Hi Mike and everybody,
I did some experimenting last night and feel pretty sure that Premiere is indeed letting me know that I really need to invest in a new graphics card or upgrade my system if I don't want to see the yellow bar :) CS4 was just more "polite" and didn't do this. Dropping a clip onto the new sequence icon still shows the yellow bar, so at least I know I'm not making an error with my sequence settings. Opening a CS4 project (with no yellow bar) in CS5.5 gives me the yellow bar. As long as I know there's no error on my part, I will learn to live with it! > I don't think you have to worry about rendering the timeline before > > encoding. Mike, I usually render the timeline just to be able to watch what I've worked on with less computer "churning," for more heavily edited areas, anyway. The previews are not smooth otherwise but I totally expect that with AVCHD and my system specs. I did NOT know that I could go ahead and encode without rendering the timeline first. I have always rendered first, probably as a habit since Premiere 6.0 days. I will try that! Thanks! The Nutcracker performance I'm editing is that of the Chesapeake Ballet Company, in the Annapolis area. You'll think I'm crazy, but I really enjoy this job every year. I have seen the dancers over the years in different roles and enjoy the entire production. The worst thing is that the Nutcracker music plays over and over in my head for days, torturing me until I am finished with the job! :-) Alexandra --- In [email protected], Mike Boom <boom@...> wrote: > > At 12:08 PM 12/12/2011, cloud_nine_video wrote: > >I have two 90-minute Nutcracker shows, with two cameras, and shudder > >to think of the time required just to render the timeline before it > >even gets encoded for output. > > I don't believe you have to render the timeline before encoding, so > it shouldn't be a problem for you.
