Hi all!
I posted this on the LinkedIn Premiere boards, but no one really had a true answer. Some nice workarounds, but no real solution. I am working on a MacBook Pro 2.7GHz Intel Core i7, 16GB 1600 MHz DDR3 with an NVIDIA geForce GT 650M 1024 MB card.
Premiere CS6 gave me very few issues. Sure, things were slowish, but workable.
With Adobe Premiere CC, I am hostage to ridiculously long render times for videos. I am currently working on a video that is 2:35 long - that's TWO MINUTES AND THIRTY-FIVE SECONDS!! - with three video tracks, two audio tracks and 15 total applied transitions between the tracks. I selected Render In to Out and have now been waiting over fifty minutes for this to complete.
I have over 140GB open space on my machine.
The source file is HD, 1440x1080 MP4. All other files are placed graphics and MP3 for an audio bed.
How does it take over an hour to render a video that is shorter than three minutes?!
Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
