Activity Forums Adobe Premiere Pro Atomating export after render

  • Atomating export after render

    Posted by Peter Groom on February 18, 2020 at 9:13 am

    Hi
    Can anyone tell me if there is any way of automating Premiere pro to start an export after a long render? (Using the render file sin the export)

    My example is i have a 1.5 hour timeline with 4k Chromakey and colour effects. Clearly this needs rendering and Id want to have the rendered media in the project for further amends from the client.
    Premiere pro says this will take 4 hours to render.
    What I really want is the export to be done overnight, but the render wont finish until 2am – hence the request?

    You should try using Adobe Media Encoder.

    If you set up your Premiere Pro project with a ‘place holder’ (temp version of your render), then in After Effects tell it to Export over your place holder render.
    Once that’s set off rendering you then send your Premiere Pro Project to the Media Encoder also.

    As it will be second in the Queue, it won’t start rendering until the After Effects comp is rendered, which would have replaced your ‘place holder’ file with the final render. What you get is your final Edit with the final render, all while you sleep!

    (You could also get your Premiere Pro render to go direct to YouTube/Vimeo account with a password so not only does it render the sequence but also upload it, hopefully before the sun rises.

    Hope that helps;)

    Hi John
    Thanks for that – sorry if i misled but I don’t have ae only pp pro.
    If i substitute youre mentions of ae for pp will that still work in principle?

    Well in theory yes. But i’ve never tried it so perhaps a test on a shorter render will be the best way of finding out!
