Rendering question for Premier-Pro1.5

[dvxwheelr]

After you have rendered a clip in Premier Pro and you then add a new element to the clip (like a green screen shot), does Premier Pro render the new element only or does it re-render the first clip all over.:dankk2:

it has to re render again, anytime u add an effect to a clip it re renders. Regardless if its just the new part or both, it re renders.

It renders a kind of 'final version' taking all elements into account. The reason for rendering in the first place is that Premiere can't compute fast enough having all of those different elements existing as different elements instead of one video file.

if u have a super fast pc it does render it pretty quick, so. The render times in pro have never bugged me. I hear that p.2.0 is much better tho.

One thing I've found 2.0 to be better for is being able to recognize that it's already rendered something. say you apply a few effects, then later take them off, it does a way better job of hanging onto and remembering those old render files.

If you assemble some elements into a scene then want to add some green screen or text over it, start with the original scene in one sequence then place (nest) that sequence into a new sequence and add the additional elements.

You will probably get a red line above the clip in the timeline and have to hit return to render, but this render is for realtime preview only. Once you've completed your scene when Premiere renders the clip it renders tha additional elements over the nested clip and goes back to the original for the nested clip so the nested clip is not being rendered twice.

I hop that makes it as clear as mud...

I was going to pre-render some clips that I had to slow down and blur for green screen shots. I was going to rename these clips after rendering and then import them as movie clips when I added the green screen shots. If they had to be rendered again after the green screen shots were added, I wouldn't have bothered doing this.
