rendering over and over
I’m new to PP2 and editing a 2-camera multicam sequence. every time I open the multicam sequence and try to play it, there’s a message ‘Rendering Required Files’ which then takes 5 minutes or so (it’s a 1-hour program). what’s up with that – what’s being rendered and why does it happen over and over again?

It shouldn’t be happening over and over again. When the first time you launched the multi-cam window, did you wait for the entire thing to render? If you did, do you have enough hard-drive space left?
The reason it’s happening?
Premiere Pro is using nested sequences to edit multicam tracks and it has to render the audio previews for this to work succesfully.Aanarav Sareen

don’t remember – maybe I cancelled it. would that make it keep doing it? doesn’t it know that it’s already done it? I haven’t cut anything from the program, just made video choices, so the audio has no reason to change.

Yes, that will re-render the entire thing. Unfortunately, it doesn’t “remember” that you have done this previously. [Charlie Steiner] “so the audio has no reason to change.”
That is how nested sequences work in PRemiere Pro. Everytime you nest sequences or clips, there will be some audio rendering.

oy. thanks aanarav. I assume this is a bug which will be fixed soon. but just to be clear, is there any difference if the thing is allowed to render the first time the multicam is launched?

Not a bug, but certainly an annoyance. If you allow it to be completed the first time, you won’t have to render over and over again. It’s all or none.

well first of all thanks for putting this form for replies and letting me post it, then telling me I have to register before I post, erasing all my text. I can’t tell you what a brilliant UI move that was…
but misdirected anger aside, I was working with premiere pro 2 and waited 15 mihutes for the rendering to finish so that I could use the multicam tool only to discover that I had forgotten to unmute one of the tracks. no big deal right? so I go back to the sequence, unmute, ready to go when BAM rendering required files for ANOTHER 15 minutes!
why would unmuting a track cause it to have to render all over again? why does it have to even render in the first place?! do all of the vid edit programs that feature multicam do this as well? this is a real deal breaker for me! I don’t want to have to rerender the WHOLE THING every single time I want to make ONE LITTLE CHANGE to the sequence. isn’t it customary to render the files, AFTER you’re done with the multicam editing?
