Premiere needlessly wants to render my timeline!
Great forum guys. Really helpful stuff…
I’m importing NTSC DV footage into my NTSC DV project and when I put the footage on the timeline it immediately appears with a red line above it. I’ve checked the size of the frame (720 x 480), the frame rate 29.97 and the compression of the source footage – yes, DV! (I tried both the Panasonic DV encoder and also the Mainconcept DV encoder in VirtualDub to create the files I imported into Premiere)
I haven’t applied ANY effects to the footage.
I’ve tried interpreting the footage to every available aspect ratio option – no cigar.
I’ve even tried setting the editing mode up as “desktop” and selecting “mainconcept” as my preferred compressor in the project settings. Nope!
One odd thing I have noticed is that ‘frame blending’ is automatically selected in the clips on the timeline. When I turn this off it doesn’t change the rendering status.
Video captured with Premiere works fine.
I’d love to hear some suggestions…

It seems there is something that is making PPro think the file is not DV compliant.
Use a utility like GSpot to interrogate the file for problems. Post the results.

Thanks for suggesting the line of enquiry. I’ve uploaded the image of the GSpot analysis.
Do you think it’s got anything to do with whether the DV file is type 1 or type 2?
-
Type 2 is good (Type 1 requires rendering) but Dolby audio is not standard DV and therein lies your problem.

Thanks Eddie. I really appreciate your assistance.

I have this exact same question, but with a different codec and no audio.
I’ve got an Apple Animation file I exported from After Effects that wants me to render in Premiere in a project of the same specs as the file.
I used the analyzer and all it said was this:
File
size: 6.35 GB (6,506 MB / 6,662,616 KB / 6,822,519,487 bytes)Container
qt : Apple QuickTime (.MOV/QT)
File Type: QuickTime (.MOV)
Mime Type: video/quicktimeAnd then there was a button lit up at the bottom uder “MS A/V” and when I clicked it, it said this:
“Rendering failed. Following is the error reported by DirectShow:
0x80040265: [unknown]”It’s really frustrating because I’m exporting at a high resolution out of After Effects, and then Premiere comes along and ruins the quality by rendering it 🙁

Hi Kim,
What ‘editing mode’ are you in (project/project settings/general)?
