Frustrating bug in Premiere cc

[Matthew Ross]

Huh, that’s interesting. Here’s my view in Premiere 14.0 (which is from CC 2020, but I don’t remember it being different in CC 2019):

What’s interesting is that you don’t seem to have a work area. I do, and I get “render work area” instead.

I don’t create a work area, that just happens automatically, and in fact, I’ve never really discovered what it’s for.

I’ll try to remove the work area later and see what happens.

[David Moore]

Right, so I found where the work area bar can be turned on and off (the hamburger menu next to sequence title), and then I get render in to out again…

I still think that you should be able to highlight something and do “render selection”. However at least it’s now possible to render a portion again.

One can use X to select what’s under the playhead, however that tends to require track targetting to be set differently to how I use the targetting.

If you take advantage of the proxy workflow you can play back all media at full res without any rendering and without so much as a hiccup in play back and the only rendering will occur on export.

I am using low res proxy files to enable fast editing and scrubbing etc.

However I’m not aware of a full res proxy which then plays back all effects/layers without any glitches.

The closest I ever found was converting to a faster codec, eg propres, however that turned my 40GB footage into 14TB, so was not a in really a practical solution.

Care to elaborate?

[Greg Janza]

I was referring to full res as in not having to set play back to 1/2 or 1/4.

With proxies there’s really no need to render at all.

But proxies are not full res, so you can’t check things in final quality.
