I get 120 hours render time on quicktime h.264 usualy setting

My Computer :
Processor : Radeon HD graphics APU A10-5745M 2.10GHz
Ram installed : 16 Go ( 15.52 usable , 12go on AAE CC )
Graphic cards : R7 m260 and HD 8610G
My project : 10 min long , 3 audio spectrum with glow and a '' bass shake fx on all of them ''
Usual render time for 1 audio spectrum 5 min long song and bass shake FX = 30 min , Same setting
My setting Quicktime H.264 , Lossless sound , Best quality .
I try to render and i alway get between 80 and 120 hours ... make no sense , it should be max an hour . theres 20k frames to be rendered .
Now when i installed media encoder it does not help it and still is Sooooooo long to render .... im not sure how to fix this without losing quality

It seems to be helping quite a bit , but the render is still up at like 41 hours so .... i don't understand ? does having multiple audio spectrum and a bass shake effect on all of them for 11 minute increase the render time by so much ? my first video was quite fast even on h.264 ? it doesnt look that fancy to me lol

Render time. Is 11 hours render time reasonable for a 90 minute file?

I started with a 120 minute AVI file, trimmed the last 30 minutes off and am rendering it to an identical format AVI file. Is 11 hours render time reasonable? Have I set something improperly?

9 Hour Render Time?

Well, I cannot find anything on the internet about why this is happening.
Earlier, my friend and I recorded some things on the computer, not too hard, right?
Well, we recorded the footage in 1920x1080 (1080p) for the best looking picture, still following?
Now, here's what I don't understand, and, keep in mind these are only maxing out at like 18 minute videos. It took about 9 hours for the video to render with the H.264 codec! (On maximum detail, all that jazz)
If this IS what's supposed to happen, it'd be very helpful to know that, otherwise, some assistance would be nice .
Thanks!

Well, yes and no. If your 9800 GTX+ has only 512MB of VRAM, then you cannot use MPE GPU acceleration at all (and thus you're permanently stuck in MPE software-only mode) because MPE GPU acceleration requires at least 765MB of free, unused VRAM in order to work at all. And 768MB cards cannot enable MPE GPU acceleration because the Windows GUI itself eats up more than 15MB of VRAM. As such, the CUDA hack has no effect whatsoever if your particular 9800 GTX+ has only 512MB of VRAM. So, only those rare 9800 GTX+ cards with 1GB of VRAM can use MPE GPU acceleration at all.
And in any case, you will see a rather significant improvement in performance in CS5.5 when you upgrade to at least a GTX 560 Ti (even the standard one with 384 CUDA cores): That 9800 GTX+ card is an old design that has only 128 CUDA cores and has only 256-bit access to its DDR3 VRAM. If that card is a 1GB variant, it would still be slower than even a GTS 450 (or Quadro 2000) due to the limitations I described earlier in this paragraph (the GTS 450 and Quadro 2000 both have 192 CUDA cores).

Premiere-After Effects Dynamic Link render times vary wildly after minimal composition changes

Here is something strange that happens a lot to me.
I'll have a sequence in Premiere Pro CC 2014 that is entirely or largely an AE comp that I have dynamically linked. I'll use a specific case as an example, but it's happened with various projects.
In this most recent one the visual (but not audio) of my Premiere sequence is one AE dynamically linked comp of about 90 seconds. It's more or less a fancy slide show- some photos with moves, some text, motion blur, masking, maybe a few filters. Fairly basic stuff as far as After Effects goes.
Anyhow, I like to render the sequence in Premiere and then watch it down with music to see if the timing works and make adjustments from there. That's my usual workflow. The strange thing is that when I render, the render times can vary tremendously. With this particular project, one time rendered in about 2 minutes in Premiere. I watched it down and I noticed a spelling error, which I fixed. Just changing one word of text in AE. This, of course, causes the entire linked comp to need to be rendered again in Premiere. This time when I go to render, it took about 20 minutes and it only got about 70% of the way through. A huge difference and all I changed was a couple letters, which shouldn't impact how intensive of a render is needed. What I usually do is cancel the render when it takes that long, then quit Premiere, reopen, and render right away after I open. When I do this, after the application restart, the sequence will then render in the faster approximately 2 minute duration. Almost invariably this is true.
So I end up quitting and restarting Premiere a lot to get the faster render times. But of course that's annoying.
What is going on here?
I know that some might have critiques of the workflow and watching in Premiere and the fact that one letter change forces the entire sequence re-render. I know I could break it up and there are ways around that. But I am not interested in such critiques. My work flow actually is quite efficient when the 2 minute render time happens. Just not when it takes 10x more than that for the same thing. Why are there these huge render time swings?
My guess is that some cache gets filled up, so when the application is just started, and the cache is empty, the render works much better. But I really do not know.
Help please.

There is currently a bug that causes Dynamic Link performance to be poor when the main After Effects application is running. (The underlying issue is that the main After Effects application is sending many more messages during Dynamic Link than it needs to.)
The easy workaround is to quit the main After Effects application when using Premiere Pro to process a dynamically linked After Effects composition.
This bug is fixed in an update due to be released in less than two weeks.

What would be a conventional, frame-based codec? Thank you so much for the help!
Uncompressed AVI is one, but the file sizes are going to surprise you. Quicktime with the PNG codec is usually smaller, but still huge. Quicktime with the PhotoJPEG codec is even smaller. Some popular choices that are even smaller are DNxHD and Cineform (either MOV or AVI). They're still going to be much larger than the H.264, but that's okay!
For many (most) professionals, the usual workflow is to render a lossless file (or nearly lossless) out of AE and then use the Adobe Media Encoder or Premiere to create the final deliverable. There are several reasons, but one is that AE is not very good at rendering h.264 files (and there are some very technical reasons for this). Anyway, the AE team deprecated the h.264 rendering in the latest version of After Effects because of it.
In your case, I would suggest rendering into a TIFF sequence (or something similar). This way, if there is a crash or something, you can pick your render up at the last frame it rendered rather than having to start at the beginning. I always do this when I'm doing 3d work and the render is going to be over an hour. Then you can bring that TIFF sequence into Premiere as if it's a video file, put your audio and everything to it, and send your final H.264 render from Premiere.

I use Week Cal on the iPod. I think it was only $1.99. It is a lot better and does a lot more than the one that came with the Palm Pilot.
As you know, unlike the Palm Pilot, the iPod does not come with a desktop application that you can sync your iPod calendar to. Since I don't use Outlook, I have to use a Cloud based calendar to sync with my PC. I use Hotmail's calendar for that. (If your computer is a MAC, you can use iCal)

I have windows 7 and just purchased quicktime pro, I get error-2000 ever time I try and open a dvd.

Neither QuickTime Player or the Pro upgrade can play commercial DVD's.
The MPEG-2 format found on non DRM DVD's requires additional software.

How do I get the hour (24 hour format) from a stored Time value

I have a field called start_time in a mysql database and all I need to do but unable to do so far is extract the hour in 24 hour format (no leading zeros) from this field. I have tried all the date functions including date('G'), getdate and start_time[hours] array.
I keep getting either todays date & time, or just he first digit in the hour.
The following is the closest it has come to working but this is the on ethat is return just the first digit of the hour if there is two digits in the 24 hour format (ex: 2 pm = 14, it returns oly the 1)
<?php
$start_time = $row['start_time'];
$hour = $start_time[hours];
?>
PLEASE HELP ! I have spent too much time on such a menial task. I think part of my problem is I am running PHP 4.
Thanks in advance,
Marcus

Thanks for the response David:
Do you mean like the following ? I don't seem to get a value
<?php
     mysql_select_db($dbname,$link_id);
      $lookup = "SELECT * FROM $tbl";
      $result = mysql_query($lookup);
          while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
                $query = "SELECT HOUR(start_time) AS start_hour FROM $tbl";

                $hour = $row['start_hour'];                  // I tried using $rslt['start_hour']; as well and that did not work either

Help - Getting slower render times with AE CS6

Hi everyone
Wonder if anyone else is getting as described?
I have a 3m37s project which is predomnantly motion graphics using live shot footage (.MXF files), Illustrator and a few JPGs.
In CS5 AE I get render times which average around 45mins, so I thought I'd see how quickly CS6 could crank it out by - as you can see I'm getting times which are in excess of 2 almost 3hours!
The project contains a few 2.5D moves as well as tiny bit of Trapcode 3D Stroke
I have mentioned on this forum that I'm having the Error 5070 problems with start up and Ray Trace is unavailable but these times seem seriously wrong to me.
Mac Pro 3,1 (2x 2.8GHZ)
20GB RAM
OS 10.7.4
NVIDIA GeForce GT8800
NVIDIA Quadro 4000 both on GPU Driver 207.00.00.f06
CUDA Driver 4.2.10
All files are on a 2TB drive (7200rpm)
Rendering to a 1TB drive (7200rpm)
Corsair SSD 60gb Cache drive
As an observation when I watch the frames counter ticking over, CS5 seems to steadily work it's way through the render at around less than a frame a second, CS6 seems to crank out 2-6 frames then hold for 30secs before working on another batch. It crawls to a halt near the end.
Can anyone offer any help or advice?
So far I'm not having a great time with my CS6 transition
Thanks
Rob

Thanks Rick - Yes what confused me was that it only took 45mins in CS5 even with MP 'on'
Still having no joy with Ray Tracing though, even though I have a Quadro 4000 card, I get the 5070 error on start up. Any ideas?

Hi i received the nano 7th gen for Christmas and I only seem to get 5 hours of battery life. I use the Bluetooth and Nike app so I expect more drain on the battery. But I got more time out of running with my iPhone. Does this sound normal? I thought I should get close to 30 hrs of just play time alone.
ALso, my wife got me the Belkin armband to run with the nano but I sweat through the band resulting in the back of the iPod to get wet. Surely this is not good. Anyone have a recommendation for an armband that keeps moisture away from the pod?

iPod Nano are small and they don't use Wi-Fi access so you get less power time on a Nano. As for iPhone, since you got apps, Wi-Fi + 3G access, and everything else, they give you more time so you can keep using. Nanos are ment to listen to music, listen to radio, view your photos, watch videos (without Wi-Fi) and since you got BlueTooth on the nano, it counts as wireless access so it drains your battery faster.

Installing Maverics: time remaining about 120 hours

I'm installing Maverics from t'ha Apple Store.
Downloading took less than 30 minutes on my high speed connection.
After reinstalling Maverics is installing saying 'Time remaining: About 120 hours and 17 minutes'
i don't want to spend 120 hours!!!
please help.

Problem seems solved. Remaining time didn't change but the Mac rebooted. Now says 'Completing installation... About 4 minutes remaining'
That sounds much better.
Anyhow it seems Maverics has a problem estimating installation time.

Render Times on FCP Not Accurate?

Hi, <- My casual Greeting
Hopefully there are a few video editors out there on the forum... cause this one is program specific....
So I have been an avid Final Cut Pro guy for the last 4 years. I love the program.... I can work very easily in it but recently I got a new job in which I have been using both FCP and Adobe Premier.
Here is my issue... I have been using files that come in as MPEG 2 and have been using MPEG Streamclip to convert them over to a ProRes file for FCP. From FCP I have had to export them into 3 formats
1. Mpeg 4 (the file format our website takes)
2. FLV (Format for online video sites)
3. QuickTime (XDCAM) for our tricaster
The last week I have been using FCP and my render times have been (for a 5 min clip)
1. Mpeg 1 hour+
2. FLV 20 min+
3. QuickTime (XDCAM) 1 hour +
Yesterday I was told to use Premier as my boss uses Premier on a regualr basis and I assured him that the times would be the same as FCP is a Mac native program and that Premier was made to work on a mac but is essentially a PC program (I am eating my words now)...
I redid the renders on the same file...
On premier the render times were
1. Mpeg 30+ min
2. FLV 12 min
3. QuickTime (XDCAM) 40 min
Why is this? Do I just have something really messed up in my settings that FCP is not rendering quickly and Premier is? I would hate to have to hop over to Premier... I enjoy using FCP way to much.
The other question I have is why are FCP render times not accurate...
The renders will start saying 5 min then 10 then an hour etc.... and the time will not be accurate. If it says 5 min it may go for an hour... or if it says an hour it may just complete while still telling me I have an hour to wait.
Adobe Premier, right off the bat, will tell me the frame it is on and the percent and time left... almost to the T.
If possible... please help me get my fcp back on the right track.
Tim

Rendering can be much faster if you have a multi core intel Mac and you use Qmaster with Quick Clusters.
Here's how.
Set up Quick Clusters in Qmaster. (A description of how to do this is in the manual and also can be found in the Qmaster forum here in the Apple discussions as well as out on the web.)
Export your sequence from FCP using "current settings". (Do NOT use Quicktime Conversion!)
Open up Compressor and submit your file. Add the three output elements.
Submit the file and click "use unmanaged services"
Go have a cup of coffee while all the cores chug away at things. I guarantee it will be faster than the way you are currently exporting (if you aren't using clusters)

Render time has INCREASED!

I'm running FCP 6.0.4 on a Quad 3GHZ Mac Pro with 8GB of RAM. I am working with Sony XDCAM HD 1080i (35MBS, VBR) footage.
I edit a 28:30 local TV program and have produced over 20 episodes so far. Its a fairly simple format and most of the shows are relatively the same, so I had grown accustomed to consistent render times. The main element that needs rendering on every show is a small animated logo in the lower right frame. It is on-screen for 95% of the program. For the first 20 episodes, even with some select clips having multiple layers of graphics and color effects, to render the entire show, it would take 2-4 hours at the most. Again, these render times were consistent for the first 20 shows or so.
However, for the last few shows, I am experiencing extremely long render times for the same format I've been working with for over a year. It now takes 8-12 hours to render the entire show. I have four internal 750GB hard drives. I do not store any footage on the OS drive and I always make sure I have more than 30% free space on my source disk.
Would anyone have any idea why render times would have drastically increased?? Was there a recent
software update or something that may have caused this, either with Leopard or FCS?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Run, don't walk, to the Aja site and download a copy of their Kona System Test utility. It's PowerPC, which is a little annoying because it takes a long time to launch. But it's a great tool to test disk I/O performance. (Also, despite the name it is not in any way related to the various Kona I/O boards. I haven't received by LHe yet, and I've been using the System Test tool for ages to keep an eye on my framestore bandwidth.)
For comparison's sake, I get on the order of 160 MB/s reads and writes on my framestore. It's a very humble configuration, just two internal 750 GB SATA drives striped using Disk Utility. If you're getting less than that, something ain't right.
How exactly are you setting up your projects? Are your timelines using the XDCAM compressor, or are you using ProRes? If you're using an XDCAM timeline, do you have ProRes rendering turned on? Do you send your finished shows back out to XDCAM, or do you go out in some other format? I ask this part because it's possible — though since you've been doing these shows for a while you almost certainly already know this — that you don't actually need to stay in the XDCAM format at all, unless you're going back out to XDCAM media. If you're laying off to some other mastering format, or going out with a Quicktime master, you can skip rendering back to XDCAM entirely, which may save you hours and hours.

Render times increasing progressively, exponentially

I am working with some high-res quicktimes (1280x1024) from SnapZ. I have pre-processed the clips to be native to my final frame rate (23.98) I have cut the basic full-frame clips to VO in a sequence matching the clips' settings, then pasted them into a DV sequence, where I'll be adding SD cutaways and zooming in on parts of the interface. (It's software training stuff)
I'm noticing some very strange behavior when rendering just the backgrounds in the SD sequence. If I render all, it starts out rendering at what I would consider normal speed, estimating about an hour, but then starts slowing down until the estimated render time is over 10 hours for about 9 minutes of content. All the clips hve identical motion settings, no overlays, filters, etc.
If I cancel the render, and select everything but the first partially-rendered clip, now it estimates about 14 minutes to render, and in fact renders much more of the timeline, but then it starts slowing down again. Removing the partiallly rendered clip from the selection wiill speed it up again, but once one clip has slowed its render down, it will no longer render at normal speed.
I suspect that there is some cache file that is getting clogged up with data from my hi-res media, and slowing down the process. I am running FCP 5.1.4, OS 10.4.9, on a 2.66 Intel Mac Pro with 5GB of RAM. My processor usage is at around 14% on all four processors during render.
Any suggestions for which files to trash to clear the clog from my render pipeline?

nope, just a series of hi-res quicktimes scaled down in the DV sequence, no filters, graphic overlays, etc. All the clips are handled the same way.
The clips themselves are from SnapZ, and I had to nest them into sequences and re-export them to fix the frame rate issue. The whole 10fps issue was very stubborn, but I found that I could nest them into sequences and batch export them using item settings, which resulted in clips I knew would match the settings of my cusotm hi-res sequences exactly.
FCP gets pretty sluggish when I am working in the native resolution, but I need to keep the full-res clips so I can add the zooms later. To share the content between sequences, I had to get the frame rates all locked down to 23.98. I just don't understand how two clips with identical settings in one sequence can require longer render times by a factor of 40.
I haven't been able to find any obvious settings or files I can modify to un-clog the rendering so far. Perhaps there is some master/affiliate relationship between the hi-res insatnce and the DV instance. I'll try a replace edit with the master clip and see if it speeds things up at all.

I get 120 hours render time on quicktime h.264 usualy setting
