need to view clip backwards smoothly

[Steve Zeeeee]

It IS reversed, but playback is spotty.  Really need normal viewing experience please?

NO render routine has succeeded so far.  Do I have to ship it out as a finished item

and bring it back in? etc.??

Thanks

[Meg The Dog]

What version of Premiere?

What is your computer hardware and operating system?

How are your drives allocated?

What are the properties of your source media?

What are your sequence settings?

Thanks for helping!

Below is all data required.

All drives internal

PPro 2017 v11.0

scratch disk 4200 GB eSATA internal software raid 0

source properties:

[Steve Zeeeee]

oh yeah, after numerous renders it finally might play, and then

just add a keyframe or do ANYTHING and the problem starts all over again.

[Meg The Dog]

As a test, convert a camera source file to ProRes, then create a test project placing that converted file on an appropriate timeline with the Video Preview file format set to the same ProRes properties  - and see if you get better performance.

My suspicion is that the highly compressed nature of the MPEG source files may be overtasking your workstation.

[Steve Zeeeee]

ok, but I've not been so jammed up with this work flow in the past.

Plus, it's only a 2 minute film with 5  clips

[Steve Zeeeee]

That conversion has to be out of PPro, right?

And if the test is good, can that import to the

original sequence? Killer,  it's my last clip of

the project.

Export a digital intermediate and use that.

yeah i knew I could do that but isnt that a bad crutch

to get used to?

Not at all. Its a standard edit practice that is logical and efficient.

You have spent more time discussing this and you could have had it done days ago!  Ha.

[Steve Zeeeee]

yeah but i like to get definitive answers

yes tho I wonder why just adding a key frame

requires a complete render to function.

OK I went to adobe media encoder and cannot find apple pro res in any of the encoding lists?

Also, why are there so many "match source"?

If you are matching source, there is no encoding to do

cuz the source is what we are trying to leave behind?

You will have to import the ProRes presets into AME.

The latest set is here and referenced as CC2014 but works for later versions as well

[Steve Zeeeee]

holy cow it took ame 1.5 minutes to load a zillion things,

and then they leave off the presets????  and dont tell us?

weird

[Kib]

I guess because they are Mac only Presets

[Steve Zeeeee]

more weird is i know i've found them in there before

a few months ago.

and aren't i getting the mac version  in the first place

in the subscription package?

thanks for answering

[Kib]

They need reloaded with each version of AME -- hence I always check the AME page for latest copy -- and link to those for you.

[Kib]

Oh, subscription is not platform dependent unless educational device based-- but I get that if you are installing on a Mac perhaps they could be smart bundled.

and odd again is only the ProRes presets are in that bundle.  Why would media encoder have bunches and bunches of presets but just not those?

O

ugh, that was terrible too.

I'm still one clip away from finishing this movie.

[Peru Bob]

Try it in After Effects and see if the results are better.

[Steve Zeeeee]

what does that say if it works better there?
