THANKS!
😃 To all the wonderful people who have supported VideoRevealed 😃
You're almost a 100K Colin! I can't wait to be part of this milestone, thank you for your awesome Adobe content.
Yes, I'm so excited because it's been a long haul to get here and I appreciate everyone who has helped us in our journey.
Greatest video about Preview Concept in PP. I didn't know any of these. You are a True human being, A life saver indeed ...
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thanks Colin, saved me again! You're awesome. So concise and informative. I'd accidentally changed my video file preview format, which filled up my scratch disk which stopped my overnight render.
Glad it helped!
This is truly one of the best informative videos about Premiere pro out here.
Thanks for covering this topic, Colin
Really great video. I have a question - I edit on an SSD drive, with an M.2 for cache. Is there any benefit to changing Video/Audio Preview location to a faster M.2 drive, separate from the drive containing the project and RAW files?
Thank you Colin, for your excellent coverage on using Preview files
when exporting prores: ( sequence settings identical Prores already)
I"ll make sure I click the "match source" in the exporting panel to be 100% sure with "using previews"
all the best
I'm glad you found it useful.
So, I have a big project and my PRV files are over 200gb. If I delete all of them, I will be okay and PP will generate new ones as needed? Or should I just delete the older ones and keep the most recent? (I’m a little thick, so apologies in advance.)
Do I need to save Preview Files after I've uploaded my video to RUclips?
I am happy to hit the heart$ for you if you can answer this for me... Thank you Colin, I have a Discovery Channel export preset that I have to use for our show to them. I never render, when I am finished project I just export with the designated preset to their FTP site... question is does it matter if my video preview is set to Iframe only mpeg? That seems quicker to view clips and sections of my timeline than pro res quicktime, etc...
Nicely explained. Love what you do.
Thanks, Colin. Well presented and informative. I appreciate your enthusiasm when sharing your knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Heya! Hoping you can help. I cannot export my film. Always stuck at 0%. I've tried so many things (everything I can find on youtube) but nothing works. I'm wondering if its the render/preview files? As I've noticed these files are in several different folders. Probably because of creating new versions and importing timelines to new projects. Perhaps having them all in the same folder will make it work? Is it really safe to delete all the preview/render files?? I've tried rendering my timeline from scratch but when I open it back up, I get that box which says many of the render files are missing and located somewhere else. Many thanks indeed!!
Than you for your work :). What is the best video preview if i want to export in H264? I'm doing a render for the whole preview. What preview formats should I choose to export faster?
When I go to my files and try to play the video I edited it's not supported what application do you use btw I have windows 11 how can I fix this
Did the "Use Video Previews" go away in the Export settings in PP 2023? I'm not seeing it. Thanks!
Thank you Sir, this video really helped me this morning!
Hey Colin, great video. Question if I may, if you are using a different preview file format to what your footage is (say iFrame instead of ProRes 422) could this explain why there can be a difference in colour when you've rendered? I use a lot of colour effects and I notice I can sometimes get a different looking image to the one that is displayed pre-render. Never thought of it before, but perhaps using a lower quality preview could be the reason why.......thoughts?
I have an export LUT that fixes that. Let me know if you want it
@@mattm7426thanks chief, I know the Lut you're talking about I got that. I actually have solved things by just getting a decent monitor which displays REC709 so my workspace matches the exports
@@mattyrossfilms Nice one. Glad it worked out
my priview file is 125 gb which is too big what happen if i delete them ? am i gonna miss file from the project
Hello Again Colin.
When exporting as avi lagarith or uncompressed which is lossless.
I check use preview files, I am rendering with pro res 422 which makes lossy mov files
Does that mean my lossless output will be lossy?
I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish. Lossless workflows don't exist in the video world. You media is lossy to start. With any camera. The movies we watch on the big screen are lossy.
If you want the absolute best image quality, then use what the VFX guys use - OpenEXR. BUT, that format exports individual frames with no audio. You'll need a ton of storage and nothing will play it back in real time.
So my recommendation is to import your media. Work in a Sequence that reflects your export format. And when you're ready, export to that format. That will give you the best quality.
@@VideoRevealed Look At It This Way.
You may have an unsupported Premiere file eg mkv or just to heavy to handle like hevc h.265.
(My Videos Are Downloaded Not Recorded)
Therefore you convert it to h264 which is lossy, with the audio as aac pass through or copy which is lossless.
Import the mp4 into Premiere, Cut it subtitles, change colours etc.
Sequence Preview Format Apple Prorez Anything
Then have the Export format as avi lagarith or uncompressed which is lossless & Previews cause that speeds up the save
Then Compress The Video Again In Idealshare, Xmedia Recode, Format Factory etc just Into a smaller file
The Video I am playing on a portable dvd player that only supports vob avi & mpg
Or My PSP Which Only Plays mp4
I'm surprised you didn't mention the 1080p limitation of the MPEG format. If you are working in 4k, your preview files will still be in 1080p which is useless when it comes to exporting in 4k. I use a lot of third-party transitions which are render Hogs. They must be rendered in order to be previewed on the timeline. It makes sense to export in the same format so that you can use the previews and then convert that export to H.264. That actually saves quite a bit of rendering time in the export process.
Good to know.
I really never thought of transcoding the final render! I've avoided using 'Smart Render' because I typically work with 4K but on a 1080 timeline and I export to .264 for RUclips. Setting previews to my export format doesn't make sense as .264 is horrible to work with on the timeline. Indeed, I don't even know if you can set previews to that format.
I set previews to Pro Res 422, which is what I transcode all my footage to. Huge file sizes for sure, but my timeline is super smooth in this codec.
Thanks this is very helpful😊
Thanks a lot
You’re video really helped me out
I have a bunch of preview files that are taking up a bunch of hard drive space. So I was wondering about deleting them.
Very interesting & informative Colin . . .Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you Colin! I finally understood! This won't stop me from getting upset but I now understand why I'm getting upset! 😅
Absolutely. It's much easier to take when you know why.
Thanks for this but what I have found is a serious flaw is that even in a simple 1 layer edit if you even cut a point the whole preview is dumped. Adobe really should sort this so you can atleast do cuts and that it should only lose the preview for the bits that then gain extra layers or transitions otherwise its a big time waster.
Nice... Thanks Colin... ❤️🎥💪🏾
Glad you liked it.
Can we delete that preview folder after we done with our video?
Yes. Premiere Pro will create a new folder if it's need to.
Thank you, sir! Very helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
It was an important topic worth watching.. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it
nice info Thanks! so if i work with underpower machine, and working with prores proxy for h.264 file, which preview format should I choose for fast preview? and for the output video would be an mp4 or mov like youtube required
You can't pick just any format as a preview file so if you're going to RUclips, you'll still have to render H.264. That means you're system will be slow no matter what settings you pick. Sorry.
@@VideoRevealed Hi! I came to the same conclusion that previews are useless for me but found your video while double-checking.
Just to make things clear there is no format supported by youtube that could profit from previews?
I have a decent machine but am not happy with the exporting speeds. I hope you can reply, thanks for sharing your expertise
What if the final export is going to be ProRES, does it make sense to choose ProRES as the preview format instead of mpeg? And is there a difference between pre-rendering in to out vs selecting all and rendering?
It will be faster to export but only if the previews are identical to the Timeline Any changes will have to render. I find it rare that the previews are identical; there are always tweaks that cause a full render.
IS it possible to recover a deleted project from existing .prv files ?
Ι unfortunately have deleted by mistake the project file and the auto save folder... The only thing that remained are 15GB .prv files from the deleted project. Is it possible to restore somehow the deleted project using these prv files ?
Correct me if I'm wrong but this isn't helpful for anyone with a powerful computer because time spent rendering displaces time spent exporting - only helpful if you have a non-powerful computer that requires timeline rendering for playback?
Correct. I added this tutorial because there were tons of people didn't know that exact fact. They expected you had to render all the time.
@@VideoRevealed It's a great tip! Wish I knew it when I was editing on my old Macbook
How about Audio Prev folder? Can I delete it as well?
Yes.
WHAT IS THE HOT KEYS TO CREATE RENDER PREVIEW?!?!?!?
I just found out there is Broadcasting Capability in premiere pro and what role preview files play in that vast area of experties.
could you please add video chapters, i just want to understand some details about audio preview files and not watch the whole video
amazing
Thanks
Bro really had his clip labeled as "black teenager" lmaooo
