No. I’m referring to AME – adjusting the bit rates in AME to get a clean render (SD material at about 9 or 10 mbps, most stations want around 10-12).
From PPro I Ctl-M (Export-Media) to AME (I usually don’t have previews, so I don’t use them when rendering – so much is real-time on this system I don’t need to render previews).
Like I posted though, I’ve taken a file that was exported to an Uncompressed avi file and tried to render out an mpeg-2 using AME and had the same results. I don’t know if it is AME itself or the mpeg-2 component causing the issue, but getting a clean mpeg-2 (as a .mpg) render is sometimes difficult.

I’ll add that I am on Win7 64 with CS5 Prod Prem…

Not sure what type of video you will be editing, but you will most likely want to just RAID-0 those video/output drives all together and figure out a backup solution. RAID-1 for video will be pretty slow, especially write speed.
You could always hook them up to your internal SATA ports you have and stripe them there and see what speed you get – it may be fast enough depending on what files you are working with, but a RAID card will most likely give you better results.

If I recall, I got 10.0.1. Adobe update hasn’t told me about any others lately, but I will look.
Thanks for the help.

Yep, know that, can get acceptable results though – I’ve been having a tough time finding a file to convert to that won’t squish these AVID AVI files. I did convert the files to Matrox Uncompressed SD avi and placed those – one squished, one didn’t (wierd). Same crash. Turned off OpenGL. Same crash. I place a text preset on a text layer and hit a preview render – crash. I can make a new comp and have just the text and can put all the presets I want and not have a single crash.

Just did some testing. I think it may have something to do with the DV QT file. It is actually AVID DV file that came from outside source. So I am going to convert to a different file and try it.
Thanks. TC -
It’s just the Foggy preset on the text, along with a drop shadow style.
Looks like it just can’t find a registry entry… I’ll give the OpenGL a shot and see what happens.

Didn’t think about trying a non-Matrox sequence. I’ll give that a shot and see what happens. I’m not getting any line (red or yellow) over my Dynamic Linked AE projects in PPro… and it’s a hassle to try and get one so it will render.

What I would love to see would be an option to right click a portion of the timeline and have a Force Render in the contextual menu. A way to force a green line over any part of the sequence whether PPro thinks it can play it real-time or not.

I take it that the answers are:
1. no
2. no
3. no
Guess I’ll just have to work around those. 1 & 2, easy enough to work around with Bridge. 3, I am surprised if PPro can’t do it. setting a custom TC start time in a sequence shouldn’t be a problem…
