Rendering Issues using redgiant plugins premiere cs4

hi,
i have edited a interview, which i shot and then i applied redgiant effects of them. when trying to render it out, the rendering stops at 30 - 40% it just would not go any further. there are three cameras which were used in the shooting one was the canon xh a1, panasonic semi pro camera, and a sony semi pro. which were then merged in premiere pro to give views from different angles, just like interviews are done. the problems i am facing is that the end product would just not render out. the effects which i appiled on the project are, looks, mojo, and colourista, all of which are redgiant products.
the project renders out fine without the effects but with the effects it just gets stuck.
any help will be greatly appriciated, as i have been waiting for weeks to find out the solution.
thankyou in advance.

Exporting to H.264 is about as close as you can get. AVCHD is H.264, but a slightly specialized version of it. Exporting to pure AVCHD is not an option, but you will be very close with the H.264.
Recently, Jeff Bellune summed it up very well - to paraphrase, AVCHD is H.264, but a sub-set of it. All AVCHD is H.264, but not all H.264 is AVCHD. [If I got that wrong, I hope that Jeff will correct me, and accept my apologies.]
One consideration is that there are different providers of the H.264 CODEC. Three common ones are Apple's, Lead's and MainConcept's. Not sure if CS4 installs one, or not. I know that most, or maybe ALL of Adobe's CODEC's are from MainConcept, but in this case, I think that one needs to install a version of H.264. This is done automatically, when one installs Apple's QT Player (later versions), but some users have reported issues with the Apple H.264 CODEC, especially with Export. Most of those have reported much better Exports, when they installed either the Lead, or the MainConcept versions. Something to think about.
Good luck,

  • Issues rendering Premiere CS4 movie with Media Encoder

    I'm new to this but thought that someone might be able to provide some insight. I have Premiere CS4 and created a movie from a HD video camcorder.
    The imported clips are in the following format:
    Type: MPEG Movie
    Image Size: 1920 x 1080
    Pixel Depth: 32
    Frame Rate: 29.97
    Source Audio Format: 48000 Hz - compressed - Stereo
    Project Audio Format: 48000 Hz - 32 bit floating point - Stereo
    Average Data Rate: 1.3 MB / second
    Pixel Aspect Ratio: 1.0
    Now I'm simply trying to export the movie (Ctrl+M) using Media Encoder. I've been messing around with several different formats, including H264, MPEG and AVI and so far regardless of what output format I pick (even downsize) I'm getting some sort of "tearing" up in my clips. I'm not entirely sure how to describe this but it almost looks like a ghost effect with subjects leaving a ghost image when the scene starts moving around a bit.
    I rendered the same exact clip using Windows Movie Market just for the sake of it and everything looks fine.
    I'm rendering the clip on a Core i7 920 @3.7Ghz with 6GB of RAM so I don't think the speed is an issue as either (HD is a 300GB Velociraptor).
    Any ideas what I am doing wrong
    Thanks,
    Sam

    Second thing wrong is posting in this forum. People in the Premiere forum will do a better job of offering help This forum is dedicated to helping people with suite-wide issues such as installation.

  • Premiere CS4 - Multiple tracks always require rendering regardless

    It used to be if you had for instance mutiple tracks and the top track was a DV-AVI file with 100% opacity and no filters, no rendering was required. Now it seems that if you have anything on the lower tracks, even if completely hidden by the top layer, rendering is always required and transcoding takes longer - sometimes considerably depending on what's on the lower layers though not seen. I actually have to completely remove sections of clips on the lower tracks to speed up transcoding. Just more unnecessary work and time.
    Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I can not seem to find this precise issue among the slow rendering discussions.
    Bruce B

    I hope you've found the answer already, but it sound exactly what I've run into.
    My problem was that I upgraded from CS2 and then removed the suite once CS4 was running.
    If you have done the same thing, simply reinstall Premiere CS4 and it will work as it did for me.
    If not, I don't know what to tell you.
    Good luck,

  • Premiere CS4 Renders incorrectly

    I am having issues with rendering is Premiere CS4. Everytime I import files (png, gif, swf) and try to render them they are distorted.  I pay close attention to match the original file settings in my presets and have used the interpret footage option and that doesn't either. I am using a custom setting with a square pixel ratio and 24 fps.  Any ideas?

    JSS1138 wrote:
    I guess the point I was trying to make is that you don't edit swf files.  You create them when you're done editing standard camera media.
    I agree.  Is there a reason for using swfs?  Are you creating some animation effects in Flash or are you using swf sources that you didn't create yourself?
    Do the images look distorted in Premiere or is it just when you export?  If it's just when you export it sounds like the export has different aspect ratio settings than your project.  Check to make sure all of your export settings match your project (Especially Frame size and Pixel aspect ratio).
    I usually try to use 32-bit targa files for still images or a Photoshop .psd file since both can retain the alpha information.  JPEGs work well also, but can't hold alpha info.  Can you bring some of your images into Photoshop, convert them and see if that helps?

  • Premiere CS4 movies rendering out at 30fps but scene set up is 25fps

    Hi,
    I am scratching my head here, I am rendering out animation movies from Premiere Pro CS4 and the scene is set up to UK Pal 1024x576 custom set up to 25fps, however whenever I render out WMV, Quicktimes or sequencial frames the QT properties on any movie always say 30fps,
    how can this be, is there anywhere else a option for 30fps might be hidden from view,
    Kind Regards
    Mark Miles

    Hi Jeff,
    Basically if I try to import any of the 3d rendered projects I have created over the past 7 yers into a Custom scene in Premiere set to 25fps, it always looks at the files as 29.7 fps, even thougth the project file is set to 25fps,
    If I go to file interpret footage its default is set to "get fps from file" however there must be some flaw somwhere as none of my work has been rendered at 29.7fps, all files have forever been rendered at 25fps
    I have recently migrated over from Premiere 6.5 and have never had this problem in all 7 years of using Premiere, I just think that any uk users using 25 fps footage must have to always manually interpret the footage in the software and specify a fps as Premiere must have an issue in detecting 25fps footage..
    I know that sounds highly unlikely, and I was going to call Adobe UK later today to square this up.
    Cheers

  • Slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro

    I am having a similar slow down issue with Premiere CS4 on a Mac pro, but I don't have bloated prproj file size.
    Here is what I am working with:
    Mac Pro intel quad core 2.8ghz
    OSX 10.6.7 Snow Leopard
    6Gigs RAM
    3TB storage between 4 drives, each drive with about 50% free space
    I am editing a 10 minute HD video from avchd files.  The edited video is very heavy in photoshop files with a variety of different fx including green screen.  The system has slowed down to almost a standstill.  Anytime I move the playcurser, or try to do any action, it displays the spinning top "thinking" icon and takes 15 seconds to several minutes to unfreeze.  I am often forced to force quit and I have gotten unexpected quits several times.   The program also freezes on startup frequently.
    No other programs are running.  When I export with media encoder, it took about 4 hours to complete.  The last 4 or so photoshop images I added seemed to tip the program over the edge.  It had been slowing down some, but those last few really dropped the processing speed.  Before those additions, export took 30 min to 1hr.
    I did delete the render files (did not check if the file size was bloated beforehand, oops) but it has not significantly affected my performance.

    Do you need all of those extra pixels in the stills? Are you panning the full 4976?
    Two things to consider are that if you using, say a 1920 x 1080 Sequence Frame Size, you can only see that at any time, regardless of how large the images are in pixels. If there are extra pixels, i.e. the Pan is not using all 4976 pxls., I would Scale to just what you need in PS, prior to Import.
    If you are doing any Scale in PrPro, its Scaling algorithms are not as efficient, as those in PS. [Note: CS5 and 5.5 are a major improvement on that statement.]
    With many large stills (the max for CS4 is 4096 x 4096, if there ARE extra pixels, pushing those around will use up resources, and quickly. As a test, some years back, I was working on a "photo wall," and was using 4000 x 4000 images. The workstation had no issues with slowness, until I got to the 5th large still. By the 8th, the Project was too slow to edit. I had to wait for everything. Luckily, I have AE, and it handles large stills much more efficiently, and much differently, than PrPro. I just moved to an AE Comp, and completed the Project, finishing up n PrPro, after I Exported from AE.
    Just something to think about. With Scaling in PrPro, this is one time, where bigger is not necessarily better.
    Good luck,

  • Plz help me. how i can use plugin with cs4

    It is actually export plugin in CS, CS2 and CS3 while it is not working with CS4.
    It has an excellent Quality with low size, like Blue ray video. And with this tool, video size become very low.
    In our country some photographers use it with Edius and premier pro. I dont know how to use edius etc.
    But in CS3 it makes many problems.
    Thanx for your help. I have seen your foto many times in many forums.Always your solutions are very good.

  • InDesign CS4 - Serious Screen Rendering Issue

    I just migrated from the CS2 Suite to CS4 Suite (I uninstalled CS2 Suite first before installing CS4 Suite) on my Windows XP SP3 system.
    The first thing I noticed was that InDesign CS4 (ID) had trouble rendering its screens properly when doing common functions. When the issue occurs, only "parts" of the ID app screen will display (see attached figure), and the CPU usage (as shown in Task Manager) goes to 100% usage. At this point, my system grinds to a halt, and I don't know where I am in the ID application because the screen is not fully "painted". All I can do then is shut down ID using the "End Task" option of the Windows Task Manager. As soon as ID closes, my CPU usage immediately goes back to normal (5-10% range).
    So far, I've noticed this rendering issue when:
    - I minimize the app to the system tray, then go to maximize it. This happens with or without an ID file open.
    - I am closing/exiting a file
    - any time a lot of screen repainting needs to occur when moving "in" and "out" of ID
    This issue may not happen at every instance in the above circumstances, but often enough (90% of the time) to make ID virtually unusable to me. Sometimes, I am able to "jog" ID back to its senses (i.e., a proper repainting of the screen) by navigating through the ID menus. This works only sporadically, however, and the results usually do not last long.
    This issue does not show up on any other of my CS4 apps (PhotoShop, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc.), nor on any of my Windows Office 2003 apps. My other colleagues in my department have not seen this issue with their CS4 ID, and some of them are running nearly identical systems as mine (everything but the Dell monitor).
    What I've tried so far without any help:
    - used Adobe Updater for the latest CS4 updates (I am running ver. 6.0.2 of ID)
    - ran Windows Update and installed all the latest updates beyond SP3
    - deleted files on my hard drive to free up space (I have 20% free)
    - defragged my hard drive
    - updated my display driver
    - tried various screen resolutions and refresh rates of my display
    Specs of my machine:
    Dell Optiplex GX620
    Pentium 4 3.00 Ghz CPU
    80 GB Hard drive
    4 GB RAM
    Windows XP SP3
    Dell 1907ftp LCD monitor
    IE ver. 6.0.2900
    McAfee 3.6.0.608 virus checking
    Can anyone help?

    One thing that is missing from your list of system components is the video card used on your system. And that may be the source of your problems. In general, though, we are not aware of any video problems particular to InDesign 6 as opposed to InDesign 4 which you previously had installed.
    Many low-end computers from Dell and others take the low cost route by integrating a graphics display chip, typically from Intel, on the motherboard which does not have its own dedicated graphics memory. It shares memory with Windows. This has several ramifications (pun not really intended, sorry!). The first is that using main memory as video memory means that you have very slow video memory, very much slower than the memory on dedicated graphics cards. The second is that access to that memory competes with disk operations, CPU operations, and virtually everything and anything going on with your system. If in fact your system does have one of these integrated graphics chips in lieu of a real graphics card, there might not be much you can do assuming you have the latest video driver (you said you checked that) unless your Dell OptiPlex allows you to disable the motherboard integrated graphics chip and install a real video card. (To be completely fair, the integrated graphics display chips are perfectly fine for systems that are not running graphically intensive applications - Outlook, Word, and a web browser instance or two work quite well with those configurations.)
    Other things that I would check would be disk space as well as fragmentation. An 80GB disk is not that big these days and if most or much of the remaining free disk space is highly fragmented (as it might be after uninstalling CS2, installing CS4, and perhaps doing a whole bunch of Windows updates including SP3), disk operations, including page file operations, might be excrutiatingly slow.

  • Premiere cs4 Not Responding after a few mins use

    Hello,
    I have been using premiere cs4 to make stop motion videos for awhile on this computer and have started having problems with the software.
    Everytime I try to use it after a few mins sometimes 5 sometime less it goes white and says not responding resulting in having to close the program. Im starting to get late on deadlines and this is becoming a problem. Ive resorted to doing one step saving then having to close the program and repeat the process.
    My system...
    i5 750 OCed to 3.5ghz
    8gb 1600mhz ram
    I know its not the best but untill now its done this work for me fine. I am using stills at a res of 1920x1080 at 150 dpi and there are thousands of stills but again This is a new problem and I have been doing this for awhile with no issues.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    I did attempt a small batch sized as you stated but it did not help. It doesnt seem to matter what I'm working on within the program I could have no content and just click different menus and within mins the system will stop responding.  That being said the final video must be in 1080p.
    Here are the the items requested in the FAQ given.
    i5 750 OCed to 3.5ghz also tried stock clock settings.
    8gbs 1600mhz ram
    2 hhd set up as follows
    500gb 7400rpm hdd, program Pagefile, Media cache
    1tb 7400rpm hdd, media, project file, previews
    4gb virtual page file
    win 7 fully updated
    premiere pro fully updated
    No Audio used
    Ive tried various file sizes and settings to match those files all with same result.
    As I state above the actual conent size, type and quantity doesnt seem to matter 3-5 mins in and it just stops responding.
    Things ive tried so far.
    I did extensive mem tests on my ram with no issues
    reverted my over clock to stock settings
    reinstall the software several times.
    Also of note my ram never goes over 50% usage so Im not using all my ram.
    I hope this helps i tried to include everything mentioned on the listed FAQ

  • Rendering Freeze in Premiere CS4

    I had a DV 24P project go into what I call "rendering freeze" - it opens up the render box, but then does nothing. It will simply sit there for hours if I let it, but I can escape out of it at any time. The project was a CS3 import that is 95% done, and my deadline isn't until March, so I set it aside for more pressing work. I'm on Vista Ultimate and CS4 has been rock solid for me on multiple projects, from scratch and CS3 imports.
    (under "render details" it shows the start time correctly, but both the "time elapsed" and "free disk space" fields are blank)
    Tonight I started a new 1080 HD1080P 24 project, and a few renders into it the same thing happened. I thought this would be a good opportunity for troubleshooting, since I had little time invested into the project.
    I tried deleting effects, tracks, then assets, and finally everything to see if I could get a render to work. Dead. I tried opening a new sequence and importing a simple jpg as an asset. Same problem. I tried it over again using DV and other sequence timelines to see if it was format dependent. The freeze seemed to be project independent.
    I started over with a new project using the same format, assets, and effect, duplicating the same steps as as closely as possible, and rendering continues to work fine - and I'm much further into the project. This has me scared to death that my DV project (the one that is 95% done) is nearly useless (the 5% left to do is all detail work and must be rendered to check edits).
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    I hope you've found the answer already, but it sound exactly what I've run into.
    My problem was that I upgraded from CS2 and then removed the suite once CS4 was running.
    If you have done the same thing, simply reinstall Premiere CS4 and it will work as it did for me.
    If not, I don't know what to tell you.

  • Premiere CS4 and Lagarith Codec Issue !

    Gentlemen !
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Premiere CS4
    6GB Ram
    I was working on a project using 720P footage and finished the project, then I sent it to AME to encode the output file to Windows AVI using lagarith Codec.
    The final output AVI video plays perfect on my PC but when I took it to our satellite channel , we were getting the error code something like "Codec missing or needed to play this file "
    I guess they try to download the Lagarith Codec , but for reason still didn't work and was displaying the same error.
    Do you have any idea , which codec I can use , which can be more standard so their system can play it .
    I was asked to provide them with .Mov (Quicktime) or Windows AVI file type !
    Thanks !!

    Ok Thanks again Benn !
    Well, here is the situation.
    My footage is HD 720p
    My project and sequence settings match my source footage perfectly
    I rendered my song for 2 different formats, once I rendered it for YouTube, which I used a YT preset from AME, and it plays perfect.
    Now I have to have another version of this song in SD format, it could be Quicktime or Microsoft- Windows AVI.
    I tried Miacrosoft AVI, the audio plays fine but the video is in Slow Motion, also out of sync with audio...
    I tried Windows media , but the fina videol size is only 59MB
    Any Help will be Appreciated !

  • The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

    A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last week

    Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
    If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
    If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
    It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

  • What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

    What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues.  I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out.  Thanks for your assistance.

    Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422.   You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal.  This workflow will require much more drive space.

  • Using a plugin that only works with CS3 (how to downgrade CS4 to CS3)

    I work for a company that sells HP Indigo Presses
    HP have produced a plugin called Smartstream Designer which is used to create varible data jobs for the press
    Unfortunately at the moment, this plugin only works with Indesign CS3
    I have a number of customers who have recently purchased new Apple macintosh computers and the latest version of Indesign (ie CS4)
    (1) Is there any way for them to downgrade their copy of Indesign so they can use this plugin
    At some time in the future the plugin will be updated to work with CS4 and when that happens they will need to upgrade
    (2) will there be any problem performing this upgrade at a later date?
    thanks for your help

    The only way to downgrade would be to find a CS3 license on the open market, an iffy proposition as authorized resellers no longer have older versions available. The CS4 license would still be fine in the future.

  • How to use VST Plugins from Premiere Pro CS5 in Adobe Audition 3.0 ?

    I have tried to use VST plugins from Premiere Pro CS5 into Adobe Audition 3.0, but could not use it.Is any method to use them ?

    Unless I'm mistaken, you can't do this at all - Adobe lock all their VST effects so that they only work with the app they were intended for. Which also means, of course, that you can't use Audition VST plugins with any other software either. Since Audition isn't currently in the CS, there isn't even an exception there, I suspect.
