February 17, 2017 at 4:03 pm in reply to: Why does render take so much longer than encode?

One more data point. I believe the reason the render I did by hitting Return took so much longer than the render that occurred during export is that the source is 1920×1080 while I was exporting to 1280×720. So the first render had to manage 2 million pixel frames while the export render worked with 1 million pixel frames. And I have a feeling that render time may be an exponential function of frame size, so doubling the frame size might quadruple the render time.

Anyway, thanks to everyone for their input.

Thank you!

I see all kinds of export settings in the Export Media screen but I don’t see much about render settings, other than optimize for performance or memory, so I don’t know how to compare the two settings.

Also, I’m not using AME.

Thanks

Thanks. But regardless of the render settings, doesn’t encoding to an output file do the exact same render?

I just checked and the Preview File Format is I-Frame Only MPEG. I knew it would be big because I was taking a 30 minute 1924×1080 video down to 33% speed with Optical Flow inserting new frames. But 320GB?!

Excellent! The markers panel does it all! Plus you can double-click a marker and add any label you want.

Thanks!

Thanks. That worked!

February 7, 2017 at 8:25 pm in reply to: Is there a way to speed up sound when adjusting speed in the Program Window?

Thanks. I don’t want to maintain the pitch, though. I want it to speed it up, with the video, when I speed up the video. I realize now, from your answer, that the problem is that Preferences has “Maintain Audio Pitch” checked and that’s what’s keeping the sound at the 33% pitch when I speed up the video. When I uncheck that the sound pitch comes up with the video speed, as I want.

Thanks for making me aware there was a Maintain Audio Pitch check box.

I’ve discovered another data point on this issue. If I just hit Return after a bunch of edits and let PP render the timeline, the load on my system isn’t bad. Task Manager still says all 4 CPUs are running are 100% but I’m able to do other work and barely notice that there’s a heavy task also running on the machine. When the load is intrusive is when I ask PP to build and export an mp4 from the timeline.

I’m guessing that the build/export entails a lot of disk activity and that’s the hold up, while the render just spins around inside of memory.

Ok, thanks. I thought a “PAUSE” might at least be available. I knows Windows has ways to suspend threads, and it doesn’t seem that hard for Adobe to connect a PAUSE button to one of them. But I guess not.
Thanks.
