Vanishing Render Bar

Hi,
I'm having an issue where the render bar in Premiere Pro CS5.5(latest version) vanishes. Upon loading the project the render bar appears as normal, red, green and yellow bars. But when I try to render a portion of the sequence Premiere Pro begins to render then stops as if it has completed the rendering. This also results in the render bar vanishing.(see pic below) After this Premiere behaves as if the entire project is rendered. Pressing enter or trying to render the entire work area causes Premiere to immediately try and play the sequnce which is obviously choppy due to unrendered effects. I've tried removing all my render files manually and via the Premiere Pro interface, this does not work. I've also tried creating a blank project and importing the sequence I need, this does not work either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I had the same problem. It first occured when the project settings didn't match the footage I was using. So be sure to use the right project setting for your sequences.
I have just tested it by setting the right project settings for the footage. So perhaps you should check this out.
I am not completely sure, if I found the reason for this bug with the vanishing render bar, but you can give it a try.
Greeting
Nicolas

Colorista II showing red render bar in PP CC 2014

I am working a lot with the plugin Colorista II from Red Giant Software. I am using the latest version of PP CC, Nvidia and the plugin. Graphic card is GTX 970.
Everytime I am tweaking with the plugin the render bar turn red. That means no GPU acceleration? From my system or generally the plugin?

hmm shame, that's a mislead in my opinion then. Color correction shall always work that way.
Thanks for reply.

Riddle me this-. Orange Render bar for some clips

I hope my system isn't getting tired and old but I have never had a project where all the clips needs to be rendered. No effects applied or anything. I converted these clips to Apple Pro Res(LT) and I still need to render. When I convert my RED footage, it works fine. But not the MVI files. See picture on this link. The files have same codec, one needs to render but the other doesn't!

Thanks for you time or any solution you can give.
Things I did: Trash prefs, restart, video scope closed

The orange render bar-
"Indicates effects that exceed your computer’s real-time playback capabilities but are enabled anyway because Unlimited RT is selected in the RT pop-up menu in the Timeline. Unlimited real-time playback lets you play more effects but increases the chances that your sequence will drop frames during playback. This mode is useful for getting a real-time preview of complex effects compositions." - form the manual.
I interpet that it mean it will playback withourt requiring rendering until you apply an effect.
One of your clips is set to "maximum" quality with a higher bitirate than the one set to "Normal" quality. Not sure if that is causeing it.

Yellow render bar in Premiere Pro CS6

hey there,
quick specs:
HP Z820, 64GB RAM, NVidia quadro 6000 (alongside with a BlackMagic 3D extreme for monitoring), ext. SAS-RAID, Windows 7 64bit, Adobe PP CS6.
the issue is quite simple from the outside:
any codec i slam into a new sequence gives me yellow (render) bars.
doesn't matter if i customize the sequence or right click "new sequence from clip" (which i assume fits my sequence settings to my clip settings)
the only codec that doesn't give me yellow bars is mpeg2. (really..?!)
to check i turned the CUDA engine OFF - red bars immidiately.
and even with yellow bars (which PP should be able to play back at least i get the choppiest playback sometimes)..
but as you see it shouldn't be a hardware problem - so what am i doing wrong or didn't i get the idea of creating sequences?
any suggestion appreciated.

If the codec you use is not supported in a preset, you get the yellow bar. So what? If it plays fine, then there is nothing to worry about. With AVCHD 1080p/50 and 5.1 AC3 sound you get a yellow bar, so what? It plays fine.
hey harm,
"so what?" is not really a term that i often use. when i encounter a problem, i try to fix it or at least push as far as i can push to get the optimum under the given circumstances. "works anyway" doesn't really cut it for me.
i want to understand why there's the need to render despite the fact
- that all my hardware and software is supposed to eliminate exactly this
- that other companies solved this problem years ago
- that adobe promotes a product that should do the job, but obviously doesn't
and it actually does not playback fine. sometimes (=usually) the playback is choppy, sometimes the playhead jumps back to start without any reason and a few other problems i came across.
i understand that adobe PP is not in the game as long as AVID is for example, but they claim to have a professional product (at least the name suggests it but as far as i am concerned if you really put PP to the test it tends to bend and sometimes to break.
as much as i love dynamic link (main purchase reason) - i just can not run sensitive projects on it. or, before i do i need to understand why these things happen.
you totally don't have to but i hope you understand my position.

Orange render bar on native DV or DVCPRO HD footage in matching timelines

Okay, I've searching and calling people to figure this one out. I've captured DV footage, removed the pulldowns correctly to make it 24p, and I've used easy setup and checked my timeline settings. All correct and matching. So, why are the raw clips dropped onto the timeline presenting me with an orange render bar. This is happening with DVCPRO HD footage too. I don't remember this being an issue until updating to 5.1.3. I upgraded, so I have to downgrade to test my theory.
I have 5.0.4 still installed, so I tried it. Used XML to reopen project in 5.0.4, I have no such problems, no orange render line. What's the deal? Is 5.1.3-5.1.4 have to use core video or something that my graphic card in my old G4 tower can't handle?
Please somebody tell me this is happening to them too. It doesn't occur on my MacBook Pro, just my tower.
PPC G4 1.4Ghz, 1.5Gig RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Sorry, I didn't mention all that I tried. I did dump the prefs, still no use. I'm trying to find 5.1.2 right now, see if it did it. I don't remember an issue under 5.1.1 either.
This is very frustrating because it's supposed to be running natively on the media that FCP runs natively. Even the old versions work better at this. Not a problem if you're on an Intel box with the new stuff. Seems like it's purposely crippled.

Getting red render bar when editing HD multiclips

I'm editing a multiclip music video in Final Cut Pro 6.0.3. The sequence setting matches the size and frame rate of the footage, which is 1920 x 1080, 23.98 fps, using Apple ProRes 422 (HQ).
I have my multiclips all synched and when I put them in to the canvas to begin editing, I get the dreaded red render bar. I have never had this issue before when editing in SD. When I have "Unlimited RealTime" checked I get the yellow/orange bar.
Any advice on how to make this easier and flow faster?? My computer keeps crashing.
and I'm running MacOSX 10.5.2 on a Dual 2.5 GHz G5 with 1.5 GB DDR SDRAM.
Thanks in advance!

2 or 2.5 gigs of ram would help (IIRC, 2.5 is all FCP will utilitze).
We just had a thread about this issue on an iMac. You might want to review it...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9091740#9091740
Where is your media stored and how many streams in your multiclip. How is the media connected...FW400/800/eSata/RAID (internal/external)?
Increased ram may help, but I'm inclined to think you could be maxing out your drive throughput.

PP CS5 Wants to Render all my AVCHD (MTS Files) - RED RENDER BAR

Help Please,
I have a Panasonic AF100 and shooting in 1920 x 1080 25P (Australia)
When I create a new project with same settings (AVCHD, 1920 x 1080 25 Frames Per Second) and import footage (MTS Files) the entire sequence has a RED bar above each clip. I expected the footage to have Green or Yellow bars unless I apply an effect or transition??
Having to render EVERY clip in my sequence is driving me mad, I have not even applied any effects and just to watch, I need to render every clip..
I am using a Mac 27", 3.2 GHZ, Intel Core i3, 4GB Memory 1333 Mhz DDR3...
Help please, anyone??
thanks in advance

I have no render bar?

Hey everyone!
So I'm having quite a bad problem with Premiere Pro CS5. Sometimes when I preview the video for a project in progress, it lags a fair bit. I usually fix this by rendering the work area. But for this particular project, it won't do anything. When I tell it to render work area, it just plays the video. Also, I don't have a red, yellow or green render bar. It's just gray, as if it isn't there. What could be causing this? Can anyone help me? :c
Thanks for reading my post!

I fixed it. The problem was the frames per second in the source video. For some reason, there would be no render bar for videos with 30 frames per second. I converted the videos to 25 frames per second and the render bar came back. Changing the sequence settings to 25 frames per second also fixed the problem. Thanks for the help anyway!

Question on render bar color

I can't find this in the manual. What is the faded green-grey color signify in the render bar?
thanks, td

If you have Final Cut Pro 6, page III-645 explains the whole deal about the *render status bar* .
If you are running an earlier version, simply drop that term in search field and you'll find the relevant section.
Good luck,

Render bar | yellow | red | green

If i put a new clip to my sequence it shows me a yellow render bar which actually means, i should regive it without bucking or any problems. But even if i put effects on that clip, or an adjusment layer, the render bar wont get red. And if i render the yellow one, with the full effects on the clip, its not able to play it without bucking. So first i wont get any red render bars, secondly even the yellow is not playing without bucking

http://blogs.adobe.com/premierepro/2011/02/red-yellow-and-green-render-bars.html
Can you share your computer system specs, Premiere version, footage source format? Do you have GPU acceleration enabled? There are many factors affecting playback smoothness. Does the sequence preset match the footage? Mismatched frame rates are problematic for instance.

Yellow render bar

Hi all...
I received a miniDV tape that I need to edit in FCP. I imported it w/ NTSC settings and it said that the audio at a different setting than my setup (probably recorded at 12 bit instead of 16 bit...I don't know since I didn't shoot it), and that it might result in some shifting or the likes. Fine, I can deal with that later. So I click "continue" and it appears in the timeline. But there's a yellow render bar on the VIDEO line (just above the timeline), not the audio line. I check the setttings in the browser and they're the same as the sequence:
720x480, 29.97, DV/DVCPRO-NTSC compressor, 48 kHz, and it says 16-bit audio for my clip.
My question is, why is it telling me I need to render out video? When I play the clip, it gives me the dropped frames warning.
Thanks in advance. I'm sure there's an obvious answer I'm not seeing.
Jonathan

Thanks for the reply, David.
My RT is set to Unlimited, High and Full. I usually keep it set there unless I have some heavy effects that justify the need to render and it hasn't given me a problem yet. I also tried capturing another piece of vid (that I shot) and there's no yellow. Which makes me think it's the video (the one that I didn't shoot), not the program. I guess I'm still confused as to why the yellow then if the sequence and clip settings are the same. Am I missing something? Or will we never know unless we find out how it was shot?
Thanks for putting up with this!

Green render bar for video

hello all...
i believe i have all my sequence settings correct..but everytime i drop a clip into the timeline i get the video:preview (green render bar)...why do i get this???
all the video footage is on a g-raid 1000 gig (all filled up)..is that the problem...?

i believe i have all my sequence settings correct..but everytime i drop a clip into the timeline i get the video:preview (green render bar)...why do i get this???< </div>
The sequence settings might be correct for what you want to do but your clip settings are not matched to your sequence setting. Precisely. If they were, you would not get a green render bar. There would be NO render bar until you started adding effects.

"Blue-Grey" on video render bar..Why??

After I rendered my project I have noticed that there is a blue-grey color on my video render bar. If I put my cursor on the render bar it says that my video is rendered. Then why is it not just Grey?? When I play back my project the parts that have the blue-grey render bar are very unstable and digitized. Why is the project not rendering, and what does the blue-grey render bar mean??
any help or soulutions would be great

1) Because gray means a video clip that does not require rendering
2) Set RT for the Timeline to Safe, the Quality to High and the Frame Rate to Full. Does it still play back unstable on an NTSC video monitor?

Adobe ribbon vanished from bar in excel

Hope somebody can help me here.
I am running Adobe 9, standard version on vista.
I am also running MS Office 2007.
We have been using the Adobe ribbon, or the button on the top of our excel spreadsheets for months. It has been a breeze creating .PDF's from these excel spreadsheets.
But in the last few hours the ribbon or button is no longer on our spreadsheets. It has vanished into thin air and we can no longer create .PDF's. How do i get that button or ribbon back onto the top of our documents.
Thx in advance

angkearney,
Thank you for your posting b/c I experienced the same problem but found a solution.
Go to the link above and it will solve the problem.
The only caveat is that it was supposedly removed b/c it was causing problems for Excel.
What problems remains to be seen or known.

Render bar un-renders while it renders!

Hi, I am just starting to work with LiveType 2, but have run into a strange problem. On one of my files, as I play thru the timeline and the red line becomes green as the playhead moves, a little ahead on the timeline the green section turns red the the playhead moves. In other words, for every section I render, a corresponding section ahead of that becomes un-rendered. Makes it difficult to get anywhere.
Any advise? Thanks so much, Bob

That just indicates you're using up your RAM for a RAM preview. when you render to a movie that won't happen.
