Using effects on still images freezing the app

New install of PP on a newly formatted MacPro running 10.8.2. When applying motion/scale effects to still images (6MB avg.) the app hangs up, beachballing. Project is not harmed after force quit - Adobe support can't figure this out.......have run diagnostics on hardware - nothing wrong, only running Premiere with assets on internal HD. Graphics card - AMD radeon HD 6770, 1024 MB
Ideas?

but when I write the dvd (using dvd studio pro) the pans and zooms aren't smooth they tend to have little shocks every know and then, its as if they start then they can't handle the frame rate and skip a few frames.
anybody any idea about this? and how to make sure it doesn't do that anymore
Assuming the movie is free of problems before the DVD (which it may not be based on your last post) the problem you describe can be caused by too high a bit rate in the encoding.
Try encoding at a lower rate and see if that helps. In no cases should it go over 7 mbps.
Also, still images are problematic. If you are having a flickering (strobing) effect as they move, try these things (In increasing order of image degradation):
- field order>none - you don't need fields with still images initially
- reduce whites to 90% - this reduces overly bright areas
- (in Photoshop) motion blur>vertical>1-2 pixels - this blurs vertically only
- (in FCP) Gaussian blur> 1-2 pixels - this blurs both horizontally as well as vertically
- deinterlace - this throws away half the image and is generally not appropriate on scanned images
The flickering is a result of very thin horizontal elements/elements that exist on one scanline. As the alternate fields play the one element is essentially being turned on/off. The basic strategy is to get the element to exist over two scanlines so it is refreshed every time the field plays.
good luck.

    I've found a new way .. I restart the phone manually. And it works. But sometimes , the Problem reappears and sometimes it doesn't . But when it does , its just too annoying. Therefore, restarting the phone manually is a temporary solution. But what's the permanent solution for it? Let's wait and hope that someone comes up with one.
    And I hope this restarting hint solves your problem too.
    P.S- instagram or any other app won't make a difference. That's what i think .. Cz I don't have that app on my iPhone.

  • So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

    So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

    If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
    If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

  • Dragging a large still image from the browser into the viewer crashes FCP

    Okay, I've not seen this problem until just a couple days ago but was wondering if it was just me or if everyone has this problem? I've found a work-around, but let me explain the problem first.
    I'm creating a growing up photo montage. I scanned all of the pictures myself at 300 dpi (as I've always done in the past) and saved them as TIF files. Some pictures as relatively small, i.e. 3.5 mb is size and do just fine, but it appears anytime I drop a picture into the viewer in preparation for the the timeline, it will crash FCP if the image file is any larger than about 5 or 5.5 MB. Now I know there is a limit on the resolution of a still and it shouldn't be any larger than 4000 pixels in either direction, but that is not my problem, the problem appears to occur with large files. I've used large still files before in past projects without any problem, so this is why I'm stumped. I've went as far as trashing my preferences, but that didn't change anything. I've even tested a still image from a past project that was something around 9 MB (or was it 19 mb?) in any case, it also crashed FCP but... I've used that picture before in past projects without any problem. I even created a new test project just in case my project file itself had a problem.
    My work-around is to simply drop the still image from the browser directly into the timeline, thus bypassing the viewer. This works every time without a hitch. I can even double-click on the still now setting in the timeline to load it into the viewer so I can add effects or keyframes or whatever without any problems (thank goodness). So, has anyone else experienced this problem or is it just me?

    Is this image saved in a colorspace mode that is anything other than RGB?
    CMYK & Grayscale images will cause problems.
    Some light reading regarding your choice of 300 dpi: http://www.scantips.com/no72dpi.html
    Unless you plan on panning and zooming your images, the best procedure is to use one of the video preset templates in Photoshop and paste your content into it. Scale and position using the Transform controls. For best results save as a TIFF without compression. Don't forget, always in RGB colorspace.

  • With iOS 7 and certain apps I get a message that ask me to connect to iTunes to receive notifications. After clicking "OK" it comes back repeatedly and freezes the App: Friends, Dropbox, among others. The only way to escape is to shut down and restart.

    With iOS 7 and certain apps I get a message that ask me to connect to iTunes to receive notifications. After clicking "OK", it comes back repeatedly and freezes the App: Friends, Dropbox, among others. The only way to escape is to shut down and restart. I think this is a "bug" with older apps. How can I solve it in orther to use the apps? It doesn´t occur with my iPad, only with my iPhone 5.

    Thankyou for your kind answer: with Dropbox, it solved the problem; with Friends, still the same

  • After Effects is not available in the apps list

    After Effects is not available in the apps list on creative cloud that I just downloaded.
    I tried to download it from the site, but It would automatically launche creative cloud which, again, doesn't include after effects !!
    What should I do ?

    Apparently I'm using 32-bit operating system
    and AE requires 64-bit support. 

  • I'm getting a still image in the beginning of my movie when I export. Why??

    I don't understand why FCP is doing this. I export a bunch of movies (using batch export) and some of them export right while others get messed up. There would be a still image in the beginning or sometimes the end instead of seeing the actual movie. I can still hear the sound so it's only a problem with the video.
    Because I use QT compression to export I don't have the option to re-compress all frames like in the "export using QT movie" command... right?
    Help me out here. It's driving me crazy having to export everything a few times until final cut gets it right... Thanks.

    NLEdit,
    Here's what I have (to the best of my knowledge):
    Original source: mini DV tape, it's all HD
    I use capture now to digitize the whole tape. My easy setup is: HDV- 1080i60 FiriWire Basic. After I have digitized all of it - it's an .mov file with the settings I just posted above. So when final cut is done digitizing I already have all the files in my browser window and I just drag them and drop them in the timeline and I choose to match the timeline settings if they're different. So my timeline settings look like this:
    Frame Size: 1440x1080
    Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
    Compressor: HDV 1080i60
    When I'm done editing, I use batch export to export a bunch of sequences (they all have the same settings I just mentioned above) and I chose:
    Format: QuickTime (custom), Compression Type H.264, frame rate: 29.97 fps, key frames: every 24frames, compressor quality- high, encoding: best quality. Then for size I choose either 1280x720 HD or I use "custom" to make them half the size of that so that would be 640x360. My point is to end up with an .mov file which I can then encode into an flv or just burn it on a data cd.
    As for your question number 1: I'm not even sure what you mean by that.
    Does all that make any sense now?

  • Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

    Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project.  I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there.  When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine.  But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing.  Help!

    Many thanks for the reply with the details.
    But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
    I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
    at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
    Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found

  • How do you create a rolling title that ends on a still image of the title?

    How do you create a rolling title that ends on a still image of the title?

    Here's the help page that describes using the tab stops:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS35CA53B6-EAFF-499a-A600-DCD85686354Da.html
    Let me know if that's clear as mud and I'll try to shed more light on the subject.
    One thing that isn't specified/clarified/whatever (and was the biggest stumbling block for me when I first tried this in PPro 1.5) is that the ruler for the tab stops is zeroed at the edge of the text box, and tab stops ONLY work in text boxes (or "text area," however you please). At any rate, you have to position that ruler so that the zero point is at the left edge of your text box, and then the rest of the instructions in the help doc will make sense.
    Also, it's useful to show the tab markers while you work. Just go "Title > View > Tab Markers" and you're good.
    Hope this helps!
    As a side, I have found that this one feature is really the best and most useful part of the PPro titler (and also, just about the only function in the titler that WON'T cause your system to crash on a regular basis).

  • How do I get an App back on my home screen that I can still open in the App Store?

    I deleted an app from my home screen as I wasn't using it.  I decided I wanted to use it again so went into the App Store Purchased section.  The app has Open next to it, and it does open that way, but I'm unable to get the icon back on my home screen.  We've looked online and attempted to answer it that way but haven't seen the specific issue I'm having (so the suggestion regarding the cloud doesn't work). 

    Go to settings> general> usage> if the app is listed there delete and reinstall it.

    I would recommend closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Test the App Store after processing these steps.
