long long export times
hi all –
searched the archives, but haven’t quite found the answer…using WinXP Pro, on a Dell Gen5 XPS with 3Gb of memory.
Running Premiere Pro 2.0
I am editing some analog (wmv) & some and digital (avi) video.
I have a project that is wmv, 3.5 hours long.
Chopped off about 12 mins from the beginning, added an opening title and a closing title.Exporting from 320×240 to same, using Export to Windows Media at 1024 NTSC, 2-pass unconstrained, and audio at 64k, 44Mhz.
Final destination is a web archive.
Project is taking 12-14 hours to export?
Is this normal? seems excessive to me, or that I am using the wrong settings? -

Not so much the wrong settings, but maybe not the best process. I would use Windows Media File Editor (a small app that comes with Windows Media Encoder 9) to create 2 files, a small one for overlaying your title and a longer 3 hour 38 minute one. This is done without recomprssion.
Use Premiere to overlay a title on the short file and export this with the same settings as the source.
Then use a video joiner like Movie Joiner (rejump.com) to join the 2 sections together without recompression. -
Hi Mike –
Thanks for the suggestion – I have used the WMEditor before, but it makes ugly graphics – what do I want when I want my titles/overlays to actually look professional & attractive?
Maybe I’m not understanding you – could I make the title files in Premiere Pro, and then just join them?
Way back when, we used to use Windows Movie Maker Windows Media Editor to create/encode/export files, and it was faster, but everything had a “home movie” look to it.
does my question make sense?
tia, kel

Yes, but long encode times and ugly recompression which will degrade video.. The File Editor will not recompress…just stitch.

ok, I tried the stitch feature and it worked, (very cool) but it seemed to degrade the audio substantially, after I compared the saved file to the original?
I didn’t touch the audio settings…
