Extremely long rendering times

I am trying to render a 13 minute project.
FCS 2 is telling me it will take 30+ hours.
Is this normal?
Am I doing something wrong?
Best,
Evan Jacobs

So, your source clips are Quicktime Animation, and you're editing them on a "standard" timeline, whic makes me assume that it's a DV/DVCPRO NTSC timeline, with your source material residing on your internal drive.
There are a number of things here that will cause long render times:
1. The nature of the Animation codec in this situation would indeed cause longer than normal render times. Animation is a high-quality mastering codec. When used on a Sequence that is set to use a compressed codec, such as DV/DVCPRO NTSC, your clips will need to be rendered.
To check the Sequence Settings, press Command - 0 (zero).
2. It is not recommended to use your Internal drive as a scratch drive. Not only is that one hard drive reading your source files, writing render files, but it is also running your entire OS, plus any other programs that may be open. That's a LOT of work for one hard drive, so expect less than optimal performance.
Try moving your source material to an external firewire drive.

Extremely long display times for HTML in mail and Safari

Is anyone else experiencing similar lags in HTML rendering?
Since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I am experiencing extremely long render times for display HTML email messages in mail. I am also experiencing extremely long render times in Safari. I have Chrome installed on this same computer, if I goto the same website on Chrome and Safari, Chrome displays the page immediatly, Safari will take between 30sec and 1 minute.

The only way it can get fixed is if you report it to Adobe. Posting it here may not be sufficient. There is an Acrobat feature request forum here and a bug report form here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

Extremely long "reading" times in media browser

We are running CC2014 on 3 edit systems with a shared 10Gbit 36TB Synology NAS. Each workstation has approximately 12TB of local raid storage as well. We shoot P2 primarily and I have a little over 17TB archived on the Synology. Lately, we have had extremely long "reading" times in Media Browser on all the machines. I don't quite understand how Premiere is indexing and displaying as sometimes the "reading" time is relatively quick, ie. under 10 seconds and then other times it can take 3-5 minutes to display clips within a directory.
My Directory Structure is:
Media
     P2 footage
          (P2 folders/ie. cards are all saved with their shoot dates here)
          Our total archive of P2 footage is around 70 cards.
It appears that when Media Browser is pointed to a P2 Card folder it is indexing the entire "P2 footage directory, ie. all 70 cards", rather than just the individual folder containing 1 P2 card's footage. Ist this the case?
Would I get better read speeds in Media Browser if I organized my P2 footage into more directories, ie. by year and quarter or by year and month?
Really need to know how the indexing works. Does premiere cache preview files for each clip and if so, how long are these previews valid. It seems that when I media browse a new P2 Card/Folder, it has forgotten any previous preview files that have been made and cached.
Any explanation or help would be appreciated.
We have copied large numbers of cards/folders from the Synology to our local raids to see if the latency was due to the network but the results are the same when we media browse on the local raid copies.

We are working on this issue. Could you open a support case and submit your
project so we can have support see if it is fixed in a later release?

Extremely long build times using object oriented code

We have a LabVIEW application that we need to build an .exe for distrubution purposes. The application relies on several object-oriented classes for data handling and dynamic dispatch type casting and function selection. Currently it takes approximately 1.5 hours to build the application and it seems that most of the time is spent processing the object oriented files. Has anyone else seen this issue and are there any creative ways to improve the build times?

Hi again. We are still having issues using LVOOP due to extrmely long .exe build times as well as long labview loading times. I traced the source of this to one class hierarchy, shown below. This hierarchy also relies heavily on overriding top-level functions, declared as virtual VIs in the top level class, which I suspect contributes to this problem. While debugging another issue, I was trying to build a small piece of my main code into an .exe to verify its functionality and experienced the same extremely long build times. When I removed this class hierarchy from the VI, it built extremely fast. Also to be clear, I am using neither the mean function or Mean.vi anywhere in this set of code. To date we have been delighted with LVOOP and how it has made our code cleaner, mroe robust, and more maintanable. However, when creating new functionality in the code we often elect NOT to create new objects (even though they would be beneficial) because we are hesitant to introduce the extra time (load and build) required for LabVIEW to handle these classes. If our entire system was rewritten in LVOOP, I would suspect that it would become unmaintainable and unbuildable due to the LVOOP overhead. I was hoping that LV2009 would address some of these issues but, alas, it did not. Still looking for a way to improve this and thanks in advance for all of the replies.

HELP: I have an impossibly long rendering time after converting .MP4 files from Go Pro Camera to .MOV on Final Cut Pro 7. PLEASE ADVISE.

I am working on a project and shot guerilla style footage with a Go Pro camera, which produced .MP4 files incompatible with FCP7. When I converted the files to .MOV, I realized the rendering time in the sequence editor is impossibly long. I am working with a deadline and the rendering time exceeds the deadline, let alone editing time. Suggestions???

Telling us you converted to .mov doesn't tell us much. MOV is a container that supports a very wide range of codecs. It is the specific CODEC that matters.
You most likely did not convert the material to a FCP7 native format. ProRes is recommended and, given the compression of the GoPro, ProRes LT would be the best choice.
Use Compressor to convert everything to ProResLT and life will be much simpler.

FCP LONG RENDERING TIMES, MANUAL FADES J U M P I N G.... Please h e l p!

Hello
Firstly please bare with me as im trying to be thorough
I have final cut studio HD 2.
I am making a "HALO MACHINMA"(basically making a film from manipulated game footage) film for my final project at university.
My HD recorder kicks the files out a M2TS files, so since as far a sim aware FCP cannot touch these I have been converting them to HD quicktime videos using the program "Xilisoft HD converter "
Once i imported these files i was able to edit one scene fine. No issues.
However i have come back to my project a week later. I opened a NEW PROJECT so i could edit another scene without having a huge timeline. I began by using one of my clips and doing a manual opening fade with the pen tool. However rendering took far longer than usual (I have 4GB of RAM so for something so small its usually near instant), then when i went to replay it the fade kept jumping. if i manually tab the timeline bar over it using the right arrow i can see every frame, but play back jumps. (also if i export the video it doesn't jump, however i cant edit correctly like it currently is)
So my issue is, The LARGE rendering times, and the fact it jumps when played if i alter it.
Things ive tried:
I thought, well maybe if i go back to the original project i can try putting the files in there and editing, since maybe the project settings were weird on the other one. However the new files still do the same there.
SO then i thought "maybe these unedited files are corrupt or something similar" SOOOO within the original project I copied an original file that previously worked fine. HOWEVER even the old files dont work correctly. I cannot even alter the original project without HUGE rendering times, however the playback still "appears" fine on the original project.
I am also getting 2 RED rendering lines about the video and audio. where it used to only be 1. (if im correct 2 means the audio and video needs rendered)
If i place in another file like a standard quicktime or AVI i do not have a problem.
I do not understand how it once worked, now does not on these files? have some setting changed?
(when i start a new project i get the box that says the settings are wrong for this, change etc etc. I click YES -so i'm guessing its meant to work fine then)
Please help me, im running out of time on this final university project and any help will be very appreciated.
Thank you
Sam Edwards

Hi Nick
Yes the files i'm using are .MOV files. according to Xilisoft they are HD .MOV files.
although it may only claim there HD due to the high resolution. -1092x1080
ok so i clicked more info on the file and it claims its codec is MPEG-4 video, AAC.
I dont under stand that if there .MOV files then why would they have this codec?
confused.
Thank you

Extremely long compression time

I am trying to compress a 6 minute video into a quicktime movie. It starts out saying it will only take 3 minutes to share. Then it quickly moves up to 17 minutes before coming to a halt.
Anybody have any ideas on what I am doing wrong or is this common? On previous videos this has never happened. I've tried doing a different video and it is also taking an extremely long time to compress.
Thanks for the help

I think possibly it could have something to do with my video settings. I don't know much about video settings.
We are producing these videos that range from 7-30min from a video camera. We don't need audio (already took that out) and we don't need the best of quality on the video. It obviously needs to be decent enough to see what is going on without straining, but beyond that I don't need much.
Does anybody have any suggestions on the type of video settings I could use in the expert settings? I believe iMovie is trying to compress much more information than I really need. Thanks for the help.

Extreme long execution time

Hi,
lately, I realized that Jubula needs extremely long for all the progresses...
For example, deleting TestResults or after execution of TestCases, the Progress "Collecting Information" and "Writing Report to Database" needs about 15-20 minutes!!
I use the embedded database and html toolkit and my project is not big at all!
I already had larger projects and never experienced that long progresses!
Any ideas/suggestions why Jubula is suddenly working that slow?
Thanks

Hi Nicole,
Thanks for your question! I think the problem is that the h2 database isn't designed for productive use - it doesn't scale well and will indeed get slower and slower with time (not necessarily size of the project, just time).
If you need to keep using it then you can do the following:
- stop Jubula
- perform an export all to export all of the projects
- you can also copy the database files (from your home directory under .jubula) to back them up
- delete the database files from your home directory
- connect to the database: this will recreate the database
- then you can import the projects you exported
Like I say, this isn't the preferred way of working, but the steps above should help with the current performance. Bear in mind that you should ensure that you have backups before you delete the database!
Hope that helps,
Alex

Extremely long export time

Hi,
I got some big problems while exporting footage from AME and PP CC 2014. I mean – the time of exporting is extremely long. It take 4 hours to export 15 minutes of 1080p footage (with not best quality of render settings). There is no big difference in time while exporting with or without effect same as AME or PP.
I shoot my footage on SONY A7S in XAVC S and my export settings are H.264, VBR 1, 16/20.
My PC spec:
Intel Core i7 3770K 3.5 3.9 GHZ
32 GB DRR3,
HDD 2TB, SSD 128GB
GeForce GTX 770 2GB
WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 64 BIT
I will appreciate any help cos this problem make me sick already

I checked the log file and there are no errors in the file.
There are no ORA- xxxx error messages.
The last line in the log file is as follows:
"Processing object type schema_export/table/index/domain_index/index "
I just checked the export job run this morning and it is still on the same
index object "A685_IX1" . This is a spatial index. It has been sitting at
this same object according to the job status for at least 24 hours.

Long Rendering Time in Premiere Pro with Yosemite

The rendering time with Yosemite and Premiere Pro CC 2014 is stating hours for a 17 minute video (regardless of small or large file) I recently upgraded to Yosemite (mid project like a dodo-newbie to the editing world). I also recently installed a Neat video plug in. Don't know if that has anything to do with it. Should I revert back to Mavericks? Or is there something I can do?

I'M having the same problem, though it's inconsistent. When I first encoutered the issue it was a simple fix of switching to the Cuda renderer from the open CL/Cuda that is automatically selected. That little honeymoon lasted a week or so, but now I'll have 4 or 5 clips varying in length from 30 to 120 minutes and invariably one or more will get hung up and require many hours to export.
Also in the norning after a night of exporting, the ME will indicate the clip was successfully exported, but when the files are checked one or more will not be properly exported. Generally if I try again the clip will export properly and in a decent amount of time, but sometimes it takes seveeral attempts.
Add to that that I get dropped frame choppy playback about 70% of the time it becomes a very frustrating program to use professionally. My drive speeds are good at well over 120Mbs for read and write and this is only 1080/30P material.
Tried tech support via phone, which was a joke, even though I have received excellent support in the past this episode was not so. Tech didn't even give me a case number, and I forgot to request one as well, but after remote linking to my machine for an hour in which he was most of the time off the phone, he came back on said he would watch my machine, but was now hanging up.
Clearly there are issues with this release. The previous release worked fine. I just now need to figure out how to go back to the previous version.

MacBook pro Extremely long booting time After 10.10.1 + strange icons when booting

Hi all,
since the Yosemite update and the sequential patch, I've been experiencing lots and lots of issues with this releade
I posses a
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
2,5 GHz Intel Core i5
After a week after the Yosemite update my Mac just froze, and for a couple of days I was unable to access it. after 4 attempts of Clean install i was finally able to restore it. but the issue with long booting time and free after sleep/wake action are the same .
I'm experiencing strange icons during boot as follows:
Only after a second reboot and clearing ram with Cmd+Alt+P+R i'm able to get rid of this , and the reboot shows this
That after 5 mins changes into this
This routine keeps happening, every single time i have to restart my mac.
Any suggestions?
tnks

Well , i guess i a HDD issue, when i was experiencing the initial issues with yosemite , I've installed the system an external Hdd and everything was working fine.
So i guess my suspicions were correct. I have to change my hdd.

Extremely long sync time

I have an 8 gb 3G iphone w/ virtually no photos, about a gig of music, 3 gigs of video and a gig of apps. It takes 8 hours plus to sync since using 3.0. After the first sync, a daily sync only takes 20 to 30 min, with no change in music, video, photos or apps. I read a post about deleting back-up and starting over. Not working. I'm going on 7 hours again to sync and it's only 3/4 done. Any help is appreciated. I'm using an Intel iMac, 2.16 ghz with iTunes 9.02. Again, it's been like this since using 3.0 software.
TIA

I agree that it is probably related to an app. One of my apps was causing long sync times, many users reported it, and the developer figured out that he could store its content in the iPhone's "cache" area instead of its "data" area. (This was acceptable - the app creates a local mirror of one's online content). This simple change shortened sync times considerably because the sync did not need to run through all that data each time anymore. The app does its own syncing to its cloud, so it's no big loss to have it excluded from the iPhone sync.
You may have an app with a similar issue. You say you have a gigabyte of apps? That's a lot! Since most apps are tiny, that does sound like you have at least one app that maintains a large database, whether it be maps, game assets, or whatever. You should find a way or a utility to list your apps by size, because the biggest apps would be the most likely suspects.

Extremely long deploy times in Portal 9.2 in dev

Is anyone experiencing long deploy times using Eclipse with the Portal/XML Beans facets...it takes approx 30 mins to deploy our ear file. The ear contains:
3 large schemas projects (using XML Bean Builder facets)
1 Control util project
1 Portal Web Project
1 Ear Project
3 Util projects
Is there some validation options that can be turned off or other actions to speed this up?

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

Premiere Pro CS6, Extremely Long Export Times - ProRes

All,
Trying to figureout what I'm doing wrong. My sequence is 1920x1080, 29.97 and ProRes 422. The entire thing has already been rendered. I've checked "Use Previews"
See below:
Any suggestions? It's a 5:30 sequence.
Thanks!

All video movies on Mac are Quicktime, even uncompressed, which can be achieved with Quicktime None or Animation 100%. Both of those are 8-bit, though, which would defeat "Use Maximum Render Quality," if so desired.
IINM, image sequences may not require QT. But, then you migh have issues if the next app in the transcode process don't accept image sequences. And they're not available as a Preview File Format on Mac.
However, ProRes is a perfectly fine preview file format. It's just that Pr doesn't always use the Previews on export, the way it should.
I usually master to ProRes, and when doing so, Pr usually will use the Previews, and they are fast.
In any event, I don't normally experience the overly long exports from Pr. Looking back at the OP, a 2 hour export for a 5:30 sequence is outragous, and I believe is a sign of something else amiss, other than typical Pr behavior.
