Help! messed up renders in timeline

(I'm reposting because no one has yet responded and I'm on a deadline...)
I'm having a strange problem with FCP 6.0.3 : Footage looks fine in the timeline during editing but, after a render of "green" preview clips, the rendered clips show the wrong parts (i.e. FCP seems confused about the timecode). If I un-render those clips, the footage is okay again.
My timeline is DVCProHD but mixes footage of various formats. The problems appear to be only in non-DVCProHD footage that needs to be rendered (i.e. DV, HDV, and Apple Intermediate Codec). Also, when I pasted part of an older sequence into my new timelines, some clips are displaying in the wrong aspect ratio, and FCP has added small gaps to other parts of the timeline (i.e missing frames).
Can anyone help??
I thought it may be corrupt preferences, so I ran FCP Rescue 6, but no luck.
Thanks!

Thanks Michael.
Compiling this list, I realize I may be going for a new record for mixing formats -- live action HD and DV plus various types of screen capture footage. I have been scaling all the footage up to the sequence size.
If you have a solution for re-compressing the problem footage into a high quality format (that would not lose image quality), please let me know codec and software so I can run more tests.
My sequence settings are:
Vid Rate: 23.98 fps
Frame size: 960x720

Clips are stored on external G-RAIDs. It seems many of the problem clips are actually on a different G-RAID than the other footage (could that make a difference?). However, other media stored on this drive (DVCProHD and AVI format) renders correctly.

Please help me!--rendering makes the images or video blurry (very pixelated) deteriorates the image Adobe Premier Elements 13 need help! .jpg and mpeg images, but I have never "rendered" before since I got APE 13 about 6 weeks ago. I am desperate for assistance!

That's going to be a ridiculous waste of money and energy.
First of all, the current ATI drivers don't support multiple GPUs, so at the moment even a single 4870X2 would be only a 'normal' 4870 (which is quite a speed beast already). GFX drivers evolve rapidly, so things might look different next month, but when it comes to Linux and hardware there's one Golden Rule: stay away from the newest stuff and wait for proper support to get coded.
I also wonder what power supply could possibly cope with the differences between idle and full load; that's way beyond 400W. But then, I'm one of those "quiet&green" types where >100W idle is already a bit much.
I kind of understand that you want to get it done and not worry about hardware for the next 10 years or so, but that's simply not how the hardware world works and never did. At least not for the average consumer.

Premiere Pro is not using all core power for rendering of timeline

I have got PremierePro CS5.5 and i7 920 and nvidia GTX 295. When i edit my footage (cineform) everything is fine becouse i am using CUDA boost but when i am trying to render timeline i saw on my CPU & GPU Monitor that rendering is using maybe about 10% of power of all cores (8 cores). How to do to use all cores power when i am rendering my timeline?

When i am using cuda i work much faster with fullhd timeline than i am working with cpu. I thought that cuda is accelerating only editing of timeline becouse line is always yellow and when i am using rendering line is green and system is using cpu power. So i thought that cuda is acceleration only for editing without rendering acceleration. When i would use cuda for rendering acceleration system should work faster than with cpu rendering and it`s not true.
What is fastest way to turning off CUDA (to turn it on for a while).
Thanks a lot...

Need help saving a rendered video in Premiere Elements 13...

I have a rendered video that I am ready to save to my computer. The last Premiere Elements program I had was 1.0 lol. In 1.0, I would select to export the video as .avi and use that to burn to a dvd. In Premiere Elements 13, "export" is grayed out. What it looks like I need to do now is Publish the rendered video, but I don't know what to select to save it to my computer for future burning to a Blue Ray Disc. I plan on using Nero to burn the video to BD. Any help would be appreciated.

AndyD74
File Menu/Export/Movie is last seen in Premiere Elements 7. Now File Menu/Export/Title remains.
Your export opportunities for Premiere Elements 13/13.1 are in the Publish+Share area of the program. Have you updated 13 to 13.1 yet using an opened project's Help Menu/Updates? If not, consider doing so.
What are the properties of your source media on the Timeline that is destined for Nero for your burn to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
Have you considered taking your Timeline directly to Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc in Premiere Elements 13/13.1 using Publish+Share/Disc/Blu-ray?
Depending on your reply to the above, you could explore for your file....

Help - canvas doesn't match timeline -- ghost images appear

Hi,
After having no problem in panther and final cut 5.0 I've had to upgrade to tiger (10.4.8) and FCP 5.1.2. When I opened and edited my project, I got a sort of ghost image (a still image from elsewhere in the timeline) appearing in the canvas over where another clip should be. This happened once and I tried everything (deleting and then brining in clean copy of clip) and no dice. The good news is that when I output to QT.mov, everything looks as it should.
But suddenly, I'm having this problelm in many areas of my project, which makes it hard to edit at all. Has anyone else had this problem? I've tried rendering everything, but it doesn't change anything.
Two other clues:
1) at the same time I've had trouble getting VoiceOver to recognize where i am in the timeline so have had to create "In" marker for the project at that spot where I'm doing a new voiceover.
2) For what it is worth, there does seem to be some odd lines (same color as rendered project but as if cut into smaller pieces in the area of the timeline that triggers this).
please help! (and thanks in advance)

Glad to help. I'm glad to see someone else is working in NY on this cold, gray day. One thing I cannot recommend too highly; browse this forum every day. You see a topic that might be useful, read it. Pretty soon, you'll be an expert at troubleshooting fcp.

Help serious Audio rendering issues within final cut pro

Hello
I have some serious audio issues I am using Final cut 6.05. Here is my problem I am putting a AUParametricEq filter on my audio due wind noise etc. Anyway when i play it back on the time line it plays fine no problems but as soon final cut renders the file say for mastering to tape. at some point at the audio the audio goes all haywire, popping sounds or the audio just repeats it self at one frame or i can here audio from other parts of the timeline. And it just happened before i never had the issue. Is it the update. Hope anybody can help as I need to master about 6 projects to tape to clean my harddrives and all 6 projects have the same issue.

Help! Trouble Rendering 16:9 footage in AE, and playing it in Premiere Pro!

I have two issues:
#1. I've spent hours searching for a solution to this dilemma, and I've only managed to come across "similar" problems other people have been having... However, I still cannot fix my problem.
Basically, I've been editing some footage in After Effects. The source material was filmed in HDV 1080, 30 fps; the source's aspect ratio was 1440 x 1080. I attempted to render the completely-edited footage in an AVI format with the compression codec: Xvid MPEG-4 Codec (as was suggested by a tutorial video on YouTube) and with an aspect ratio of 1024 x 768. But, no matter what I do, my rendered video always comes out horizontally "squeezed" when viewed in Windows Media Player, and when uploaded to YouTube/Facebook. Fortunately, when imported to Premiere Pro, I can interpret the footage properly so it's not squeezed.
Is there anyway I can render footage in After Effects so the widescreen product isn't "squeezed" in WMP/Facebook/YouTube?
#2. Even though the footage can be interpreted properly in Premiere Pro, the playback is jumpy - like, it'll only play 2 seconds smoothly, and then get stuck, jumping to points that are 5-7 seconds apart. Surprisingly, the original source material does not have this issue in Premiere Pro, despite having a larger aspect ratio and a file size that's more than twice as large. I thought maybe a small RAM was the problem, but my computer has 3.8 GB of usable space on the RAM when I checked. Rendering the work area after every little edit I do is getting too tedious, 'cause it takes about a minute to render the 12 second footage - but at least it plays back smoothly... I don't have to do this with the original source, though. Is there a way around this? What's causing the jumpy playback in Premiere Pro CS 5.5?
Thanks...

If you want to render for any media player (QT or Windows) you must use a square pixel format that's appropriate to the codec you're using. AE's presets that use square pixels are all legal frame sizes. If you want to have Premiere or any other NLE playback footage you render in After Effects without having to re-render the previews you must use the same codec you're using for the sequence.
Your frame size from Premiere is NOT square pixels, it's DVC Pro HD with a 1.33 PAR so unless you bring that footage into a square pixel comp (1920 X 1080 for example) or resize it on export using the Adobe Media Encoder (recommended) or by Resizing in the Output Module (not recommended for a bunch of reasons) the output is going to look squeezed in any media player.
Rendering to the Xvid MPEG 4 codec from AE isn't recommended at all because MPEG codecs only give good results when you use multi pass ending (AME will do that), but more importantly MPEG codecs are GOP codecs which make up the data for several virtual frames from a few real (i frames), and they take a tremendous amount of CPU power to decode.
Your best rendering choices are a lossless 10 bit codec (black magic for example) or a lossless like Animation Quicktime if you need alpha channels, or nearly lossless codec like Photo JPEG QT at 95% quality when you're doing further production on the footage including color correction, or to render to the same codec the camera uses. Only the same codec used for your PPro sequence will give you smooth playback in Premiere Pro without rendering previews.
If you told us what codec the camera uses we'd be able to help you figure out the best option for rendering.

Help a newbie with her timeline

(Something to keep in mind: I learned Flash 7 a few years ago
(quite in depth, actually) but forgot it all. Just recently, I have
picked up a tutorial book and have kind-of gotten back into it. I
know the basics, but be gentle in your advice.)
I need help! I have created an interactive flash animation on
our company's landing page that shows you how the product exercises
the muscles. I am having trouble with my timeline, I beleive.
Check it out here, bottom of right column:
Flash
Animation In Need of Help
Ideally, what I want to happen is the individual movie clips
will spin and then stop. Once you click on them, it will show you a
close up of a figure and highlight what muscles that exercise uses.
Then, once you click on the next exercise, the one you were on will
go back to a static (non-spinning) image of the exercise and will
stay that way, no matter whether you skip around or go from first
to last exercise (this only makes sense if you look at the above
link).
Right now I have one flash file that contains 4 movie
clips/buttons (each of the exercises).They are in their seperate
layers in the first frame. In each layer, there is the first movie
clip (spinning) in frame 1; in the next frame I have the movie clip
that highlights the muscle groups which plays once you click on the
first movie clip. Directly after this, in the next frame, I have a
button/jpg of the original exercise that does not spin, but when
clicked will take you to the highlighted movie clip. The frames are
stacked, so that each of the highlighting clips are one frame
further down the line than the layer on top of it, so they don't
play at the same time.
Therein lies my problem. For example, if you click on the
last exercise, then click on the second exercise, the exercises
beneath it spin because on the second layer, the highlighting movie
clip is on the same frame as these movie clips' spinning image (if
that doesn't make sense, let me know and I'll show you an image of
my timeline).
What I need help on is how to keep this from happening.
Again, this all might not make much sense, but please ask me if you
need further clarification.
ANY ideas?

I think you've answered your own question José!
The page is deeper than your monitor screen size (it doesn't move on my monitor set at 1350deep) and is producing a scroll bar at the right which bumps the page in to accommodate the bar size.

Help with Layer Positioning and TimeLine

Hello all, here is my situation:
I am trying to do a simple Layer animation for my home
page... 4 Layers startoff at the right of my webpage(table) and end
up at the left handside, as an example.
My problem is I have a main 1x1 table that is centered, and
that works fine to center all the text and images that are within
it, but the layers that I tried placing within it stay absolute to
the screen and not relative to the table.... and if I try to
specify relative position in the first place for any of the layers
that Layer disapears from my Layer panel and I cannot timeline with
it???!!!
This Started out as a lame trial to avoid making a flash
movie for this animation.. but right now I am more interested in
knowing the possibilities and limitations of using Layers and
Timelines in Dreamweaver.... Any help or comments are most welcome.

I have requested that the thread be removed, Andrew. That's
the best we can
do, I'm afraid. Thing is, it can only be removed from the
webforums, and
not from the local computers of those who have already

Premiere freezes when rendering in timeline (exporting is working fine). After crash, project seems corrupted.

OK... I'm using the latest PP CC with Windows 7 64-bit on an iMac.
I recently formatted my hard drive and reinstalled Premiere, and since then I've been unable to render in timeline (pressing enter). I can still export media without rendering, and it all works perfectly, but when I try to render it always freezes and I have to force quit program.
In addition to this problem, when I try to re-open the project I was working on it says "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type".
I've read some threads on this, and I'm able to make a new project and import the sequences from the corrupted project onto it, but I don't want to have to do this every time! Is there any way to fix these problems?
Thank you.

Hi,
The error message that you have given occurs mainly when Premiere Pro is not activated properly or even sometimes when Creative Cloud Desktop app is not updated or you are not signed in.
To troubleshoot, first make sure your Creative Cloud Desktop app is updated and you are signed in. Next launch Premiere Pro and sign out and sign back in to Premiere. Next try to open your particular project.
In case you still get the same error, check your hosts file (hosts file location: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc).
Let me know the outcome.
Thanks!

Need help ASAP with rendering problem. (CS 5.5)

Beginning two days ago, rendering became a problem. I cannot complete rendering without freezing. All obvious troubleshooting has been done except perhaps to reinstall Premiere Pro. Your thoughts?

Welcome to the forum.
When you say "rendering," do you mean Rendering for smoothest playback, or do you mean Export to an output file?
Do you get any error messages?
At what point on the Timeline, does the program quit?
What is at that point in the Timeline?
Good luck,
Hunt

The machine is not chrashing or anything. Except from that
the machine is not able to complete the rendering.

I'm having a similar issue - I can't find an answer - it doesn't keep me form working however; if i need to show my timeline or sequence to a client I have to export it then re-import if my sequence is too complex for playback...

Picturesize problem after Rendering a timeline in Premiere Pro CS4

Hello,
I currently work with 4.1.0 and have the following problem. When I import Tif sequenze 1280x720 as film, first the film looks correct. The red line above in the timeline says that the sequence is not rendered. When I render now this timeline by pressing the Enter-key, after rendering the content looks zoomed in the preview and on an output monitor the picturesize shrink to approx. 70 %. But there is no effect on this track. This happens simply with original tif files. When I use JPEG files the problem does not exists. So I presume a problem when processing tif files. Do you know problem like this?
Thanks for an answer
André

André,
What are your Project/Sequence Presets?
Is Scale to Frame off, or on?
Good luck,

Need HELP with crazy rendering / saving problem

I am finishing up a project that I need to deliver on DVD in the next couple of days.
Suddenly, something strange is happening.
There are several audio clips that have some filters applied to them. When I play them in the timeline, they sound fine, until I render them.
Then, the audio in those clips gets muddy and way quiet.
When I click off the filter, the volume comes back.
Then, if I click on the filter again, the filtered settings are applied and it sounds fine.
However, as soon as I render, it all goes wacky again.
This is making me nervous, as the deadline is looming.
THanks for any help.

What are your timeline settings for audio? What are the filters for? If you export a small section as a test, does the audio sound bad when you play back the quicktime?
I just remembered - when I experienced this before, it was the result of audio that was inverted in one channel, so as long as they came out of separate speakers, there was no problem, but when they were mixed, they canceled each other out resulting in severely decreased volume.
As my problem was just with Voice Over, I simply deleted one of the audio channels, then doubled the remaining one and panned it properly.
Dunno if that's your issue, but you might investigate that...
