April 22, 2015 at 1:17 pm in reply to: How to speed up export/render times on premiere CC?Don’t export to C: (system) drive, rather export to a dedicated fast media drive. Also, what does the rest of the export panel look like? There are checkboxes that can increase render times
Thanks

Just pay attention to the CODEC used with the .avi export, as the default is likely UNCOMPRESSED which you do not want, files are MASSIVE.

April 21, 2015 at 4:17 pm in reply to: How to speed up export/render times on premiere CC?Can you please post a screen shot of the Export Settings for review? Checkboxes for “Max Render” and “Max Bit Depth” can add to render times, but are not needed much of the time. Could that be an issue for you?
Thank you

Since you are editing on the PC, get away from the thought of QuickTime. Use an .avi format instead, such as Cineform (install free GoPro Studio to get the codec). QuickTime Player has issues with colors on playback and also QT engine is 32-bit, which will slow down Premiere which wants to operate as 64-bit.
I see you had the codec settings at “12-bit with alpha”, quite likely not what you would need to use in any case.
It’s recommended with any NLE to have a fast, dedicated drive for video and to NOT use the C: drive if you can help it.

Hi Jerry,
Timeline to DVD was an option in Premiere several years ago, but is not available on more recent releases. One must first export to “MPEG-2 DVD” format, then author in Adobe Encore or similar software.
Thanks

Hi Paul,
It seems that you are in the US, correct? The NTSC video standard is used in the US, while Australia (and UK and many other countries) use the PAL format. NTSC is 720×480 at 29.97fps while PAL is 720×576 at 25fps. You could export from an NTSC source to a PAL format, but no need for that – PAL DVD players will play NTSC DVDS, as the conversion hardware is built into PAL DVD players. So just make an NTSC DVD and you ought to be fine. Converting NTSC to PAL via software will not yield very good results anyway, without specialty software.
I don’t know if your source is 1080i or 1080p, but export from Premiere using the “MPEG-2 DVD” format, and choose an appropriate preset, either “NTSC DV Widescreen” for 1080i source or “NTSC DV Widescreen Progressive” with 1080p source. Take the results into Adobe Encore to author and burn to DVD.
Thanks

April 17, 2015 at 2:07 pm in reply to: Video Dimensions Are Different Upon Import into Premiere Pro20 frames per second is also quite non-standard. How did you create this video clip and how do you intend to deliver – web, YouTube, Blu-ray? Delivery formats are never square. Another little issue. Some pre-planning can go a long way.

Also, even if your footage is indeed 1080i (interlaced) and you would use a 1080i sequence, no need to apply Deinterlacing in the timeline – when you export to a Progressive format, it gets deinterlaced at that point.
Thanks

April 15, 2015 at 7:10 pm in reply to: Recommended Hardware for Playback to 3rd display?Does the Dell display have an HDMI input? A BlackMagic Decklink Mini Monitor card is $140 and provides HDMI (and HD-SDI) output from a small PCI-e card (if you have a slot open). This is a VIDEO output at proper signal timing, not a “computer signal”. Provides a more realistic preview of the video from Premiere timeline. Premiere will feed the card directly, has nothing to do with the Mac display hardware.
Thanks
