Greetings, gang! I've recently noticed an issue with Premiere Pro (CC 2015). When I render a sequence in a project, save the file and exit the program, when I return to that project/sequence, a good portion of the sequence somehow gets "un-rendered." I often work on long seminar sessions, so you can imagine my annoyance at having to "re-render" a 1-1/2 to 2 hour sequence! What a pain and an enormous time suck!!

I saw a tip somewhere, that you could create a new sequence--even leaving it unused--and that would somehow keep the render of any other sequences in the project intact, but the tip doesn't work, so I'm anxious to hear of any other solutions, or if Adobe has some kind of fix to this issue that I don't know about.

Long sequences are very tedious, so anything I can do to cut down on the time it takes to edit them will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to all for your input!

Cheers,

Hi Terry,

I have to ask - do you really need to render the timeline? The only time I ever render is if I've added such heavy effects that I cannot get a decent preview playback to check results. Having a "red bar" does not mean you must render. That is totally optional. I'll have plenty of red areas in my sequence, doesn't matter. I just export at the end and that's that. Content is "rendered" direct to export format at that time, no pre-render is needed.

Thanks

Great pointer Jeff, thanks! I allowed myself to get into "render first" mode, but as you said, the sequence renders as part of an export. You just saved me a step--and a LOT of time, and although it doesn't remedy the issue, it'll not get in the way anymore. Thanks again! ~TW

Hi Terry,

Glad I could help with the workflow.
