Very Slow Previews

Adobe Bridge used to generate the thumbnail previews of my DV video clips as fast as Windows Explorer when in Thumbnails view. However, something happened that is causing Bridge to do this MUCH slower. It used to generate 2 or 3 thumbnails per second - bip...bip...bip - right down the line, very little processing power used. Now it generates one preview every 2 or 3 seconds and pegs my processor at 100%.
Anyone have any ideas here?

My bridge was doing the slow thing too. Using some of the tips already posted here I made it better, but not great.
First off, my raw cache was still pointing to my default C drive location and set to 1 GB. I boosted the size up to 4GB and moved it to a physical drive that is neither the program drive nor the windows swap drive.
Then I adjusted my bridge cache to its max size and pointed it to the non program and non swap drive. Now it's on the same drive as my raw cache.
Instead of purging the caches I closed bridge and deleted the .dat files from my raw cache directory and I deleted the entire data directory used by bridge's cache.
I also set the thumbnails to high quality thumbnails instead of convert to high quality when previewed. I just don't want to use quick thumbnails, but it might be even faster.
If I thought clicking my heals together three times and chanting "I just want to go fast" would help, I would do that too!!
Cheers

  • Very slow preview speed

    After building a page with panels inside accordian container I'm noticing very slow preview times. Is this likely to be the case after publishing the site? The panels hold 3 to 4 Youtube or Vimeo videos. So there could be up to 20 videos inserted into the accordian layout.

    As long as the videos are not set to auto play you should be fine. When you preview are you previewing in Muse or in Browser? Generally in most cases viewing in browser will give you a better idea.

  • Very Slow preview rendering for lightroom 5 on import

    I am seeing very very slow rendering of preview images only when using the import function in lightroom 5. By slow, I mean for a shoot of 60 shots in raw, it could take 30 minutes before I can preview them all in the pane to see which ones I want to actually import. This was not an issue with lightroom 4. It is not an issue when using lightroom. Previews are fast there, even for images I've never pulled up before.
    My hardware is a PC, with an intell i7 chip, and 16 gig of memory. My nvidia graphics card has the latest drivers.
    I've seen a few others reporting this issue, so I'm trying to log it as a bug. Even though the dial up support text on the adobe lightroom says available 24/7, it now plays a voice recording that says only available m-f.

    I'm having the same problem using Windows 7 (64b). I just took a shoot over the weekend for a significant birthday event. Now I can't load the photos. The work-around doesn't work as the program freezes before I get the chance to select the camera under "files".
    I recently upgraded from 3.6 to 5 as I was also noticing a slowdown in the import function. That turned out to be a bad move I think. I also deliberately cleaned up the CF card and removed all my video recordings, as this seems to be reported as part of the problem, but to no avail.
    This seems to be a pretty major bug to have in a major release that's been around for a while now, that I'm expected to pay for, and no sign of a resolution to date!

  • [Camera Raw] Very slow previews on SSDultaniously

    I need to work on 36 files (about 20Mb each) simultaneously opened in Camera Raw. I'm using the adjustment brush, the problem is that each file take 4-5 second to load and show me the preview. This is taking a lot of time.
    The fact is that i'm now working on a SSD Hard drive, but nothing changed.
    Is there a change to cut out dead times?
    that's my current system:
    MacPro 2 Quad Core 3Ghz Intel Xeon
    Samsung SSD 128GB
    Radeon X1900 512Mb Ram    
    10GB of ram 667mhz
    Snow Leopard 10.6.2
    Adobe Photoshop CS4
    Adobe Bridge CS4
    Camera Raw 5.5.0.97    
    Is that a resolvable problem or there's nothing to do?
    Thanks
    Filippo

    another problem, when I go back to an already processed file (without quitting camera raw), CR realoads again the file... It shouldn't work that way! I've tried lightroom and it keeps memory of files (a bit), but LR doesn't fit in my workflow... and there's still the problem of the first loading...

  • Very slow preview of AE (12.1) .FFX files in Bridge (6.0)

    Hi there, I hope someone can help me with following:
    In AE (12.1) clicking on Presets, all the options to choose from are there but it takes a unworkable lot of time to see them in the loop previewing.....
    I have already cleaned up the personal preferences file and can see that over 400 plugins are installed (if that helps to sort out)
    Only 2% of 8 Gb RAM is used.
    Anyone any idea where to start to resolve this??
    Your input is highly appreciated!

    Make Sure you have the latest updates. 12.1 is not the latest.
    6.0 isn't either:
    If that does not fix the problem answer this. What OS are you running? What else is open? What are your memory allocations in AE (did you leave enough memory for other apps)? Does Bridge work fine when AE is not running? Did Bridge ever work well on your system? If it did, what changed on your system?

  • When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

    When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue.

    Hi Jdentremont,
    Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
    the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
    deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
    To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
    1.  Navigate to
     “X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
    You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
    2. Delete all the files in this folder.
    3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
    %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
    4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
    5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
    Best regards,

  • Print preview using crystal report in SAP B1 is very slow.

    Dear all,
    I face another problem. Print preview using crystal report in SAP B1 is very slow. Although i have create a layout in AR invoice form  and applying the print sequences (ie 4 prints). Does any one know how to print preview fast. Just like in PLD.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Basically Crystal report run with SQL statement, I would suggest to do well performance tuning on SQL query / Store Procedure.
    Structure your query in DBA manner that will make some how faster such as use ( inner join, less condition,...)..
    also if it simple query then use Command in Crystal report rather store Procedure..that make some how Faster your report.
    Thanks

  • Preview rendering Very Slow

    Hi,
    Can anyone help with Preview.app slow rendering issue for large PDF files, it is very slow after upgrading to lion. (AutoCAD drawings that are PDFed)
    Small PDF documents are fine.

    Hi Guys I work with a lot of pdf files with being a student at uni and not sure these tips might help. 
    Try an app called skim which is free it handles pdfs nicely and looks similar to the preview app. 
    Also if a pdf is slow to scroll try selecting all the pages goto file print.  Then on the bottom left hand side of the print window select pdf and then save as pdf.  I have found on some pdfs (usually the ones in black and white and look like a photo copy) using the the print save as pdf option has then allowed me to view a pdf fine in the preview app without any issues.  Hope this is useful.
    I suspect its to do with pixels per inch or dots per inch of the document.

  • Preview very slow with .nef photos

    My preview works well for .jpg but not .nef.
    Open folder, select 'all' right click, open with 'preview'. Very slow & jerky.
    Used to work fine with .nef in Mt. Lion.
    Any ideas?

    Same issue here, and 10.10.2 brings no solution… Haven't you heard yet, Apple is the new Microsoft?!
    Anyway, here a few tips to speed up Preview at least a bit, so one can use it for work again:
    tip1:
    Delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist
    Delete ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.windowserver*.plist
    Shutdown OSX
    Startup, immediately press and hold the P and R keys while holding down the option (⌥) and command (⌘) keys before the gray boot screen appears, which resets the PRAM
    tip2:
    Turn off "Smooth Text and Line Art" in the Preferences. Of course, that's really sad, because PDFs then look terrible, but at least they are easier to work with.
    tip3:
    For just viewing, use QuickLook: in the Finder, select the PDF and hit [SPACE]. Strangely, QuickLook isn't affected by the bug.
    Anyway, those workarounds helped me a bit (thanks to those who posted them), but of course it's no proper solution. The last option would be to go back to Mavericks.
    I heard the problem was reported to Apple when Yosemite was in beta, summer 2014. Nothing happened so far. Apple really has to get its act together…

  • JDeveloper 11g Tech Preview 4 Very Slow

    How to increase the the working speed (cache) of JDeveloper 11g tech preview 4. While coding it is taking time to get it typed. During scrolling the page, it is moving very slow.

    Thank you for your attention

    And to back up John's words, the TP releases were designated for non-production "preview" use only, were not optimised in anyway, have huge amounts of bugs and are not supported. Best upgrade or you're going to have further issues.

  • Preview - very slow re-draw

    HI all
    One thing I've noticed in leopard is the new preview is very slow to re-draw when I have multiple image files loaded in. As a hit the next arrow it forms the next pic in big slow blocks unlike the previous preview that switched smoothly no matter how large the images were.
    Has anyone else experienced this

    I opened the pdf guide which is on the Leopard install disc. The whole machine went into a mini freeze state and then it eventually loaded. In tiger I have opened pdf's that were over 300mb in size and whilst there was an initial load it did then populate each page.
    I'm sure its just a glitch to be worked out and will be addressed in 15.1 update.

  • Preview Project slides are very slow

    I have a new problem, that just appeared in Captivate.   If I record on a slide, doesn't matter which mode, Full Motion, Automatic Recording, etc, the slides play back in Preview Project extremely slowly.
    I have the Slide Duration at 5 seconds under Preferences.  I can change the slide duration in the timeline for each invididual slide, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.   The slides in Preview Project take about 30 seconds or more to cycle.  It works the same if I go in an Preview the Next 10 slides.  I have changed the number of slides down to Preview Next 2 slides and it still runs very slow.
    If anyone knows why this might be occuring, I would appreciate it.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    If you're on Captivate 5, go into Preferences and try clearing out the Cache using the Clear Cache button provided there under Global > General Settings.
    If that doesn't work, try deleting your entire Preferences folder:
    - on Xp: C:\Documents and Settings\<USER NAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Captivate 5
    - on Vista/Win7:C:\Users\<USER NAME>\AppData\Local\Adobe\Captivate 5
    - on MAC: /Users/<USER NAME>/Library/Preferences/
    If things are still running slow, try uninstalling and reinstalling the Flash Player via Control Panel.  Cp's preview functionality may depend on Flash player since it's previewing an SWF file.
    Does that improve things?

  • When playing games on the ipad I have no sound and it it very slow.

    when playing games downloaded from the app store I have no sound and the games arte very slow?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
    If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Lightroom is very slow, utilizes 100% CPU, then freezes or closes program.  How do I fix it?

    I am having a problem with Lightroom 5 being very slow, utilizing 100% CPU, then freezing or closing the program.  How do I fix it?
    I just upgraded to LR5 from LR3 on Sunday as well as CS6 from CS5 (which I have not tried out yet).  I spent several hours talking with Vamil, from LR Support Staff yesterday.  He was extremely helpful and kind and tried everything he could think of while remote-handling my PC and talking with me on the phone.  He deleted preferences, cache, temp files, updated graphics with a new replacement file from AMD site, then re-downloaded and reinstalled LR5. 
    It is still very slow and then freezes and closes down with a message of utilizing 100% CPU.  Within several seconds of using the brush in Develop, I started having lots of problems.  I could not even move the picture around.  The side screens would not disappear like they should.  And I could not move to another picture.  The day before I spent several hours trying to work on just 1 picture.  After all the changes yesterday, I tried to move from picture number 1 to about 130 after having not touched it for 10 minutes, and a half hour later, it still said, "Processing" with no picture coming up, just a blank prieview pane.
    LR Support suggested I get a new CPU though he thought according to specs mine should be ok and other programs were running fine.
    My PC is only 2 years old.
    I talked to HP briefly about CPU updates for my HP PC.  He said I probably do not have a problem but suggested I run self-diagnostics and maybe buy a new CPU anyway. 
    I ran diagnostics listed through the HP Support Assistant connection on my PC.  All was ok. 
    I still researched if I could buy a compatible CPU upgrade.  I cannot even find any CPUs still selling that are listed for my PC.  Best Buy Store said they could not even order a compatible CPU.  They said my Bus speed may not be big enough, so they suggest I get a new PC.  What Bus speed do I need?
    I have the following PC Setup:
         AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor 2.70 GHz with 6 Cores
              with 2700 MHz Base, 3200 MHz Boost, and 4000 System Bus Speed, and 95 watts;
         HP Pavilion Elite, HPE-500y, 900 GB Free, new in 2011;
         Windows 7, 64 Bit;
         RAM 16 GB, DDR3;
         Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6450;
         Nikon, D200, with Raw Files;
         External Hard Drive for Original Photos, 600 GB Free;
         LR Catalog and Library are on Main Hard Drive;
         Monitor, Sony CPD-200ES, new in 2004.
    I am thinking of buying a new monitor tonight mostly so I can do better photo work while enlarging the pictures to do it.  I am concerned that while it will help my viewing, it will take more power away, and make my usage of LR5 even worse.  Will a new monitor affect my performance?  I am looking at HP Monitors with IPS.  Is this the best recommended choice for LR and Photoshop CS6?
    I think I would like to stay with a 6 core processor since I need to have several items open for other non-Photoshop functions.  When running LR5, I had everything else closed.  With LR3, I was able to have other things open.
    I do not really want to buy a new computer and know that those I have talked with at this point are only guessing after looking for what they thought should fix it.  4 People from Lightroom Support have all thought I should not be having problems with my setup. 
    I bought one of the best computers 2 years ago.  Is it really obsolete already so that I cannot use LR5?  Is everyone else buying a new PC every 2 years?  I used to go 5-7 years. 
    Even though I have figured out some of what my PC has, I really do not know technically what I am talking about so am at the mercy of other's help.  Are there any solutions that might work short of buying a new computer?
    I also have taken 40th anniversary photos for some people and am waiting to give them as a free gift since I am not a professional at all.  I am hoping to get through this problem soon so that I can provide some nice memories for them.
    I have not gotten any further than trying to adjust 1 picture.  I have no comments on uploading speed, since I did that while still in LR3.
    Thank you for your time and help.

    I'm running LR with no speed issues on an Intel 17-860 quad core with about the same performance as your AMD Phenom II X6 1045T Processor. My system is also an HP, which originally had a single 1TB 7200 HDD. I've since added a second 2TB Black Caviar HDD, which provided no significant difference in LR's performance.
    AMD processors do not implement hyper-threading and don't need it. I'd start debug by process of elimination:
    1) Disconnect all externally attached USB, FireWire, or other externally connected devices except keyboard, mouse, and your single 1280 x1024 display. This includes all externally attached memory card readers, phones, ipads, etc.
    2) Reboot and logon as Administrator.
    3) Remove your Internet connection and turn off all Antivirus and firewall programs.
    4) Open LR and under Catalog Settings set 'Standard Preview Size' to 1440 (slightly larger than your display width). Under the Metadata tab here make sure 'Automatically Write changes into XMP is NOT checked.
    4) Create a 'New Catalog,' Create a new folder and add about 10 raw image file copies to it for testing, and Import it into the new catalog. In the Import module make sure under File Handling 'Render Previews' has 1:1 selected. Wait until all Preview building has completed in the Library module.
    Try editing these image files inside the new catalog as you were previously.

  • Crystal Report 10.5 very slow (30 minutes) to display

    crystal report 10.5 in vs 2008 display at extremely very slow speed in development server and production server. i have loaded a dataset as the datasource for the report. i also checked the code in debugging mode to know where the delay is but found out it is not from the code as the code executes to the end in less than a minute but the browser keeps loading for several minute before display.
    please kindly help to resolve this issue.

    With CR 2008:
    For OLE DB then use:
    MS SQL 2005 - OLE DB Provider
    MS SQL 2008 - SQL Native 10
    For ODBC then use:
    MS SQL 2005 - SQL Native
    MS SQL 2008 - SQL Native 10
    Once you have a report created, you can use the following code at runtime:
    Public Sub New()
            'This call is required by the Windows Form Designer.
            InitializeComponent()
            'Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
            'Create an instance of the strongly-typed report object
            crReportDocument = New CrystalReport1()
            'Setup the connection information structure to be used
            'to log onto the datasource for the report.
            crConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
            With crConnectionInfo
                .ServerName = "escalade"    'physical server name
                .DatabaseName = "Pubs"
                .UserID = "sa"
                .Password = "admin"
            End With
            'Get the table information from the report
            crDatabase = crReportDocument.Database
            crTables = crDatabase.Tables
            'Loop through all tables in the report and apply the connection
            'information for each table.
            For Each crTable In crTables
                crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo
                crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo
                crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo)
            Next
            'Set the viewer to the report object to be previewed.
            CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = crReportDocument
    End Sub
    And be careful with subreports. If you use the same connection type as for the main report the subreport should piggy back on the main connection. If you use a different connection, you'll have to use code to connect the subreports:
    //loop through all the sections to find all the report objects
    foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section crSection in crSections)
        crReportObjects = crSection.ReportObjects;
        //loop through all the report objects to find all the subreports
        foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject crReportObject in crReportObjects)
            if (crReportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
                //you will need to typecast the reportobject to a subreport
                //object once you find it
                crSubreportObject = (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.SubreportObject)crReportObject;
                string mysubname = crSubreportObject.SubreportName.ToString();
                //open the subreport object
                crSubreportDocument = crSubreportObject.OpenSubreport(crSubreportObject.SubreportName);
                //set the database and tables objects to work with the subreport
                crDatabase = crSubreportDocument.Database;
                crTables = crDatabase.Tables;
                tableIndex = 0;
                bool SecureDB;
                //loop through all the tables in the subreport and
                //set up the connection info and apply it to the tables
                foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table crTable in crTables)
                {   // check if integrated security is enabled
                    SecureDB = crSubreportDocument.Database.Tables[tableIndex].LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo.IntegratedSecurity;
                    string TableName = crTable.Name.ToString();
                    tableIndex++;
                    crConnectioninfo.ServerName = "VMW2K8CRSE2K8";
                    //if (!SecureDB)
                        crConnectioninfo.UserID = "sa";
                        crConnectioninfo.Password = "PW";
                        crConnectioninfo.DatabaseName = "QTYLTD";
                        crTableLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo;
                        crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectioninfo;
                        crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);
