I don’t know where the sequence icon is, but I did copy and paste into a new sequence and the bar is red.
When I render it holds until I restart Prem CS6.
Both sequences are DSLR 29.97. My project has some stills, h264 dslr video, mp4, and some HDV, and then the AE comp. At the beginning of the video I have a layered part with mp4, titles and a still with an overlay of fire using an alpha channel. It renders the section to yellow and holds after restarting Prem, but doesn’t play like its rendered. When the alpha channel comes in it gets choppy even though it says its rendered by the yellow. I just tried to render the entire 5 minute clip and Prem crashed and locked up. I had tp force quit.I opened the AE project in AE and is set to HDTV 1080 29.97. It doesn’t say what codec its using.Alan Stephens

that works if I close the project and reopen, but not if I close Premier, then it opens back up unrenedered.

Actually I’m not using dynamic link I am exporting to media encoder.
But everything else is correct.
I am rendering so I can see it play properly (smoothly). The AE logo close plays very choppy with out rendering skipping thru the frames. I have in addition to the AE file title text.
I got my computer specs to show up again, see below.1 press enter to render AE file.
2 it plays fine.
3 close project and reopen and playback is not rendered.

I am using dynamic link to export to media encoder. because it would crash on not complete I tried rendering the section by pressing enter. the red turns to green then I saved it before exporting.
It shows it rendered (yellow) when I open the project, but as sone as it plays over that section it turns back to red. I am using the Mercury playback engine GPU CUDA.Alan Stephens

Updating software and drivers solved this inquiry.
Thanks for your help!

OK no that I have updated PRPro & the Nvidia driver I can access the menu drop down.
Which of the 3 options is best for my system?
I would guess CUDA.

I am running PrPro 6.0.0
CUDA 5.0.36 however when I checked I noticed an update is available.
After running the update I now have CUDA 5.0.37
The render option is still greyed out, but I can’t complain about the performance. It is great!
So I can assume its working at its best?Alan Stephens

I checked the project settings but it is greyed out. I says “Mercury playback engine software only”
How can I enable it?
It does however have very good playback in real time at 1/2 rez setting. I took a clip and applied a B&W filter to the background then key framed a blur. At the same time I over layed another clip at half size applied a bevel and keyframed motion across the screen and it all plays smooth.
At full rez playback it does stutter. This seems pretty good for a MacBook!

It sounds like you’ve covered everything.
have you checked the clip levels in the preview window to make sure there is no volume envelope drawn.
You might try and copy the sequence clips and paste them into a new project. Also dupilcate the sequence and see if it helps. If you have another mac open it up there.Sounds like a project file corruption maybe.

This sounds good, although it looks a bit complicated. seems like you have all the details.
I’ll start looking into trading in my MacBook for a current one, with Nvidia.Thanks
