Hi, this is Margaret from Noble Desktop. Today, we will look at basic rendering in Premiere Pro. Rendering is for the creation of preview files. It's a stabilizing file. When you play it back, it's going to be normal and you're going to see it as it's meant to be seen. Green means you have already rendered everything and it's fine. Yellow means it needs to be rendered. Red, on the other hand, will show you a lower quality file and it often has a different rate. Rendering will happen during your export. I believe you should render before you export the sequence.
Let's take a look at the render files now. They go into wherever you have set up your system settings. I have my scratch disks set up to the same as the project. Wherever the project is saved, the associated files (not the footage) for the render preview go into the folder.
If you come across a message that you have a difficult render file, you will need to just put an in and out point on each side of it and just do it slowly.
I hope you've enjoyed this lesson on rendering in Premiere Pro. This has been Margaret with Noble Desktop.
