premiere re-rendering unnecessarily
Greetings Premiere Masters,
When I drag a clip to the “create new sequence button” and then, without editing, export maintaining my sequence settings… WHY does it re-render? Makes no sense to have a generation loss here.
(Obviously I’d never do that… but I’m using it as an example because when I throw something into premiere for a simple splice, I can’t get it to NOT render. This was one of the very smart and useful aspects of FCP.)
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
thanks,
Tom

Premiere doesn’t do stream copies. Since you’re on a Mac there is a way to set your sequence preview render to ProRes, and you can export ProRes without too much of a generation loss (there is an Adobe blog on this workflow… I don’t have it but it’s been passed around in these forums).

Thanks Angelo. This is great info to know.
But it is unfortunate that Premiere does not allow for that. Admittedly, it’s rare that you’d want it… But most editors have been in situations where they can’t open up a project file (FCP, Premiere, whatever) so they must import the master video file to make changes. If it’s a teeny change (like changing the copyright date or doing a little splice) it’s a shame that you’d have to have any kind of generation loss on the unchanged portions.
I love Premiere, but I will miss that about FCP.
