Please fix exporting for CS5!...

I know this isn't the feature request area - I've already sent adobe my letter.
But 100 requests are better than one!
I'm sure we're all experiencing this major problem - that it takes *forever* to export anything, and longer than that when exporting from large projects. Even if you only want to export a 2 minute scene from a 30 minute feature, if your project is large (i.e. anything over 5 minutes long, god forbid multiple sequences) then you can and usually do end up waiting between 30 minutes and and hour(!!) while AME is 'loading' your project. This is a ridiculous waste of time and resources, since more often than not the project you're exporting from is already open and in system memory. And you're not inclined to continue working for fear it would slow AME even further. This double up process - while I see it's point - makes Premiere Pro completely useless in any high pressure situation, where you need to churn out a piece of video as soon as someone asks for it. I've lost clients and damaged working relationships purely because I chose to use Premiere, and have now invested so many thousands of $$$ in Adobe that other software is not something I'd like to face, especially when Premiere is SOOO close to being good.
Is anyone else completely and UTTERLY fed up with this exporting debacle? If so, please let Adobe know before they release CS5, which according to the internet will probably be in a couple of months...still time to fix this!
AND... another thing... the autosave window - that really should be a *background* operation, no?? It's painfully frustrating when you're watching an edit with a client, and ten minutes in the autosave window comes up and STOPS the playback. This ruins the moment and can COMPLETELY RUIN the scene on first viewing for an audience or client. Yes, one could go to the trouble to enter prefs and turn AS off just for that moment, but I don't do that fro fear of not remembering to turn it on and be faced with a lovely apologetic message saying for some unknown reason the software must terminate immediately... you know the ones...
Please feel free to report here other sticky issues wih premiere that prevent smooth workflow efficiency (and then send request to adobe). I'm sure Adobe would love to hear it!

Gents,
Let me give some of my results, to show that all this is highly dependent on system configuration, but keep in mind that this is with 10 tabs in Mozilla open and having several processes in the background like Skype, Perfect Speed, SnagIt, etc.
How many clips imported in the project? 300+
Average  length/size of the these clips? Between 3 s and 2:12, average around 6 s
Number of sequences in the  project? 1
Length of the sequences? 37:00
Format of the source  clips (HD, DV, HDV etc)? HDV
Destination/export format? MPEG2-DVD CBR @ 8Mbps and AC3 5.1 @ 448 Kbps
Exporting  the whole sequence or just a small portion? Whole sequence
How big is your  project file size (in MB)? 5.5
Some system specs (cpu, video, ram,  hdd, OS)? See PPBM4
Project loading time: around 17 secs.
Wait for AME after pressing Start queue to start: less than 10 secs.
Encoding time: less than 12 minutes.
Notes: No color correction, several WAV files and a number of BMP's and titles, dissolves and dip-to-black transitions.
Around the same time when exporting to MPEG-I @ 120 Mbps and AC3 5.1 @ 448 Kbps CBR at Maximum Render Quality.
Use these figures only as indicativve, for valuable comparisons, use the PPBM benchmark that Glenn pointed you to.
Thanks for your info Harm. I'm totally envious of your machine! I'm sure I'd experience better times with a better CPU and MB. I would love to know if we can reduce your system to it's knees, so to speak, in the way some of us experience. I would wager (were I a bettin man) that if you captured clips in large blocks (many large clips, doco style, perhaps around the 10-20 minute mark, even perhaps a whole HDV tape, since Adobe has seen fit *not* to include Scene Detection for HDV), and had a similar overall number of clips, and duplicated your single sequence 6 or 7 times, for starters, to get your project file up around the 40MB area, your 'loading' time in AME would slow down, I wonder how much by though!
So if you've got a lot of time to spare...
(Yes, some of the practices that result in a project described above are less than desirable, but in reality time and pressure cause you to really push the software like that...)

  • Help please with exporting for print

    Hi All,
    Hopefully someone here can help. I have the opportunity to get some 24x30 inch lustre prints printed out for free but the printer has some specific file requirements which I am not 100% sure how to meet.
    Here they are:
    1. Colour space : Adobe RGB(1998)
    2. File size must be 24x30"
    3. Resolution : 300ppi
    4. File : Level 12 (or lower) Photoshop JPEG
    Questions:
    1. I have calibrated my monitor with a ColorVision Spyder so I use that profile on my MBP monitor. I then usually export from Aperture using colorsync profile sRGB IEC61966-2.1. To meet the requirement above do I just need to change the colorsync profile on export to Adobe RGB(1998) or should I be doing something while editing?
    2. I use a Nikon D70 so my files are 3024 x 1998, how do this translate to inches? Do I need to up size the files and if so how do I do this in Aperture?
    3. I take it all I have to do here is change the DPI setting on export to 300 (is DPI the same as PPI?)
    4. I think this just means the image quality will be set to 12 on export.
    Sorry for all the questions but getting prints done at a lab is something new to me and I would like to try and get the best results.
    Thanks in advance,
    Andrew

    Hi Ian,
    Thanks heaps for your quick reply. In regards to your answer for the 2nd question:
    "2. You definitely need to upsize the files, 24x30" at 300ppi is 7200x9000px. You can use the 'fit within' option and give a size in inches and it will upsize as needed on export. Note that 24x30 is a drastically different aspect ratio than your 3:2 dSLR shots, so you may also want to crop the images to the 5:4 aspect."
    Can you please advise what size, in pixels, I would need to crop to plus will this make the image less sharp, therefore I should sharpen more? Sorry I have never up sized and printed an image before so not sure if there is a correct way of doing it (I think I read somewhere you should up size in increments of 10% or something?)
    Cheers.

  • Please fix Lightroom for Sony A700

    The splotchy color noise of the Sony A700 processed in Lightroom (or ACR) needs to be fixed. It has come to the point where nearly any A700 user that participates on a photo forum knows that Lightroom is not a good Raw converter for the A700 at ISO 1600 or higher. Maybe I'm overstating? Is there anyone here that doesn't agree with this sentiment?

  • Will Adobe be applying their Premiere CS6 Sync fix for MP4 and WMV exports to CS5?

    I noticed that Adobe FINALLY fixed the sync issue for WMV and H.264 MP4 exports in their latest CS6 release.  This is very much overdue. Given that all of us who paid good money for CS5 have had to live with this issue for more than a year, will Adobe be applying the same fix for us?

    I also never have had any synch issues with WMV and H.264 MP4 exports (or anything else) in any of the CS versions.
    I also have never noticed any posts regarding this as an issue either ...so not sure who  ..

  • Exporting For YouTube - Premiere Pro CS5 (Canon XL2)

    I shot a promo video with my Canon XL2, and would like to upload the finished product to YouTube at the highest possible quality in order to help promote the company I work for.
    Footage shot in 30p at 29.97 fps, 16:9 - NTSC.
    Sequence settings are all correct and match my footage perfectly.
    I have exported the video as H.264, AVI, MOV, MP4, MP2, WMV and countless other formats. When played on my computer the video quality is SUPERB. I am ecstatic at how it turned out, HOWEVER, when I upload the video -in any format- to YouTube, it looks absolutely horrible - as though it were shot with a webcam.
    Does anyone have any advice as to what I might be doing wrong? Anyone had any experience with the XL-2 and Premiere Pro videos being ugly when uploaded to YouTube?
    Thanks a bunch!

    Be very careful when using Adobe's presents for YouTube, Vimeo, etc.  They have a fixed frame rate but it doesn't always match your source frame rate and this adds additional render time and can drop or add (adding is much worse) frames.
    The worst offender is a preset that is for non drop-frame 30.0 fps (instead of drop frame 29.97) because every 3 seconds 3 frames get added.
    Also be aware that when exporting for the web (or most anything other than to DVD), you want to use square pixels.
    This might require a bit of tweaking with the presets but it is well worth the effort.
    864x480 is the square pixel equivalent to 720x480 widescreen (1.21...).
    For more indepth info on the presets (and my rants on the matter) - have a look at my CS5 and C5.5 articles.

    is the big deal.. every couple of hours its the same thing internet
    explorer always crashes because of flash9.ocx or whatever the damn
    file name is.. and generally just after I wrote a 10 paragraph
    email or something.. I mean.. this thing stinks. I have to use the
    damn thing because everything on the damn internet requires it...
    so Im stuck.. but its junk and continuously crashes the browser..
    the most aggrevating part of VISTA by far is YOUR product.. please
    FIX IT..
    thank you.

    "Microsoft® Windows® XP with Service Pack 2 or
    Windows Vista™ Home Premium, Business, Ultimate, or

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit#Software_availability
    "64-bit systems sometimes lack equivalents to software that
    is written for 32-bit architectures. The most severe problem is
    incompatible device drivers. Although most software can run in a
    32-bit compatibility mode (also known as an emulation mode, e.g.
    Microsoft WoW64 Technology), it is usually impossible to run a
    driver (or similar software) in that mode since such a program
    usually runs in between the OS and the hardware, where direct
    emulation cannot be employed. "
    Now since i have A 32 bit system myself, i am not very
    involved in this matter, but it looks from the above that you can
    look into an emulation mode, if it really is that much of an issue.

  • Is there a script for CS5 to export a multi-page InDesign Document to single page InDesign documents

    Hello,
    I am having trouble finding a script or utility that would allow me to export each page of an InDesign CS5 document as multiple single page InDesign documents. I have found one script that does this for CS3, but nothing for CS5. Thank you for any help.

    Generally speaking, if a script doesn't run in a later version, you can put it in a subfolder withteh correct version number as the name and it will work. For CS3 that would be "Version 5.0 Scripts" without the quotes.
    That said, if you have Acrobat pro, it's probably easier to use the extract pages command...
