Long rendering in premiere pro 2 at DVinfo.net

Dwight Flynn · January 12th, 2007, 03:08 PM

I have a 45min dv vid edited and being final rendered in Premiere pro 2 (NTSC 29.97). Except for a few additions such as multicam and minor color correction there isn't a lot of layers to this vid. Essentially it's straight cuts and fades. This is why I am at a loss as to why premiere pro is saying that it is going to take 17 or more hours to complete final render. I am certain I have missed something but am uncertain what that might be. It's being rendered on an athlon 64 3200 with raided sata and 1gb ram. Any assist is appreciated?

Possibly your export settings do not match your project settings. Your project settings presumably are MS-DV AVI type 2, standard NTSC. If you export your movie using MS-DV AVI it should take around RT or even somewhat faster. I have seen a lot of people making the mistake of trying to export uncompressed or using other codecs that result in long render times.

The export and import settings are the same. The problem has been fixed and has turned out to be an annoying feature of PP2. It seems the measuring meter that displays how long the render time will take does not give an accurate reading until 2 or more hours after the render function begins (for large rendering jobs of course). I have seen this type of inaccuracy in lesser programs, and am a surprised that PP suffers from it. It actually took 4.5 hours which is still a bit long for a 45 min vid. I have read somewhere that this is an issue in PP2.0 of which adobe is aware but not the case in previous versions of PP.

Premiere gives you estimates depending on the time which passed since the beginning of the render and the amount of frames left. So if you have some heavy effects only at the beginning, it may lead you to think that the render time is much longer than it actually will be. Goes both ways actually.

So it's useful but of limited functionality :)

What did you capture the footage using?

premiere set in dv mode, but as I said before the problems was mainly the atavistic render timer in premiere.

There is no such thing as a "minor" color correction. That is probably the issue.
