Why does my entire computer freeze while opening or using After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5?

Just built a computer to meet all requirements for Adobe, Autodesk 3ds Max, and UDK, for school.
Specs;
Motherboard - ASRock X79 Extreme 4-M, Socket 2011 - Micro ATX - 4 DDR3 1600/1333/1066/800 - 3 PCI-E 3.0 x 16 - 7.1 CH HD Audio - PCIE GLAN - 3 SATA3 - eSATA3 - 4 SATA2 - 4 USB 3.0 - 10 USB 2.0
Processor - Intel Core i7 Processor - i7-3820 LGA 2011
Processor fan - Intel Thermal Solution RTS2011 AC
RAM - Ballistix by Crucial - 2x 8GB Tactical PC3 - 12800 CL8 1.5 VW/XMP = 16GB RAM
SSD - Crucial M4 SSD 128GB - Comptatibility with 6Gb/s & backward compatible with SATA 3Gb/s
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 1TB - 7200 RPM up to 32mb cache
Power Supply - Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus 700W
Graphics Card - EVGA - NVIDIA GeForce GTX480 - DirectX11 - CUDA - OpenCL Support - PhysX Technology - OpenGL 4.1 (so says the box it came in; but if I'm not mistaken I think the command prompt had shown OpenGL 3 or 3.2)
Disc Driver - LG DVD/CD RW... It is an OEM, Windows claims it is updated.
I use an external component - USB Microsoft Wireless Mouse & Keyboard 2000.
I have, as far as software goes...
Windows 7 64-bit SP1
Adobe Creative Suite 5, student version or what have you.
- I do have several plugins installed as well for After Effects only.
Autodesk 3ds Max 2012
-I have several maxscripts as well as a couple plugins for 3ds Max.
UDK 2-2012 & 3-2012
NVIDIA PhysX Lab 1.1
NVIDIA Texture Tools 2
NVIDIA plugin for Photoshop
xNormal
ConTEXT
UnCodeX
Quicktime
AVG Free
Malwarebytes
7-Zip
Java
Sculptris
As for anything else giving me issues I haven't noticed anything besides a previous Graphics Card wasn't supported very well at all with 3ds Max, it would freeze while using the material editor which was fixed with replacing a GTX550 ti with a more compatible GTX480. Thought maybe the upgrade would also solve the fact that almost everytime I go to start up and/or use After Effects or Premiere Pro CS5 my whole system freezes. Whether or not I'm doing anything, it occasionally happened during "Scrubbing" the timeline, but also during the splash load up screen. Would take the time to wait for several minutes but nothing would change. Hard reboot was needed. After countless hours of searching online I stumbled upon what is called an "Unlock" for Premiere Pro/After Effects to allow accelerated GPU and CUDA cores. Simple procedure, seems as if things go faster... When it is working. But still, I encounter freezes on my entire system. It isn't a crash back to Windows or anytihng. Just a complete freeze on the entire system. I have not extensively used other Adobe programs besides Photoshop quite briefly just so I could open menus and force a freeze within 5 minutes and noticed nothing wrong. Which in AE & PP just running through any of the menu windows can quickly cause a sudden freeze.
note* I have alternated shutting off and turning on OpenGL as well as multiprocessing. Doesn't matter, it really doesn't seem to change much of anything.
Alas, I am absolutely sure, after checking and re-checking 80+ hours over the past 2 weeks that yes, everything is updated as far as each individual program, software or hardware will allow me to update them. I have reinstalled Windows as well as each program up to 3 times, and 1 system (restore?) I had Windows dump everything, started from scratch, backed up nothing. To reinstall everything from scratch, while not installed several "Utilities" or software components from stuff like the Motherboard and its XFAST USB/LAN or whatever, thinking maybe it was cluttering up anything.
Please, if anyone has any ideas upon this and could give me advice, whether you notice any other incompatibilities or anything. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
note* I do not have a wired Keyboard or mouse to disable the USB plugin and attempt that route.. at least not yet, its on my list of things to do. Also, I did run Memtest86+ during a boot and it claims that everything there had passed 100%. I am not "overclocking" anything either. I just wanted something I could work smoothly on, that would have decent rendering capabilities. I used to use my girls' laptop which was an HP with 3GB RAM and never experienced crashes or freezes and I could use AE, PPro, 3ds Max with some lag but not any issues. Rendering took forever on it, but I usually avoided that 'cuz it would start heating up pretty fierce. Saved my rendering for school computers where I could. But either way, now I have this expensive piece and it is getting frustrating that I cannot work on it.
note* Also, incase it does help, I have Windows as well as any major components installed onto the C: drive (aka SSD for my system) while all my secondary software, such as Adobe, Autodesk, etc. are all installed directly to my D: drive (or HDD) And everything is set up to go through Windows Firewall as well.

Thanks all. I have just tried a few things, installing them onto the C drive as you all specified as not being one of them. I can understand it, but at the same time i have a classmate who has their software on a seperate drive and it runs smoothe. I'm on my second GPU in 2 weeks, unless I have terrible luck it seems doubtful being that I can run games and a majority of the software no problem. Through further testing around with a corded mouse and keyboard I've noticed the following...
The computer freezes entirely only when I'm performing a "scrubbing" action or using a mouse. Left clicking, scrolling, or moving it around. Otherwise if I do not use the mouse and I make all my actions, such as "scrubbing" in AE via "Page Up & Down" keys, there's no freeze and it preloads the preview no problem.
"Scrubbing" does not load a preview (the green bar doesn't load at all while scrubbing). But, also noticed no matter how smoothe everything is running in 3ds Max as well as PPro, once I start performing a "scrubbing" action with whatever timeline I use, it will definately freeze my whole computer, Windows and all. Hard reboot is neeed.
With having gone through 2 GPU's, done a full memtest via Windows 7 and Memtest86+, there seems to be no issue with my memory or GPU. Like I said, I've run UDK without an issue. Whether the editor or game. The USB doesn't seem like it's the cause, I've used both wireless as well as wired keyboards/mouse. Still freezes, but now only when using a mouse to "Scrub".
Is it possible my motherboard could be incompatible somewhere? I mean, really.. everything is brand new but 2 weeks of troubleshooting.
And I do plan on trying to run my software off the C drive, I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something else, like I said, I've seen and used a computer where it all runs off the D drive and it runs perfectly, actually better on his computer than off the C drive at my schools. So if it is an issue would it lie within the fact that I'm using an Nvidia GPU? Considering my classmate is using a AMD/ATI Radeon or something like that.
Again, to those who replied, your shared knowledge is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Using after effects inside premiere pro

I have the cs3 production pack and word on the street is that it is user friendly between different programs, but I am having problems using after effects inside premiere -for example I am in premiere and have a clip on my time line that I want to add some glow or rain to -so I copy the clip and bring it into premiere and I am not able to past it even though I have a file set up -if somebody can shed some light on this for me it would be great -I can't seem to grasp the program interchangeable feature thanks

Use After Effects and Premiere Pro CS4 with Creative Cloud license

I have a one-year license for Creative Cloud, but because I have a 32-bit version of Windows 7, I can't use After Effects and Premiere Pro. On the website I read that for users with a 32bit OS it is possible to use AE and PP CS4 with the CC license. But I can't find a way to download CS4 with my Creative Cloud account. Can anybody help me with this? Is it possible to download CS4 with a CC license?

I have marked the remark in red. It says: "If you want to use the Windows XP supported After Effects or Adobe Premiere Pro, you have to download the CS-4-versions of the software with your Creative Cloud Membership. U can also use these versions with a 32-bit Windows Operating System."

Style sheets (paragraph and character) not coping Special Effects

Couple of questions about ID CS3. I have been really digging into the guts of the application and can appreciate how powerful it is.
I am having a couple of problems and don't know if it is me or the app.
1. I can not get a NEW Paragraph or Character Style Sheet to copy the Special Effects (specifically the drop shadow and inner glow).
I have tried both by using the eye dropper, and the highlighting etc but nothing works. What am i missing?
2. Also, how can I change the Drop Shadow Distance from the default (.1375in) to something else (ie., .05)? Same thing for the Angle. I also want to change the Distance and Angle for the Inner Glow. I looked in Preferences but could not fine them there. I am afraid to ask when do I use them for Object and when for the text....I will figure that one out by playing with it.
3. And finally, how do I isolate moving an object. Even though the boundary boxes show up that I have a specific object selected, when I put the mouse in there to move it, some object underneath it moves. This is probably some technique I am not doing correctly.
I absolutely love this application and will appreciate any help in the above questions.
Thanks,
bob

Hmmmmmm not too sure what you are saying here (faking my way through applying it to a paragraph and anchored objects).
Lets say I have the following:
Chef Salad
We use the freshest lettuce, tomatoes..... bla bla bla
I wanted the name of the menu item (Chef Salad) to be 30 pt, Times New Roman, Red text (no container fill), drop shadow.
Lets also say I want the description (the Bla bla bla) to be 15 pt, Arial, Green text, and small drop shadow.
From what I understood you to say(write), I would have to make a Object style for Chef Salad (and I guess another Object style for the description)given that I want to use special effects.
What has been one of the more confusing things about ID (and believe me, I have been watching hours and hours of Lynda.com, Youtube, and reading a book/DVD on the subject) is when to use paragraph styles, Character styles and now Object styles.
Changing the parameters on these styles is not (to me) the difficulty. When and where to use a particular style is.
I don't want to keep bugging you so if you have someplace that really gets into the proper place and time to use these styles I will go there (if I haven't been there already).
However, if it is pretty easy for you to elaborate some more, that too would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks Bob
PS Nice looking web site you have.... I am up there viewing it now.

Special effects on videocamera

for some reason my ipod won't let me access the special effects for recording videos. i have no idea how to activate them and the site is not helping at all. anyone know what i can do? i really want to get it working as soon as possible, because it is needed for a school project.

Hello haley,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
What happens when you try to access them? From the user guide:
efore recording video, press and hold the Center button to display effects, then use the Click Wheel to browse and press the Center button to select. Press the Center button again to start recording.
That's not working?
If you are experiencing issues trying to access the special effects, have you tried resetting the iPod yet? To do this, toggle the hold switch on and off, then press and hold the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears. Then try again.

Special Effects Camera Troubles

My camera alone is working fine but my main problem is when I want to use special effects like in Photo Booth. It is either scattered parts of what is in the camera or just black blobs. I have already been to the Genius Bar so I don't know what to do next.

Welcome to Apple Discussions, Dallus
The link you post is to an animated "gif" file that has been posted to Apple's web site.
It appears that the gif file is created from several partial screen shots of the Photo Booth application in operation. Macs (including your MacBook Pro) that have built-in iSights include Photo Booth in their bundled software. Look in your Finder > Go > Applications folder.
Image editor applications like PhotoShop or PhotoShop Elements can be used to create and save animated gif files. Neither of these applications are part of your Mac's bundled software.
Click the linked words above for help getting started or search Finder > Help > Mac Help on your Mac for other help capturing images from your screen.

Dynamic Linked AE comp not using all cores in Premiere CS5 to render

I have a project that is taking forever to render and am trying to troubleshoot it. It has an AE comp that is used several times and seems to be the culprit. If i load that into after effects and render with my "use 7 of 8 cores with 1GB ram each" setting in afx then my cpu usage is about 80-90% and it renders that segment in 50 seconds.
Now when i link that into premiere and it is rendering along almost maxxing out all 8 cores until it hits that comp and then cpu usage drops down and only one core is at 80% and the rest are around below 20% and that segment takes almost 10 minutes for premiere to get through.
Now obviously i can pre-render that and replace the comp and the problem will be solved but i would much rather see premiere render at full speed like it should. Am i missing something? With multicore systems this would make dynamic linking almost worthless if it wont use them (and i LOVE dynamic linking, it is a GREAT feature)
system is win7, cs5, dual quad xeon (8 cores), GTX 460, and 20GB ram.
thanks!

> Am i missing something?
No, you're not missing anything.
This is a current limitation of using Dynamic Link between Premiere Pro and After Effects. When Premiere Pro calls the headless version of After Effects to render those frames, only one After Effects process is used.
We're working on improving Dynamic Link. If you'd like to influence where we put our effort, please make a feature request so that the folks deciding what work to do can register your vote.

Can't render quicktime movies in After Effects and Premiere

I've just bought and installed Creative Cloud on my new laptop using Windows 8. I installed Quciktime Pro after installing the Adobe programs. Whenever I try to render a project into a Quicktime movie in both After Effects and Premiere then it doesn't work, an error message comes up straight away and the render fails. There is no problem when rendering AVIs.
My version of Quicktime pro is up to date and have installed the recent updates for the Adobe programs. I'm sure I am doing something wrong but have no idea what it is.
If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
si

After Effects Won't Render Using H.264

OK, I am trying to use H.264 codec but I keep getting an error and I can't figure out why. I select (Composition > Add to Render Que), then I select "Output Module > Custom and select "Lossless" and select H.264 and then get the message below:
"After Effects: For reliable output with H.264 compression, please choose it directly from the Output Module Format menu instead of via QuickTime. (44 :: 81)"
So I then did as it said and selected the drop down arrow beside Output Module and then selected "Custom" and then selected H.264. and then I get the same message:
"After Effects: For reliable output with H.264 compression, please choose it directly from the Output Module Format menu instead of via QuickTime. (44 :: 81)"
An idea what's going on? Why does it give me this message when I am doing it the way it is telling me? How can I render using H.264?
Thanks

Are you using the trial version of After Effects?
from "Supported output formats":
"The free trial version of Adobe After Effects software does not include some features that depend upon software licensed from parties other than Adobe. For example, mocha for After Effects, some effect plug-ins, and some codecs for encoding MPEG formats are available only with the full version of Adobe After Effects software."
H.264 is an MPEG format (MPEG-4, part 10).

"The importer reported a generic error" when trying to import an After Effects file into Premiere.

Currently quite new to using both pieces of software - I'm trying to grab a file, either a save or an export, from After effects into Premiere. I've googled around, but I can't find anyone with a similar problem with it being an AE file.
Just looking for some advice on what to do.

Okay so I've searched around most of this forum and as much of Google as I could find - I have found similar problems, but nothing exactly the same; and none of the solutions I've found have worked for me. I've seen a lot of people having trouble connecting to the DL server on the file-selection window, but I don't even get that far - an error message just pops up in the middle of my screen - and my error doesn't mention a server, just that it can't connect to AE DL.
I changed firewall software (which I've wanted to do for months, anyway) and still to no avail.
As for the "The importer reported a generic error" problem also, I can't find any problems or solutions with After Effects files not being able to be imported.

Getting a U43M1D204 error when trying to update After Effects and Premiere Pro

Getting a U43M1D204 error when trying to update After Effects and Premiere Pro. I have tried reinstalling the cloud installer and all of my programs with no luck. HELP!! I need the update because I have no direct link from Speedgrade back to Premiere Pro

Can I use After Effects/Premiere Pro to change 29.97 to 23.97?

I shot footage on BMCC at 29.97 accidentally. I now need a way to change it back to 23.97 because the rest of my footage was shot like that. Anyway I can change this? Either using Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro? The footage is all on sticks with minimal movement. Can it look the same as 23.97? I've heard using Twixtor can fix this, but want to make sure there isn't any other way before I look into that. Thanks.

Twixtor will do a better job of it because it takes more parameters into account than AE does.
And get that frame rate straight! it's 23.976, not 23.97. Those tiny fractions can come back to bite you later on.
