Question

Did Premiere Pro (CS6) have issues with Pro Res 4444 - my render freezes?

I'm trying to render out a timeline that has a long 3-hour clip in Pro Res 4444.

I am using CS6.

Were there any known issues with Premiere and 4444?

 

(It freezes, wont get past 0% render, the best I've got it to do is 1-hour, which is a third of the clip length)

This might work:

change your preview format to match your desired output format

Set an in at the beginning of your timeline and an out at the end

render in to out in the sequence menu

If the render of the whole sequence fails, try doing it in sections

Then do your export with the "use previews" option checked.

Just curious, why are you trying to export an uncompressed file?  My understanding is that  prores4444 is "visually lossless"

    edit:  oh, I had to choose CUSTOM in the sequence creation!

    thanks,  

    but its not letting me alter the sequence settings, nor is it giving me access to the video previews when I create a new sequence.

    Its stuck on I-frame MPEG.

    You need to make a new sequence (cannot change excisting one) and set the Editing Mode to Custom. Now you can change the preview format.

      what format are you trying to render out (I'm assuming you mean export)?  Or are you just trying to render the timeline to your preview format for the sequence?  And are you on the mac or pc?

      thanks,

      exporting to Uncompressed MOV Quicktime

      On a PC, rendering the entire timeline

      The 4444 file is 384Gb, the Uncompressed file would be 1.5Tb

      CS6 will import prores but your machine might chock on an 3 hour clip.
