Premiere Cs5.5 Render time Takkeees tooo Looonnng

[jan meric]

Can anyone tell me what is the best setting to export from Premiere Pro 5.5, cause the way I am doing it takes too long for 1minute of edit to render out takes about 45minutes is this normal or is there a better way that I dont know?

any help will be appreciated.

Seems a lot of time
On my macbook pro, with 4k hd with chromakey filter and reducing size to 1280, i need 20x the time of the movie for the render

Hi John,

We'll probably need some more information from you to be able to help. For example, what sort of footage are you working with, what resolution is it, what sort of timeline are you exporting on, what effects do you have applied to your clips, what are the specs of the system you are editing on, what format are you exporting too, what codec are you using within that format, what resolution are you exporting to, and what export settings do you have set up?

All of these things will affect your export time and without info on them, it will make it hard for us to diagnose where the issue lies - or if there is an issue at all :)

I work on mostly 4k HD 24fps, I use premiere pro and the timeline i edit on is 4k HD, my playback setting is at 1/8 resolution, I use simple effects just a basic color correction, my specs are 2.8GHz intel core 2 duo, 4gb 800mhz, version 10.6.8 Mac Os x, I am exporting out to H2.64 and in that codec I use appleproress 422, I am exporting to HDV 1080 24p.

My system is i7 quad core at 2,3, with 8G of RAM, and i need x20 with the reel time for encoding with filters. All core work at 100%, so, with half that power, you get x40 the reel time. It seems OK. You need a more powerful computer.

I tin perhaps one can export using the previews or something to get realy fast rendering times?
I would not do this for a final export but for screenings it might be ok.

No expert here...but i see a GROWING number of posts like this....i too am seeing long encode times....That said, i get WAY better performance in CS 6.0 AND using AME instead of exporting direct from Pr.Pro---i use Queue---then it gets sent to AME...where i seem to notice about 75% better speed--well can't really say that since I've never finished an encode there, bu when i send my 52min timeline through PrPro it tells me 50 to 52 hours....then via AME it tells me 20 and up to 32, but actually takes 24.3 hours....this i know since i've rendered it out 4x....So....try AME in 5.5 and then maybe try it in CS 6.0 with a trial....i think adobe has boosted performance in the CS 6 for this...not sure how, but whatever technician sneezed on the code--it works better for me. But still LOUSY times....for me with all the bells and whistles Quadro 4000 card and RR card and still seeing 26 to 1 encode times i think is not something to sing about. So what you are saying seems to be what i hear.....

In the export window on Premiere, make sure you uncheck the "Render using Maximum Quality" button near the bottom. Doesn't really do anything... That helps speed up render times for me.

MaxQuality helps titles, or fake digital zooms.

Max Quality definitely helps with titles, graphics and footage. It's a big difference in my tests. Without it, titles and graphics get the jaggies on edges and footage looks significantly softer. Max quality probably doubles render time but to me it's absolutely necessary for rendering out final encodes.
