Program freezes realtime playback glitchy

Hi I am new to motion and have just started using it. But while im working on a project very often it will freeze up and the little mouse color wheel will come up for a few seconds and then start doing everything I was clicking. It does this very often which makes editing time much longer. Is there some settings I should change? My computer is new this year and 4GB ram.
Also when I am playing back my project some spots are glitchy and wont smooth out

hate to give you bad news but I have had the worst time with motion. I also have a new mac pro with 8gb ram however it appears the programs relies almost entirely on the GPU (graphics card) for its processing. You can change the resolution your real time playback to draft but then it looks like crap. I have noticed adding a filter to anything kills my playback since it tries to add the filter in real time. Try not using filters and turn off layers you are not using.

PE7 Memory Issues and Program Freezes Editing AVCHD

I am suffering recurring "low system memory" warnings and program freezes and "bombs" when trying to edit AVCHD video clips captured from my Sony HDR-S11 hard drive camcorder.
I just bought a brand new computer specifically for these editing chores. The system I have is WELL above the minimums specified in the PE7 documentation. I am running Win XP SP3 (clean installation on a 500 GB hard drive), Intel 9400 quad core processor, Asus P5KSE ATX motherboard, 4 GB of RAM, ATI Radeon 3600 video card with 512 MB on-board processing, etc. I have installed only minimal software on the computer, intending to dedicate it primarily to Blu-Ray video processing.
My current project is about 1 hour and 27 minutes long. I have tried editing with both the "hard drive camcorder" and "AVCHD" full-HD presets for the project. While the AVCHD preset produces clearly better results - at least initially - by the time I reach approximately 1 hour into the import of my video clips to the Sceneline, problems begin to occur. They are usually manifested as a warning dialog box informing me that I am running low on system memory and should save my project and proceed with caution. I save what I was doing and then try to "cautiously" continue with the editing. If I click and hold on the taskbar slider to move either forward or backward in the Sceneline, I almost always get a hang-up of the program wherein it will not react to any keyboard or mouse inputs. If I persist, sometimes the program will momentarily revive but further attempts to edit often result in a spontaneous shutdown of the program wherein PE7 abruptly closes and I am taken directly to my desktop.
And during the times that I am able to edit, I have encountered the same kind of glitchy previews of my AVCHD source data that many others have reported on these forums. In scanning those threads, it looks like we are all out of luck on that one until Adobe comes out with an upgraded version of PE7.
I have worked through the Help Section procedures "Troubleshooting system errors and freezes in Premier Elements 7 (Windows XP)" with no improvement. Many of those checks do not apply to me since I basically started with a blank hard drive. I have no old codecs loaded. I have the latest drivers for my motherboard and video card. I don't have any fonts installed that did not come with Windows or PE7. I uninstalled and reinstalled PE7. My virus software (McAfee) is up to date and I performed a total system scan with no findings. Nothing has really helped me to be able to do stable and reliable edits of my source clips.
This is especially frustrating because I used PE4 for more than a year and NEVER had any freezes or bombs when editing HDV clips from my previous Sony HDR-HC1K taped-based HD camcorder. I thought that creating a capable video-dedicated computer would insure that I wouldn't have problems like these with AVCHD. Looks like I was mistaken again.

I couldn't agree more about the basic non-functionality of PE7 when it comes to handling large AVCHD projects, David. We were both taken in by our previous favorable experiences with earlier versions of PE.
My original problem came with a project similar to your own: lots of smalll files (clips) that added up to a large total project. The problems with memory shortfall occur when you pull a large number of clips from the Media window down to the project line. I had no trouble getting my 552 individual clips downloaded from my camcorder to the "Get Media" window. It was only when I dragged them down into my Sceneline that the wheels started to come off. With a great deal of patience and several reboots, I got my 552 clips loaded into my project but got into immediate and deep trouble when trying to edit the raw footage into final form. Apparently PE7 juggles the huge (in my case about 18 GB) file every time you try to do an edit and the manipulation of the big file is what eats up the memory.
As pointed out by earlier posts, AVCHD is efficient as a compression format for the raw video files but is extemely processor and memory-intensive when you try to edit a file with a lot of individual clips.
I certainly didn't know that I was biting off such a big piece of new technology when I bought my new Sony AVCHD camcorder. I don't think the shortcomings of AVCHD are very widely appreciated except by people who have confronted them head-on as you and I have done.
I fear that the solution for these difficulties will be beyond the scope of a patch by Adobe. Both you and I are using what should be a near-state-of-the-art computer with appropriate hardware and we are barely able to work on an AVCHD project. And, yes, converting your project files to MPEG format is a key part of a semi-workable solution.
The multiple project export method that I outlined above is unquestionably "cheesy" as you suggest but some vatiation on it is about the best you are going to do with AVCHD in PE7 for the foreseeable future.

Thanks for the reply.
Anytime I am getting too far ahead, then let me know and we can work together on putting the essentials together for this troubleshooting.
From your screenshot, you have a Windows 7 apparently 64 bit computer, lots of RAM. That computer would be great for Premiere Elements 11 Windows.
But Premiere Elements 8 is only a 32 bit application running in the 32 bit compatibility mode of your 64 bit system. So all that RAM is excessive in a 32 bit system with its limitation of max supported installed RAM being 4 GB (of which 3 GB or less of that are available).
So, the freezing and such could be explained by limited resources depending how much you have in the project when the freezing occurs and what formats are involved - like AVCHD. The burner not being recognized by Premiere Elements is probably another matter.
Let us start here....another place where you could be getting hit on the resource side of things....
1. Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer features in version 8 are notorious for grabbing system resources. If you have them enabled, that could account for much of the program freezing. So, please make sure they are not selected.
a. Background Rendering. In the Premiere Elements 8 workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, and make sure there is no check mark next to Background Rendering option.
b. AutoAnalzyer. In the Premiere Elements workspace, click on the Organizer tab in the row below the selected Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and uncheck all the option under that.
To get back to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace go to File Menu/Exit.
For most of us, Premiere Elements 8 was unusable without the 8.0.1 Update. Did you install that? Have you ever worked successfully with your Premiere Elements 8 on the computer where it is now? And, was that with or without the 8.0.1 Update?
Let us stop here and see how we are doing.
Lots of other factors to get into including the burner recognition one.
Thanks for looking at the troubleshooting comments.

Programs freeze then restart

I have the Quantum system you just did an upgrade to the guides and other things, I have 4 boxes, Some programs freeze for a second then restart a few seconds behind, also when I rewind a live program it stops during the playback and goes back to live program. I hope that makes sense. I rebooted all of the boxes and it still happens

Do you get a black screen for 2 seconds? If you do it is a known issue that is going to be fixed in the next firmware update in the middle of March.

PE freezes on playback - reinstall?

I have installed a dloaded vrsn of PE. When viewing in playback (slideshow w/snd & titles) it freezes during playback preview. Do I need to reinstall PE? How do I do that (including if I need to deactivate and download again).

A few ways to go on this.
What computer operating system is Premiere Elements 11 tryout running on, including 32 or 64 bit?
What are the pixel dimensions of the photos in the slideshow and how many of them are there?
When you are playing back the Timeline content in the Edit Mode monitor are you looking at the rendered or unrendered content.
Explanation...is there an orange line over the Timeline content during the playback? If so,
a. press the Render button
or
b. hit the Enter Key of the computer main keyboard
or
c. go to Timeline Menu/Render Work Area
After this Timeline rendering is completed, what does the playback then look like when there is now a green line over its content and how does it perform?
Is your computer optimized..how much installed and available RAM and free hard drive space?
Did you have your antivirus and firewalls turned off during the download and install of the program?
When you get the freezes during playback preview, what is the duration of that Timeline?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thanks.

HD DVR's Freezes during Playback

I have 2 HD DVR boxes. Lately each box seems to "freeze" during playback of the various programs I have recorded. I am not able to fast forward or rewind the program. If I stop the playback and try to view the program from the beginning, the video again freezes at the same point. It is almost like there is a corrupt file for that area of the program. Is there any way to remedy this situation? It seems to be happening more and more on both set top boxes. Thanks!

I have the same problem on a QIP6416 HD DVR. In the past 2 weeks 3 different recorded programs have frozen during playback and cannot skip or fast forward beyond the frozen point. I can delete the frozen program, but problem has re-occurred several times in the last 3 weeks while other recordings are OK. It does feel like a corrupt file, or bad disk blocks on the DVR, or messed up file structure system that a chkdsk in a Windows environment would fix. Is there are any solution to resolve this problem?

Realtime Playback in Color? HELLLP!

Hello all,
Maybe somenne can point out what I am doing wrong. I have a Quad G5 PPC 2.5 ghz with 8 gigs of RAM and a Quadro FX 4500 card, a 500 meg per second RAID 5 and a Black Magic HD Pro card. I cannot get Color to play any format in real time. 720p 10Bit I barely squeek out 20 fps. I only get 7 fps running 1080p 10bit @ 23.976. Even 10bit NTSC will only get to 25 fps. Am I over looking some obvious setting or config. conflict? Please let me know. I am also getting a weird tearing in my broadcast monitor (Sony BVM-D 20F1U with a BKM-142 HD card) that comes and goes.HELLLLLLP!
Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply! Is there any chance that I will get better performance with an AJA card? I spoke with a friend at the DR Group (a very early adopter of Final Touch) and they supposedly have the exact same machine config. and are getting full realtime play back in 10bit 4:2:2 @1080 29.97 and up to 24 fps in 4:4:4. The only difference is that they are using a Kona 3 card and they are using the last version of Final Touch, not Color. The system that they are running Color on is a Core 8 with an X1900.
I seem to be getting the same performance as I did with the Quadro as I did with a Geforce 7800 card (any thoughts?) I know that Final touch was built around the ATI platform but I can't find any X1900 cards that will work on a non-Intel machine. I was told that the card could be re-programmed through the Unix terminal but that Apple won't release that code to the public. Are you running X1900's on non-Intel machines? If so how does you performance compare? I guess the bottom line is should I take back the Quadro? I works great in Maya but that is about it. It can't even give me hi-fidelity Open GL rendering in After Effects and it takes up 2 slots. And for the price it seems like it should do more. Is Color more optimized for the ATI chipset and if so what is a good solution for my Quad PPC?
Also, any idea what the tearing or segmenting in my broadcast monitor is caused by? It looks as though it is displaying different frames at the same time. Kind of like they are offset i.e. the top half is frame 1 and the bottom is frame 2. This problem seems to come and go and does not appear in the Color preview window.
Ultimately is there any Mac system out there that can provide "real" realtime playback minimum of 1080 10bit 4:2:2 @ 29.97 using Color? I know that there is a correlation between the amount of manipulation and the playback performance, but is there something close? Is that asking too much?
Thanks again for any suggestions you might think of!

my itunes will not open at all. it occasionally will open but when i plug my iphone into it the program freezes and crashes. please help as soon as possible

i think i might have a solution... i have windows vista and after i installed to latest itunes update everytime i tried to open it it would freeze. I tried everything, including uninstalling itunes and all of its components and reinstalled it numerous times. So i went to the itunes folder in my folders, not on itunes, and i deleted my itunes library and playlists. After that it worked just fine, all of my music was deleted but luckily i had my files saved elsewhere.
I hope this helped! I know its frustrating and APPLE/ITUNES NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!

Then you never know what did get changed or not until you wade thru every possible one.
And you cant just redo change the folder name, cuz the folder name did change.
Further, every attempt locks the program.

Image Analysis Threshold won't work in program program freezes

I am a new user to labview and I probably have an error in my code but the only problem is that there are no error messages I get from my code and it runs up to a point at which the program freezes and I can't click any buttons on the Front Panel. Basically everything works up to when I want to choose the Threshold of my image at this stage it creates an image of the values in the threshold buttons but I can't adjust the values anymore to find out the best values.
I should say that I have tried my Threshold code on its own and it seems to work fine so I am really confused as to what is getting muddled up!
Any help on what might be wrong would be helpful. I have added the VI and an image that I am analyzing.
The process currently goes as follows, you load the image, then choose a colour plane (usually green) that gets extracted. Then you draw a line on the border of the object and it rotates the image to make it straight and then you choose a ROI and it cuts the main object out. Finally at the point when you should be choosing a Threshold it hangs.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
The root of your problem is in how you have used multiple event structures. Typically, a program should just have one event structure, which handles all events during the program. The vision functions were all working correctly!
From looking at what you are trying to do, I think it would be worth using a well known architecture called the state machine with events. I'll attach some code framework to show you what it might look like for you, you can adapt it to suit your program. I hope its enough for you to get an idea of what I'm trying to show you, it doesn't have any code in it yet, but I think it gets the idea across, and if you combine it with the link below on state machines, it may help you to set out your code in a better architecture.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store you can find it in your Purchases List.

Please help! programs freeze!

My programs seem to freeze everytime I try to change the color of anything font/background/whatever it maybe. As soon as the color option window pops up for me to choose the color i want, then the program freezes and i have to force quit it. Im not very good with computers, if anyone has any advice that would be greatly appreciate! thanks so much -

chaie31,
Is this just in one application or several? If just one a first shot might be to trash the application's Preferences file and/or give the application more memory.
More information would be helpful. Which application(s)? Are you running in OS9 or Classic within OSX?
