    Long time for Adobe Media Encoder to encode 3 minute video

    reindeer4 Community Member

      I created a Premiere Pro project with a dynamic link to Adobe After effects (both CS4 versions).

      Upon finishing this PremPro project which is a 3 minute song with 3d animation playing in the background, I chose Export Media.

       

      Since first try was taking a long time (15 minutes and little progress), I removed the 3 transitions I had in my Premiere Pro Project, reduced the audio from 128 to 64 bit, decreased the bit rate to its lowerst 56 kbps instead of the default which is something like 1000-2000 kbps I believe (Please let me know default value so I can reset it ) and reduced video size from 960 x 620 to 380 x 244.  I also shut all of my programs that could be chewing up significant memory.

       

      I'm just looking for a rough feel of how things will look so only wanted to start with a 'draft quality' render of my flv - but the Adobe Media Encoder is still saying it will take 1 and a half hours, and this is on a 64 bit, Win 7 system with lots of RAM (24GB) and plenty of hard drive space.

       

      The actual After Effects compositions are fairly complex, with numerous 3d animations superimposed on one another, but I wasn't sure if this sluggishness suggested something was wrong that I need to correct to get quicker performance, or if it's simply a reflection of a complicated scene, and that's how long things will take even at those very minimal settings.

       

      Thanks for any suggestions.
