“Rendering Required Files” While Multi-Camera Editing

[Keith Emroll]

John, you are a life saver!!!

You should definitely do a tutorial! Here’s what I did, based on your suggestion:

– Unlinked the audio from the video on both cameras in the Synch sequence
– Deleted the audio from the Audio 2 track (I wasn’t using it anyway)
– Cut the Audio 1 track and placed it a separate sequence for later use, thereby leaving only video in the Synch sequence
– I repeated the “unlink and delete” for the Multi sequence, too, since I already had about 25 minutes’ worth of footage edited and didn’t want to lose that work
– I saved the project, exited Premiere, and – just to be safe – deleted the Encoded Files and Preview Files again
– I re-launched Premiere, copied the Audio 1 track into the Multi sequence, and everything seems to be working like a champ

Since I have a whole second performance night to edit after this one, I’m going to do this from now on whenever I have long multi-camera programs to edit.

Thank you so much! I feel like a huge weight has been taken off my shoulders.

Here’s hoping I won’t have any further troubles like this.

All the best,
Keith

I’m running Windows Vista Home Premium.

And P.S. to John: I had to move the Audio into one of the other tracks in the Multi sequence while I edited, because when I made cuts, it cut the audio track, too, and deleted everything that came after.

Another Trick is to set the Multicam window to an Audio Track that is there just has nothing in it.

I think its just Vista Premium. I have the same problem. I have all my other audio sources turned off in the original sequence so I am not sure the compressing the audio is the issue.

Great thread. I just encountered this problem on the Mac in CS 5.5. I had CD audio captured from the sound board on track 1 in the “sync” sequence, with four tracks of video with audio (multicam limited to four total A/V tracks).

To get around the “rendering required files” error, all I did was delete all the camera audio tracks in the “sync” sequence, leaving the CD-audio which was the only one I was using any way. Seems to have fixed the problem. I was six minutes in with dozens of camera switches, so having to unlink and delete each video in the “multicam edit” sequence would have been very tedious.

Thanks for the discussion; i would have been SOL if I hadn’t seen it. Lots of work to go; hopefully Premiere Pro will remain stable. I had visions of having to go to FCPX which would have meant recapturing all my source footage.

Best.

I know it’s an old thread but if someone bumps into this issue again (Like I did just earlier) I can offer a workaround quite similar to what ‘Jan Ozer’ did.

From my experience When using a multi-cam sequence The problem usually occurs when you have either a buggy audio track in a video file (i.e. after any kind of format or pal/ntsc conversion) or a multiple format audios in the same sequence.
In my work I’m constantly in position of having mixed system project (Pal/NTSC) which brings me into many video files’ conversions (60p-25p etc.).

The simple workaround which I use often is syncing the multi-cam origin sequence and then duplicate that sequence. I then delete the problematic audio files in the original sequence alone (it’s usually one or two of them). When I finish the multi-cam edit entirely I can copy the audio files from the exact frame on the sequence copy to the original one and deal with only one “render required sequence”.
Happy new year to everyone
