Rendering VERY slow or stays at 0% before crashing...

I am working in a project with multiple clips - up to 10 layers of video and audio at any one time. I'm using all proxy files. I am using split screen effects on most of it and other effects also. Lots of compound clips and I am also cartooning the whole thing by putting the effect on one big compound clip. The whole video is 3minutes long. I've managed to cartoon the whole thing (after hours of waiting and multiple freezing on 28%) but there is still more rendering to do within the large compound clip that I have cartoonise (for some reason nothing within the large compound clip would render unless I click inside the compound clip - is this normal?). So anyway the rendering left to do seems to stay on 0% forever without budging and then eventually the dreaded beachball comes up and it crashes. It's driving me mad. Frankly the whole rendering thing is taking hours and it just seems messed up - again, is this normal?
I'm using latest iMac 3.4Ghz. Core i7 16GB Ram. All event and project files are on an external My Book Firewire 800. I am running no other programs during rendering.
I tried looking in library-preferences to delete them and restart but I couldn't find them! I haven't tried reinstalling. I logged in froma different user as I read you can test if it works better...but doesn't that mean I have reinstall Final Cut again..? Might as well just do a reinstall no?
Any solutions to these problems? I just started using this program...any other recormmendations of video editing software? I won't be able to stand this much longer...

This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance - you may have already addressed some of the items - and some are relevant to playback rather than rendering, but it's worth checking.
Make sure you're using the latest version of the application - FCP X 10.0.5 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.5.
First, check that you have at least 20% free space on your system drive.
For smooth playback without dropping frames, make sure 'Better Performance' is selected in the FCP X Preferences - Playback Tab.
If you have not already done so, move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD. Make sure the drive's formatted OS Extended (journalling's not required for video). You should always keep at least 20% free space on the Hard Drives that your Media, Projects and Events are on.
Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
If you ever experience dropped frames, I strongly recommend you use ProRes 422 Proxy - it edits and plays back like silk because the files are small but lightly compressed (not much packing and unpacking to do) - but remember to select 'Original or Optimised Media' (FCP X Preferences > Playback) just before you export your movie, otherwise it will be exported at low resolution.
If you have plenty of processor power, for the ultimate editing experience, create Optimised Media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot. There's a great application for this, called Event Manager X - for the tiny cost it's an invaluable application.
http://assistedediting.intelligentassistance.com/EventManagerX/
Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences (under Playback) - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

SSRS Subreport - Renders very slow

Hi All,
I have a subreport which is embedded in the main report (form report) which is inturn embedded in a list. The report is executed for different levels with each level having different number of records (say 100, 150, etc.) and gives us a form for each
of the records on a single page. That is the report will have 150 pages for 150 records. My subreport renders very fast when it is run stand alone. Even the SPs written for the subreport are giving results within seconds. But when embedded in the main
report, the whole report is rendering very slow.
I tried passing the parameters to the subreport in two different ways:
1. Assigned the main dataset's record id to the subreport which gives correct data but taking very long time to generate the report.
2. Assigned the main dataset's record id to a hidden parameter and passing that parameter to the subreport as a parameter. This way the report renders very fast but the subreport is always giving the results for the first record id. That is even for the
second record, the subreport is showing up the first record's details which is incorrect.
Have been struggling with this issue for a while. Request you to help me in this regard.
Regards,
Bala.

Hi Bala,
According to your description, it seems that the issue is caused by the parameters. Please check the parameters setting of each subreport control in the main report. Make sure the data types are the same between the parameters, and the values passed to the
subreport parameters are correct.
As to the report performance, we can refer to the ExecutionLog View to monitor it. The total time to generate a reporting server report (RDL) can be divided into 3 elements:
Total time = (TimeDataRetrieval) + (TimeProcessing) + (TimeRendering)
For more details about troubleshooting report performance, please refer to the following documents:

Hope this helps.

Premiere CS4 Rendering very slow

recently premier started rendering very slow after making a change to an effect or adding something, etc..
No hardware or software has been added or changed, have tried defragging, updating drivers, etc. Is there some sort of cache or flush I don't know about that premiere uses?
If anyone has any suggestions I am willing to try almost anything because hours of googling have not brought me any luck.

Preview rendering Very Slow

Hi,
Can anyone help with Preview.app slow rendering issue for large PDF files, it is very slow after upgrading to lion. (AutoCAD drawings that are PDFed)
Small PDF documents are fine.

Hi Guys I work with a lot of pdf files with being a student at uni and not sure these tips might help.
Try an app called skim which is free it handles pdfs nicely and looks similar to the preview app.
Also if a pdf is slow to scroll try selecting all the pages goto file print. Then on the bottom left hand side of the print window select pdf and then save as pdf. I have found on some pdfs (usually the ones in black and white and look like a photo copy) using the the print save as pdf option has then allowed me to view a pdf fine in the preview app without any issues. Hope this is useful.
I suspect its to do with pixels per inch or dots per inch of the document.

FOI theme (Oracle Maps) rendering very slow

I sniffed the network traffic when a FOI theme is rendered on a map. I determined that for each feature of the theme a network request is sent to the server fetching the corresponding marker. Fetching markers has a big impact on the performance.
I think that fetching the same marker for each feature is not nessary.
Is there a way (undocumented feature or patch) to avoid this from happening?
Thanks in advance,
Jeroen

Hi,
Experienced the same issue. I would like to hear from Oracle Maps development team if they are going to do something with it because our Map with active theme is very slow (rendering of markers and also panning the map). Without active markers it's fast.
thanks,
Branislav

How do I fix CS4 from rendering very slow?

I just swithced from CS3 to CS4. The process went well and I did not have to reinstall CS4 to access my projects; thanks to all your help.
After installing CS4 I uninstalled CS3 then I defragged.
Now rendering takes a very long time in CS4.
What is the magic button I need to push to speed things up?
I have Vista 64 bit
8GB RAM
6000X2 at3.1Hz processor

Is the slow render issue happening when you open a CS3 *.prproj with Premiere CS4? We've had many issues with CS3 projects opened with CS4. For example, stuttering video that has blur effects applied. I recommend you avoid doing that. Many have reported that CS3 and CS4 can peacefully co-exist on the same system. That may be your solution if you need to revisit CS3 projects.
Then of course there is the issue of hardware specs. CS4 runs great on the new Intel i7 processors with lots of RAM...6GB+. Harm has a good article on video editing hardware specs. The only point I disagree with is on packing a full tower case full of high capacity hard drives. We have found that in many cases when one of our editing system slows to a crawl, the cause is a hard drive that has one type of issue or another. One workaround if you want to load up on internal drives is a quality hot-swappable cage that holds multiple drives. Kingwin has a model for instance that holds 4 drives and uses up only 3 DVD-sized computer case openings. There could be drive cooling issues with the Kingwin product because the included fans are small and some have claimed, "cheap".
We use the Panasonic P2 cameras. The video looks great and the resolution is all that we need for the type of work that we do. Editing is smooth when we edit P2 on external drives connected via E-Sata. This keeps the internal drives to a minimum.
I would take a look at the new SSDs for your system drive, and install two additional internal drives. Look at the consumer drive ratings on newegg.com. For example, some of the Seagate 1.5's have reliability issues.

Renders very slow to start, even longer to actually render

So I upgraded to the new macbook pro with retina display and AE CS6 runs solid as a whole but I am encountering a problem when it comes time to render my comps. I'll send a comp to the render que, adjust my settings for what I need outputted (genreally a ProRes) and then hit render. This is where my problem begins. It can take from 2-10 minutes before I will see any progress started on the render and when the process actually does start, it is painfully slow. If I take the same project into Media Encoder and outut it from there the render happens right away and the render time is acceptable for what I am outputting. This is also a hit or miss issue, some projects I can render out of AE no problem others massive headaches. Also complexity of a project doesn't have any bearing either, it just seems like AE is just being picky as to which projects it will render and which it won't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FCP X 10.1 Rendering very slow

Tried using the Neat Video plugin on 2 clips I have in a projects and it's been rendering for HOURS! Just realized that 10.1 is saving "backups" to my hard drive and not my external HD. How can I get these "projects/events to update and backup on my external? When I tried dragging the folders to my external drive it just made copies. Where do I set the preferences so that EVERYTHING goes to my external HD only? Will this speed up the rendering time? It was rendering at lightening speed the first day I upgraded to 10.1 hasn't done it since .

To ALL --
I too had the exact same problems. I had one Library opened, one event and one project containing a single 640x480 clip (transcoded/optimized in a 1080 project) and a Motion background generator. The timeline had trouble playing in real time and trying to render the timeline would take quite a long time utilizing 1 to 1 1/2 cores at a time (out of 8 "virtual" cores - 09 i7 iMac). Exporting would cause FCPX to re-render *everything* as if it weren't already rendered.
Solution:
Completely delete all traces of FCPX starting with this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5149
go to the section labelled:
Removing Final Cut Pro X in OS X 10.9 Mavericks
Use http://digitalrebellion.com/prefman and use it to trash all other pref files.
Delete FCPX from the applications folder.
Empty the trash.
Go back to the App Store and do a complete "fresh" install.
After I did all this, FCPX 10.1.1 seems to be running quite well.
I have no idea why problems like this arise (probably file permissions—repairing permissions seems to be a good idea before upgrading). It's ridiculous that a update should cause such trouble, however installing the app as "new" has always worked (so far... knock on wood...)
YMMV

Report Rendering Very Slow With RDLC

I am running into some horrible performance with running reports as .rdlc's
The reports themselves are fairly straightforward, save for some column and row groupings in matrices. If I have one simple column group, things run pretty quickly. If I add one or two more groupings, things slow down incredibly!
I've been doing some research and have found that several people have experienced the same problem as I.
http://prologika.com/CS/forums/p/1272/4541.aspx#4541
Unfortunately, I don't have the option to test out performance of the reports against a "real" SSRS installation. And the data source I'm working with is actually a C# dataset versus an actual SQL Server database.
We're currently running on Windows Server 2003 and are using .Net 4.0
Has anyone else experienced the same issue, and if so, how did you ultimately resolve/work around the issue? Amazing that the performance between rdlc and rdl's could be that drastic!
The developers have mentioned creating a field for each possible value for a field. For example, there is a top level group called "Plan" and a sub-group called "Unit". These are just two of the fields we are grouping on for column groups.
There are possibly 30 different plans, with possibly up to 6 units. So essentially, there would be up to 180 columns in a table. We would then need to write expressions to hide any columns/groups that have no value. Not a smart option...

Very slow PDF printing on Canon MG7550 printer

Hi,
When I print large PDF files (25 pages) using network or cable it prints very slow. It lasts forever before the print job has been sent to the printer. When the print job is finally received there can be 1-2 minutes between each page. It just stops printing, then starts and so on.
Can someone help me with this?
System and software:
Macbook Pro, OS X Yosemite, version 10.10.1

I am only guessing here because I don't know the specifics of the printer that you are using. Since all of the pages are scanned that means you basically printing images. This take much more memory than say a text document would take to print. You may be getting a spooled effect as your printer tries to manage the memory it takes to print the document. Your settings are probably set to print directly to the printer. You could try spooling to the hard drive and it might print more smoothly but still take a while to print.
