BillyR From what you wrote, it appears you:
1) transfer a clip to CD from within PD
2) make simple cuts in CD
3) return to PD and produce
That's close but not quite exactly what I do. In Step
2) I don't do any cuts, I make adjustments to the White Balance, Exposure, Sharpness, Denoise and maybe one or two other things. Then I bring it back to PD from whence in Step
3) I take the audio file to Audio Director where I edit and return it to PD. Then in Step
4) I cut out the commercials, add video fades front and back, make a final check to make sure I have what I want and the audio/video is in sync and then in Step
5) Produce to an MP4 (Hardware acceleration
unchecked).
This is the procedure whereby the rendering time is about 40 min., using about 40-some percent of the CPU resources. I've never produced a file in CD.
When I skip Step 1) and
don't take the file to CD and instead make the same type edits in PD and do everything else the same,
that's when the rendering only takes about 14 min. at 90-something percent of the CPU with the Produce settings the same as above.
I've never seen the orange icon you mention, I guess because I've never made any cuts in CD.
Oh yeah, I'm using Build 2726.
