Premiere Pro takes 8 hours to export 8 mins of video

Hi Duke..

Bit Depth generally refers to how color is quantized during capture

think of a RED , GREEN, and BLUE stripe. Each stripe goes from a the darkest value of that color to it’s lightest.

The higher the bit depth, the more steps or divisions in the stripe.

8 BIT = 256 steps (gradients) per stripe

10 BIT = 1024 steps (gradients) per stripe

so…..the higher the bits….the better the fidelity possible.

I’m not sure what the division is between low and high….

but I’d assume at this point 8 and 10 are probably low, 12 and above ae probably high.

here’s another link for your review:

Ah! Once you used the word gradient it became much clearer to me. Now, my lowly D5500 does take 12 (and 14?) bit pictures. That’s in RAW, so I’m going to guess that doesn’t necessarily mean it does 12 bit video as well. I’m just going to go google it but I’m guessing it probably puts out 8 bit color so, bottom line, I don’t need to check those “Maximum” checkboxes.

Thanks for the info and the link!

please let me know what have you done to the logo image file?
I think i have the same issue, but you did not write further more about what you actually did with the logo?

thanks in advance

I would guess that the graphic overlay had very large dimensions, such as 8000×8000 pixels or something. Go to Photoshop and scale the graphic to match video sequence, such as 1920×1080 pixels, then Premiere does not need to scale that image when applied to the video.

Thanks
