Preview video jagged in CS3 (after system upgrade)

My production company just upgraded our production machines:
Intel Core i7 870 chips
16 GB DDR3 ram
GeForce GTX 465 graphics cards
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS
... so these machines should have no problem running anything. We are still using CS 3 though, which is running in 32-bit, so it's not fully taking advantage of the processing power/RAM.
Anyway, upon loading a Premiere project I instantly noticed that the preview video (in both the source and program monitors) is now playing back quite jagged... like it's in "draft" mode or looks ridiculous interlaced. BTW, all the projects/footage we work with is in regular old DV NTSC 720/480 (0.9) 29.97fps. We have external NTSC preview monitors that take a feed from a DV deck that is connected to the computer via firewire, and the NTSC monitor video looks perfectly fine... it's just the preview video inside of Premiere. I went through all of the display options that I could think of: changed quality inbetween "high" and "automatic", optimized rendering for both "performance" and "memory", selected on and off "maximum bit depth" and "optimize stills" options, and selected all three different options in Playback Settings > Desktop Display Mode (the only difference here is that when "compatible" is selected, the still images look smooth and normal... but when you play the video the jagged look starts happening).
I also tried going into the Nvidia display settings to see if there were any options regarding video rendering or altering hardware acceleration or something... but nothing there helped the problem.
My only guess as to what the problem is, is that now I'm running CS3 in 32-bit on a 64-bit operating system with a different video card. All I know, is that the preview video never looked like this on my old machine (dual Xeon 3Ghz, 4GB DDR2 ram, Win XP 32-bit).
Any ideas?

For starters, if things look good on a properly calibrated external CRT display, then don't worry too much about how they look inside Premiere. The internal monitors are for viewing content only, not for judging quality.
Having said that, keep the Playback Quality on High. Change the size from Fit (the default) to 100% and see if that helps.

Illustrator CS4 no longer previews fonts in Character palette after Yosemite upgrade
Please help...Thanks

inkydmark,
You may wish to roll back from Yosemite and wait to see whether the issues will be solved and reported as such.
Weeding out in older plugins seems to have helped some in some cases. It also seems that JAVA Runtime may be involved, for some it seems to help to roll back to an ealier version, for others to update to the newest.
All the above is more or less hearsay so far, with no definite final confirmation.
In any case, there is something to be sorted out by someone. Yosemite was made long after CS4, so it may be difficult.
There is a way round an even worse issue shown in post #2 here:

For me it occurred after this update..... I dunno why , but openbox wouldn't load, kde would, however
Guess it's due to the mesa update and using the legacy nvida-173xx driver

[SOLVED] Gnome does not mount ipod after system upgrade

I did a system upgrade today (2009.12.04) and now gnome does not mount my ipod video (gnome used to mount the ipod without problems before de upgrade).
Here is some information about the system messages:
Last lines of the output of dmesg before plugging the ipod:

Any help?
Many tks

Finally found the problem was the Ipod itself. After a soft reset everything worked again.

GDM errors on VMWare after system upgrade

After a system upgrade today, I'm getting this when GDM starts:
gdm-binary[595]: WARNING: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server for log errors
There aren't any errors in the Xorg log. The vmware driver is explicitly listed as being loaded:
Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vware_drv.so
Modul vmware: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
vmware: Using vmwlegacy driver everything is fine.
vmwlegacy: driver for VMWare SVGA: vmware0405, wmare0710
When I run gdm, I get this:
** (gdm-binary:970): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome/DisplayManager
** (gdm-binary:970): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
There are several gdm processes running. When I kill them, they're all restarted with the same results.
I've reinstalled xorg-server, xorg-apps, gdm, and xf86-video-vmware.
From what I've gathered, there's a problem with the video driver.
Any recommendations on troubleshooting this?

Solved for me using the solution in this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p1072193
I wouldn't mark the present thread as solved, however, since the original poster was experiencing issues with VMWare, while my own problems were on VirtualBox.

Fonts went strange after system upgrade

After 'pacman -Syu' i rebooted and my fonts started looking strange, kinda bigger.
In some places its not even noticeable but again in other places it is x(.
I'm using Flubox as a WM and i really don't think this has anything to do with the WM.
I was wondering if anyone else experienced some similar problems after this upgrade?

I tried clearing the font cache but it didin't help.
Any ideas?

I'm having a similar issue. Only difference is that fonts looks smaller than before the upgrade.
I don't think this has something to do with KMS, because that update was a week ago an no problem was detected. This small fonts issue is probably related to recent updates on xorg- stuff.
Moreover, the strange thing here is that only GUIs fonts got smaller. Fonts on firefox (the webpage, not the user interface) looks exactly the same as before.
What should we do?

Screen blinking after system upgrade

Hi!. Last evening I made a system upgrade (-Syu), this morning I've turned the pc on and I've discovered my screen was blinking, the problem starts when grub finishs and starts Arch. I've searching in the forum but I didn't find anything. The problem is solved partialy when the screen resolution is changed to 1280*960 (the original is 1280*1024), at this resolution, the blinking dissapears.
My graphic card is a Sapphire Radeon HD 6570, the driver I have ever used is xf86-video-ati.

Hello everyone!
After upgrading to kernel 3.14.1-1, I suffered from the problem of screen flashing rapidly when I booted into the Arch Linux.
Problem Description
As we know, when the kernel boots from the grub, it firstly enters a text model where the resolution of the screen is low. At this stage, "Welcome to Arch Linux!" is printed on the screen. And then it loads some kernel modules and the video display becomes normal with a correct resolution supported by the monitor. If Xorg is not installed, it will stay at a command promt asking for user name and password. The above is a normal kernel booting process. Here the problem is:
When my Arch Linux kernel tries to change from the model with low resolution of the screen to a normal video model, it fails. After loading the video card driver, the screen flash once and I can see the kernel change the resolution of the screen correctly, but the whole screen begin flashing rapidly. The screen flash makes me feel very dizzy. At the same time the position of the screen display is also wrong. The screen splits into two part: the right part of the screen should be on the left while the left part of the screen should be on the right side. Each long line of text is splited into two non-continuous fragments.
After downgrading to the linux kernel 3.12.9-2, all the problems disappear. It should be the problem from kernel 3.14.1 I think since the problem begins when I upgrade my kernel to that version.
System info
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Platform: x86_64
kernel version: 3.14.1-1 from core.
GPU model: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Caicos PRO [Radeon HD 7450] [1002:677b]
GPU driver:xf86-video-ati(for Xorg). I did not use the Catalyst driver.
Thank you very much!

No battery life after system upgrade

I've searched this forum and found a few notes about significant battery problems after Android upgrades. Immediately after upgrading my Droid X, my battery life went from more than 24 hours to about 4 hours. The battery is very hot and takes about 6 hours to charge. Clearly something is draining the battery. The Verizon tech folks declared it a faulty battery and are sending a new one. I am certain that's not the problem, especially since others have reported the same issue.
So I hoped to wipe the cache before having to do a factory reset -- it was suggested as a possible solution. I have found some instructions for wiping the cache, but I can't seem to get the instructions to work. I power off my Droid, then hold the home key. Nothing happens. So I can't get to the menu that gives the options mentioned. Can anyone help? I loved my Droid until this update... I really need my phone to work as I am self-employed. I am my own IT department!

Hi dazzie,
I understand your discontent; I would be frustrated if my phone's battery drained for no apparent reason. Please run your phone in Safe Mode as recommended by Cody21 (thank you!). Safe Mode temporarily disables all applications that have been installed via the Android Market. Performing this troubleshooting step is necessary to determine whether a 3rd party application is the cause of an Operating System / Application issue.
I have checked my resources and I learned that similar battery issues have occurred with other devices upon a software upgrade due to third party applications that are not fully compatible with the upgrade Operating System and a Factory Reset has resolved most post upgrade issues. Please do a Factory Reset as this may resolve your concerns.
Please keep in mind that performing a hard reset will remove ALL data including the Google account, system data, application data, application settings, and downloaded applications.

[SOLVED]Problem with logging in after system upgrade

Hi,
I'm encountering some problem after rebooting my machine just after last upgrade. Few minutes ago I was sure I found the source of the problem when system hang on "Reached target Graphical Interface" message. Reason - nvidia drivers had to be replaced with legacy version (https://www.archlinux.org/news/nvidia-340xx-and-nvidia/). But it didn't help. Also it made things a little bit worse. Because now my system uses nvidia-340xx and it seems drivers are fine but when login screen of lightdm should appear screens stay blank... and nothing happens. I simply can't do anything.
What I noticed is also xfce4-session was upgraded (4.10.1.3->4.10.1-5) and maybe this is the separate problem? but I can't downgrade this package as some time ago I removed all contents of /var/cache/pacman/pkg.
What I have is arch on pendrive so I can chroot into existing system.
Any ideas?

I found something similar to line
(EE) Mar 07 14:05:07 NVIDIA(0): WAIT: (E, 0, 0x837d, 0)
these values are not exact as I'm too tired now to rewrite the real ones from screen
maybe I should install some older nvidia drivers (these 340xx are broken somehow I think). Unfortunately I don't have my /pkg content anymore.
Where can I download packages like nvidia-340.32-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz from? (according to pacman.log I had this version back in July and it was working fine I think).
I could also start X with Nouveau drivers but not xfce (anyway I would like to install old nvidia drivers back)

Iphoto wont open after system upgrade and iLife install

I installed Leopard and reallized i had to also buy iLife because the old version of iphoto was not supported by the the new operating system. Installed iLife and everything works exept iphoto. It acts as though it is "loading library" and then a pop-up window shows up saying:
"The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iphoto. Your photo library will not be readable by previouse versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library."
I have hit "upgrade". But it still does not open.
I have about 9000 photos saved on an external drive.
I have repaired permissions as well as trashed iphoto and re-installed.
I read similar posts and am tempted to create a new library with library photo manager but am affraid i will lose some of my pictures.
I should include that because I couldn't open after the os update, I went into the my photo folders through finder and added new pix that I needed to get off of my camera. I've sinced trashed those folders.
Any ideas?
THanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Thanks for the heads up on the out of date screenshot of BatChmod. It's been updated now. If all you your efforts to get your library updated and running fail you might try rebuilding the library with iPhoto Library Manager. It creates a new library based on the data in the AlbumData.xml file and leaves your current library untouched. Here's how that would work:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Multiple selection in the ALV is not possible after system upgrade

Hi Colleague,
I had been using an ALV, which was performing as desired before, but recently we had a system upgrade to NW7.0 and after that in this ALV multiple selection of records/rows is not allowed.
The colleagues who upgraded the system suggested that this may be because this ALV is instantiated at many places. I would request you to kindly provide a solution for the same ASAP, as I am not able to proceede ahead.
Warm regards,
Roopesh

Hi all,
Thanks for your replies, I had figured out the actual problem. The reason was, the referance of the selected rows was lost as I was doing bind elements to the context after moving to wddomodify.
So I figured out an alternative solution to avoid binding on selection of records.
Best regards,
Roopesh

App disappeared after system upgrade

After a system upgrade one of my apps disappeared. How do I get it back?

Easiest thing is to load your backup
Beyond that a lot more information is needed and it may be difficult and/or expensive - which is of cousre why you always have a backup and especially before doing any upgrades or updates - if you do not you are 100% guarenteed to lose your photos and other files sooner or later

[SOLVED] Boot problems after system upgrade

hi everybody,
first of all i have to say, that the machine where i installed Arch is pretty old (something around 5 years).
I already tried installing Arch two times and every time after i performed a system upgrade, i couldn't boot arch.
Before the upgrade i rebooted several times to ensure that its working with the brand new installation - it worked.
Here i'm the 3rd try. This time i configured packman to ignore the kernel package and voila its working now with kernel 2.6.25.6-1.
So, here is my question: Is there any problem that could appear later on if i never upgrade the kernel?
I'm quite new to linux and really appreciate your support.
Regards
Daniel

Well ... the kernel, like any other piece of program, from time to time has to be patched if they find a bug in it.
Never upgrading means that you do not get the benefit of security and improvements patches.
There is also the issue that some programs, a few, may want to have a certain kernel to run but I think that is less common.
I, for instance, have not upgraded the kernel for a few months now because it screws up my wifi.
If you can live with that then you are OK.

Sound problems after system upgrade

I am having intermittent sound problems on my ipad2 after I upgraded to 6. When this occurs my volume control doesn't work. This problem occurs sometimes in the middle of playing a video.

hhhmm, thanks for the answer,
i reinstalled alsa-driver, run depmod -a & then try to load the modules & it doesn't work! i always get :
Can't locate module snd-pcm-oss
that happens with all the modules i try to load. & my modules are still in
/lib/modules/2.4.24/kernel/sound
is there a way i can load them from there or copy them somewhere else or i don't know what else.
thanks for the help though!

Re-recording all of the eCATT scripts after system upgrade

Hi,
Ive heard something today that got my attention: some people say that you have to re-record all of your scripts after an upgrade. In other words, upgrade from, for example, 5.0 to 6.0 makes eCATT scripts unusable and worthless. It is not just some screens or screen sequences have changed, and must be re-recorded. It's a total change and <b>everything, all scripts</b>, have to be re-done.
I would like to get some clarification on this.
Thank you in advance, Alexei Merkoulov

Yes, I've also heard about this before. We do not use a lot of CATT (it's been turned into the data loading tool), so it is not an issue for us.
Here is my concern - we are on ECC 5.0 (WAS 6.40) and using eCATT to create and maintain scripts for automated functional testing. Let's say, we upgrade our system to 6.0 or 7.0, and want to use existing scripts for regression testing. I do not want to discover unexpectedly that our entire (all of it) existing body of automated scripts cannot function with the new version of the software.
Please let me know if you have similar experience with managing eCATT scripts upgrade in the past (say 6.20 to 6.40).
Thanks, AM
