RIA Novosti has proven expertise in creating tailored interactive news & information services for mobile operators and content providers.
Day after day RIA Novosti combines media expertise with innovative technologies to effectively reach its audience of millions. The agency is partially government-subsidized, but maintains full editorial independence.
RIA Novosti's history dates back to June 24, 1941 when by a resolution of the USSR Council of People's Commissars and the Communist Party Central Committee, "On the Establishment and Tasks of the Soviet Information Bureau", the Soviet Information Bureau (Sovinformburo) was set up under the USSR Council of People's Commissars and the Central Committee. Its main task was to oversee work to cover international, military events and the events of the country's domestic life in periodicals and on the radio (from October 14, 1941 to March 3, 1942 was based in Kuibyshev – modern-day Samara). The bureau's main task was to compile reports on the situation on the frontline of the war, work on the home front, and the partisan movement for the radio, newspapers and magazines. Sovinformburo directed the activity of the All-Slavonic Committee, Anti-Nazi Committee of Soviet Women, Anti-Nazi Committee of the Soviet Youth, Anti-Nazi Committee of Soviet Scientists, and the Jewish Anti-Nazi Committee. In 1944, a special bureau on propaganda for foreign countries was set up as part of Sovinformburo. Through 1,171 newspapers, 523 magazines and 18 radio stations in 23 countries, Soviet embassies abroad, friendship societies, trade unions, women's, youth and scientific organizations, Sovinformburo informed readers and listeners about the struggle of the Soviet people against Nazism and in the post-war years about the main areas of Soviet domestic and foreign policies.
Sovinformburo heads: A.S. Shcherbakov (from 1941 to 1945), S. A. Lozovsky (from 1945 to 1948), Y.S. Khavinson, D.A. Polikarpov.
In 1961, the Novosti Press Agency (APN) succeeded Sovinformburo. It became the leading information and press body of Soviet public organizations. The constituent conference was held on February 21, 1961. The conference of representatives of Soviet public organizations adopted a decision to create a press agency of public organizations named Novosti. The agency's guiding body was the Council of the Agency's Founders. The APN founders were the USSR Journalists Union, USSR Writers Union, Union of Soviet Societies of Friendship and Cultural Relations with Foreign Countries, and the Znaniye Society. On April 3, 1961 the Agency charter was adopted. Under its charter, APN's aim was "to contribute to mutual understanding, trust and friendship among peoples in every possible way by broadly publishing accurate information about the USSR abroad and familiarizing the Soviet public with the life of the peoples of foreign countries." APN's motto was "Information for Peace, for the Friendship of Nations." APN had bureaus in over 120 countries. The Agency published 60 illustrated newspapers and magazines in 45 languages with a one-time circulation of 4.3 million copies. With the Union of Soviet Friendship Societies, APN published the newspaper Moscow News, which in September 1990 became an independent publication. APN Publishing House put out over 200 books and booklets with a total annual circulation of 20 million copies. In 1989, a TV center opened in APN. Later, it was transformed into the TV-Novosti TV company.
APN heads: Boris Burkov (1961-1970), Ivan Udaltsov (1970- 1975), Lev Tolkunov (1975-1983), Pavel Naumov (1983-1986), Valentin Falin (1986-1988), Albert Vlasov (1988-1990).
By a decree of USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev, "On the Establishment of the Information Agency Novosti," the Information Agency Novosti (IAN) succeeded APN on July 27, 1990. "To provide information support for the USSR's state domestic and foreign policies and proceeding from the interests of the democratization of the mass media," the Novosti Press Agency was renamed the Information Agency Novosti (IAN). IAN's tasks remained the same - preparing and publishing printed, TV and radio materials in the USSR and abroad; studying public opinion on Soviet foreign and domestic policies in the USSR and abroad." A computer databank was created in the Agency. Initially, it contained over 250,000 documents. In 1991, the Infonews hotline started operating in the Agency. IAN had bureaus in 120 countries. It published 13 illustrated magazines and newspapers. The chairman of the IAN Board was Albert Ivanovich Vlasov.
The Russian Information Agency Novosti was created in September 1991 on the basis of IAN and the Russian Information Agency. By a decree of the Russian president dated August 22, 1991, RIA Novosti was placed within the competence of the Press and Information Ministry. RIA Novosti had about 80 bureaus and news offices abroad, over 1,500 subscribers in CIS countries and about a hundred in non-CIS countries. In 1993, by a decree of the Russian president of September 15, 1993 "On the Russian Information Agency Novosti," RIA Novosti became a state news-analytical agency. RIA Novosti's radio channel - RIA-Radio worked in 1996. In August 1997, the TV channel Kultura was set up on the basis of the RIA TV channel under the sponsorship of the VGTRK TV and radio broadcasting company. By a decree of the Russian president, "On Improving the Work of the State Electronic Media," the VGTRK information holding was created in May 1998, which RIA Novosti joined.
In May 1998, the Agency was renamed the Russian Information Agency Vesti. As a mass media body, it retained the name of RIA Novosti. The main criteria of RIA Novosti's information services were the combination of promptness, objectiveness, authenticity and its own opinion regardless of the political situation.
RIA Novosti heads:
- Andrei Vinogradov (August 1991- January 1992);
- Maisarat Makharadze (January 1992 - August 1993);
- Vladimir Markov (September 1993 - March 1998);
- Eduard Gindileyev (May - August 1998);
- Alexei Volin (August 1998 - June 2000);
- Alexei Zhidakov (acting chairman from June to October 2000);
- Vladimir Kulistikov - chairman of the Board of RIA Novosti (from October 2000 to April 2001);
- Alexei Zhidakov - chairman of the Board of RIA Novosti (April 2001- January 2003);
- Svetlana Mironyuk (chairperson of the Board of RIA Novosti (January 24, 2003 - April 9, 2004).
In April 2004, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Russian Information Agency Vesti was renamed the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Russian News & Information Agency RIA Novosti (Russian abbreviation - FGUP RAMI RIA Novosti).

text: Budget for a new WH soon. If it is rusting and leaking there, the anode is long gone, and replacing it probably won't help much. To get it out, you may need an impact wrench and a lot of luck. If you use much more torque, you'll need someone to hold the tank so you don't twist off the connections to the water and gas, creating even more problems.

It's strange... I have a SW unlocked iPhone on Tmobile USA. Everytime I restart my phone, or I go in and out of Airplane mode, it immediately notifies me that I have a voicemail (red dot on phone).
If I check the voicemail (push the voicemail button), and verify that there is no voicemail, then the dot goes away.
It's pretty annoying, as I get this fake notification a few times a day. I feel like I'm constantly checking my voicemail!
Any ideas?

How does a team of very different artists join forces in settings ranging from a summer camp in Maine to a glass factory in Venice to make works that are universally recognizable as the art of one man? The answer lies in the man—Dale Chihuly.
As director of the team, Chihuly makes the process a symbiotic relationship that draws on each individual's expertise and energy. He assembles the team by pulling in glass artists, often former students, who are available to work at a specific site and time. Each team is headed by an artist with superlative glassblowing skills. Bill Morris, who excels at the gargantuan Macchia forms, is frequently the gaffer, assisted by Rich Royal, who can also head a team. Ben Moore acts as gaffer for the exquisite Sea Forms. Flora Mace and Joey Kirkpatrick take free rein in developing color combinations and smaller forms.
During a glassblowing session, the entire team is in sync, at one with Chihuly's ideas and an integrated part of his creative process. Flora Mace, who began working with Chihuly on the Blanket Cylinders in 1975, explains the process very simply: "When I work for Dale, I almost become him."
While on a Fulbright Fellowship to study glassmaking at the Venini Factory on the island of Murano, Venice (the first American to do so), Chihuly saw the traditional working methods of the Venetians. It was there that he learned how glass could be worked by a team. He had always enlisted friends and students in his projects, but the formal aspects of working glass in a team were unknown to the American studio movement at this time. In Venice, Chihuly saw the stratified production method in which a maestro (gaffer) is assigned helpers and each member of the team is defined by a task - one tends the annealing oven, another prepares the lattacino rods, a third puts in the initial bubble and blows the piece until it is ready to be handed to the gaffer, and the servitore assists the gaffer by gathering the glass. For Chihuly, it seemed natural both for the medium and for his own method to begin to think about working glass in a team.
In creating the work, the team follows Chihuly's instructions and he ultimately decides whether the piece is a "keeper." He is like a choreographer who uses his dancers' bodies to make tangible his ideas. Unlike teams in Europe, where production is the goal and each member has an assigned task, Chihuly'' team makes unique pieces and people exchange jobs. In Venice, the maestro is on top of the social ladder; here gaffer Bill Morris is described as "having a great pair of hands," but all members of the team are regarded as equals. While a Chihuly team works together with apparent ease, the dynamic is complex. Chihuly acts much like a film director - creating the concept, initiating the action, and setting the scene - but the process requires something else, a special chemistry in which he works as catalyst to produce the glassworks that are characteristically Chihuly. In this role, he manages a process in constant flux, harnessing the three key elements of fire, gravity, and spontaneity.
Chihuly also provides an ambience conductive to spontaneity. He will often hire a cook to provide for the team. Music helps create atmosphere - beginning perhaps with Vivaldi as the works of the previous day are being discussed and then switching into higher gear when the gaffer demands the Talking Heads. This work environment is crucial to the team's freedom to concentrate during the often intensive eight-hour sessions.
The elements of the team do not really define the dynamic. Chihuly is the catalyst that makes it all work. He brings together the best glass blowers according to their schedules and needs, creates the most congenial ambience, introduces a touch of glamour by moving the sessions from site to site and flying in his team, challenges the group with his ideas, and after an intense session of work, a few distinctively Chihuly pieces emerge.

I purchased couples massage through Groupon for the Vitality Health Center. I called and left a message the same day I purchased the services on a Saturday. I did not hear back from this place, so I called back on the following Monday afternoon to follow up with the messages I left trying to make an appointment. I had a very bad experience trying to make an appointment with this facility. The person who answered the phone was very rude and unprofessional. She made fun of me laughing at me while asking me questions. She put me on hold for a very long time, so I had to hang up and call back. When I called the facility back she lied and told me we got disconnected. I asked her to leave a message for her supervisor; she claimed she was the supervisor. I asked to leave a message for the owner on the voicemail she replied the owner does not have a voicemail. My total experience trying to use this facilities service was completely unsatisfactory.
Great Chiropractor – Great staff and facility. Dr. Rothman really takes a unique and medically sound scientific approach to chiropractic work. Glad we found him and would highly recommend anyone interested in feeling better, stop in for a visit.
Great Group of health and wellness practioners – What a wonderful staff in one location where you get an integrative approach to solving your health needs.
Nutrition Program For Health Concerns & Weight Loss – Went to this health center on referral and saw many great results with friends who went there to treat their health and weight by better nutrition. I needed help to lower my very high cholesterol problem and wanted to see if it could be controlled by nutrition before being placed on medication by my medical doctor. Truly benefited by being properly informed as to how to eat right and what to avoid. This nutrition program is tailored to the patient's specific health care needs and not a fad diet/nutrition approached. By eating properly, I gradually lost weight in a very healthy manner and my cholesterol went down significantly. My medical doctor was very impressed with both - my weight loss and my cholesterol level. Now I have made the necessary healthy lifestyle change which I am truly happy about. Thanks to the expert help at Vitality Health Center. The nutritionist is very knowledgeable and the staff is very friendly and very supportive. Would highly recommend their service to anyone.

A View of Creation from Rochers-de-Naye (Switzerland)
October 14, 2008
View the Image Slideshow for A View of Creation from Rochers-de-Naye (Switzerland) (Opens a new window).
During the summer of 2006, I traveled with my family to Switzerland to visit my older brother who was working in the United Nations Headquarters in Geneva. While it is not a tremendously popular tourist destination, Geneva is a unique town to visit, because it is stunningly beautiful and has a great deal of history. Located on Lake Geneva and nestled amidst the Alps, Geneva is home to the headquarters of many international organizations, including the United Nations, Red Cross, and World Intellectual Property Organization. Geneva is also home to the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), where the largest particle accelerator in the world has been constructed to study sub-atomic particles.
Being in Geneva for almost two weeks provided the unique opportunity to travel throughout Switzerland and enjoy the culture of this country. One of my favorite destinations was the town of Montreux, located on Lac Léman (Lake Geneva) and at the foot of the Alps, approximately one hour from Geneva. From Geneva to Montreux, we took a train that snaked through the Swiss countryside, following the edge of Lake Geneva. In Montreux, many visitors, my family included, explore the Castle of Chillon, a beautiful fixture along the lake with incredible views of the Alps and Lake Geneva. Montreux is also the location from which the cog train departs to travel up the side of the Rochers de Naye, a 2042-meter high mountain, to the peak.
This train, the Chemin de fer Montreux-Glion-Rochers-de-Naye, travels slowly up the mountain and stops briefly in Glion. Passing through tunnels, fields, and providing stunning views of Lake Geneva and the surrounding Alps, the train takes visitors to the top of Rochers-de-Naye. This point arguably has some of the most stunning views in Europe. From the peak, it is as if you can see with no limits. The untarnished beauty of nature that had not been tampered with, altered, or destroyed was extremely striking. Despite the war and turmoil which plagues the world today, such pristine places remain on our planet. Being in Geneva and visiting the UN and Red Cross headquarters reminded me of my commitments and duties as a citizen of the world. As members of the global community, we are responsible for one another and for God's creation. Being atop Rochers-de-Naye reminded me why we have this duty to God and to one another to preserve what God has given us.
From the top of the mountain, we could easily look down on the villages and communities in the valley and along Lake Geneva. The railroad tracks winding up, around, and through the mountains were barely visible markings on the incredible landscape below. On the day we were atop Rochers-de-Naye, it was overcast, and the peaks of the surrounding mountains barely missed colliding with the fluffy white clouds in the sky. This weather provided an excellent backdrop for capturing the environment on film. The vistas were almost too good to be true, and it often seemed as if I was in a museum looking at a painting, rather than looking out over the Alps with the wind blowing through my hair.
Atop the peak of this mountain, life was much simpler and far more quiet and peaceful than it had been just an hour before in Montreux. Without the constant hum of people, cars, and busy city life, there were countless opportunities for spiritual reflection. Paradoxically, I realized the world was at my feet, but at the same time I was cognizant of the tiny place I occupy in creation. It was interesting to me that while humans study the smallest building blocks of life in laboratories, such as those at CERN, God's creation, which lay before me in all its splendor and enormity, is beyond our complete understanding. Try as we may, we cannot even imagine the grandeur of God, nor comprehend the impressive masterpiece that is our world.
One of the most striking images I captured on film was of the large oak cross that has been erected atop the mountain. Connected to the main visitors' center by just a short dirt path, the cross is a visible reminder of God's presence in our world, especially amid the beauty of creation. Regardless of the location it is placed in, the materials it is crafted of, or the size of it, I am always surprised by the tremendous evocative power crosses have for me. This simple cross, constructed of two large oak beams, is powerful in its simplicity, particularly in contrast to its surroundings. Clearly visible to all who travel to the top of Rochers-de-Naye, this cross is a reminder of the Divine presence to those who have the opportunity to experience this small example of the splendor of God's creation.

As our children have gotten older, family Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations have had to morph into something different.
When the boys were small, it was easier. We just scooped them up for our annual visit to one of my siblings' homes for Thanksgiving, toys and hand-held video games in tow. Even when they were in college, we would pick them up Wednesday afternoon after classes on our way to Washington, D.C., where we would join cousins who would wait up for us to arrive after midnight the night before Thanksgiving.

I installed the 64 bit Windows 7 version of Premeiere Elements 10 for my OS but the GUI is very slow and jerky. Resizing tracks is slow, scrolling up and down tracks leaves ghost trails. The shuttle moves across the timeline in a jerky manner. Adding effects and doing certain tasks make the whole GUI flash as if it can't refresh the screen fast enough. Moving clips around flash and spasm. The whole program generally runs very slowly - which on my system is unusual.
I should point out the slowness has nothing at all to do with the project settings or the clips in the video because these problems are there from the start before adding anything to the timeline. Just moving black video clips around or adding text is slow. Just using the program with nothing on the timeline is the same and gets progressively worse when clips and stuff are added, the more complex the project gets the slower the program refreshes the GUI.
My systems specs:
CPU: Core i7 965 Extreme 3.2Ghz
RAM: 6Gb Corsair 1600
MOBO: Asus P6T Deluxe
GPU: Nvidia EVGA GTX 580 (current driver version: 296.10)
DirectX 11
SOUND: X-Fi Titanium Fata1ty
Cooler Master V8 CPU Fan
PSU: 1200W Cooler Master Gold Pro

OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Have you manually gone to Windows Update and ensured you have even the non-critical updates? (This can get you some important drivers that aren't otherwise available.)
You have two hard drives. How is your second hard drive configured? Have you ensured that it is set up in your computer's BIOS as well as its operating system? If you haven't got your drive set up in your BIOS, you will experience poor data transfer performance.
Have you ensured that both drives are formatted NTFS and not FAT32 (as they come from the factory)?
Have you cleared off your temp files, defragged and tuned-up your computer? This is particularly important on a new computer, since configuring the operating system makes a mess of your drives. My favorite free, one-button Deep Care tune-up program is Advanced System Care from http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
On that hardware, this program should fly like a jet! Something clearly is configured wrongly on your system.
I have all the Windows 7 updates, including SP1. Both hard drives are configured correctly. Drive F is used for storage of personal files and documents only. Premiere Elements 10 runs from the C drive. Both are NTFS. I use CCleaner on a semi regular basis to clean up temp files, unused registry entries etc. I also use Driver Sweeper when installing new drivers to make sure the old ones are cleaned off completely.
I have no issues with other software and the previous version of Premiere I used was version 4 which didn't work so well in Windows 7 but at least the GUI was fine. I belive the issues I'm having are as a result of running a 64 bit OS despite installing the 64 bit version of PrE10.
>Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
I have Win7 64bit Pro so don't have the details, but I have read that Ultimate has "extra" stuff that is used in a "managed, network" situation that may, with default settings, slow down some operations... you might Google for that as an idea... I think the Aero feature?
With that rig, he shouldn't have to turn off Aero.
What happens if you start a project file on your C drive and work with media only on it? Does your performance improve? (This will test to see if it's the configuration of the second drive that's the problem.)
>With that rig, he shouldn't have to turn off Aero
True... but with Windows, odd things do sometimes happen
For instance... this morning I logged into a forum, and Internet Explorer popped up a warning about a "bad" site security certificate
I restarted, and the warning went away... so, it just MAY be that "something" in Win7 Ultimate is causing the problem
A very good point, John!
In the world of computers, you can't assume anything.
Best thing I can do is show you http://youtu.be/8C7GbqXir8o
Kept this simple so I'm just showing you how slow the track bar is to refresh while scrolling it up and down. The slower I scroll the more it has trails. You can also see the shuttle flickering as it moves along the timeline as it plays. This is just with some black video. It gets mush worse when proper video clips are on the tracks and moving them around, resizing, zooming etc. This is all prior to adding any media regardless of which drive it's on. But I only work with C drive for projects. Like I said before, F drive is for personal documents only and is not accessed while making a project.
Turning off Aero does imrpove the refresh rate but only very slightly. With Aero off scrolling the tracks up and down slowly, as in the above video is better until you scroll it faster then it has trails. The shuttle doesn't flicker either. So yes turning Aero off is an improvement but not exactly ideal. Remains to be seen what a full on project session will be like with Aero off. I'll have to let you know.
I used Fraps to record this but the video was too large so converted it to WMV to keep the size down. Suffers somewhat in quality but you can still see what's going on. Also, something I didn't quite catch in the above video are small white blocks and lines which appear on the track bar when moving clips and trimming etc, like they leave bits of themselves behind. Eventually clears but this is quite an obvious description of a screen refresh problem.
Fraps won't record Premiere after turning off Aero, the output video is blank.
If the video is WMV or FRAPS, then that's at the root of the problem. Neither is a very efficient codec for this program.
Premiere Elements is designed to work with camcorder video, and it works excellently with miniDV, AVCHD, HDV, Flip and even DSLR video. Non-camcorder video sources will dog the program like nobody's business, as you're seeing.

No, you misunderstand I'm not putting capture video in a project. I just made the video so you can see the GUI refresh problem in Premiere. As I've already stated this problem is the software itself and nothing to do with ANY media added to the project. I only used Fraps to show you what I was talking about - I'm not actually adding captured video to a project!
I'm not sure what you're looking for then, Soopy. You pretty much dismiss any suggestion we offer.
If you have an issue with the software, you should be contacting Adobe. We're just users helping users here. We don't have anything to do with the way the software itself is designed or functions.
I don't know how much clearer I can explain the problem. I haven't dismissed your suggestions, all you've done is failed to understand what my thread was about! The whole point of this thread was to highlight an issue I have with Premiere Elements 10 GUI not refreshing fast enough for a smooth, flicker free operation from the start, before adding media to the project. I made a video of using Premiere to show you how when scrolling the track bar up and down it leaves trails, moving black video clips around leave bits of themselves on the track bar all because the program doesn't refresh fast enough and wanted to know why - just how clearer can this be?
This is Adobe's forum right? I assumed I might be able to get some help from someone who has a similar problem. I guess this was a waste of time.
>help from someone who has a similar problem
That may be the problem... nobody who has responded HAS the same problem, and a fix, so the only answers you have received are all based on what "should" work
Since the answers you have received do not work, you would SEEM to have a problem that may not be fixed by the other users here
Hey Scoopi,
I have the same problem as you. I also have the same hardware stack as you except I have 16GB of RAM. I was expecting this product to run snappy on my system. Definitely not the case. Sounds like Steve was reverting to the typical support answers....."Make sure your system is up to date". I would agree with that except my system is up to date. Aero seems to be having conflicts with Adobe's GUI.
Well, it's a little unfair to say I'm reverting to a typical support answer, Jamm. For one thing, I'm not a support guy. I'm a guy who's been successfully using every version of this program since 2003 and just wants to help people new to the program out. For another, the true typical support answer is that you need to reboot your system.
The real point is that I'm running version 10 on a dual core 2.6 ghz Windows 7 system with 4 gigs of RAM -- a fraction of what you guys have -- and I'm not having any of the problems you're having. So the challenge for you (and us) is to figure out how several times more power means much slower performance.
I'm open to ideas. But, since I can't sit down and troubleshoot your systems myself, you need to try some things yourselves.
Or not. It's up to you. I'm just here offering suggestions.
Agreed Steve. Unfair. I did not mean to snipe you. I thought you were Adobe's first line of support. I'm just pretty frustrated. I've been working with and building computers for the majority of my life. I have edited video on multiple platforms with significantly better performance. I was running the CS5 demo with zero issues on my Core 2 system. Since I have moved to the i7 I purchased elements because it was inexpensive and seemed to have the same basic core features as CS5. Not only have I been let down with the performance, the workflow of the GUI is ridiculous.
1. I have not figured out how to simply export a video without having to go through the entire "Share" dialogue.
2. Every single time you change a codec setting you are required to save it as a new preset.
3. The box where you check "Share WorkAreaBar Only" doesn't remain checked as you move in and out of the advanced settings.
This is not directed at you. This is directed at Adobe. This is straight up capitalism in software. In order to remove the annoying restrictions that slow down the work flow, you must purchase the expensive software. Something I can't afford.
These are all great suggestions for Adobe's feature request page:
You'll certainly be more likely to get Adobe's attention there than here.
Meantime, the other side of capitalism is that we all vote with our wallets. With so many great, affordable options out there, the best way to tell Adobe that you don't like the direction they're going is to buy one of the others' products. Adobe may be the gold standard among pro products -- but there's certainly no reason to stick with Elements software if a product by Sony, Ulead, Pinnacle, Corbis, etc., better fits your workflow.
That is an interesting spin. I agree the vote is with the wallet however I voted on experience with other Adobe products. Elements may be good for your workflow however there are some very shady things going on with this piece of software. I would urge all users of this software to understand what they bought. Yes you will be able to edit videos with Adobe's powerful professional engine, but this software is intentionally limited and spiked with intrusive software that provides Adobe info about your system and how it is used. Have you ever noticed the Adobe Auto-Analyzer that soaks up up to 75% of your CPU even when it is not open? Have you noticed how in order to shut off the auto-analyzer feature you have to provide personal information?
Elements is Adobe Premiere wrapped in a very limiting GUI with intrusive and potentially unethical personal information collection techniques.
I'd take my vote back if I could.
And for the record....
Well I'm still tweaking this that and the other, trying to find an explanation and hopefully a fix. Pretty certain...actually I'm 100% certain this is 64 bit issue. I say that because it turns out my Dad has similar problems in Photoshop Elements 9, also on 64 bit Windows 7 but on a much lower spec'd laptop.
I have a thread over at Elements Village now. I have other issues in PrE10. Rendered project not staying rendered when saving, exiting and reloading for example.
I've got the same problem.
Some specs.
AMD Phenom X4 955 3.2 Ghz
Windows 7 - 64 Bit
16 Gb Patriot PC 12800 RAM
My install of windows is to a solid state drive, whereas all of my editing and even my install of Elements is on a separate 7200 RPM hard drive.
DirectX 11
Quicktime is installed (however a fresh install of premiere elements just opening an empty new project shouldn't be relying on Quicktime)
The video card is an nVidia GTX 560 TI 1280 Mb RAM with the most current drivers available from the nVidia site.
All performance of this machine on every piece of software I use is stellar and I would guesstimate that I'm over the minimum specs by a sufficient amount that this should run like a dream.
When using Elements 10, the timeline is laggy. This is before any content has been entered. If the performance is this bad with no content, I can't see it being workable with 3-4 mixed video clips, some flash animations, mp3s and titles. Problem occurs with or without Aero enabled (not that it should matter).
It is plausable that the issue is the 64 bit install being garbage, but as much fun as dual booting a 32 bit install is, I'll have to pass on that one.
The Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 trial works just fine which is... unfortunate. Steve, you didn't mention, are you running 32 bit windows 7?
Windows 7 64-bit.
Welcome to the forum.
It IS looking like some Win7-64 installations ARE running unnaturally slow, as far as the GUI redraw is concerned, as there are quite a few users reporting the same problem.
Your post contains about all of the info, that I can think of, that could affect the this. Thank you for all of that up front. It is greatly appreciated.
Now, though AMD CPU's do not furnish the same performance, as Intel CPU's, with regard to Adobe programs, if the PrPro CS 5.5 trial is running smoothly for you, then that should probably be ruled out (though I do find it a bit odd, that most users with the slow GUI issue have them?).
I would look over the second part of this ARTICLE (looks like you have taken care of the first part, but look over it, in case something else was missed). The second part focuses on tuning up one's system and their OS. Especially see Black Viper's Win7-64 OS tune-up tips. Please let us know if any of those tune-up tips improve the performance.
I am also with you on dual-boot systems. That should not be necessary. I used to do that, but it was when I was beta testing new OS's, and I discontinued doing that many years ago.
As a side-note, when the sluggish GUI issue is solved, I see two things that might cause issues, in actually editing Projects:
The "mixed footage" statement is a bit of a red-flag, as PrE does not do well, with mixed sources - some mixtures can be much more problematic, than others. Note: within limits, PrPro CS 5.5/6 will handle mixed sources better, than will PrE, and especially with a CUDA-capable GPU and hardware MPE.
MP3's, while a supported format, can also cause issues. See this ARTICLE for more info. Some work just fine, but others can be problematic.
Good luck, and please report if any of the OS tune-up tips improve the GUI performance.
I checked through the article and didn't run into anything that should be having an effect. I'm running a 24Gb page file and the install of windows is fresh so it's not a space issue. Defragmenting the hard drive has limited value with the size of hard drives being so large these days. It's almost like Premiere doesn't know what to do with advanced hardware. AMD and Intel keep running circles around each other in performance with each generation of CPU so it shouldn't be a compatability conflict there as I would have expected to post this on the box if it was going to be a problem.
When I was trying to do some editing with the actual video sources, I did of course run into the red line issue I've seen you guys mention before. But that just means Premiere has a hard time previewing the image natively. If you render the work area, the red goes away as Adobe has baked the video screens into the project. The render process is a bit slower than Pro but I expected that and with a Quad Core processor and 16Gb of RAM it's still very quick.
Unfortunately Premiere Pro is out of my price range. I'll have to hit up Adobe support first to have at least tried that angle before I try to go the refund route. I was disappointed to hear the support is from India. While I appreciate they may be great techs (and have dealt with a select few who were) the language barrier is irritating to say the least.
The performance issue with Intel vs AMD is not straight-line performance, but performance with Adobe programs. They are written to take full advantage of an Intel CPU, though still run quite well on an AMD, just not as well as on an Intel chip. Still, that should not even be noticed, and especially at an initial stage with a Project. One might see it, if the Project was very large and intricate. I do not believe that it would be an issue here - though I could be wrong. PrPro CS 5.5/6 show improved performance on an Intel CPU, than on an AMD, with very similar specs. To see those differences, you can look at the performance database from the PPBM benchmark site - sort by CPU and interpolate the performance between similar Intels and AMD's. Still, those performance attributes should be seen only when using PrPro's editing functions, and not with GUI redraw.
As for the red line, lets discuss that a bit, as it CAN be important, though should NOT manifest itself with the display of the GUI, which is what we are basically talking about here - only with playback in the Program Monitor. Initially, when a Clip is placed onto the Timeline, a red line indicates that there is a mis-match between the Project's Preset, and the properties of the Clip(s). That should be addressed at the New Project stage. One should NOT have a red line initially, and that CAN create issues, and not just playback problems.
Then, if one has no red lines, or green lines (after a Render of the Timeline), and they add/adjust any Effect, add any sort of overlay, such as a PiP, a Transition, or overlay Title, a red line will appear. That indicates that for the smoothest possible playback in the Program Monitor, one would want to Render the Timeline, or that part of it, with the red line. Note: that affects playback in the Program Monitor only, and NOT GUI redraw. Also, if one adds a Still Image to the Timeline, there WILL be a red line above it, as PrE basically needs to "create" video from the Still Image. Again, that is ONLY for playback in the Program Monitor, and NOT GUI redraw.
You are correct that with large, mostly empty HDD's, defragmentation is not as important, as with smaller, mostly used up HDD's. However, it should not be dismissed entirely - it is just not quite as important, as it once was. There are performance benefits when working with defragmented files (less seek time), and also performance benefits from having files on the outside areas of the platters (again, less seek time). However, that file placement performance gain will be somewhat minimal, and should not be affecting GUI redraw much, if at all. Even with large, partially used HDD's, defragmentation should not be overlooked.
Also, with a 64-bit OS, and plenty of physical RAM, the Page File is less important, than it was with 32-bit OS and the max, usable 4GB of RAM. In addition, having the Page File statically managed, is less important, as a 64-bit OS w/ plenty of RAM, has many more resources at its disposal, so the dynamically managed Page File's CPU cycels are far less important. As the Page File is used less often, having it statically managed Page File, placed on the outer areas of a HDD, are also less important, than with a 32-bit OS and 4GB RAM.
I wish that I had some other thoughts to share in this matter, and will be watching for others' observations, and tests, with rapt attention, as I feel that I will soon learn something.
Good luck to all,
>red line issue
Is your red line there immediately after importing, and before doing any work?
If yes, your project does not match your video
>timeline is laggy. This is before any content has been entered
I completely do not understand... if you don't have anything on the timeline, how can it lag?
Thus the concern John. The people in this thread are basically having issues with performance while editing video, so being techy type individuals we've all reduced the involved steps the the lowest possible. And we've discovered that the performance problem we're experiencing is not related to the video content being used.
What we've done is opened a brand new project (I've tried 7 different presets just to be extra sure). No content loaded, no videos, no sound. You can resize the Premiere window such that the default timeline has a scroll bar vertically and of course the horizontal zoom is always present to be used as well. When you scroll vertically or zoom with the timeline the user notices significant artifacting and poor performance. One of the users posted a youtube video of the problem (The video is accurate for what I see on my screen and was done to show the symptoms) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C7GbqXir8o&feature=youtu.be
So ultimately it is a problem inherent within Premiere possibly conflicting with computer hardware of some kind that we've been unable to narrow down. At this point we've eliminated the content from causing the problem my showing that the problem occurs before any content is loaded. (in my case FRAPS which I know is not supported "officially") We've also eliminated low computer specs from the problem with multiple high powered machines being in use.
As GUI redraw issues are usually associated with the video driver, you have pretty much ruled that out, as you have the latest nVidia driver (not sure about the others now?), so something else must be coming into play, but I cannot imagine what that would be.
As for FRAPS, when you get the GUI issue(s) sorted out, if you have not seen it, there are some tips in this ARTICLE, that might be useful. It starts out with mainly tips and comments on Camtasia footage (lot of good tips from Jeff Bellune, who uses that program, along with PrPro), but there are some links directly related to FRAPS footage down-thread. Also, when you DO get to editing, if you have any FRAPS-specific tips, that others can benefit from, and especially with PrE, please share those.
Good luck,
Here's a few things that are not the cause of the slow GUI:
- Multi threaded CPU's
I tried setting the Affinity of the running process of PrE10 to single thread, no change.
- Desktop resolution
Changing your desktop resolution doesn't help, just makes it harder to use the program.
- Large Address Aware
PrE10 is already set to use more than 2Gb of memory
- Nvidia Control Panel
Does not make a difference on changing any of the 3D settings.
And what might be the cause:
- Windows Aero
Disabling it does make a difference, though not by much.
- Motherboard Display Chipset
Updating mobo drivers may help, though probably not.
- Monitor
Perhaps the slow refresh is simply the result of slow communcation from the GPU to the monitor.
Though if this was the case it would be noticable in other applications and games.
One of your "possibilities," Monitor, might be well worth checking out. Some Photoshop users have had degraded performance, when the monitor's refresh rate was not set to the ideal for that/those monitor(s).
I would also explore OpenGL settings too. While those usually do not have much effect with PrE, they certainly do with Photoshop, so it might be worth a look.
Good luck, and thank you for reporting.

And yet I have the same problem, sluggish jerky timeline.
Same project in Adobe Premier Element 7 is fine.
I expected the 10 to be more efficent. And you know that Adobe leaves the support to this forum it seems. Pitty.
The first question is always, Do you have the same problem if you're editing your miniDV project with both your project file and your media on your C drive. (Try it as an experiment.) Use your miniDV footage only in this experiment.
If your sluggishness goes away, you know it has to do with how your drives are configured.
If not -- something very odd is going on. If you can't even edit miniDV without issues, then my Pentium 4 XP is beating your Windows 7 i7 monster, and I don't know how the program can be blamed for that.
Thanks Steve. I have always respected your opinion and guidance. I will try that and let you know.
I tried a new test project on my C:\ drive with capture from a Sony Mini DV tape camcorder, only 15 clips with no effects, transitions, etc... but the timeline remains jerky, slow and with delayed response. The hard drives are SATA, 6gb/s and in the Bios are set to AHCI mode. Makes me think that PreE10 does not play well with Win 7 64bit.
As I mentioned before, the same project in Pre 7 has no such problem. May be Adobe would look into this! One can hope.
When I lived in LA, we used to joke that, because of the way traffic flows, the earlier you leave for work the later you'll be.
Maybe it's some weird thing like that. The faster your computer, the slower the program runs.
Sorry for your challenges, Mike.
I have the same problem. Wish there was a fix.
Try moving out of LA.
Hi soopytwist:
As you see on this thread, I was one of the first ones to complain about this problem and I followed Mr. Grisetti's and others recommendations but my proble with slow GUI in Pre-10 was not resolved. I had reverted back to Pre-7 which worked fine then I decided to take a chance and shell out more cash and buy the Pre-11. The problem is solved in Pre-11 and I think the Adobe was aware of the issues with Pre-10 and corrected it in Pre-11 since Adobe never issues update for its consumer software but I have had updates and patches for CS-6 several times. Try the trial version of the Premiere Element 11 and see for yourself. By the way I purchased Steve Grisetti's book on Pre-11 and I can say one should not be without it. It contains tips and instructions that Adobe never tells you!!
Good editing and regards
Mike M.
Hey, thanks for the plug, Mike! Glad you're enjoying the book!
