Using text in FCPX bringing my system to a crawl

I have the latest and greatest iMac with the fastest graphics card and 32 GBs of RAM, but since the last update any time I place text on the timeline my system slows to a crawl.
I'm using the company font (Bliss 2), which has never caused me problems before. Also, I've noticed that if I delete the text or make it "not visible" then the system runs lightning fast again.
Anyone have an idea what's going on. I use titles and call outs a lot in my projects so this really messes up my mojo when I run into this issue.
Thanks for your help.
Ray

Hi Tom,
I've tried all of the above and still the same problem. I even changed to working in proxy, but anything on the timeline dealing with text still slowed everything to a crawl. Doesn't matter what font or project I'm working with. Most of the projects are small too. Less than 7 minuts in length and 720p. Any other ideas.
Thanks,
Ray

Spotlight mds bringing down system, constantly leaking RAM & disk access

Spotlight is going rampant here.
The mds (metadata server, aka Spotlight) process is constantly accessing the disk and writing some data to it, filling it until there is no space left on the device. I cannot find out what file it is writing to. I've tried with fsevener which sadly didn't help.
mds is also eating up all the CPU cycles it can get leaving my system fully loaded at all times.
The mds process is also taking up inceasingly huge amounts of memory, causing permanent swapping of memory and bringing the system to a grinding halt. (Cache Hits go down below 1%, About 250.000 pageins happen per minute.) Memory Footprint is going up to several hundred MB or real RAM.
$ vm_stat
Mach Virtual Memory Statistics: (page size of 4096 bytes)
Pages free: 53166.
Pages active: 275736.
Pages inactive: 135633.
Pages wired down: 59698.
"Translation faults": 10217862.
Pages copy-on-write: 136166.
Pages zero filled: 5983710.
Pages reactivated: 96772.
Pageins: 1236330.
Pageouts: 77113.
Object cache: 24391 hits of 1183451 lookups (2% hit rate)
(This is 95 minutes after reboot. Only running: Finder, Terminal, LaunchBar, Safari, Mail)
This bahaviour goes until the disk is full and I get a "low disk space" warning. Then mds crashes, the system frees up the (temporary?) files written by the process and also frees the RAM taken up by it. Resulting in even more swapping, as the system tries to page-in other processes now. Subseqently the system launches a new mds process and the game starts over.
Things I've tried to remedy:
Rebuilt spotlight index several times. Including totally deleting the .Spotlight-V100 folder on local volumes. Doesn't help, takes about 16 to 20 hours to rebuild on my machine, so is not a thing one wants to just-try.
Reinstalled 10.5.5 Combo Update, doesn't help. Privileges are repaired.
Turn off spotlight completely: Does indeed stop the madness, but now I cannot find anything on my system. So this is not a solution at all.
I've tried to keep the index small by excluding more and more stuff in the privacy settings of the Spotlight PreferencePane. This doesn't solve the problem either.
My System:
PowerBook G4 1.5GHz
2GB RAM (Maximum) (Tested with ASD ok, Rember ok. Different RAM modules, also ok.)
160GB HD (5GB free) (SMART ok, Blockscan ok, Filesystem ok, File privileges ok)
Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F33) including Security Update 2008/007 (no further updates available)
Any help or suggestions are welcome. I'm happy to provide any further details you may need.
Best regards

This probably isn't Spotlight so much as one of the index plugins (mdimporters). Spotlight itself is very robust, however, all it takes is a single bad indexing plugin. MDS, basically, identifies a file type and loads in a list of plugins that are registered for that file type and executes a routine in the plugin to grab the metadata. If the plugin is improperly written, it can go haywire.
Thanks for the suggestion, I already had checked that.
I don't have any custom (read non-apple provided) Spotlight or QuickLook Plug-Ins on my system. So it is unlikely that it is related to a custom .mdimporter Plug-In. (Might be a buggy Apple one going rampant though.)
I've personally found Spotlight to be quite a solid technology as well. Just the user interface provided by Apple is terrible and especially useless in the Finder (Taking away functionality, or making it horrific to use since Tiger… but that is another story.)
What was the last application that you installed prior to it going crazy? Perhaps one of the last 2-3...
Failing that, you can wipeout the metadata database for a Volume like so (from Terminal.app):
*sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/yourvolumehere*
... or '/' in place of '/Volumes/...' for the local disk. You can turn off metadata indexing for a volume entirely like so:
As I already said, rebuilding the index from scratch doesn't help. Completely deleting it, and rebuilding doesn't remedy as well.
*sudo lsof | grep mdimporter*
... which might help you understand what's being used to index, and this:
/System/Library/Spotlight/Chat.mdimporter/Contents/MacOS/Chat
/System/Library/Spotlight/iCal.mdimporter/Contents/MacOS/iCal /System/Library/Spotlight/Mail.mdimporter/Contents/MacOS/Mail
Nothing fancy here.

rather than mess around with all of this and maybe fix it until the next Spotlight problem manifests itself, why not just disable Spotlight with Spotless, and use EasyFind instead? Easyfind finds everything, has more options, is reliable, and doesn't cause problems .... and doesn't eat up any space on your hard drive.
...and doesn't find what I need. Thanks for the suggestions though. As I said, totally disabling Spotlight is not an option. I'll stay far away from mysterious tools, as I know what I am doing in a Terminal.

Using Text Tool Freezes Photoshop CC 2014.2 x64 release

I have just updated Photoshop CC to 2014.2.0 -- 20140926.r.236 x64 release. Now I am experiencing an issue when I use the text tool to just type a few words on a new document or layer. The application seems to freeze up as soon as I start typing? I wait several minutes with nothing happening and have to resort to using the Windows task manger to kill the photoshop processes. This did not happen before I updated to this release?? Please advise how to fix this if possible to [email protected].

Hi all ,
Im getting the below error , actually recently i created my own custom table zstudent, later i wrote select query to fetch data from the same and dump at internal table and then bind this to the table node.
But im getting below error, even i removed the select query still same error is occuring.

Thanks Rama,
Acutally i accidentally commented the lo_nd_student = wd_context ....etc
this line was commented .
i have one small requirement to fetch data from local customised table and fill the same to internal table and bind that to table node.
my table node is student having attributes as name , city and number , all are of type strings.
now i created one custom table zstudent having ID - char of length 10,
name of type string
city of type string
num of type string
i have inserted records
but when i use select query to fill data from this zstudent to my internal table of type lt_student type wd_this->elements_student ,
im getting same above error.

Cannot get text file to print in jtable. Using text file as a database

Instead of doing JDBC i am using text file as database. I cant get data from text file to print into JTable when i click find button. Goal is to find a record and print that record only, but for now i am trying to print all the records. Once i get that i will change my code to search desired record and print it. when i click the find button nothing happens. Can you please take a look at my code, dbTest() method. thanks.

Nothing happens because in the actionPerformed() method you are creating a new version of GUIdirectory. You just want to execute the dbTest() method of the current instance of GUIdirectory.
The code should be:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
//GUIdirectory gui = new GUIdirectory();
//gui.dbTest();
dbTest();

"Email body text field feature will be available in FP 1302 system the BO: /DOC/OM_DOCUMENT_OUT_REQ -> ROOT->ITEM->EMAIL_BODY_TEXT field is PSM write access is enabled."
"standard email

Is there any way to use embedded commands in text to create pauses when using text to speech in iOS 5? You can do it in OS X by typing [[slnc 2000]] to get a two-second pause.

Thanks for the reply Russ.
Yes, I've considered adding titles and/or generators in the FCPX storyline, but this creates a need to render the entire timeline. As I'm juggling library locations and hard drive spaces I just didn't want to add a new render that will occupy a lot of space. It's also a bit of visual clultter for me, so my goal is to find the best workflow for adding this stuff on or after export.

Best solution for bringing new systems up to date with software updates

I have read that I can create a non-deployed software update group that contains previous months patches and use that for reporting purposes to find out which systems do not have all the updates, but that is where my understanding falls short.
For some reason I am not getting how I can update new systems with all the updates before its existence in a domain, wrapped around my brain.
Can someone help me get this through my noggin please?
Thank you

I understand how to deploy SUGs to a dynamic collection.
This is my dilemma:
I currently piloting SCCM 2012 and bringing new systems into SCCM 2012 every 2 weeks to a month
I have a monthly Patch Tuesday ADR configured that creates the SUG, but does not enable deployment, so I can ensure everything is in order before I enable it
I then enable the deploy and target a collection that includes all of my pilot collections that consist of computers from remote sites so I do not have to deploy a SUG to each collection\
Now this works great for me, BUT many of these systems that I bring into SCCM 2012 every 2 weeks to a month do not have the patches installed on them, so I am trying to understand how I am supposed to get all of those previous patches deployed to them.
Can you tell me if this solution would work:
Put previous month's patches in a non-deployed compliance SUG and name it something like "2014 - Compliance Reporting" and use that for reporting purposes.
Create another SUG and name it something like "2014 - Compliance Deployment". Then deploy the "2014 - Compliance Deployment" SUG to a collection containing systems that do not have the updates installed on them from the "2014
- SUM Compliance Deployment" SUG.
OR
Do I just simply deploy the "2014 - SUM Compliance Deployment" SUG without running any report and let the clients figure out what to install?
OR
Do I tell the remote site admins to manually update the system by going to the Windows Update site and after that, allow SCCM to take over after the systems have all been updated that way?

Optimization of using text constants

Does Forms compiler optimize using text constants when it make *.fmx
file, if yes then how?
What I mean. In many cases Forms programmers use text constants to do
any actions, for sample:
- do_key('EXECUTE_QUERY');
- if (:system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY') then /* ... */ end if;
- execute_trigger('ON-POPULATE-DETAILS');
- show_alert('ASK_SAVE');
- go_block('ORDERS') or go_item('ORDERS.NAME');
- set_block_property(bid,DEFAULT_WHERE,':orders.pay > '||:r.pay_rate);
As I have undestood myself, Forms divide such constant on types:
- standart text constants('EXECUTE_QUERY','ENTER-QUERY' ...);
- user's text constants ('ASK_SAVE','ORDERS.NAME');
And Forms do any optimization with standart text constants: in *.fmx file
I found only one enter for every from such constants.
But for user's text constants Forms does not optimization: in *.fmx file
I found more then one enter for such constants.
If above is right then is there benefit from creating a package in form
module and creating constants in the package, that contain frequently used
user's text constants(block and items names, e.t.c.) and then writing down
in program these package constants instead of user's text constants?

I get to answer my own question. I found a workaround should you ever what to be sure a certain font is used and not replaced. Granted, this will add my download time but you at least can preserve the look.
Simply make any text with a shadow. But make the offset 0 and the transparency to 1 (you can't make it 0). You won't even notice the "shafow" and the text will be made into a graphic every time.

IF functions using text from a TextField

why wont if functions work when using text from a text field
here is an example:
ForeName=TextArea1.getText();
if(TextArea1.isEnabled()==true)System.out.println("1");
if(TextArea1.isEnabled()!=true)System.out.println("2");
if (ForeName=="")System.out.println("3");
if (ForeName!="")System.out.println("4");
if (ForeName==null)System.out.println("5");
if (ForeName!=null)System.out.println("6");
Output
1 //as expected
4 //??????
6 //??????

Change your ifs to ForeName.equals(""). You should pretty much only use ==, !=, >, etc. if you're comparing primitives (int, doubles, floats, etc.) For everything else, .equals is the way to go.

Using text links to open accordion panel

How do I use text links (from the page's main menu) to
programatically open a particular panel.
here is the page:
http://debrankin.com/tee/SITEDESIGN/
for example: I want to click on "Resumes and Cover Letters"
in the left hand menu to open the first accordion panel (by the
same name). I have this set this page so that all panels are closed
initially.
i know i'm missing something because this obviously does not
work: i've looked for documentation and this issue is inadequately
addressed!

Not really. The problem is that you have attempted to create
a
JavaScript object called accordion1 before the accordion HTML
is even
loaded into the browser. Moreover, the script that
initializes the
accordion is already in your HTML where it should be (after
the
accordion), but it uses Accordion1, not accordion1
(JavaScript is
case-sensitive.
Remove this after your menu.
> <script type="text/javascript">
> var accordion1 = new
Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
> </script>
Change the links in the menu to Accordion1.openPanel(0),
etc., and it
should work.

How can i use text only instead of text plus the folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar; older firefox allowed this.

I prefer using text only instead of text plus a folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar because it used less space and I can display more bookmark folders in that toolbar. Is that possible in Firefox 4.0? It was possible in the earlier versions of Firefox. If it is possible in Firefox 4.0 how do I do that? Thank you.

I would like to use slideshow in lightroom to export my video as a full screen 1920x1080 video with text overlays. I am using text overlay in lightroom as it reads from the metadata that is easy for me to input in the library screen. When i export from lightroom slideshow and choose the 1920x1080 resolution the end product is a very small video in the middle of a black background. i have double checked and do not have any borders turned on. Another option would be to export from the library but lr mogrify does not seem to put text overlays on video either. Any input would be welcome.

I dont understand anything you said in your post.
Do you have a specific question about video production?
The forums are for individual technical or creative issues that users have with video production. I am sur someone will be able to help you, but and to get a response it is best to ask a specific question.
Is this about a technical problem you have or something about setting up a web site? If its the latter this is the wrong forum.
