I tried that, but I don’t have all of the fonts and get weird font replacement issues. I’m afraid my solution is “live with it” for the moment. Thanks for your suggestions!

The project is a magazine layout, and I’ve been sent a dozen ad files. I’m afraid the ads are the problem. That’s where I’m having the over print issue with someone using the wrong logo file that sent me down this rabbit hole in the first place.

I was hoping to find a quick solution, but it looks like it’s start a new file, place each ad, try to see how many spot colors there are, and then I’ll know who the problem is at least.

And yes, 27 spot colors is way too many! It’s too many to do any of the easy “find spot color” solutions I’ve found online. That’s why I’m trying to figure out how to find them and get rid of them.

Thanks!

I am having the issue that started with hitting play on my sequence causing a crash. Now if I have the project open for more than a few seconds it crashes whether I try to do anything or not.

I’m on someone else’s machine, so making a lot of changes to settings is currently outside my jurisdiction. I did find this on Adobe’s site. Has anyone tried this fix, and did it make a difference?

Currently running 10.9.5 on a late 2013 iMac

Running off a server

Same file runs great on my i7 Surface Pro3 (which is a terrible screen to try to edit on).

Thanks for your response. Sorry for the delay in mine.

Solution #1 wasn’t doing anything for me. That was my initial thought. It would play correctly in Premiere, but rendered out legacy graphics.

The work-around I found that seems to have the most consistent results is just duplicating the dynamic link and stacking it on top of the offending layer which I disable. Of course, this has left me with some annoyingly tall stacks of layers. I can’t delete unused layers, though, as it reads the new one as the old one and renders out the problem again.

I finished that project with my work-around and haven’t had the issue in any projects since, but I’ll try your dragging solution next time it rears its ugly head!

Thanks!

Are you taking about the timecode counter in the top left of the timeline frame? Try ctrl/cmd clicking it. I’m in CC.

If you’re talking about the area above your timeline, just zoom out like the above poster said.
