Hey there, I have some questions about Premiere Pro, here goes:
1. I put a 1 minute video track, and approx. a 4 minute song into the timeline, and added a bend effect at the beginning, when i rendered the work so far, it took 5 minutes to render it all, Is this normal? Or is that quite slow?
If that's normal then this'll take a long time.
If not, may i have some suggestions as to why it might be slow?

Also, Can someone give me a brief description, what tools to use, to allow me to zoom in on one part of a video, and then back out and continue playing it.

(I'm making a music video for a game, And i would like to zoom in on critical hits (And if possible keep it in time to the music, but that depends on where i place the video i guess.))

Thanks a lot in advance,

Combusted.
 
I don't and never have used Premiere, but I imagine it follows the same basic rules as the majority of video editing packages.

The render seems a little slow for your spec (if your sig is correct/the same machine). However there's a ton of factors that could effect this, mainly the compression settings you're using. On my laptop (2.5ghz C2D, 4GB RAM) I usually hit a 1:1.5 ratio with a fairly complex edit (multiple layers (usually 10+), about 3 effects per layer, multiple audio as well as keyframed volume and various individual effects). So a 1 hour video would normally take around 1.5 hours to render. That's for DVD compression (so a rough average of 4mbps to an mpeg format).

The slowness you're experience may simply be down to the inefficiency of Premiere, but as I've never used it I can't say for sure.

As for the zoom... have you tried mousewheel? That's usually the standard. If not refer to the hotkeys section of the help.
