About rendering clips

[thhult]

When you make rendering, manual or background for all clips, save and exit and then start PE again (after removed the process), the same clips must be rendered again.
Have anyone encountered this ?

This definitely shouldn't be the case -- though I'm not sure what is causing it.

What format is the original video?

Are you still having the problem with the exe file not ending and having to kill it with the task manager? If so, this problem may be related. If the process is killed before the files are closed, they won't show up later.

I must admit I get this from time to time on some projects. Haven't worked out what is causing it yet.

I have tried to identify which clips and the cause. All clips as get a red line after insert on timeline have all been asked about Smart Fix. If you answerd Yes the clip get a red line. After rendering the line be green until you restart PE.
All other clip editing retain the rendering status. I have contact Adobe support in Sweden and the have raised it up to Adobe US.

Thats all

Thomas, have you finished the Smart Trim before you rendered? (By either removing the recommended segments or overriding the trim recommendation?)

I just spent 23 minutes rendering the timeline, saved my project, and exited from PRE8. Then I started PRE8, loaded the project, but there was red line all the way across the timeline. This is a DV-AVI widescreen project.

I found that I need to do a "Save as" with a different project filename in order to keep the rendered previews:

1. Start a new project named "My Project 1"
2. Add clip to timeline
3. Edit clip
4. Render preview
5. Save as "My Project 2"

Now when you exit and come back the green line should still be there.

If you add another clip to the timeline, edit it, and render a preview of it, then you need to do another "Save As" to a different file name.

You need to do the "Save As" with a different filename AFTER you have rendered a preview of a clip that hasn't been the subject of a render before now.

Maybe to be safe, just do a "Save As" with a different filename if you have done any rendering since the last save.

EDIT: I had posted this in a different thread by mistake.

Are you opening the original project or the "saved as" project"?

You are using PE 8 trial package, I'm wondering if the purchased version deletes the render files the same way.

Yes, open the "saved as" project, not the original.

Thanks for pointing out that omission.

Going back to Quicktime 7.3.1 seems to have fixed this problem for me.

I read on the Adobe forum that the current versions of Quicktime are causing all kinds of problems.

[Steve Grisetti]

Quicktime AGAIN! What's up with those guys in Cupertino?!

QUICKtime is making my evaluation of PRE8 SLOWtime.


I found a site which has the old versions. I am going to try version 7.6 and work my way backwards from there.

Here's the site:
