Ayyy nice. I was pushing this back in the summer, Cineform is great with this :) Also, setting up your project's Scratch folders to a local SSD with help a ton with performance - especially important if you're editing from a NAS and doing this.
It takes hours if you export a long clip at 4k, changing export format to Pro Res 422 HQ and rendering in advance like in this video really exports in seconds/minutes depending on the duration
watching and using this tool in Octuber 2021. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. The final video file size is too big so it's not an option for me. H264 gives me the aproximate final video file size and that's really important when you are trying with long videos. I tried with a 4:27 long video. With H264 in medium bitrate gave me a 7 GB file. For H264, just for the first 20 minutes it gave me a 16GB file. Hope it works my experience.
I found a way to export even faster. There's an export plugin called Voukoder that lets you dump straight to FFmpeg without a frameserver, and that means you can use AMD AMF or Nvidia NVENC acceleration for H.264 video encoding.
I'm just finished editing a 30 minutes short film and tried doing this for sending to a client. And of course it works. It works so beautiful. And it also works for a musicvideo with effects and all that. So thx again buddy!
Andres Olsen Hey, I have a 36 minutes wedding video I’m trying to export and I’m only just doing the first part at 3:12. It started around 30 minutes ago and it’s saving I’ve got 2 hours and 20 minutes left. Is that how long it’s supposed to take?
I was taught some time ago to always export with 'Time Interpolation' set to 'Optical Flow'. You have yours set to 'Frame Sampling'. What effect does either setting have on the exported video? TIA
This option is only relevant if your sequence doesn't match your export. For something like a 24fps sequence that you're exporting at 24fps, it won't make any difference. If you are exporting at a different frame rate, then the option you choose will tell Premiere how to deal with the odd frames - just like when you choose time interpolation for individual clips in your sequence.
Please correct me if I'm wrong but this seems misleading. Use previews has been around longer than smart render. One uses the preview files pre rendered as you explained, but smart render talks about the "source" clips. So the time saved could be a actually rendering the preview ( or on final export not using previews) which you didn't test. Easy mistake to make if I'm right. Looks like a combination of these is best I would say shooting in one of the supported formats is the ideal workflow solution to take advantage.?
Well, yeah. You can definitely just upload your smart rendered ProRes file. It will be of higher quality than a H.264 file. It's going to take longer and take more drive space, though. No big whoop, as you can delete it after you upload. That's what I do and get lots of compliments on my quality. Alternatively, you can take the ProRes master and create H.264 copies if you need them for a website or what have you. The encoding from ProRes to 264 will go quickly as there is no effects processing going on.
First, Im using Windows. Second, when I apply color grad, sharpening and all that weird effects the rendering in timeline becomes eternal, so I think in lightweight fast proyects this may works, but when its a heavy processed project I have my doubt
Bru... it has been 2 days figuring out why some layers in my after effects comp doesn't show in the comp 2 Or after rendering, it only shows the background
try rendering with software rendering, sometimes the mercury engine using graphic cards will have problems with more complex comp, also make sure the layers are visible in comp (little eye button on the left side)
It would be great, if pr would have the background rendering. In this case u have to render it first, then export. Which is going to take the same time in total.
@@missioncreekstyle3814 And a sorta thumbnail preview down the clip, like a 1 long clip could have more segments in it so you know roughly where to start editing.
Would those settings still apply to a sequence of 1920 x 1080, or do i have to change the quicktime codec to something else, I get this makes it faster for a footage of 4k but I have a video 40 min on HD
But you spend time rendering the timeline? So when you add that to the final export, doesn't that kind of offset time saved? And because you've switched your preview files to 4k quicktime files, doesn't that also slow down rendering your timeline?
You only pay the render tax if you do it at the end of your editing process. Most editors "render as they go." Like at lunch, when you get up for a break, overnight, etc. By the time you are ready to export the rendering is already near completion in most cases. 4K QuickTime ProRes previews have much better performance than H.264 4K files, in my experience. That said, you should have a fast set of media drives that should handle that task pretty easily. The real win is fixing mistakes quickly and only paying a small penalty for rendering only that small section. Nathaniel goes into that a bit. Come back with any other questions, Dank!
@@dabuchrister Very. Well. Said, Christer. I heartily agree. I no longer edit for a living, I actually work at Adobe now, however, I still edit my own projects. I tend to need access to revisions as well, since I make small errors or don't like spots of my edit during watchdown. Of course, I need to render again, but I'd rather it take seconds rather than another hour. We need more tuts like this, Nathaniel. Great job!
The main point of this tutorial is if you have an extremely big file to render. If you do whats in the tutorial and then find a mistake in the project, you can easily fix it and save lots of time.
Mission Creek Style I always thought using the previews is a lower quality by the nature of how premiere saves the previews compared to the export at the end?
I still don't get the point of pre-rendering and using previews as a way to speed up the export when... you still have to wait for it to pre-render. Wouldn't it amount to the same time anyway, pre-render + export w/ previews? Rendering is great for playing back the timeline in real-time in though! Great video, super articulate, fast-paced and NO wasted time. I wish more UA-camrs took a page from your book!
It was usefull but it is harder to playback now. Cuz in my 4k project premiere was playing back the timeline in 1080 as default. But since we turned it to 4k it is harder to playback now.
Thanks for sharing this. I need to dig into this when using different camera types for a timeline. Probably won't work if I'm understanding this correctly.
What kind of witchcraft is this???? A 25 seconds test clip went from 23 seconds render time down to less than 5 seconds!!!!! 😳😳😳 Thanks man!! you really saved us a ton of time!!!
Hi Nate, I edit on PC and I was following your tuto on Smart Rendering, but I don't have the (Apple ProRes 4:22 HQ) Codec on my Premiere Pro. The Q is, how do I get it??
But on exporting ur video,i ddnt see u punching those mixumum render quality boxes 🙂🙂 dont u see it will reduce ur video quality,and also it will br fast as there is no muximum quality,jus askin🙏🏻🙏🏻
Test Cinegy Daniel 2 Codec vs Voukoder 1.1.1. Both of them used Nvenc to output H264 and H265 videos up to 4K and can decrease rendering time to at least 2-5 time. I have been using them personally but I'd love an in-depth comparison along with Premiere Pro default codec. PS. don't forget to test out 4k 60fps HEVC performance. Thanks
It is a good tip and it works...only issue is that a 9 min video using 264 will render in 10 minutes and output a roughly 700 meg file, while using your method the render is 15G in size. While it will render in 20 seconds after, a considerable savings of 9 minutes and 40 seconds, you will still need to run this through Handbrake to bring the size down and this process will take about 5 minutes. But in all you will have saved 5 minutes... but you still need to render the original with your method and this will take the same amount of time it would have needed originally.
As a PremPro newly you've saved me a ton of time. The project was going just fine but the render was going to take over 9 hours. Following your video it took less than 9 minutes! Thanks fella!
The self-defeating thing about smart rendering is keeping the codec and sizes the same throughout the workflow. That means you're exporting to a format that ultimately you're not going to be able to deliver. I mean, so what if it exported quickly? I'm still going to have to transcode it to H. 264 1080p to deliver it. That's going to take as much time as it would have taken just simply exporting it from the timeline in that format.
I don't have that experience, Stan. I find that the transcode to H.264 to be pretty fast and very reliable. When you offload all the effects processing to preview files, it's much faster than a standard way of exporting. Since you're scaling, make sure you've got a powerful GPU to make that process go faster.
new to Premiere Pro here. Question: will this work if im rendering Iphone11 videos (codecs: AAC, Timed Metadata, HEVC) or do i even need this to speed up rendering/exporting? This quarantine just made me wanting to create a 4-6 minute videos of our previous travels and im loving the Premiere Pro 2020 so far minus the lag. Thanks in advance

Thanks for this but you rendering the timeline is an added step you didn't do in the "render before" ... If you add the time it takes to pre render plus the time it takes to export, isn't it the same? It's doing the same amount of computation... I mean I get that you don't have to reprender pieces you don't change in your timeline but your base export times are the same no?
@@missioncreekstyle3814 I just followed this tutorial and it was the same render time with and without checking "use previews". H264 actually rendered faster. Any thoughts on why? Would it be because I'm doing prores on windows?
@@CodyPyper Actually, 1 year ago I don't think Premiere Pro had Quick Sync support on Intel Procs. H.264 with no effects could potentially be much faster. I might change my tune a bit these days, depending on your workflow.
It would've been really nice if Premiere Pro had included H.264 codec in Sequence Settings and people can render in and out while working on their project. Unfortunately the option is not available hence mp4 format cannot be exported using Match Sequence Settings and Use Previews. With QuichTime the file size is way way bigger offering the same quality picture like H.264, and that's not good. In other words most of those who upload to UA-cam or Vmeo can't take advantage of the faster rendering in the end because they would like small file sizes with mp4 extension to upload fast...obviously.
This woudlnt work for a final export, right? As h264 is not supported as a codec on the sequence settings (tried to export a prores 422 as a final, but it was almost 8 times as heavy as a h264)
I'm trying to render and export video from Premiere Pro CC. All my video files in Premiere are imported comps from After Effects. Its taking forever to do anything. A 10 minute video is taking hours to render and export. How do you solve THIS problem?
Hello Nathaniel, I hope you can help me, I have been struggling with my slow Premiere to the point it drives me crazy, I followed all of your suggestions, I adjusted all of my preferences in the program itself to make it efficient (allotted memory usage, etc etc....) and a 2 1/2 minute clip takes my computer about 30 minutes to render the sequence and about 40 minutes to export !!! and here is the kicker, I have a 2019 IMac with a i9 8 core processor AND 64GB RAM, this machine is a real BEAST. Please help. this is nuts !!
When i used vegas it must do rendering process before exporting, but when i use premiere pro now i confuse why exporting just encode and done. But now i know how to render with premiere pro. I dont know if i miss a step in premiere pro tutorial, but i think i followed the tutorial carefully and there is no need to render the video
Does anyone know why if I try to render previews, Premiere just plays back the timeline instead of rendering? It renders if the timeline is red but if its yellow it just plays it...
Hi, I have one doubt. I have 4K video can i set sequence in 1080 to edit and preview after that is possible to render in 4k, If can it still preserve the 4K quality.
Hi, These Preview codecs are way to high in bitrate than my org footage, and I am never looking out to render that high. I work with many 1-4mbps footaage mainly but timeline is around 2-3 hours long. Can you suggest me a preview codec that encodes in 2-4mbps range? BTW I love you speed and clarity. Thanks.
Hey , the video was very useful for encoding quickly. Also can you make one video for uploading mov file to youtube quickly ... As it is taking lot of time while doing so and also if it is converted to mp4 by vlc some videos couldnt be processed by youtube. Please reply
Thank you for this tutorial! So useful! I actually render my footage piece by piece when I am satisfied of my work. I would rather wait a few minutes a couple of times than a whole hour :)
ok, we got the posibilite to work whit proxy's, ant to render it faster we only need to change the sequences settings, render in and out when we're done, match the sequences setting, check out everything is the same, and it'd be faster than before whit the same good quality we expected... did I understood?
Man this is a game changer for me as I'm editing with a 4 year old macbook pro and the exporting seems to take for ever! 😂Thank you so much for this tip! 🙏
I can see the benefit, once your video frames are rendered (and, sure, that render time is not going away, you're just moving up earlier in your workflow) you can continue to edit and revise your edits and drafts. As a test I just Rendered on the timeline a 6 minute video of 4k video with Lumetri color correction. There was about 25 minutes of rendering required. But then I can tweak and revise the order of the close clips, add music, adjust audio levels, etc. then render out new drafts for client review in our 90 seconds.
The one thing I'm still not clear on is what effect this workflow has on my proxy files? Am I no longer seeing or using the proxies in my workflow, even with the Proxy button is enabled on my program monitor?
This workflow will not work with proxies, unless you plan to render from your lesser quality proxy files.. because to take advantage of this you need to work with the original source files
Lauri Inki Are you saying that if I use previews with H.264 and my own quality settings, it would still use the previews I rendered out with 422 Pro Res HQ?
What if you can ONLY shoot in MP4? I have Canon Rebel T6i and SL2...and import as MP4 into Premiere...can you still convert the sequence and preview files to Apple ProRes 422 HQ? Additionally, will the final export of an MOV be good for any client? Of course, I'm asking in General but if they want to view the final export on their PC, they won't be able to cuz it's an MOV. But they can upload it anywhere and watch it then. Thank you!
Hi . Your tutorial is what I need but after following the steps I still have a super slow Premiere (mine is version 2019). I am playing with a 5 minutes clip. When I exported the before smart rendering following your steps the export time was 2 and half HOURS . When I did the sequence In to Out the rendering processes takes almost 2 HOURS. this is frustrating. Do you have an idea what is going on. I cannot have a 5 minute clip take more than two hours to export. That is crazy. Thanks for your help !
Great! I’ve been doing this for a while but wasn’t to sure If it makes a difference to the export time so thanks a lot for approving that it does! 👍 Might need to make another 1 min tutorial about this 🤔
Hi sir, thank you, this is comparatively faster than h264’s timeline render, Although, is “pro res 422 hq” the fastest option Or is there anything faster than this? All I need is: 1. faster render duration 2. low file size (to be able to send via WhatsApp) My observations: •WhatsApp on phone supports up to 16mb •WhatsApp on PC supports up to 64mb My video is about an hour long with file size approximately 5gb
but when you went to the sequence setting and changed the preview from 1080p to 4k, does it make it slower to edit the video since you are now seeing the raw 4k footage while editing? would this cause more cpu usage than before?
Man, I love ur videos, huge thanks for making them. Every time I'm looking for a solution ur short and on-point videos are there. I'll test this method soon, thanks again!

do you know where does the pre-renders render to? does it cost additional files to be store in the computer?
Hello I like the faster rendering.
I have a question.
How do you that magnifying circle in your vids?
Thx
Have a great 2019💥
I believe it's built in to his screencap app.
It would've been really nice if Premiere Pro had included H.264 codec in Sequence Settings and people can render in and out while working on their project. Unfortunately the option is not available hence mp4 format cannot be exported using Match Sequence Settings and Use Previews. With QuichTime the file size is way way bigger offering the same quality picture like H.264, and that's not good. In other words most of those who upload to UA-cam or Vmeo can't take advantage of the faster rendering in the end because they would like small file sizes with mp4 extension to upload fast...obviously.
Yes. Thank you. That makes my life so much better when trying to export
maximum depth and render quality on?
This woudlnt work for a final export, right? As h264 is not supported as a codec on the sequence settings (tried to export a prores 422 as a final, but it was almost 8 times as heavy as a h264)
I'm trying to render and export video from Premiere Pro CC. All my video files in Premiere are imported comps from After Effects. Its taking forever to do anything. A 10 minute video is taking hours to render and export. How do you solve THIS problem?
Hello Nathaniel, I hope you can help me, I have been struggling with my slow Premiere to the point it drives me crazy, I followed all of your suggestions, I adjusted all of my preferences in the program itself to make it efficient (allotted memory usage, etc etc....) and a 2 1/2 minute clip takes my computer about 30 minutes to render the sequence and about 40 minutes to export !!! and here is the kicker, I have a 2019 IMac with a i9 8 core processor AND 64GB RAM, this machine is a real BEAST. Please help. this is nuts !!
How does this effect quality ?
What format comes out when you do the Apple Pro Res 422 HD ? e.g. file extension ?
Thanks! I’ve been sitting around for over an hour each time
When i used vegas it must do rendering process before exporting, but when i use premiere pro now i confuse why exporting just encode and done. But now i know how to render with premiere pro. I dont know if i miss a step in premiere pro tutorial, but i think i followed the tutorial carefully and there is no need to render the video
Does anyone know why if I try to render previews, Premiere just plays back the timeline instead of rendering? It renders if the timeline is red but if its yellow it just plays it...
I have a late 2015 5k iMac with 1TB fusion drive and it still exports at about 10 minutes with these settings. Could you help me? Any tips?
Hi, I have one doubt. I have 4K video can i set sequence in 1080 to edit and preview after that is possible to render in 4k, If can it still preserve the 4K quality.
Hi, These Preview codecs are way to high in bitrate than my org footage, and I am never looking out to render that high. I work with many 1-4mbps footaage mainly but timeline is around 2-3 hours long. Can you suggest me a preview codec that encodes in 2-4mbps range? BTW I love you speed and clarity. Thanks.
I heard the previews are a lower quality than the main render during export.
Is that true?
I used H.264 And i only needed to wait 53 minutes, but when i put quicktime with apple pro res i got 1hour and 54 minutes
I m here because my video had so many effects and I had no time u saved my life bro good bless u
Hey , the video was very useful for encoding quickly. Also can you make one video for uploading mov file to youtube quickly ... As it is taking lot of time while doing so and also if it is converted to mp4 by vlc some videos couldnt be processed by youtube. Please reply
what if you are using windows 10 ...how do you set it up
Thank you for this tutorial! So useful! I actually render my footage piece by piece when I am satisfied of my work. I would rather wait a few minutes a couple of times than a whole hour :)
ok, we got the posibilite to work whit proxy's, ant to render it faster we only need to change the sequences settings, render in and out when we're done, match the sequences setting, check out everything is the same, and it'd be faster than before whit the same good quality we expected... did I understood?
Man this is a game changer for me as I'm editing with a 4 year old macbook pro and the exporting seems to take for ever! 😂Thank you so much for this tip! 🙏
I edit on a 7 years old iMac. Just rendering a 17minutes vlog and it says it will take 4 hours to render.
I can see the benefit, once your video frames are rendered (and, sure, that render time is not going away, you're just moving up earlier in your workflow) you can continue to edit and revise your edits and drafts. As a test I just Rendered on the timeline a 6 minute video of 4k video with Lumetri color correction. There was about 25 minutes of rendering required. But then I can tweak and revise the order of the close clips, add music, adjust audio levels, etc. then render out new drafts for client review in our 90 seconds.
The one thing I'm still not clear on is what effect this workflow has on my proxy files? Am I no longer seeing or using the proxies in my workflow, even with the Proxy button is enabled on my program monitor?
This workflow will not work with proxies, unless you plan to render from your lesser quality proxy files.. because to take advantage of this you need to work with the original source files
Dude, you can use the "use preview" with any format
Lauri Inki Are you saying that if I use previews with H.264 and my own quality settings, it would still use the previews I rendered out with 422 Pro Res HQ?
@@RobDonaldson I don't think that would work, but good to give it a shot. I use myself the UA-cam format preset with little tweaks.
I want to Render the video without encoding. I mean I don't care about size I want faster render than I will render that big file in Vegas Pro.
what do you think is the best setting for full HD as my DSLR cannot shoot 4k? Thank you!
Thanks for your great advice, I am hopeful that Adobe will include export to DCP for Adobe Encoder next!
Hey Nathaniel why does my video play back choppy after rendering? It doesn’t play back smoothly until I’ve exported. Thanks
Try the proxy workflow. You are probably using H.264 Long GOP 4K. That's tough for any computer to decode, TBH.
Resolution
Does this work with the Snyder Cut
What if you can ONLY shoot in MP4? I have Canon Rebel T6i and SL2...and import as MP4 into Premiere...can you still convert the sequence and preview files to Apple ProRes 422 HQ? Additionally, will the final export of an MOV be good for any client? Of course, I'm asking in General but if they want to view the final export on their PC, they won't be able to cuz it's an MOV. But they can upload it anywhere and watch it then. Thank you!
My video is 1hr long and i want to export in youtube 4k ultra hd and how much time it take in hpz800
Hi . Your tutorial is what I need but after following the steps I still have a super slow Premiere (mine is version 2019). I am playing with a 5 minutes clip. When I exported the before smart rendering following your steps the export time was 2 and half HOURS . When I did the sequence In to Out the rendering processes takes almost 2 HOURS. this is frustrating. Do you have an idea what is going on. I cannot have a 5 minute clip take more than two hours to export. That is crazy. Thanks for your help !
Great! I’ve been doing this for a while but wasn’t to sure If it makes a difference to the export time so thanks a lot for approving that it does! 👍 Might need to make another 1 min tutorial about this 🤔
Hi sir,
thank you,
this is comparatively faster than h264’s timeline render,
Although,
is “pro res 422 hq” the fastest option
Or
is there anything faster than this?
All I need is:
1. faster render duration
2. low file size (to be able to send via WhatsApp)
My observations:
•WhatsApp on phone supports up to 16mb
•WhatsApp on PC supports up to 64mb
My video is about an hour long with file size approximately 5gb
still cant find the ProRes 422 (HQ) on my premiere CC.
Hey Nat, do you experience colorshift when exporting your files on Mac?
hi mr , hwo do u make this zoom circle ?
Can you adjust the bit rates of the preview files so that the final exported video would be higher in quality?
i want to ask. i'm newbie in Pr pro CC, so, if i use this technique, is there gonna be " a lot " of cache cause i pre render my project ?
Amazing, Really helpful! Thanks Bro!
but when you went to the sequence setting and changed the preview from 1080p to 4k, does it make it slower to edit the video since you are now seeing the raw 4k footage while editing? would this cause more cpu usage than before?
Excellent idea I will give it a try. Normally I export by starting it and either going to dinner or hitting the sack.
This is the most helpful thing I've ever found on the internet! Thanks!
When using the smart rendering, how do you know if the preview files are in best quality when you use them to export the final video?
What Should i?
Render in to out or render effect in to out?
ı have made render in to out and it worked.
Man, I love ur videos, huge thanks for making them. Every time I'm looking for a solution ur short and on-point videos are there. I'll test this method soon, thanks again!
