Can’t believe it…..!
If you are ever doing quick color correction, or any color correction, and use the split screen effect to see before and after correction make sure you turn it off. Just finishing my first major piece with CS6. Left it turned on on a few clips. PrP renders it with the split screen so when you play the piece through the split screen is there. When you turn split screen off you have to render again.
That is NUTS. Split screen should be able to set and left on without being rendered. It would be my preference to make it a preset – on for every effect or off for every effect at the top of theEffects pane, so that you don’t have to turn it on and off constantly.
Just musing here… A lot more clicks to editing with PrP than FCP7. ANd since I’m at it…. Using 2 monitors, why does PrP always reopen and bin on the bottom of the main screen. It can’t remember where you had placed it.

So…
I’m thinking split screen should be part of the viewer, not part of the effect…?
this is how he handed it in combustion development back in the days of yore….(ok so like 8 years ago…but whatever)…. 🙂

So you are turning off an effect on a clip and are surprised you need to render again? Of course that’s how it works, premiere can’t read your mind and know that you only wanted it on temporarily.
-
Not turning on and off the effect – just the split screen which enables you to see the cause of the effect. It is just a tool not the effect. How many people want to see a before and after of an effect in the final piece?
Possibly it is just me…but nuts to me. Of course that’s what many say about me. 🙂

Well to me, if it is an option that is enabled inside the effect, then I assume that rendering will have that in it, whether it is designed just for referencing or not, what you see is what you get in most cases. Alternatively if you’re worried about leaving this on in the future, instead to see your original next to your color corrected clip you could go to Sequence->Match Frame while in your corrected clip. This is different than split view in that it is a side by side and it is really only for checking stopped frames next to eachother (playing back CC’d or original doesn’t sync playback the other), but this way it has nothing to do with the effect & leaves your CC’d image alone.

A couple of things:
Do you have or are you thinking of getting a CUDA enabled card? This will change things quite a bit – a lot of effects are optimized for realtime playback…color correction, etc. That would eliminate the need to render.Second, you can position your palettes, windows and bins however you want – actually a very cool and powerful feature in Adobe products to customize your editing environment – and then once you have it where you want, go to Window>Workspace and save the layout. You can save multiple layouts and switch between them, like for example, audio editing, color correction, etc.

I to render out split screen CCR clips all the time to show my remote clients the direction I’m going with the grade. Much easier than sending them a bunch of different stills that they can’t see all at once. If I couldn’t render out the split frame I’d be the one starting a “Can’t believe it….!” thread on why the split screen is for preview only.
Your problem with it has a solution, if it was a preview only thing then it would be another problem.

Of course I knew all you brilliant people would have answers. I have set up multiple layouts – one which fills the screen with just the monitor for playing back to clients.. They love watching on the 30 inch Mac monitor. Will look at some of the options suggested using match frame. Right now I can’t see a way of having scopes and the reference video. But still very new ant PrP let alone 6.
CUDA card – not sure yet…. deciding on next move. I spend most of my time on the road and am looking at the highest end MacBook Pro for travel editing – or shudder – a Windows machine – sends chills running through my body………
My MacPro can’t easily be taken on the road. Is on this trip because of only a 4 hour driving distance to my home. It has an ATI Radeon HD 5870 – which of course I just bought last year.
There are things I really like and things I really dislike but for the most part not bad. Just need to have Adobe keep on making it an editors system not a geek lots of clicks system.
Thanks guys – my BEST.

Another cool thing is once you have your windows set up, if you want to temporarily zoom one palette, bin or window to full screen, hover your mouse over it and hit the tilde key.
Second, now with CS6, it can utilize Open CL on a laptop….just not the one you have now.
See this page for the features and requirements:
https://blogs.adobe.com/premiereprotraining/2012/05/opencl-and-premiere-pro-cs6.htmlSo, if you do get your new laptop (wait until June 11 for WWDC!) you will probably be able to get realtime playback of the color correction/split screen situation.

Thanks – waiting for new laptop for next major trip.

I would never want a split screen on a final output.
who would? the occasional colorist before/after demo but thats it.
Adobe…its in your court.
