Avoiding re-rendering

I'd like to create a video with target screen resolution of 640x480 in such a way to speed up editing time. The source material is AVCHD from a Panasonic SD1 which seems to require lots of rendering every time I change something. I'm wondering if my first step should be to re-encode the source as something more compact that doesn't need to be re-rendered all the time. Presumably if my sequence is 640x480 25fps and I import onto the timeline and then export .MOV 640x480 then I can reimport and get what I want?

I very well maybe wrong, but there are three natively supported codecs for FCE. They are DV, HDV and AVCHD. For what I know, most other codecs like .avi .mov .mp4 etc, etc are supported, but not natively. So when you change the video in any large way, like placing effects or manipulating it in any way (other than cutting, extending, etc) the video will have to render.
I did not know this, when I first used it (about 3 months ago now), but it really helps speed up editng, as you will be doing other edits instead of waiting for the video to render.

  • Any way to avoid Pre-Rendering?

    Hello Community,
    So I've been working with adobe audition since 5.5 and have upgraded as the updates came out.
    The music I've been making usually consist of 10 to 15 tracks, 32-bit (float), and 192000 Hz.
    The only way for me to edit without hearing pops and crackles is to pre-render everything. I have the task manager up while I work and it doesn't look like my CPU is being worked that hard. I have an i7-4930k overclocked to 4.5Ghz, 32GB of RAM at 2400 mhz, the OS is on a RAID-0 configuration, Audition is on a separate SDD and I have the footage on another HDD.
    I was wondering if there was a way for me to avoid pre-rendering and still not hear the pops and crackles.
    Do I need a sound card to avoid this?
    Am I rendering my audio with bad settings?
    Is my drive configuration not optimized correctly?
    Thanks for the help,
    Arren

    Is this music for bats? You are asking the streaming system to do at least twice as much work as even a hopeless optimist working at 96k would, and even they are recording nothing but noise on half of their disk space!

    The bit I bolded frightened me most. Are you seriously trying to use on-board sound to sample at 192k??? That's positively insane! On-board sound devices are of incredibly poor quality, and almost certainly don't run natively at this rate anyway, so there will be on-the-fly resampling going on. This wrecks the sound quality beyond belief.
    Humans can hear (if they're really young) up to about 20kHz - this figure drops considerably in adults due to presbycusis. To sample audio past the highest point humans can hear requires a sampling rate of no more than 44.1kHz. There used to be arguments about higher sample rates 'sounding' better, but with modern sound devices that oversample rather than using brick-wall filters, there is absolutely no benefit whatsoever to going beyond this. And the sample rate only affects the highest frequency that can be recorded (half of the sample rate, known as the Nyquist frequency) - doesn't alter anything else to do with 'quality' or anything else.
    What it does mean though is that you can spare your drives a lot of hard work. The reason that you are hearing clicks whilst the computer's only ticking over is simply because you are trying to stream four times as much data as you need to. The other thing I discovered recently is that over clocking is sometimes detrimental to system performance in strange ways. If the processor isn't working hard then you simply don't need to over-clock it - you're just warming it up more!
    If you are going to do any serious work with Audition at all, you need an external sound device, yes. The quality of these, even the cheaper ones, is significantly better than any on-board device.

  • Choosing the correct compression to avoid constant rendering??

    Hello all. I am working on a project involving one long video file on my timeline where I am simply using scale and opacity keyframing to demonstrate something. My issue is that every time I make a new key frame, I have to render the entire clip all over again. And at ~26:00 per render per key frame... you get my drift.
    My sequence setting is Apple Intermediate Codec 720p30 and my footage is a .MOV with Animation compressor.
    Is there a format I can convert the original footage to with MPEG Streamclip, perhaps, that will avoid me having to render all video for every tiny change?

    Hi -
    I assume this is some kind of graphics software output?
    Create a new sequence with the sequence settings you want.
    Drop the clip on that timeline.
    Go to the menu File > Export > Quicktime Movie and Export the entire clip. It will take the 26 or more minutes to render and export it.
    Once it it exported, then import that newly created clip and work with that. It should not require rendering on your timeline, until you create an effect that is beyond the real-time capabilities of your computer.
    As a tip, every time you get an effect set and rendered, use the blade tool to cut the timeline after the effect. This will create a boundary that will keep any future manipulation from affecting the work you have already done, and you won't have to re-render from the start.

  • Avoiding multiple renders when printing to tape

    I'm currently using FCEHD 3.5 and working in HDV. When I print to tape in HDV, it can take quite a bit of time for FCE to render the file it is going to output to the tape.
    If I wanted to create multiple tapes of the same file, is there a way to avoid rendering each time before I print?
    In other words, can I export/render the movie once, then print the exported file to tape? If so, how?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Yes, alas HDV needs rendering each time when you "print to tape" .
    That's because FCE process HDV by converting it to "Apple Intermediate Codec" upon capturing (the same thing for iMovie HD), and printing to tape needs the reverse process: converting from Apple intermediate Codec to HDV (mpeg 2 in reality, with GOP-group of images- at each .5 second).
    Final Cut Pro can read and print HDV natively.
    Give a look to:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=493862&tstart=0
    One workaround for your needs, is to connect 2 HDV camcorders together and record from one to another.

  • Sequence settings to avoid re-rendering

    After importing AVCHD files from my Panasonic SD1 and placing them in the timeline, a full time-consuming render is required. Plus, every cut or change I make requires re-rendering. This implies that the clip and sequence settings are incompatible.
    Imported clips are 1440x1080 and use the ProRes422 codec. The sequence is set to 1080i using the Apple Intermediate Codec.
    I haven't located a way set clip properties to match sequence settings. Can anyone help?

    Thanks, Michael.
    Do you know of a way to force FCE to use AIC rather than jumping the fence and snatching the ProRes codec from my FCP6 install?

  • Avoiding tag-rendering before Spry kicks in?

    Is there a way to avoid displaying the raw HTML before Spry
    does its thing? In an accordion showing XML data elements {title}
    and {description}, for example, you'll see {title} and
    {description} first before the accordion is drawn with those items
    replaced by the appropriate data.
    I'm loading a heavy background picture, which slows
    everything down, so perhaps that makes it more obvious, but, still,
    any method for avoiding the tag display would be welcome. Even in
    sample pages you can see a flicker of the pre-Spry HTML.
    See
    www.taradeal.com/pow.html
    (may not work in IE6 right now).
    Thanks,

    Add the class SpryHiddenRegion to your region
    than in your css add .SpryHiddenRegion { visibility:hidden;

  • Avoiding re-rendering of Master exports

    Could someone confirm when I export a master of one of my FCP X projects, as long as I don't change the ProRes codec, there won't be any re-encoding of the frames? I have projects that are sequences I want to incorporate into an assembly of chapters for my final movie. So I'm exporting each of those as masters, then creating a project and laying in the exported movies as clips. Ultimately, this will get exported again to the completed movie master.
    So through this 2-step process, assuming my timelines are all the same frame size/time base and my final master is the same, I shouldn't be re-encoding any of the material, right?
    --JV

    You can't avoid another compression when you export from FCP. But Pro Res can stand up to multiple generations of compression better than most. It's highly unlikely that any quality difference will be detectable to a viewer.

  • Avoid rendering of (view,component Usage embedded on TAB) on Timed Trigger

    Hi,
       I have a WD application build based on header ( icons; normal label; input elements ) , a timed trigger and a tab strip which has 3 tabs. The 3 tabs have View container element for whcih i am attaching 3 views of the same component .  TAB A part which i am viewing holds a image. The Timed Trigger is needed to enable icon on the header. This is happening well after my delay time of 60 SECS. But this one is having impact of regenerating the image again ( due to the rendering ) which is not at all required.  I want to have the rendering only for the above header part only.   But as i heard from Thomas post that after the phase cycle is done. rendering loads all the views, component usages embedded for the VIEW.
    conditonally i am doing the action of CANCEL NAVIGATION in WDDOBEFORENAVIGATION  when Timed Trigger fires.Due to this one i could avoid the MODIFYVIEW calls of the respective views embedded; but i could not avoid the rendering of the IMAGE ( TAB A ).
    Is there any way to avoid the rendering on those tabs part ( 3 views embedded ). I could see that DELTA rendering is enabled for my sap version but it would be not much help.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Satish A.

    Hi Alex.
    I already tried this. But a bit different. One of my component should have different entry views. So I defined multiple interface inbound plugs in the window of the subcomponent. In the corresponding (inbound) handler methods of the window I fired corresponding outbound plugs which were connected to different views. The main component had different links which were connected to the corresponding interface inbound plugs of the embedded component.
    When I clicked the first link, the correct view of the subcomponent was shown. When I then clicked the next link which should show another view of the same subcomponent the corresponding inbound handler was called but no navigation was done.
    Now when I rest the component before navigating everything works fine.
    But thanks for the hint.
    Cheers,

  • Rendering of tables, how to avoid?

    Hi Experts,
    I have created a new light masthead without any tables, only div containers. But when I log into the portal, there's a table around the div containers. In the page layout there are also only div containers, but in the containers there are the placeholders like <lyt:container id="left" />, is this the problem, can I avoid the rendering of tables? Thanks!
    That's what I found in the documentation:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/05/fcbc400f64702ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    "The main tag of the tag library is the container tag <lyt:container> which serves as space holder for columns (and rows in a future release) of portal applications. Every container turns into a HTML table with a portal application in every cell."

    Hi Jeroen,
    I looked into the com.sap.portal.pagebuilder and found the following code
    <tag>
             <name>container</name>
              <tagclass>com.sapportals.portal.pb.layout.taglib.ContainerTag</tagclass>
                       <bodycontent>EMPTY</bodycontent>
              <info>stam1</info>
                    <attribute>
                   <name>id</name>
                   <required>true</required>
                   <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
              </attribute>
         </tag>
    So I think you have to put there a new tag property with <name>mycontainer .... and then copy the com.sapportals.portal.pb.layout.taglib.ContainerTag and rename it, make your changes and refer from the tag propoerty to it. I will try out in the next days.

  • How can I avoid rendering objects outside of the page?

    Hi,
    I have a few big objects in my webpage that stretch the boundaries of the page in preview mode. How can I avoid rendering those parts that are off the page?

    Hi Hadi,
    You need to resize the image to fit the page to avoid it rendering outside the page.

  • FCE, very slow at rendering fill from Canon 5D Mark II

    I recently film with my new 5D Mark II camera at 1080 HD format, 48 mn of filming, 12 sequence. After editing and putting text Title in Live Type and all, it take over 7 hour to output to QT.
    Any body with idea on how to avoid lonnnnnnng rendering or outputting?
    I use my Mac Pro gigs of ram 2.66GHz intel 2 core 2007, CFE 4.0.1
    Thank in advance!

    Canon 5D is a DSLR camera with a full frame censor, so every 13 minutes I have to stop filming so the censor don't heat up to much. My frame rate in camera is 30fps, no conversion was necessary to edit in FCE. I also try different setting, from Apple TV to iPhone etc. they all take the same amount of time to output or render. I even try to render at 50%, ended up with less quality at final output.
    Should I try to output in 720 HD instead of 1080 HD. But that would defeat the purpose to shoot in 1080p?

  • AE CS6 renders 7-68 frames out of 889, but gives the "ding" and claims it's done!

    So, I set up my first render with CS6. Nothing too complicated, 889 frames long. I hit "Render" and it starts.
    About 30 seconds later, I hear the "ding," and am surprised to see that according to the program, the render has finished successfully. "Wow," I think, "CS6 sure is fast. A little *too* fast..."
    And sure enough, the render only exported 13 frames! Umm, odd. I check my settings and yes, I've set it to export the entire comp (the Work Area spans the entire comp anyway).
    Okay, strange fluke. Try again.
    7 frames. "Ding!"
    Ugh, try again...
    15 frames. "Ding!"
    And so on... 68 frames. 35 frames. 9 frames. 37 frames.
    What the hell, man! Why does AE think it's done the render successfully, instead of throwing an error? This is completely unacceptable. Obviously I'm not doing anything wrong here, otherwise the number of frames would be consistant.
    When I import the partial renders back into the comp, lay them on top, and export again (to avoid re-rendering those frames), I can get a longer export. So clearly the problem ony comes when there's real work to be done by the renderer, but it never renders more than 70 unique frames each time, and usually I get far fewer, 15 on average.
    This is just stupid, I can't live like this. There's no logic to this problem, which pissed me off so much that I punched a door.
    I've had nothing put headaches with AE CS6 (the new 3D renderer won't initialize with my CUDA GPU, and refuses to fallback to CPU; Dynamic Linking is slower than CS4, etc.), but I've been able to put off troubleshooting these problems so far, and I wasn't worried because there's always an answer out there somewhere, but this is a frickin' showstopper.
    Please help!

    I'm using the default "Lossless" (AVI) settings in the output module, sometimes "Lossless with Alpha" or similar setting. I almost exclusively use uncopressed renders for all my AE projects, as I prefer to use AME or PrPro when rendering out to compressed codecs.
    I've been working with multiprocessing disabled for awhile, so I haven't had to deal with this problem. But I have a moment to breathe between jobs now so I can more fully describe my setup, and run some tests.
    Most (but not all) of my projects have been largely made up of RED footage (r3d files from the original RED ONE as well as Scarlet/Epic), both 1080p and 4K. But I also frequently work with DSLR footage in the dreaded h.264 format (both mpg and mov). Performance within the program itself (including previews) seems quite good, regardless of which codec my layers are made up of.
    For effects and such: some projects have nothing but text layers and masks, while others have extensive keying, color correction, and animation. And some use the 3D ray-tracer and are made up of nothing but shape layers and color mattes, having no video footage at all.
    Since I last moaned about this issue, I have re-installed the CUDA toolkit (instead of just the graphics driver), and now the ray-tracer is working better, and Dynamic Link performance is better, but unfortunately, the problem described in the original post remains...
    When I have Multiprocessing enabled, any render of a comp with more than one layer seems to exhibit this problem. After trashing my preferences, I have been able get a succesful render or two with multiprocessing enabled, if the project is not too complex, but soon after the problem returns for all projects (it's hard to be precise about exactly when, and what project, triggers its return). I have no idea if trashing my prefs has anything to do with granting a momentary fix, or if it's just a coincidence. When multiprocessing is disabled, I generally have no problems of any kind when rendering (other than it being much slower, as expected).
    My system:
    OS: Win7 x64 SP1
    CPU: Xeon E5504 (x2) @ 2.0 Ghz (8 logical cores total)
    GPU: Quadro FX 3800
    RAM: 24 GB
    Multiprocessing settings:
    RAM for other programs: 6GB
    RAM per process/core: 2GB
    Processors reserved for other programs: 0
    Actual background processors used: 7 (this drops when I have PrPro or AME open reserving its own RAM, obviously)
    NVIDIA driver: 301.32
    CUDA version: 4.2
    I can't seem to identify anything unusual about my setup or configuration, and my Multiprocessing settings use recommended guidelines from the AE team (which have proved optimal in the past).
    Is there any other information about my setup that would be useful?

  • ANALOG AUDIO CAPTURE NEEDS RENDERING?

    I am capturing analog VHSC tapes via a Sony HVR-M25U to do the A/D conversion. My inport settings are standard DV using DVCPRO. When I add my captured footage to the timeline, I see the red rendering line and I hear the blips as I playback, after rendering the clip plays fine. Is there a setting I can change to avoid the rendering? Thanks!

    Well, generally if your captured audio isn't exactly 48kHz, you'll have sync/drift issues...but not a need to render.
    Your settings look correct.
    You might try doing an 'Export as AIFF' from FCP, then bring that audio back in and replace the original. See if that fixes the render issue.
    How many tracks of audio are you working with and what are your 'User Preferences' regarding number of RT audio tracks...that could be it as well.
    How long are the captures? Extended captures can give you the odd audio rates (48.011). Only solution there is to capture in chunks of say 20 minutes or so.
    If you have the hardware, you might try dubbing the old tapes to MiniDV and capturing from those. This takes more time, costs more money, but then you should have solid workable timecode, should you ever need to recapture the media.
    Capture now/non-controllable creates it's own timecode, which will never capture identically again.

  • How to reduce re-rendering clips in Premiere Elements 12

    Each time I restart a Project in Premiere Elements 12 the timeline indicates that I need to re-render the clips. Is there away to avoid excess rendering? Thanks.

    don_
    Your question is a long standing issue that seemed to have peaked around Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 and seems to be independent of computer operating system, scratch disk locations, and QuickTime versions among other things. And Adobe has not come out with an explanation to date as far as I have ever seen.
    But, let me make sure that I am interpreting your question correctly.
    Are you saying that, after you save/close a project whose Timeline had been rendered for preview purposes, the re-opened project presents with an orange line over the Timeline content with the implication that you are looking at an unrendered Timeline? If that is the case, please read on.
    I will dig out the unabridged version of what I have written about this in the past. But, for now, the abridged version.
    1. Although the color indicator implies that the Timeline content is "unrendered", that is, you are not getting the best possible preview of what you are seeing in the Edit Mode monitor preview, the preview files that were originally generated are alive and well in their hard drive save location. Best guess is that the link between the preview files and the project are getting broken and are not repairable, short of rendering the Timeline content again if absolutely necessary for preview purposes.
    2. In the re-opened project, rendering again to turn the orange line to green (best possible preview) can be done for the whole of the afflicted content or selectively (just segment) by setting the WorkArea Bar gray tabs to span just the area to be rendered.
    3. My philosophy on this is to move on or re-render all or part if indicated. You have rendered the area previously and should know what that is going to look like...unless of course you make changes in the re-opened project.
    This one has an unforgetable history going back several versions and apparently surfacing again in the present and still without the whys.
    Please review and let us know if I have targeted you question.
    Thanks.

  • Live text rendering is slow

    When I create a Live Text template and insert it into my Premier timeline the render time is very long.  For a :05 simple text reveal the render is over a few minutes.  If I don't use it as a template but just a dynamic link comp then the render is only 10-15 seconds.  I also find the render slows to a crawl at times but if I cycle to After Effects and back to Premier the render seems to get faster.  Not sure why.
    To avoid the rendering I tried to create a Title graphic to speed the process but it appears a mask or graduated background can't be incorporated into a background graphic inserted in Title.
    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    I find if it isn't open then the links are often lost.  I always have to open the AE project prior to loading the Premiere project.
