CS6 Slower Timeline Render over 5.5

Has anyone else noticed that CS6 takes longer to render the timeline than CS5.5?
Same with exporting to MPEG-2 DVD.  CS6 is taking about 20% longer for the same clips to render to MPEG-2 DVD than CS5.5 did.

Hi Jim,
I think I found my problem, my 2nd hard drive is starting to fail.  After more testing using PPBM5, it started taking 3x times longer to export to MPEG2-DVD.
I just replaced the 2nd hard drive and now, CS6 is only a few seconds slower than CS5.5.
Close enough for me.

  • Has CS6 fixed the PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems?

    I've got PPro with AE dynamic links slow to render problems similar to those discussed in this thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/904652?start=0&tstart=0
    As I understand it (and I could well be wrong), if I render a PPro project that has AE projects dynamically linked in (anything from simple lower thirds to color grading), during rendering the AE bits run as a service, which limits the AE bits to a single CPU and effectively stops simultaneous rendering of multiple frames. This is why I can get very high render times (essentially no parallel processing), and why messing with the number of CPUs allowed for simultaneous frame rendering, or the amount of RAM said CPUs can access, has little to no effect on total render time.
    Supposedly as some point AE was going to be changed such that it used Media Encoder to do it's rendering (same as PPro does), thus speeding up rendering for any PPro project that has AE parts dynamically linked in.
    Has this been done in CS6? If not, any idea when that's scheduled to happen?

    (I do wish Adobe staff would keep this distinction mind when creating their videos.  When I saw one about the new background rendering in PP, I was interested, only to learn that he was actually talking about background exporting, a feature PP has had since AME was introduced in CS4.)
    The distinction is not so distinct, and this is an industry issue, not really Adobe. After Effects has a render queue, which is used for exporting, but you can also export. Lightwave has this, even Avid. The terms do have their own distinct meanings, but of course context is usually required. So usually "rendering previews" or "rendering final output" serve as context-sensitive uses of the term.
    Terminology abuse is widespread, even people with video cameras now call themselves "filmmakers" and people who produce films never shown nor intended for a cinema call themselves "cinematographers." ENG video producers are called "photogs" and news photographers are called "photojournalists."
    Transcoding, encoding, rendering, exporting....mish-mashed unfortunately, but thankfully most people can figure out what's meant.
    Back to the OP - After Effects can be used with Adobe Media Encoder, it's just not the default. You can import any composition into AME from AE and render your encoded export.
    As for background rendering....I remember when Pinnacle Liquid was the first to the table with that feature back in 2004 or 2005. It seemed awesome, except that you needed a ton of spare hard drive space and lots of processing to keep the background rendering going...effecitvely your processor was in use 100% of the time. When you weren't scrubbing or playing back, Liquid was rendering previews. Of course, you could use those previews during export but you rarely would have wanted to do so, since it was better quality to reference the original data when compositing the layers and effects to output to a web file, for instance. Then  you had to keep cleaning up the preview cache.
    I rarely render previews at all, and when I do it's just a small segment at a time, just to get a full look at the final composite. Mercury Playback is usually more than capable of playing back most of my edits the rest of the time.

  • What is the best tutorial you've found explaining frame animation in CS6's timeline?

    While I'd prefer it in book form, I'd be willing to fork over $ for a thorough video demo of frame animation in CS6's timeline. What's the best you've found?

    My recomendation would be following something like the links below:

  • Adobe CS6 slow down

    Here's my specs:
    OSX 10.8.5
    Pr6 6.0.5
    Imac 3.4 i7
    24GB ram
    Plenty of space on my Mac HD
    Media on a usb3 drive.
    Recently installed the trial of CC
    All of a sudden CS6 slows down and I get the beach ball when performing certain processes such as:
    Duplicating a sequence
    Renaming a bin
    Dropping a merged clip into the project window.
    It's really weird, it plays back my RED footage fine but when I do certain tasks
    as I listed above, it beach balls and I can't work.
    In the activity monitor I see that Premiere process hits over %100 cpu, when I do these processes.
    Any idea how to fix this? I tried restarting, tried disbeling cuda and doing software only.
    This just started happening and is a major time sink.  

    Seems to just be affecting that one project file.
    When I open a different project file, things work okay.  When I create a new project file on the same media drive, things are okay (I often work off externals for clients so I keep everything on th drive).   
    Anybody have an idea what's going on? I am working with 5k RED files but the playback isn't the problem, it's those weird issues above. 

  • Premiere Elements 11 + Windows 8 pro = slow timeline scrolling!

    Hi!
    I experience slow redraw of the timeline clips when I scroll,
    which makes it very difficult, slow and unpleasant to edit!
    This in nothing new to you all, as I have read in many posts about this problem!
    And everyone is asking (below these posts) questions like:
    "do you have the latest QuickTime codecs?" or "do you have the latest graphics drivers?"
    or that our pc are slow or that we work with strange video formats or to change to no thumbnail in the clips or that its
    the antivirus fault or whatever.
    It is not all these!
    As I have read:
    -It can happen in many versions of Premiere Elements(maybe in all of them, I don't know)
    -It can happen in both ATI/AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards
    -It can happen in all hardware configurations CPU/motherboards
    -It can happen in all windows versions and both 32/64 bit
    So I am guessing it is not our fault.
    Can Adobe finally fix this problem with an update? It's been so many versions until now!
    please... Is it so difficult?
    Can't the programmers see what are we talking about? Can't they fix the programme?
    Before I bought Premiere Elements 11 I had the 9 version in windows 7(64bit)
    The same problem, slow/laggy timeline redraw when moving back and forth.
    The solution I found was to disable the Aero feature in windows 7!
    And oh my god... the timeline then was so fast and smooth, I was so happy to edit!
    So I compromised with that(disabling aero).
    Recently I have upgrad the same PC to windows 8 pro(64 bit) AND bought Premiere Elements 11. (hoping for speed in every possible way!)
    The slow timeline scrolling still happens in both PRE9 and in PRE11.
    And guess what? in windows 8 pro you can't disable the "aero feature"!!!
    You can only change some visual settings, and even if I disable all of them, nothing changes!
    So are we really stuck with the laggy timeline scrolling in windows 8???
    Premiere Elements 11 is so much faster in all other things (exept the timeline scrolling)
    In the preview window for example. It can play really smooth, in real time WITHOUT render preview
    some pretty difficult compositions I make! multiple layers, with greenbox and many other filter effects!
    Which in Premiere Elements 9 (in the same PC) the preview play was very laggy!
    (don't forget that with aero disabled in PE9(win7), same PC, same complicated compositions, timeline scrolling superfast!)
    I think they made some pretty good graphic card use in the preview play in PRE11!
    I present and edit a youtube show with Premiere Elements with demanding compositing and everyone thinks I use Premiere Pro CS 
    version or After Effects CS. But I don't, I want to be legal and I can't aford the prices of these applications
    so I buy and use the Elements series which are very powerful as well, if you know what to do and HOW to do it!
    See for youselves my show I posted today(in Greek, I am from Greece), which I edited in PRE11.(pefrect greenbox, perfect!)
    http://youtu.be/HdKAKI6P8tU?hd=1&t=1m28s (open in a new window)
    or move time to 1:28 from the below youtube video window.
    But unfortunattely the timeline scrolling made my editing unpleasant and slow!
    My question is: Will I, (now that I have upgraded to windows 8 pro 64bit) have to edit ALL my next shows/videos
    with the slow/laggy timeline scrolling??? please tell me something to hope for...

    I have an ATI/AMD FirePro  v4800 1GB GDDR5 with the latest drivers for this card (8.982.8.3)
    Is my video card not compatible?
    this slow redraw of the timeline happened way before
    and everytime a new driver version came up I had installed it but that didn't change anything.
    Only with aero disabled I would enjoy a fast timeline scrolling in windows 7. (now, not possible in windows 8 pro)
    Bill how can you explain this? Same video card and everytime with the SAME NEW drivers, aero on=slow timeline, aero off=fast timeline!
    Is there some kind of a fix that we can always wait from our graphics card companies to include to new drivers??? (for how long???)
    or maybe is it all up to Adobe and its own programme?
    Are we all supposed to have old video display drivers?
    Can someone make some kind of a poll for people who have this problem to vote to see where this problem apears, in which configurations, in which graphics cards? (assuming they have latest drivers)
    so we all finally know what/where is the problem.
    I love the premiere elements series and thats why I want this to be solved.

  • FCP 10.1 slow timeline and editing - Any suggestions to improve speed?

    Recently updated to  OS X 10.9.1 and FCP 10.1. Now experiencing very slow editing and movement in timeline. FCP is responding some 2 to 5 seconds after providing an editing command. The slowest response is to scrolling in the timeline  - 2 finger scroll does not respond for up to 10 seconds after doing it.
    Render times are fine and similar to previous FCP X versions.
    Never had this problem in previous versions of FCP X.
    So far I have done the following things based on forums and a call to apple support(?).
    Deleted all plug ins.
    Started from scratch a project that I was half way through and imported all clips from scratch to a new Library (external Hard Drive).
    Deleted FCP and reinstalled including deleting all preferences.
    Timeline is quick in the early stages of the project but gets slower as I progress - about 3 minutes into my project now (approx 200 clips) and editing time is becoming impossible.
    Am using Mac Book Pro with 2.5 GhzIntel Core i7, 8GB 1333 MHz DDR3, Intel HD Graphics 3000 512 MB.
    Anyone able to assist with further suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi Ian and Russ
    Thanks for your interest.
    Hard drive is 500GB of which I have used approx 300GB. I am using an external hard drive for this project.Footage is from Canon 7D/70D which is H.264 which is the same as other successful projects.
    Yes I do have a number of photos (say 30 @ 18mp) that I am using as part of the project although I have used these before in previous versions of FCP X without impact.
    Tried activity monitor (first time I had used it).
    When scrowling through time line (one of the problem activities) memory does not move much- Real memory approx 925mb, Virtual memory 6GB, shared memory 44mb, Private memory 75mb. Interstingly though when performing this task CPU usage goes > 100% and averages 130%.
    Does this help with any potential diagnostics and solutions?
    Thanks

    You're launching the render engine and not the full version of AE. Make sure you're selecting the right app to launch. And if you're super-sure that your shortcut or whatever you're clicking on is the one to launch the full version, make sure you don't have the render engine txt file somewhere you don't want it.
    A blank file named ae_render_only_node.txt in one of the following locations (depending on the user account type) will result in AE launching the render engine only: 
    Mac OS: /Users/[username]/Documents/ /Users/Shared/Adobe/
    Windows: C:Users/[username]/My Documents C:Users/Public/Public Documents/Adobe
    Also, since this is immediately after updating Mac OSX, you're probably going to need to fix permissions: fixing permissions problem that impedes start of Adobe applications

  • Why is CS6 slow, 64bit-mode or not?

    Got the CS6 trial for OSX. Its not nearly as responsive as promised.
    It can't handle average files with let say 30states in it.
    Escpecially if you create symbols with a lot of elements(30+) which are nested and you want to edit those symbols, there is huge perfomance drop:
    You can't use your keyboard for moving elements within those symbols. The programs give you no feedback what it is doing.
    Then I checked the activity monitor: Apparently fireworks is not running in 64bit mode.
    Is this just the trial version or is the Adobe-Add misleading that it should be running in 64bit?
    My comp-specs:
    lates iMac
    20GB Ram
    SSD 

    And why it has not been improved? Its so obvious slow!

    Performance improvement in CS6 is made interms of refreshing the Property inspector on Mac platform.
    On Windows platform file open /edit and save limit has been increased for 64 bit machines.
    Adobe Fireworks CS6 is a 32-bit application only.Also performance interms of rendering on canvas or preview is not changed in CS6.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Crashes on Render Timeline and also Export

    Hi, The Last few days Premiere Pro has been crashing during either export of a sequence or during render of timeline.
    This also happens if I import the timeline into AME and try to render from there.
    The Files on the timeline are 720x576 progessive @25fps Avi Type 2's
    I've tried outputting to a number of file types with the same crash. Also I have Premiere Elements on the same machine and this does the same!
    This had been working fine the past few weeks, can't understand why its stopped now.
    I've also tried uninstalling CS6 and reinstalling it. and also keep all updated..
    Also reading some other posts, i also uninstalled Itunes in case the latest update has caused problems. Unfortunately i don't have  restore point from before the problem started happening
    although i do have a backup on another drive.
    I should also mention that i've done a number of virus scans as well with a couple of products just in case of that.
    Machine is Win 7 64 bit.  I7 Quad 2600 (3.4gig), 10gb Ram, Blackmagic extreme input card, and Duo input card. The Video Card is internal to the board (Intel HD Graphics...which performs ok for what i need it for )
    any help would be appreciated to get up and running again.
    cheers
    john

    Well, I think i finally have got to the root of it...These files were recorded using Blackmagics Mjpeg Compressor, and that seems to be the problem.
    Rather than recoding the files (difficult as AME would fall over as well!) I ran them through my digital desk again (Vmix) playing them back and re recording them using AVi and the normal dv option...this time the files produced would render and output...hoorah  now see if i can finish it..will report back, but this seems to have sorted me out.

  • Dramatically slower encode/render times from Premiere Pro CC 2014 via both AME 2014 and direct export via PP

    My recent update to Adobe CC 2014 apps has been an unmitigated disaster.  Was running the 2013 version until last week and everything was just dandy.  Very good performance and excellent render/encode times even for stuff with lots of filters and fx. 
    Since update 1-2 min videos with no fx or filters (or even transitions) have gone from exporting in under two minutes to well over 25 minutes.  These exports are with the same presets I regularly use (Vimeo 720HD H.264). 
    I've been poking around the forums here for two days looking for answers and can't find anything that works.  Tried the whole "App Nap" toggle as well as a few other tips.  Didn't do squat.  Looking for any hints/answers.  Thanks.

    Maybe updating your project file has something to do with it. I'll keep my eye on this issue. Thanks for reporting.

  • Unbelievably slow audio render times!

    I've been dealing with his for a while now on this documentary I've been working on. When I export my timeline which is right around an hour, it takes around 2 HOURS just to render audio previews before it will export! The bulk of my timeline is a single track with no effects at all. Video renders faster than the audio! The only thing unusual about my project is it is largely composed of longish multi-cam sequences - about 30 sequences ranging from 30 mins to 90 mins. It's appears PP is rendering audio for every bit of my source sequences even though only a few seconds or minutes of each one is actually being used. I don't know what else could be happening.
    I was thinking that since some of the audio was recorded at 44.1K maybe that was a problem and some of the sequences had several tracks of audio so to solve this I went through every sequence and rendered out a stereo mix at 48/16 and deleted the old audio. That seemed to help for a while as with CS6 I was getting a very annoying "rendering required audio files" message every time I hit play until I rendered the audio which as I said takes a really long time. Also I can render this but if I close Premiere and re-open I have to render it all over again. It is not keeping the audio render files. Premiere CC is better about playing back without the render message but it still needs to render for export. I have no idea why it would need to render audio from 48/16 source files.
    I have reported this to Adobe but just thought I'd put this here to see if anybody else is having issues. If any audio rendering should ever be required in this day and age it should be extremely fast. This problem has really brought exporting to a crawl for this project.
    Adobe CC, OSX 10.8.4 on a 12 core Mac Pro with a GTX 570 32GB ram, and BM Studio. My RAID is a 3 disk internal raid with 3 3TB disks in RAID 0. The video renders reload properly. The situation would be better if the audio renders reloaded at least but why it needs to render "audio previews" for such simple audio is beyond me. And as I mentioned I went through quite a bit of trouble to make it as easy on Premiere as possible by replacing all of the 44.1 audio with 48/16 wavs.

    Let me start by saying I am only a hobbyist and do this more for my son and niece since they are musicians and play live in a number of venues.  I am not an electrical or audio engineer (I am an aeronautical engineer) so what I am about to say is based only on what seems logical to me…  First rendering audio should simply be faster than rendering video given the amount of digital data that needs to be processed.  That stated, I know that the Mercury engine using CUDA to process video vastly speeds the rendering of video.  Regardless, using today’s CPUs (i7 3930K in my case) should and does more than make up for the additional processing power for rendering video using CUDA. 
    It seems to me that there is a bigger problem than whether or not we are flattening, nesting or locking our tracks.  It shouldn’t take as long as it is taking for some of us to render audio!!!
    I only experienced this problem one time.  I am not even sure what I did to change the outcome on the same project that I have since edited and rendered many times.  But now the audio renders very quickly (less than a minute).  I will say that in almost all cases my music videos have different audio sources (44.1KHz, 48KHz 16bit, 48KHz 24bit, and 96KHz 24bit) and that I set all my sequences to 96KHz since my master audio sources are recorded at that.  I use an external firewire RME Fireface 800 using RME ASIO divers to handle all audio.  I do find that this setup can be stubborn in that there are times PPro CC doesn’t know what to do regarding my audio so simply won’t allow me to play any track.  When this happens I simply remind PPro CC of my settings by going to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware then check that the Adobe Desktop Audio is set to ASIO FireFace and click on ASIO Settings to check that the buffer size and sample rate are correct.  If they are not I read the flash from the RME and all is good. 
    But I diverge, there is a problem Adobe and it needs to be fixed.  This never happened to me using CS6…

  • Media Encoder CS6 won't render queued project from Pr CS6

    What's up with Adobe? All of a sudden, Pr CS6 no longer works with AME. I Queue from Pr and AME launches with file in Queue. I press Render button, and it takes several minutes before anything shows up in a the Encoding tab. When it does, I get an endless "Connecting to Dynamic Link server..." message, before finally, after several minutes, it fails. Log states that it can't read the source file. I suspect this is a Dynamic Link issue, since the source file is exactly where the log says it should be. I've noticed recently that Dynamic Link hung up also when trying to send a clip to Ae to round trip effects back to Pr. I just ended up doing the work in Ae and imported it manually into Pr. So much for the heralded 'interoperability'. You spend a couple grand on CS6 Master Collection to have all the tools, and many of them have all kinds of issues. Au, for example, crashes 75% of the time when I open it. Reopen it again and it works fine. Ae often continually gives me 'program has stopped working' dialog with an option to quit, and many times it is talking about one of many instances it has launched in the background, and when I say 'quit', the main program I see just keeps on working. And now, out of the blue, Pr / AME queuing stopped working. It's worked since I installed CS6 over a year ago with no issues, with th elast time being about a month ago, now it doesn't. BTW, I'm on CS6 on an HP Z820. Win 7 Ultimate. And I tried all the solutions posted under the similar problem someone posted about the CC version. Confirmed that dynamiclinkmanager is running.

    > Adobe tools aren't the best option for upscaling.
    Huh?
    If you can find something better than After Effects CC (12.2) with the Detail-Preserving Upscale effect for up-saling, I want to know what it is.

  • Premiere CC 7.2.1 - Crashes during timeline Render

    Hi All.
    I am running a MacPro5,1 OSX 10.7.5 and Premiere CC 7.2.1. Ever since updating the software I have experience crash on timeline renders and very slow running. There's also a strange thing happening on the odd occassion of, once the render is completed (visibly on the timeline) the render box continues to create new previews and renders. I left it going once and it went into the tens of thousands.... The footage I am Editing is Time Lapse renders in Prores HQ 422 mix with 5D mk 2 footage.
    I have also downloaded and update the CC update for 7.2.1 about 4 times now and each time I restart my computer the CC app says I need to upgrade again. Premiere CC however says it is updated and states so on the information window.
    I also have an issue with my effects rendering not reloading properly when I start up Premiere CC. Even though I save all the time, my scratch disks are set and the cache seems to be working fine, no joy in saving renders.
    Can any help?
    Thanks Scott
