Slow project opening

Using Premiere CS3 with 8 hours of HDV files captured in HDVsplit (m2t).
When I open the project it first looks good, then right at the end of the progress bar it slows right down and can take up to 15mins (!!!!) to load?? Happens everytime with a myriad of different configurations. Seems to be busy 'indexing' files...
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
Athlonx64(2.4ghz)
4gb ram (800)
SATA drive (100mb/s)

To throw my two cents in,
I've learnt to except this sort of time lag, for me it is a bit less though. You've just got to use this time to your advantage, get down, get ready and start, then take a five minute coffee break - that's the way to do business.
Seriously though CS3 is a siht hot product, don't be cruel and just except that it takes the little Adobe umpa lumpa's in your hard drive a while to wind up the rubber bands. Help 'em out by making sure your system is optimised -http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402169&sliceId=1

FCP sooo slow to open

Hi,
I am running FCP v5.1.2 on a Mac Pro 2.66 with 5gb of ram and if I have closed it with a project open it can take up to 5 minutes to open. It happens with all projects. The bigger the project the longer it takes. I saw this on my old g5 to.
Anyone know how to fix this apart from close the projects down before you quit?
Best wishes
Michael

binning the prefs< </div>
Interesting new expression for the most common folk remedy around here. I'd be interested in knowing if binning them has any effect on your symptoms in the slightest. But you'd have to bin your prefs only, restart and examine the issue.
Slow opening is rarely associated with the size of the or length of the project on our systems. It's more likely associated with the process of searching and inventorying drives and filling caches, as others have indicated. Have you been using sources from networked or external drives such as FW disks or USB jump drives? Even if you copied it all to your drive before you imported the media, FCP may still be trying to find those externals. I'm not sure how to solve that, sorry. We have developed our workflow to copy from externals and eject them before importing.
Hope you get it figured out. Keep posting additional information. Please let us know if binning your prefs helps.

Aperture slow to open

iMac, Yosemite 10.10, all systems/apps (including PS, lightroom, etc.) running good, EXCEPT Aperture. Slow to open - mostly spinning beachball. I have tried DB repair, repair permissions and rebuild DB. Help. Bob

Brilliant Bob!
I was on the verge of insanity .....
Tried everything (rebuilding,repairing, test libraries, reinstalled Aperture etc) ... nothing helped.
Because I use a library for every new project I have to open a new one every time I want to work on my images.
Opening them took forever.
But then you give the iCloud photo suggestion!
Now my libraries open again as before, fast and slick.
You are a genius Sir ! Thank you!
Please Apple "techs" take note of this suggestion and make a patch quick!
Regards, Arjan

RoboHelp freeze at Project Opening

Dear RoboHelp user community,
I recently moved from RoboHelp7 to RoboHelp8.0.2 and I am facing very slow performances at Project Opening (more than an hour)
The Project is quite big, and may have been corrupted. I was wondering if there is an utility, or operations to perform that would allow me to fix the project and be able to work again!
Many thanks in advance for your help,
Valerian

Hi there
Where exactly is the project stored? Many folks have reported dreadfully slow performance when the project is stored on a network drive and you try to open and edit from there.
If that's the case for you, you should seriously consider moving the project to your local C drive in order to work on it.
Cheers... Rick

Encore CS5 Slow to Open, Switch App

Encore CS5 seems unusually slow to open a particular project file, and to switch into focus (i.e., from another running member of the suite). The file in question has half a dozen slide shows, encompassing about 350 Photoshop files. The individual Photoshop files are fairly large (e.g., >35MB). Could that be causing this unusual sluggishness?

I would convert the mp3 files to wav. There are just too many tales of problems.
I wonder if this is one of those situations where using the "run as administrator" may help.
Your current project may be corrupt. I find it easiest to start over, using the scaled down images and wav files.

2 Projects open at once... WHY IS LOGIC 8 SO UNSTABLE?!!

Why is Logic 8 sooooo... slow & unstable with two projects opened at the same time? I know Core Audio can be disabled to speed things up & improve stability, but often the things you want to copy from one project to another involve Core Audio (EXS, Channel Strip settings etc). (I also know that you can save & re-load settings, but often you need both projects open to visually identify what needs saving or copying)...
The problem it seems, is every time you switch between a project, it insists on re-loading audio files & samples - surely with the amount of Ram most modern computers have Logic 8 should be able to handle both project's assets at the same time? Alternatively can't programmers come up with a "Disable Audio File Load" command instead disabling Core Audio?
This really is an essential part of modern production - something Logic 7 used to handle without breaking into a sweat - what's your problem Logic 8?

Yes, when you move between the two songs, Logic will insist on reloading all it's samples, plug-ins etc. That is why you want dis-able the audio core. I've also found dragging a track between two songs, will sometimes cause Logic to crash.
My work-a-round is this. I make extensive use of Apple's 'Grab' application. Open the song you want to copy from. I take pictures of arrangements, close up, zoom outs, etc. to get overall view of song and detail. You might take pics of the virtual instruments faceplate (so I can see patch). Use 'save performance' for each track you want to copy from. Give names like 'song21-bass' etc. You can also use 'save channel strip setting as' - but 'performance' is more complete. Now also export the midi for that track, and possibly audio, if you're going to use same patch in new song.
When you've done that. Close song completely and open new song. Use the pictures you took for reference. To create your virtual instrument tracks, create an instrument track and look under setting. all your new 'performance' instruments will be there. Click on one to open it. Now import the corresponding MIDI track that you exported for this earlier.
Once you've done this a few times, it's a lot faster than dragging tracks between two songs, waiting for core audio reload, and hoping it doesn't crash.

Is there a way to have two separate projects open in different windows?

On my old editing software, I could have two separate projects open at the same time. I could copy clips from Project A, click over to Project B, and paste the Project A clips to Project B. Is there a way to have two separate projects open with Premiere Elements, or will I have to just import and trim every clip within the same project?

Welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately, PrE will not allow two Projects to be open at the same time. It will also not allow multiple instances of PrE to be open.
The workaround, to accomplish what you describe, is to use a ClipBoard Extender, such as ClipMate, which will allow one to Copy a Timeline, or parts of it, from one Project, then Close that one, to Open another one, and Paste the material, that was Copied. Many users employee ClipMate, or similar, to Copy/Paste material from one Project, to another.
Good luck,
Hunt

Open and Save Dialogs Slow to Open and Populate

In all of my apps, the Open and Save dialogs have become very slow to open and populate since installing Snow Leopard, when the machine is connected to a Windows server. Disconnecting from the server solves the problem; reconnecting causes it to reappear.
This only happens on some of my machines, and not others
Any thoughts on what this could be. The delay is significant (about 10 seconds in all).

Roy,
I've got the same problem. I've been charting the slowness, i.e. the time until the app responds and opens the save dialog box, and most apps hover around 2 minutes of waiting.
My home network consists of a belkin n+ router (running only with the N radio, and WPA2 security), one ethernet-connected powerbook with a USB-connected hard disk (640GB+), and my MBP connecting by wireless. The USB HD is used as a Time Machine backup disk, and the backups are extremely slow, on the order of 2 GB's per hour at most.
That said, I called up Apple Tech Support and they had me flash my PRAM, restart the machine, and Reset Safari (since that was the app I called about). These efforts, unfortunately, did not fix the issue.
I will be passing on the fact that Tech Support's efforts did not solve the problem--maybe they'll get back to me on the issue. If so, I'll post it here.

Report slow to open in Crystal

Some of my reports are very slow to open in Crystal Reports 2011. It can take up to a minute for a report to open.
Once the report opens, generating data is quick.
Consequently reports are slow to open in the Crystal viewer within my application as well.
It does not happen with all reports, any suggestions as to the cause or some solutions to try.
Thank you
Luke.

Hi Luke,
Moved to the SDK forum.
Any reason is you may have the Verify Database options checked on. Or it could be your report is looking for the printer in the report across your domain.
Typically though if the Verify is checked on a one minute time out happens for ODBC data sources if the DSN is not available.
So need more info:
What version of CR Designer are you using?
What SDK and version are you using?

Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7. I've clicked on a folder 5 minutes ago and am still waiting. The work-around seems to be to force-close it, but I've needed to do this many times in the last few days.

Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7.
I posted on here about this a few weeks back and someone suggested force-closing Pages -- and that does indeed enable me to open things -- but I have had to force-close many times in the last 24 hours, which is worrying. Are there any other suggestions?
I am sometimes also finding that, when I have been writing something and then click on "documents" the screen goes blank, there is a wait of around a minute and then the same document is re-displayed, before clicking "documents" again lets me look at other documents -- which is a pain if I am trying to move between documents repeatedly. Again, words of wisdom on this would be great.
Pages under iOS6 opened quickly, and there was an immediate loss of performance when I upgraded. I am finding this very frustrating because I don't feel that the new Pages has added to the facilities I was using, but a slowness to open documents is frustrating.
Thanks
Mark

Why does my firefox start page keep opening in a foreign language, no matter how many times i have uninstalled and reinstalled the US English version? also, why is it so slow to open, if it opens at all now?

it wants me to believe it's opening in Spanish, but that is not the language that appears on the start page, looks like it might be German? also, since i have reinstalled, mozilla/firefox is extremely slow to open, if, in fact, it opens at all. if i stop the process, and then proceed to open something else via the toolbar, i.e., aol mail, etc., i get to where i need to be.

If the Google (Firefox) or Yahoo home page is in the wrong language then see:

Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while running. Should I reload safari and if so, how do I do so?

Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while it is running. How can I resolve this issue?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If there's no improvement, continue as follows.
From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.
