Way to have smoother editing when using Mogrts?

Hi nicolew42749620,

The Motion Graphics layer and the other layers and clips using effects and transitions may be quite CPU intensive which may cause the frames to be dropped at the time of playback. You may try these steps to optimize the playback on your system.

• Check if the Renderer is set as Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration(FAQ: How to change the Video Renderer in Premiere Pro? ).
• Check the color of the render bar(Red, yellow, and green render bars and what they mean | Adobe Blog ). Usually, if you have a red colored render bar, it's an indication that the system is not able to process the frames in real-time.
• You may reduce the playback resolution by doing a right click on the Program monitor > Playback Resolution and setting a lower value like 1/2 or 1/4. This may result in better playback as it will reduce the processing load on the system. This step usually helps if your media resolution is high and it's getting difficult for the system to process it.
• In case if you have completed the edit/customization of the mogrt, then you may set In and Out points around the mogrt clip and then select Sequence > Render In to Out. This will render that small section and will result in better playback. Please note that if you make any changes to that mogrt , then you will need to render that section again (Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Rendering and previewing sequences ).
• If you are still not getting an acceptable playback then you may try using the Proxy workflow (Work offline using proxy media | ) as recommended by Jim.

Hope it helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

I think most Premiere Pro users are editing with H.264 media.  Cineform proxies are the way to go in that case.

You can also render the segments giving you trouble.
