Extreme render time compressor ProRes (LT) to H.264. need help.

I have a 24 minute project that I'd like to export from FCP7 using Compressor 3.
Currently, the estimated time to completionis 12 hours and 36 minutes and increasing.
and (according to my Activity Monitor) Compressor is using ~375% of the CPU.
i am frustrated.
I shot with a Canon Rebel T2i @ 720p/60
All video files were converted to ProRes422 (LT) before editing.
Using a 27' iMac w/ 2.93 GHz i7
I will be uploading the compressed file to vimeo, whose Compressor settings recommendations i have used and are as follows:
extension: .mov
Audio encoder: AAC, stereo, 44.100 kHz
Video Encoder:
format: QT
W: 1280
H:720
Pixel aspect ratio: square
crop: none
padding: none
Frame rate: (100% of source)
       selected: 60
frame controls: off
codec type: H.264
multi-pass: on, frame reorder: on
pixel depth: 24
spatial quality: 75
min. spatial quality: 75
key frame interval: 30
temporal quality: 50
min. temporal quality: 25
average data rate: 5.12 mbps
every time i try to export with these settings, it takes upwards of 12 hours, and the only time a project has completed, the video file is over 5 hours long and more than 5 gb.
i would be delighted if anyone can provide insight and direction in how i can more effectively prepare my video for uploading to the internet.
thanks
andrew

Have you tried setting up a cluster using qmaster in system preferences and submitting to the cluster in compressor.  That can speed things up enormously.  Check out the manual and do some searching here on how to setup.  If you can't figure it out, post back and I'll try to help.
If you need to do this regularly, I think Matrox makes a hardware solution that speeds up h264 exports.

    My Airport Extreme cannot be discovered by my macbook pro. Need help.

    New, out of the box, the AirPort Extreme is broadcasting a wireless signal with a name like Apple Network xxxxxx.
    If you want to configure the AirPort Extreme using wireless, you must log on to this network first from your Mac.
    Click the AirPort icon at the top of the screen, click Join Other Network, click Show Networks, select the Apple Network xxxxxx and log on. No password is required. Then open AirPort Utility.
    Or
    If you have a spare Ethernet cable handy, connect it from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the AirPort Extreme to establish a direct connection. Then open AirPort Utility.

  • Purchased extreme to replace modem/router DSL used telephone cord need help with set up

    Prior to purchasing Airport Extreme had a standard modem/ wireless router from ATT for DSL. I have two macbooks both dropped connections while online with older modem.
    Airport Extreme purchased to correct connection issues I need help with set up. The older modem just used telephone cord. I tried to use telephone with extreme it did not work.
    How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?

    How do I get extreme to work as the modem and router ?
    you can't. the extreme is only a router. you need a separate modem (or disable the wireless part of your old router and use it as a modem - if that's possible).

  • Render time changed from 10 to 56 hours. Help!

    Hi, we are working on a wedding video of 3 hours. Earlier when we rendered it last week, it took around 11 hours to finish.
    After that, we have only very few changes to the video. For example, we installed Red Gaint Looks and also used Lumitri Looks , for which we made 3 adjustment layers and on each layer, those looks were applied. Thats all, what we changed.
    I also upgraded my Nividia 670 graphics driver to the latest version.
    You can see my sequence here,
    http://d.pr/i/TjnE
    Here is my PC configuration, http://d.pr/i/i9Lk
    Here is the performance monitor, while Media Encoder was running, http://d.pr/i/OeLG

    Weird!
    I have used Looks on CS6 last year extensively and done 5-8 wedding videos and it was never a problem.
    Since I bought CC, Im facing al this issues.
    Not happy with CC at all.
    Anyone else facing the same problem ?
    Lumetri is too bad, dont have any presets as good as looks and I dont think, if there is any way we can convert a Looks file to Lumetri looks file. Anyone ?

  • Using Time Capsule as just a backup. (Need Help)

    There are two Time Capsules in our home.  We use one with our modem for our home Wi-Fi.  The one that I have on my desk, I would like to just use it as a back.  Does anyone have any idea as to how I can set it up to my iMac for just a back up?

    Yes, it is relatively easy.
    How is the imac connecting to the internet now??
    The answer depends on this..
    Ethernet.
    if you use ethernet, then could not be simpler.. bridge the TC.. plug the ethernet that was in the imac into the TC.. and plug the imac into another port on the TC.. it is now a switch and AP.. so turn off wireless.. and use it as your TM destination.
    Wireless.
    If the imac get internet by wireless.. setup the TC as router might be easier than bridge.. either are possible though. Plug it by ethernet into the computer. You might need to turn off wireless just to finish the setup. You need to move the TC to a different IP range. ie if you have two TC the second one cannot be the same IP as the first. Bridge avoids this issue as used above. Set the ethernet ip of the TC to say 192.168.1.1 .. set the ethernet on the computer to 192.168.1.10 with 255.255.255.0 subnet.. no router no dns set. (This is assuming the main TC is not using the same IP range). You may have to turn off the various errors that the TC will come up with.. just ignore them.. the TC is now isolated from the network for your exclusive use.
    There are other methods.. like using wireless extend.. so ask more if you need more.

  • Time Machine after upgrade to Mountain Lion need help

    Just had Apple store upgrade my iMac to Mountain Lion and I had taken my 2T external drive with me with my most recent time machine backup.  I am home and hooked up the driveand in preferences it says oldest backup; and latest backup none.  The drive doesn't show up on my desktop.  I thought they were going t be sure all was working.

    Now I know why I was nervous about doing this myself - the power cord wasn't plugged in all the way.  It seems to be backing up now.  It says 228 GB of 2 TB available - backing up 2.22 of 13.33  GB - oldest backup none - is this just an incremental backup and are all of my old backups still there.  This is one of the main reasons I went to the store for the install of Lion as I was concerned about my computer being completely backed up first.  The assured me the time machine backup was all I needed.  I guess I need reassurance right now.

  • Timer does not expire as it should, need help

    I am developing an application that plays multiple sound
    files at different time offsets. For example, snd1 starts at time
    offset 0 and snd2 starts at time offset 3000 ms (3 sec). I have
    created a timer for each sound file and enabled the handlers via
    addEventListener() function. The sound files start playing at the
    correct time offsets but I encounter a problem after the timer has
    been stopped because the user pressed the Pause Button. When the
    user presses the Play Button, the timer seems to be reset because
    the onTimerComplete() function is triggered after an additional
    3000 ms (3 sec). Is this normal behavior? If this is not the
    correct behavior, is there a solution to accomplish what I need
    done? Any help would be appreciated.
    I have created a small application in Flash CS3 that depicts
    the problem with just a single sound file. I have Flash Player
    9.0.124.0 installed. Sample code is below.
    Thanks,

  • I am unable to transfer my pictures from iphoto after editing back to my external hard disc. How do I do it. Previously I used Windows and this is the first time I am using a Macbook. Need help and tutorials.. Where can I find em..

    Hi there, I am new to Apple Iphoto. I am having lots of problems in transferring my edited photos back to my external Hard disc after editing. How am I able to do it. will it be able to open in Windows OS... Previously I was using Windows and now i m new in using the Apple OS.. Need guidance.. Would really appreciate if any1 of u guys could help me through. are there any other applications that I could use to edit pictures.

    Best if you try and explain what you are trying to acheive.
    Iphoto is a different paradigm than you're used to. I don't understand why you are trying to transfer your edited photos back to an external disk.
    There are tutorials here

  • I need help regarding measurement of "time domain parameters of Heart rate variability" using labview.

    I need help regarding measurement of "time domain parameters of Heart rate variability" using labview.
    I am using Labview 8 ... I  need to develop a software to accquire the ECG data (simulated enironment ) and compute the time domain parameters of Heart rate variability like "SDNN, SDANN...etc". Can some 1 plllzzzz help me out.Plzz help me if u can.Thanx in advance.

    Hi Andy,
      Thanx for responding.  The input is from a text file. SDNN, SDANN,etc are  the timedomain parameters of heart rate variability.
     SDNN: the standard deviation of the NN or RR interval  i.e. the square root of variance.
    SDANN:the standard deviation of the averageNN interval calculated over short periods, usually 5 min,which is an estimate of the changes in heart rate due tocycles longer than 5 min
    SDNN index, the meanof the 5-min standard deviation of the NN intervalcalculated over 24 h,
     RMSSD: the square root ofthe mean squared differences of successive NN intervals
    NN50: the number of interval differences of successiveNN intervals greater than 50 ms, and
    pNN50 the proportionderived by dividing NN50 by the total numberof NN intervals.
    The problem is dat I am a fresher to the world of Labview. I have jus recently started working on it. Can u please suggest me some some idea as soon as possible.
      As i said  I have the ECG data in the form of text files..I need to create sort of GUI to calculate the time domain parmeters....I need help urgently. Plzzz help me if u can. If u have and .vi example to calculate the RR interval plzz send it to me ASAP.
    Thanku

  • Extremely Long Render Times!!  Please help!!

    Hello,
    Let me start off by saying I am new to premier, forums, and video editing for the most part.
    My content comes from (2) GoPro Hero 4 cameras set at 4k and a Sony FDR-AX100, also set at 4k.
    MY PROBLEM (well hopefully the one you can help me with)
    I import the content into Premier Pro CC 2014 (which is all up to date) applying color correction, fades, and titles.  When I try to playback the files even with all effects turned off my computer will not do it.  I need to first render preview files.  So I select my in and out points and try to render but it takes, DAYS to complete.  For example:  A 3 minute selection on the timeline will take 70 hours to render the preview files.   After it renders, I make a few more adjustments and let my computer render for a few more days.
    I must be doing something wrong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    MY SETUP:
    I use the Nvidia CUDA architecture as my playback engine in Premier.
    Premier is installed on my internal drive. The footage & project files are kept on a WD VelociRaptor Thunderbolt Drive and my preview files are set to a second WD VelociRaptor Thunderbolt Drive.
    My preferences are set to use up to 12 gigs of ram for Premier, leaving the other 20 for other applications.  It is optimized for Memory.  I have tried most all combinations of ram setting here with little luck.  (again, I'm new and don't know what I'm doing.)
    My Premier sequence is set to be 1080p & my sequence settings are set to a width & height of 960 x 540 with the program monitor set at 1/4 quality.
    All the above and I can't even play a file.  I have nothing else open or running and have stopped everything that would normally run in the background at startup (like the iTunes helper).
    Anywho.  Thanks for taking the time to read all the above.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Warm regards,
    Alex

    A quick update for anyone stumbling on this later...
    As it turns out, I am not utilizing the full amount of RAM available to me.  In fact, I am unable to.  As it was explained to me, my workflow is bottlenecked by my processor and because I have an iMac, well, I'm stuck with what I have until I can afford to replace the machine. 
    I have 32 gigs of RAM, and with my processor at 90% use, only 9 to 10 gigs of RAM are utilized. 
    I'd rather buy a new machine (custom PC) rather than swap to FCP.  So the saving begins...
    However, I am not up the creek yet.  It was recomended I drop the quality/file size by using Media Encoder and converting all my footage to Apple ProRes files, replace clips, and finish what I started.
    I began converting last night.
    I guess we can chalk this up to Beginners Luck?
    Thanks again Steven for all your help.
    Warm regards to all,
    Alex

  • Extremly bad previews and render times.

    i have been working on a video in AE CS6 for a couple of days now but something changed after i added a 3D Solid layer with render set to ray-traced 3d, and now i can barely see my project in the compositon window as it gets
    extremly pixelated. whith extreme difficulty i managed to complete the project but when i started the render of the viedo it gave me an estimated render time of 104 hrs for just one 3d layer that is only present in the
    video for about 5 seconds out of the 4min long viedo. unfortunatly i cant enable GPU Ray-tracing because it says its not complatible even after i updated my drivers.
    Specs
    Gpu: AMD HD-7870
    Cpu: A10-5800K (APU)
    RAM: 8 gb

    That GPU is not one that After Effects will use for PGU acceleration of the ray-traced 3D renderer.
    The ray-traced 3D renderer is quite slow when it is just running on the CPU.
    For details of GPU processing, see this page:
