  • Slow rendering time, too much for my computer?

    Posted by Brenda Simpson on April 3, 2014 at 5:33 pm

    Hi,
    I’m new to video editing and have a Macbook Pro:
    2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    OS X 10.9.2

    When I tried rendering an 8-second video clip in Premiere Pro that had a small effect added in After Effects, it took 35 minutes. Is there something I can change to shorten this or does my computer not have enough capacity to handle it?

    Also, once I went back to Premiere from AE, the clip was very choppy before I rendered it, is that normal?

    Thank you!!

    Is it a dual core or quad core? iIf it’s a quad core, you may be running out of memory. It all depends on the effects, but 16GB would be the bare minimum on a quad core, especially when dealing with Dynamic link. Any type of motion blur, feathering, or any type of blur will slow things down considerably.
