Optimizing Exporting or Rendering Speed

Bought Mac Pro to get the most speed from FCE4. Speed of exports and rendering is better, but not as good as hoped. I am getting mixed information from Apple "experts" about how FCE4 uses the power of the Mac Pro (Quad Core) and some say that FCP uses the computing power better and therefore runs exporting and rendering faster.
I am looking for some clarity around this. I am happy with the functionality of FCE4 for what I need to do. But I need more speed. Do I move up to FCP or will that not help much? Do I wait for FCE5? Thanks for any guidance you can offer.

Some tips ...
_The machine_ ... rendering/exporting performance is dependent on CPU, RAM and hard disk i/o. FCE can use up to 4GB RAM, so more RAM won't do any good. Once your system HD and/or your render files HD get more than about 50% full, that will increasingly slow down performance; laws of physics are at play.
Software ... don't run anything other than FCE when you are rendering or exporting
Workflow ...
Make sure your source clips are DV, HDV or AVCHD. Specifically, QuickTime DV or QuickTime Apple Intermdiate Codec (HDV and AVCHD are transcoded to AIC during capture/ingest).
Make sure your clip properties match your sequence settings.
Before exporting, do both of the following:
*Sequence > Render All > Both* and
*Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown*
If you are exporting to burn a DVD, then you only need to export a QT reference movie - export to QuickTime Movie and UNcheck the option called 'Make Movie Self-Contained'.

I am trying to get better playback rendering speed Premiere CS6

I am new to Adobe Premiere CS6. I am trying to get faster playback rendering speed from my machine.
Windows 7
i7 4790K Haswell overclocked to 4.5 (watercooled with Corsair)

I am primarily editing GoPro videos with effects like TimeWarp or Twixtor and color correction.
I have tried to run the PPBM6 program with no success. I kept getting failure to access files.
I have been looking at adding a second GTX760 with SLI so they will work together. And possible removing the Quadro if it is slowing things down.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

...are you SURE your 760 GPU is "enabled" by PPro, and giving you the option of "Mercury Playback Acceleration" under "General Preferences" ??? If the "Mercury Acceleration" is GREYED OUT and limits you to "software Only", go to Studio 1 website and learn to apply the well known "hack" to enable your 760 in PPro,OR, download their simple program to do it for you.
...Your machine is POWERFUL....especially with your CPU overclock......you MAY want to increase your memory to 32 GB if you are using After Effects....even PPro MAY run better with 32 GB, depending on your workflow.....most systems like yours have at LEAST 32GB system memory.
.....The GoPro codec is natively HIGHLY COMPRESSED and difficult to process, even for beefy machines. That is why they provide the free Cineform tool,( which used to be an expensive professional editing codec), to convert some,or,all of your footage to a more "edit friendly" AVI codec, which will FLY on your machine. HOWEVER, those new AVI files are HUGE.....TRIPLE the original size and requiring a LARGE and FAST disk transfer system. Right now, your single 7200 drive for your media is your SLOWEST component in the chain. The CHEAPEST improvement for you would be to add another MATCHING 2TB 7,200 rpm drive to your existing one and then use the 2 drives to create a fast RAID 0 directly off the mother board to improve the speed of your "media drive". THEN, you MUST insure that this RAID 0 is DILIGENTLY BACKED UP in case of a drive failure in the RAID. This ALSO means you must protect against an unexpected power failure which could destroy the RAID data if the failure happened during a critical write operation.....so,a good UPS is required.
You can OBSERVE how the various components in your system are performing while performing strenuous tasks by bringing up the "task manager" window and watching the CPU load.... if all cores are PEGGED at near 100%, you are "CPU bound". As you are ALREADY overclocked, you can't do anything other than to TRANSCODE your footage to the free Cineform. Your ENABLED GPU can be observed....real time....using the free MSI Afterburner,( or, similar). Certain operations are accelerated by the GPU with PPro....not ALL!! Scaling and some effects will use use the "Mercury Acceleration" while rendering previews AND during export.In some cases, rendering previews,or, exporting can be sped up by TEN TIMES by Mercury Acceleration. Watch the "GPU Usage" on Afterburner to see if the GPU is indeed being used, and if you are "saturating" it to its capacity of 100% with accelerated effects.
Make sure your Windows is fully updated to the current time........make sure your NVidia 760 has the most recent driver and DON'T use the Quadro for now. Set your "Windows page file" to be STATIC on your "C" drive at 24GB. Disable "Hibernation" Set all drives NOT to allow "indexing". Do NOT allow any spinning HDD to be over 50% filled....performance WILL decrease.....make sure any HDD is defragged,( do NOT defrag an SSD ! ). Stop all unnecessary processes, esp. anti-virus programs, while editing. Find out how to best "tune" windows to speed it up at the PPBM 6 and 7 websites.
BE AWARE that the "run of the mill" SSDs use cheaper Sandforce controllers, and are less suited to handle highly compressed digital video files. Samsung PRO models and recent Crucial M550 series SSDs ONLY are recommended for video use. Both these non-Sandforce SSDs maintain high WRITE speeds,( over 400MB/sec), AND maintain their high speeds after reaching their "steady state" condition. Cheaper EVO series and non-Marvell controlled SSDs MAY lose their fast write speeds over time and SLOW YOU WAY DOWN !!! Test your current SSDs by transferring large video files between them and watching MB per second that appears under "details" in the pop up window during transfer. Make sure none are slow.....test them with HD Tune Pro as well.
Certain non-Adobe plug-ins and certain effects may NOT use all the CPU threads well,or, may not use the GPU.....forcing the CPU to do additional work. You will have to identify problem plug-ins,or, effects by switching them on and off to see if any cripple your system.
Your machine is POWERFUL.....go to PPBM7 website and read the "tweakers" page to learn more....then, register for free and TEST your machine with their video benchmark test for PPro. It should do WELL.....AND it will help identify if you have any "bottlenecks" which are impairing your system.
Good Luck !!!!!.....THEN, start using CC 2014.....like Patton said : "...all glory is FLEETING !!"......so is the lifespan of former PPro versions !!!!!!

When exporting, PP renders audio that wont be in the export.

Hello folks.
For my project I basically have a giant, like 10h long timeline filled with audio, that as time goes by becomes shorter and shorter.
With that (and some video footage I add to it) I have export-videos of several minutes of length.
The thing that disturbs me is that when I start exporting, PP renders all of the audio from the timeline, even if its not going to be in the export.
More visually:
Say I load 5min of music and 5min of video into PP and then I export it, it needs e.g. 5min
Say I then load 10h of music and 10h of video into PP and just select the first 5minutes of that huge thing to export, it needs 10h instead of 5min.
How to deactivate that? I know its useful to pre-render the audio like that if I was to work with all of the music during one PP session.
Bbut in my case just little amounts of video footage goes into PP per day, so it is just disturbing to render all that audio again and again...

That's a little strange. What you might try is to make sure that the sample rate of your clips match the sample rate of your sequence settings. I hope that helps you.

Rendering speed is slowing down during process, almost up to freeze

Hello there!
First of all, I'm a new person to After Effects. I bet I just doing something wrong, but anyway I would like to ask an advice how to fix my issue because googling such subject won't solve it.
The point is following:
I rendering 120-minutes long video for YouTube. It almost static with no effects, just with a few simple fade-in/out transitions on couple of layers. You can find an example of such video on YouTube by this link: Daniel Lesden - Rave Podcast 056: guest mix NitroDrop (Israel) - YouTube (for some reason, specifically this video was rendered successfully previously).
Process is going very well at first, 1 minute of playback rendering for about 30 seconds, so first hour of the video rendering for 30 minutes.
The problem starts at about 70% of overall progress: it start to slowing down, and then goes to 1 frame rendering for 1 second. As you can imagine, it's a pain for such long videos, it will take a days to finish last 20-30%.
Composition and render settings are following:
Size: 1280 x 720 px
FPS: 30
Format: Quicktime
Codec: ProRes 422. I've also tried: Animation, Photo JPEG, another ProRes and even H.264, but outcome was the same.
Output module settings screenshot:
Multi-processing settings:
On this point I have to say that I've tried many different options with amount of CPU, RAM or with Multi-processing option turned off completely, but in the end it all was the same.
After Effects version: CC 2014 (still on trial version, but it shouldn't be a problem since Adobe don't have any limitations for trial versions as far as I know).
Computer and OS information:
Any advices please? I'll very appreciate every possible solutions.

"open AE preferences>General then move to the bottom tab and set AE to purge every 10 frames or so"
— I've set this parameter to 10 as suggested, and here are the last render queue results:
First 60-minutes video rendered superb good for 1 hour 17 minutes.
Second 120-minutes video goes really badly: it took 8 hours to render about quarter due to error. Here is what I found in the error log: "There is an error in background rendering so switching to foreground rendering after 246 frames completed out of total 216000 frames. (26 :: 142)".
Later I've tried to render second video again, and it was great almost till finish: 1 hour 45 minutes has been rendered for less than an hour. But then it suddenly slowed down (as described in the original post), so I had to stop it. I installed Memory Dig and "optimized" memory before rendering and once during process, but it didn't help. In the end I just rendered last 15 minutes of the video (with no issues) and just merged it into 120-minutes long file using Video Joiner. Pretty sad method, although.
On a third attempt everything was fine until rendering stops by a new error in popup window: "After Effects error: internal verification failure, sorry! {could not find itemframe we just now checked in}".
So the original problem still wasn't solved yet unfortunately.

Premier freezes on export after rendering audio files

I'm having issues exporting projects out of premier today.
System specs:
6 core mac pro trashcan
D500s
32gb ram
500gb ssd
All media is on a lacie thunderbolt raid0 drive
Currently working on the simplest timeline you can imagine. One pro res proxy clip on a pro res proxy timeline exporting with matched sequence settings. No effects or plug ins.
When I export it renders the audio files and then stops at 0.01%. When I hit cancel premier crashes
I've also tried rendering in the timeline and the same thing happens. I've tried a few different projects with different media and the same thing happens.
Talked to support on chat. The guy trashed my preferences and deleted/moved all my plug ins (thanks - didn't let me know he was doing that). In the end I had a deadline to meet so cancelled the chat, unplugged my drive, plugged it into my macbook pro and was able to export as normal from there. Wanted to go back on chat now but its unavailable.
My mac pro has been exporting all week just fine. The only thing I've done in the last few days is install Osiris LUTS. I was still able to export another project after that as well. Right now I'm guessing that I'll need to do a full re-install of adobe CC, but having to do this in the middle of projects isn't really acceptable. Perhaps there's another solution?
Oh and by the way I'm on CC2014 v8.1. I haven't run the latest updates yet. As I said - in the middle of several projects and up until today everything was running great (apart from a couple of crashes a week)
Thanks for any help!

Found the issue. Was just about to re-install everything when I noticed some quicktime files on my desktop not displaying as normal. Tried to play them and sure enough wouldn't open (quicktime wanted to convert them). So I downloaded the latest apple pro apps and now I'm all good exporting.
I remembered last night I downloaded some youtube ripper software. I'm guessing that messed with my codecs somewhere down the line.

FCP rendering speed

Hi.
I have used to do some stuff in Motion to 1024x576 (square pix pal) and take it to FCP to uncompressed anamorphic PAL sequence.
With my old mac (powerPC) and with old FCP it rendered quite fast (in this case about 10 minutes) but now with new FCP (studio2) and dual quad-core intel the same thing takes about 50 minutes to render with same settings. How can this be true? What is this new FCP doing differently?
In motion I have resolution full, render quality normal and motion blur on. I think it is this motion blur that takes so much time but why didn't it take before?
Thanks..

Now I found that in Sequence Settings there was quality control for Motion Projects. Changing it to Normal reduced rendering speed dramatically but it didn't give me motion blur anymore. :/

Will system ssd increase fcp 6 rendering speed?

I have a mac pro 3.1, 8 core, 10G ram, running leopard 10.5.8 on a mechanical hd. Would replacing it with a good SSD increase rendering speed in FCP 6 to any significant degree ?

To the extent that the OS and app code will be available more quickly, yes rendering will speed up. What's important to remember is that FCP rendering is not solely dependent on disk I/O (or core count for that matter) when it renders. I'm going to try the same thing but I'm looking for inches, not yards.
If you decide on giving it a go, I'm say consider an upgrade to Snow Leopard (10.6.8) at the same time since it's a code shrink release and will give you a little speed as well. I'm planning on a 256GB SSD since I want my Library on SSD too so the Application Support folder is fast as well (and it's large) as well as OS, Apps, and a lot of free space.
Another place I'm looking at SSD for is a Compressor buffer since it is my opinion that Compressor is often disc-bound and will may speed up with a faster target disc. It sure did back in the G4 days.
Hope this helps

What Machine to buy so it can do the above things?I can afford around 2700$ / 2000 Euros
2000 Euros won't buy you a Mac Pro, although you could buy a 27" iMac.
You can buy a pretty decent Windows machine for that price. There are so many variables it's impossible to give you specifics, but here's a basic guide:
Buy the best CPU you can afford. Faster CPUs give you better overall performance. Multiple CPU cores make rendering and previewing faster.
You need 2GB of RAM for each CPU core, and a bit extra. So, if you buy a dual Quad core machine, giving you 8 cores, you would be wise to have 16-24GB of RAM. If you buy a single Quad core machine, with 4 cores, you need 8-16GB of RAM.
You need lots of fast hard drive space to work with HD video, so buy as much as you can afford. Avoid "green" drives and other 5400RPM drives, which can slow down your workflow. If you can afford it, buy two drives - one for your system files, and one for media storage.
The display card is not so important in After Effects - any midrange card will do the job nicely - but because you want to play "new games", you may want a display card with a bit more power.

Why cant i export after rendering in cs4

why cant i export after rendering in CS4

Dude, I'm messing with ya.
Truth is, there's just no way anyone can help with so little information. Your questions is akin to someone going to the doctor and asking "Why can't I pee?" There could be sooooo many reasons for such a symptom. Without a LOT more information, neither the doctor nor us Premiere users will be any good at providing answers.

Optimizing After Effects Performance/ Rendering Speed for large projects

Problem:
My after effects is extremely slow and i want to use an external harddrive to increase the speed temporarily until i can afford to change the internal hard drive. i also have other video production software like Cinema 4D, Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro, Cheetah 3D, etc.
Macbook pro with the following specs:
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB (Available space approx 91.GB)
Software OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
Action:
i have set my Disk Cache to use the 500GB Gtech firewire external hardrive in After Effects Preferences
Issue: After effects still slow
Recommendation From expert: Change Internal Hard Drive to 512 GB SSD HARD DRIVE
Question: How can i optimize After effects with the current hard drive space i have right now?

Thank you. As i stated earlier i am new to after effects and video editing in general so this is a learning process for me. i have also realized that i have soo much going in the layer that i need to clean up and prerender as you said. Also one of the biggest mistake i am making is with the "composed individual lyric effect" i created. As i said earlier, i masked the lyrics to audio spectrum and choose the mp3 song in other to make the effect active, but since i am working on the lyric composition individually i did not crop the yellow bar in the workframe to the exact part of the lyric that applies to the song. hence leaving me with 100+ of words with each having the full length of the song in each individual composition i created in the master layer, in addition to the spin fx effect that i have not prerendered. After effects is trying to render alll these together basically. The extremely slow rendering procesing time arose when i combined all individual lyric effect into the layer while also implementing typography tricks like in the same layer.
Basically, my question is should i reduce the frame work in each lyric composition to the exact section of the song that applies, and will this improve the overall rendering time in the master layer and solve my problem?
Also should i peform my typography skill like position, scaling rotation and so on in the individual layer/composition of the lyric effect i made in order to further save rendering time in the master layer?

Optimizing rendering speed in dynamic form (subforms)

Hi
I have a form with 4 pages. Each page has 2-4 subforms. I am looking for info on how you can optimize the speed of showing/hiding subforms.
In my form the user clicks a checkbox and I show a hidden subform. The Subform takes 3-5 secs. to show - that is too much considering reader is running the form locally.
My page1 has a layout with a lot of static text, fields and linies etc. If I delete this section the speed improves to about 1 sec. I know how to merge static texts but often it makes it unflexible to edit them later.
Any great ideas on how to make dynamic layout i big forms (with lots of contents) AND still be able to show/hide subforms at a acceptable speed??
** I hope Adobe will improve the preformance in comming versions cause dynamic forms serve no improvement in user interaction when so slow!

This happens when you use a global binding and set the parent container to repeat for each data item.

Premiere exports and rendering too slow

I’m using Premier Pro CC on a 2012 MacPro (aluminum box) with 16gigs or RAM.
I have to say that being a long time Avid Media Composer editor I am very, very pleased with the UI and overall capability of Premiere. It’s loaded with tiny nuances that Avid should have incorporated a long time ago. I am in love with this software.
Or at least I was until I went to export my files. What a slog! I’m sorry but the exports are out to lunch. A six minute 1080p 23.976fps sequence with a few titles, a basic colour effect and two tracks of audio takes…. 3 hours?!?!?? What the heck? If I was rendering an equivalent sequence in the Avid I’d be done rendering any effects and exporting a source QT by the time I finished this sentence. And if I set that QT up to encode in Sorenson I’d have my MP4 done by the end of this email. And the Avid doesn’t need to use any external hardware to ramp things up. In addition, just typing this email while Media Encoder pushes through the output (even with Premiere closed) is causing my whole system to slow down to a point that I find my computer basically unusable for anything else. 16 gigs of RAM and 2x six core processors and it’s acting like it’s 1996 running OS7.
Now wait, I hear you say, you can do so much more in Premiere. Yes, I can. But the moment I drop, for example, an After Effect link in there…I can feel the system trying to race glaciers - and losing. What I don’t get is if I were to use the the equivalent clips in After Effects doing the equivalent type of effects the render would be way faster than Premiere --- and it’s the same company! And don’t get me started on Speedgrade. I’m better off doing an oil painting of each frame than using that Dynamic Link function. And teh dynamic links are what encouraged me to try all this in the first place.
Pre-rendering everything is not only awkward but appears to have no effect on the export time - or playback for that matter. In fact I find the rendering of effects rather confusing and horribly inaccurate - both in its estimate of time to go and the number of frames to process. And what is a 'video preview’ anyway -is that the number of clips? Effects? Effects and clips? Grains of sand on a beach? And why does it’s number keep going up too? It just keeps climbing for no reason I can see. C’mon Premiere…it’s basic math- you count how many frames and then that’s the total number of frames. Why are you recalculating? And did you borrow your time estimate code from Windows 98’s progress bar? One thing it does tell you accurately is how much time you’ve been waiting. That’s handy (not). Oh and I sooooo love the fact that if I quit the rendering process it keeps NOTHING from what it did before. So i have two choices: quit this seemingly endless render to try something else only to find it didn’t help ... or stay put and watch my life drip away into nothingness. Right now, on a second sequence, it says "ETA - 13 seconds left" for, like the LAST 2 hours.
I can’t help but think Premiere is too caught up on render-free editing and it’s glorious Mercury Engine when they should be making it faster & easier to render effects for smoother playback and much faster exports. In my Media Composer I may not have as much robust real time function as I would like but it doesn't choke on the basics (title, colour crrection, dissolves) and the renders are so fast I don't care that I even have to render.
Maybe I’m doing something wrong but I’ll be damned if I know what. And no one else is talking. As I skip around the Google-sphere I’m amazed how many people are posing about speed issues (very common Google search result) and so many other editors are retorting “seems pretty normal to me”. No it ain’t. This is NOT normal. This is painfully slow and in no way reflects the current state of speed for import & exports in NLEs.
I’ve watched every tutorial I could find, picked over every preference, closed every other application, tried different media types, purged every bit of cache and even restarted with no discernible difference. At this stage I’d be thrilled to find out if I’m doing something wrong. But until then I’m afraid this software will not be a regular part of my tool set. This is very disappointing from Premiere given how everything else seems to work so well. Such a shame. This software could kick some serious butt otherwise.
Maybe Premiere will announce that they have a new render engine at NAB?…crossing fingers? Don’t think so.
><({(º>

Thanks for the reply SAFEHARBOR11.
I agree, something isn't right. I've watched tutorials where the renders appear to happen in a "reasonable" amount of time and the numbers of frames and videos prviews never increases. So I don't know what is going on with me.
While I have researched into render/don't render workflow with Premiere I can say I tried both ways only out of desperation.
For my system, a MacPro from 2012, we got only one choice for a video card from Apple - ATI Radeon HD 5870. I tried to get a CUDA enabled card (3rd party) installed but despite tremendous research I could not find something that was authorized to work on my system. At the time I wanted the CUDA to accelerate by Sorenson encoding.
One 2011 post suggested that my issue was related to corrupt media. They had suggested that I try and isolate the timeline down by testing one section at a time with exports until the exports went from fast to excruciatingly slow. As I was working on multiple sequences without common media between them I had reasoned that the software may not have liked my Sony F5 native media (although it plays it just fine). So I took the time to transcode all my footage and use that instead— with absolutely no difference. Even if it did make a difference I’d be disappointed because working natively with my media in Premiere was a huge time saver, unlike the Avid which claims to work with native media but really it leaves the system and editing sow & unresponsive so I usually end up transcoding anyway.
My media encoder settings were the template h264 as a Youtube 720p, 23.976 file. Nothing remarkable there. (Although I did try other settings to see if that affected anything - it didn’t).

Export progress bar speeds to 50% then slows way down

While I'm here browsing for answers to another question I just asked, thought I would ask another one about a project I worked on at home...
Home computer specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64
AMD Phenom II 6-core 3.2ghz processor (overclocked to 4ghz)
16gb 1600mhz RAM
Nvidia GTS 450
Plenty of hard drive space, all 7200rpm internal
So my problem is with exporting... I was working with a 30 minute wmv file...and really all I did as far as editing goes...was cut off about 5 minutes from the beginning. That's it. No graphics, no effects...nothin.
So I proceed to export it as a wmv, I used stock settings because I honestly didn't care about the quality, I just wanted it done fast. Estimated file size was less than 100mb I think... The export process began
and speedily finished 50% of it in about 10 seconds and then slows to a crawl, where the time remaining was now going up 1 second at a time instead of down. By how slow it was going, it was probably going to
take about a half hour, which is bs for exporting to a crappy file type with low quality settings. My work comp has lower specs than this computer, and it exports 30 minutes of my avchd footage in the same amount
of time...
This seems like Premiere has an issue with certain file types here.
Any help?

yah i was thinking the same thing, the 2 pass is what is causing your timing dilemma, 50% was just the first pass analysis. The rest is the real rendering process.
Being crappy video with a crappy codec has nothing to do with speed, if anything it is going to make it slower. You didn't say how long it actually took to render out your video? With WMV i am guessing it is not multithreaded well and not using all 6 of your cores. try turning off maximum quality on your encoder and check your wmv settings, it is just a container and gives you lots of codec choices. it certainly is not the fastest thing out there but it appears you are being forced to use it anyways?

Export Problems with Speed/Duration

Hi guys,
I'm pretty new to working with video and i'm learning Premiere CS5 at the moment.
I've imported my video, rendered scenes from Cinema4d and composited in After Effects.
I exported at PAL DV 720x576 25fps.
Anyhow, i've brought it into Premiere and added a soundtrack and have been playing around with cuts and
changing the speed and duration of some parts and reversing other sections.
I've exported it using the Mov - PAL DV Widescreen option and all was fine until about the 6th or 7th
export test. Now all of a sudden the parts of the movie that have speed changes or time changes are
coloured blue? They look like they're negative for some reason?
I've done some tests exporting directly as H.264 and things seem ok.
I've even created a new sequence using the same video and did a reverse and time change on it
and it exports fine.
I can't understand what the problem is. The preview is fine but now even the .Mov icon is blue! lol
Any advice please guys?

FCP export of rendered seq: some 'offline media' warnings in exported file

Hi,
We had an issue last weekend with a file that was exported from FCP:
- sequence was fully rendered in FCP
- export Quicktime movie (not a QTref)
- the exported file had an almost 1minute red 'media offline' warning in the middle of the file
- when we checked the sequence again at that sport, all the media was still there and all was fully rendered
- we did another export and all was fine ...
Anyone that had has this issue ?

Not particularly, but have you tried trashing all renders, then re-rendering?
It's possible the sequence was seeing a render file (but not connecting to it on export), when in actuality the clip/media is in fact off-line.
Give it a shot if you haven't and let us know.
Might also fill us in on details about your system and media you're working with.
