Okay i just finished my amv in premiere pro (1 1/2 minute long) and then i'm exporting it. I followed the guide to exporting in premeire to the word but the rendering time is 4:09:35

I mean 4 hours for a 1 1/2 minute video is insane. Someone help!

If there is a lot of effects, that sounds about right. Go get a snack or something. Play a console game.

WTF not only is it taking really long but the size is 36 GB... i mean 36 gigabytes for 1 movie. That's crazy. I don't have that much space. I only have about 10 gigs remaining. (yes i'm getting an additional hard drive) but for now 36 is HUGE!!! i don't think it's putting effects in it caused it to be sooo big. Anyone have an idea? I mean... how are you supposed to compress something that's 36 GB to 100 MB or less?

not just that but it still has about 1 hour of rendering left to do... it's at 40 gigs now. by the time this finishes i doubt i'll have even 1 MB left... someone, anyone... who knows what's going on here? Has this happened to anyone before?

If your exporting the video uncompressed you'll get huge files... try exporting in HuffYUV and you probably won't have such large filesize problems... Also, 36GB to 100MB or less is rather easy given a good XviD compress...

Uncompressed video is like saving a number of pictures equal to your output ressolution * your fps rate * the video length in seconds + a little extra for uncompressed audio; so a 90 second video at about 30fps would be the same as saving 2700 pictures at the video's resolution size. That's a lot of data.

36 GB sounds too big for a general minute and a half video.

Whats your export's
-Frame rate?
-Video resolution?
-Compression?

Double check your timeline. If you've plopped any media file down on the timeline, the final export in the Entire Sequence render will render up until the last frame of the last media file placed on the timeline.
Reference.

Use the workbar and hover it over the 1 1/2 minute time period in the timeline and try exporting the video set to "Work Bar Area" rather than "Entire Sequence."

srry for being a total n00b and pain in the @$$ but how do you export in HuffYUV?

§Daisuke · Post by **§Daisuke** » Sun Apr 17, 2005 6:20 pm

nvm i know and ya i was compressing with HuffYUV but it was still 36-40 gigs!!!

Frame Rate - 24 fps
Video Resolution - 720x480
Compressor - Huffyuv v2.1.1 - CCESP Patch v0.2.5

Did you try/make sure what I told you?

Tell me what the work bar area render came up with.
