Slow export issue to 8bit uncompressed with a particular timeline.

I have one particular project (<5 min duration) that just takes forever (3+hours) to export to an uncompressed 8bit NTSC QT movie, whether or not I make it a reference movie or self contained. It also takes a long time to render certain clips within the movie.
If I export the same timeline using "current settings" instead of the 8bit uncompressed it exports in a matter of 3 minutes.
I have no such slowness issues exporting other projects to 8bit uncompressed so I know it's not hardware limitations.
I'm guessing it's not bad render files on the presumption that QT would have been re-rendering everything to make the self contained uncompressed movie- hence my existing render files status wouldn't be a dependency of the process. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I did notice however that the opening bumper clip takes a long time to render.. like 2 full minutes and it's only about 5 seconds long. This was a .motn file originally. I've used the same clip in other projects without issue.. maybe it's become corrupt? I'll answer back if that was it. Not in the editing room at the moment- but just thought I'd ask in case these symptoms spark any obvious solutions.

You should render prior to export. Otherwise you end up with your system going thru the work to render, but afterwards, you don't have anything in your sequence rendered.
The presumption that QT would have been re-rendering everything to make the self contained uncompressed movie
Nope - it doesn't re-render unless it has to. Exporting in a format other than your timeline's format is a transcode. This does not require a re-render.
You should be using Export Using QuickTime Conversion to transcode. Export Quicktime Movie is meant to use Current Settings...

SSRS export to PDF errors out with one specific data set

I have a SSRS report that fails to export to a PDF file with a particular set of data. The PDF export works great with every other set of data that we have run through it. The suspect report/data can be viewed fine and exported to other formats
without issues.
It almost appears that the PDF export has issues with how the data falls on the page. If I change the top/bottom margin size, increase the length of the report by adding whitespace or increase/decrease the size of the header/footer, the report will
export to PDF without any issues.
We are currently using SQL Server 2008, SP3 CU12.
This is the error log that occurs for the export:

Hi GravityJunky,
Based on the error message, the object reference is not set to an instance, it is typically caused by one or more of the following reasons:
There are soft page breaks within empty lists in the report.
There are hidden groups within the report and you tried to export it to PDF.
There are text boxes with a width and/or height of zero in the report.
A text box is either hidden or the NoRows property is set to true.
A text box spans table cells where some cells have a collection of null values.
The report has static columns and/or rows and, in the Visibility properties, Hidden is set to true.
The report has static columns and/or rows and there are grand totals in the report.
The report has static column headings and, in the Visibility properties, Hidden is set to true.
The matrix report has multiple columns and rows and, in the Visibility properties, Hidden is set to true and you tried to export to PDF.
To troubleshoot the problem, please refer to the following steps:
Review the specific error contained within the message and then, depending on the message, review your report.
If the problem is related to soft page break issues, try increasing the page height, reducing the first row height, or reducing the number of header rows.
If the problem is related to errors when rounding the image size up or down, try slightly increasing the page header height so that it is different than the image height, or try changing the image size to fit better.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

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,
Hunt

Action batch export issue with image trace

So, currently I'm working on batch processing jpeg sequences using illustrator's image trace and distortion effects. I have batch exported the image traces of the sequences via Adobe bridge. Now I'm trying to create an action which opens the .ai files containing those image traces, apply a graphic style to the trace, and export a png from that. I'm banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work right now. If I do the steps (step by step... not using a recorded action) I want on a single file, it works great, but the moment I batch export using the action I've created, it puts the original .png image that the image trace was linked to, on top of the image. The result is a bunch of .png exports that look exactly like my original image sequence. If I add a "save" function to the action and open the resulting .ai files, I can see that the image trace vectors are in the file. The "linked png" however visible on the layer above those vectors. Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? How do I get rid of that pesky linked image.
Also, for anyone who might be thinking that it has something to do with expanding the image trace before applying effects, this issue I'm running into, I've determined, is happening higher up in the hierarchy of the actions... If I simply make an action to open the image trace illustrator file and save it back out, the same issue occurs... placing the .png "linked file" on top of the vector image.
While I'm at it, I might as well ask if anyone knows how to change the illustrator default image trace preset.... Without being able to change it, or much less specify in the action sequence that I'd like to use a user created image trace preset rather than the default setting, it's greatly overcomplicating my workflow. Makes what could easily be one-step batch processing into two. Seems pretty silly if you ask me.
Please, if you guys have any insights on this, let me know. It's super frustrating... By the way, if you're wondering what type of effect I'm going for, the idea (as well as some explanation into their own process) starts at 12:44 of this video (http://vimeo.com/77427470).
THANKS!

Just wanted to let you guys know, for anyone who might be having my same issue... My home computer, even after a fresh install of Illustrator, was still placing the linked jpeg over the traced vector shapes when batch exporting... I did however find a workaround. Rather than using Bridge CS6 for the batch image tracing, I used Bridge CS5 to trace in Illustrator CS5. Then, I used Illustrator CS6 to batch export an action that imported and applied an effect to those image traced sequences. When you do this, it forces you to expand the tracing on import (because of the difference in Illustrator versions I'm assuming). This way, when you batch run the action, it's already working with expanded vector shapes. Not sure why this works, but it does.
Also, I was having some issues getting Illustrator to apply the graphic style when batch exporting. I got it to work by copying an object with that particular graphic style to the clipboard, then adding in the action I was running a "paste" command, followed by a "clear" command. I can only assume that Illustrator was having issues loading custom graphics styles while batch exporting. The paste/delete technique is annoying, but gets it done.
Anyways. Just wanted to check in on this one. I'm happy I was able to muscle my way through it all.

French guy have exportation issue with AE CS5

Hello,
First, I'm French. My English is bad. I'm sorry.
So I am currently editing a documentary on Final Cut Pro 7.0.3
I work on Mac OS X Version 10.6.7
Processor: 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 16GB DDR3 1066 MHz
I shot with a Canon XF105.
I exported some shots that I wanted to edit or where I wanted to add animation (type banner presentation)
I have exported quicktime sequence for later import to After Effects CS5.
And when I have finished and I have exported those shots from After Effects, I find myself quite often with images that bug, much like when you re-record on a videotape at the time of VCRs.
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/849/capturedcran20120507120.png/
I export in optimal rendering parameters, with the Quicktime Animation codec.
I really do not understand what the problem is due, I've never met before.
If you could help me, it would be great, because my deadline is approaching and I'm running out of ideas ...
Thank you in advance for your help!

The regularity of the patterns would suggest that these are decode errors in the MPEG stream, possibly a timecode issue. Can you open your footage natively in AE? Do you see the same artifacts then? Also what if you try other CoDecs like PNG or ProRes? In any case, double-check your framerate and export settings.

Lightroom 3 exporting issue: exported JPGs come out with much more noise than original edited files

Hi all,
My first post here so nice to meet everyone. I've been having some issues with exporting in Lightroom recently. It appeared to happen quite out of the blue. Sometimes when I export my edited .cr2 files as jpgs (in srgb), at a good quality (no less than 85), some of resulting jpgs seem to have exposure higher and/or a horribly large increase in the amount of visable noise. It seems many of the photos which this occurs in have pretty high settings for fill light, but even still, the noise is not visable in lightroom while editing the metadata linked .cr2.
I thought it might be the problem that I'm viewing the final exported jpgs in preview, but I also tried adding them back into the catalog and they look just as off. I just upgraded to 3.3, but it seems to be having the same issue. If anyone can please help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

No sharpening at all during my export, Ian. Sometimes I sharpen for screen at a standard strength, but I turned it off when I started seeing the extra artifacts but the results of the exports remains basically the same with or without sharpening.
However when I import it seems my photos already have some sharpening on them in the develop module. The settings there are sharpening = 25, radius = 1, Detail = 25, masking = 0. I honestly rarely mess with the sharpening, so I guess I skipped over those settings during the countless hours I have worked with LR! But I assume those are normal post import numbers, correct? I never apply development settings during import, that's why I say that. Thanks for keeping up the conversation and brainstorming Ian! Anyone else also free to chime in.

EPub export issues and e-book programs that work with it

Hey Ladies and Gents,
I'm working with my coworker on ePUBS for our company products but we're pretty much noobs when it comes to these. We've hit a few snags that I'm hoping someone on here might be able to clear up.
So far we've managed to export our white papers as fixed layout but when we open them up in adobe digital editions a lot of the text content seems to overlap like below:
We don't have that problem in reflowable layout but some of our anchored points and captions get misplaced (which is almost worse). Is there anyway to fix this issue in the settings with Fixed layout without having to switched over to reflowable?
We have them layed out for ipads and iphones. They include products photos/tables along with their descriptions.We primarily would love to have them up on iBooks and amazon for free for our clients to view.
Only thing is, we haven't found a good program to download/publish our ePUBS to the correct format they need.
Currently, Apple has seven approved iBookstore aggregators we've heard of that could work:
• BiblioCore—www.bibliocore.com
• BookBaby—www.bookbaby.com
• Constellation—www.perseusdigital.com
• INgrooves—www.ingrooves.com/digital-publishing
• Ingram—www.ingramcontent.com/apple
• Lulu—www.lulu.com/apple-ipad-publishing
• Smashwords—www.smashwords.com/about/how_to_publish_ipad_ebooks
However, Lulu is expensive and doesn't bring in photos. we've seen a program that does that for $800
BUT we're hoping for a cheaper route; That's not exactly in our budget. We don't know much about the other ones. I'm hoping someone on here could give us some good insight on what would be the best choice for publishing our books onto ibooks and amazon.
Thanks,
Kristen

I don't know what was running in the background that was causing InDesign to crash when I ran the epub export but now that I've restarted the machine (Windows 7) and restarted InDesign CS 5.5 the epub export works fine. Though I'm still noticing problems with both the TOC and Cover image being exported at the same time. When that is done the TOC is not incorporated into the epub. This isn't much of a concern at the moment since I can always use some freeware to add that in. I'm also puzzled that I can't add the author information in bridge. InDesign locks the epub up so that the author, title, etc can not be edited in bridge. But once again I can always use freeware to do this. Thanks for the help you two.

Exporting issues with Final Cut Pro X

I have been working on the project for a few weeks now and it's been working fine till today, Im trying to export several clips from the same footage that was divided into seperate project files and every time I try to share it gives me an error message with a frame number. I've seen other people are having the same issue but none of their solutions worked - the frame number is different everytime, I dissabled all effects and I tried copying and pasting the sequince into a new project file but that didn't work either.

i only can speek for my situation
PROCESSOR 2.7GHz Quad-core Intel Core i7
MEMORY 16GB 1600MHz DDR3L SDRAM
FLASH STORAGE 512GB Flash Storage & mavericks mit eingeschaltetem app nap
i do not have a bad frames within my original file or project and a new user account was also not necessary,
but deactivation of APP NAPP was at least 2 times a solution. under mavericks i could export for the first time with no error
thanks for the tip!!

TextFlow XML export issue with missing whitespaces

If I export a TextFlow into XML (with either TextFlowUtil or TextConverter) it will lose white spaces where they occur between elements, so that a subsequence import will yield different content from the original. A simple example being:
"Where is my white space". Will export and re-import to give: "Whereismywhitespace".
This happens in the XML build process because when a text node is programatically appended (with appendChild()) white spaces are stripped from the start and end. For example, if you do xml.appendChild(" hello ") you actually get an XML element containing just "hello".
Now I understand there is a directive (XML.ignoreWhiteSpace) to ignore or keep white space when parsing nodes already set in the XML, but I cannot see how to do this when you are building the XML from some data structure (like a TextFlow), or indeed when creating an XML object from a String that contains XML notation.
I am unaware how you can include surrounding whitespace in an XML node (short of CDATA). And the fact that the TextFlow XML import/export loses information seems to make it, well, pretty pointless.
So, how do I retain these white spaces in a TextFlow in an exported XML?

The solution for this problem consists of two parts.
First part is exporting the xml from the textflow, you want no formatted XML (with breaks, tabs, ...), but one long string with the spaces left like there were entered between the tags, this can be done with:
_textXML = TextConverter.export(EditorID.textFlow,TextConverter.TEXT_LAYOUT_FORMAT,ConversionType.STRING_TYPE) as String;
Use the TextConverter in stead of the TextFlowUtil.
Second part is back importing to textFlow:
There the solution mentioned above was correct.
XML.ignoreWhitespace = false;
var flowXML:XML = new XML(_textXML);
contentTLF = TextFlowUtil.importFromXML(flowXML,WhiteSpaceCollapse.PRESERVE);

Premiere Pro CC + Multichannel Audio Export issues?

Currently I need to deliver 6 Channels of 5.1 audio mixed needs to be paralled with film and add Closed Caption and export as QT (Pro Res 422(HQ) with 6 Channels of Audio).
When I Try to export from Premiere Pro CC, I was asked combine 1+2, 3+4, 5+6 and when I export get 7 Channels with 3 stereo pairs.
Is it not possible to export 6 Channels only export as individual tracks along with Video in a QuickTime Export. Also have option only to select 5 or 7 Channels rather than my 6 channels why?
Attached screenshot for reference.

I know this thread is old but I figured I'd answer anyway if anyone comes across this post with the same question.
Premiere Pro will still export 6 uncompressed channels of audio when you select 5.1.
It doesn't bother giving you the option for a 6 channel QT file because it is the same as 5.1.
I had the same issue a while ago where I wanted to export a ProRes HQ file with 6 channels of audio but instead of 5.1, it was Lt-Rt (1-2), M&E (3-4), SOT (5-6). I just selected 5.1 when exporting then configure the channels as mono in Quicktime 7 Pro. Works perfectly.

PP CS5.5 FLV To MP4 Export Issues / Problems

I just upgraded from Production Premium CS5 to CS5.5. I do a fair amount of converting/exporting of imported FLV files (downloaded from internet news sites) to H.264/AAC w/ MP4 wrappers using Premiere Pro (PP) and Adobe Media Encoder (AME). My equipment is a 1+ yr. old HP Win 7 Pro w/ an Intel i970 Quadcore, 12 Gb RAM and MSI nVidia GTX 470 GPU. I have never experienced any queue or export issues w/ CS5 (at least that I noticed), but I am experiencing noticeably degraded queue export and direct export problems with these files in CS5.5.
Description: (1) The queue export times for the exact same imported FLV clip(s) using the exact same sequence settings and H.264/MP4 export settings are noticeably slower in CS5.5 (sometimes 2x, depending on the export settings, e.g. using maximum render quality) than in CS5; (2) My MSI Afterburner GPU monitoring software indicates 5-10% GPU usage during queue/export in CS5, while indicating 0% GPU usage (flatline) in CS5.5; and (3) When I attempt to direct export these files using CS5.5 I get the following error message: "The source and output audio channels are not compatible or a conversion does not exist."
I suspect that it may have something to do with "conforming" anomalies when the FLV file is imported into PP, but I would put that squarely in the category of rank speculation on my part.
Has anyone experienced the same or similar problems or have any insight into what may be the problem(s)? Of course, thanks for any help/insight you can provide.
Jim

What do you mean by a better routine?
A better compression routine than H.264.
Is the quality better than H.264?
Yes.
Does this use an MOV wrapper?
Yes.
Also, would it import correctly into PPro?
Yes.
we would import files into PPro exported out of FCP and would get a red pixelated glitch during preview and export. Does this codec solve this problem as well if it is an MOV wrapper?
I don't know anything about FCP.
Sorry for all the questions, just want to get things right before diving into a new codec.
It's harmless, and free.
Download it and run some tests.

LR1.4 and LR2 - Rotate and redraws very slow - Quadro issue?

I have recently upgraded to Lightroom 2 on my brand new workstation, having used v1.4 on my old laptop for a while.
The workstation is a Dell Precision, dual quad-core (8 total) Xeon 2.5GHz, 8GB RAM, 15k rpm 300GB SAS disc, and an nVidia Quadro FX 1700, running XP x64 (64bit Lightroom installed).
The laptop was a single core 1.7GHz Pentium M, 2GB RAM, 5400 rpm disc with an ATI 9700 Mobility, running 32bit XP
Now all the CPU intensive activities are dramatically quicker, as I'd expect. Import, export, colour corrections etc are very quick. However, there seems to be a problem redrawing the screen. If I turn on pinstriping for the background colour and choose a new image, it takes a couple of seconds as the pin stripes fill in on one side of the photo and then the other, the drop shadow draws along the bottom, and then the photo slowly fills in from top to bottom. This was fine on my laptop.
Even with pinstriping off the drop shadow and photo draw take about 3/4 of a second to perform. Menus and pop ups don't fade properly, and stick over the top of the photos.
Also, if I try and rotate an image, I click and drag and it takes a good 2 seconds to perform the first rotation amendment, and only updates the image about once a second, making it very difficult to line things up correctly.
I also tested the trial of Lightroom 1.4 on a machine at work, an 8-core 4GB Boxx running XPx64 which also has a Quadro card (3500 I think), and noticed exactly the same issues with the pinstriping behaving slowly, but with colour correction being fast. I then tried 1.4 on my home workstation, and get the same result, so it is a problem in both versions.
Clearly I have left pinstripes off, but still get slow performance switching photos. Has anyone else experienced this?
Is this an issue with 64bit XP? My initial thought was that it must be a video driver issue, as it seems to be only the drawing of screen elements which is slow. A driver issue? An incompatibility with the range of cards? I updated from the installed drivers to the latest ones from nVidia (6.14.11.6996), and this seemed to make the photo a little redraw faster, but has done nothing for the rotate, nor dropshadow nor pinstripes. Is there a recommended driver version for Lightroom?
The result is that Lightroom feels slower to use on my new workstation than a 5 year old laptop.
Any help gratefully received.

The problem with rotating images remains. It is so slow as to be virtually unusable - slight changes are pretty much impossible to achieve as the feedback is so bad.
I have tried making all the changes to the nVidia settings as described in other posts and there is no difference to performance. I have also updated to the latest graphics drivers. Version 2.1 of Lightroom also makes no difference.
I installed Lightroom on my new laptop, which is a dual 2.1GHz with 2GB RAM, runs Vista32 and has onboard Intel graphics, and the rotate function is fluid and immediate, great to use. So
Does anyone else get this problem? Is anyone else using a Quadro FX 1700? I can find no other mention of this issue on the forums. Any other suggestions gratefully received - I'm getting so frustrated trying to use the software.

Excel 2007 and 2010 slow to save to network drive with Windows 7

I know this issue has been passed around and I know that there are some fixes out there. I will lay out my issue and resources, what I've tried and the things I've noticed.
I have a mix of Server 2003 32bit, 64 bit and 2008 64 bit. The desktop/laptop environment is mainly XP (no issues saving with an XP machine), a few Win 7 computers and a dozen thin clients running off the 2008 TS. The slow saving issue happens with either
a Win 7 machine or a client terminal served into 2008. It takes 60 seconds or more to save or "save as" an excel file to a network drive. Same thing happens with any Office product. No issue saving to the local machine. If you log into either 7 or
TS with the domain admin account, the saving takes no time at all. Only as a domain user does it hang.
I have tried the SMB2 trick, the 981711 hotfix, turning off indexing and starting the webclient service. I am probably forgetting a trick or two that I've seen online from various people having the same issue. Point is though, the issue remains and besides
being utterly annoying, it is preventing me from rolling Windows 7 out to my employees. Please Help. Thank you in advance for any advice posted

Hi,
Have you tried to create a new txt file with notepad to test this issue? If this issue also happens on .txt file, you should check your network.
And I suggest all users disable their anti-virus to see if the problem goes away.
There are other things to try if the problem is evident in all of the documents you open. When EXCEL is not running, make sure you delete all the temporary files that
EXCEL may have left lying around various folders in your system. Look for files that end with the TMP extension, or files that being with the tilde (~) character. If your file folders become very cluttered with these temporary files, it can slow EXCEL down
immensely.
Another thing to try is to start EXCEL with the
/a switch on the command line. This causes it to load without also loading different startup files such as add-ins and macros. If this fixes the problem, then you can bet that the slowdown is caused by one of those add-ins or macros.
You might also rename the Normal.dot (or Normal.dotm) file; if it is corrupted then it can slow down response times. (Renaming the file causes Word to create a clean,
fresh, empty one the next time you start the program.)

PDF Export Issue - content missing (Not background freeze issue)

Hi,
Currently having some issues with exporting PDF's from Indesign CS5. When I export the first page (which is based off a master page) the majority of the content gets cut off - so this is images, coloured boxes and strokes and a barcode.(Top Image)
When I cut the content from the master page and paste it onto a standard page, then it prints off ok (Bottom Image), but we can't realistically do this every single time. Its not only in one document that its happened - it has occured with several of our documents and across multiple computers.
I have checked the forum and troubleshooting, have gone through and done the troubleshooting based on document and application level to no help. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/499/cpsid_49998.html#main_DocumentLevel
I've read the different posts regarding background tasks which is not the issue as it is actually exporting it and its fine.
Have restarted the machine, double checked updates, checked whether its a damaged document (its not from what I can tell)
Tried exporting without images (Omit OPI) with same results.
Have checked out the transpency issue (as does contain some transparency but no results).
So thinking it must be something to do with the master pages but I have no idea what.
We were using an external plug in for the barcodes for CS4, that does not work for CS5 so I removed the barcode to see if that was affecting it but again no luck.
Just to confirm we're running
Adobe CS5 onto our computers - we've run all the the updates both for Adobe Acrobat Pro (9.4) and for all of the CS5.
Its being run on iMac 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS X 10.6.4
Adobe CS4 has been uninstalled and deregistered so no interference there.
Can anyone help me out here or recommend something?
Thanks in advance.

I've redrawn it all and placed in new images and now its starting to do weird stuff like make the images disappear as well as making part of the transparency 20% (as set by me) but then making another section of it 100%.(See below - top one is correct, bottom is incorrect). I would agree with you that it may just be an issue with the file, except its happening across multiple computers. There's not really any chance its a dud version of CS5 is there? Its all legit so no real reason why it wouldn't be.
Override Master Pages fixes it, but this is pretty disappointing if I need to have to do this every single time as it makes the master pages on half useful.
We do have CS3 actually and I opened it in that, exported it as a .inx but same issue with elements missing - the stroke around the outside disappeared.
Could it be anything to do with bringing across elements from Illustrator? Although the top element is appearing fine, and the bottom transparent element is a copied item so shouldn't be an issue. And the image disappearing - there's no real reason for that.

Ref movie slow export, like it is rendering

I have assembled some 640x480 Animation Codec clips in a 640x480 Animation Codec sequence. The goal is to export to QuickTime so that I can compress (and resize to 720x480) in Compressor and then add to a DVD Studio Pro project.
Some clips needed some help with speed changes and transitions, so I rendered all of that. In fact I selected all of the options in Sequence -> Render All... to be sure the sequence get entirely rendered and when I press Option-R. Pressing Option-R flashes the progress bar on and off to suggest the sequence is all rendered, nothing more to do. The places where there was red render bars now slows bluish render bars. That means rendered, right?
Yet when I export a video-only QuickTime reference movie, the progress seems to slow as it gets to the parts of the timeline where the blue render bars are, like it is rendering during the export. Why would it do this if I rendered everything first? In fact to prove that something is going on during the export, the reference movie is clearly not just a reference movie, the movie that is created in the end is over 14GB in size.
Any suggestions for how to set up sequence in a case like this, export the reference movie quickly and into a small file size (like you'd expect a ref movie to be)?

Slow export issue to 8bit uncompressed with a particular timeline.
