Dreadful export time

Hi,
I'm exporting a reference movie for a producer to screen, and a native 5 minute HD clip (not changing any export settings) is taking 15 minutes or so. I've tried several combinations of movies, smaller size, least quality, etc, and these take longer at every turn. Is the long export time my HD fate? Or is there an alternative anyone uses that is FASTER? It's just for reference, so speed is the most important factor.
Thanks for any suggestions, John O

HD means what flavor?
If it is HDV, that is a computational intensive codec and takes a while.
A faster computer would assist.

This is not usually related to AD issues, but it may be more of a DNS issue. I posted a request in your other thread to post an unedited ipconfig /all of the DC and of the client.
This may help use diagnose this issue and your other thread's printer issues.

LR4 - Anyone notice slower export times - RAW to JPG?

I read through the "Lightroom 4 is slow" thread - very good reading. I have noticed many of the same issues & hope Adobe is paying attention to that thread!
No one mentioned a slowdown in exporting RAW files to JPG. My average time for exporting Canon 7D CR2 files to full sized 300dpi JPGs in LR 3 is about 5.3 seconds per file. The same exports in LR 4 are about 8 seconds per file.
I can learn to live with this increased exporting time. I'm curious as to whether anyone else is experiencing this.

Yes. For me, Canon G12 & 40D RAW files are taking twice as long to export under LR4 than under 3.6 - 16 secs vs 8 secs after the same processing. But I am also seeing the same general latency problems identified in other threads here. I've reverted back to 3.6 after trying every possible workaround posted so far - LR4 is unusable for me.

Trying to shorten export time

Been trying to export 1920x1080 using h.264 codec for posting on web. I first set up my own Export but took 8 hrs to finish 35%. Been looking at the Apple Devices 720 or 1080 options now. I switch options from Apple Device to Web Hosting but there's no indication of changes in size changes the size and therefore length of time to export (generally). Tho Apple Devices produces a "protected MPEG-4" movie and Web Hosting a "Quicktime" movie.
Any suggestions on choices for export?
OR
Has anyone had problems withi export time and then solved them? If so, how?
Any other tips appreciated.

My workflow for a YouTube project is:
Completely render the project before exporting.
Export to whatever the current codec is set for (so... just Export with current settings), typically ProRes 422(HQ) [my general preference established when creating a project] or sometimes ProRes LT and if necessary, ProRes 4444. It really doesn't matter, when the project is completely rendered and exporting to a ProRes format, the export is about 1/5 to 1/2 run time (about 2 - 5 minutes for every 10 of video -- probably dependent on your storage bandwidth.)
Exporting H.264 for YouTube of Vimeo straight out of FCPX is *absolutely pointless* since FCPX does not offer any quality options (always exports highest quality H.264) and YouTube and others are just going to recompress down to their limit anyway. I never give YT that opportunity...
I use Quicktime 7 Pro (about 100,000 times easier than compressor [hyperbole]) to transcode to YouTube specifications. The maximum bandwidth YT will "place" is 5Mbps... so I transcode to, at most, 5Mbps. Turn on Auto Key Frames; Turn off Frame Reordering; Data Rate Restrict to 5000 kbits/sec; Optimize for Streaming; Compressor Quality (max available) to High; Encoding to Best Quality (Multi-pass). For the Size options, I use the HD settings from the top section (anything below the start of NTSC will create broadcast tv "safe" video [overscan] and will not be completely compatible with digital targets such as YT [it will be smaller].) I also set Preserve Aspect Ratio Using Letterbox (YT used to have problems with 1920x1080 video being a little "squished" vertically to compensate for the transport controls... probably just habit now.) Audio: Format AAC; Sample Rate 48000; Variable bit rate ~192kbps. And check the Prepare for Internet Streaming checkbox and select Fast Start. Except for the variable bit rate audio and the letterboxing stuff, these are the specifications YT put down in its documention.
Converting from the ProRes output from FCPX to the H.264 for YT in QT7Pro is actually faster than trying to export H.264 directly out of FCPX (and compressor for that matter...)
I find if you simply change the m4v filletype to .mov, you don't need all the web page stuff that gets generated, you can simply load the video up in a browser from a direct URL. Exporting to Apple Devices is a quick way to transcode 1080 out of FCPX to the smaller sized 720 video when necessary.
Here's an example of an .m4v Apple Devices video with the filetype manually changed to .mov:
http://sight-creations.com/video/2.5demo_noPS.mov
Will it upload to YT? Yep: here's the proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH1mIli8EpA (but this one has no audio -- be very careful about the audio settings of what you upload to YT... they don't like Linear PCM [AIFF, WAV, etc... YT wants AAC])

Premiere Pro export issues. Unknown error messages, extremely slow export times, strange I/O & disk usage

Hello,
I'm hoping I can start getting answers to some big issues I've been having running Premiere pro. I've had similar issues with CS6 but it seems like with CC and every recent update, the problem hasn't been resolved, its even worse.
The main issue I have is seeing the 'unknown error' message everytime I try to export a file. I'm working with RED footage. When I turn off the CUDA support, I can export without the error but my export time goes from a few minutes to sometimes hours in the render time!
I've looked through pages and pages of forums and there are so many people saying the same thing, with millions of opinions of what the problem is. Regardless, the only thing I tried that worked so far is turning off the CUDA support.
Now something I recently noticed, is that the difference isn't the GPU usage, I still show GPU being used at 500mb or 1gb out of the 2gb that it has (GTX 680)
The strange thing is without the mercury playback option, I'm seeing that disk usage and I/O go way down to kbs from a very high number. This would make sense why I'm seeing such huge changes in render times even though it still shows my 6 core CPU maxed out and ram over 40gb out of 64 that are installed.
Does anyone have a suggestion on what may be happening here? Its the only thing that has plagued my system using Premiere since day one and there seems to be no way around it..

Best way to get a real answer is go to the Tweaker's Page, download the most recent PPBM benchmark test, and run it. It's a folder that has a resource monitoring/logging program and a PrPro project with files that is short but HEAVY in effects, both AE and PrPro, so it tests all parts of a system's capabilities from disc in/out to GPU capability/use to CPU, fsb, RAM, you name it ... and after sending that back in you get a complete report on where your computer did well and what the choke-points were.
Also ... over on the Hardware forum is the place where the techies amongst us hang ...

Export time in Premiere/ME 130+ hours

Adobe Premiere 6.0.0 and Media Encoder 6.0.0.382 on Mac 10.6.8 using SSD drive for progams and OWC harddrive for projects/files.
I am working on CS6 CC, I finished a 20 minute edit. It has minor levels/3 way color, some warp stabilizer--but nothing external as of yet. I have about 5 video tracks and 10 audio tracks. This is my first export since upgrading to CS6--I am trying to export a h.264 HD vimeo file (tried both 720 and 1080).
My issue is that when I export either from premiere pro or from media encoder, the export time starts at about 2 and a half hours at first then slowly counts up instead of counting down. It has reached up to 130 hours (after exporting for 30 hours) before I stopped it to try a lower quality. I have been trying to export this project for four days. It seems that all three times I tried in media encoder, the time is still adding but the output preview is stuck on one frame (which was a different frame in each export).
I would say that I do not have the fastest and most upgraded computer, but I know that it worked fine before with CS5.

Thank you Joe for responding. I was very hopeful that this would be the solution. I removed all of the warp stabilizers and it appeared that it was working. The time evened out at about 4 hours but was still going up and down between 3-4 hours (at least it was going down at all). I left it with 2 hours left and I have come back to find it like it was before. The time is going up on the "remaining time" and the preview is stuck on the same image.
Has it stopped working? Or is it really taking this long? (And why is it stuck on the preview frame).
Thanks for any help in advance.

I have purchased Asus STRIX-GTX980. Now what should I change settings in Premier Pro and After Effects to reduce export time

I have recently purchased Asus STRIX-GTX980 4GB with i7 4790K.
Now what settings are to be optimized in Pr (CS6) to reduce Export time . Please explain in Detail Please explain in Detail step by step
Now what settings to be optimized in Ae (CS6) to reduce Export time . Please explain in Detail step by step .
The main Motto of noto is to reduce expot times.
Please help me set values .

As Dave says, GPU does very little in AE, see this: GPU (CUDA, OpenGL) features in After Effects
Now, some third-party plugins (such as Red Giant Universe and Video Copilot's Element 3d) do make use of the GPU in AE, but their requirements have nothing to do with AE or its settings.
Premiere, on the other hand, does make use of a GPU, you should ask in that forum what they suggest.
Also, in the future, I would suggest checking on system requirements and benefits BEFORE making a purchase...

Export time very slow.

Hi guys, i-v read some thems on the forum, but I am not an english speaking person, so it's kind of hard for me to receive a lot of information in a diffrent language at the same time. So I would like to create a new theme, where you probably will be able to help me.
I am using Adobe Premiere CS 6. I have an HP DV7 laptom with the folowwing configuration:
Windows 7 ultimate 64
Intel core I7-3820QM CPU, 2.70 Ghz
8 GB RAM
internal HDD drives 5400 Rpm
Video adapter:
1. Intel (R) HD Graphics 4000
2. Nvidia GeForce GT 650M with unabled CUDA (I mean in Premiere it's shown as unabled)
The premiere is installed on disc C, the info is on Disk D (different HDD from C).
I shoot on an Canon 7D camera full HD 1080x1920, 25 fps. Sequence is the same as camera shooting h264 format.
When I export i select MPEG2 movie, 1920x080, 25 fps, 30 bitrate.
1 hour clip is then exported in about 4-5 hours, what seems extremly long for me...

Thank you, is there a way to fasten the rendering and export time? What should I look for upgrading my laptop?

Quicktime Export Times In Leopard?

I was wondering if anyone who's upgraded to Leopard could tell me if Quicktime export times have gotten better, worse or are comparable to Tiger--especially those using Mac Pros.
Thanks!

I have seen on MediaSilo.com a tip to get Elgato H.264 working with Compressor, but I can't seem to be able to find it. Basically, the trick was to create a duplicate setting in Compressor that Final Cut Server is able to read ( not as Quicktime Export Component), associate it with a Final Cut Server's compression setting and later reassign that setting in Compressor to Elgato.
I will keep diggin' for this tip, it was actually a screen recording.

Renaming files at web export time?

I have a particular file naming scheme for my Lightroom catalog (as I'm sure we all do), it works really well for keeping all the shots in my entire library organized in the filesystem... but of course it doesn't really take collections into consideration. It seems to me that the web module is really made for collections (or even smaller sub-collection selection sets), and that "web collection" order is not necessarily related to file sequence, chronological order, import time, etc... so is there a way to rename the photos at web export time making use of some kind of "web collection sequence" metadata?

Our goal in designing the output from the web module was to make the resulting gallery when viewed in a web browser the best experience possible. Therefore, we didn't spend any effort allowing the user to customize the way in which that exported gallery gets built internally.
That said, it may be possible for someone who writes their own gallery to specify a new naming scheme for the photos.
Why does it matter to you what the filenames on the web gallery photos are? Most users are going to view them in the context of the accompanying flash or HTML files, and won't be aware of what the filenames are behind the scenes. (I'm curious about how you're using the web module that this matters )

Share and Export time extreme

Started using Final Cut Pro X and I like a lot of the new features. One thing is concerning me is Sharing or Exporting time. I had a 2 hour training video that I needed to export to mp4 file. I tried many different methods using Final Cut Pro X and Compressor and the time on an 8 Core with 10 Gig of ram was 14 hours. I checked the processor uses during the export and all processors were running near max. Unless I am doing something wrong this seems extreme. Any suggestions?

Maybe this could help:

Increase export times

Hi all-
I'm under the gun a bit with a Friday deadline and tons of video to export into h.264 files destined for streaming.
As always, I'm just doing a Export>Using Quicktime conversion with the settings that I like, but the export times are pretty brutal. 20 minutes or so for a five minutes of video. My machine usually runs pretty fast.
One thing that is a bit different is that I'm using some very long sequences. Upwards of 3.5 hours. But, I'm using in and out markers to cut into 3-5 minute clips. My assumption would be that FCP is looking only at the in and out markers, so I don't know why the size of the sequence might matter, but perhaps it does. Maybe I should cut my sequences smaller - though again - I can't imagine why that would matter? Any thoughts on this or other ways that I can expedite a bit without lowering quality settings?
Also, I typically only use compressor when I'm exporting to an mpeg format, but can I use compressor to generate h.264? That way maybe I could create a batch that could render some of these clips overnight?
Any thoughts or advice on how I can pick this up a bit is definitely appreciated.
Warm regards-
David

I figured as much (though I can't really check the export utility now, because I'm in the middle of a brutally long export of a five minute clip).
I'll do that for overnight.
How about while I'm awake? I always prefer to monitor things vs. the overnight batch. In your experience does exporting to h.264 through compressor work faster than through export using qt conversion?
Maybe I'll give that a "go" with one clip once this current job is done and see for myself.

Export time estimation of Essbase

I understand that the database export time of Essbase should depends on the database size, disk IO rate, CPU, and other factors. However any high level estimation of experience on the time estimation? For example, if we have a database of 100GB on SAN disk array with Windows Server 2003 of dual CPU, say, what will be the rough estimate of a database export task? Will it be 4 hours, 10 hours, or 40 hours?
Or any experience tried before and can give us some real example for sharing?
Thanks for your help!

Hello -
I have seen that Level 0 export should not be that bad (2-3hours max) for an 80gb database when -
1) You run the process when not much going on the server (other calcs etc)
and
2) You run parallel export of the same database with multiple threads
RegardsThanks for your experience sharing. 80GB export requires 3 hours is not bad. I heard that there are another case that requires 20 hours for 20GB database. Maybe there are some hardware or disk configuration difference.
What is the hardware configuration for your 80GB database level 0 export?

Help to increase exporting time?

I have been working on several animated videos (in CS6) for the last few weeks but as of last night, the exporting times have slowed down by up to 4x the usual speed. I am on a very tight deadline and hoping someone can help? I am working on a Mac Pro. Thanks

What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking?
File, Export > Add to Render Queue, Settings for Render: Best Quality, H264, Render... wait

Will Quadro 4000 cuda a lower export time?

Hi!
I produce a weekly show of 25 minutes and normally it takes around 2 hours to export to the format I need to deliver in using my 8 core 2010 MacPro.
After we started using three plugins (unsharpen mask, and Magic Bullet's "Mojo" and "Cosmo") export times has risen to 15-16 hours and editing is not fluent / realtime.
I know for sure that a Quadro 4000 graphics card will make it possible to edit realtime without having to render, but will it also lower the export time ?
Thank you

If you've got too much time on your hands, take a look at this PP benchmark site. I don't think there are any Mac OS computers on the site. But I think you can get an idea how much you might gain with either faster or more CPU's.
http://ppbm5.com/DB-PPBM5-2.php
But, if you're thinking about getting a new Mac, you might want to wait. Most of the rumor sites think Apple will be announcing a new Mac Pro line by the end of this year, or early next. Based on Intel's CPU schedule. I tend to believe Apple will do so. Since the Mac Pro is still around, I would think it's because they plan on updating it. If they were going to kill, it would probably be gone.
Unless they announce that they're working on a new, awesome and revolutionary Mac Pro. And it's gonna change the way we compute.
Wait, that was FCP X. And now I'm on my PP post number 8.
Never mind.
