Resizing frames issue in CS5

When I resize an image or text frame by dragging a corner or side, there is a delay or a slowness where my mouse moves and the frame edge takes a while to catch up. Very annoying. CS4 worked great. Crisp and "on time" as it were. Anyone know if there's a setting that needs to be changed or maybe add more RAM? I've got 4 GB of RAM at present.

Setting LSD to dealyed gives you the same behavior as CS4 where waiting a moment before dragging will show the object as it moves, but doesn't tax the system quite as badly. I suspect this is more a video RAM deficiency than a general resources problem, by the way.

  • Dropped frames issue on a G5 2.7DP w/DV footage

    Let me first tell you my setup:
    G5 2.7 DP
    8 GB RAM
    WiebeTech TrayDock eSATA 4-bay drive enclosure w/Sonnet 4+4 eSATA PCI Card
    (2) 400 GB Seagate Barracudas in the enclosure RAIDed in a striped config using Apple's Disk Utility
    10.4
    FCP 5
    At seemingly random times, playback from the timeline will stutter and stop, thus throwing up the dropped frames dialog box. If I re-play from the same point, it will normally play. This has happened on several current projects in which I'm working in DV. I've also worked on a project in 8bit uncompressed using my Kona LS card with the same drives, and had the same error.
    I've had this issue ever since I setup this system--from the first install of FCP5 to the most recent update of 5.0.3, as well as from 10.4.2 to 10.4.3. I've tried turning off the internal Airport card in the G5, and quitting all other programs.
    There is a little utility that came with the Kona card to test data rate of your drives. I'm getting well over 100 MB/s Read, and slightly less write rates, so it seems like drive speed isn't an issue.
    What is the weak link here? WiebeTech was nice enough to send me a replacement eSATA PCI card, and the issue hasn't gone away, so it wasn't a bad card, although I guess there could be some flaw inherent in all of the cards.
    What other steps should I take to try and isolate/solve this problem? This is kind of embarrasing that I can't play DV footage on the timeline without the possibility of dropping frames--even when working with only one layer of video.
    I'm capturing video to the eSATA RAID, and my project files/graphics reside on an internal SATA drive in G5 (not the boot drive--I added another seagate 250 gb). Seems like there should be enough throughput in this thing to handle basic edits, but I'm beginning to have my doubts....
    Your ideas?????

    Clay,
    Regarding your statement "My thinking initially about my workflow was to not keep them on the same drive as the footage because my feeling is that the RAID isn't as "safe" as the single 250 GB drive I have inside the G5".
    I store all of my media, GFX and project files on whatever FW drive I happen to be using for a project. I NEVER have media for a specific project on two or more drives. For safety's sake, I ALWAYS have my Autosave Vault set to my internal drive, with a relatively high save rate (every 10 min). That way if the FW drive ever failed completely, I'd at least have a recent copy of the project file to work with (even if I have to redigitize the footage or redo the GFX). All I can say is keep all of your media (per project) on one drive - it's been kind of the Bible in this industry for years, and as far as I know it hasn't changed.
    As far as RAID's go, I'm no expert. But if I remember correctly, back in my old Avid days we also used to avoid having the media on different striped partitions - something else you may want to try if you're media is spread across a few stripes.
    It seems like I've run across more than a few posts here regarding the same problem happening on Dual 2.7's. You may want to do a more thorough search here to see what you come up with. All I can say is I'm running FCP 5.0.3 on a G5 Dual 2.0 with only 2.5 meg of RAM and have had no dropped frame issues.
    Try Matt's suggestion of playing some footage off of your boot drive (NOT recommended for everyday use!). If it works then it's got to be a problem with your RAID and not FCP.
    Good Luck!

  • How to overcome "dropped frame" issues on my project

    Hey reader,
    I have a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz with 250GB hd (85GB free just now) running 10.4.11, FCE HD 3.5 (and QT 7.5.5) and using a Sony Handycam DCR-HC96 (which is works BEAUTIFULLY with iMovie 08 and 6 and is always used with Sony tapes) and I am not able to "capture" the tape content to my MacBook Pro because of the "dropped frame" issue.
    The camera is connected to the external hard drive chain via Firewire cable to the MacBook Pro and I was trying to capture to the internal hard drive. I am in the UK and am still struggling to get my head around the different frame rates but initially I got the dreaded "dropped frames were encountered during the last capture attempt" and it just wouldn't work, so I unselected the report dropped frames tab and abort capture in User Preferences as was suggested on here.
    Now I get "Capture encountered a problem reading data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and your clip has been saved" but the tape is fine (heads are also clean) as I had to (under time pressure, me) use iMovieHD 6 instead and it worked like a CHARM.
    What can I do to use this software?
    I KNOW I can import the iMovie footage but the disadvantage is the eternal rendering, I guess. I only ever used it once (because of its difficulties) and that was for pre-existing footage from iMovie and it was OK if not perfect. Just had to have a few hours extra for the constant rendering in preview...
    Should I try to capture to one of the external hard drives? I read that the internal might be a problem as it is busy with the operating system jobs.
    Please and thank you.

    I got some dropped frames last night and posted this before noticing your post:
    There can be a number of reasons for getting dropped frames during capture.
    Yesterday I videoed a relative's wedding (in HDV) and on getting home late I captured the footage into FCP 6.0.3 only to find in a couple of places I got an abort on dropped frames.
    This morning I decided to recapture and did so without a single dropped frame.
    Why ? ......... there are several possibilities.
    It could be that there was some physical problem with the tape or camera heads but I believe it was most likely caused by my camera's power supply.
    Last night I used the battery whilst this morning I plugged in the power connector.
    I feel that this provided a more constant supply of full power and helped prevent frames from being dropped. (The fact I was using FCP is immaterial as the dropped frames would almost certainly have also occurred in FCE).
    From now on I will always use the power connector during transfer to and from the camera.

  • How link from html page to a specific frame in flash cs5 as3

    Hi!
    I'm kinda new around here. I am interested in knowing how to link from a specific html page to a specific frame in flash cs5 as3.
    I have a website that I originally began to design in flash but later started developing new pages for it in html. The flash part of it has several pages on different frames and I have created links from the flash part to the other html pages, but, I can only link the html pages back to the main flash home page, and not the other pages in the flash part of the website.
    I have read that in cs3 it was possible using the flashvars skip variable, but I don't know how to do it. I have not yet seen any working examples and I could not find any instructions / tutorials online for cs5.
    Can someone help here?

    add a query string, to the swf's embedding html, with variable/value indicating the frame you want to display in your swf.  add a javascript function to return the query string (or entire url), call the javascript function from flash using the externalinterface class.  and finally add code to your swf to parse the returned url or query string, parse it and then direct your timeline to the appropriate frame.

  • Compatibility issues with CS5.5 and Maverick 10.9

    I'd like to know if there are any compatibility issues with CS5.5 and Maverick 10.9 before I upgrade from 10.6.8.

    To be honest, I use the CS5 Premium Creative Suite and have had to upgrade all my app's to Mavericks because I have a new iMac, the other one just died.
    I used the 'Time Machine' to backup and to transfer all the files, the Mac apps almost transferred 100% but not all successfully, especially iDVD, it was probably something that I did not click in the 'Time Machine preferences'.
    If I had the choice, upgrade to 'Mountain Lion, I would revert back to Mountain Lion but not got the discs, I find Mavericks very clunky and slow and causing lots of issues with my Adobe applications.
    So if it is not too late, I would wait a few months before upgrading to Mavericks.
    Hope this info' has helped.

  • Issues Illustrator CS5 ink manager/file collection/rotating views

    I work alot on food packaging in illustrator and have a few issues with CS5 that perhaps someone has a workaround for?
    I need to be able to view effective ppi resolution on links and collect/package all links into a folder. These features are in indesign, why not illustrator?? It would make sense for the effective PPI/final output resolution to be displayed in the links panel like it is in indesign.
    Man i wish they had included the ability to rotate the view in illustrator, would save a lot of neck strain on boxes.
    Regarding inkmanager, i want to create a pdf for client proofing from an illustrator file that has 3 spot colours and cmyk, there is no option to convert spot colours to process in illustrator like there is in indesign. The spot colours are coming out black in the pdf instead of the actual colour.

    Effective PPI of Linked Images: Although you cannot see the effective PPI in Links panel, you can find the effective PPI of a linked image in the control panel once you select the linked image
    Convert Spot to Process: Spot colors can be converted to process in Illustrator, select all objects applied with spot color and then access Edit Menu > Edit Colors > Convert to CMYK or Select the Spot swatch in Swatches panel edit the spot swatch and make it process. These are alternate ways you can convert Spot colors to Process.
    Spot colors should not be exported as Black in PDF, please report this issue to Adobe, before doing that please check whether Overprint Preview is turned on in Acrobat. You can check this Illustrator itself by place linking the exported PDF in new document and turn on Overprint Preview.

  • Compatibility issues between CS5.5 & new macs?

    Hello all. Does anyone know if there are compatibility issues between Audition CS5.5 and new macs? Just got a 2013 MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9) and haven't been able to install my copy of CS5..5, which I've been using on an older mac for years. I've tried both the original installation disc and a download.
    Thanks!

    Depends entirely on the application. You should probably visit the
    individual product forums for details.
    I will tell you this. For InDesign you're not going to be happy at all.

  • Official comment from Apple about the drop frame issue?

    Is Apple going to firmware fix the skipping drop frame issue on the Apple tv?
    Or is it hardware related?
    Too many of us seem to have experienced this issue for it not to be addressed.
    It shouldn't be difficult to fix.
    My 1st gen atv was fine.
    I should have kept it.

    Hopefully it can be fixed. Seeing as Apple has not even acknowledged it I returned mine yesterday since I was coming up on my 30 day return deadline. At least this way I'm not stuck with a device that has a hardware issue.
    As of yesterday I have seen this issue on 10 different New Apple TV units, all on different HD sets, different network setups etc. Half of the owners had never noticed it. Two of those were adamant they did not have the problem and one of those still insisted they didn't after I spotted it multiple times. So while the issue has been present on 100% of the units I have seen, its not necessarily noticeable to everyone. I have noticed its much easier to spot on larger displays and when the display quality itself is higher, for example easier to spot on a higher quality 61" 1080p set than a lower quality 720p 26".
    If you have the option I would return the unit. Worse case is your don't have the unit, which is not functioning 1005 anyway, for a short period and then grab it again if the issues get addressed.

  • Potential workaround for green frame issue

    Hi,
    We are sorry for the the inconvenience caused by green frame issue on some laptop models.
    To work around the issue that some users are experiencing in the 1.6 version on specific machines, current suggestions is to add 3 more lines above the last two lines of shared.xml that is located in the C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.SkypeApp_kzf8qxf38zg5c\LocalState
    Note: Make sure Skype is closed (press ALT+F4 with the Skype app open) while you are modifying shared.xml file and make sure you save the changes in the file before starting Skype again.
    Also if you don't see AppData folder in C:\Users\your_username go to View tab and check Hidden items checkbox.
    </Lib>
    </config>
    should be replaced with 
    <Video>
    <EnableWideSupport>0</EnableWideSupport>
    </Video>
    </Lib>
    </config>
    Please try this and post if it solved your issue.
    Thank you in advance

    In addition to the above fix, we would be grateful if you were experiencing green video that you help us by doing this:

  • 720p60 P2/HD Dropped Frame Issue

    I'm having a dropped frame issue in FCP with some P2 720-60p footage. I can't get it to play through a sequence without freezing and giving me a warning. We've narrowed it down to an apparent processor issue. There are two tracks of audio (a stereo pair), and two tracks of music (again, a stereo pair). When we turn off the music, the sequence plays fine. But when the music goes back on, the sequence chokes. The funny thing is, I just did an HD project shot in 24p/n with several tracks of audio and several tracks of video and, aside from needing to render certain things, it played fine.
    Any ideas?
    Here are the specs:
    P2 footage originated in 720/60p
    AUDIO/VIDEO SETTINGS:
    Sequence Preset: DVCPro HD 720p60
    Video Playback: None (there isn't an output card for this computer).
    SEQUENCE SETINGS:
    Frame Size: 960x720 (HD 960x720 16:9)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: HD (960x720)
    Editing Timebase: 59.94
    Compressor: DVCPro HD 720p60
    Audio Rate: 48 kHz
    Depth: 24
    Config: Default
    Any ideas here?

    Then it's pointing at a throughput problem between the RAID and the server I'll guess. Trouble shooting that could be interesting. Can you move the media to a local drive?
    I'd also be interested to see what AJA's read/write speeds are on that RAID from your station...
    Post the gear between your mac and the server etc.. whose RAID is it, How is it formatted? Got a model number of each of the devices involved? Mac Server?

    You've selected the "Easy setup" for the format you're editing too, right?

  • Rotated image/frame issue

    I'm using Frame 8 and Acrobat 3D 8 and having issues with rotated images or frames. When printing to paper, the graphics are fine, but if I print to PDF, the top of the image is cropped. Text lines are visible but the top inch of the imported graphic is not. I wonder if this is a setting in Acrobat or a Frame issue.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    > I have tried using jpg
    Jpeg is a particularly bad format for screen captures. Tiff would be
    better; I don't know enough about png. Ages ago, in a much earlier
    version, I had trouble with large bitmaps printing properly in Frame
    (not exactly the same problem - they were printing fine for about 3/4 of
    the page and then it printed all "bunched up" and the bottom 1/4 didn't
    print). I started using EPS (bitmap eps, saved from Photoshop). This not
    only solved the problem, it had the added benefit of displaying much
    faster (because the eps files had only a low-res preview, so Frame
    didn't hesitate on each graphic to read in the whole file).
    I'd be happy to look at one of your pngs, see if it works here, but I'm
    on Frame 7 (just ordered Frame 9), so I'm not sure if my results would
    be relevant. Zip and send to kbenson at pegtype dot com

  • Resize frame

    I use NetBeans 5.5
    With help of GUI Builder I made a JFrame Form.
    Then, I add a class which extends JPanel to my Form.
    This Class has Panel with JTable and a panel with some buttons.
    The problem is:
    Frame doesn't resize after my class adding.
    User sees half om my JTable. So he has to resize frame window manually.
    Is there any way to get "real" size of my frame (including added components) and resize frame to "real" size?

                    tabbedPane.add("my class with JTable", new FrameProblem());
                    frame.add(tabbedPane);
                    frame.setVisible(true);
                    frame.pack();
    As you can see, everything is OK!
    frame resizes to FrameProblem class dimension.
    As i have wrote before, I think problem is in the interaction between GUI Builder designed components and manually wrote components

  • Relinking resizing issues with CS5.5

    I've just gone from CS3 to 5.5.
    Working from templates I've created, I could relink variations of a logo without the scale of the logo changing (the text will stay the same size from one logo to the next) and when updating images that have been rezed up, they stay the same size.
    Now, In CS5.5, to relink the logo I have to uncheck 'Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking' in preferences, relink the logo and then 'Clear fitting options' so I can aliggn it right.
    Then when I want to update a rezzed up image I have to turn 'Preserve Image Dimensions When Relinking' back on.
    I know this is a pretty lazy issue, but it's irritating.

    I'm not sure what that's about. I will say, though, and should have thought of this earlier, that there are reports of strange behavior in legacy docs, especially CS3, opened directly into CS5 (and presumably CS5.5). One thing that seems to help is to export the file from CS3 as .inx, then open the .inx istead of the .indd in the new version of ID. You can then resave as a new template.

  • Pixelation issue resizing jpeg Logo - Illustrator CS5

    I'm working on a file where they've supplied me with their logo only in jpeg format. I'm trying to lower the size for the small artboard (to approx 15% of it's original size) but can't find any way to make it even the slightest bit smaller without noticable pixelation - let alone an 85% reduction. This will ultimately be print ad so I'm trying to keep resolution in mind.
    I'd appreciate everyones expertise! (Illustrator fixes only please as I do not have photoshop)

    I wasn't looking at it in overprint preview but did since your message and it makes no difference. It is for a small newspaper ad 2"x3.5" so I of course need the logo to been even smaller than that.
    Here is the provided jpeg image:
    Here it is at 15%:
    As for looking at it in 100%...(perhaps is my lack of advanced illustrator knowledge)....I've always found at 100% it is not true to scale - somewhere around 155/156% I find is true to scale when printed.
