problem using Windows 7 (64b). I just took a shoot over the weekend for a significant birthday event. Now I can't load the photos. The work-around doesn't work as the program freezes before I get the chance to select the camera under "files".
I recently upgraded from 3.6 to 5 as I was also noticing a slowdown in the import function. That turned out to be a bad move I think. I also deliberately cleaned up the CF card and removed all my video recordings, as this seems to be reported as part of the problem, but to no avail.
This seems to be a pretty major bug to have in a major release that's been around for a while now, that I'm expected to pay for, and no sign of a resolution to date!

Preview rendering Very Slow

Hi,
Can anyone help with Preview.app slow rendering issue for large PDF files, it is very slow after upgrading to lion. (AutoCAD drawings that are PDFed)
Small PDF documents are fine.

Hi Guys I work with a lot of pdf files with being a student at uni and not sure these tips might help.
Try an app called skim which is free it handles pdfs nicely and looks similar to the preview app.
Also if a pdf is slow to scroll try selecting all the pages goto file print. Then on the bottom left hand side of the print window select pdf and then save as pdf. I have found on some pdfs (usually the ones in black and white and look like a photo copy) using the the print save as pdf option has then allowed me to view a pdf fine in the preview app without any issues. Hope this is useful.
I suspect its to do with pixels per inch or dots per inch of the document.

JDeveloper 11g Tech Preview 4 Very Slow

How to increase the the working speed (cache) of JDeveloper 11g tech preview 4. While coding it is taking time to get it typed. During scrolling the page, it is moving very slow. I have tried with changing the value of AddVMOption -Xmx512M in "ide.conf" file. Changed it to 1024. Still there is no difference. Please help me.....
Thank you for your attention
Vins

And to back up John's words, the TP releases were designated for non-production "preview" use only, were not optimised in anyway, have huge amounts of bugs and are not supported. Best upgrade or you're going to have further issues.

Preview Project slides are very slow

I have a new problem, that just appeared in Captivate. If I record on a slide, doesn't matter which mode, Full Motion, Automatic Recording, etc, the slides play back in Preview Project extremely slowly.
I have the Slide Duration at 5 seconds under Preferences. I can change the slide duration in the timeline for each invididual slide, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. The slides in Preview Project take about 30 seconds or more to cycle. It works the same if I go in an Preview the Next 10 slides. I have changed the number of slides down to Preview Next 2 slides and it still runs very slow.
If anyone knows why this might be occuring, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Mike

If you're on Captivate 5, go into Preferences and try clearing out the Cache using the Clear Cache button provided there under Global > General Settings.
If that doesn't work, try deleting your entire Preferences folder:
- on Xp: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Captivate 5
- on Vista/Win7:C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 5
- on MAC: /Users/<USER NAME>/Library/Preferences/
If things are still running slow, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Flash Player via Control Panel. Cp's preview functionality may depend on Flash player since it's previewing an SWF file.
Does that improve things?

Very slow preview speed

After building a page with panels inside accordian container I'm noticing very slow preview times. Is this likely to be the case after publishing the site? The panels hold 3 to 4 Youtube or Vimeo videos. So there could be up to 20 videos inserted into the accordian layout.

As long as the videos are not set to auto play you should be fine. When you preview are you previewing in Muse or in Browser? Generally in most cases viewing in browser will give you a better idea.
