  • Rendering clip made of mpegs

    Posted by Alan Wagner on March 1, 2010 at 3:00 am

    When I capture video in Premiere with my camera, it makes saves the videos as MPEGs. MPEGs are extremely slow to render, though–a one minute clip with some color keying took over an hour–so I was wondering if anyone knew how to speed up rendering with MPEGs? I’ve found some workarounds on Google, but most of them seem to be for Windows and I’m on a Mac. I’m running Premiere Pro CS3. Any help at all would be a godsend.

    It shouldnt take an hour, I can render my HD Mpeg2’s in just a few minutes after color keying. If you’re talking about mpeg1’s for SD clips then it should go even faster.

    Sounds like maybe your system needs more RAM or a faster proccesor.

    What are your system specs?

    Mac OS X 10.6.2, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM? It’s a standard iMac I got a few years ago.

    Yeah, my guess is that it’s the low amount of Ram, 2 gigs would work better but 4 to 8 would be optimal. I have 4 Gigs of ram and it works fine but I am going to add 2 more.

    Thanks, Danny. I didn’t know I had such bad specs D:
