Pr and Flip camera
Hey, I have a question. Hopefully I can get an answer tonight…
I took about a 45 minute video with my flip camera, just for recording purposes. When I try to render it’s taking like over 2 hours. I’m not sure what’s going on. Anything I ever render is less than 10 minutes. Usually under 5 even if it’s a major SFX project exported from Ae.
Not sure what’s going , but is this just a bad connection between flip cameras and adobe? or is there something else going on? It just seems odd to me that I don’t have any problems with any other HD footage, even if it’s long and a lot of special effects and layers. But this is crazy long time to render.
Just crazy curious, and thanks in advance for the answer : )Rion

It would appear that you are comparing the AE experience working with raw (uncompressed) colour data that is starting from sometime basic (not much video sources) rendering out and the working with heavily compressed video that needs to decode before it is re-encoded and that requires massive CPU usage and if you add reading the drive it has come from and writing back the new file to the same drive, which will bottle neck the drive speed along with the CPU decoding and then encoding to another format (perhaps compressed too) all makes for a long render time.
Try to export to Uncompressed and to a separate drive (preferably internal SATA or eSATA or USB3 or at least Firewire – USB2 is slow, slow slow).

My problem isn’t that it takes too long, that’s to be expected. My problem is that premiere pro isn’t doing anything. Just tells me that it’s encoding. but nothing happens.

What sequence settings did you use and what export settings?
