45-Second Video Takes Three Days to Render

I created a video in AE CS6 and dropped it into Premiere. Instead of rendering the video in AE, I decided to make my final video by exporting to AME. I need to convert this 45-second AE file into an H264. It’s been three days. I left it running over the weekend. The last time I did this with the same file it only took five hours, which is still too long. Other videos don’t take this long. What could be the matter?

I have several hours of MP4 video.
FCE is designed to edit QuickTime/DV and QuickTime/Apple Intermediate Codec. Import other stuff and you will end up needing to render all the time, as you have found out.
Notes: generally, standard def 4:3 video or 16:9 anamorphic video needs to be QT/DV whereas high def 16:9 video needs to be QT/AIC. FCE can capture native HDV and AVCHD from camera but they are automatically transcoded to QT/AIC by FCE during capture).
It would help to know exactly what your MP4 video clips are (open one or two in QuickTime, then open the Movie Inspector and tell us what it says for frame size, frame rate and codec/compression).
Many people in this forum use MPEG Streamclip to convert other video formats to QT/DV or QT/AIC. I have used it often and it does a great job.

Have a 5 min clip and it takes 8 days to render!!! Any help???

I have a Mac Pro, 2 x 3GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon with 11GB of RAM. I've noticed since I upgraded to Final Cut Pro 7 render times have seemed to take longer and longer. I've tolerated it up to this moment. I have a 5 min clip that will supposedly take "8 days" to render. I tried to wait it out to see whether it would speed up but no luck. Is this strictly the processors fault, I just don't have enough processing speed? Or is there something else going on?

11GB of RAM? that's a very odd number. FCP likes nice even numbers. RAM in pairs.
Now...what type of footage are you working with? What kind of effects have you added to these? Do you have any stills in the project that are between 2000pixels and 4000pixels (those take a while to render)? What are your sequence settings?

Is it normal for iCloud restore to take three day to download

my iPhone 5 just came back for repair from apple and i did iCloud restore and its been three days know and its still not finished is this normal

It theory, the wifi connection doesn't need to be constant. If the wifi connection is interrupted, the restore is supposed to be suspended for up to three days and resume when your wifi connection is restored. In practice, however, it sometimes doesn't resume and can stall out. It's best to leave it connected to wifi and your charger and just let it finish restoring the backup. Unless this has changed, you should be able to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Stop Restoring, then erase the phone and start the restore process over as explained here: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud.

Why when I start the backup on iCloud it take three days to complete it and then after three days it haven't completed it? I have to backup just 1GB.

Ah and casually my iPad disconnects from the Internet.(most of the times when it is blocked)

Usually when you delete account it will ask you what you want to do keep on the phone or delete about everything. The only thing it will reset is Photostream. Even if you were (unwittingly) to delete those documents from the phone - which I would not, those still should be saved in the cloud and you can verify that on the same website - Icloud.com.
There is always a risk of following instructions of anyone on the forum, you are by all means free to do your own research.

Since syncing my Ipod classic three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it just stops. After a little while, it moves on to the next song.

I have an old iPod Classic, 5th generation with video 30 GB. I sync via a pc. Since syncing it three days ago, the songs will only play the first three minutes and five seconds. Then it moves on to the next song or if it's the last song, it goes back to the menu. I just synced again and it it still doing it.It also has a small group of dots near the middle of the screen that weren't there before.Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it? Thanks.

Please disregard this question. I have a better worded version coming up.

2minute video takes 30minutes to render?

Ok, I have an Intel i7-860 Quad Core CPU, overclocked to 3.7Ghz, 8Gb of DDR3 RAM, windows 7 64bit,
I'm using Adobe After Effects CS4 with the latest updates.
I've set the settings to render fast using all 4 CPU's. I have a 2 minute video with very little effects...basic fade transitions and change in color tone and contrast. The video is in HD 1920x1080 29.97fps.
Why does it still take 30 minutes to render a 2 minute video?
Thanks to anyone who'll help me!

Mylenium:
Man, it's never that simple is it? hehe
I guess I have to start somewhere so even though it all seems so complicated I'll keep moving forward. I'd love to get better at film editing so I won't give up too easily.
Well,to be more specific about my project:
- I've embedded 4 quicktime videos. All HD 1920x1080 each movie clip is under 200megs.
- Total time is 2 minutes and 9 seconds
- 1 mp3 music file at 7.5MB
To see the clip I've been working on:

when I render my settings are:

Why does it take so long to render my video?

I imported 11 mini discs and created a project with the intention of compiling them to be recorded on larger dvd. I can't understand what the background rendering is all about. I'm in my 4th day of rendering. Yesterday I stopped after 13+ hrs and today I'm in my 9th hr. I am not interested in adding any enhancements, additions, or anything else - just straight compilation of 11 minis to however many larger dvds. Why is it taking so long to do the background renderingf?

I recommend turning off background rendering in the FAQs to the right of this forum. It's got more liabilities than benefits.

Even still, it shouldn't take that long to render your files, assuming you've got a relatively powerful computer (i.e., at least a dual-core processor, up to date operating system and 2-4 gigs of RAM).
How long is your project? A DVD can only hold about 70 minutes of video.
And are you ensuring you're using the DVD project settings? If not, you'll run into problems eventually.
As you add DVD or MPEG files to your project, the program will need to first assimilate them. This should only take a couple of minutes for each file, depending on how long they are.
Once you place these files on your timeline, you will see a red line above them along the top of the timeline. Press Enter and the program will render them and the red line will turn green. Again, this shouldn't take more than 5 or 10 minutes, depending on how long your video is.
Assuming, of course, that you have adequate hardware to support version 8, which needs about 2-3 times the power of previous versions.

I just downloaded ios 7 and when I'm recording video the camera screen goes black and doesn't record anything. Also in control centre music control doesn't work sometimes. It's been three days.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I dropped my iPhone and i tried to turn it on but it only comes on at curtain times. And it turns back off when I drop it just a little bit. Sometimes it takes like three days to turn back on. How do I get it to work regularly again?? Please help!!!

Seems like there is some physical damage causing an intermittent issue of the iPhone being unable to power on.
You could try a reset:
- hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time
- the iphone will turn off(keep holding) then when the Apple logo appears release both buttons
If the reset fails I would suggest next time it powers on to try and back it up to either iTunes/iCloud then you can try a restore to factory settings or just back up and book an appointment at an Apple Store to have the iPhone evaluated.
All the best

I can't make or take phone calls, but i can message and use data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, two of which have this problem and one just stopped working all together.

My phone doesn't have any cellular phone functions...but it CAN send text messages and access data. Has this happened to anyone else? I've gone through three Samsung Galaxy S5's in the past three days, the last two have this problem and the first stopped working all together. I've had new sim cards put in, ive done hard resets on the phone, i've rebooted the phone, done battery pulls, and tech support has reset the signal to my phone. Nothing has worked. (I just "upgraded" <- lol.... and my old phone IS turned off.)

Im in 79707. So to recap my whole case: I upgraded my device using the verizon wireless website. I received my phone and switched my old SIM card from my Droid Razr Maxx HD into the new Galaxy S5. Everything worked fine until the next morning (May 31st) when I woke up and the phone wouldn't turn on. I took the phone to the local Verizon store and they were also unable to turn it on. They issued me a new Galaxy S5 (referred to as phone 2) and switched my SIM card into that one.
With PHONE 2 i was able to make calls and receive calls, along with text and data for approximately four hours. After that, i was unable to use the phone function of the device, but text and data were still functioning. I took PHONE 2 back to the Verizon store where they attempted to hard reset the phone twice, they also installed two new SIM cards at the store. After this they would get the same error, which is the phone just reading "Dialing..." after attempting to make a call. The Verizon associate declared the phone "DOA" and issued me another Galaxy S5 (referred to as PHONE 3).
PHONE 3 worked well, with phone text and data featured intact from when I received it on the after noon of the 31st until approximately 2:30PM on June 1st. I contacted Verizon Tech Support via Gmail phone to attempt the correct the problem. They reset the connection, had me do a battery pull, had me close the "phone" application, and erase the data and catche, then restart the phone. All of which had no effect. My phone is still able to receive texts and use data (even with wifi off) it simply cannot make or take phone calls. all it says is "dialing..." when I attempt to make a call. When other phones call my device it rings once on their end and directs them to voicemail, PHONE 3 does not ring on my end.
I have made sure my old phone is completely powered down.

HT3231 I am migrating about 450GB from my MacBook White to my MacBook Pro, wirelessly and it will take over three days, having spent 18 hours on the first 15%. Is it possible to interrupt this migation without damaging either source or target?

I am migrating about 450GB from my MacBook White to my MacBook Pro, wirelessly and it will take over three days, having spent 18 hours on the first 15%. Is it possible to interrupt this migation without damaging either source or target?
On reflection I should have used a wired connection or migrated at a later time but is it possible to interrupt the process now and rerun with a wired solution without damaging either laptop?

I have two iTunes libraries - about 172GB that I keep on my MacBook Pro and 500GB+ that I keep on an external drive. If you wanted to do something similar - keeping that precious internal space to a minimum - you can just create two libraries and hold down the option key when opening iTunes: this allows you to select which library you want to open.
Just a thought...

Would a backup occur if I was downloading pictures to Picassa 3. Did a real backup take place w/I-Tunes ? I don't remember if I saw that. Three days later while trying to sync I had a msg "iTnes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode.

Would a backup occur if I was downloading pictures to Picassa 3 ??? Did a real backup take place w/I-Tunes, at that same time ??? I don't remember if I saw that on the screen. Three days later while trying to sync my iPHone, I had a msg "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes."
Concern: Will I lose all my media and other data ? Just hate to push the RESTORE & UPDATE button, only to find out I have LOST all that stuff. My son says it should be backed up when I did the 4.3.2 of iPhone. Concerned a ton over this problem.
Thanks to anyone out there who might be able to help. Would appreciate any ideas.
PLS HELP

Syncing photos does NOT sync the phone; the camera is considered a separate device from the rest of the iPhone. You sync with iTunes, and should do it often enough so you don't cry if you lose all data on the phone.
At this point you have no choice; there is no way to NOT restore it. If the last backup is not corrupt it should restore the phone as of the time of the last backup.

I have bought "coins" for the slotto game but the past three days it tells me to contact iTune support store...why will it take my money some days and not others??

I have bought many "coins" for the slotto game but the past three days it tells me to contact the iTune Store to complete transaction. I do not know how to contact them and why would it let me buy some days and not others?

Click itunes, then itunes store, fill out your info, and then wait for a reply.
Do you purchase a lot?
Occasionally they will bar an account if the amount you're pourchasing seems irregular.

The only way to get it back is a hard reset or let the battery die and then plug in the charger. The brightness is up and the power stays on while screen is black.
This is the second macbook pro i have owned in the past two weeks. I am ready to return it for good if this is a chronic issue. Please help if you have had this same issue.

Try a SMC reset:

Just got my iPad 2 three days ago and noticed the battery life drops faster than I expected at least compared to the others ones around

Just got my iPad 2 three days ago and noticed the battery life drops faster than I expected at least compared to the others ones around, please I need to know the cause and how to effect necessary changes that will prolong the battery life as I have gone through the settings which includes turning off the push notifications, reduce brightness and so on but that doesn't seem to help much.

FYI
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
