Slow rendering in Premiere Pro CS4 (with a fast computer?)

Hello people on the Adobe Forums,.

I hope someone can help me with this issue, it has been bothering me a very long time now and this week I have to make a decision, or solve the problem and keep this configuration, or spend the money for a new processor (i5 750) and a new motherboard. But I think that this computer must do better, then he doesn't. I have the following configuration:

AMD Athlon X 2 4600 +

NVIDIA GeForce 7800GTX

2 x 1 GB memory OCZ (250 mhz, DDR, PC2400)

Storage disks:

Seagate 320 GB SATA (7200 RPM, I think)

WD 74 GB SATA (10,000 RPM, OPERATING SYSTEM)

Hitachi 500 GB SATA (7200 too, I think)

WD 1 TB (SATA) USB (hdd extern)

WD 250 GB SATA (7200 RPM, I think)

So I don't understand the problem, first is very slow on my computer... Rendering of a piece of 5 min of just a film randomly takes like 3 hours! Just now, I found some things that I shot with my cell phone, it like 10 sec 1 frame! On most pc with this vice versa!

So the cpu is not only the former and nor is the video card, meaby memory is a bit weak... Could it be the problem?

Hope that people can you help me, I searched Google and all but impossible to find someone with this problem...

Software list:


-Windows 7 complete edition

-Adobe Premiere Pro CS4

Drivers are, as far as I know, to date, I've updated Adobe programs also...

Describe the source material, Codec: XDCAM-EX (mp4) movie

But as I said, it happens too avi too, he thinks it was DivX...

I bought this used pc, so it could be that something in the processor is already broken and I don't notice all the... I searched like everywhere and also tried to reinstall the program, but that does not work either...

Marinus,

My compliments on the way in which you have documented your problem! Very, very good. I wish that more people would take your example.

Unfortunately, as you can see from the results PPBM4, your PC is a serious lack power. About 80 times slower than the top ensuring an and more specifically on the MPEG encoding. This means that, with your XDCAM, your machine hardware fights like h * l to get anything it to be delivered. Even with SD AVI material, it would be a struggle with these specifications.

The only solution I see is to get a new machine. To get a rough hint of what you face. Watch Adobe Forums: how to build PC? and realize that the version of the budget is the minimum for DV and HDV, possibly material from XDCAM-EX, but for AVCHD and DSLR equipment you would not drop below the economic model. In addition, if you go to the hyarware forum and press the "View" tab at the top of the page, there a dropdown menu with several items that might interest you. http://forums.Adobe.com/community/premiere/hardware_forum?view=discussions&start=0

BTW, on your new system you want to clean. With all the running processes, it adds to the burden and you could do with much less overhead.

  • Slow playback in Premiere Pro CS4 (how to reduce res preview?)

    Hi everyone, I was just wondering how to reduce the resolution of the reading/preview while3 editing in Premiere Pro CS4? I'm editing 720 p video (.mov format, that's what my camera takes pictures, so I don't think I can change that). All I see when I right click in the source monitor is "quality > high, rough, automatic. Is there anything else that I can choose? (kind of in aftermath, where you can set it to 1/2, 1/4, etc.). I searched the internet for the better part of the day and what I found is that 'quality' menu I mentioned earlier.

    It is always very slow to look on the 'project', and it doesn't look like it's much more of a difference in quality. Now, my laptop isn't exactly the rendered beast that I wish it were, but it can handle 720 p [slowly] in after effects so I think it should work first too.

    Thank you!

    PS: Anyone of you experts think it would be a good computer for NLE / rendering of effects?

    CS5 offers specific options like 1/2 and 1/4.  Earlier versions offered only full, project and Auto.

    A new computer is probably in order.  Your link isn't a bad option.  (Even if you need to add at least two drives more.)

  • Export of parameters (Premiere Pro CS4 with Matrox)

    Premiere Pro CS4

    Canon XHG1 camera (HDV/Mini-DV/NTSC)

    Card Matrox RT. X 2

    HP's Z800 with Intel Xeon 2.4 GHz, 12 GB of RAM and running Windows 7

    I have experience with digital video editing in first, export up to 40 minutes the videos (which took maybe 2 hours for export), but the last version I used was perhaps first 7 and I didn't have the Matrox card (and used a much less powerful than this computer). I used as just a level of consumption, not the big Canon camera. Now, I try to export the video and there are more choices that I had before, and it seems that the time estimated to export is quite high, despite a good machine and the Matrox card.

    So my question is, is there anywhere a chart that shows what settings to use for the particular output you are looking for? For example, what should I choose for the web that's enough quality but not a giant file? What should I choose if I want to make a DVD? Is it possible to export directly to a DVD, if you do not manipulate the video at all? I said, I should be able to use the Matrox card to reduce the time to export, but it seems that at least 5 times the length of the video export anything.

    I guess a question important here is: what is the normal amount of time I should expect something to take to the export? I have a 2 hour video that just needs to be transferred from mini DV tapes and engraved on a DVD - no necessary effect. Time to export the lowest estimate I can get is about 10 hours, and I don't know what that looks like in terms of quality when finished.

    In the future I'll do more often in short (2 minutes or less) video for the web, so time for export should be short, but I would still like to know what are the best settings and how much time it should take.

    I hope this makes sense - thanks for your help!

    The major bottleneck appears indeed disk I/O.Even if you have two physical disks in the system, Win7 consider them as a single disc, because they are attacked as a raid1. For performance optimal disc I suggest you to add at least two physical disks + 7200 RPM (so SAS or SATA, the latter cheaper, the first with a best performance), move the pagefile and projects and the cache of media in one of the discs and the other disk media. Which will improve your results significantly in my opinion.

    Then have a look at the two latest guides here, storage and tuning: How to get the best from a PC? Some guides...

    The setting guide was written for Vista, but the Blackviper site now also has a guide for Win7 services.

    I hope this helps.

    I can control the HVR M15U, see and hear the video playback, but when I click on the record button, the screen becomes a blue screen with the rules of the game on the video material (what?) text on the screen and no audio. I don't have the ability to detect scene. It records the audio and video in a long clip (blind faith just is the recording and I do not have something for the blind).

    I have an another editing system with Windows 7 64-bit CS4 Production Premium with a Matrox RT - X 2 card. When I connect the HVR-M15U to this system, I can see and hear the recording as it is captured, with scene detect the work.

    My goal is to make this new system works without a Matrox RT - X 2 card. Where can I change the settings in order to see and hear what is recorded? How can I also get the scene detection to work? I made the change of compatible host OHCI 1394 controller (legacy), but that has not changed anything.

    Are there settings to see and hear the video as it is registered?

    Use HDVSplit. Much better than the CS4 PR, offer scene detection, avoids errors OOS (out-of-sync), gives an extract and is free.

  • Rendering in Premiere Pro CS4?

    Hello guys!

    I don't know that this has been asked a million times before, but I swear to you that I did a search and couldn't find much.  I know that I can press 'Enter' and make a sequence so that it plays smoothly at first.  However, I still don't know how that affects the final result once I am ready to export my project.  In some discussions I've read, it was not clear weather return it applied to export final or not.  Is anyone know for sure?  It would be nice to be able to return as many times as needed inside the first and always export without loss of quality.  Thank you very much in advance!

    Jose

    In the timeline panel is to view your timeline.  It does not affect your final result.

    Note: you can use return it during the export if you wish. Its option in the SOUL

    BTW - made repeated the chronology does not create a generational loss (in case you thought so) but sometimes it's good to remove Renders (also an option in the Menu of the BODY)

  • Import. AVI with Premiere Pro CS4

    Hello

    I am trying to edit a video that I got from my digital SLR. It is in. AVI format.

    When I import it into Premiere Pro CS4 and tried to play. I can hear the audio, but the video does not play.

    I tried to install K-Lite Codec Pack but still the same.

    I used Gspot and it is said that codecs are installed.

    Hope someone can help out me.

    Have an installed CODEC is no guarantee that it can use to change an NLE program. This ARTICLE goes into detail.

    As John T., two popular versions of the MJPEG CODEC are the Morgan, or the MainConcept, but your DSLR could have come up with exactly what you need - but you may need to look on the included DVD. Camera mfgrs. Tweak often their particular and especially with the MJPEG CODEC CODEC. Who should be included, but it could be a separate facility, it can install with the driver for the camera or it could install with editing/organizing software. See this ARTICLE for a little more detail.

  • Premiere Pro CS4 hungs on importing or opening files

    Hello!

    I have a serious problem with Premiere Pro CS4. I have install on Windows 8, everything goes well. I create the first project and import mov files. First time I tried h284 Canon DSLR raw file. He played really bad. Secondly, I try AVID DNxHD mov, plays too slow, but everything is normal. But shortly after the first absolutely freezing. I restart, try to import the file or open the project with imported files (no matter what codec it is), it freezes again as before. And nothing helped. I tried to reinstall it about 5 times, it has no effect. What is c? Please, help me!

    P.S. I don't know it worked on Windows 7 with MOV of the Canon camera, but I was working with other codecs.

    Update. I found this problem described appears only with files DNxHD. regular H.284 causes different problem - during the first window loses focus (when I go to explorer, for example) first crashes, it's the window disappears and only strange red line stays on the screen. WTF?...

    I just installed Premiere Pro CS4. I used CS3 without any problems. In the editing window, I noticed that the upper part of the chronology blinks whenever I play back video from the timeline. The top of the timeline where it shows you the green or red lines for renders bar or not video cooked is the section that blinks (the line all the time). I'm not having video playback issues. No flcikering video - only the top bar of the timeline. The flicking of the chronology is drivnig drives me crazy. Someone at - it expereinced this problem?

  • My notebook yourself run Premiere Pro CS4?

    Hey guys,.

    I'm new here. I was wondering if my laptop could run Premiere Pro CS4. Regardless of the conditions on adobe.com, could my laptop still run ok?

    Data sheet:


    Dell Studio XPS 16

    Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 - 2.4 GHz, 3 MB cache, 1066 MHz FSB

    4 GB DDR3 RAM memory twin 1067 MHz

    320 GB AT 7200 RPM

    1920 x 1080

    Tell me if I need to add more specifications.

    Thanks in advance!

    Amazon page you can click the menu drop down and choose the 500 GB model, which is only $119 (I paid $184 last year for the 500 GB, then got the 1 TB for $155... price!). He comes to 7200 RPM drives and important features.

    No, you needn't the ExpressCard if you have an eSata port. I did not, so I was just showing what is available.

    eSata drives are not faster than internal hard drives (at least 7200 rpm ones), but they're pretty close. The point is NOT to use USB or FireWire, port ports, they are slower. But for editing on a laptop, you'll want a second disc for your support with your internal drive for the OS and creation. You can do it on a drive to the rigour, but performance will suffer. If your laptop could mount a second internal drive then that would be nice, but it's going to be a hot laptop!
