Any way to speed up render of Livetype files?

We use some Live type overlays for our show... and we have a very short amount of time to do the actual show. (30 minute show twice a day...with about 2 hours of work time to edit the whole thing and I'm the only one doing it).... so any increase in speed is acceptable (as long as it doesn't increase export to quicktime file time)...
The overlays take a really long time it seems to render. like a 30 second tease with a livetype overlay takes around 12-15 minutes depending... Aside from buying more ram or a faster mac (not an option) what can I do to render this faster? With such a limited time to edit its really annoying waiting so long for such a short amount of timeline to render.
Thanks in advance.
Oh and after I edit I still have to export the timeline to a single quicktime file to play it out without it dropping frames. Thats fine its just another 20-45 minutes that I have to squeeze into my day. 20 minutes with the whole timeline rendered and ready to go, 45 or longer (its hard to tell cause it says 3-4 hours for most of the timeline and doesn't give me an accurate time until the very end) if I don't have any of the livetype stuff rendered.

Shut down all other programs and processes while
rendering in FCP.
Always do... even make sure that things like Safari and quicktime close out completely.
Keep LT elements as simple as possible, no heavy
effects, especially drop shadows and opacity
settings.
Not sure but perhaps Title 3D elements might render
faster.
Thats a different beast as I have to go with the graphics my boss has approved and likes... even if I'm not crazy about them.
Are you working with DV. If so you should be able to
print the timeline to tape or play it out without
dropping frames.
Well some are mpeg2's converted to dv (because they don't have audio if I try and import them straight in as mpeg2. But some is captured from Betacam SP Decks and some is captured from our studio (both of those being in uncompressed 8bit)
Make sure that your drives are not going to sleep at
any time.
Make sure you have a minimum of 10% free space on you
capture drives.
Done and done...although I do notice that even if sleep is turned off on the drives they still take some time to "wake up" when I come back to the computer after a while. Sleep isn't turned on but sometimes I have to wait about 10 seconds or so for the drives to respond to anything...but only if I haven't used that drive in a while. Maybe there's a setting I'm missing? Mac isn't my primary machine experience so I only really use one at work.
Might try running Apple Disk Utilities and a program
like Disk Warrior on your drives to help keep them
running efficiently.
Thanks.... I'll have to see about giving those a shot. Its not gonna destroy any archive files we have is it? Being a news show we have to keep a pretty healthy supply of archival footage.

  • Oracle 10gR2 - Any way to speed up Transportable Tablespace Import?

    I have a nightly process that uses expdp/impdp with Transportable Tablespace option to copy a full schema from one database to another. This process was initially done with just expdp/impdp, however the creation of the indexes started to slow down the process at which time I switched to using Transportable Tablespace.
    In the last 3 months, the number of objects in the schema has not changes however the amount of data has increased 15.73%. At the same time, the Transportable Tablespace impdp has increased 30.77% in time to process.
    Is there any way to speed up a Transportable Tablespace impdp in Oracle 10gR2? The docs show that I cannot use parallel with TTS. I have excluded STATISTICS in the export.
    Eventually I will be moving away from doing this TTS expdp/impdp, however for now I need to do what I can to contain the amount of time it takes to process.
    Environment: Oracle 10.2.0.4 (source and destination) on Sun Solaris SPARC v10. We are not using ASM currently. Tablespace is 6 datafiles for a total of 87.5GB, 791 tables, 1924 indexes, 1773 triggers, and 10 LOBs.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    My reading of this thread was that there was a need to be able to do offline setups when the client had lost oracle lite (we get this on PDAs all the time when they go totally dead), so the CD install is something that can be sent out.
    Any install (CD or otherwise) will be empty in terms of applications and data, not much you can do about that on a CD, but depending on the type of device and the storage possibilities you have you can secure the database and application files seperately. for example on a PDA using the external SD or flash for the data and file storage will keep them when the orace directory is lost from main storage and therefore all thet is needed after the oracle lite recovery is to recreate the odbc file (and possibly polite if you have special parameters). The setting of the crr flags for 'real' data on the server is a trick to bring the database up to date without a total rebuild.
    NOTE if you use SD cards etc. on PDAs/small devices, beware of windows ce/mobile power up differential between main memory and external storage. If you power down in the middle of an update or query, you can get device read/write errors when the device powers up due to processing continuing before the storage media is active

  • COBRAS - any way to speed things up?

    I'm working on a customer system and will be using COBRAS to migrate user data this weekend.  There are three systems involved, the largest of which has some 8900 subscribers on it.  Running the backup of the system using COBRAS took 1 hour and 50 minutes.
    Currently running a test import to see how long things will take, and I'm at 14 hours now and it's still cranking.  The display is showing me import stage [10 of 20] Subscriber Modification and Current Object [83.3% Complete]
    Trying to figure out if there is any way to speed this up.  For instance:
    1.  If the COBRAS workstation is layer 2 adjacent to the UCxN publisher, is this preferred, does it tend to work faster?
    2.  Would this run faster if I did a bulk creation of the mailboxes first and then use COBRAS to update/fine tune them?
    3.  During user creation, I was watching and it seemed to create anywhere from 6 to 12 users, and then just stop for around 30 seconds give or take.  The logs don't show any reason for this, but with the number of times it happened, it's having a significant impact. 
    I'm running the most recent builds of export/import (downloaded them yesterday). 
    Any recommendations, thoughts, observations, etc. appreciated.
    TIA

  • JSC2: Any ways to speed things up?

    Java Studio Creator 2 is a fine program in many ways. However, in my case, it fails in one aspect:
    Development speed.
    - First of all, starting JSC2 can take an exceedingly long time. However, this is only occasionally.
    - Undo can take up to a minute to complete. The lag when undoing is sometimes unbeliveable.
    - Adjusting properties of components that are within tables takes way too much time.
    - Closing large jsp pages can take ages. Waiting times of up to 3 minutes are not uncommon.
    - Opening more than one large projects at once can virtually crash the machine.
    - Adding length validators to medium or large pages takes a painfully long time.
    - Connecting RowSets to DataProviders on a large page means you have to wait for an agonizingly long time. Everything stops for about 40 seconds, and I can't even use other applications while waiting!
    - If components are within a tabset the lag is about fivefold. This REALLY undermines the will to even use tabsets in JSC2.
    - Changing from JSP view to Java view or Design view and vice versa is extremely slowish.
    Are there any ways to speed things up? Maybe some settings within JSC2? Or perhaps cast a haste spell on it?
    I am not sure if the reason for all this has something to do with the database connections. The database is accessed over a network.
    Here are my workstation specs:
    Evo D510 CMT Intel(R)
    Pentium 4 CPU 2,53 GHz
    2 Gigs of RAM
    Database specs:
    IBM DB2 8.1
    DataDirect Connect for JDBC drivers (tried others as well)
    However, what I have been able to do so far is impressive. But it took a lot of time and patience.

  • Is there any way to speed up "repair disk" over internet recovery on OSX

    After receiving a grey screen on startup, I finally have been able to boot into internet recovery on my 13" macbook pro. I'm running "Repair Disk" from the Disk Utility on my "Macintosh HD" drive. The estimated time is listed at "1 day, 23 hours", and has been stuck there for about 8 hours. It was 2 days and then did move to 1 day, 23 hours, but has not moved since.
    Is there any way to speed up this disk repair? Would connecting over ethernet rather than WiFi help? Should I go somewhere with a faster internet connection than my home (1.1Mbps Down / 1.6 Up)? It can't possibly take over 2 days to repair the disk under normal conditions, right?

    A hard wire connection should be faster than wifi.  If you have been running Disk Utility Repair for 8 hrs, try is again and if after an hour you still see the same result, I suspect that the HDD is faulty.
    I would try an external boot HDD and see if the MBP can boot from that.  If it can, than that indicates that your internal HDD has failed and must be replaced.  Transfer as much data as you can.
    Ciao.

  • Is ther any way to speed up SCP.

    Hi,
    I am restoring DB from previous cold backup of DB(on another machine).
    but scp took app. 36hrs to copy datafiles(in .gz format)
    is ther any way to speed up this copy for future.
    DB size is app 1600GB
    DB version 10.2.0.3

  • Any way to speed up the "faces" process?

    I used to use picasa and their faces system was very efficient. You could approve hundreds at a time. Is there any way to speed it up in iPhoto? I have about 10,000 photos, and it only seems to show 3 faces at a time.

    No, that does not sound right at all.  ( 5 is a lot of movies to cart around on your pad.....)
    Hopefully you are doing this on your home wifi set up, and trying to use cell, or Starbucks.
    Is your home system normally that slow? 
    You can test your system speed by download one of many speed apps available like 'speed test'. And if you are any sort of decent service, you should get a speed of at least 2 mbps, and potentially as hig as 20 Mbps . 
    If your connection is fine, then something else is going on.  Suggest you cancel the download, and try again.  It may be you are getting hung up at the server end.
    If your connection, however, is real slow, there is nothing you can do about it except to find a faster wifi spot.  ( the speed test app will let you test)

  • 15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009: 10.9.1 -running slow. Any way to speed it up?

    2.53GHz, Mid 2009: 10.9.1 -running slow. Any way to speed it up?

    Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with visits to:     OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney;
                                      The X Lab: The X-FAQs;
                                      The Safe Mac » Mac Performance Guide;
                                      The Safe Mac » The myth of the dirty Mac;
                                      Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilites Menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD disk icon and click on the arrow button below.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
    Note: Alsoft ships DW on a bootable DVD that will startup Macs running Snow Leopard or earlier. It cannot start Macs that came with Lion or later pre-installed, however, DW will work on those models.
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or later and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
    An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
    Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
    See these Apple articles:
              Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
              OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
              About file quarantine in OS X
    If you require anti-virus protection I recommend using VirusBarrier Express 1.1.6 or Dr.Web Light both from the App Store. They're both free, and since they're from the App Store, they won't destabilize the system. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.)
    Troubleshooting Applications
    I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX, Mavericks Cache Cleaner, or Cocktail that you can use for removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache, log, or temporary files can cause application or OS X crashes as well as kernel panics.
    If you have Snow Leopard or Leopard, then for similar repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. Applejack does not work with Lion and later.
    Basic Backup
    For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
    1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
    2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
        used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
        requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
        drive being backed up.
    Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Get Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. Synk Pro
      6. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
    Referenced software can be found at MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Pre-Mavericks
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Mavericks and later
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the View menu.  Click on the CPU tab in the toolbar. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time (>=70,) then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.
