Premiere Pro STALLS on export, EXTREMELY slow rendering time
Hey guys!
I’m editing in Windows on a core i7 processor with 16 gb of ram… In Premiere Pro, when I try to render my sequence (in to out points) it takes an EXCRUCIATINGLY long time to execute the render (10 minutes for 323 frames)… It does the same thing while rendering audio. I am working on 4k footage with proxies attached, but it doesn’t seem to go any faster or slower when the proxies are connected or disconnected… I’ve had this laptop for about 3 years, and it used to be able to handle projects like these with absolutely no problem, so I’m wondering what has changed that has resulted in the slow processing times…
Also, when I hit control+M to export media, Windows exporer stalls/hangs, and it takes a good 15-20 seconds for Media Encoder to boot up. Similar stalls occur when I try click any of the drop-down menus within Media Encoder (preset settings, etc). There also is hanging while trying to render a sequence within Premiere Pro… the app will say “not responding…” until the render is finally complete.
Have any of you guys noticed issues like these, or know of a solution to the problem? I’m happy to provide any other info that may be helpful.
Thanks so much all!
Chris

What’s the free-space status of your drive(s)?
Your footage is on a separate drive, or the C drive?
What video hardware? Software or hardware rendering?
What version of Windows?
What version of the Adobe Suite?
System:
Dell Precision T7600 (x2)
Win 7 64-bit
32GB RAM
Adobe CC 2017.1 (as of 8/2017)
256GB SSD system drive
4 internal media drives RAID 5
Typically cutting short form from UHD MP4, HD MP4, and HD P2 MXF. -
Thanks for the response, Jon!
1. Free space on my internal hard drive: 165 gb free of 476 gb.
2. The footage and project file is on an external Seagate Backup Plus drive, with 326 gb free of 931 gb.
3. Video hardware: NVIDEA GEFORCE GTX 960M. Using Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)
4. Windows 10, x64. i7-6700hq @2.6GHz processor
5. Using Premiere Pro version 13.1.2 (build 9)
Let me know if you need any other info!
Thanks

Proxy rendering as well as normal export rendering also take abnormally long amounts of time.

OK. What about FX usage in the project? Thinking of things like de-noisers or other FX hat can really ramp up render times.

Jon,
I’m not using any effects… Just warp stabilizer in some instances. =/

“I’m not using any effects… Just warp stabilizer in some instances. =/”
Umm, yeah Warp Stabilizer IS an effect, and in fact takes the very longest to render of any effect and being 4K on a laptop, this is most likely the cause of the issue
Thanks

I’ve been using warp stabilzer for 7-8 years and have never had it be the culprit of an issue like this. I just exported a 4k sequence that is 3:15 in length that took OVER AN HOUR to export… The sequence had no effects (no warp stabilizer, no color correction, nada)… So something else must be at play here. I’ve been cleaning up my C: drive, but it hasn’t helped..

Has Premiere added a setting to utilize the proxy files for exporting? Last time I did a proxy workflow, that was not the case (“Use Previews” in the encoder window is not the setting for that). So every time you export out of Premiere with a proxy workflow, it is utilizing the original media for that export.
Also, where did this 4K originate from? A Sony A6500? A GH5 in 400Mbps Intra? A Red Scarlet? A Fuji X-T3?
