Premiere CC renders faster in the background than in the foreground?

I have some dynamic linked comps that I need to render out for smooth playback. Select the region on the timeline, press enter. What I've noticed is that it renders at about the rate of one frame every five seconds. When I bring another window to the front, say Google Chrome, and position the new window so I can still the see the progress, the render suddenly picks up speed and goes at the rate I would expect from my 2013 Mac Pro. If I make Premiere active again, the speed drops. Anyone know what's going on or have similar issues?
2013 Mac Pro running Mavericks 10.9.2 and the latest updates of CC

Hi Jeff,
I cleared my renders and tried them again with Activity Monitor open and yes, there was a change when I would switch and the progress picked up speed.

Premiere Pro Freezes mac while rendering Fast Color Corrector & Rgb curves

I am having a problem that is impacting our business. We are doing commercials that we are doing color correction of the subject using Fast Color Corrector and RGB curves. When these effects are added to the sequenced video, the performance of the Mac Pro slows down considerably.
Then when we go to render the project so that we can see the effects in real time, the computer freezes completely. The program usually informs us that it must close due to a serious error. I have attempted to restart the computer, clean up permissions etc to solve this problem but to no avail. Why would this happen? Any ideas on how to solve it?
Here are the specs:
Using Premiere Pro CC 7.2.1 (4)
Mac Pro: 3.2 Ghz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 24 GB
ATI Radeon HD 5770 (1024 MB)
OS: 10.8.5

Yes. I experimented on my own and got confirms from a couple of sources. Where the problem was is bad suggestions about what settings to use in Premiere Pro.
The first setting you want to check (although Premiere Pro will probably see the card right away is:
File > Project Settings > General - Make sure that Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration is selected. Everyone agrees on this.
Now is where the fun begins. There is a school of thought that says to go here:
Sequence > Sequence Setttings - Under Video Previews, they want you to check off Maximum Render Quality. Once you do this, you must also go to:
Preferences > Memory - and change Optimize Rendering for Performance
DO NOT DO THIS! What I found is that this significantly slows down your system and makes rendering and exporting take over your computer (and I have a lot of ram). Leave your change with the setting Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and you should be great.
I have found a significant change in running color correction effects, exporting and rendering. You will too.
Let me know how you make out after your setup.
Have a great day!

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here

And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

Is the wifi faster in the new 3T time capsule (cylindrical) than the older 1T (flat box)?

I have a 4 year old 1T time capsule that is full (it's a flatter form factor). I am contemplating upgrading to a new 3T time capsule (cylindrical form factor). Aside from the extra storage, is there anything else better? Is the wifi data transfer faster?

The new Time Capsule features "ac" wireless capability.......2-3 times faster wireless than your current Time Capsule.....but in order to realize the benefit of "ac", your Mac needs to be capable of receiving an "ac" wireless signal.
If it's not, then you should expect about the same performance as you have now.
Both your older Time Capsule and the newer Time Capsule support Gigabit Ethernet, so the speed capabilites would be equal over a wired connection.

Premiere CC renders RED PICTURES to QT DNxHD Video into Blends

Hello Community,
I'm new in here but I try hard to give all the details.
In my company we use Premiere Pro CC Version 7.2.2 (33) on a Win7 PC.
Every time Premiere CC renders a QuickTime DNxHD there are these red pictures coming up. You cant see anything from the original pictures - there is just red for about 10 frames
They are most frequent before of after a blend.
We have tried to save them to different places (Desctop, 2 Plates,...)
We have tried to change the settings like "max. render Quality"
We have tried to render with and without "In-/Out Markers"
We have tried to export it directly in Premiere CC as well as exporting it to Media Encoder
We have tried to change where ever you can change the Renderer Setting from "GPU" to "only Software"
... and so on
one in a million times it works but if you try it twice with the exact same settings it's red again. So it must be a different Problem which we cant handle yet..
Maybe you have any idea what the problem can be
Many thanks in advance

I would definitely suggest a new system since the CPU's in that are really not going to push the 680GTX Mac card which is far better than the Quadro. The effects your using are really going to slow the export down since those take significant CPU processing. A 6 Core workstation with one of the current Ivy-E chips would perform far better for the workflow you have and those effects. Plan on 32GB of ram as well.

5000 frame project renders fast at first... then... slooooows.... down.

Maybe you guys can help me with this. I have a single ProRes 4444 Quicktime movie in a comp. No effects, no scaling. Just re-rendering the Quicktime to another ProRes 422 Quicktime. It's about 5000 frames @ 1600x1200.
So it starts of blazingly fast. The Est Remains shows 3 minutes! Yay!
Then about 1/3 into it... the...render..... starts....to .... slow..... down....
About the half way point, Est Remains: 14 minutes! Boo!
What's going on? Why is AE slowing down on a pure no effect, no compositing render? How can I fix it?
Snow Leopard 10.6.2/AE CS4 9.0.2 /16GB RAM/Mac Pro (Late 2008)

I totally agree, Szalam. But this was a test of AE. I noticed that my actual project with effects and layers 'n junk was getting progressively slower as the render went on. Even the though the effects & number of layers remained fairly consistent (in fact, there were actually fewer effects and layers in the later part of the project, but the estimated time kept growing and growing.)
Todd, yes using 6 CPUs, I have enough memory for 2.27GB/CPU and 2GB left for other apps. I agree 14 minutes isn't bad. But when it screams through the first few hundred frames in seconds and then...starts.... to... chug.... and... get....slow... I get the Spock raised eyebrow expression . And the fact that it stayed at "Est Complete: 14 minutes" for 15 minutes really makes me start pulling my hair out in large clumps.
I was thinking maybe I could break it up into segments? Render 1000 frames in one queue, another 1000, etc. Give it a chance to do clear its mental constipation by doing whatever internal purge it does when finishing one render and starting another? Does AE kinda fart out at really long renders?
You know the inner workings far better than I!
(And how's this gonna work with 64-bit? Each process can have have petabytes!)

I bought the Mac version of Premiere Elements, can I get the Windows version for free or cheap with my serial number?

I bought the Mac version of Premiere Elements, can I get the Windows version for free or cheap with my serial number? I'm about to migrate back to PC soon and I'd love to not have to buy the program again since I just bought it. Under my order history though it only shows it for Mac so I wanted to make sure.

The boxed packaging is not sold by Adobe direct. If you want to explore that type of purchase which offers the perk of a Windows and a Mac installation disc, you need to purchase from an authorized reseller who is not going to offer you "upgraded pricing". The seller would be its own entity with its own pricing and own return/refund policy. Sometimes the authorized reseller price may be less than the Adobe"upgraded pricing".
Did you purchase your Premiere Elements 13 Mac from Adobe direct and are within 30 days of purchase? If so, you can contact Adobe Chat Orders to ask for return/refund. And, then you can explore the authorized resellers for pricing and availability of the box packaging. Maybe check out the pricing all around before making any final decisions.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

So thanks! Problem solved!

I purchased Adobe Elements Photoshop 12 & Premiere 12 together from a camera shop in town. When I tried to use the Premiere, it splashed "created with the trial version" over all of the photos. How can this unsightly watermark be removed. It has severely hampered my timeline to start and finish this project. Why would a purchase software product purport to be a "trial" version?

This indicator will appear when you have not registered your product or typed in the serial number for the product.
Once you've added the serial number, any future products will not display this indicator.
To remove this this indicator from videos created before you added the serial number, you'll need to delete the rendered files.

Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

Premiere Pro is not reading all of the video content in my AVCHD clip. I know this because my computer plays all of the content through Preview, so the information is on the card. How do I get Premiere to read all of the content?

First, AVCHD isn't just "one" clip, it splits the video & audio into several files each per clip, typically with randomly generated names. The only way they "play" correctly is if the software doing so is able to read from the data file ...in a different folder ... the information that X clip is actually A, B, D, #@, and 456 video clips and TR, #r54, and ert$%4 audio clips. The next "clip" is ... and on and on. So both rapid access to the video files AND that database file are necessary to play the files back, or do anything else with them.
VLC is a fairly decent but simple playback tool. It's nowhere near as complicated nor demanding in its "relationship" with those clips as an NLE like PrPro, which will be trying to do more reading & writing.
Further, many of the preferences in PrPro are natively set so that it writes project, cache, preview, & database files next to the footage. So ... if it doesn't have both a fast enough connection with the data AND space for putting all of it's own stuff there, it tells you it can't work the file.
Therefore ... the need to have the complete data from the card in the exact same folder structure it was in ON the card copied to a "local" hard drive.

New imac faster at handling RAW than my MacPro

I had a play around with a new iMac yesterday and tried Aperture with some Apple installed RAW (Nikon) imaged files. I was surprised to find Aperture snappier and Using the loupe is noticeably faster on the iMac.
Why is the new iMac faster when handling/manipulating RAW files in Aperture?
Some are saying (in the MacPro forum) the ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT video card is actually a little slower than my stock Nvidia 7300GT so it can't be video performance.
So what could be the issue?

A properly configured MP is far superior to any iMac for Aperture performance. As to why the described MP is slow:
The stock 7300GT card is very limiting to Aperture on a MP and should be replaced with an 8800GT when retrofit cards are available.
3 GB RAM on a MP is limiting. RAM is inexpensive now, so IMO MPs should have more RAM, adding two 2-GB sized DIMMs as a minimum add. For heavy apps like Adobe CS or Aperture I recommend adding 8 GB RAM, always minimum 2-GB sized DIMMs to avoid wasting limited slots. IMO RAM is the cheapest performance enhancer and most of us handling heavy graphics will want even more RAM, all slots, over the life of a new MP.
I would recommend buying 4-GB sized DIMMs except that they currently cost much more per GB.
Of course there are also lots of non-hardware issues that also affect performance. Steve Weller, builder of the excellent <http://www.bagelturf.com/index.html> Aperture website, discusses speed improvements here:
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1273934&tstart=75>
Immediately prior to and immediately after every installation of any kind (essentially anything that asks for sysadmin password) I recommend repairing Permissions. Note that repairing Permissions at other times does not have the same effect as immediately prior to and immediately after installations. Repairing Permissions is routine maintenance, not a magic fix.
On the Photoshop forums for years there have been many instances of some folks getting poor or unstable performance out of setups that other folks get good performance out of. We see the same thing here on the Aperture forums. The suggested protocol of repairing Permissions before/after installs is one of the routines that many of us with long term good Adobe performance have tended to follow.
There are many tens of thousands of files with Permissions settings. IMO maintaining them in a consistent state immediately before and after each installation of any kind is a potentially useful protocol with no down side risk.
System and application setup and maintenance apparently become particularly important on boxes used for heavy graphics. All apps and the OS should be in synch, version wise. Hard drives should not be allowed to become too full. Many folks run Cocktail routinely; I just let OS X do its own routine maintenance. Read the forums like MacFixit to be aware of know apps conflicts.

ME2N report displaying more columns in Background than foreground.I want same columns in Background as Foreground

Hi All,
ME2N report displaying more columns in Background than foreground.I want same columns in Background as Foreground having 10 columns.Already i have created the default variant in foreground when i execute the report in background by proving the same variant it is displaying more columns almost 70 columns.Kindly suggest and guide me how to restrict the report to get same columns in background as in foreground.
Kindly provide is there any OSS Note available.
Thanks,
Prashanth Reddy

I do not think it is possible to assign default layout for background job.
System will show you all field for background job for transaction ME2N.
Actually the screen layout is assigned with t-code (ME2N)
When the report is running in foreground, then system will take the screen layout for the t-code.
But when you run the background, then system will run the program directly (does not take the t-code). So the default screen layout will not fetch during running the background job.
For more details have a look into the thread Selecting layout in selection screen

I am using elements & premiere 12 on my PC using windows 7. My problem is that photos in portrait view in slideshow are OK but when I move the slideshow to premiere to edit included video the portrait photos turn side-on and stretch when still in portrait view. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Any comments would be appreciated.

What is the Output option that you are selecting for the transfer of the Elements Organizer 12/12.1 slideshow to Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Editor?
If you are using Edit with Premiere Elements output option, are you using the Premiere Elements command to break apart the Elements Organizer slideshow and then applying rotation to the portrait files? Or, it is this more than just a photo rotation matter?
More on this in the morning.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

How much fast are the new iMac's?

I've been looking at upgrading my G5 PowerMac for a while and now Apple has just updated the iMac. How much faster are the new models over the just superseded ones and my G5 (spec below).
I mainly us it for my work with Photoshop CS2 and the G5 does a great job most of the time but is showing it's age. I was looking at the 2nd model but for not much more you can get the 27inch screen with better upgrade options.

Hi Craig,
even the very first 2006 released Intel iMacs were faster than the G5 iMacs including yours.
See this Barefeats test http://www.barefeats.com/imcd3.html
Check additional tests on Barefeats on older iMacs against newer ones http://www.barefeats.com/
The new 2010 iMacs of any sort run circles around the 2006 iMacs, so you are in for a very pleasant surprise
Regards
Stefan
