Very slow export on images containing brush adjustments

I'm currently on the trial version with Aperture and I enjoy the software so far. One quite annoying issue is that it seems that images containing brush-adjustments take ages to export into any format. When exporting the images to PS4 it hangs totally.
Images with only global adjustments export just fine. Also drag/drop an image (even with adjustments) out of Aperture onto the desktop for example works perfectly fine with no issues. Exporting the same into a smaller jpg onto the desktop takes minutes.
I did all the usual fixes, like deleting .plist files, rebuilding/repairing libraries and so on, but nothing did the trick.
Does anyone have an idea how this could be fixed?
update: and yes... I do have the feeling that this is a newer problem. Can it be related to the "pro-application" update recently? Because I have the feeling that prior to that it worked just fine...

Safari 7.1.2 very slow with web pages containing flash animations

Hello,
Since I haved installed the last flash plugin update, safari 7.1.2 (mac os 10.9.5) is very slow on pages containing flash stuff.
Already try to clean "cache.db", "reinitialize safari" from "safari menu", does not work ...

Suddenly very slow export

Hi. Basically, my export has gone very slow. I will give what details I can, but the main thing here is that I am doing what I have always done, but suddenly it is going very slow. I export to MPEG2 DVD as that goes straight onto a DVD without further render in my Sony DVD maker program. Export in Premiere usually takes between 30 and 40 minutes. Latyest project is warning me of over 3 hours! I thought I would ask here before waiting and seeing if it still works okay in case there is an obvious answer. MPEG audio, multiplexer on, maximum mrender depth, CBR slider set to make a file that will be as large to preserve quality and still fit on a DVD (I go for around 4GB or just over) Stick to CBR as the estimated file size is more accurate than messing about with VBR sliders. Projects are standard definition, two video sources mixed (full DV) and separate sound source added and synchronised. I film stage plays with two cameras. Projects typically between one and a half and two and a half hours long. This project is actually at the lower end. No other obvious problems with the PC in general. Is it worth a system restore? It was fine for a project similar size rendered last week. I am asking befoire i try system restore as they are getting hard to do. They never seem to work unless I remove all my virus protection stuff! CAn I think of anything different about this project? Well, only that the venue I was filming in was not quite level, resulting in a bit of an angle that I corrected by tilting the film just a few degrees. (Only affecting the part of the picture that would be off the TV screen) just to make the stage look level. I often do this with a few shots from one of the cameras, but maybe not the whole film for both cameras like in this case. I even tried pressing enter and doing that render thingy before export. That did not help. Maybe that is just to get something better in the preview window. Normally it just takes around half an hour or just over. Media player can be a bit crackly and choppy playing the rendered movie, but then it is always fine on the DVD so I just put that down to windows media playing being a bit rubbish and not important in my case. Sorry if I have neglected to tell you anything important. I usually get told off for this on this forum, but I have tried to give you details about the settings I am using. The main thing is that I am only doing what I usually do. If I was exporting to a different format I might expect a different time. I can tell you that I got bored waiting and cancelled a few times before coming on here. A couple of times the screen went very white and said windows would close the problemn and notify me of any solution. Program closed but no useful information (I would not really have expected Windows to give me any!). Maybe someone here can? I suppose I had better wait for the three hours or more and at least see what comes out, but cant help being scared it will freeze at 37.34 percent and I will give up after waiting three weeks! But any suggestions would be helpful. Sorry not very tech-savvy so please keep it to plain English. Thanks in advance

Without knowing your computer specs, hard to comment on how long an export ought to take. However, you said yourself that you may have applied rotation to much of the video, and perhaps that is slowing things down from normal.
Please check that your hard drives are defragged and are not getting more than 70-80% full as performance can quickly degrade. I would turn OFF the "Max Bit Depth" and "Max Render Quality" if being used. Should not be needed for DV clips going to DVD. As for pre-rendering the timeline, not recommended. This just adds another layer of compression (quality loss) to the final render, IF you check "Use Previews" in the Export area. If not using Previews, then it is all getting re-rendered anyways, so just a waste of time and drive space really, unless playback is so terrible that you want to render a section to check the results before exporting.
I notice you have MultiPlexing ON for the export - is that how the Sony DVD software wants it? Most authoring programs (like Encore) perform better with separate elements of audio and video, meaning the .wav and .m2v files. Reason being that the DVD program will usually be creating Dolby (AC3) audio for the final DVD, so if you feed it the raw elements, it can convert the .wav to .ac3 quickly, and will NOT need to transcode the video. If you Mux (combine) the audio and video, the audio has then been compressed to lossy MPEG audio, then the DVD software needs to separate the audio and video and re-encode them again in most cases. Not the best workflow. Unless your final DVD uses MPEG audio, but I'm not sure that is a legal part of the spec worldwide, is normally PCM or AC3 for player compatibility.
Not a big fan of anti-virus programs, have found many of the popular ones to really take over and bog down the system. Personally, I use and recommend the free solution of Microsoft Security Essentials. My computer, and those of my kids, have been virus-free the last couple of years since going to that solution, and I see no decrrease in performance and it runs in the background totally transparent to me.

Very slow export to quicktime movie

Its taking over an hour to export a minuet and a half QT file. FC seemed to export the file correctly at first but after the timing bar reached 100% and dissapeared, FC imediantaly went into the spining beach ball of death, then finally snapped out of that and now is "writing Video..." extreemly slow. Activity monitor and Force Quit say that FC is not responding for a few minuets but snaps out of that eventually.
This issue seems to happen randomly as I have seen it take place on three seporate machines, each with different media files. All media is formatted the same way and exported the same way. This issue does not happen every time a QT is exported, but is happening enough to be a concern.
Below is the set up I am working on.
* FCP HD 5.1.1
* Imac Intel w/ 2gb ram
* project saved on local drive
* media saved to external Graid drive via firewire 400 w/ 107.69 GB available
* shot and edited footage in project is DVCPRO HD 720p60
Exporting to a QTmovie as the following:
* 00:01:45:25 duration
* DVCPRO HD 720p60 compressor
* self contained
* frames not recompressed on export
I have tried this process excluding the external drive working 100% locally and have encountered similar slow behavior. FCP Preferences have been deleted. This issue is not a specific project dependent occurrence, as I have made test projects each of which only contained 3 media files roughly 700mb to 1.5gb in size each all shot DVCPRO HD 720p60. I do not think it is a corrupt media file issue.
Anyone have any insight as to why this is taking place?
My best guess is that it has something to do with the DVCPRO HD 720p60 codec. As a side note, I have expericensed failed renders in After Effects which used the DVCPRO HD 720p60 codec but the same project rendered fine using the Animation codec.
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not very familiar with hd and it's export options, but since you don't seem to be changing anything during the export why are you using Compressor? Do you not have the option to "Export QT Movie" using "current settings".
Sorry if I'm misreading something or am off base with the HD export options.

Building PDF file very slow when pmd file contains many eps files

I have a 64 page publication which contains a placed .eps file on each page. (The .eps files are the output of a music notation program and average about 60KB).   I have a new computer with a fast quad pentium processor. It takes 10 minutes to export a pdf file (It took 45 minutes on my old computer!).
The time is spent in the first phase, where the little window says "Sending page 1,2...etc. The pages crawl by. PageMaker is CPU bound.
PDF export option or distiller settings appear to have little affect on this.
It was my understanding that eps files, ps files, and pdf files are all similar in structure. What is taking so long here?
10 minutes is not a lot in the scheme of things right now but this is part of a much bigger book and I am concerend about how much time this process is going to take when we are up to 600 pages.

Well if you don't know, I doubly don't know.
I looked at that lon g list of possible reasons for the Courier substitution, and most or all of them don't seem to apply. I have no PostScript printer, just an inkjet for drafts. We NEVER print from PageMaker for any of our work. We make PDFs. We either print the PDFs here for draft work, or send them out to the printer when we are done.   All the fonts involved are TT fonts. Whe n I make a .ps file I use PrinterStyles->Acrobat, and actually I've only been doing that to investigate this performance problem to isola te what phase of the process is slow.   Normally I just use the PageMaker Export PDF function and it has worked fine with many customers, many publications, over 10 years.
I'm going to try to fiddle with some of these embedding options to see what arises.
It is suspicious that posting this problem in the Sibelius forum elicits no response. This cannot be an uncommon workflow in music publishing - use PageMaker for the book framework and place Sibelius scores when needed.   Any kind of music textbook would have this flow.
Do you by any chance know the algorithm for locating fonts when some are referenced and/or imbedded in placed .eps files, and others, possible duplicates, are referenced by the PageMaker document. Understanding that would be the key to unlocking this puzzle.
Also Jay Chevako asked for the .pdf files. I will get around to that when I can, I'm not sure what you will infer - the first one will be correct but slow to export and the second will be fast but with the Courier substitution.
Thanks

Very Slow Scrolling with Images

I'm running Framemaker 11 on a Windows 7, 64-bit machine with an i7 processor at 2+ ghz and 8.0 MB RAM.
My Frame files, with imported/referenced images, are scrolling extremely slowly. When I say slow, I mean as the page scrolls into view it freezes for 10 - 20 seconds before "catching up" and displaying the page.
I have a "background" image on my master pages that contains simple graphics for the top header and some borders to delineate areas of the page. Those backgrounds are imported. Thjese imported files are about 1.1 MB.
My remaining images are imported by reference on the various body pages. They are .ai files and are 2.5 - 5 (ish) MB in size.
I've been searching for an answer. My deadline is going to pass my by while I wait for pages to load. Please help!

> ... I have read that JPGs aren't the way to go in FM ...
We convert them to EPS as well. EPS does raster. It does, however, always come in at "100%" in FM, and you cannot learn the dpi from FM. You can choose CYMK or RGB, depending on your color management needs.
> any advice on a better file type for screenshots and photos?
Screenshots are a different matter. Because they tend to contain long repeats of single pixel colors, we use TIF for that, as they compress well with any of the repeat-count compressions. You could also use EPS, but the FM preview is apt to be illegible.
A challenge with screen shots is avoiding having them re-sampled during render to PDF. I would recommend importing them at native res (typically 72 or 90 dpi), and keeping that below the threshold for whatever resampling is done in PDF print, Distill or Acrobat Optimize. If you need to scale screenshots, use integer multiples or fractions, and "nearest neighbor".
> ... although my graphics designer is throwing an absolute fit because the images look horrible when viewing them in FM.
You can improve EPS (and PDF import) preview by using the scaling trick (up to 500%) or so. Rescale the source image up (elect rescale stroke and effects) before saving to EPS. Rescale down after import to FM. The final file size won't change materially for vector art, and won't be much different for contone raster if your rendering workflow is set to resample down to what they were to begin with. The preview will be 4x sharper, but still indexed color.
Naturally. there is a small performance penalty for using the scaling trick. Also, the previews are metadata that will survive into, and inflate the size of the PDF, unless redacted downstream (Examine Document in Acrobat Pro; later versions of PDF printing and Distill may have an option for that too).
Another preview performance killer is rotation. Anything other than importing at 0 degrees can send FM off into la-la land.
Bad network fs performance can bog you down too.

Very slow Export to Media Encoder and Media Encoder connecting to dynamic link server

My flow is this: Open After Effects CC, import an image sequence, go to File > Export > Add to Adobe Media Encoder Queue...
Every other time i do this it will take 2-3 mins before Media Encoder even shows the splash screen, then it'll take another 1-2 mins to open.
Next, I'll select my custom preset over on the right side of the window, then hit the Play button to begin encoding. Sometimes nothing will happen at all, sometimes I'll see the Orange stripped bar on the lower left and the message Media Encoder connecting to dynamic link server and that'll last 5+ minutes and I end task to get out of AE and ME. Sometimes, ME will begin encoding right away and zip through the small animation sequence quickly without issue.
I have WIndows 7 Pro, I'm on a work network with access to the internet and AE has been updated 24 days ago. I have a subscription and I'm signed on. However, sometimes I do not have the Creative-Cloud icon in my systray.
Thanks,

Thanks. I have 16GB Ram, 64bit Win7, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3970X @ 3.50GHz 3.50GHz. AE is set to have maximum disk cache of 46GB. RAM reserved for other applications: 5GB RAM available for AE, PR, Pl, (some triangular icon [edit] which is ME ), Ps: 10GB. nothing else checked on that screen.
Typically just a mail client, 1 or 2 sessions of Firefox, 1 or 2 network folders open when i launch AE.
The last couple of times specifically, i had a 450 frame animation sequence at native 720p. then i added a curves layer on top of it in AE, then added two ~600x300px logos, one in each lower corner, then added a new solid layer which i used as a vignette. Finally over that i added a 720p still image which i held for another 15 seconds beyond the animation.
For the above, i ended-task, rebooted, brought it up again and it lauched ME quickly, then i got the stripped bar and connecting message until i ended task on that, then the 3rd time was the charm - everything opened quickly and it began to encode quickly.
The next three uses late afternoon yesterday were 150 frame animations at 480x270 and they all seemed to work fine. I created the sequence in 3ds max, then closed and went into AE. Then I'd close AE render another sequence, back into AE etc...

Experiencing very slow text and image editing. How can i speed up this laggy-ness??

Brochure template I created myself is responding terribly to editing and manipulation. I'm thinking it could have been a problem with the amount of layers I added on PS elements 12, but I compressed the file and I'm still was having this extremely slow response. I went through the re-installation process and troubleshooting with updates and whatnot but they proved to be unsuccessful.

ZCM 11 very slow Windows 7 image restore

Hello NG
In our enviroment we work with ZCM11. We made a Windows 7 image. The zcm
filesize is about 4.7 GB. The disksize is 40 GB.
Now the restore take long time. For restoring 4.7 GB Zenworks Imaging need
about 85 Minutes. It can not be true!!
The cause why ZCM imaging has problems is the winsxs folder, with a lot of
small files. Here ZCM do lose much time.
Does exist a patch or hotpatch that do solve this issue?
Regards
Ramon

Hi Domicicm
could you send me a link where i can download this imagex tool? I didn't
find a third party software for imaging.

hi ramon, if you read older posts on this concern, yes it is "normal"
.... it seems that's the limitation of the actual imaging engine (10.3
or 11).
I'm in the same boat as you, Novell recommends to use imagex the
third-party tool, that works really fast (about 12 min to restore an
win7 image, even with the winsxs folder) but the problem with imagex is
we can't multicast, so big problem here..... no real solution, and
Novell is expecting to release a new Imaging Engine for about the
spring....

Very Slow Export

Any suggestions?

Some types of exports take a lot longer. When I convert HD files from one format to another HD format, it takes all day. Some files take multiple days.

Creating ImageIcon from Image is very slow

Hi I have a program which reads a number of files which may contain (amongst other things) image data in various formats such as JPG.I read scale this down into an image object fine, and then I want to display a small version of it on screen so I put the scale dimage into an ImageIcon which i display later using a JLabel.
Anyway it runs very slow , the funny thing is using JProbe Ive tracked the problem down to creation of the ImageIcon constructor, the actual thumbnail image creation is very quick.
Why does ImageIcon take so long or is there a simple way of displaying the image in a Swing Application
without using JLabel.
BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(new DataInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(imageData)));
Image thumbnaiImage = image.getScaledInstance(20,20Image.SCALE_FAST);
ImageIcon thumbnail     = new ImageIcon(thumbnailImage);

If you're not too picky about the image quality (and I see you're using SCALE_FAST), you can set the
source subsampling on your ImageReadParam so that you never construct the large image: you start
with the thumbnail.

}It is also possible for there to be thumbnail images stored in an image file. (These thumbnails

so if you have control over your image files you can create them with thumbnails in place.

Export very slow

Exporting photos as JPG at 300 pixels per inch has become very slow.
I using Lightroom V1.1, Windows XP home SP2, P4 3GHz, 1GB ram, 300 GB SATA with 115 GB free.
It has taken 1 hour to export 130 JPG files converted from a 6.1 mega pixel camera raw file. I think it use to be much faster. My library contains 12266 photos (JPG, TIFF, and Raw).
I've recently added more disks to my computer. I'm looking into disk defragmentation and anti-virus software to see if these are contributing to the problem. I'm using McAfee Virus Scan and anti-spy ware 8.5i (enterprise).
Also note that my export directory is a sub-directory of my main photo directory which is c:\photos.
I also check some previous exports from earlier this year. It took 10 minutes to export 112 photos similar in nature (raw to jpg).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Exporting is VERY slow in LR 4.4 on MacPro

Hi,
I use LR 4.4 on a MacPro with tons of memory and space.
This week I deleted ALOT of images and saved the catalog upon quitting.
Today photos are exporting SUPER slow so I cleared all caches on my mac and re-started, yet slow export persists. Also emptied the cache which has 20 GB set.
Any ideas what else I can do to speed up exporting?
Maybe there is another cache or preference to delete?
thanks so much, Teri

Thanks so much DJ, appreciate your kind help!
I never optimize but am doing so now… however system is saying I optimized yesterday, when I backed-up upon quitting.
Does the optimization happen as part of the catalog back-up upon quitting?
Yes, the slow to export images had a lot of gradated filters and brush strokes as I did some retouching… sounds like this retouching work can slow down the export?
thanks again for shedding some light on this!

Live Cam Voice on HP DV8305 -- Video image very slow

I installed Live! Cam Voice on my HP DV8305 succussfully, it works, but the video image is very slow. it needs about 30sec to capture a frame, sometime just stucked. I changed the Display Adaptive Driver, used differrent USB IF, checked my CPU and Memery usage, my HD space, use differrent IM -- skype, MSN, .... Any one can help?

As further information, the issue seems to be with the exposure setting. When I turn auto exposure off, then set exposure down as low as it will go, the picture darkens, but the frame rate goes up. I don't have this problem with my Logitech QuickCam Orbit -- I'm not sure if the problem is with the firmware, or if the CMOS sensor in the Live! Cam Voice is just smaller.

Export to text file very, very slow

Hi, I am running 2.1.0.63 and doing an export of a query to a text file. The export was 66000 rows, but took incredibly almost around 2 hours to finish. The row counter in the status bar was very slow. The same exact query/export under 1.5.4 ran in about 5 mins. The row counter on both the fetching and exporting was just flying by.
Has anybody else experienced this ? What could be causing it to run that slow under this release ?
The other issue I have is once there has been no activity for a while, sqldeveloper hangs has to be restarted. I saw this being addressed in another post however, and will follow it there.
Any ideas on when a patch will be made available to this release ?
BTW, I really like some of the other new features of this release.
Thanks,
Mark

Ok, I think the issue was that I was exporting to a shared network drive. I redid it, saving it locally and it worked fine.
I still have the issue of inactivity and having to restart sqldeveloper.
Thanks.
