Program freezes when adding text to clip

Hi,
I have sent a 40 minute slideshow to PE7. I am splitting the slide show at various points and inserting short video clips. After having added text to both photos and video two or three times, I now find that the program freezes when I either try to add further text or even if I try to edit previously inserted text.
Has anyone a solution to this please?
Thanks
Jim
P.S. the reason I am adding video to the slide show and not the other way around is that I like the pan and zoom facility of the slide show which is not available as a transition in PE7.
Apparently I cannot add video clips to slide shows in PSE 7 - or at least not more than 5 seconds of video at a time.

Hi, Thanks for you reply.
The photos are between 1 to 3 MB each if thats any help, My Sony Handycam was set to 16:9 format but I can't select this in Project preferences which seems fixed at 4:3. The point is that I have used photos of this size in a project containing both photos and video previously without problems. I have not tried to splice video footage into an imported slide show before.
I will investigate further later.
Thanks again
Jim

PSE freezes when adding text - help

I have a MAC and have installed PSE 11 successfully. I'm working on a birthday project and everytime I try to add text, the whole thing freezes. I force shut down as it's the only thing to get me out of it, and reboot, and it does it again, and again and again. Please help. Thanks.

Actually, before doing all that, let's check PSE itself. Go to the editor preferences>general, click this button, and restart the editor:

In "Previews" when adding text to a picture I can't change the font, even though a few days ago I could. How do I fix this?

Use Software Update to update your os to 10.6.8 and anything else that needs to be updated. After the installations go to /Library/Preferences - trash the com.apple.Preview.plist file. Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash. Your Preview issue should now be resolved.

Windows CS3 Programs Freeze When Opening Files

Windows CS3, all programs freeze when trying to open files by going through the file menu.
Able to open files when navigating with windows explorer then right clicking on file and choosing "open with"
Windows XP Professional SP3, 4 Gb Ram Quad Core Processor.
Have uninstalled and reinstalled CS3 (Design Premium)
Have deleted photoshop settings file and tried using photoshop.
Any time I try to open a new file or existing file by going through the file menu the program freezes and must be terminated using the task manager.

Erika,
I wish you had posted that last night. LOL I'm glad it worked for you and I will tell anyone who has this problem to try that before they try my fix. I was starting to have other problems like inDesign corrupting images.
Here's how I fixed it,
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING TO RISK HAVING TO REFORMAT YOUR PC.
1. Backup entire pc
2. Deactivate Creative Suite 3 (or whatever application you are having a problem with)
3. Uninstall problem application or suite, then uninstall everything by adobe.
4. Search PC for all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
5. Delete all folders and files with "adobe", no quotes, in the name.
6. Restart PC
7. Run ccleaner and also run the registry fix.
8. Restart PC.
9. Backup registry.
10. Scan registry for "adobe", no quotes. Delete every instance of "adobe", no quotes making sure the reference is truly "adobe" and not something else.
11. Restart PC.
12. Install adobe suite or application.
13. Install any other adobe application you may need.
Worked for me, but

HT203793 Playlists freezing when adding music to them now, how to unfreeze?

Playlists freezing when adding music to them now, how to unfreeze? I'm not using Match.

Try closing the Music app completely and then reset your iPad. You will not lose any data.
In order to close the Muisc app, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Acrobat XI Crashes when adding text

I scan documents into Acrobat for various purposes. On many of them, I add a text box, i.e., type of record, volume and page. On other scans, I have to add a text box to every page. When I do have to add a text box on every page, I have learned to save the document after I add each text box, because when I begin to add the next text box, the program consistently crashes with no explanation of what is causing it to crash. Consequently, it normally takes me at least 10 minutes to complete a task which only should take 3 minutes at best. I have searched for solutions to this problem and attempted the various recommendations, to no avail.
It has reached the point where I seriously am considering finding another program to edit these files.
I am running Windows 8.1 with all updates and my Acrobat XI is the stand alone version. I do not subscribe to any cloud services.
Thank you for any suggestions and assistance.

I'm having a similar issue. Every third or fourth time I save after adding text Acrobat crashes with no meaningful reason (at least none in the crash message)...even though the added text is saved. I'm working through trying different text settings to see if there is a problem there. I'll post what I find.

Photoshop CS4 "Program Error" when using Text tool

Hello. I was having problems with Photoshop displaying a "Program Error" every so often, so I deleted the preference file and all seemed good. But after deleting the preference file for my Photoshop CS4 and re-launching Photoshop, the text tool causes Photoshop to display a Program Error when using the tool. It never did this before. Should I reinstall Photoshop? I am using a Powermac G5 running 10.5.8. I have already tried repairing the disk permissions.
Thanks

Thats kinda what I thought too, but the problem started happening randomly. It started when we were trying to use photomerge with large photos. The program just started giving the program errors. I still think it may be a font problem, but without going through my 2000+ fonts and disabling them one by one, how can I resolve this issue?
Thanks

Acrobat freezes when adding a signature field

We are currently using Acrobat 9.5.5 (updated on 12th June 2013) on a windows 7 (64-bit) machine, when adding a signature field to a PDF that has been created using the AdobePDF printer (from a file created in AutoCAD 2013) Acrobat freezes and starts to use excessive amounts of RAM (peaking at around 1.9GB), and eventually either crashes or after about 30 seconds adds the field.
We've tried to use Acrobat XI (trial version), but this seems to make the problem worse (using over 3.5GB of RAM) and taking in excess of a minute to eventually add the field.
The problem seems to be limited to certain files, 2 in particular are causing the problem, both of which are around 5MB in size, when we add a signature to other smaller files the problem isn't as crippling, the "freeze" only stays for a couple of seconds and the field is usually added.

When adding text in XI Pro, some characters appear and some don't. A space is substituted for the characters that don't print. How do I fix this?

When using Adobe XI Pro and adding text, some numbers are not displayed. In their place, a blank appears. At first I thought it was a weak keyboard battery, but the same data appears fine in Word. I've never seen this happen before. Does anyone have any suggestions? (Windows 7 Pro)
Thank you!

I don’t know the font. (One of our other employees had experienced the problem.) We did discover that if we saved the document and then reopened it, the text was all there.
You may close this issue.
Thank you!

Pointer when adding audio to clip

When adding audio/music to a clip (not background) it sits below the clip with a small arrow/pointer pointing to the clip. What does that pointer indicate? Why does it move? Can someone point me to resourcs that explain that in detail?
Thanks

I think you are right that the marker "stays". I don't have any special insight to how this was coded by Apple, but it appears to me that you initially attach the audio to a certain frame in a certain clip. Later you can drag the audio forward or backward, and it may remain attached to the initial frame, but be given an offset. For example, the audio is attached to frame five of clip three, but the audio actually begins at -30 or 30 frames to the left of the anchor frame.
I think if you experimented with it, you might find that if you delete the clip with the anchor frame, the audio is deleted, too, but I don't have time to test this right now.
