I followed this tutorial to update the firmware on my Megalodon Triple Knob Macro Pad, hoping it would allow the device to be recognized in VIA, which I could never accomplish on Windows (it only showed up in VIAL). However, after completing the tutorial successfully, the macro pad still isn't recognized in VIA (neither the desktop version nor the web version) and it won't show up in VIAL either. When I connect it to my Mac, there are no issues. It shows up on the desktop version and the web version and performs as expected. It seems that I can't use the device on Windows at all now. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

When I attempt to open the Creative Cloud app, it seems to launch but never opens. I can see it running in Task Manager but it doesn't pop up on the toolbar or in the "hidden icons" menu. I've tried the following solutions: Closed the app through Task Manager. Re-opened as administrator. Restarted my computer. Uninstalled, then reinstalled Creative Cloud Updated Windows Downloaded the latest Visual C++ Redistributable Tried opening "Creative Cloud Helper" to repair it in the Program Files (it also won't open) The Adobe apps (Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc...) all open normally. However, I can't update or uninstall anything without access to the Creative Cloud app. Let me know if there are any steps I'm missing. Thanks in advance!

I fixed it! For anyone else experiencing this issue: the NVIDIA Game-Ready drivers were apparently causing havok in Premiere Pro. I rolled back to the studio drivers and I can now render!

Hi all! I'm having trouble exporting my footage in Premiere Pro (in Media Encoder as well). All is swell when I first start rendering but it eventually stops about 10-30 seconds in. This isn't on a certain frame or a certain part of the project - it seems to happen at random. I've had something like this issue before but I've tried all of the things I did then to fix it to no avail. This is especially frustrating now because every time I tell Media Encoder or Premiere export to stop rendering it (since it never finishes), it will freeze the program and I have to force quit it. Even worse, I can't even get to the render screen now. I load into the project, don't touch it for 5 minutes so it has ample time to load, and about three clicks in it freezes and I have to force quit again. I highly doubt this is a reflection of my PC's ability to handle this footage, especially since I've done so before. Something else to note: I have several AE compositions in this sequence I'm trying to export. However, as I'll note in a bit, I'm still having trouble rendering even without the comps included. Here's what I've tried already: 1. Turning it on and off again (A.K.A restarting the program & my computer about a million times) 2. Removing all effects (Lumetri is the only one applied to these clips) 3. Rendering in a different sequence 4. Rendering in a different project 5. Rendering without Adobe Media Encoder 6. Updating all my applications (I tried rendering something before the update and I'm fairly sure I ran into the same problem but I can't be certain because I closed the program and tried to do it later. By the time "later" came, I had already updated my applications) 7. Pulling all of my hair out Here's what I've tried that has (sort of) worked: 1. Rendering a tiny portion of the clip - it successfully renders when it's dealing with 2-3 seconds of content. This includes rendering the AE comps. The full video is around 2 minutes. I've more or less isolated the problem to the program. This problem rendering persists in an entirely different project saved to a different drive with different footage (which is also on a different drive). The footage I tried to render in a different project was 1080p, 30FPS, MP4. The footage I need to render is 4k, 24FPS, MP4. Here are my PC specs: OS: Windows 10 MB: MSI Z390-A PRO CPU: I9 9900k @ 3.60GHz GPU: EVGA GEFORCE RTX 2080TI RAM: 64GB DDR4 2666MHz STORAGE: 4 SSDs in RAID 0 (This is where my footage is stored. Don't worry about volatility, I have 4 backup locations), 1 SSD for system, 2 1TB HDD, 1 500GB NVME M.2 SSD I'm at my wit's end here and I have people waiting on me to complete this project at work. I'd greatly appreciate any insight you have into this issue. Thanks in advance for your help! Best Regards, Erin Joan

I have a MacBook Pro (Early 2013) running macOS High Sierra (Version 10.13.6) and my webcam is malfunctioning. When I turn it on, regardless of the program (ie. Zoom, Skype, PhotoBooth, etc.), there are green/white/black/red lines distorting the image (here's what it looks like). The problem started after I downloaded the "GoPro Webcam" driver. I uninstalled it but that didn't fix it. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this?

PS. I've heard that my internet will be the bottleneck, if anything. On this thread they say that SATA II speeds weren't fully utilized because of their internet connection. Do you think this is accurate?

I'll use the NAS primarily for storage of video editing footage. I might pull data directly from the NAS to use in my projects, if needed, but it will mostly serve as a backup. I want the option of expandability and a pre-built NAS simply can't offer that unless you're willing to empty your pockets. I was wondering about the SATA connectors because they're listed strangely on the MB specs... In the picture of the MB, the SATA connectors are listed as SATA3G. Is this not SATA III?

The storage interface section on the motherboard's specs states "SATA-300 -connectors: 6 x 7pin Serial ATA." My understanding of this is that there are 6 SATA connectors, which you can see on the images of the MB. I'm going to buy some NAS drives to put in there.

I've asked this question on this forum before, so my apologies if you're returning to help me yet again! Anyway, I've been looking to build a NAS from a pre-built computer. I found this one on eBay today and it looks like a perfect fit - the price is right, as well. Do you think it would make a good NAS build? Thanks in advance, Erin Joan

Do you think this one is worth the extra $30? Sorry to keep sending you PCs I'm just really thankful for your input.

Ah, okay - very good to know, thank you. What do you think about this computer?

I want to move it into another case. I'm assuming it's mATX form factor if it fits in that slim case.

I haven't decided on the drive config quite yet but I'll save that for later. An i5 would be my preference but I saw the price on this and it's quite attractive. Do you think an i5 would offer me anything in terms of performance or reliability?

Hi all, I found this on Facebook marketplace and I want to use the parts to build a NAS. It has 8GB of ram (enough to run FreeNas) and 64bit processing but I don't know how many SATA connectors the motherboard has. I've had one person tell me they've used this exact PC to make a NAS but I want to know your thoughts... Also - do you think it's a good price? Thanks in advance, Erin Joan

That's what I was thinking... I'm getting cheaper by the moment and I just want to find some garbage $25 PC for the hell of it That being said it still has to be somewhat sufficient. Thanks again for your help it means a lot to me!
