Render Work Area-problem (novice user)
Been using Premiere Pro 1.5 only for a week, I’ve discovered a problem that I cannot solve.
Look at this timeline consisting of four video tracks:
I want to render out the work area in yellow, up to 25sec, but when I press enter (render work area) Premiere only renders up to the end of the fourth video track, i.e. the red line. If I extend the length of the fourth track, the red line extends as well and gets rendered. I don’t understand this.
Why won’t Premiere render the area I’ve chosen? What’s the red line, and how do I extend it so Premiere can render?

Hi Rikard,
The red line indicates what needs to be rendered. Once rendered the red line turns green. The video on tracks 1-3 don’t need to be rendered.

Thanks for the reply.
Is there a way to force / trick Premiere to render video track 1? It’s a PNG-sequence of 6000+ frames that’s got the speed set to 200%, and it will therefore not play in realtime in the monitor when I press space. This is also why I want to let Premiere render it out so I can see it in realtime.

Hi,
If there is no red bar above over that section of the sequence then premiere won’t render it. It may not be playing because it is too much for your system to handle. You could try exporting the png sequence to .avi or another format then bringing it back into your project for rt playback. Are you trying to export a finished seq or still tweaking?Jake Williams

I was still tweaking, and the solution to make it playback in realtime was to export the sequence with 200% speed and then reimport it. Pretty tedious, if you ask me. Doesn’t seem like Premiere caches anything, and since I had a lot of timing to do it was impossible without realtime playback.
Also, when rendering the work area (by pressing enter), Premiere stalls completely when trying to play the render. 0% cpu is used, but it’s not possible to do anything in the GUI except to kill the program and restart. Even more tedious.
However, I’ve found another weird thing. I’m done tweaking and exported the whole project to avi to check it. Premiere still skips rendering those video track that hasn’t got the red line over them. When playing the render there are a lot of video skips in the movie, all skips are coherent with the timeline where the red bar is not present.
Why on earth would it do that for the final render?!

Found your post while i was looking for a “force render” button in Premiere too.
the only thing that works for me is dropping an effect on the Image Sequence (like crop) but without changing the values, so there’s nothing to crop.
And there’s the red line, waiting to be rendered 😉they should make a force-render-button !!
cya,
