Reducing Time of Rendering when Exporting to Encore

Does anyone know how to reduce the rendering time when exporting from Premiere Pro CS3 to Encore? I'm trying to create a DVD of a 90 minute event using VBR 1 Pass and is taking 22 hours to get the job done! I have a 5 GB Mac Pro with 2 X 3 GHz Dual Core Intel Xeon Processors running on OS 10.4.11. Will "Forcing CBR" help? Will it compromise image quality? Any thoughts?

With your machine the encoding to MPEG should be better then real time: a 90 minutes timeline should take about 90 minutes or less. However the effects and transitions rendering can greatly add to this time. Some effects can take "forever" to render. If you provide the effects you are using, we may be able to tell you which ones are time consuming to render.

Premiere Pro CS3 crashes when exporting to Encore CS3

"Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project."
That is the error message. I am editing an AVCHD project in which I already converted as an .mpg prior to importing into Premiere (since CS3 does not import AVCHD natively). This is the first time I am doing this workflow, as a client has given me AVCHD files to work with. The project RT is 1 hr 2 min. I need to create a DVD and Blu-ray of this project.
System Specs
~Processor: AMD Phenom 9600 Quad-Core Processor 2.30GHz
~RAM: 4.00 GB
~OS: Windows Vista 32-bit
~Have the most recent updates for all CS3 programs
I tried:
Exporting to Encore
~Tried various settings for DVD. NTSC Progressive Widescreen High Quality, Medium, etc.
~Tried the preset for exporting Blu-ray to Encore.
~Created a new sequence with about 7 min of the project to see if it was a corrupt file; same results.
Using Adobe Media Encoder
~Used various presets and custom settings with the same result [error message; Premiere "stops working" and then crashes]
~Created a new sequence with about 7 min of the project to see if it was a corrupt file; same results.
I observed the Windows Task Manager when Premiere is opened and then when it crashes. The RAM is at 1.12GB before the project is opened, goes up to 2.17GB when it is opened, and remains about the same when it crashes. The CPU Usage is about 4-10% before the project is opened, spikes dramatically (+/- 10-80%) when Premiere is opened as well when it crashes.
I appreciate any and all help. Thank you to everybody in advance who will contribute a solution to my problem!

Time Data Type when Exporting to Excel

Hello,
I have a report I wrote using crystal reports XI. There is a datetime field which I converted to a time field through the use of a formula and the time function. When I right click on the field and view the data type it says time.
However, when I export to excel the field comes up as a custom field. How do I get it so that the exported field will appear as a time field in excel?
Thank you for your help.

Red frames when exported to encore

Not sure if this is an encore or a premiere pro problem
I am trying to create a blu ray disc from a video shot in HDV.
I have captured and edited my video in premiere pro and it looks great but I am having problems getting it on to a blu ray disc. I am using premiere pro CS3.
If I export to encore or use the adobe media encoder I end up with a few clips being affected by being replaced with bright red frames.
Now I have tried this on two projects and its always the same clips which are affected
so I have started a new project gone back to the source footage and captured just a clip which was affected and tried to encode that single clip with the same results it gets corrupted into red frames.
The clip plays perfectly well in premiere pro and can be exported back to tape without any problems ...so what is going on

Thanks for responding Jeff.
Its hard to know what has corrupted the frames as sometimes after encoding i get some completely red frames and some whith a little of what should be there showing through.
It happens consistantly on two clips that I have been using in different projects.
so as I said before I have created a new project gone back to the original and recaptured those two clips into my new project and tried to encode them in several different ways but all fail to encode properly.
This is a Pal Project recorded captured and edited in HDV
I used the MPEG2 settings and frame size of 1440X1080.
I first used the default setting for 1440x1080 quality high, with a default qualty of 4 and then increased the quality to 5 without improving things.
Ive tried reducing the target bit rate from the default to 20, still the same.
Ive tried using CBR instead of VBR 2 pass. still no difference.
My machine is a Dual Quadcore Xeon processors. with 4 GB of ram and a Matrox RTX2 card. both my video hard discs have around 50% free.
I really am struggling to know what is wrong.

Time stamp changes when exporting...

Hi,
I sometimes want to export an Aperture album to iPhoto so I can then send it to iDVD as a slide-show. I sometimes use Photoshopped jpeg diagrams (not photos) mixed in with my raw originals in the Aperture album as well. I've altered their time stamps so they everything is sorted chronologically as I'd like them.
When I export to a folder I'm finding that the time stamps are being altered and I have to tweak the order in iPhoto - or export with new filenames and sort by title afterwards. This behavious is very puzzling, is it a bug or a feature???

I have the same problem using Photoshop Elements as the editor. The time is changed by 1 hour. Why....? Has anyone found out how this can be stopped?

Aperture Reduces Image pixels & size when exporting or importing. Why?

For some reason I can no longer find my original "master images" which I imported via a link from my PC.
I scanned the negatives at a high enough resolution/output size for an 11"x14" PRINT.
However, now I have a different version of that scanned image at 1708 x960 pixels.
Why does this happen to all of my exported images, even when I drag & drop these images to the desk top?
Many thanks,
Stressed-out aperture user.

I'm not sure if I understand your post exactly.
What size in pixels were the original scans? - 11" x 14" doesn't tell us much as we don't know how many PPI.
Assuming you are using Aperture to manage your masters (importing them into the Aperture Library) then you should be able to export them at whatever size you want.
Perhaps you were using referenced masters and have lost the external master files? - If so, then I think Aperture will only have "previews" available at whatever resolution you have chosen as the default.

Reduce Doc Size When Exporting

Is there a way to reduce a page size when exporting from InDesign? I have a 20 x 30 poster want to export at 50% and make the pdf @ 10 x 15. Thanks.

by print to pdf do U mean make a ps file instead of exporting, correct?
Well, here's the thing... the orig question was a generalization of what we are trying to do.
The actual file is 19 pgs of panels that are 20 x 30. We need to make pdfs for the client to look at on screen. The file is huge when we try to make pdfs by exporting... even at the smallest file size and then reduce file in Acrobat. We found that reducing the doc size & making pdf yields a much smaller and more manageable file size, but it takes very long to postscript. We were just trying to avoid that step. Thought for sure the was a way to reduce the output size when exporting.

Rate Stretch audio goes out of sync when exported.

Audio, which is rate stretched using the rate stretch tool to 100.01%, plays fine in Premiere Pro CS6. However, when exported to Encore or to MPEG-2 file, the audio is no longer stretched and becomes out of sync by the end of the video. When I play the preview in Encore, the audio is out of sync. Switch back to Premiere, it is OK. Export a MPEG-2 file and author a DVD, the audio is out of sync. Go back to Premiere, it is OK. I record the audio using a TASCAM portable recorder. I have recorded and synched audio many times and this is the first time that it does not work, on two separate Premiere projects. Any ideas on how to fix this. Even better, is there a way to record audio so that it matches the video (from a Panasonic HD AVCHD camcorder) without requiring rate stretch adjustment?

Try changing the speed with right click, Speed/Duration instead of using the Rate Stretch tool.

Distortion in audio when exporting HDV to tape

I'm having trouble sending a native HDV project back to tape. The picture looks fine on the export, but the audio is severely distorted. It's not overmodulation. I have a -10 limiter on the audio master track, and the VUs on my deck don't show anything like any clipping. But the sound it's making is similar to clipping. Any ideas? Thanks,
Stu

Howard,
Thanks for the reply. It's hard to describe the sound...it actually reminds me of the sound a 16mm projector makes when it loses its loop, sort of a strobing distortion. As for constancy, no it's definitely not constant in the sense that, say, ground loop hum is constant. It's "attached" to the sounds as the play back, so that when the timeline is very quiet it's hardly audible, but when you get any sound at all, it comes up. I know that might sound like clipping, but I don't see how it could possibly be for a few reasons:
1. There's a -9 limiter on the audio master track.
2. It sounds perfectly fine both in timeline playback and when exported to Encore.
3. The VUs in the original source clips, the timeline, and the deck on output all show clean levels with no clipping.
I'm wondering if it's related to my deck, but I haven't had a chance to check that yet. I'll try outputting to the camera when I get back in to work on Monday, but if you have any other ideas as to what the cause might be, I'd be happy to hear them. Thanks.

During the rendering of complex FCPX mac crashes and I have to force a restart.
I also happens when I try to export movies with Motion 5.
Does anyone have the same problem with my new iMac?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
find . $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "35." Please post it in a reply.

Premiere Pro project becomes "broken" when rendering or exporting.

Hey, everybody.
First off I am by no means an expert or anything when it comes to using PR.
This is my first time using Premiere Pro. I opened up a new project using all of the default settings.
My project consists of audio of some keyboards and synths that was digitally recorded with an iPad and mixed down to a mp4. It also includes about 15 different video clips recorded from an iMac, Macbook Pro and an iPad. There are no effects on any of these clips other than keyframes that are controlling the opacity and animation of the clips to move them around and appear in my project.
I have sorted everything out in my timeline so that my preview window displays exactly what I want my finished project to look like.
Now I've noticed that there is a yellow bar above the entire sequence in my timeline and I think that means that all of it hasn't fully rendered, otherwise it would be green.
I've tried to render the entire work area and when I do the computer works through all the frames for about ten minutes or so.
When I play the project after this process EVERYTHING goes crazy. Flashing lights and random clips playing upside down in the corner of the screen, choppy playback, titles that appeared in the beginning now popping up at seemingly random times.
So naturally after this occurred, I went back in time to a backup of the project that I had made before the render.
So now I am back with my project and it's yellow bar above the timeline....everything is back to normal and the finished product plays perfectly through the preview window.
So now I just think "RENDER BAD" and have attempted to just export sequence.
I select the sequence by clicking somewhere in the timeline, go to file>export>media. For the first attempt I had at exporting I checked the box that made it so the source information matched up with all of the output information. When the video finishes it's export I go to watch it and I see VERY similiar problems with the video from when I had tried to render everything before. Flashing lights, clips playing out of sequence, weird interlacing issues and even out of sync with the audio.
At this point I have tried exporting the sequence with different settings applied ten or more times with similiar results everytime.
I even did a test once where I exported the sequence twice on the same settings and the finished result came out differently for both videos. Similiar problems still but they would mess up at different places in the exported file.
I've watched countless youtube videos on how to properly export a project in Premiere Pro and searched the web for people that may have a similiar issue to mine. Nobody seems to have an answer for me.
PLEASE HELP ME.

Ok. Reading up on the red, yellow, and green bars was definitely very helpful.
When I made reference to "the box" to match up my source information with the output information I was indeed writing about the "Match Sequence Settings" option. Good to know that it's not recommended.
Here are the answers to your questions:
• I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 version 6.0.0
• Information about the iMac that I am using:
Processor is 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory is 4GB 1333 MGz DDR3
Graphics is AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
Software is OSX 10.8.5 (12F45)
• About the video clips:
20 of the clips were recorded with an iPad. Some of them have different frame rates. It's an assortment of 24fps, 25fps, and 30fps. All of them have a resolution of 1280x720 (1.0)
One clip is played at the very end of the sequence and it was recorded with the iMac. It's frame rate is 14.9fps and it has a resolution of 720x480.
I searched for the "codec" for these clips but was unable to find this......I think that is because I don't really know what "codec" means. I think it has to do with the compression. If that is the case then they all seem to have a compressor of H.264
As I typed that out I realized that the difference in frame rates between my clips could be my problem. Am I possibly right?
• Sequence Settings: I think that is the dialog box you were looking for.
• Lastly my export settings:
   My export settings have varied numerous times because I have messed around with them so much trying to "get lucky" with an export, like maybe I would just select the correct options and all of a sudden it would work.
   But as I stated in my previous post, the first time I attempted to export I chose the "Match Sequence Settings" option.
   Other than that I have messed around with the "H.264" format using various YouTube presets. Also I have tried using the Quicktime format with the NTSC DV preset......and all of the Quicktime presets for that matter.

Stops rendering to media until I restart the program - when exporting to H.264

When exporting to media, sequences in Premiere Pro CS6 sometime just stop rendering to media (with no error warning)...until I restart the program. Other times the same sequence will report an "error" for "unknown" causes. This generally happens on a 2 pass variable export rendering to H.264.... but almost never on a CBR renderings. It is almost always solved with restarting Premiere.
I'm not sure if this is related, but I just built a new system with a terabyte solid state drive and reinstalled CS6 when it seems that these errors began. The preview renderings are being saved to a partition on this drive, but the export renderings go to a different normal spinning Sata drive.
Any suggestions?

Others have reported the same thing, and I saw it happen once but can't tell what combination of factors is causing the encoder library to fault. Queuing the sequence into AME doesn't seem to help, nor does rendering with previews.
The 'workaround' is to export from Premiere in another, high-quality format (e.g. Cineform AVI) then use Media Encoder to convert to H.264. I can't make it crash in standalone mode, even with VBR2.

How do I keep the date/time when exporting photos?

When exporting photos from Photos.app on my Mac, it doesn't use the metadata that it displays in Photos--it uses the current date/time. So when I export a photo from 2010, it says it's dated 2015 when I import it into Aperture.
Is there a way to export an image with its original timestamp? Is this a bug? Thanks.

If you are editing tif files, then you have only a couple of choices.
Flatten the image before you save it. This will reduce it down to one layer. That's the smallest you can get.
When you first open the image, look to see if it's 8 bit or 16 bit tif. It won't help you, but if the image is 8 bit, and you save it as 16 bit, you will have dramatically increased the size of the file for nothing. If it's started as 16, no worries!
check if you are saving with compression. Tif compression is lossless, so unless you did something like resize+resample, it remains the same bit density, etc, so should be just as printable as what they sent you (unless you messed up!).
Cheers!

Audio goes out of sync when Blu-ray folder is exported from Encore CS6

I compile a project in Encore using H.264 and .wav files. The audio plays fine directly from the timeline. It also plays fine when I preview it from Encore. When I finally export it as a set of Blu-ray folders, the audio exports out of sync with the video. It is approximately 6-7 seconds ahead of the video. What am I doing incorrectly? When I mux the files into an .MKV, the video is in sync with the audio so I know the files themselves do not have different start times.
I am running with an HP Z820 with Windows 7, 64-bit OS and 16GB RAM.

For anyone who's interested, I found a solution to this problem. Once imported into Encore, the leader in on the video and audio files cannot be trimmed at all. (I had been trimming the beginning of the video and matching audio file to eliminate the 8 seconds of dead space at the start of the clips.) Although the trim took effect immediately in the Encore timeline and I could also watch it in preview in sync, exporting was another story. The audio track seems to retain the trim when exporting but the video track does not, hence the 6-7 second delay between audio and video.
I reimported the files to my project and left in the 8 seconds of dead space at the start and voila! The video and audio match up when exported.
Ideally the trim tool would just work as its supposed to through export and all, but at least I found a solution I can work with.
(As a note, the trim works just fine in export on Encore CS5. I only had this problem with Encore CS6.)

Not rendering - Getting dropped frames when exporting to tape

I am trying to export my project to Mini DV tape. I have been successful before, but am continually getting dropped frames. I noticed that the sections that are getting dropped frames are showing that it is not rendered (red bar). I have tried rendering them several times, but still show the red bar. I am using a PowerMac G5, Dual 2 GHZ processor with 3GB RAM. The footage is on a Lacie Firewire 800 external hardrive and there is almost 200 GB of free space. I do get occasional dropped frames, but not as often as I am now.

Is there anything else I can do? When I get the Warning - Dropped frames, it suggests turning off "Unlimited RT", which I have and set to "Safe" because I was getting dropped frames. Will this affect the quality when exporting? I have set the Video Quality to "Dynamic" and Frame Rate "Full" and Record "Full Quality". Do any of these settings need to be changed? Lowering your compression data rate (I'm not sure what that is), Closing open sequences (which I've done), Lowering the preference for real-time audio tracks (how do I do that and again will it affect the quality?), Increasing the speed of your system and/or disk drives and/or network connection (Is there a way for me to do that?)
