    Hello everyone.

    I am exporting my first ever Premiere show. It is a 82 min. long program, HDV 1080i. Everything is rendered – the entire timeline is green. It took well over 2 hours to render, which seems excessive to me, though I did have filters on almost everything.

    In the Export Settings window, both “Match Sequence Settings” and “Use Previews” boxes are checked. I expected that since I already rendered everything, this would mean that the export would go very quickly, as the entire show was essentially rendered already. But, it is halfway done, and already taken 20 min., so looks like 40 min. for the whole thing. Am I doing something wrong? Can I do anything to speed things up? When exporting a similar “pre-rendered” show from Final Cut 7 on this computer, it would take just a few minutes.

    My specs: I am on a Mac Pro, 2×3 GHz Quad Core, 8G of RAM. I do have a newer Mac with a faster processor & more RAM, which I am going to experiment with the same project later on. But I still think this is awfully slow on the current computer, at least compared to the performance I got with Final Cut 7.

    Thanks much

    This has come up so much. Adobe does not work like apple. There is no more QUICK export.

    You do not have to render to export either.

    To save time I would,

    Use the quick and easy mpeg preview files that APP defaults to when creating a sequence.

    When done, Export to a Master File, don’t bother with the preview clips.

    To add to Chris’ comments – what is the purpose of the export? Blu-ray, DVD, YouTube? I would not use “Match Sequence Settings” in most cases. Decide the destination of the export and choose a Format and Preset accordingly, and just check if you need to adjust frame dimensions or frame rate for your footage.

    Thanks
