But proxies are not full res, so you can’t check things in final quality.

I am using low res proxy files to enable fast editing and scrubbing etc.

However I’m not aware of a full res proxy which then plays back all effects/layers without any glitches.

The closest I ever found was converting to a faster codec, eg propres, however that turned my 40GB footage into 14TB, so was not a in really a practical solution.

Care to elaborate?

Right, so I found where the work area bar can be turned on and off (the hamburger menu next to sequence title), and then I get render in to out again…

I still think that you should be able to highlight something and do “render selection”. However at least it’s now possible to render a portion again.

One can use X to select what’s under the playhead, however that tends to require track targetting to be set differently to how I use the targetting.

What’s interesting is that you don’t seem to have a work area. I do, and I get “render work area” instead.

I don’t create a work area, that just happens automatically, and in fact, I’ve never really discovered what it’s for.

I’ll try to remove the work area later and see what happens.

Maybe I am really missing something, but this is what I have….

[David Moore]

I have a 4k screen, and a computer with a high spec for a PC.
I understand that for scrubbing etc, you need to use lower res, or proxies ideally.

However, I CAN render the entire thing, and watch it in full resolution.
Just I CANNOT ask it render “just that bit there, where I want to check the transitions”

There is no render selection, there is no render in to out anymore.

Therefore you have to wait perhaps 3 hours, for a full render, just to check one small part.

Your analogy doesn’t hold up at all, it’s nothing to do with hardware. It’s more like saying I want my Landrover Defender to pull a trailer, however it’s only possible if I agree to let it warm up for a couple of months each time… and I am driving daily.

Adobe should make render selection do what it says on the tin, and at least bring back render in to out.

This is still happening in Dec 2019.

The responses to your post almost as frustrating as the issue. You want to watch your timeline in full quality, which requires a render, and the “render selection” doesn’t do that, and the response to this bug it to watch your timeline in 1/4 quality….

What makes this even more pleasing in 2019, is that there’s no “render in to out”. So the only way to render that small part of the sequence you want to check and work on right now, is to render the entire sequence, which can take hours!

Wow, this method of working around the bug is still valid 4 years later… not very timely fixes, although new bugs seem to get introduced far more quickly!

Thanks, this thread really helped.
