Does Premiere Render all visible layers?
Hi all
Im cutting an interview which uses a lot of B Roll. If my interview footage is on layer 1 (graded and noise reduced) and my B Roll is on layer 2 (graded), will Premiere process the parts of layer 1 that are being covered up by my B Roll? The noise reduction is quite render intensive.
Thanks a lot

I’ve always found that Premiere seems to read what is on the hidden layers and if you have noise reduction, blurs, heavy third party plugins, etc. it can slow down the render process. Even though it really shouldn’t. So when I have layers like you described and render times need to be fast, I will trim back the hidden video layers to their points of transition or cut. It does make a difference.

I’ve found that you can Right Click each that is unseen, and toggle “Enable” to disable the clip in the timeline. This will make the clip label a dark shade, showing you that it is toggled to disabled.
My method is to add a cut point to the video when it is covered by a higher tracks clip, dragging all the visible clips up one track, and keeping the unneeded clips on the lower track.
Once I have lifted all visible tracks up, I will select the entire, unneeded lower track and disable the clips with the “enable” toggle switch when right-clicking the clip in the timeline.
This to me feels like a less destructive workflow over deleting or trimming clips.
