Export time in Premiere/ME 130+ hours

Adobe Premiere 6.0.0 and Media Encoder 6.0.0.382 on Mac 10.6.8 using SSD drive for progams and OWC harddrive for projects/files.
I am working on CS6 CC, I finished a 20 minute edit. It has minor levels/3 way color, some warp stabilizer--but nothing external as of yet. I have about 5 video tracks and 10 audio tracks. This is my first export since upgrading to CS6--I am trying to export a h.264 HD vimeo file (tried both 720 and 1080).
My issue is that when I export either from premiere pro or from media encoder, the export time starts at about 2 and a half hours at first then slowly counts up instead of counting down. It has reached up to 130 hours (after exporting for 30 hours) before I stopped it to try a lower quality. I have been trying to export this project for four days. It seems that all three times I tried in media encoder, the time is still adding but the output preview is stuck on one frame (which was a different frame in each export).
I would say that I do not have the fastest and most upgraded computer, but I know that it worked fine before with CS5. 

Thank you Joe for responding. I was very hopeful that this would be the solution. I removed all of the warp stabilizers and it appeared that it was working. The time evened out at about 4 hours but was still going up and down between 3-4 hours (at least it was going down at all). I left it with 2 hours left and I have come back to find it like it was before.  The time is going up on the "remaining time" and the preview is stuck on the same image.
Has it stopped working? Or is it really taking this long? (And why is it stuck on the preview frame).
Thanks for any help in advance.

  • Premiere Pro export issues. Unknown error messages, extremely slow export times, strange I/O & disk usage

    Hello,
    I'm hoping I can start getting answers to some big issues I've been having running Premiere pro. I've had similar issues with CS6 but it seems like with CC and every recent update, the problem hasn't been resolved, its even worse.
    The main issue I have is seeing the 'unknown error' message everytime I try to export a file. I'm working with RED footage. When I turn off the CUDA support, I can export without the error but my export time goes from a few minutes to sometimes hours in the render time!
    I've looked through pages and pages of forums and there are so many people saying the same thing, with millions of opinions of what the problem is. Regardless, the only thing I tried that worked so far is turning off the CUDA support.
    Now something I recently noticed, is that the difference isn't the GPU usage, I still show GPU being used at 500mb or 1gb out of the 2gb that it has (GTX 680)
    The strange thing is without the mercury playback option, I'm seeing that disk usage and I/O go way down to kbs from a very high number. This would make sense why I'm seeing such huge changes in render times even though it still shows my 6 core CPU maxed out and ram over 40gb out of 64 that are installed.
    Does anyone have a suggestion on what may be happening here? Its the only thing that has plagued my system using Premiere since day one and there seems to be no way around it..

    Best way to get a real answer is go to the Tweaker's Page, download the most recent PPBM benchmark test, and run it. It's a folder that has a resource monitoring/logging program and a PrPro project with files that is short but HEAVY in effects, both AE and PrPro, so it tests all parts of a system's capabilities from disc in/out to GPU capability/use to CPU, fsb, RAM, you name it ... and after sending that back in you get a complete report on where your computer did well and what the choke-points were.
    Also ... over on the Hardware forum is the place where the techies amongst us hang ...

  • Spooky Slow Export Time – Any Thoughts???

    I’m running Production Premium CS6 package on Windows 7, AMD Phenom IIx6, 64-bit, 16 GB RAM, with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 adapter.  (I know, my adapter is no longer supported.  A real editing card is on the shopping list!)
    Here’s the issue: Editing a long clip for our local church with their new video system.  They, thankfully, added another camera angle with a standard camcorder.  This was the only footage recorded for the first ½ hour of the presentation due to the fact that the operator forgot to push his/her new button.  Consequently, this is the only footage that can be utilized during that time frame.  These segments were quite grainy and treated with Video Toaster, totaling two cuts at 6 and 8 minutes apiece.  5 more cuts, ranging from 12 to 28 seconds fall later in the piece.  These were all rendered separately and as the last renders of the process.
    This footage was imported at 1080p/MP4.  Footage from the church system was recorded and imported in 720p/mp4.  There is an additional clip from an existent video of 16 minutes, imported in an mov. format.  Intro and out are mov. at 15 seconds with an additional 7 second of avi cut into the intro. All, with the exception of the MOV video, are laid over an audio track in a pkf format.
    Effects are limited to the Video Toaster clips mentioned and Brightness & Contrast on all except the 16 minute video.  Overall duration is 1;20;15.  All unused clips and files were discarded and I’m exporting to the Vimeo 720, 29.97 preset in Premiere.  The first export estimated at 32 hours and an immediate 2nd calculated the export at 52.  After a check and double-check, I looked to Media Encoder where I saw an estimated 17 hour export before I declined this option.  Here I cleared the Media Cache and checked export once again, estimated at 24 hours and accepted this option.  That was 37 hours ago and the encoding sequence is currently at 68% with an estimated 15;29;53 left…
    What I find distressing is that an export usually runs CPU’s at 90% or above and they are currently running between 17-33% at +/- 5 GB RAM.  This will ramp up on occasion to normal levels and I’ll see the encode progress, sometimes rapidly, sometimes in spurts.
    My thoughts are that I’ve overlooked something obvious and sophomoric.  Similar pieces in length of this mix-and-match type have exported in much, much less time.  Did I drop the ball by clearing the Cache?  Is it Video Toaster… Or, could it be an unknown codec from the new camera system, to which I don’t have a clue???  I doubt it, but could it be the pkf and should I have taken this to an AAC?
    Thanks for any and all advice ahead of time!

    Jeff,
    Thanks for getting back so quick on this one.  Yes, CUDA is installed and up and running.  I didn’t import through Media Browser, but compiled all media in a folder on the desktop before beginning the project.  All auto-saves, etc., are placed here just so I don’t get things lost with projects like this.  I wouldn’t think this would slow it, but it’s a new format for me and seemed like a good idea at the time.  I’ve only done a couple other projects this way and haven’t noticed variables in speed before.  And, yes, I used “VBR 2-pass”.
    Here’s a full screen shot:
    Export:
    The variables in this, as opposed to what I have experienced in the past, are those listed above; namely Video Toaster, but also the unknowns of the church cameras and the fact I cleared the cache.  Now, I did attempt to rerender, only to find this wasn’t necessary.
    Also, it seems Video Toaster isn’t supported through CUDA as it requires full render.  Once this is rendered though, shouldn’t PP utilize this without having to re-encode?  Could this be what’s slowing the machine?  Again, my worry here is that I’ve overlooked the obvious, but I’ve been doing this quite a while… yet that’s when I seem to make the silliest mistakes!
    The reason I didn't cancel this one was that I finally pulled the "go" trigger on it at 10:30pm and when I woke yesterday it was at 33%.  (Seemed a bit slow, but not overtly.)  While I was assessing the situation the CPU jumped to 90% and the "encode" bar gradually (as seemed normal) to increase to 51%.  Then, as the day progressed and up to this point, 26 hours later we, have it only at 68%.  This is a SPEC piece and I have a paying gig starting Saturday for which, I will need the machine.  My worry is that if all is working corectly and it is just being slowed by Video Toaster that I will have waisted valuable time.  The flip-side to this is obvious and that's why I finally decided to seek help here.
    And, yes, I need an i7 processor but it’s great to hear your confidence in the GPU!
    Thanks again!

  • Export time very slow.

    Hi guys, i-v read some thems on the forum, but I am not an english speaking person, so it's kind of hard for me to receive a lot of information in a diffrent language at the same time. So I would like to create a new theme, where you probably will be able to help me.
    I am using Adobe Premiere CS 6. I have an HP DV7 laptom with the folowwing configuration:

    2. Nvidia GeForce GT 650M with unabled CUDA (I mean in Premiere it's shown as unabled)
    The premiere is installed on disc C, the info is on Disk D (different HDD from C).
    I shoot on an Canon 7D camera full HD 1080x1920, 25 fps. Sequence is the same as camera shooting h264 format.
    When I export i select MPEG2 movie, 1920x080, 25 fps, 30 bitrate.
    1 hour clip is then exported in about 4-5 hours, what seems extremly long for me...

    Thank you, is there a way to fasten the rendering and export time? What should I look for upgrading my laptop?

  • Videos export with purple/green artifacts/splotches/flashes with Media Encoder CC but export fine with Premiere Pro CC?

    I use Premiere Pro CC to edit videos, and videos render fine when I export through Premiere Pro, but when I try to use Media Encoder CC, the video exports with weird splotches of green/purple artifacts all throughout. It almost looks like the video is glitching and having a seizure of green and purple. No idea why this happens. Could anybody help me? I use Media Encoder to export bulks of videos at a time through its queue feature, which is why I prefer to use Media Encoder for video exporting.
    Please and thanks.

    Mitch,
    I was hoping that you and others might have some insight as to whether the purple and green artifacts / splotches seen in the attached screenshots (taken from 4 consecutive frames here but occurring through the entirety of the clip) could possibly have resulted from exporting video with ~ Premiere Pro CS5 or 6 ? As seen below, these splotches alternate back and forth between purple and green in every consecutive frame. I was also hoping that someone might know if this is a relatively common type of artifact and how it is caused.

  • Exporting Quicktimes from Premiere Pro

    When exporting video from Premiere pro, uncompressed or HD 1080i Quicktime settings crash my machine every time , any idea why? I'm trying to find the best export to give to a colleague working remotely on a mac using aftereffects

  • Exporting problem with premiere pro

    Hi again everyone.  This time Im having a problem exporting out of Premiere Pro.  I have noticed it trying 2 different applications.
    1st, when I get the error saying that my video is to big to fit on a dvd, I go back and select SETTINGS and normally downsize it, however,
    when I tried to do that after I selected SETTINGS, the program froze up and wherever I clicked it just beeped, even if I tried to close
    Premiere.  It does the same thing when I try to Export with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER.  Thats what I use to render video for youtube and
    such.
    I don't recall making any changes to any settings that would cause these problems.  Any help you can give me is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Tonya

    already did that, its the only way to get it going again.  Have rebooted multiple times.  Its
    almost as if the window should be coming up, but isn't, it just freezes the rest of the program
      Im really afraid to uninstall and reinstall the whole program, because someone else helped me
    set it up and I don't know if Id get all the setting right again. 

  • I have purchased Asus STRIX-GTX980. Now what should I change settings in Premier Pro and After Effects to reduce export time

    I have recently purchased Asus STRIX-GTX980 4GB with i7 4790K.
    Now what settings are to be optimized in Pr  (CS6) to reduce Export time . Please explain in Detail Please explain in Detail step by step
    Now what settings to be optimized in Ae (CS6) to reduce Export time . Please explain in Detail step by step .
    The main Motto of noto is to reduce expot times.
    Please help me set values .

    As Dave says, GPU does very little in AE, see this: GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects
    Now, some third-party plugins (such as Red Giant Universe and Video Copilot's Element 3d) do make use of the GPU in AE, but their requirements have nothing to do with AE or its settings.
    Premiere, on the other hand, does make use of a GPU, you should ask in that forum what they suggest.
    Also, in the future, I would suggest checking on system requirements and benefits BEFORE making a purchase...

  • Share and Export time extreme

    Started using Final Cut Pro X and I like a lot of the new features. One thing is concerning me is Sharing or Exporting time. I had a 2 hour training video that I needed to export to mp4 file.  I tried many different methods using Final Cut Pro X and Compressor and the time on an 8 Core with 10 Gig of ram was 14 hours. I checked  the processor uses during the export and all processors were running near max. Unless I am doing something wrong this seems extreme. Any suggestions?

    Maybe this could help:

  • Exporting Time FCP and Compressor

    I have a PowerPc G5, Leopard and FCP 6.
    My footage is Apple ProRes 422. This is the first time I'm using this HD footage. (my first movie and all the videos I've made in the past were miniDV)
    When I exported through the Export Quick Time Movie the hour long edit took about 10 - 15 minutes. The info for the footage is -
    1920 x 1080
    HDV 1080p24 integar (Big Edian) Timecode
    1:01:57 Time
    The problem is it's 11.48 GB and DVD Studio Pro will not compress it so I can make a DVD. (my first miniDVD movie's export was 18gigs and iDVD compressed it to a single DVD) I nolonger have iDVD and I have to use DVD Studio Pro.
    I put this movie into Compressor and tried compresssing it. When it finally starts compressing, it says it will take at least 47 hours. Which seem outragous for an hour long movie. The first two times it failed after 6 hours.
    Then I went into FCP and tried exporting half the movie (30 minutes) with H264, Quality High, Size 680x382 (current). In 12 hours it was 25% with another 27 hours to go.
    Is this normal?
    How long should it take to export an hour of HighRes 422 clips?
    Is there a setting that I can export fairly quick so I can watch this on my PC and burn a DVD so I can see what it looks like on my TV? It has to be very good, but not the best quality.
    This is the first half of a movie that will eventually be close to 2 hours. I can't imagine how long the completed project is going to be.
    Thank You!

    It actually just said Fail. No reason, no nothing. What might have happened is I've been trying for over 2 days to get this working right, and nothing worked. Last night I exported the sound to AIFF and burned a CD of it, and there's nothing there.
    After that, I shut down the computer for a little while, and went back to work. It might have been a glitch that formed from one of the export attempts. 
    I'm doing this just to watch it on other TVs and computers.
    So I went into Export Using QT Conversion
    Chose OPTIONS
    Changed Settings to Medium Quality, One Pass
    Changed Size to NTSC 720 x 480 16:9
    I have a movie that about 1gig and looks pretty good. It didn't even take 3 hours. 
    Now I just have to see what it looks like on other machines.
    In Compressor I used the Best Quality for 90 minute DVD and it just sat there for hours not registering anything. I might try again if the DVD I burn of this 264 looks like absolute garbage on my TV. But, for what I'm using it for, it doesn't have to be perfect yet. That comes after I edit the second half.
    Thanks for the help!

  • Increase export times

    Hi all-
    I'm under the gun a bit with a Friday deadline and tons of video to export into h.264 files destined for streaming.
    As always, I'm just doing a Export>Using Quicktime conversion with the settings that I like, but the export times are pretty brutal. 20 minutes or so for a five minutes of video. My machine usually runs pretty fast.
    One thing that is a bit different is that I'm using some very long sequences. Upwards of 3.5 hours. But, I'm using in and out markers to cut into 3-5 minute clips. My assumption would be that FCP is looking only at the in and out markers, so I don't know why the size of the sequence might matter, but perhaps it does. Maybe I should cut my sequences smaller - though again - I can't imagine why that would matter? Any thoughts on this or other ways that I can expedite a bit without lowering quality settings?
    Also, I typically only use compressor when I'm exporting to an mpeg format, but can I use compressor to generate h.264? That way maybe I could create a batch that could render some of these clips overnight?
    Any thoughts or advice on how I can pick this up a bit is definitely appreciated.
    Warm regards-
    David

    I figured as much (though I can't really check the export utility now, because I'm in the middle of a brutally long export of a five minute clip).
    I'll do that for overnight.
    How about while I'm awake? I always prefer to monitor things vs. the overnight batch. In your experience does exporting to h.264 through compressor work faster than through export using qt conversion?
    Maybe I'll give that a "go" with one clip once this current job is done and see for myself.

  • Export time estimation of Essbase

    I understand that the database export time of Essbase should depends on the database size, disk IO rate, CPU, and other factors. However any high level estimation of experience on the time estimation? For example, if we have a database of 100GB on SAN disk array with Windows Server 2003 of dual CPU, say, what will be the rough estimate of a database export task? Will it be 4 hours, 10 hours, or 40 hours?
    Or any experience tried before and can give us some real example for sharing?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hello -
    I have seen that Level 0 export should not be that bad (2-3hours max) for an 80gb database when -
    1) You run the process when not much going on the server (other calcs etc)
    and
    2) You run parallel export of the same database with multiple threads
    RegardsThanks for your experience sharing. 80GB export requires 3 hours is not bad. I heard that there are another case that requires 20 hours for 20GB database. Maybe there are some hardware or disk configuration difference.
    What is the hardware configuration for your 80GB database level 0 export?

  • Will Quadro 4000 cuda a lower export time?

    Hi!
    I produce a weekly show of 25 minutes and normally it takes around 2 hours to export to the format I need to deliver in using my 8 core 2010 MacPro.
    After we started using three plugins (unsharpen mask, and Magic Bullet's "Mojo" and "Cosmo") export times has risen to 15-16 hours and editing is not fluent / realtime.
    I know for sure that a Quadro 4000 graphics card will make it possible to edit realtime without having to render, but will it also lower the export time ?
    Thank you

    If you've got too much time on your hands, take a look at this PP benchmark site. I don't think there are any Mac OS computers on the site. But I think you can get an idea how much you might gain with either faster or more CPU's.
    http://ppbm5.com/DB-PPBM5-2.php
    But, if you're thinking about getting a new Mac, you might want to wait. Most of the rumor sites think Apple will be announcing a new Mac Pro line by the end of this year, or early next. Based on Intel's CPU schedule. I tend to believe Apple will do so. Since the Mac Pro is still around, I would think it's because they plan on updating it. If they were going to kill, it would probably be gone.
    Unless they announce that they're working on a new, awesome and revolutionary Mac Pro.  And it's gonna change the way we compute.
    Wait, that was FCP X. And now I'm on my PP post number 8.
    Never mind.

  • IMovie exporting time unbelievable long!!!

    Hi, sorry my english is very bad. I'm running iMovie HD 6.0 on a PB G4, 1,5 GHz with 2 GB DDR SDRAM, OS 10.4.10. Suddenly, I don't know why, exporting a 40 minutes film (130 clips, mixed .mpeg and .wmv files) will need 900 Minutes to get converted into a simple Quick Time (.mov) film (900 minutes were announced after iMovie had already be run for 180 Minutes!!!!). A few weeks ago it took me 120 minutes to convert!!! As well I cannot convert into .wmv anymore even I still have the Flip4Mac (V.2.1.2.72) installed.
    Meaby anybody is able to help me???
