None of the VDub-versions I’ve been used (even up to the most recent) have not been able to open QT-files without using Avisynth or any particular plugin. By using Avisynth it will not be possible to use “Direct stream copy”, and therefore it will be of no use to me.

I haven’t been able to find any application that does what I want, so I’m curious. How do you pros extract parts from .mov-files without re-render?

I was still tweaking, and the solution to make it playback in realtime was to export the sequence with 200% speed and then reimport it. Pretty tedious, if you ask me. Doesn’t seem like Premiere caches anything, and since I had a lot of timing to do it was impossible without realtime playback.

Also, when rendering the work area (by pressing enter), Premiere stalls completely when trying to play the render. 0% cpu is used, but it’s not possible to do anything in the GUI except to kill the program and restart. Even more tedious.

However, I’ve found another weird thing. I’m done tweaking and exported the whole project to avi to check it. Premiere still skips rendering those video track that hasn’t got the red line over them. When playing the render there are a lot of video skips in the movie, all skips are coherent with the timeline where the red bar is not present.

Why on earth would it do that for the final render?!

Thanks for the reply.

Is there a way to force / trick Premiere to render video track 1? It’s a PNG-sequence of 6000+ frames that’s got the speed set to 200%, and it will therefore not play in realtime in the monitor when I press space. This is also why I want to let Premiere render it out so I can see it in realtime.

Aden,

Download the freeware program called VirtualDUB. It has a video (and audio) setting that’s called “Direct stream copy”. This is the tool you want to use – simply set the option, then set in/out points and finally save the video. The video data itself will be entirely untouched.

Also, it’s very common to make minor mistakes like this, and if you render directly to a video format (mov/avi, etc) you will have to rerender everything from scratch.

What I do is to render everything to image sequences (PNG-files), and doublecheck everything prior to delivery. If all is fine, I just merge the PNG:s into a mov/avi and ship. This saves a lot of time, especially if the project is huge and the amount of time available is not.
