CS6 Export at DVinfo.net

Robert Bale · September 13th, 2012, 02:47 AM

Hi, i am working my way through CS6 slowly, i am having one problem , thats is on export, when i used FCP i could do a full wedding, the go file export current settings, and out put the HD QT file,ProRes Lt (to Keep for Backup) it only took about 20mins for a 1hr wedding. Now is CS6 if i try to export something HD QT File its wanting to take 5 hrs . This can't be right, ?? can it. Or should i export a HQ Vimeo setting and Keep it on File ?

The only time i need to re use the master HD QT File, is if i have deleted the original footage , and the bride called me 2 months later and lets me know she wants something fixed or cut out. I normally just open a new FCP sequence, and drop the HD File onto the time line, fix what i need to fix, and re burn her a new DVD.
I hope that makes sense, sorry to bug you all about it but i can't seem to work out how or which way to do this.

Notes, i am not using Previews or Maximum Render setting

try going through with the export. I've had many situations (in a lot of programs including FCP) where the render time is estimated at 3 hour or so, when in fact 30 minutes later, the render is done.

If it actually takes 3 hours, then you have a problem.

No, the rendering is for playback while you're editing. AME will do whatever rendering is needed when you export.

OK, I ll have a look.

Just a guess ... It might depend on what kind of files you're editing. In FCP I edit Pro Res files. Therefore to export to Quicktime (if export settings are set to ProRes), it's fast since there is no conversion. However, in Premiere I have been editing the h.264 files. If I output to ProRes, Premiere (or Media Encoder) has to convert them.

Also, 5 hours to render a one hour video actually seems pretty fast. I imagine it would take just as long to convert it to Vimeo quality.

Hi Tom, yes spot on, Vimeo settings is long as well.,this is the only think that bugs me, the time it takes, when i am so use to FCP, and ProRes, i am going to try a do a All XDCAM EX Time line next and see how long it takes. There will be not transcoding needed.

Also is there a way to add a watermark logo in adobe media encoder, saves adding to the time line.
