Okay, so I reset the preferences and rendered again through Media Encoder. Same result with no 3d.
Then I used the render que and it was taking FOR EV ER. So I canceled it and saw some options for deep-level settings. So I went in there and looked for any possible way to make it render faster (i.e. render only 1 second of it rather than the entire 30 seconds).
I reduced quality as well… and that one second still took a couple of minutes… but it came out with 3d.
So long story short, it seems that the AE CC 2014 Render Que provides the 3D I need, but now I need to figure out how to make it render faster. A lot faster.
I am running a top of the line imac w/ 32G memory, and there’s no reason a simple 3d plain text word should take 45 minutes to render. That’s ridiculous. Something’s wrong.
I’ve downloaded AE templates that are far more complex, and last 30 seconds, and render out with media encoder in just a couple of minutes tops.

March 3, 2015 at 10:49 pm in reply to: Metadata “Analyze” button greyed out (P2 footage)Even more frustrating, I opened the file in Premier Pro CC and the button is there! And it’s working. So why is the same button NOT in PP CC 2014?

March 3, 2015 at 10:23 pm in reply to: Metadata “Analyze” button greyed out (P2 footage)I have no Analyze button at all. Not just grayed out, but non existent. I’ve unlocked each file and folder. Read & Write settings applied to each. I’ve closed Premier and opened it back up. Still no button. I’m looking in the Metadata area under Speech Analysis. Same as screen shots I have seen for others, but I get no button.

March 2, 2015 at 4:47 pm in reply to: Using Photoshop Photomerge pano still in Premiere ProI would keep the sequence set to 1080P.
First go to Preferences > General > and make sure the “default scale to frame size” is not checked.
Import and drag the Pano into the sequence. It will look “zoomed in”.
Now you can use key frames to adjust the scale in and out to focus on certain portions of the shot.
Suggestion: Start the sequence by showing the entire pano, and end with the entire pano, that way the viewer has a sense of what they are looking at, and your zooms in and out make more sense… ? Just a thought.

Alternatively, you might consider buying an Android tablet for the same purpose, which is quite a bit easier to hook up. A smaller, 7″ tablet like the Nexus 7 could be far less than $200 and might work very well for your needs.

The new iPad can also make an excellent field monitor with the help of a Teradek Cube encoder. The Teradek encodes a camera’s video output and then streams it via Wi-Fi to numerous iOS devices and/or computers. For iOS devices you must download the TeraCentral app. There is a slight delay (less than a second) that is long enough to make it hard to use on-camera. It makes a great addition to a set that would otherwise have a number of people hovering around the camera operator trying to get a look. It can also be an invaluable tool for sharing content with a producer or director if you are using a camera in a situation where you cannot run wires from the camera, such as on a Steadicam. The Teradek can stream to one or two devices without a router, but if you plan on streaming video to a large number of devices you have to set up a Wi-Fi network with a router, so some networking knowledge is recommended.

Hi Walter, Thank you. Here’s a folder with some screen shots. I show you that:
1) I can see 3D in the work area
2) There’s no 3D after it rendersLink to Google Drive folder of screen shots:

I performed the exact same process in AE CC (non 2014) and the 3d text works fine, BUT it takes forever. I saved the file, opened it in AE CC 2014 and it is still not working. Still looking for help to fix this issue. 3D text won’t render out in AE CC 2014.
