LONG rendering times in PP2... « Videomaker Community Forums

Hey all, I'm new to the Lounge but have been working with Premiere Pro for awhile now, upgraded to 2 from 1.5 about 6 months ago and love it until it comes time to render the projects up.Â I export to the encoder, MPEG2-DVD, NTSC DV 4:3 High Quality 7mb CBR 1 pass and it takes an outrageous amount of time.Â For example, I just rendered up a project that is about 7 minutes long, a few photos (low size) a little color correction in the video (brightened it a bit) and this monster took over 5 hours to render!Â What gives? Anyone else experience this and what can be done?Â Am I just stupid? (Don't really answer that part :) ).Â In PP1.5 this would take about 30 minutes tops...any help would be greatly appreciated.

You might need to defrag the computer.

I agree...It should take no longer than 30 minz...It doesn't sound like a problem with premiere.

Are you sure the photos aren't that large...over 720x480?Â If they are, right click on the photo in the timline and check "scale to frame size"...see if this helps...if not, it may be the computer.

Â What are the specs of your computer? If your PC isn't powerful enough, you will get long render times no matter what.

I defrag my PC (maybe the PC part is the problem!) very often.Â Coreece, I think the photos are small (about 600x421). I have a Dell XPS Gen 2 with a 3.2 GHz processor (P4), 2 gig of RAM, XP SP2, two internal hard drives (500gig and 250 gig) and two external of the same, Radeon 9800XT video card, not sure what else to share about my specs...Typically there are about 60 processes running on my machine but I've even tried stopping a lot of them but that doesn't stop the rendering time.Â Thanks for you help!Â Al
