Need to render titles evertime project is opened

Hi
Just a quick question on rendering titles. If I save a project file where all the titles are rendered, can anybody tell why when I open it again there are red lines (need to render) over all the titles in the project?
Thanks
Craig

Craig,
Yes, Titles appear two places: the Project Panel, and then instances of those Titles in the Timeline. For unique Titles, you will need one of each in the Project Panel, but can have any number of instances of those in the Timeline. They are linked back to the Title in the Project Panel. What this means is that if you have same Title_01, and have used it 10 times in the timeline ("Meanwhile back at the pyramid") would be an example, and decide that they should all read "Meanwhile back at the Sphinx," you just need to make that change once and all of the instances will update to reflect that change. Now, if you want both, you would need to create a new Title with the other text, and then use as many instances of it, as is required. PrPro's Titler has one neat feature, a little icon, "Based on Existing Title," that will create another similar unique Title, based on the one in the Titler Panel. You will assign a name to that new one, and it will start as a perfect clone of the one you are basing on. Then, when you make changes to it, the do NOT affect any instance of the first Title, but will provide the same formatting, Styles, etc.. I use this "one-click" function all of the time. I also will Save as Template, any Title that I anticipate needing in other Projects, so I can load those, across all Projects, and base my new Title on the formatting and Styles. Not positive of exactly how PrE might differ here. Help, or others can direct you.
As Titles need to be Rendered for the smoothest playback, every time that you make a change, all instances of that Title will require Rendering again. Also, just adding a Title over fully Rendered footage, will then give you a red line, and you would need to Render all over, as PrE looks at all Clips/Titles on that part of the Timeline as a composite - one change will affect all of the Clips in that "composite."
Hope that this helps, and sorry that I do not know all of the in-n-outs of PrE's Titler, but just do not use it all that much. Others will know and can give you tips.

Need to render everytime I re-open project in PP3

My problem:
On a particular project, I need to re-render everything everytime I re-open project even after I have saved and closed project.
I also experience SERIOUS ERROR crashes or simply PP3 freezes while trying to render whole timeline, I need to render in chunks.
The project file is a single timeline 2:45 minutes long with only the clip on timeline in project; it's CFHD low res clips (not corrupted) and there's quite a lot of CF cross-fades in timeline (it's a trailer) with about 5-6 clip color corrected that need to be rendered.
My specs are:
PP3 + AspectHD v5.2 build 105
dualmonitors with Ultramon 2.6
AMD ATHLON x2 4600+
4 GB SDRAM2 733 Mghz (dual channels)
MATROX APVe
ASUS SLI-DELUXE
Sound Blaster X-FI

Hello Frederic,
I am having the same issue. I am also using AspectHD v5.2. The timeline which I am having this issue has many effects and also has some imported Photoshop files. Another aspect of this is that when I try and play the timeline the play-head jumps to the end of the timeline. If I render the clip it plays fine. Except when I exit Premiere and then open it again the renders are lost and I'm back at square #1. I have been struggling with this since November and am not sure how to fix it. I know you were hoping for an answer (as am I) but thought I would just chime in to let you know someone else is also having this issue --- for what it's worth...

Do you need to render a movie every time you open it in AE

Do you need to render a movie every time you open it in AE. It seems every time I open my project there is no sound. I don't think I am rendering correctly. My goal is to edit and animate o piece of a movie.

See this:
FAQ: How can I play or preview sound (audio)?

Do I need to render before saving?

Hi,
Do I need to render the video before the final render in the output format I want?
As I add titles and effects, I'm currently rendering the video - primarily because it's easier for me to work on the project if I can watch smoother video. At the end, I go to the share tab and render the project in the final format that I want e.g. mpg, etc.
I'm trying to see if I can speed up my workflow by skipping the intermediate renders before the final one. Or do I still need to keep rendering to prepare the footage for the final render?
Thanks,
Sam

No you don't. You don't really even have to render while you are working on the project.
Note that when you render only the area under Work Area Bar is rendered so, if you need to render an area because you want a better view of a transition or effect, you can set the Work Area Bar to cover only that area of your timeline, and then PRE will render only that area.
Cheers,

Do I need to render before exporting?

I have just put together a small project with three sequences in it. Nothing crazy, renders in about an hour on a PB G4/1Ghz. My question though — do I need to render before exporting to a Quicktime movie? Or will it render automatically before exporting?
Thanks,
Kristin.

On a PB/G4, an hour isn't that bad. I started editing on Sawtooth G4s, and had render times of 2-3 hours for not much video. Of course, it all depends on titles, layers, effects, etc.
Well, if you think about it, exporting a movie to Quicktime IS rendering. I don't think FCP is going to stick a blue "Unrendered" box in, or encode at Dynamic RT quality when making a movie file.

After Effects Render Engine Loads project over network then closes? Any advice please?

Hi,
I have just started trying to use the After Effects Render Engine over the network. I have followed some online video's where you have to set the main project computer as Multi Machine output etc and then collect folder to a network drive then go to the node computers and open Render Engine and go to watch folder and point it to your files on the network drive. It finds the project and opens it but then instantly closes it and then continues to search.
Where is this please?
Also I can't seem to tick "Skip Existing Files" in my project
Kind Regards
Joe

There is no built-in network render features in AE, so we probably need to see that video you are referring to.
A wild guess though, is that you are trying to render a video file, instead of an image sequence. "Skip Existing Files" only works with sequences. Anyway there is, to my knowledge, no way to make several machines write to the same video file. But you can start the project rendering an image sequence, from multiple computers, to the same network folder, and then use the "Skip Existing Files" feature to prevent overwriting the frames.

Final Cut Pro HD project file opens slowly

I have a very large movie project which is connected to about 800 gigs of HD footage split between two Lacie Extreme hard drives. Everything used to open fine, but when I tried to open the project this week, final cut opens fine but then it gets to the "reading project" and it takes an hour just to get to one percent. It did open after 30 hours or so.
I brought my hard drives to a computer lab and the project opened there, although the computer soon ran out of memory. My project files aren't corrupted, and my hard drives seem to be fine...so why is it taking so long for the project to open on my computer?
I've also had trouble copying files from my hard drives to my computer and vice versa. The larger the file, the longer the copying stays at "0%, 1 minute remaining" until it finally starts copying, at which point it is normal. Could this be related?

Thanks for responding.
I found that if I set final cut to play the footage at lower resolution and half the frame rate, the sequences would play without freezing as much, but this doesn't solve the bigger problem.
I have Activity Monitor open and right now it says Final Cut is using 8.4% CPU, with 654.2 MB of Real Memory and 1.76GB of Virtual memory. When I go to "Inspect" and to the Statistics tab, is says "Page Ins: 58398" There are also stats about Shared and Private Memory. I don't know how to interpret any of this.
I don't know that I have CMYK graphics, and what is multi-clip?
My hard drives are 80% and 95% full.
I will try duplicating the project and deleting all but the current version of my sequences. I will also try to use render manager. Are you saying it might help if I delete all renders and rerender what I need?
I did copy one sequence into a new project and am trying to open that now. It is taking a very long time...it will certainly load must faster than the huge project but it doesn't seem to have solved the problem.
Let me know what you think & thanks.

Strange Need to Render

I just created a 2-camera HDV multiclip sequence and have edited a clip into the timeline. I now get the dreaded red line indicating the need to render. I checked my clip and sequence settings against my Easy Setup settings, and everything is identical. Any clues why I'm getting the red line?
Thanks.
Paul S.

make sure that the actual sequence you are setting your multiclip is HDV. I'm saying this because it happend to me before. I opened a new project, then went to easy setup, didnt realize that the first sequence when the new project was opened wasn't HDV.
1. Easy Setup: Make sure its in the right setting
2. Make new sequence
3. drop in clip

Add title to project.

Project is open awaiting title before exporting.

Hi Peggy,
Since this is a one time project and Boris 3D can be a little intimidating to first-time users, would you like me to create the title and send it to you as a Quicktime Movie that you can add to the beginning?
*If so, would you like any motion on it, or just a straight title?* Also, when you say:
+"Purple text on white background.+
+Wordscapes: The Art of Seeing the Invisible+
+KEYNOTE ADDRESS NAPT • April 2002•Denver, Colorado • Peggy Osna Heller",+ would something like this be adequate?
!http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2434/3548935810_1f20a0710c.jpg?v=0!
If you'd like, I could try to walk you through making it on your own, but if you are pleased with this I could just send it to you. Do you want any animation for the title (e.g scrolling in, rotating, changing size, a custom effect, etc.), or just a still? Is this font and size OK? Anything else that needs changing?

In Premiere Elements 8, None of my projects will open. Says projects were created in Premiere Pro

In Premiere Elements 8, None of my projects will open. Says projects were created in Premiere Pro, when they were not. Cannot create new projects either. Basically, the program is completely bricked an unable to do anything once it gets past the welcome screen.
My projects are all saved as .prel
They were all working, when suddenly none of them would work any more. I can no longer use this program, and I really need to. Have already tried running the program as an administrator and creating a second admin account. Also tried going to the basic graphics driver.

Thanks for the helpful additional information. Because of the nature of the description of your problem (references to Premiere Pro which you do not have et al), I would encourage you to go directly to the following which I suggested previously by the following question.
5. Have you gone the route of Uninstall/ccleaner run through - regular and registry components of the cleaner), reinstall?
1. Uninstall Premiere Elements 8 via the usual Control Panel/Installed Program area route.
2. Download and install the free ccleaner and run the computer through its regular cleaner and registry cleaner parts.
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
Open the program to see something like
Click on "Run Cleaner" with the "Cleaner Tab" selected in the left column of the dialog. Click OK to the pop up to initiate the automatic process.
After the regular cleaner portion is done, then click on "Registry" in the left column of the dialog. It should look something like
Click on "Scan for Issues"
when done
Click on "Fix selected issues"
when pop up appears
Click Yes to "backup changes to the registry"
when done
Click "Fix selected issues" in the pop up that now appears
when done
Click Close.
Please read all the details in the ccleaner link before starting. If you need clarification on anything written before you begin, please do not hesitate to ask.
I use this procedure routine for computer maintenance without issues (Windows XP 32 bit as well as Windows 7, 8, and 8.1 64 bit). It is a widesly used tool.
We will be watching for further developments.
3. Reinstall Premiere Elements 8 with antivirus and firewalls off. After installation of 8, now do the download and installation of the 8.0.1 update from Adobe via the link
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
That 8.0.1 installation can be done with Premiere Elements 8 closed.
Adobe set up that 8.0.1 Update so that they is no 8.0.1 shown in the program after installation of it. You will probably get a message of installation completed successful. The major evidence that it has been installed will be the turn off of the previously default "Automatic Background Rendering" in preferences. You still have to turn off the "Automatic AutoAnalzyer" in Elements Organizer, a must do.
Please review the above.
Thank you.

Error exporting... Says I need to render but I already have!

When I go to export my project as an MPEG 2, red bars appear over the timeline as if I haven't rendered and I get a message telling me that I need to render before exporting. I have rendered the project so I have no idea what the problem is. It will let me export the project as a Qucktime movie.
Thanks for your help!

for export to MPEG2 you need to render everything ... even th ebits that fcp can playback in full res without rendering
go to you sequence render menu and make sure that even "Full" has a checkmark , then render again.
this time it should work

Cant get my pages docs that I created on my iPad (new version of pages) to open on my MAC. Reads: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document.". But I have the latest!

Help - I cant get the docs I created in pages on my ipad to open on my MAC. I've used iCloud, emailed to myself - all I get is "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document.". But my MAC has the newer version!

I have Pages for iOS 2.0.1 on my iPad and Pages '09 (4.3) on my Macbook Pro.
I haven't upgraded anything in the past few months. Still on OS 10.8.5.
Suddenly, something has changed.
If I open a new Pages doc on my iPad and later try to open it on my Mac, I get the error message saying I need a newer version of Pages.
Also, if I open an existing doc on the iPad (one that I've worked on repeatedly from both devices) I get the same message. A couple did open, but only if I hadn't touched them on the iPad. Anything opened today on the iPad won't open on the Mac.
I can open and edit these docs in the Pages beta at www.icloud.com but not on my Mac.
I don't want Mavericks and a new version of Pages now (I'm in the middle of a major project and have learned not to make major upgrades until major things are finished).
For now, the best I can do is open docs in iCloud, copy all, and paste into a new Word doc. Yes, back to Word. Thought I was finished with Microsoft.
Is there a better solution?

Do I need to render after finished editing in FCE?

I'm finishing my very first FCEHD3.5 project (the whole audio & video editing part). DO I HAVE TO RENDER ANYTHING befor recording to the camera, using the method that you described?
(I used some photos in my project and they look "funny" while played from the timeline and watched in the canvas; photos are funny in terms of flickering, moving pixels along edges of objects, etc. - would any rendering help with this?).
And, in general - what about the rendering? -(this is my 1st project, so I have no experience there)Do I need to render anything? Or should I just print to camera, and find a way to burn the project in iDVD..?
MacBook Pro 17 inch Mac OS X (10.4.7) 2GB RAM, 100GB7200HD, Super Drive, FCEHD3.5, PanasonicPVGS500, G-Raid ExtHD320GB

The easiest way to do this is, first make sure you don't have any clips at all selected in the timeline, then just do the Render All > Video and the Render Only > Mixdown. FCE will take care of things from there.
The length of time it takes to render the video depends on a whole lot of factors ranging from what kinds of effects/generators you used in your clips, how many there are, how long they are, whether or not any are already rendered, etc. plus all the hardware specs/capabilites of your Mac ... all of which makes it really hard to estimate how much time it will take.
Mixdown audio takes all your audio tracks and builds an 'audio render' file that contains 1 stereo pair resulting from all your audio tracks. It goes a lot faster than rendering video does ... and btw helps reduce/eliminate problems with dropped frames.
Your MacBookPro has great specs, you should find this goes pretty well, but I still really can't estimate your render time. Take a look at your timeline - over how much of it does the red 'needs rendering' indicator line show? That would give you some indication - at least short vs. long.
Good luck!

Do I need to Render every time I make a to the audio or video?

Today is the first time I have seriously considered using Final Cut Pro. This software was purchased for me (without my knowing) by the company I am working for to be used for simple editing and exporting. Recently I have been using iMovie and have been creating adequate videos, but figured it is time to upgrade to a "pro" software. That has been a big mistake.
It seems like every time I make a change to the subclip in the timeline I need to Render the movie; if not, additions like transitions, audio filters, or simple changes are unplayable. For instance, when I adjust an audio filter (hum remover, for example) and try to preview the movie in the canvas, all I see is video accompanied by an annoying beeping sounding. Once I render the movie, I can I finally hear the expected audio.
I am convinced I am doing something wrong, but I haven't noticed my mistakes in the help sections. Do I need to Render the audio/video every time I want to make a change and preview said change? Can someone point me in the right direction?

#28 Having to render every clip in the timeline
Shane's Stock Answer #28: When I put a clip in the timline, I have to render it before it will play. Why?
Your clip settings MUST match your timeline settings. If you have DV/NTSC material, you need a DV/NTSC timeline. The frame rate, audio rate and dimensions (4:3, 16:9) all need to match exactly. In Final Cut Pro 6, this is easy, because when you drop a clip into the timeline, it asks if you want to set up the timeline to match the settings of the first clip you drag into it. Click YES and you are ready to go.
However, in FCP 5.1 and earlier, it is a bit trickier.
The most important thing you need to do is properly set up your project from the start, and the best way to do this is to choose a setting from the Easy Setups, located under the Final Cut Pro menu.
Once you do this, you’ll need to create a new sequence. This is because the sequence that is already in your new project is setup for the typical default setting of DV/NTSC, or for the settings of your last project, which might not match what you are currently working with. So delete SEQUENCE 1 and create a new sequence:
This new sequence will contain the settings you chose in the Easy Setup menu, and should match the format you captured.

Hi
Have no real hope for the old DVD project but would in Your situation start by
• Trashing iDVD pref file
and hope that it will help
Else
I would start iDVD - but keep alt-key down during up-start - Then Select to do a Brand New iDVD Project.
The old project might got corrupted - and if so it's lost as far as I understands it
AND !
• FREE SPACE ON Start-Up (Mac OS) Hard Disk - HOW MUCH is there ?
I never go less than 25GB - when using interlaced SD-Video material
I guess that 4-5 times more will be safe if HD-material is used
Free space on other external hard disks - OF NO interest at all - the space must be on Boot one.
Yours Bengt W
