Pre-render previews ?

Is there a way i can set all the videos in my library to pre-render at a lower quality. I use a 2009 mac book pro and it really struggles to play the 1080p 60fps on the fly. But when i render the previews it works fine. Is there a way to have them all rendered and stored so i can use them for viewing instead of using the orginal feed ?
Thankyou for the help!

Press Enter instead of the Space Bar and the bar above your timeline will turn green after the render.

  • Pre-render (preview) acts crazy and crashes Premiere - QT Bug?

    I have a MacBook Pro 17", 2GB RAM, 2.4 GhZ dual core
    Looks like some sort of QT Bug:
    I have set my sequence preview settings to render with QT Animation codec. When I preview the sequence, it gets stuck at a specific location on a timeline when it reaches a still image. Then I try to cancel the render, but instead it crashes Premiere. Funny thing, that putting the image at some other location on timeline renders perfect. I have tried everything - I've changed the image to another one - same thing. I've deleted all the preview files - nothing changed. Then I've tried to change the codec in the Sequence Preview Settings and I found out, that when it's on DV-PAL, or I-Frame Only, it renders just fine!!! So I suppose that it's some sort of a bug that is in QT native codec probably... (it only happens to a still image on a specific location on timeline)

    As a test, try nesting the problem sequence in a new empty sequence then export that new sequence using QuickTime. Let us know whether or not that succeeds.
    Cheers

  • AE replaced footage doesn't pre-render properly

    Currently I'm working on a project that has various visual effects which I've composited in After Effects. I've done this, after editing the project in Premiere CS5.5, by selecting "Replace footage with After Effects composition" in the context-menu of the selected clip.
    Now I've completed the effects in AE and by the power of the amazing Dynamic-Link I can see the effects in Premiere! But there's a slight problem, the parts of footage that were edited in AE have a yellow bar above them, unless an other clip overlaps with it (in that case it's green).
    So my question is: How do I pre-render these clips properly so I can preview them in real-time?

    The yellow bar is normal. See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/773101
    No need to render a yellow bar, that plays in real time.

  • Using smart previews on iMac to control two sets of identical original files on two external drives --- render previews setting when using smart previews

    I’m just getting started with Lightroom and if someone can help me I’ll be very appreciative.
    I’m using an iMac with a 1TB drive and two external 2.5 TB drives for backup.  My active files are on all three drives and I’m running out of room on the iMac drive.
    With the smart previews capability of Lightroom 5, I’m hoping to remove all the active files from the iMac drive.  I hope to import existing images into the LR catalog from two identical drives with identical folders and have both sets of images reflect the changes I make using smart previews on my iMac.
    I just created two identical test folders of junk images on the external drives and was following a beginners tutorial on importing. However, I see nothing about using smart previews on my iMac that, when connected, will update more than one external drive at the same time.
    I’m also wondering if, when using smart previews, it matters how I set the render previews during the import process.
    Many thanks for any help,
    Karl Hentz

    I don't see any way to use smart previews to update both external drives at the same time. The smart previews are linked to a specific set of images. But it seems to me that if both drives are in fact identical, once the catalog is updated when one of those drives is connected those changes should also apply to the files on the other drive. It's actually the catalog that gets updated, not the images.  Smart previews and regular import previews are completely unrelated. How you have your import previews configured will have no effect on your smart previews.
    Incidentally, in order for my suggestion to work it would be necessary to only have one of those external drives connected. And when the other EHD is connected it would have to have the same drive letter or name. In other words it would have to appear to the iMac that it is precisely the same drive.

  • How do I pre-render only portions of the timeline or selected clips?

    I'm switching from Vegas Pro to Premiere Pro. In Vegas, you select a portion of the timeline, then hit control-B and it pre-renders that segment.
    In Premiere, you hit enter, but it doesn't pay attention to the selected clips, it just pre-renders the entire sequence.
    This wouldn't be such a big problem except I'm managing projects that are fairly long, with 20-30 sequences and 20 or so nested sequences in each project and I'm switching between around 18 different projects for a series of 23 or so videos.
    These vids are already taxing my system resources with only a few minutes or so (referencing about 80-120gb of source footage), but my office comp is kinda weak.
    The problem is that when I pre-render a nested sequence and bring it back to the main timeline, I have to pre-render it *again* after making the next set of adjustments (ie color correction, transitions etc). Then I have to do it AGAIN when I copy it to another timeline for another similar project.
    Every time, it can take as long as 15 or 20 minutes (my video card is an nVidia GTX 560 Ti, it has CUDA, but prem doesn't support it for some reason).
    When my main timeline glitched out, forcing me to split into different projects, it took me almost 4 hours just to copy things into place with the additional 20 minutes to load the glitched file.
    Then I had to go and pre-render everything again to work my edits back into place.
    Even when everything is 90% correctly laid out, I still have to wait for the entire sequence to finish pre-rendering.
    As above, in Vegas Pro, I just select a portion of the timeline and the pre-render sticks to that area.
    I saw an article that said you could create in and out points and use that for rendering, but it doesn't seem to be a CS6 thing.
    I heard that Adobe was trying to keep CS6 up to date as a parallel thing to CC. Surely I don't have to switch to a $600/year subscription just so I can pre-render portions of the timeline like a lower-end competitor program has had for something like 5 years...?
    What am I missing? There has to be a way to do this simply.

    Are you sure?
    I have only 3 options on my Sequence menu.
    The first is: Render Effects in Work Area (default shortcut - Enter)
    Then: Render Entire Work Area
    and: Render Audio
    No other Render options are available from that menu.
    Oddly, those two things are virtually identical. One of them shows 52 clips, the other showed 57 clips. With 26389 frames (approximately...) ETA is around 20-25 mins. That's not very workflow friendly.
    It is smart enough that if I pre-render once, making minor changes later makes for much less pre-rendering work, but because I'm working with so many similar projects and sequences, all of them end up needing to be completely re-pre-rendered even if I'm doing a copy-paste and I need to tweak a few little things in one area of the timeline.
    This was especially evident recently when in a 3 hour period, I had to go through 4 revisions and needed to keep my original iterations because the person who made the broad, sweeping decisions was making really bad decisions and I knew I would end up going back to my original plan and making a few comparatively simple changes (which is exactly what happened right after the 3 hours).
    Out of 3 hours, I could have lost a good hour and a half just waiting around for pre-rendering stuff that hard already been pre-rendered, but because it had been copy-pasted, Prem couldn't see those previous pre-renders.
    I actually only lost around 40 mins. But I had to reshoot footage, including setting up lights and camera angles, plus import and do color correction again thanks to no round-tripping to speedgrade and having shot in other areas with those cameras...
    If I had been doing it in Vegas, I would have spent only around 10 minutes doing those pre-renders. Oh and Vegas can use my GPU... I'm an Adobe guy mainly, so it's frustrating to see Vegas win on silly niggles like this.

  • After upgrading to Premiere Pro CC 2014, I can't change the render preview location

    Ever since I downloaded Premiere Pro CC 2014, I cannot re-route my render preview files. I have two internal hard drives and I need the files to go to my secondary one. With CC, it did this just fine, but since I've upgraded to 2014, it will not do it. I've set it the same way I did before in Preferences/Media, then set the Media Cache Files and Media Cache Database to the new hard drive.  It's eating all my hard drive space and I cannot render or export a large sequence. Is there a trick to this I'm missing that has changed?

    Thanks Neil! I'm actually wondering how to change where the preview files go. I've attached two screen grabs. Right now my media cache is going to my SATA drive (my smaller of my two internal hard drives and the drive where Premiere Pro is located.) I want to re-route my render files to go to my Macintosh HD drive which is much larger and gives me more breathing room. I could do that before but since I've upgraded to 2014, even though I have it set in preferences, it STILL goes to my SATA drive. So annoying! I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug. I'm still running Mountain Lion (getting ready to finally upgrade, I've just been needing to backup my computer), could this be the reason? Any ideas? Thanks so much for the help!

  • Can't render preview on some clips

    In my timeline I've got a bunch of clips - some have yellow lines above them in the render bar, some red, some green.  And then some have no lines at all, it's these that are the problem.
    When I tell it to 'render preview' it will make all the clips with yellow and red lines turn to green just fine, but does nothhing with the clips that have no lines above them at all, it's like it thinks 'these clips are so easy to play I dont need to render preview, they dont have effects or anything on them', however it is sorely mistaken because when I play back the preview everything plays fine except those clips, which stutter and skip (because they are uncompressed HD video).
    Is there a way to force every clip to 'render preview', not just the ones Premiere thinks need it?

    I am editing it off a seperate hard drive, an external harddrive connected via USB.  So that could very well cause it.
    I'd like to keep editing it there though, if there's some way I could tell premiere to cache the files even though they look like an agreeable format...

  • No render preview window??

    Hi,
    Having started another project on LT, I find that after a "normal" render preview, the window no longer shows up. I haven't had this situation prior and wonder where I might find a reason for such.
    Thanks!

    And you're certain that you closed the previous instance of the render preview window? If you don't, LiveType sends that window behind all others, yet will still render to it when doing a preview. The real bug is that a render preview does not bring that window back to the front. In other words, hit up the Window menu and see if that window is listed.
    Or is your issue beyond that?

  • AE cs6 crash during render preview

    AE is crashing during a render preview.
    Version: cs6 11.0.4 (recently updated).
    System: iMac mid 2011 running os X 10.7.5
    Processor: 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
    Memory: 16 gb 1333 MHz RAM
    Error message: "Last log message was: <4453353824> <ae.blitpipe> <2> Making New Context."
    In my comp I am using four masked solid layers with keyframes, no 3D or 3rd party plugins. The crash occurred after adding an adjustment layer and applying Turbulent Displace with an expression and Simple Choker. Crash occurs at the same point in the timeline every time I do a render preview. I've tried purging the cache, rebooting everything. I tried clearing the preferences with the command "command option shift" at startup, but that didn't seem to work (got no pop up window with yes/no option, maybe not doing it right?). Please let me know if you have any advice or need more information to clarify the issue. Thanks.

    The problem is in Mask 1 on the Head layer. Delete and redraw/re-animate that mask.
    Or, better...
    Why are you drawing masks on solid layers for animation? That stopped being the right way to create graphics in After Effects seven years ago, when we introduced shape layers. I strongly recommend using shape layers for the kind of work that you're doing here. Also, I just checked, and copying and pasting your mask paths into shape layers path makes the problem go away, so whatever bug there is there is just with masks on solids.
    To learn shape layers, go through Andrew Devis's materials in this series:

  • Extending Render preview in After Effects CC

    I have a brand new iMac 27". I've googled to the best of my ability how to extend the render preview. Enabling cache has done nothing. changing the resolution as done nothng. Reducing the quality of the preview has done nothing, in fact it doesn't matter if it's full quality. It stops rendering the preview 100 frames into a 60 second comp. Any help is greatly apreciated.

  • Pre-comp / pre-render workflow?

    I've just submitted a feature request at : http://www.apple.com/feedback/motion.html
    I wanted to find out if anyone has a workflow that works well for this. I have one but it can be tedious when working with complex animations.
    In AE we have the concept of a pre-comp, or a pre-render. Basically you can take a bunch of layers and group them, and pre-render them. You can do the same thing in motion a couple different ways. Motion doesn't have pre-comps, but rather just groups. But you can't render the group within the .motn file. You have to take this group to another motn file, export it, then re-import the ProRes4444 .mov into the larger project. THEN, if you need to make any adjustments, you have to open the smaller motn file, make adjustments independent of the main project, re-export... reNAME export (since the larger project is -using- the media), then relink the media in the overall project.
    I'm not an advanced user of AE, but I do understand the workflow and I think motion would benefit from a way to break down the layers into pre-renders, but in a much more straightforward way.
    I do know that you can export a selection, and then choose to re-import to media after export, but then you end up with extra layers that you have to hide, and you still have to reimport that .mov and replace the layer you exported. Not very clean.
    Additionally, when creating a sub-project, it makes sense to make it the best quality, so if you have something small as part of your project, and you export selection, it will be that same small size in a larger file format. For example, you have a tiny circle spinning in your HD project and you want to "pre-render" it. You export that layer and you have a .mov that's HD size, but your circle is a tiny portion of that .mov. So if you wanted to zoom in on it it would be super pixelated. So the right thing to do is export selection and have the layer autofill into the HD boundaries.
    Do the advanced users work their complex projects like this too?...

    David/Andy:
    Really good points guys. I certainly am not saying Motion should be like AE. I am not starting a thread that is a comparison of the two. Each has it's own workflow, and Andy I think you bring up a really good point. I rarely use clones but they are a powerful tool in the right circumstance. I am curious about more complex design workflows and how some of us push the limits.
    David, I agree with your point about keeping Motion simple. Apple is proficient at keeping their software/hardware simple. Software that serves one purpose, or devices that have only a few buttons. The elegance is what we all like.
    Additionally, to your point Andy, we can do things withOUT precoming in Motion. Just keeping things in layers is good enough really. Like I said, I'm not really an AE user, but I do understand the concepts. I like the idea of a pre-rendered portion of the animation. Just seems to take the processor intensive portions out of creating complex animations. Moreover I think I am just wondering if I could create more complex animations WITH some of the design workflows that AE offers (like pre-rendering).
    At the end of the day I feel like I can do SO much with Motion, and have wiggle room to play around more. I'm definitely excited about a new version of Motion, and to see what sort of new features make it in. Perhaps nodal workflows, perhaps more 3D design tools... we'll see.

  • Premiere Pro CC: Pre-Render stalls and hangs occassionally

    Hi all,
    is everyone else experiencing that after hitting enter to do a quick pre-render, the progress bar pops up but then the system just "hangs". The application doesn't really stop working, but there is no progress.
    It almost feels that the application can't find the source material. But it only does it occasionally. Its hard to reproduce reliably, The "Rendering" window appears and then nothing happens. When I click cancel, the system locks up and that is it then. Sometimes it comes back to life, but only sometimes...could not find a pattern here either.
    I first thought its my hard drive but then it just happens at times, just as like it had forgotten where to look for the source material. Its very annoying ...

    I've not seen this myself.  How long do you wait for it till you decide it's not working?
    I have seen things lock up when hitting Cancel, though.  Not sure what that's about.
    On a side note, there is no pre-render in PP.  Hitting Enter is just a render.
