Slow Playback and Scrubbing on Fast System in Premiere CS6

I own a Eurocom desktop replacement laptop.
2 Nvidia 580m running in SLI
24 gigs of DDR3 ram
4 internal SSD
Intel I7 990x Extreme CPU (6 cores)
Last time I checked my video cards were not certified for the Mercury Playback Engine, but surely I should not see solid red in the sequence window. It's always red, in fact I've never even seen the color yellow while using Premiere.
I'm new to video, I'm a retoucher and this machine annhialates Photoshop. I wish I had gotten a Quattro level set of cards instead of the top GeFore model (at the time).
Scrubbing is sluggish. When I have tried using a single filter like a gaussian blur with some keyframes it became unbearably slow so I stopped trying. This is bumming me out because I really love the software.
Is there anything I could try to improve performance minus blowing a wad of cash?
Thank you Friends.

As per your advice I've tried that. It seems I may be getting a slightly higher framecount - which is of course a good thing. I still see solid red, but maybe that is just how it is with my video cards. I tried "The Hack" and added my card to the list, but that did nothing. I still can't select Mercury.
Either way, thanks for the quick reply ExactImage.
Cheers.

Nvidia GTX 980 Slow Playback and Rendering on 36 Core Dual Xeon

I have a Dual Xeon e5 2699 v3 machine (18 cores per CPU; 36 physical; 72 Logical). I am processing Red Dragon footage at 6K resolution and 60 Frames per Second. I have a Red Rocket-X card as well as Four (4) GTX-980 Nvidia GPUs. When I try to use the Mercury Playback engine the performance is pitiful. When I select CPU/Software only I get over 120 fps. The Adobe CC software ONLY uses One of the Two CPUs installed on the system at any one time, it is like it doesn't see the other CPU even though Windows acknowledges that both are there and working (Cinema 4D and Cinebench use all 72 logical cores and will max them all out). However, even with the Adobe CC Software only seeing 1 of 2 CPUs, the CPU playback is still way faster than the Mercury Playback/CUDA version. This makes no sense to me sense the GTX-980s are the fastest/newest cards from Nvidia. I have read that Premiere CC will only use one GPU for playback but will use multiple cards for renders. HOWEVER, when rendering GPU-z says that each of my cards is working at less than 25% of capacity. The rest of the system is NOT the bottle neck, I have 256Gb of DDR4 RAM, along with 12-1Tb SSDs attached to a 12 Channel 12Gb/s e-SATA card with 8Gb of RAM on the card. I am getting sustained transfers on the RAID of over 2 Gigabytes per second.
I have invested a lot in this machine in an effort to save rendering time.... Adobe's recommendation for multiple CPUs and Multiple Graphics cards don't seem to matter as my render times are no faster than they were using FCP-X on a 2010 12 core MacPro Tower.
I hope it is just a driver or programming issue that relates to the 2699's and the GTX980 being so new???
Any Help would be appreciated,
Michael

Bill,
Thank you for making the time. I followed your instructions, great little piece of software. Here is a screen shot when I ran my test...
As you can see even on your test, only 1 CPU is being used by Premiere. The results from the benchmark were uploaded under the computer name RedShredder (I use it to edit and render Red Dragon 6k footage).
The results from you output file are as follows: "32","44","8","206",Premiere Version:, 8.2.0.65
I couldn't register at the site but will try again later.
My concern is that no matter what I do Premiere and the entire Creative Cloud ONLY see ONE CPU on my Dual Xeon system. Sometimes it will run on the other one and you can force it to by changing the processor affinity selection but no matter what, even if you click all cores on both CPUs it will still pick one and just run on that processor.
Any help would be appreciated,
Michael

Slow boot and eventual freeze of system

ok here is the low down, my computer is booting up fairly slow at times, and other times at normal speed. Sometimes it does not boot at all. When it does boot up, it appears to be running normally, then all of the sudden nothing happens. I can move the mouse but nothing is reacting. the programs do not respond, nothing that is supose to be animated moves, and essentially everything stops, except I can still move the mouse freely. I am getting about 15 min of good use out of it before it kills over and freezes up, that is if it will boot properly.
Is this a Hard Drive or system error and how would I go about getting my information off of the computer.

To get the information off the computer, if you can get it to boot, you should backup your data. There are many means of backing up data, though if you can't boot, Getting an external Firewire hard drive that is at least 80 GB, and Prosoft Data Rescue may be necessary if you haven't backed up. Prosoft Data Rescue can be found here:
http://www.prosofteng.com/
Once you know you have a complete backup of your data, you may want examine the drive's directory and see if it can be repaired following these instructions:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
If it can't be repaired, you can either get Alsoft Disk Warrior from:
http://www.alsoft.com/
Or erase and install the operating system while there are no hard drive's connected externally, and upgrade back to 10.3.9 with the combo update:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
If after doing that and not installing any third party peripherals or software it still is slowing down, then you may have a hardware issue which needs to be examined with the hardware test disk that came with your machine. I'm not certain, but I think all 17" Powerbooks have the hardware test as a second bootable volume on the restore disk that is bootable via the Startup Manager described here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106178
Run the extended test, and report back the results if you end up having to go this far.

Bezier warp expression - slowing amplitude and velocity with fast decay

I've been working with an expression from Dan Ebberts Vibrating strings which I have modified to create a bending effect on a solid shape
This part is applied to a slider expression of the solid
veloc = 14;
amplitude = -250;
decay = 4;
amplitude*Math.sin(veloc*time)/Math.exp(decay*time)
Then a bezier warp has been applied to the solid shape to the Bottom Right Tangent and Bottom Left Tangent
value + [0,effect("Slider Control").param("Slider")]
This works very well except that I would like to be able to have the amplitude of the bending shape slow down as it bends and then snap back quickly in the decay but I'm not sure how to accomplish this. I have tried playing with the settings that I have, but am unable to make this work.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Ira

I'm not sure what you're describing exactly. The expression you're using generates a damped sine wave. What would the new waveform look like? Would it be the same except eased so the the wave spends more time close to the extremes and less time transitioning, or something else entirely?
You could build your own, triple-eased periodic waveform like this, but I'm not sure it's what you're after:
veloc = 14;
amplitude = -250;
decay = 4;
period = (Math.PI*2)/veloc;
t = (time+period/4)%period;
if (t < period/2)
v = ease(t,0,period/2,-1,1)
else
v = ease(t,period/2,period,1,-1);
v = ease(v,-1,1,-1,1);
v = ease(v,-1,1,-1,1);
amplitude*v/Math.exp(decay*time)

Where is Photoshop CC and why did the system give me CS6?

When I signed up for CC membership (single app) and paid for it, I was offered one version of Photoshop and one version only - CS6 Externded Edition. Where is the Photoshop CC I paid for? If they are the same thing, why is that not made clear in the purchase process? Why can't I just buy an upgrade to the current edition of Photoshop, pay my money, and save all this endless, time-consuming messing about? I just want to edit a photograph. Not happy.

It sounds like you have not downloaded CC yet.
Start the Adobe Application Manager that came with CS6. You will then see that Photoshop CC is available for download. You might also want to download Bridge, which is available separately.
If you have not downloaded anything, log on to your account at Adobe, click on My Adobe, go to My Orders, open your CC order and click Download.

AE created text is jumping and not updating for no reason in Premiere CS6

Hello, I think I found a bug. Most likely has something to do with Dynamic Link. I am creating simple moving text in After Effects CS6, and bringing the compoistion over to Premiere CS6 timeline. Occasionally, the text jumps around, or the adjustments I just made to an AE comp don't get updated in Premiere. I moved all of the data from one hard drive to another, thinking it might be the hard drive. But the error still occurs. Makes it rather difficult to work. Any chance you all can solve this one? Kind of driving me crazy since this is clearly a software issue, not a user error. I've been using Adobe software for 10+ years.

This problem continues, Dynamic Link is broken. Useless.
What version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update). 11.0.1.12
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) up to date
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac". Mac OS 10.6.8
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime". ????
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)? no error message, changes made in AE don't update in Premeiere
What were you doing when the problem occurred? working
Has this ever worked before? yes, in previous versions of AE
What other software are you running? NO!
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Of course
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected. Not relevant,
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)? Black Magic Capture Card
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects? yes
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both? both
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing? Yes

Computer Freezes during Playback, Render and Scrubbing in Premiere Pro CS5.5

CPU - Intel i7 980 3.33GHz
RAM - 12GB (6 x 2GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600
PSU - 850watt Corsair
Graphics Card - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570
C: Drive - 600GB Velociraptor (with only program files stored on the drive)
OS - Windows Ultimate 7, 64-bit, Service Pack 1 (up to date)
Adobe Creative Suite 5.5 Production Premium (with all updates)
My problem occurs only in Premiere Pro CS5.5 and not with any other Adobe programs, including After Effects. Playback, scrubbing, or rendering in my Premiere Pro timeline causes the computer to freeze. When it freezes I cannot move the mouse, I cannot use the keyboard, there is no automatic shutdown, and there is no BSOD. The computer just freezes, forever, and needs to be shutdown manually.
This problem began a few weeks ago, only happening occassionaly. Recently the problem has escalated to the point that I cannot use Premiere Pro CS5.5 for more than 30 seconds before it freezes.
I have several different Premiere Pro projects saved to a 1TB WD Black Caviar HDD. In some of the projects I am using Cineform converted .mov files and in others I am using the raw(compressed) footage directly from a Canon DSLR. This dedicated harddrive has 60% free space.
Mercury PLayback Acceleration is enabled, and I have been successfully using Premiere and the rest of the creative suite intensively since October 2011 with absolutely NO problems. I cannot remember the system ever crashing once during this time period, until now, which is remarkable. All software on my computer is legitimate, and there are no third party codecs installed.
What can I do to fix this problem? All help is extremely appreciated. THANK-YOU!
Drew Norton

Thank you, Harm I will do this. In response to the video card being a possible cause of the problem, I moved forward and downloaded Furmark to test it. When running Furmark the program crashes. It gets going on the test and crashes, and apparently according to other websites this means my graphics card is not running at capacity. Do any of you have experience with this?
If it is as clean cut as a busted graphics card I would be very excited to know.

Slow motion, reverse playback and others

Dear members:
After doing some research that included help files for Final Cut Express HD and Apple's support pages I haven't been able to find a straight and definited answer to my question.
I am trying to find ways to add slow motion, reverse playback and fast playback effects to my sequences in Final Cut Express HD but haven't found a way to do it. Some pages I found seem to indicate that these functions may not be available in Final Cut Express HD but they are not specific enough. I honestly can't believe that an application that is meant to provide professional results wouldn't offer these which are probably some of the most used effects in video.
Do any of you know if and how these effects can be used with Final Cut Express HD ?
In case it can't handle these effects, how much would an upgrade to Final Cut Pro HD cost if I am coming from Final Cut Express HD ? Is there an (reasonable) upgrade path ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Joseph Chamberlain

I'm sure you can do this w/ FC3xpress - although I haven't used that app in years- but you can try this:
-Select the clip you want to add the 3ffect to then press Apple-J
-That should bring up the menu where you can determine the new speed percentage.
-If it doesn't have the Reverse checkmark option (I don't think it did in earlier versions) you can do a negative percentage to make the clip play in reverse.
Also it looks like there is no way to upgrade from Final Cut 3xpress to Final Cut Studio
You can upgrade from a few apps but Express isn't included in that list.
The list is here if you'd like to see for yourself.
http://www.apple.com/universal/crossgrade/
And if you click the buy you have the option to buy the upgrade (intead of the crossgrade)

Good Morning! As a feedback, I still prefer the physical purchase instead of downloads. It suppose to be easier and faster and always end up being slower, annoying and frustrating. I just want to download the software Mountain Lion that I have purchased

Good Morning! As a feedback, I still prefer the physical purchase instead of downloads. It suppose to be easier and faster and always end up being slower, annoying and frustrating. I just want to download the software Mountain Lion that I have purchased. Redeem is a pain. How do I redeem my purchase without ERROR or COULD NOT RECOGNISE , the code that you have sent to me!!!

It appears PowerMacs (your profile) aren't supported.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) model number 7,1 or higher
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
Xserve (Early 2009) model number 3,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Why yahoo/gmail retrieval and facebook app so so slow when in WIFI. But using the internet to check for emails and facebook is fast using the same WIFI connection??

Hi SandyS_VZW,
Yes tried resetting the wifi connection and problem still persist.
Here it is...to make it clear. Connected thru the same wifi at home...
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook WEBSITES are working fine and fast when using/accessing thru a browser (chrome/samsung browser) - no problem with this.
-> emails (yahoo/gmail) and facebook APP is soooooo sloooww (thru the App). Slow I mean comparing it to using their browser/websites... news feeds/emails refreshing so quickly but not when using the APP installed in Samsung Galaxy Note 4. Slow like - It will take around 5-10minutes just to get your emails and news feed refreshed.
THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN CONNECTED THRU A WIFI which has a speed of 10-20mb. It is not happening when connected to the network data/plan.
My wife has the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (coming from different provider at&t) - same setup (emails, fb app), same wifi connection, but she's not experiencing anything like it.
Not sure why, I dont want to believe that while connected to a WIFI, Verizon is restricting anything and ******* me off to make me switch to my data plan connection everytime - which is Unfair!
Was there a known issue similar about this case?
thanks,

I am having a very slow system - from a very fast system

I am suffering from a system that is really slowing down and becoming almost unresponsive some of the time. From a previous post I have learned of EtreCheck and here is the report.
Any help is much appreciated.

IMovies 10.0.4: How do I get Slow Motion and Fast Forward (Speed Editor) to function?

I am using iMovie 10.0.4 and cannot get fast-forward or slow-motion functions to work. I have organized my clips into a Project and attempting to edit them in the Timeline. With the target clip selected in Timeline, I am unable to access the fast-forward or slow motion functions in the menu bar nor by right-clicking to select the Speed Editor. Example screenshot below. Thanks for any help you can throw my way.

Hi,
I have this problem too.
Do you have the issue only on new projects ?
Do you still have an old project where you used slow motion ? if so, just duplicate the project and cleanup all clips from the new project and you have a clean empty project with working speed controls. It works for me.
Let me know.
I've created my own question about it because I didn't see yours at first.
iMovie 10.0.3 on OSX 10.9.4 speed controls disabled on new projects

How to best achieve slow motion and fast motion

Hi - I am new to the forum and a basic user of Premiere Pro CS5. I am working on a project shot at 24 fps, and would like to do slow and fast motion.
From what i understand there are 2-3 different ways to do this in Premiere - choosing speed/duration of the clip from timeline, or choosing time remapping form effects panel ot using rate stretch tool. Wondering how do these compare and which is better - any pointers for this will be great help. Also is slow motion and fast motion better done in After Effects than Premiere. Or any recommended plugins that would work on cs5 and cs5.5. Thanks.

The main difference between using time-remapping and just using time-stretching is that time-remapping allows you to change the speed quite flexibly at different times in the same clip, whereas stretching just changes the rate for the whole clip.
See this page:
"Change speed and duration for one or more clips"
> Also is slow motion and fast motion better done in After Effects than Premiere.
After Effects has far more control, especially with regard to how new image information is created between the original frames when you change speed and require frame interpolation (frame blending). Pixel Motion and Timewarp use a very advanced motion vector method (based on the Foundry's Kronos software) for doing this.
See "Time-stretching and time-remapping".

I thought ff4 was suppose to be faster than 3.6 but it is slower loading and getting to websites. Are ther certain add-ons that could be affecting ff4 that did not affect 3.6?

ff4 generally slower loading and loading pages.

same problem here for the past two days till this morning when I created a new profile and removed ALL addons from the default profile. With the new profile with NO addons, I got to the sites with video that I had problem with and flash player did work.
Now, I only have three addons that have not created the problem; adblock, flashgot, and flashblock.
Create a new profile and check it out.

Premiere Pro CS4.2.1 crashes/jittery playback when scrubbing timeline

With just PP CS4.2.1 open, my program crashes when scrubbing the timeline as well as exhibits jittery playback after scrubbing the timeline. This is a PC system, Microsoft Vista Business 64bit with SP2, 500GB SATA2 hard drive (system), (3) 1-TB SATA2 hard drives (storage), (2) Intel Xeon Quad Core E5560, 2.8 ghz processors, 8 mb cache.
I have (2) workstations with similiar setups and show the same issue. It doesn't happen with any consistency but requires constant control-S saves to make sure the project doesn't crash when you don't want it to.
I just converted from PP 1.5.1 to this with a complete new setup. This setup (on both machines) has proven to be less stable than the older system with 1.5.1
Figure it's something similar with system build as it's happening on both machines and/or it's something in/with Premiere CS4.
