Render line stays yellow after rendering (CS5)
I’m running PP CS5 (v5.0.2) on Win7 x64 with an Nvidia Quadro 4000 (Mercury Playback certified). My whole sequence initially displays a yellow render line. If I render the work area (via the Enter key, with max. bit depth and render quality selected), it still displays yellow. I’m a noob, but shouldn’t it display green? My previous system didn’t support Mercury, so the render line displayed red until I rendered a portion, which would then turn green. I have GPU enabled under Video Acceleration and Playback.

You need to select “Render entire work area” – under sequence
I have made a shortcut key to it with “cmd+Enter”
that can be done under Edit/keyboard customizationhope that helps.

Aah, that’s exactly it. I was misinterpreting “entire work area” as “entire sequence” and avoiding it.
As an aside, the documentation’s a little sketchy on this point, but my impression is that Premiere (via Mercury) only uses (approved) graphics cards for rendering previews, not for exporting/final renders. If that’s true, is there any net gain by rendering previews (accelerated by the graphics card) of the entire project before exporting, and then using those previews during the export, which are supposed to speed things up?

I’m pretty sure the yellow line means premiere is very sure it can play it back in real time, therefore rendering it to a file is unnecessary. As to your second question i’m sure that would speed things up but you might take a hit in quality.
