Is it possible to render faster?
Hello,
Last time a made a 1 hour 41 minutes video for my friend’s wedding. Guess what, it took my computer 2 DAYS to render the AVI file on my computer. 2 DAYS!! I was here unable to touch anything on my computer for 2 days which means no way to get emails, have skypephone calls to customers, nothing.
I said to myself: you have to find a way to render faster.
Here is what my system looks like:
512 MB DDR
2800 CPU AMD SEMPRON
128 MB ATI all-in-wonder 9600 graphic card
Windows XP proI use premiere pro 1.5
What do you think would need improvement so rendering could go faster? more RAM? more CPU speed? Better graphic card?
I have heard of REAL-TIME bards, but iam not sure i have thouroughly understood what advantages they bring in the rendering process, i figure with one like that my project would have been rendered in , well, 1h41?
As you can see, i have lots of questions. I spare you the other questions i was asking myself during those “lost” 2 days LOL.
Thank you

All of the above. A fast processor, more RAM, and the right GPU on the graphics card could all contributre to faster rendering.
You may also need to rethink your disk configuration. Your hard drive or the control of that drive could be at fault.
It also matters what effects you used. Auto Levels or color correction, and especially the Magic Bullet effects can all slow things down.

As Steve is telling you , ram 512 is nothing these days

i just built a new pc that finally works
4gigs of ram, 7900gt geforce card, pentium D
i like magic bullet effects and it virtually plays them back to me in real time now
so if you got the money spend it -
Not to sound unfair, but I think you have a pretty under-powered system there. I would go for minimum 1gb DDR2-667 or 2gb if you can afford it, A NVidia 7900GT or 7900 GTX for GPU-accelerated effects like Magic Bullet, a faster CPU (The Intel dual-core 900-series are very cheap now, ahead of the Conroes in July) and the best X975 mobo you can get (maybe an ASUS P5WD2
or a Gigabyte GA-G1975X.) Of course if you are looking to AMD, I can’t help you on their stuff but I know the Athlons are very fast as well. Peter Corbett

I had an hour video that took 2 days as well and am having the same problem. I have 9 gigs of RAM, i7 processor and lots of hard drive, but that seems meaningless when it comes to render time. I did see a program somewhere that you can purchase as an addon to speed render up but I am having trouble finding it again. It was on adobes website as a 3rd party plugin I think – I’m trying to find it myself so I can speed mine up.

The third party rendering you are revering to is only for H.264 exporting with specific nvidia Gfx cards. Look up cuda.
