RAM & CS6

Hi, I'll be getting a new PC shortly and I wonder how much RAM to install. It'll have Intel Core i7-3930K 3.2GHz 6-core and a Intel 520 SSD 249 GB (and two 3TB HDs as well).
Usage mostly PS, LL and C1, relatively big files.

I have ordered an Intel 240 GB SSD as C disc. Are you suggesting an other and better choice?
Btw. I've been thinking to allocate some 30-40 GB on this SSD as scratchdisc for CS6. Any thoughts?
I didn't realize you'd already ordered it.  I was suggesting the OCZ brand just because they make good hardware IMO.  Is your drive based on the Sandforce controller internally?
Windows loves to grow.  I've been running my Windows 7 workstation with a 2 TB C: drive since the first of 2010, and the contents of my C: drive have grown to 586 GB.  While some 200 GB of that is probably almost trivial to move to another drive, that still means that when a big Windows 7 system is allowed to install things where it wants to (generally, programs expect to be installed on C:), it can grow to fill half a terabyte.
Given that observation, and that SSDs like to run best with a fair bit of free space, not long ago I built a RAID0 array of 4 x 480 GB SSD drives, so that more than 50% of the space is free.  These replaced an array of fast spinning drives, and so far it's been a major upgrade in responsiveness - and it's working reliably.
You might want to consider adding a second drive in RAID0 arrangement so that you're not fighting for free space, and you can feel comfortable about using the SSD for TEMP and scratch storage.  Doing that makes sense, since SSDs are so amazingly fast.
Like Trevor, I'd suggest against partitioning your SSD.  Might as well keep all the free space in one pool.

  • When trying to save photos get error (memory RAM, CS6)

    You have the bare minimum RAM for the program to launch.  Running it well is a different matter.
    You don't have nearly enough available drive space on that C drive to accomodate both the swap files of the OS and a Photoshop scratch disk.  Your D drive is woefully short on space too.
    My system is bare bones minimal and I have a dedicated 250 GB hard drive as my primary Photoshop scratch drive.
    The error message you are getting means exactly what it says.

  • Extremely slow rendering. i5, 6gb RAM, CS6 PRO

    Hi guys!
    So I got really tired of insanely long render times. I usually use 1-2 video tracks, no keying, no special effects, commonly use Warp Stabilizer, Cineon Converter and PRO Camp, of course some colour correction (usually RGB curves, but sometimes a three way). Usually it ends up being about 3-4 tracks. On last project it took 2 hours to render a two minute video. Below i'll post info on that.
    And today its taking about 12 hours to render a 40 minute video.( I am frustrated and sad of this(
    My usual composition layout:
    Titles
    adjustment layer
    video 2 (rare)
    video 1
    sound one
    sound two
    sound three (rarely)
    My laptop^
    i5 2n gen 2.5-3.2Ghz dual core (4 logical cores)javascript:;
    6GB Ram 1333 MHz
    GT 525M 1GB (i've enabled CUDA GPU acceleration. works like a charm on all 96 little silicon cylinders.)
    540rpm 640 GB, practically empty (Partition D)
    Use Canon for video recording, so it is UP TO fullHD .mov files. Usually FHD @ 70-100MB/s (canon's standart) Screenshots were taken at the moment of rendering (70% through)
    My export settings are:
    .h264
    FullHD
    29.97FPS/30FPS
    VBR Pass 2
    Target bit rate 8-10 mbs
    max - 15-20
    "Use Max rendering quality + use max bit depth"
    Can someone point out my idiocity? Please let me know what shoud I do to avoid this.
    PS, 8 core MacPro or an 8 core i7 extreeme, are neither an option here(... just sain'
    English is not my native, so sorry for mistakes.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks mate!
    I kinda knew all of what you said, but i guess now i am more sure of suckingness of my machine... funny thing is, load goes up to 90% maybe three times during a render and it stays loaded for a short periodof time... i loogged one of my renders back when i had Win7 x64 (ultimate) (same machine) and it showed that neither of devices were loaded more than 90%
    it was something like this:
    CPU <92%
    GPU <95% (exception)
    disk <30%
    memory <50-65%
    I know that with VBR 2 there are 2 passes, thus twice as long in render... but god damn, almost 2 hours for a 2 minute video??? its awful. and all of those procesess take up less than 7% for all of them. Finally, since i got only 6 GB of physical memory, my adobe is able to only use 4gb. so there is nothing bad.. I've never had any issues with such low RAM. If i had an i7, then yes, i'd need about 12-16 gb to get the most, even though, its the, SATA to Hard drive that bottlenecks the stuff. I wish I could get an SSD, but they are hellishly expensive. i got my drive thru sata3, but still, the drive is kinda sad and broken (old) so this is why i must be getting such low speeds... even when i copy info using USB3<-->USB3 device, the speed never goes over 20MBs for downloading and 5MB to uploading to a USB device.
    PS... sucks to wotk an a low end machine.

  • CS6 CS5  "operation can not complete because there isn't enough memory (RAM) available"

    Hi,
    I told the client (rather foolishly it seems) that I could open a DXF in Illustrator CS6.  I get the message shown even though I have 8g of ram
    any ideas??
    It refuses to open in cs5 as well
    file is 4.2mb
    thanks
    G
    iMac 27" 2.88 i5
    OSX 10.6.8
    8g ram
    CS6
    CS5

    A .dxf of 4.2Mb seems large, must be something else in there than a die line. Did they send you a .pdf with this so you know what this looks like. Also if they did not put dimensions on there that can be a hassle as often you have to try every unit you figure out what units the operator was wiring in.
    If you can post the file (hightail has a free trial), I have 32gb and can try this for you.

  • CS6: Encoding files make my Mac Crash

    Hello
    does anyone has the same problem then me ?
    When I start a queue after a while, my Mac Book Pro crashes. (this means that I can't do anything then hold the start button and restart the Mac)
    Lion 10.7.3, 16G ram, CS6
    I have a queue with 5 differents preset for the same sequence.
    Greetings,
    Philippe

    Do you have this issue if you only encode to one preset at a time?  When you encode to 5 presets, does it encode to all 5 presets during the same time in parellel? if it does, you might want to try disabling "Parellel Encoding" and see if you still have this issue.Go to Preferences and select the General Tab. There should be an option called "Parellel Encoding" with a check box in front of it. Uncheck it, restart AME and try again.

  • How to output back to Prem pro

    Help, I am new to SG and can't seem to get an output file that works. Not helped by the fact I have  not got my head  round the pro/cons of different file formats. (hey I only got this prog about a week ago ..) I have benn asked by a client to produce a 30 sec advert, which he then wants to put on an Android tablet and give to customers.
    I have created the advert, edited it in PP and output it to SG where I have made all the colour corrections. V happy so far, but when it comes to output, I seem to end up with a huge dpx file (30secs =7GB) and this file wont re open in Prem pro. i get the error message:" this file has no video/audio streams." Can anyone suggest where i am going wrong, or is it possible to output a file  from SG that will play on an Android tablet directly? : seems to be very little on web about this. FYI my client flies to brazil in 4 days , so pressure here is mounting ! Thanks in advance,
    simon

    Hi Dennis, 
    Still got a problem. I have imported my vid into SG and it plays OK (with sound). I add my vignette etc, and go to SG output.
    When i render using the preset panel : AVI> full frame(uncompressed> frame rate 24. I get an output file of 4G  size , which looks good but has no audio.
    When i output using preset panel: Quicktime > animation> uncompressed>  I get an output file that looks awful: colours washed out, low contrast etc. but does have audio.
    Other presets I tried were:
    Quicktime >png 25fps, gives choppy playback and takes ages to render out.
    and Quicktime >H.264, 2 passes, gives ok image but no audio
    and Native MOV> (apple uncompressed) gives ok image but no audio.
    Finally tried a Quicktime> MPEG4 video> 25FPS setting and that DOES give sound, but the picture is all washed out again!!!
    Really getting frustrated here; can you give me a clue as to why these .mov files  wont play with sound?
    Fast machine, 16 g Ram, CS6, windows 7.
    Thanks
    Simon
    FYI if i create a MPeg 4 file from Prem Pro, it plays fine and looks ok, just doesnt have the vignette that i need.

  • So... Mountain Lion

    Working with a test partition and Pr for a couple of days now.  So far...  Pr has been solid, and I've experienced no Serious Errors!  Yay!
    Otherwise...  Ae crashes too much, a few Ae plugs lost authorizations, and I get quite a few spinning beach balls that don't end in crashes, just delays. 
    Several other non-Adobe apps lost their authorization.  Some were easy to re-authorize, and I'm still working on some others.  Mountain Lion overall seems faster on some things, slower on others.
    I wish Apple would perfect an OS before they move on to an "upgrade."  Most of the new ML synching functions are lost on me, as I'm not an Apple customer, outside of the MacPro and MBP.
    But, my limited experience so far is that Pr is GREATLY improved in terms of overall snappiness and stability, at this early point in my testing on a real job.
    I did have one Ae linked Comp that wouldn't link.  That's a bad thing.
    I've only run a few other Adobe apps on ML, and I can say is that Ai didn't crash while I was using it.  But, Ps won't open my important DVD label template and several other mostly recent PSD files ("Strtable error"  What?).  I still have PS5.5 installed, so at least I'm not out of business.  But, I have serious concerns about Ps and ML at this point.  Something's rotten.
    Overall, ML seems to exhibit typical Apple dot-oh OS problems.  Usually, x.4 is when they start to look dependable.  This version will likely be no exception, based on past performance... but, I'd like to be wrong.
    Since this is the Pr forum, the bottom line is that this OS seems, in my short experience, a worthwhile upgrade for Pr.
    What remains to be seen, for me at this point, is whether the cons outweigh the pros.  My plan is to stay booted into ML this week, and see what else I can break.
    If you'd care to share your experiences, I will read them.

    Poor playback from timeline....after a while - Cs6
    Jul 23, 2012 6:52 AM
    Hei
    I have an updated version of Premier cs6 on my new MacbookPro 17", meaning I use the Mercury GPU option.
    Mac: OS10.7.4 2.4GHz Intel Core i7 8GB RAM
    When I start playing footage on the timeline for the first time everything plays without droped frames.
    The indicator is green.
    But as soon as I start doing anything on the timeline: cuts,disolves,effects etc. playback gets poorer an poorer, and the indicator turns yellow.
    This also effects playback of the media which is untouched.
    I have tried with diferent kinds of media, from standard DV to AVCHD 720p and 1080p and DVCPROHD 1080 i
    When I save the project, shut down PP6 and open the project again the playback is perfect - until I start doing something on the timeline,
    then it starts slowing down again. I have used both the internal and an external harddrive: exactly the same reult.
    Can anybody help me ?
    Regards
    Bjorn
    a lot of answers, but none of them solved the problem, then :
    Problem solved :
    I installed OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and after that PP6 runs perfect. I have loaded tons of effects and adjustments on my timeline and it plays at full resolution exept for some of the most demanding effects, but as soon as it passes these parts it plays normal again, full resolution without dropping frames.
    Hope this was of interesse

  • Mystery folder size of over 400GB

    Whilst cleaning up my boot drive i found the User account/Library folder size is over 400GB, but when I go to check which folder has the most data i find the biggest folder (out of approx 20) only holds 11GB all the rest are tiny. So how come the Libray folder is stating 410GB ?
    Appreciate any help as to where these mystery files are and how to simply reduce the size of the library folder.
    Can I also state I am no techy so please keep it simple.

    Do you have your boot drive allowed as the default primary volume for scratch?
    Use a dedicated scratch drive and erase the drive between projects and have it be primary - no matter how much RAM CS6 at least is still using disk scratch.
    As for your user account folder on the boot drive, another thing you can do - though maybe not always for the ~/Library - is to separate user account to a 2nd disk drsive to help performance and to manage the system boot drive as well. After doing that makes it easier to move the system to an SSD and enjoy its performance - new Samsung 840s even on SATA II.
    Booting from PCIe 6G is another option with Sonnet Tempo Pro PCIe SSD device, and use a 2nd for your scratch SSD volume too.
    With those changes you will see a marked improvement in processing and smooth as silk (or butter) fluid operations.
    Premiere you do not want using the boot drive or home account for cache for primary scratch in any event.

  • Pantone Search Bar

    I do a lot of work with the pantone search bar and I am wondering if there is a way for it to NOT add a 4th digit automatically to almost every query I enter. For example, if I am looking for PMS 478, and type in "478" the result i get is PANTONE 7478... if i type in "563", I get "PANTONE 2563". This is not a huge deal normally, but honestly is REDICULOUSLY annoying. If I was looking for 7478, that's what I would type.... Instead I have to type in the entire word to get the right result. I know, I know, not that bad, but I do about 50+ searches a day for PMS colors and this is getting ridiculous. I can't find any settings that would change this or understand why this would be a feature at all.
    Win7, 12gigs Ram, CS6.

    It has something to do with computer logic which they have not found a way to over come as of yet it was explained but unless you understand that stuff it is pretty meaningless.
    So you have to wait till they come up with an answer or method of changing this.

  • Photoshop cs6 error "Could not complete command because there is not enough memory (RAM)"

    Hi, I have a Macbook Pro and the Adobe Creative Suite 6, and all of my other adobe programs run smoothy with the exception of photoshop. For about the past year and a half now, I will very inconsistency receive the error message, "Could not complete ___ command because there is not enough memory (RAM)."  Sometimes this problem gets so bad that I am not even able to open my preferences.
    My computer seems as though it should have plenty of space to run photoshop, and I have taken my computer to a number of differed tech supports, but they have only been able to temporarily make the problem less severe for short periods until it acts up again and completely prevents me from using Photoshop. I recently updated to Yosemite and deinstalled/reinstalled photoshop, hoping that would fix things, but I still get the message almost any time I try to complete a command.
    Your help would be very much appreciated, thank you!

    3.5Mhz?  Do they even make processors that slow?
    I'm trying to think back through Photoshop versions, but IIRC it became hungry for RAM with CS5, but it might even have been CS4.  But certainly from CS5 onwards a 32 bit system was going to be severely compromised with its 3.5Gb RAM limit, of which Photoshop could access only a bit over 2Gb.  You might remember the 4Gb switch that let you use a bit more of your 4Gb of installed RAM.  That worked OK with XP but was still flakey, and third party plugins used to fall over all the time through lack of RAM — at least Photoshop has a Scratch drive.
    So nowadays you can forget trying to use Photoshop on 32bit hardware.  You need 64 bit and at least 8Gb RAM.  So like I said, the OP needs to look deeper into the 'apparent' over heating issue, and put that other 4Gb back in.  I can't even conceive of why a person would cripple their system by removing RAM. _Especially_ when it leaves just 4Gb

  • After Effects CS6 error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback - any ideas please?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm running After Effects CS6 (11.0.4.2) on a MacBook Pro 2.8Ghz with 16GB RAM (Mac OS 10.9.4)
    As a test, I created a 3 and a half minute Sequence in Adobe Premiere CS6, and then imported this into After Effects CS6, and placed it on the AE timeline.
    This footage involves a couple of 1920x1080p footage movies, some psds and a large number of JPGs exported from two videos arranged as a sequence in two layers in Premiere, one on top of the other. So all in all for a Premiere / After Effects file I'd say it's reasonably heavy.
    I then did a RAM Preview with Multiprocessing switched off - the 3 and a half minute sequence loaded into RAM, taking about 1min 30seconds, and played back in realtime at 25fps. This worked fine with 3,4,5 and 6 GB RAM available to other applications in the Memory Preferences. All things considered I think this is quite good. I can make changes, reclick the RAM Preview icon and my changes load into RAM and it previews ok.
    My only 'complaint' is how long the RAM Preview takes to load up the whole thing.
    I've been reading up on Multiprocessing and decided to try this to see if I can speed up the time it takes my RAM Preview to load up.
    So I looked at some recommendations from Adobe and read information on various forums including this one.
    My settings in the Memory Preferences are currently
    • 6GB reserved for other applications
    • Reduce cache size when system is low on memory - unticked
    • After Effects Multiprocessing - ticked
    • Installed CPUs (processor cores) - 8
    • CPUs reserved for other applications - 6
    • RAM allocation per background CPU - 3GB
    • Actual CPUs that will be used - 2
    This combination takes about 25 seconds to load up my 3 and a half minute sequence which I thought was pretty amazing.
    I then pressed the stop button and then the play button - so now just playing the sequence briefly.
    And also added a new layer - into the timeline - just a simple shape.
    Then I tried a RAM Preview again.
    I found I could load up part of the sequence but not load the whole thing into RAM.
    I kept trying to get a RAM Preview and got this message
    "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" which seems to prevent RAM Preview from working.
    Eventually I quit and restarted After Effects and the problem went away temporarily and then came back when I tried again.
    I tried various changes to the Memory Preferences - trying 3GB available for other applications. This gave 13GB of my 16GB RAM to After Effects.
    This made it take slightly longer for the After Effects error to appear but it still appeared.
    I tried ticking Reduce Cache size in the Memory Prefs  - the After Effects error still appeared, so having read this is supposed to make the issue better I now leave it untucked, but as far as I can see ticked or untucked, it makes no difference, the problem remains.
    I've since tried -
    Making 2,3,4,5 and 6 CPUs available for other applications.
    Changing the Background RAM allocation per background CPU to 0.75GB, 1GB, 1.5GB, 2GB and 3GB
    Lots of combinations.
    But in the end, I always get the "After Effects error: RAM Preview needs 2 or more frames to playback" error.
    It might take less or more time for the message to show up, depending on the combination of settings, but in the end I always got the same message appearing.
    And I notice that I can RAM Preview less and less of the timeline. i.e. it becomes more blue than it does green and will load in only a small section of the timeline as opposed to the whole thing.
    Reading further, I tried Edit > Purge > Image Cache and Edit > Purge > All Memory but still get the error message.
    I also tried ensuring there were no other applications running e.g. Safari or Chrome or Firefox. And certainly not Photoshop or Premiere etc.
    Reading even further, I tried two Memory management applications - 'Memory Clean' and 'Purge.'
    Neither has had any effect - the After Effects error still appears.
    Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
    I unticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously. And now the RAM Preview loads the whole 3 and half minute sequence in entirety, taking about 1 and half minutes to do so. It's working as perfectly as if I'd just quit and re-opened the application.
    Then I went back into the Memory and Multiprocessing Preferences.
    I reticked Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously.
    The chose Edit > Purge > All
    And tried a RAM Preview again. It loaded up in 25 seconds, but then, as previously, the error message came.
    I tried Edit > Purge All - no effect.
    And I tried going into the Media and Disk Cache Preferences and clicked Empty Disk Cache - still the problem remains.
    I understand from my reading that After Effects CS6 11.0.2 was intended to fix this issue but I'm on 11.0.4 and as far as I can tell, I still have it - assuming it's the same thing.
    As far as I can see, not using Multiprocessing allows me to work without these errors but take a bit longer to load the RAM Preview.
    However I'd like to be able to use Multiprocessing as it seems it can potentially speeds things up quite a lot. I realise I could just not use it and AE would work, but I'd rather be able to make use of a feature of the software if possible, especially if it will speed things up and make optimum use of the my computer's hardware.
    I've downloaded a trial copy of After Effects CC 2014. I'm still testing it but as far as I can see the RAM Preview error appears in this version of AE as well, but can take bit longer to show up in my experience.
    Thanks everyone - if anyone has any thoughts or advice I'd appreciate hearing your opinions.
    Kind regards,
    John

    You need to have much more RAM reserved for other applications and more CPUs reserved for other applications. Your current settings are crippling your performance.
    Read these:

    After you have adjusted your settings according to the recommendations on those pages, restart your computer and try again.

    Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing. I am using a brand new IMAC, I have 16GB RAM recently updated as it was running slow with 8GB and lots of hardrive space. When it crashes, i lose all my presents and it changes my preferences, it also fails to save or produce a recovered file despite settings asking it to do so every 5 mins now. When i try to report the problem, it says it has found an issue and gives me a link to a solution....but wont let me click on the link.... PLEASE HELP! It's killing my productivity.

    If the crash started right after you added RAM, it could be a bad Ram dimm. You can try this - change the amount of RAM in Photoshop to 4G, this should stop Photoshop from using the higher ram. If it doesn't crash, it's probably the ram. Or run a diagnostic app. You don't say when it crashes, what you're doing when it crashes - it there a pattern? Did it ever work on this computer? Did it work on your previous computer? Without a lot of data, it could be related to the new computer... What OS version? Did you recently update it? Have you updated Photoshop to the most recent update?
    Do you have any plug-ins loaded? Try restarting Photoshop, and immediately press & hold the shfit key to turn off plug-ins.

  • No real time RAM preview with Pr CS6.0.1 Open, Real time RAM preview with Pr Closed

    When Premiere is closed I see real time performance on RAM previews (29.97fps), smooth UI interaction with and without Fast Draft enabled.  When Premiere is opened I get poor fps in RAM previews, lagging UI interaction unless Fast Draft is enabled.  Premiere Memory preferences are set to 6GB reserved for other apps, and Optimized rendering is for Memory.  It seams that as soon as Pr takes on any processing AE's performance just dies until Pr is closed. 
    I've tried clearing caches in AE and in Premiere, restarts, and repair disk permissions,
    Included is a realtime screen capture of what i'm experiencing, I open and close premiere twice to illustrate that it's not an isolated occurrence.
    any ideas?

  • Not enough Ram memory and cannot save due to a program error in photoshop cs6

    Hi, I'm currently a beginner at photoshop cs6, and I've been using it since december last year, mostly to draw stuff and it has worked fine with few to no errors at all.
    However, recently when I've been drawing, the same message keeps popping up over and over again "Can't use (tool) due to the computer not having enough ram" followed by either "cannot save due to program error" or, it just simply crashes.
    This is obviously a something that worries me A LOT since at first, I thought that it was just a small error, but recently, it's been like this for several day s and I've been forced to re-start the computer (and photoshop) countless times... It really slows down my working progress and is VERY annoying to deal with.
    As a beginner though, I don't really know how to fix this. I've been trying to look up some answers on this site, but I've just not found any answer yet...
    I'm currently using photoshop cs6 that's up to date and I've got lots of memory left on my computer, so, I'm wondering. What exactly is the cause of this problem, and how can I fix it? Please answer as fast as you can.. I'm getting a bit desperate...
    Oh, in case you're wondering, they're all saved as PSD files and every single one of them has about 15+ layers on them.

    It would help if you could list a few things:

  • Photoshop CS6 very sluggish after assigned RAM is used up

    Hello community,
    during the evaluation of my PS CS6 trial I encountered the following problem. Painting on a layer mask is very, very sluggish once Photoshop CS6 has used up all RAM that has been assigned to it.
    When I am in 100% view and <shift><click> about 10 times in quick succession it takes almost a minute for photoshop to catch up, often the last clicks get lost and the next click draws a line without using <shift>.
    I tried without appreciable improvement:
    - Different brushes (hard, soft, down to 10px)
    - Disable graphics processor
    - Disable layer icons
    The problem seems to be related to virtual memory handling. Does PS CS6 use virtual memory buffering? The Activity Monitor shows still free memory.
    In comparison and on the same system, Photoshop CS4 with default VM Buffering remains quite responsive although the RAM usage of PS CS4 (active + inactive) is much lower than in CS6.
    What can I do to fix the problem? This issue prevents me from upgrading to CS6.
    Thanks
    Thomas

    I did a lot of additional testing and made the following observation:
    It happens only when painting on the layer mask, not on the layer itself. After some brush strokes in the swapping state (see above) the program reproducibly behaves like this when trying to make another stroke:
    I make a stroke with the mouse
    Some seconds later the initial point appears, there is some disk write activity
    Then Photoshop's CPU utilization rises to 100% with zero disk activity - it stays there until ...
    I click somewhere in the image and immediately a linear stroke from the initial point to the click position is drawn. This final click even works when Photoshop does not currently have the application focus - application switching to Photoshop via the dock icon does not visibly work anyway in this state.
    I can repeat that sequence. If I wait long enough it somehow gets cured, but then it only takes another ~10 strokes to get the strange behaviour back.
