    Premiere is very slow to export when title is added

      Hello.

       

      I have a 60 second piece of media that is the header for all my exports. It consists of 30 seconds of bars/tone, 27 secs of a moving clock and then 3 secs of black. It was supplied as MXF OP1a and is 376 MB.

       

      On each export I overlay text to the 27 seconds of clock for versions, durations etc. To export this takes about 5 minutes and it appears to be the text that is the problem. If I remove the text, the export of just the remaining parts takes about 10 seconds.

       

      I've tried it direct from Premiere and via encoder and it's the same.

       

      When I have 40 items to export with the header it adds massively to the export time. Some items are 30" spots and it's always the clock text that takes up the time.

       

      I have tried pre-rendering the text but this would have to be done on each export sequence and is not a great workflow.

       

      Someone suggested making the text in After Effects but again that is not a great workflow. I would rather have this self contained within the project.

       

      Is this normal for premiere? I've searched the forum and cannot find a similar thread.

       

      Premiere 7.2.1

      OSX 10.9.2

      3.06 GHz Intel Core Duo

      16GB RAM (late 2009 mac with extra RAM added)

      Mercury Playback Software Only

       

      I'm not sure the mac is relevant. I have tried this on a new 27 inch mac with 32 GB RAM and CUDA and the slowdown is still there.

       

      Thanks for any help.
