Video slow when editing

I recently built a new PC and installed Premiere Elements 8. It ran sufficient on my older PC, but I thought if I built a faster/better machine my life would be much better.
Here are the ciritical parts:
CPU                           Intel I5 2500K
System Drive: (SSD)   OCZ VERTEX PLUS (120 GB)CPU 3.30gighhertz Intel Core i5-2500K
RAM                           8170 Megabytes
Secondary Drives:        Seagagte ST31000340AS (1000 GB)
Video:                         NVIDIA GEForce GTX 550 Ti
Operating system Windows 7
Everthing runs awesome, except for Premiere Elements which runs incredibly slow. When previewing .AVI files that run fine on my old computer, the video portion barely moves.
Essentially it's unusable.
I've done all the optimization tricks I could find from Adobe with no luck.
I check system resources and CPU runs at 7% and virtually no Ram is being used.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ColdFusion Builder - Slow when editing code

I have seen this many times on other forums, but haven't found any working solutions - my installation of the standalone Coldfusion Builder 1.0.0.25339 is nearly always very very slow when editing code (wehether this is cfm or css) i'm assuming the code hinting it somewhat to blame, but don't want to turn it off.
Any help/solutions welcomed.

The current state of the product is that it's rife with performance problems.
Hopefully they'll be fixed in the next release.
What you're seeing is just how it currently works (ie: slowly).

Videos slow when fullscreening?

I have an ATI Radeon Mobility HD 4500 on my laptop which should be more then enough to play flash videos and normal videos at fullscreen,
I also have the catalyst driver installed.. I have also had previous distros on it (fedora and ubuntu) where the flash player worked fine so not sure whats wrong here..
However whenever I fullscreen flash player plugin in firefox (same thing on chrome) it becomes slower and also begins to hang in and out..
This also happens when using vlc, the wierd thing is lets say that vlc is maximised but not fullscreened, if I then fullscreen it it will play fine with no slowness whatsoever. However if vlc is not fullscrened with a small window (i.e. not maximised) and I fullscreen it, it begins to lag and become slow when it is fullscreened..
Flash player is slow all the time when fullscreened however the windows have always started off quite small so this may be the issue.. (runs fine when not at full screen)
Can someone please help me solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

P.S
Forgot to say I'm using Xfce, compiz is installed but not being used yet..

IPhoto 9.1.5 on my imac and MBP has gone really slow when editing etc.

I have noticed that on both my machines iPhoto hangs continuosuly when edits are made to the picture such as denoise etc. It hangs when moving to the next picutre and sometimes I have to Force Quit. I have reinstalled iPhoto, repaired the photo library, tried logging into my mac on a different account, repaired disk permissions etc. The fault still occurs. I am using Leopard and hardly use my MBP apart from installing the regular software updates which I believe might be to blame.

The database is corrupted.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Deathly slow when editing in contribute

I have used contribute for years and now that I updated the
program it takes forever to respond after I hit the edit button.
The program comunicates quickly with the server, downloads the
files and then appears to freeze. I have to wait over a minute
before my cursor appears and I can edit a page. After I am done,
and publish, the congratulations appears quickly . When I am
editing, I have turned off all firewalls, antivirus, spam and
protection programs. Nothing helps. Does anyone have a
suggestion?If I can not resolve this I will have to look at another
product for our group.
P.S. This issue is not related to one particular computer, It
happens on both my laptop and my home computer. It is also a
problem for another group member that I work with.

Hello sdrouillard,
See if you work behind a proxy? If yes then you need to
configure Internet
exlorer with required settings .
Hope this helped !

Indesign slow when editing remote documents

We're using an Indesign/Incopy webbased solution to write/edit our Indesign documents. All Indesign (Incopy) documents are on a remote database server. So when I open such an Indesign document, I basically download it from the remote location, edit it and when saving I upload it back to the server. There are no local Indesign/Incopy files. While testing we discovered that editing can be very slow. When placing a carriage return in a textfield for example, it can take a few seconds and meanwhile the Mac is showing it's rotating circle indicating that it's busy. It simple text edit can take a long time when the document contains a lot of high resolution psd documents.
Is there anything we can do to speed up this process. Apparently it is doing something to the remote Indesign (or auto recover) document while doing text edits. Some kind of upload seems necessary to those documents while doing the text edits. And as the Indesign document is quite large when containing a lot of psd documents these uploads during text edits can take quite a while. What could it be doing during such a text edit and can that process be turned off? So I can open (download) the Indesign document, do my edits while there are no uploads necessary, and finally save (upload) the document?

The recovery folder is the default one, locally on my IMac.
The process is as follows.
I select an Indesign/Incopy document on the remote server to open it. It gets downloaded and opens like any normal document. Then I edit and when I save it, it gets uploaded again to the remote server. All Indesign documents there are stored in the third-party database.
When I open a large (many photos) document and do text edits, a simple text edit can take quite a few seconds. The macs 'busy' circle rotates. It's saving to the local recovery folder, so that couldn't be it.
But it looks like it is doing something to the remote third-party database indesign file during the text edit?

N8: high definition video slowed when played on PC

Yesterday I shot a 1,5 min film in high definition with my N8 and that's the odd: when played by the N8 player itself it's absolutely ok, when played by (after uploading to) my desktop's WMP, well has a correct audio but a slower than real video, so the audio and the video soon become out of synch and the audio ends , of course, some seconds before the video.
Any idea?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok, self-reply: it's my Desktop not able to play hd movies correctly. Actualy I tried on a fairly "old" Windows XP Pentium 4 desktop.
Played by mi new win 7 laptop it's ok...
@yunez: no, played by the phone itself the hd movies are smooth
As for youtube, I had youtube streams problem with the google youtube app (the stream was faster than the cache could ) till I set wi-fi power saving on off. Since then, it's all ok.

Loose my audio and video scenes when editing

I am using two extrnal hard drives. One is 500Gb and the other is 1Tb. With these plugged in and while using final cut pro, I loose my video scenes in the clips while editing and in the browsing menu. They will be there at the start and as soon as I add in a clip or something, they just dissapear and don't return. It is impossible to edit scenes when I cant see the video that is in that clip on the timeline. This is the same for audio and music clips also. I was looking into buying one new 3Tb Extrnal hard drive with a bigger data buffer and disk speed and transfering all my footage to that drive. Would this solve my problem? What would? I can take a screen shot of the problem if needed. Need help! Thank you!

The only thing I can suggest when weird things start happening is to trash the preferences with this free app

Spending money rarely cures severe problems as they are more likely to be caused by user error or some application/computer configuration problem.

Narration does not stay with video clips when editing

I have been working on a large video project in PE7. I just finished adding approximately 100 narrations at various points in various clips. I then inserted a video clip that was missing and all the narrations seems to have shifted and are no longer in sync with the video clips. Any suggestions before and go to the timeline and move each clip?

If you inserted a clip, the timeline is designed to "ripple" or move over to allow for the clip.
If you don't want the timeline to ripple as you add new clips, hold down the Ctrl key as you add your clips.

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video. When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)? I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

If you add a new slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data), to an existing presentation then save, Keynote will only save the new content to the file, it wont save pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
The time taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

How do i get my videos to be full screen when editing and viewing on ipad 2

How do i get my videos to be full screen when editing and viewing on ipad 2. When editing videos in imovie the video isnt zoomed in all the way, this is with imported videos as well as ipad videos... Please help!!

Oh, unless you shot tall.
If you shoot vertical/tall video it cannot be zoomed all the way out in the exit.
Shoot wide, or edit in a different editing app.

HD video not clear when editing

Hello all.
I have completed a few projects shooting with my HD camera, and all have been imported nice and clear. Now, I am editing and the video is not clear. It is smaller and not filling the entire screen. I must have switched a setting somewhere, but I have no idea what I had it set at.
When editing, the video has a widescreen look to it, and the lines are jagged and blurred. HELP!

Item properties say 29.97 fps, 1440 by 1080 frame size, 3.2 MB/sec, and I am in Final Cut Pro version 7.
I tried RE capturing the SAME clip into an old project, where it came in clear. Then I recaptured into this problem project and it was pixelated. I captured the same way both times. Do I have to recapture the entire thing? I know I am probably not giving as clear responses as you need to help me, but I am new to dealing with HD editing.
It is just this project that is not converting the video to the right size. Usually it will prompt asking if I'd like to match the settings, but this time it didn't and I'm not sure how to do so manually.

How can I get the QUICK DEVELOP panel to appear when editing video in Lightroom 4

When editing video, the only panel that appears at right hand side is the the one silimar to the developing of still shots. But of course, it is greyed out, thus preventing its use when editing video.

Lee Jay for USA president.
Thanks a lot Jay. Right clicking on a panel brought up QUICK DEVELOP. I've searched through books galore and none mention this.

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!

Gordon
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

IMovie lags when editing video and audio

I just bought iMovie yesterday from the Mac App Store. I recorded a DJ set and wanted to edit my Video with better quality audio that i recorded seperately. I find that when editing my video and audio (Matching up audio), there is alot of lag. Especially when scrolling through the video to drag the audio to a certain point to get the audio in sync. This is very frustrating and i feel i just got cheated paying for iMovie 11 when it cant even do a simple job. Please help me resolve this. Thank you!

Hi
This is not easy in iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 -
What and how did You record the extra audio ? With what tool ?
To be able to keep audio in sync should be recorded with a device with TimeCode. Else it will be near to impossibly. Or extremely tedious even if FinalCut is used.
I would use FinalCut and keep original audio on track 1 and 2 - and the extra on track 3 and 4. Then Show Wave-form - then see if they can match up to each others.
But doing this in iMovie - is nearly impossibly.
IF AUDIO HAS - TimeCode - and there are no drop outs on video or audio then You should be able to exchange original audio with the extra recorded one in iMovie and even move it frame by frame (1/30 sec or 1/25 sec) - in FinalCut audio can be moved much more exact eg 1/100 sec or within a frame
(my miniDisc recorder - is FAR away from exact enough for this)
Yours Bengt W
