Increase export times

Hi all-
I'm under the gun a bit with a Friday deadline and tons of video to export into h.264 files destined for streaming.
As always, I'm just doing a Export>Using Quicktime conversion with the settings that I like, but the export times are pretty brutal. 20 minutes or so for a five minutes of video. My machine usually runs pretty fast.
One thing that is a bit different is that I'm using some very long sequences. Upwards of 3.5 hours. But, I'm using in and out markers to cut into 3-5 minute clips. My assumption would be that FCP is looking only at the in and out markers, so I don't know why the size of the sequence might matter, but perhaps it does. Maybe I should cut my sequences smaller - though again - I can't imagine why that would matter? Any thoughts on this or other ways that I can expedite a bit without lowering quality settings?
Also, I typically only use compressor when I'm exporting to an mpeg format, but can I use compressor to generate h.264? That way maybe I could create a batch that could render some of these clips overnight?
Any thoughts or advice on how I can pick this up a bit is definitely appreciated.
Warm regards-
David

I figured as much (though I can't really check the export utility now, because I'm in the middle of a brutally long export of a five minute clip).
I'll do that for overnight.
How about while I'm awake? I always prefer to monitor things vs. the overnight batch. In your experience does exporting to h.264 through compressor work faster than through export using qt conversion?
Maybe I'll give that a "go" with one clip once this current job is done and see for myself.

  • Help to increase exporting time?

    I have been working on several animated videos (in CS6) for the last few weeks but as of last night, the exporting times have slowed down by up to 4x the usual speed. I am on a very tight deadline and hoping someone can help? I am working on a Mac Pro. Thanks

    Hope this helps... answered the questions as best I could

  • LR4 - Anyone notice slower export times - RAW to JPG?

    I read through the "Lightroom 4 is slow" thread - very good reading. I have noticed many of the same issues & hope Adobe is paying attention to that thread!
    No one mentioned a slowdown in exporting RAW files to JPG. My average time for exporting Canon 7D CR2 files to full sized 300dpi JPGs in LR 3 is about 5.3 seconds per file. The same exports in LR 4 are about 8 seconds per file.
    I can learn to live with this increased exporting time. I'm curious as to whether anyone else is experiencing this.

    Yes.  For me, Canon G12 & 40D RAW files are taking twice as long to export under LR4 than under 3.6 - 16 secs vs 8 secs after the same processing.  But I am also seeing the same general latency problems identified in other threads here.  I've reverted back to 3.6 after trying every possible workaround posted so far - LR4 is unusable for me.

  • Long export times

    My company is moving over to Premiere Pro CC from FCP 7. As a relatively newer user of Premiere Pro CC (2014v8.1) I'm trying to figure out how to set my system for faster exports.
    For Example;
    I edited a project in 720p (media was shot in 4K-Sony SxS) import and playback were fine until adding basic Color correction. Then extremely choppy playback until I rendered the timeline.
    Exported the 14:27 timeline to XDcam422HD 60(50mbps) 59.94fps with a data rate 50.11Mbits/s.
    It took  1hour and 18minutes to export!
    For an experiment, I re-edited the exact sequence in Final Cut Pro X 10.10.4 (I have a copy on the same machine) Did the same export.
    Both Files are identical in size, Mbits.sec, etc.  The Export time was 7 Minutes!
    I am sure there has to be a group of settings that I am not aware, that I haven't tweaked or modified to improve the export times.
    Like I said the company is moving us to Premiere ProCC and I want to make sure I can export nearly as quickly. These export times seem unbelievably long and must not have something not set correctly.
    My Sysytem is:
    Mac Pro (Late 2013)
    3.5 GHz 6 core Xeon E5
    Graphics card: AMD Firepro D500 3072
    16GB Ram
    Yosemite 10.10.1
    Premiere Pro CC 2014:
    V8.1
    Mercury Transit is enabled
    13 GB allocated to PPro
    Any help would be appreciated as we will roll this out division wide (about 35 edit stations) within a year.
    Thanks in Advance
    Mark

    For those interested, This has been solved by removing the "adjust color" filter from my timeline and using the the "use previews" check box. Render speed increased to just 11 minutes. Thanks

  • Export time has quadrupled in Snow Leopard

    Hey...
    since my upgrade to Snow Leopard, the export time in iMovie HD has increased at least 4x. Currently I'm exporting a 43 min piece of video and it's taken over 5 hours, with about 10 min left.
    Is anyone else experiencing this? Got any ideas how to fix it?
    Also... my Motion 3 exports have gotten slower as well.

    before you ask.... I'm exporting 640/480 H264

  • Massive export times

    Hello,
    Reading the FCP X Help topics etc I think I have a good understanding of import/export criteria. However, I have it from some peers that I could do much better with regard to reducing the massive render times I am experiencing.
    Currently the render time for an 8minute clip is 26 hours using Compressor 4 using preset 'HD 1080 Video Sharing (H2.64) - AAC
    BACKGROUND:
    OS X 10.8.3 (12D78)
    17-inch, Late 2008 MacBookPro
    2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    FCX 10.0.8
    Raw footage is 1920 - 1080 from Canon D7 card -  copied to an external HD.
    Import settings: both proxy and optimised - both with huge export times as above.
    Destination to Movei folder or desktop
    The 8 minute sequence includes filters which I know will increase processing time, but by this much is pretty horrendous. (a 'preset' colour correction + sharpen + manual colour correction)
    My understanding is that if I import - or later convert all footage - into optimised files - these become ProRes222 files which will give me much faster render and export times. But this does not seem to be happening.
    It simply is not efficient or practical to myself or any clients to have 25 - 30 hour export times for 8 minute sequences
    My impression is that this computer is simply not up to  faster rendering/export processing - but my peers tell me my currrent render/export times are rediculously long.
    Can any one advise please.
    Thank you.

    Phillip,
    Clearly, your hardware is not the latest-greatest and your GPU has got to be a weak link in the export process. (As you probably know, FCP relies a lot on the GPU.) However, the times you are experiencing are way over the top. Our 15 inch MBP has only slightly better specs and we've never experienced anything close to what you're relating,
    Make a new event with h.264 .mov clips from the 7D.. In a new project, assemble a simple 60 second sequence – no effects of some of those  clips  Open Activity Monitor, Export and time the export as h.264. Check AM to see whether you see anything weird going on. Then transcode the clips to Pro Res. Make a new project and export as PR 522– again, time the export and monitor.
    Neither one of these exports should take longer than 5 minutes. If they do, I would suspect something funky going on with hardware. Speaking of hardware, if you're going to be editing with FCPX this machine, max out the RAM.
    Post back with what you find.

  • How to increase the time at the end of what aaa requeries the authentication of a client web

    Hi All,
    I configure ASA aaa to authentificate our internal web client to access to internet. It's check the username/password of client in our Active Directory.
    When the client initiate the first connexion, the ASA request the login connexion and when it's correct, it authorise the access. But after 10 min for exemple, it's request again the login, and so one and so one. Approximativelly, after each ten minute, it requeste an username/password.
    I want to know how can i increase the time between two authentifcation. Or increase the time of 10 min.
    Thanks.

    The authentication timeout is configurable via the "timeout uauth" command, and you can set either absolute or inactivity timeout.
    Here is the command for your reference:

    I looked in the NQSConfig.ini file for you. In here you find the following:
    [ CACHE ]
    ENABLE     =     YES;
    // A comma separated list of <directory maxSize> pair(s)
    // e.g. DATA_STORAGE_PATHS = "d:\OracleBIData\nQSCache" 500 MB;
    DATA_STORAGE_PATHS     =     "/oracle/oaobi01/data/ontwbif1013/OracleBIdata/cache" 500 MB;
    MAX_ROWS_PER_CACHE_ENTRY = 100000; // 0 is unlimited size
    MAX_CACHE_ENTRY_SIZE = 1 MB;
    MAX_CACHE_ENTRIES = 1000;
    I think you can do something with this...
    You can find the nqsconfig.ini in this directory:<Install Drive>\OracleBI\server\Config

  • Sql memory usage increase each time win app runs

    Hi,

    Hi,
    Sql memory usage increases each time when win app runs. Why does it work like this? Is it normal ?
    Yes, it is perfectly normal for SQL Server to acquire and hold onto large amounts of memory indefinitely.  This memory improves performance by avoiding disk I/O, query plan compilation and costly memory management. 
    On a dedicated SQL Server you should usually let SQL Server dynamically manage memory.  It will release memory if it detects memory pressure.  But if you often run other applications on the server than need significant amounts of memory (e.g. IIS,
    application services), you may want to set max server memory as suggested.

    If the OP is asking about the notifications generated by the new

  • Trying to shorten export time

    Been trying to export 1920x1080 using h.264 codec for posting on web. I first set up my own Export but took 8 hrs to finish 35%. Been looking at the Apple Devices 720 or 1080 options now. I switch options from Apple Device to Web Hosting but there's no indication of changes in size changes the size and therefore length of time to export (generally). Tho Apple Devices produces a "protected MPEG-4" movie and Web Hosting a "Quicktime" movie.
    Any suggestions on choices for export?
    OR
    Has anyone had problems withi export time and then solved them? If so, how?
    Any other tips appreciated.

    My workflow for a YouTube project is:
    Completely render the project before exporting.
    Export to whatever the current codec is set for (so... just Export with current settings), typically ProRes 422(HQ) [my general preference established when creating a project] or sometimes ProRes LT and if necessary, ProRes 4444.  It really doesn't matter, when the project is completely rendered and exporting to a ProRes format, the export is about 1/5 to 1/2 run time (about 2 - 5 minutes for every 10 of video -- probably dependent on your storage bandwidth.)
    Exporting H.264 for YouTube of Vimeo straight out of FCPX is *absolutely pointless* since FCPX does not offer any quality options (always exports highest quality H.264) and YouTube and others are just going to recompress down to their limit anyway.  I never give YT that opportunity...
    I use Quicktime 7 Pro (about 100,000 times easier than compressor [hyperbole]) to transcode to YouTube specifications. The maximum bandwidth YT will "place" is 5Mbps... so I transcode to, at most, 5Mbps.  Turn on Auto Key Frames; Turn off Frame Reordering; Data Rate Restrict to 5000 kbits/sec; Optimize for Streaming; Compressor Quality (max available) to High; Encoding to Best Quality (Multi-pass).  For the Size options, I use the HD settings from the top section (anything below the start of NTSC will create broadcast tv "safe" video [overscan] and will not be completely compatible with digital targets such as YT [it will be smaller].) I also set Preserve Aspect Ratio Using Letterbox (YT used to have problems with 1920x1080 video being a little "squished" vertically to compensate for the transport controls... probably just habit now.)  Audio: Format AAC; Sample Rate 48000; Variable bit rate ~192kbps. And check the Prepare for Internet Streaming checkbox and select Fast Start.  Except for the variable bit rate audio and the letterboxing stuff, these are the specifications YT put down in its documention.
    Converting from the ProRes output from FCPX to the H.264 for YT in QT7Pro is actually faster than trying to export H.264 directly out of FCPX (and compressor for that matter...)
    I find if you simply change the m4v filletype to .mov, you don't need all the web page stuff that gets generated, you can simply load the video up in a browser from a direct URL.  Exporting to Apple Devices is a quick way to transcode 1080 out of FCPX to the smaller sized 720 video when necessary.
    Here's an example of an .m4v Apple Devices video with the filetype manually changed to .mov:
    http://sight-creations.com/video/2.5demo_noPS.mov
    Will it upload to YT? Yep: here's the proof: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yH1mIli8EpA (but this one has no audio -- be very careful about the audio settings of what you upload to YT... they don't like Linear PCM [AIFF, WAV, etc... YT wants AAC])

    I'm using ios5 in iphone4, but the 'other' capacity in itunes is keeping increasing every time after sync the iphone4 from PC, now the 'orther' usage is 0.64G.

    You are of course deleting the tunes from within the iTunes interface.
    The settings that I am referring to are your device settings for the iPad. It should show in the left column of iTunes when your iPad is plugged in.
    Go through your playlists and make sure that the tunes(s) are removed from any playlist. You can prevent the sync as noted above then do a sync and the iPad should update with the content from you Mac.

  • Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?

    Why does PDF file size increase each time I "save" tagging tasks?
    Given:
    1) I'm running Acrobat Pro 11.0.07 (this is most current version)
    2) My file size starts at 750mb and ends up 15mb when finished tagging.
    3) Only certain documents experience this increase, i.e., no visible pattern of document characteristics
    4) PDF's are not full of images...in fact, mostly <H1> <H2> <H3> <P> <Figure> alt text, ect.
    5) Occurs with text PDF's and/or fillable forms (again, does not happen to all documents...only some)
    6) File increase occurs incrementally as tagging tasks are performed; i.e., each new save increases file size a few megabytes.
    7) Occurs whether I "save" or "save as"
    8) Difficult to optimize these files without corruption
    9) I'm running Mac OS 10.9.4 (this is most current version)

    Thank you so much for responding! I've been experimenting with the SAVE AS vs. SAVE for the past few days...and you are correct. It's funny because I've been tagging files for 2 years and never noticed this. Probably b/c I use both methods depending on the tagging tasks...some are more complicated than others and should not be overwritten. In those cases I SAVE AS new file.
    I love this forum...thank you again!
