    Adobe CS6 slow down

    Joe Riggs Community Member

      Here's my specs:

       

      OSX 10.8.5

      Pr6 6.0.5

       

      Imac 3.4 i7

      24GB ram

      Plenty of space on my Mac HD

      Media on a usb3 drive.

       

      Recently installed the trial of CC

       

      All of a sudden CS6 slows down and I get the beach ball when performing certain processes such as:

      Duplicating a sequence

      Renaming a bin

      Dropping a merged clip into the project window.

       

      It's really weird, it plays back my RED footage fine but when I do certain tasks

      as I listed above, it beach balls and I can't work.

       

      In the activity monitor I see that Premiere process hits over %100 cpu, when I do these processes.

       

      Any idea how to fix this? I tried restarting, tried disbeling cuda and doing software only.

       

      This just started happening and is a major time sink.

          Seems to just be affecting that one project file.

           

          When I open a different project file, things work okay.  When I create a new project file on the same media drive, things are okay (I often work off externals for clients so I keep everything on th drive).   

           

          Anybody have an idea what's going on? I am working with 5k RED files but the playback isn't the problem, it's those weird issues above.
