Sick of "Rendering Required Files" to Play. Want 1x scrub.

Multi-cam project. Very large.
I can get some work done when I focus on a single sequence, and keep working at it.
But bouncing between sequences results in "Rendering Required Files" and multi-hour delays to be able to hit play.
Scrubbing works well enough... audio skips a bit but I can easily make out what is being said.
How can I treat scrubbing as Play? A 1x scrub button? Can a macro be set up if it doesn't already exist?
I hit spacebar when walking away from computer, and hopefully enjoy pre-rendered audio next work session. But I need a way to work without waiting for an audio render to complete. I move between sequences all the time, and currently am not seeing a productive workflow.
Could someone explain how I can use scrub in a more user-friendly fashion, without it being so dependent on my current zoom level?
Thanks, -g

I've already submitted one (Jan 18 never heard back). I was hoping there was a work-around someone knew about.
Here's my request copy/paste.
Title:
Immediate ability to edit multi-camera scene without need to pre-process audio.
How:
To play a scene that I'm working on, often it is necessary to pre-render audio. If the scene consists of multi-camera & multi-audio source with many cameras, this can take hours (on IMHO decent hardware).
But, if I simply want to scrub the timeline, Premiere is capable of emitting audio indicating how the timeline sounds at that moment.
I need some IMMEDIATE ability between the two... it need not sound any better than scrubbing... maybe the audio drops out or just doesn't sound quite right. But I need the ability to scrub/play at 1x speed without waiting hours for pre-render of audio.
Maybe pre-render can be temporarily disabled. Maybe it is a new type of "play". Maybe it is a scrub locked to 1x speed.
Why:
My project consists of ~50 lectures. Each lecture is multi-cam coverage with additional audio channels. To edit any individual lecture this is (barely) passable, so long as I'm not flipping between lectures which often requires a re-render of the pre-rendered audio.
But all these lectures are now to be used in a single timeline. I'd like to copy moments from individual lectures, but I can't review any edited lectures without re-rendering that audio. Even just to identify a snipped of audio... scrubbing is to hard to control speed to make the audio intelligible. Play almost always triggers audio pre-render taking ~1h.
So to skip thru various lectures looking for key moments is impractical.
As a work-around I'm using rendered MP4 and importing that, just so I can brainstorm final project easier. But I should really be able to easily pull from my edited lecture timelines, and so have access to multiple audio channels and camera angles right now. I only import rendered MP4 because I can't wait an hour just to identify and copy a 5s moment of audio.

  • CS6 Multicam "Rendering Required Files"

    Did a quick search for "rendering required files" and came up with a number of threads from early-mid 2011 regarding CS5 and 5.5 difficulty with PrPro stopping to render audio files when doing multicam edits. I never experienced that until CS6, and now it's happening frequently on a rather basic multicam edit (one HDV, one XDCam-EX, and one AVCHD, with an extra audio track).
    From what I've seen in previous threads, there never was a clear solution to the issue. Anybody shed any more light on it, now a year later with a new version of the software?
    Would I be better off to do a mix down of my four audio tracks before doing the multicam, and then nest that on track one and get rid of my other three original tracks?
    I'm running an i7-920 OC to 2.8GHz on an Asus P6T6 WS Revo with 24 GB of memory, an SSD OS/Programs, a three-disk RAID-5 Project files, a four-disk RAID-5 Data files, and a standalone 6GB/s SATA for scratch and previews, with a GTX-580 for two monitors and CUDA and a GTX-285 for preview/multicam monitor.

    This took me forever to figure out, but I think I have your answer.  When you play back multicam in premiere, it tries to mix all of the audio from your original sequence.  Even though all you hear is the audio from track 1 (at least this was the behavior in previous versions). 
    My fix for this was to delete all all of the audio clips (besides track 1) in the original nested sequence.  Since I use external audio, I just use the camera audio for syncing purposes anyway.  But that's pretty much what you'll want to do.  Mix down whatever audio you plan on actually using for your project and put that in the sequence with your multicam clip.  Or if you prefer, put it on track 1 of your nested sequence. 
    Also, you'll want to unlink the audio and video from your multicam clip, and delete any cuts you've made to the audio.  For some reason, edits to the audio clip also cause the "rendering required files" error.  So just delete all of the many audio "clips" you've made throughout the process of editiing your video, saving just one to drag out to the end of your video.  This way you'll only have one long audio clip spanning the entire length of your video.  Bam.  No more rendering required files.

  • "Rendering Required Files" - huh?

    I'm editing a sequence with a couple of nested sequences and a multicamera edit.  Suddenly I'm encountering huge delays when PP RANDOMLY decides it needs to do some rendering. I (seemingly at random) get the message "Rendering Required Files" and then I have to wait for minutes to do anything!
    • There are no compilicated effects in any of the sequences.
    • There are only a few tracks in the master sequence, and only one or two tracks of audio and/or video in the prior sequences.
    • I have a dual quad core MacPro with 16GB of RAM.
    • I have 4x1TB hard drives.
    I can not for the life of me understand why it needs to render anything.  I get the feeling this has to do with audio, but I can not pin this down.  Can anybody explain what the heck the program is rendering so I can figure out a workaround?????

    Not that I'm too much into the "me too" kind of reply, but I just wanted to add my data into this thread in hope for an eventual fix.
    I'm using the PC version (CS5.5) with all the latest updates, on an Intel i7 (4 cores +HT), 24 GB RAM, 2 nVidia GTX470 (sli), a SolidState drive for OS and Apps, and 4x 2TB disks in RAID10 configuration for my data. I think the PC's performance should be more than adequate.
    My projet seems similar to what other users have been describing. I have a first sequence on which I have laid 2 video tracks and 2 additional audio tracks. No video effect has been applied. As for audio effect, I have applied EQ and Dynamics on 2 of the tracks (not on the clips themselves). Ultimately, I ended up muting 3 of the audio tracks. Therefore, only 1 audio track ends up in my mix. The audio clip is an uncompressed mono WAV file which was generated by Audition (44.1kHz, 16bits).
    On a second sequence, I laid the the video and audio parts of Sequence1 as two seperate clips, so they are completely unlinked. I have set the video clip to MULTI CAM. The audio clip having been laid on the sequence seperately is not influenced at by any of my video edits and camera changes. I have used this approach after reading other users' input on this thread.
    When the dreaded "Rendering Required Files..." poped up, I did a couple of UNDO/REDO in order to pin point the exact operation after which the problem occurs. It happened right after I used the Razor Tool to cut my audio clip. At this point, I haven't move my clips' begin and end points. I only applied a cut somewhere in the middle of the audio clip and left it untouch. I can undo that cut and the problem dissapears. But as soon as I cut my clip again, I can no longer play my Sequence #2 without the "Rendering Required Files..." window poping up. I have several hours of video to edit. This happened at 35 minute into the sequence. I can't afford the time to wait for all the rendering to take place, only to end up in the same position where the application will not remember the render it just did.
    Interestingly, I can play Sequence #1 with no problem. On Sequence #2, the problem persits even if I mute (click the speaker and eye icons) all audio and video tracks. I tried selecting a limited work area, even a blank are with no audio nor video, and I still have the problem when I hit the enter (preview) key.
    Also, there's a yellow line on top of my timeline (both sequences) meaning Premiere should attempt to render the sequence on the fly.

  • Rendering Required Files CS5

    This is driving me nuts... I have the read the other posts bit cannot fix it. I have a multicam sequence completely built with music, graphic, etc... for whatever reason, today, I am getting this pop up "Rendering Required Files" every time I hit space bar. I am using Windows 7, 2.8Ghz.
    The mutlicam sequence was made up of two cameras and one channel of audio. I first synced them up (two video tracks and one audio track), then put in another sequence for multicam editing. After everything was switched back n forth between cameras, I added all my graphic elements, transitions, credits, etc.. I am almost finished with the edit, but now I get this pop up constantly.... Argh. I cannot go back but am I hoping someone can instruct me on what to do to get rid of this pop up...Thanks!

    I think you should wait for a bit when the "Rendering Required Files" pops up, it might just be doing what it says.

  • Rendering Required Files pins single CPU core

    A feature request has been submitted. I'm posting to forum so to show screen-cap of unbalanced CPU load. With CC 7.1.0 it can sit like this for an hour. Better than CS6, it used to take a full day.
    Happens when switching to a not-recently-played sequence. Please parallelize it to use multiple cores, so I don't have to wait as long.
    This is important because it is still one of the biggest bottlenecks. I have a very fast system. 64GB RAM. Lots of cache space on drives. I can't throw money at this problem, only Adobe can solve it.
    Am posting this right now becuase... I'm waiting on PPro. Guess it is the best use of my time?

    PPro preforms really well for me (generally). This is the moment when PPro is presumeably rendering audio? Next time it comes up I'll just try copying the sequence and deleting all the video content from the sequence leaving audio.
    I don't think it is an effect. Just something to do with having audio ready to play when I hit spacebar. But I'll confirm this by purging the video component.

  • "rendeing required files" and then error

    After I almost finished edit a short movie (in 5.1 surround) the PPro CS4 (4.0.1) showed me the massage "rendering required files" (i guess it rendered the sound because the video already been rendered) but before playing it, the program closed and show me "there was an error, would you like to send it to adobe" (or something like that).
    Now... I really in a hurry with this project, and i can't even play it on my PC, so i even won't try to export it :(
    I tried to change the "strech audio files" library, but after start to render the audio files i got the same error massage and i was asked if to send it to adobe.
    What should i do now?

  • AE CS5 only see black when playing a rendered mov file in QT

    AE CS5 Mac 10.6:  After rendering a movie as Render:Best Settings / Output:Lossless I get an mov file (quite large, 193MB) - awesome thats what needs to happen.  Now upon viewing that mov file within QT, I get the timer (8 seconds) and the playhead scrolls those 8 seconds, yet I see nothing - only darkness and utter black.  Now on the flip:  when I render this same file as Best Settings / H.264 and play the mp4 wha lah you get a smooth playing video.  Downside, this file needs to be uncompressed and at the highest quality and playable in QT (a mov).  Is the file too large for my machine to handle playing?  Is this another QT vs AE bug?  Anyone please, input is as alway greatly appreciated.  Oh, 1 more piece of the puzzle: Pixel Aspect Ratio: D1/DV NTSC Widesceen (1.21).  This is a file to be played on an LED arena ribbon...
    Thanks

    >  Is there a codec missing from my AE?
    That wouldn't cause the file to play fine in some places and not elsewhere.
    This is a gigantic file in terms of horizontal pixel dimensions, and the data rate is quite large, too (nearly 200MB for only 8 seconds). I suspect some combination of QuickTime Player and the computer on which you're trying to play it (e.g., slow hard disks).
    Does it really matter whether this can play in QuickTime Player? We've seen that it plays in post-production software. Has the client tried playing it in the way that it will actually be played/used---i.e., on the LED screen at the arena?
    And, again, are you and they really sure that this huge losslessly compressed format is what is required? As I said before, this is very much not the kind of format that is intended for playback and distribution. Uncompressed files and files compressed with Animation are intended for purposes like use as intermediate files in post-production, not playback.

  • I have logitech webcam exe files that I want to play on mac 10.8.2  Are there conversions to accomplish this?

    I have old logitech webcam exe files that I want to play on Mac 10.8.2. How do I make conversions to accomplish this.

    My son suggested a fix that worked for me.  I was trying to convert some videos taken 10 years ago using a Logitech Quickcam.  The videos were saved as video email player which made them exe files.  The fix is to use a screen capture program (we used Bandicam) to capture the video while playing the video file.  Had to save them as WMV files which I then converted to M4V files to play on my MAC.  I could size the capture window which made it a perfect fit to the video.  It turned out great as I now can play those videos in Windows Media Player, and Quick Time.  I am no longer in danger of loosing precious family videos.  Thank you for all your help.

  • Want FLV file to play on a web page without a player.  See my example

    I need to play a FLV file on a web page, but I don't want it playing in a visible player.  That is I don't want there to be the usual Play button and no frame.  I want it to work and look much like this link:
    http://www.personal-injury-attorney-los-angeles.com/
    It is similar to those infamous "Mac vs PC" videos which occasionally play on the home page of NYtimes.com.
    My flash ability in this area is limited. (I'm a Joomla pro but not a flash pro.)
    Looking at the source code, I see various swf controller file links, and some javascript, I think.  I have no idea what is in the swf files that may or may not be making it all work.
    First of all I don't even know if it is possible for a FLV file to play above html and then disappear revealing the html when it is finished playing.  I assume with the swf and javascript and divs this is possible, but am not sure.
    Ideally I would love the complete code if possible.  Or links to where I can find out how to do it.
    Need clarification?  Just let me know!
    Thanks
    Rowby

    it's possible.  but you have quite a lot to learn or you should hire someone.  it's unlikely you'll find someone to do all that gratis.
    if you want to learn, check the video class.  it will let you play the flv file without a skin.
    you can also use the flvplayback component with no skin.  that will add to your swf's file size with no benefit except it's easier to use than the video class.
    the floating and disappearing can all be done with divs.

  • Ipod cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found

    Up until recently, the only thing there was wrong with my Ipod was the occasionally "100% freeze that only could be solved by draining the Ipod from battery", which it did less than three times a month. Then this sunday, when I was going to work (nightshift) I took the bus as usually, and listened to music on my Ipod for about half an hour.
    I hear music and podcasts from my ipod when I work, I connect my ipod to a jackstick and connect it to the radio of the wagon I drive around in. And then it started acting weird. The sound seemed to freeze up, but after 1 min or so, it played a fraction of a second and seemed to freeze up again. So I held down the toggle button and menu button, which did restart it as it should.
    I chose the same podcast and it started playing as if nothing were wrong. But then it did the same thing, and on the display where the name etc. of the item I was playing were supposed to slide from one side of the ipod to the other, was moving a bit and then coming to a complete stop, and then it would move a bit again.
    So I drained it from battery, and recharged it, when I got home from work. When I woke up I tried to play the same podcast, without listening to it, though, it did play, but the timer moved awkwardly, the seconds moved in a funny way.
    Then I tried using the restore function, in Itunes, thinking it would perhaps erase some bad software and installing it all over. But now When I try to synchronize the ipod with my itunes library, it synchronizes a few songs and then the red circle that comes with 'do not disconnect' disappears from the ipod and itunes says "the ipod 'name of ipod' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
    After that the picture with the red circle and the'do not disconnect' freezes up, and the only way to turn it back on is to hold down the menu and toggle buttons, as if trying to get the ipod to go into disk mode. Also, Itunes can't see the ipod anymore.
    I went to the shop yesterday and said there was something wrong with it prior to my restoring it, but the guy in the shop made it sound like it was my fault for pressing the restore button, and that it would most likely start working if the software on it were updated.
    The software on my ipod is up to date, and I've tried removing and reinstalling the newest version og Itunes.
    I'm sorry for the wall of text that just hit you headon, but I hope that telling all the details might shed some light on my problem.
    I hope someone out there can help me, or refer me to another topic with a solution. I just realized how addicted I am to that little piece of hardware.
    Thanks in advance

    UPDATE:
    I've just made an interesting discovery (at least I'd like to think so myself:).
    When I got home from the gym today I plugged my ipod in the computer to recharge the battery (I had without any incidents heard around 60 songs). When Itunes detected my ipod it didn't recognise the library on my ipod and it wanted to restore the ipod and copy it's current library onto the ipod. Fine, I thought since it's completely indifferent. Only Itunes started with error 69 again.
    So I thought, to heck with it.
    I deleted my library 100 %, and I've just finished the hard work of sorting out my new library and my new playlists. I only added music, about 1600 tracks and synced - WITHOUT any errors occuring. I tried then to add the podcasts, of which there are 61 and Itunes was able to sync 55 of these before getting the error 69, the last 5 being podcasts of older date, which it hasn't had any problems with earlier.
    So right now, I'm thinking can the podcasts interfere with me syncing songs? or something far out like that?
    btw. itunes recognises the library on the ipod, so I don't think that's a problem anymore.
