Perpetual Rendering
I’ve been using Premiere Pro for years, and this is the first time I’ve ever encountered this bizarre issue. I just bought CS5 last week, opened a project (created in CS4), and edited without any issues. Last night, I allowed Adobe to do a big update, and this morning, my rendering is a mess. I’m running CS5 on Windows 7.
When I hit “Enter” to render my timeline, everything seems to proceed nicely, but it NEVER ENDS. I start with 27 Video Previews and 900 frames, but the rendering always seems to eventually hang up. It reaches a point where the total frames and total Video Previews begin to increase. In my latest attempt, it was around the 80% mark. So one second, I’ve rendered 700 or 900 frames, and 22 of 27 Previews. But then both start climbing. Now – a couple minutes later – I’ve rendered 87 of 92 Previews, and 3415 of 3633 frames.
I’ve tried rendering small pieces of the timeline, and it seems to be pretty arbitrary where it breaks down. And if I break it down small enough (sometimes to just a couple frames), I can eventually get it all rendered. But if I try to render bigger sections of the timeline, this happens every time.
I’ve tried clearing out the preview folder and starting over, to no avail.
Also, in case it matters, I’ve got a couple AfterEffects clip/links embedded in the timeline, but these seem to render fine.Anyone else ever seen this before?
Thanks,

I assume it’s related to the update, but I think I just found a short-term solution to my problem. Not the prettiest, simplest solution, but it works.
I found that my rendering hangups were pretty unpredictable, but they were always occurring with titles and/or imported graphics. When I re-created those titles and re-imported the graphics, the problem went away.
With a much bigger project, this is probably not the answer. But if you’ve only got half a dozen titles & graphics (as I did here), it’s at least a short-term workaround.
