Greetings and salutations -- hope someone can help me, here. I'm at my wit's end. I'm in mid-vid right now, and Premiere "encounters a problem" and hangs every time it tries to render the entire thing. It's been occasionally spotty in the past, but now it simply cannot get to the end of the vid, and I'm ready to throw my computer out the window.
Does anyone know of a way for me to work around this that doesn't involve using other vidding software? Is there a way for me to render it piecemeal and then use VirtualDub or something like that to stitch the bits together? Will this cause a bobble or hiccup in the music or video?
I'm really at my wit's end. ANY help or suggestions that don't involve me having to stop using Premiere would be greatly appreciated.

There is also the potential problem of size issues if you are exporting a large lossless file - namely if using Win98 and/or a FAT32 file system which both have limitations on maximum file size.
The simple answer to all these problems is, as you guessed, sectional exporting.
There are other solutions but those are for when this doesn't work :)

I've completed three sections of the vid -- the intro, a bit of the middle, and the end. When I'd only completely intro and end, it exported fine. Now that I've filled in some of the middle, it's barfing on export at the end, in a section it used to export without complaint.
Is there anything special I should be doing to avoid laying a codec down on it for a second time when using VirtualDub? I should have been more complete in my description -- it's horking on export, not in the rendering, I'm putting a Divx 5.1.1 codec on it, and it never used to barf at that point before.
I'm concerned that if I export with a 5.1.1. codec, then re-save it in VDub, it'll get a codec on it twice.

The lossless file will be very large but there are some benefits - it is good for archiving and you can do 2-pass encoding of the divx file to get better quality.

Date: 2004-09-03 12:45 pm (UTC)One of mine continually crashed at a certain point in the timeline when I was doing 'render timeline' to view the whole vid in Premiere (I know what the effects were that were doing it, but removing those effects wasn't an option), but exported to avi just fine, no hiccups.
So the only issue became "How do I render the vid enough to see my effects and such in the non-problem area" and the solution to that was "Move the work area to before the problem section. Render. Move the work area to after the problem section. Render. Move the work area to cover the whole timeline. Export."

I hope something helps!
