  PRO render speed problem…..

  Posted by Steve_ on February 9, 2006 at 11:26 am

  Hi guys,

  Is there any reason that a wmv captured in WMM at 640×480 with a standard profile, (ie no exotic paramaters) should take an hour to render out of PRO? Output settings as follows….

  Audio encoding mode: CBR
  Video encoding mode: CBR

  Audience: 147 Kbps
  Audio codec: Windows Media Audio 9 Voice
  Audio format: 20 kbps, 22 kHz, mono
  Video codec: Windows Media Video 9
  Video bit rate: 120 Kbps
  Video size: 276 x 208
  Frame rate: 15 fps
  Key frame: 2 s
  Image quality: 40
  Buffer size: 20 s

  Machine specs
  Dell percision 670
  Dual Xeon 3.2GHz/800MHz/2MB
  1GB DDR2 400 ECC Dual Channel Memory (2×512 2-R)
  160GB (7,200rpm) SATA2 Hard Drive with DataBurst Cache

  Incedentally, the same process was done in Ulead videostudio 9 and the speeds were quite fast, nothing like an hour for say a half hour timeline. for say half hour clip, it was spitting it back out in around 20mins… unfortunatley Ulead is not a stable product, kept hanging and crashing and you can get it free bundled with other stuff which says it all really, thus not an option worth exploring.

  PRO seems to have alot more time for the WMV,via the Adobe Encoder, than say 6.5 (with plugin), its even allowing me to import the .prx file ive been using in ulead up to now. Any Idea based on the above, what speed i should be getting/could be getting? Apologies if I’m not making sense, I can furnish more specifics if necessary. Also, I have downgraded the machine from 64bit XP os to plain old XP pro 32bit.

  Thanks in advance…..

  Steve

  Premiere Pro does not like editing WMV files. They have to be converted to DV and then back to WMV. Premiere Pro is not the correct tool for the job.

  However, if you stop capturing to WMV and capture to AVI type2, then you will see a maked improvement in Premiere Pro.
