I know that there have been lots of posts about render times

but can someone explain the dramatic increase in render times when I upgraded to fcp 5.0 from 4.5. I am rendering a project originally started in 4.5 and it is only 2 minutes of ntsc dv 48khz. My render times went from 2-3 min (5 max in a bigger project) to 47 minutes. I used very few transitions. This is a very straight forward project and it is making me nutty.
Thanks
Jim

One contributing factor may be that the sampling has been switched from Fast Linear (the only option in pre-5) to Medium, which takes longer. Try ctrl-clicking on your sequence and selecting Settings... and changing it and see if you don't get an improvement.

  • I know that there has been a big problem with logic boards on the MacBook Pro - shouldn't there be a recall? When I searched online about this problem was surprised to see so many MacBook Pro users with the same problem.

    My computer was on one minute and off the next and will not restart. I took it to the apple store and
    They said it is the logic board. I have been researching it and see that many MacBook Pro users have
    Had the same issue. Doesn't seem fair to have to pay for something faulty on Apple's end. The computer
    Is less than 3 years old. I expected it to work for a lot longer than this. Is there anything I can do that won't
    Cost me? Also, how do I retrieve my files. I know they are on the hard drive but how do I get to them without
    Having apple do it and probably charge me?

    Did you buy AppleCare?
    I guess not or you wouldn't be complaining.
    how do I retrieve my files. I know they are on the hard drive but how do I get to them without

    Easy, open it up, remove the drive and use a SATA to USB adapter to another Mac (or Windows PC with MacDrive)
    My computer is dead, is my personal data lost?
    For iPhoto Library, that's really a folder (it looks like a package) it can be right clicked on by OS x and "show package contents" to get the Origianls out.
    However I don't know right off hand how that would appear on a Windows PC, perhaps as a iPhoto Library folder, perhaps not.
    But the files are on the drive, and Data Rescue (Windows) can always be used to grab them directly.
    iTunes Library can be transfered to a PC, as long as the account name is the same, it should work fine and maintain your playlists hopefully, but the music is easily accessible.

  • When i try to connect to facebook with firefox, facebook wants me to send in card informaion and says that there have been unusually behavior in my account even thought it hasnt, it works in every other browser?

    When i try to connect to Facebook with Firefox, Facebook tells me to Verificate my account with my cardnumber and also my adress, it tells me that We detected some unusually behavior in your account, for your security in order to can access your account please send us all requried informations, the credit card number must be yours or a member of your family. We won't save the credit card in our datebase and won't make any charges. We ask only for verification purpose.
    Why is this? Facebook works with every other browser and on other computers and i dont have trojan.

    I had the same prob. but recently i just formated my laptop and after that it starts working finely in firefox i think it was a kind of virus that discont. after formating the laptop. only windows drive....

  • Inbox message panel is blank, but I know that messages have been received

    I am able to send messages, and receive them, but I can't see the received messages. My POP3 inbox message panel is blank yet the Inbox indicator at the left says 10 messages. I can hear new messages come in, but I can't view them. I repaired permissions, but that didn't work. I can see them on my MBP, but not on the desktop iMac. Advice please.

    I am unable to rebuild the mailbox (greyed out) or solve the problem. However I did a workaround by creating a new mailbox and directing messages to it via a rule. Apparently no one else has had this strange problem with no apparent solution.

  • I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

    As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
    I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
    The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • I am having issues with my iphone6 bluetooth connection in my car.  When going to settings under bluetooth, it is unable to find any devices.  I did not have this issue until I downloaded IOS 8.0.2.  Do you know if there has been any resolution yet?

    I am having issues with my iphone6 Bluetooth connection in my 2013 Mercedes C Class.  When going to settings under Bluetooth, it is unable to find any devices.  I did not have this issue until I downloaded IOS 8.0.2.  Do you know if there has been any resolution from Apple yet?

    Hi susan from WSL, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that when your Bluetooth accessories, such as your car connection, do not work as expected it can be very frustrating. In this situation, I would recommend working through the troubleshooting steps provided in the attached article. 
    If you can’t use a Bluetooth accessory or car kit
    Cheers,

  • HT1386 After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone.  Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased?

    After syncing my iphone I found that all of my notes were erased from the phone.  Is there any way to retrieve the notes now that they have been erased?  I had some very important notes that I have to be able to find.  Anyone know how?

    I think those contacts still in iphone database. So you can back up you iphone with itunes to get iphone database off your iphone. Then access the SQLite batabse.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    All data included with the backup is stored in a SQLite database format with the data within various folders not easily accessible.There are some 3rd party utilities that provide for extracting select data from an iPhone's backup and iphone database such as this one.

    my usb that i have been using on my computer for a while suddenly stopped working, but is still glowing and letting me know that it is connected, but not showing up in disk utility

    Either the physical drive or the enclosure electronics has failed. The light you are seeing is powered by the USB connection, the power, electricity, all USB ports put out. That doesn't mean the actual physical hard drive or the USB to SATA bus electronics are working properly. If it doesn't show in Disk Utility then it is DEAD.
    Most of the time it is the enclosures electronics that fail. Removing the physical drive from the enclosure and put it in another enclosure or using a SATA to USB adapter, one that has it's own AC power supply, might allow you to get the files off the drive.

    hi me kashif Hello people,
    I lost all my contacts on my iPhone. Facebook contacts integration is turned off. When I got to know that I have no contacts on my iPhone. I checked my settings and iCloud backup and contacts on iCloud (in settings) were off.
    Is there a solution to get all my contacts back? Please help me. I want my contacts back, as soon as possible.
    Thank you in advance.
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.4

    Unless as part of a backup, or stored somewhere else, they are gone.
    Your son needs his own Apple ID for iCloud, FaceTime & iMessage. He can continue to use yours for iTunes content, but for everything else, he needs his own.
    When you did what you did, as far as iCloud knows, this is the same person with multiple devices, and that's they way things are supposed to work: keep everything in sync.

  • With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?

    With Windows 7 Home Premium, whenever I start iTunes, I get a message that colors have been reverted to Windows Basic because iTunes won't support my Windows Aero configuration.  Is there a fix for the incompatibility?  I don't mind the color changes, but I'm having an external speaker problem that could be related to the incompatibility (at random times--usually several hours after start-up, my external speakers--connected via my Samsung Central Station's wireless docking station and computer-installed dongle--shut off and won't play until I restart.  I've investigated other options, but iTunes may be the problem.)  Thanks.

    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Trying to do a password update but it asks me for a four digit pass code. Does anyone know if that would have been a significant date or set of letters or numbers I was prompt for in the past when I first bought my phone?  Thanks.

    Trying to do a password update but it asks me for a four digit pass code. Does anyone know if that would have been a significant date or set of letters or numbers I was prompt for in the past when I first bought my phone?  Thanks.

    It rather depends on where you are seeing the demand for a passcode. If, as I assumed, you are trying to change the password at http://appleid/apple.com then that will ask for a passcode if 2-step verification has been set up. On the other hand, if, as Csound1 has assumed, you have changed the password on that website and are trying to enter it in your phone (for which you need to sign out completely before you can do this) and are being asked for a passcode that can only be one you set yourself (unless of course the phone is second-hand in which case that would open a whole new can of worms).

    You can find the connection settings in Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection<br />
    If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then select "No Proxy"

    Is there a log of numbers that iMessages have been sent to?
    Blank iMessages are being sent from my account without me sending them.

    Ok. I've just read up some support forums & realise that there are no logs of numbers unless I've backed up on iCloud.
    But can some genius please tell me why blank messages are being sent rom my account/number/email??

    Since you have Lion v10.7.4 installed, use Lion Recovery to repair the startup disk if necessary, or reinstall the Mac OS X.

    I gave my old MacBook Pro away and no longer have access to it. I didn't think to deauthorize it first. I DO NOT want it to have access to all music in my iCloud or any music that may have been downloaded sinceI gave away the computer. It now belongs to my teenage daughter,who has since been in my WI-FI area and knows that code. I had EVERYTHING removed from the computer before I gave it to her (long story), but since I hadn't deauthorized the Mac,I'm assuming even without the itunes password the iCloud material would had loaded onto her computer.My iCloud had somehow included personal voice mails under Unknown Artist that I did not want on there or shared. How can I deauthorize the Mac Laptop without having the machine available to do it on? Change the iTunes/iCloud password? I should now have my desktop computer, new PC (Aspire) laptop,Ipod Touch, and if possible my Evo 3D as well as my boyfriend's Samsung smartphone being able to access the iCloud account/library--whatever it is called. HELP

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.
