Entire Timeline is Unrendered, but not all projects and sequences are affected.

Report · Apr 21, 2020

When I open a project, many of my sequences are entirely unrendered (displaying the red line).

The media is linked, the thumbnail is visible and it plays through with audio but the program monitor displays Media Pending or shows a scaled down frozen image of one frame from the clip. The bin containing my raw footage and raw audio play fine in the source monitor.

To render these clips using the standard method like "Sequence->Render Selection" would take days or even a week just for one sequence and these are basic raw clips from a RED with very little or no effects.

Some of my projects are having this issue and some are not. The only differnce that I've found so far is projects that were created on Premiere 2019 are not affected.

I'm not sure if this is relevent but most of the sequences affected are very long- about 20-30 mintues and the sequences in the same project that are not affected are very short- about 3 mintues.

I've cleared my cache, done restarts, disabled->enabed clips, cut and extended them- nothing works.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Its a known issue reagrding the Legacy Titles by Adobe. They say they'll fix it in the next version.

To my knowledge there are currenty 3 work-arounds.

1) Use the previous version of Premiere if you can.

2) Don't use any Legacy Titles in the project. If they're already in the project, I don't think it does any good to delete them. The issue still happens for me. But if you start a new project and don't put any in, you should be fine.

3) Go into Project Settings and change your render mode to "Software Only." It will be slower but it will allow you to actually work.

There's a bit more info here if you want to dig some more.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the feedback...I knew about changing the render mode to Software Only but I can't work like that. Its too slow. I will go back to a previous version of premiere, but my problem is that my projects will not open in an older version. I found a work around that is called 7 Zip to extract the project and will allow you to open in an oldeer version of premiere, but I haven't tried yet.

I just deleted the all the legacy titles from the project and premiere is back to normal.
