Any way to increase fianl render speed?
Hi, I use a Kodak Zx3 Video camera that shoots 1080p video resolution. After shooting the video using off-line editing in Premiere Pro cs3, I render the video in 720p. The render of the video is slow as hell and it is a clean computer made just for video editing. (In task manager, the CPUs show around 100% or usage). I noticed the following:
When I created a 1080p 30fps project and after editing, I tried to render the video in same 1080p resolution. Well, it showed that the video would be finished in approximately 10 hours. Then I decided to instead of 1080 to have a 720p project. So I created a 720p 30fps project, edited it, set in on export to 720p and it still showed 10 hours of render time.
I’m not sure but maybe this is because for both projects I used a 1080p resolution video.
Anyways, is there any ways to decrees the render time? Maybe some custom settings that I have top set in the premiere preferences.
My Computer:
Windows XP 32bitHP XW8200
Intel Xeon (2 single processors)
4GB DDR3 memory
500Gb hard drive
Nvidia Gforce Gt 220Thanks in advance.

… if the only way to deal with this is to buy a newer processor, well, I guess then I’m gonna have to shoot my original files in 720p.

One thing that helps a lot is to have more than one hard drive, so that your source files are being read from one and your output files are being written to another. A lot of times, the thrashing between reads and writes to a single hard disk is the bottleneck in performance.

Ah, got it, thanks. I’ll try that, I do have separate drives and I’ll try to render the video there. Also…
How is the method of rendering a project using multiple workstations connected all together called? I’m not sure if Adobe Premiere supports this method…

You are not mentioning how long your video is? and what you are saving your video as, 720p or 1080p as mpeg2 or H264 for DVD or blu-ray?? Your original file is a .mov(h264) a very highly compressed format and depending what you are transcoding to could take a long time, 5x or 10x or more, and like Todd mentioned using a single drive can cause bottlenecks.

Premiere Pro doesn’t have a network rendering option.

[Dima Smirnov] “using multiple workstations connected all together called?”
Its called a “Render Farm”, like Todd mentioned Ppro dosen’t network, looking at the specs of the computer you listed you are underpowered to handle highly compressed like AVC H264 -
Also, do not trust the initial reporting of ‘Estimated Time Left’ when rendering. I have a similar timeline of 4 minutes in length, 1080P AVCHD footage with the only ‘red bar’ effect being Magic Bullet Looks applied to most of the clips. For about 10 minutes the ‘Estimated Time Left’ showed as being a little over 2 hours. Then the ETL started dropping drastically and the actual render time came out at less that 20 minutes.
