I am a Premiere novice, to say the least, but I know enough to put together some halfway decent pieces. I'm currently toying with motion, position and scaling, and I'm having some trouble reigning Premiere in. Hypothetical situation: Say I want to move a graphic from an X position of 100 to 200. I set a starting keyframe at 100 and an ending keyframe at 200. Easy enough, and this usuaully works fine. Now, to give it a little "life" I add in another keyframe between those two and closer to the 200 keyframe that is 215. So, it'll go to 215 and kinda bounce back to 200. Here's where Premiere starts dropping in the "phantom" keyframes. It doesn't add ACTUAL keyframes, but it will drop in positions for the graphic way outside of the keyframes I set up. like add in a position of 230 between the 215 and 200 keyframes. Obviously, that totally screws up the animation aimed for. I'm assuming Premiere is trying to do some sort of easing or something, but it's just making things worse. Any ideas how I can prevent this?

My friend and I use AI daily to produce vector artwork. We have completely different PCs in completely different environments, yet we both have problems with AI's performance. I have an i7 5820k processor, 32GB or RAM, 2TBs (2x1TB) of SSDs in RAID 0, and Nvidia GTX 970 graphics all running on Windows 10 Pro 64bit. I should not have performance problems like this. (He has an i7 based laptop with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD.) I do have GPU performance enabled. When we first open files, things go fairly well, but the longer they are open, the worse it gets. It's slow, sometimes becoming unresponsive, and sometimes never becomes responsive again. The interface will stop responding, yet sometimes I can still save even though it doesn't appear to be saving. I can then kill the task and start it back up. Rinse and repeat. Today, for example, I left a file open when I went to lunch. When I got back, I couldn't do anything. I had to close the program, which took about a minute to finally close, during which time my entire PC becomes sluggish until the program closes. If I open a file and immediately close the program, it closes fairly quickly. The longer it's open the worse it gets. Which seems like a memory leak or something, but if I check my memory usage, it's not even half used. Being that the two of us have such different set ups, it kinda points to AI being the problem, but even after a couple of updates, it still does it and we don't see a lot of talk of it on the web. Is anyone else seeing this??? Thanks! ... View more

Let me see if I can adequately describe what I'm attempting to do... We have 18x12 drawings we'd like to print.  Our plotter uses a 36" roll of paper.  So, when we print these 18x12 drawings, we waste 18" of paper with each print. So, I have developed a set of actions that will take two open files, combine them on a canvas and print them filling the entire 36x12 area.  This part works fine and I could live with it as-is.  But, I'd like to see if I can get a little more complex by adding the ability to just point Photoshop to a folder and have it open two files at a time, print them, and then grab the next two until all files in the folder were processed. Do any of you scripting gurus have any tricks I can try? Thanks! Matt ... View more
