Send to color: taking forever

made a test sequence for myself:
1 min long, 720p30 sequence
sending it to color, but it's been "importing final cut pro xml" for the last 45min. & still going. is there something i'm not doing right or missed?
any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks. terren

Believe it or not, this is COLOR's way of being merciful.
When it takes forever to load something, it means that there is something illegal about the sequence.
If it DID load, the consequence is that the project will become corrupted at some point, and then you would lose your work.

  • Color Taking forever to load!

    Hey all!
    So im wondering why my project is taking so long to load in color... Heres my details
    720 HD video in FCP, only 7 min video. I press send to Color, and color opens save the file, then the loading screen "Importing Final Cut Pro XML..."
    No idea why its taking this long... I even marked in and out points in FCP, but it is still taking a long time each time I try it. Haven't yet opened a color project for this certain project....
    Usually its a really quick import, and im running a very fast new intel tower.
    Help!
    Thanks!

    Usually a long load indicates that something is corrupt in the XML -- usually something illegal in the timeline as far as COLOR is concerned. Marking In/Out on the FCP timeline will have zero effect. To troubleshoot, you will have to create duplicate timelines and delete portions that are under suspicion.

  • Time machine to airdisk taking forever...maybe a gig an hour

    So I set up my Airport Extreme Airdisk as a Time Machine disk. I started the first backup and its taking forever...if I am lucky its sending a gig an hour on an 802.11n machine.
    Any thoughts?

    It seems that Time Machine uses Apple's disk imaging mechanism.
    The version of this in Leopard uses a helper app called diskimages-helper. You can see it in the process list of Activity Monitor when running Time Machine, Disk Utility or Carbon Copy Cloner disk imaging.
    This app seems to have issues with images larger than around 80GB. I have now shown that whether started by Time Machine, Disk Utility or Carbon Cloner images between 120 and 200GB run flat chat (disk limited) for the first 80GB or so and then slow down dramatically.
    How much data are you trying to backup?
    On the upside, once the first copy is made. incremental Time Machine backups seem to be very fast. Perhaps if you set time Time Machine with enough exclusions to get the first image down to 80GB, it may be possible to add the rest later. I have not tried this.
    On the topic of should you use an airdisk: I see that it is a requirement that the backup disk/share supports ACLs. I think Airdisk might be OK for data files, but probably will not restore a full working boot disk. Have you tried that?

  • *** Rendering is taking forever

    I am editing a 720x480 DV anamorphic project on a DP 2.7 and the render times are taking forever for a render to rather simple video (i.e. not many layers). I'm getting an orange bar whenever I need to render. In the past it was green and went much faster.
    I must have changed the preferences. Is there anything I can do to get rid of the orange bar and have the green bar mode available to render?
    Thanks in advance.

    It wouldn't make any difference... if you set your playback to "safe" or Unlimted mode in the RT pop up menu in the Timeline window you can change the 'render status" colors, but the time it takes to actually render will be the same as long as the render quality settings are the same.
    FWIW, some effects take longer to render than others for sure...

  • First backup is taking forever (more than two days) in my MacBook Air

    First backup is taking forever , painfully slow, I am using MacBook Air, what can I do to speed things up. is there a particular way to set TC up ?? I set it up to join an existing wireless network, is this right or wrong? I just need a few tips to make the backup faster.

    Answer: yes, the Time Capsule is junk - in my opinion. I was excited about an all-in-one router plus 1TB of backup wirelessly available, but if you check the many posts about this thing, you'll hear about numerous problems:
    - unbelievably slow backups, overnight or longer for the first, very long for even small backups after minor activity - and not necessarily due to network speeds.
    - heat issues - this thing runs very hot, even with fans running, and people have had to put little rubber feet under it to improve airflow, etc. - not something I think is reasonable for a $500+ item - some get an "overheating" message from the utility app.
    - problems with hanging - it hangs on "Preparing Backup" (as it did for me for days) and doesn't backup - thereby making the unit useless as it was designed.
    - mounting and recognition issues - not so much with me but for quite a few others.
    SEND IT BACK... I am sending mine back and going back to manual backups where I can see exactly what is being backed up to my external HDD and where it is. The opaque nature of the entire Time Machine backup is irritating to me - TC was "backing up" say, "75MB of 125.3MB" but I had no idea what it was backing up, and why only 125.3MB? Was that all my activity changed during the session? Or all sorts of system files, etc. being backed up? I'm not techie enough to get into the guts of it, so I am going back to my usual external HDD to do it by hand. It's a good habit to get into (if inconvenient compared to the TC) but at least I am secure with it.
    I am also not sure if TC can be used as a plug-and-play USB storage drive if I were to, say, just connect it to a Windows machine and try to access files in folders. I suppose not?

  • Why is it taking forever to move objects in AI? I am completely up to date in CC 2014

    I am working on Trade Show Banners, 8' x 31".  Using linked eps files for all the images that have to go in it. If AI isn't crashing, it's taking forever for every thing I try to do!!!  So now, if I adjust kerning, I save. It takes 8-10 minutes to save. Next thing - 8-10 min to move an object. Then 8-10 min to save because when it crashes I lose all the work. This is driving me nuts. I have deadlines!

    1. What OS? OS X Yosemite 10.10.2  Mac Pro
    2. How much RAM? 16GB (1066 MHZ DDR3 ECC)
    3. Is your Preferences > Scratch Disks set up properly? How much free space on your scratch disks? Scratch disk 1: 379.28 GB free
        scratch disk 2: 360.61 GB free
    4. Are you doing any raster effects on this large document? If so, how big are they, and at what resolution? (Effect > Document Raster Effects Settings...) CMYK, 300 pip, Transp. Bkgrnd, Preserve spot colors
    5. How large are the placed files, and from what source (AI, Photoshop, etc.)? Are you embedding any of the placed files, or are they all linked?  All are linked .eps files vary, from 8mg, 12 mg, 32mg, 43mg, etc. all food and equipment shots.
    I appreciate any help! I update constantly and it seems that this last update has put a spanner in the works! I've read so many solutions. I use safari, not chrome...
    thanks!

  • Artifacts showing up in my file-- send to--- color XML workflow

    I lurked these forums, couldn't find anything covering this issue.
    I am kicking out my picture lock from FCP to Color using the file -> send to-> Color utility.
    When Color opens up, with my XML data in the timeline the image in my viewport ends about 100 pixels from my frame. the remaining 100 pixels are artifacts generated by taking the final pixel in every row and repeating them to edge of my 2048x1024 frame, looking like a stretch filter was applied on it in After Effects.
    These are not in my 2k prores HQ clips in FCP.
    My project settings look okay.
    Where should i start trouble shooting this?
    The clips are Apple Prores HQ 24fps
    thanks in advance, folks.

    What video card are you using?
    On the project I just wrapped I noticed the same thing when pulling up still stores. The bottom 100 pixels or so seemed to have come from a previous image. Toggling the still store on/off fixed the issue. But every time I pulled up a new image on the SS I'd have to toggle it to fix.
    This happened on both a ProRes and a DVCPro HD workflow.

  • Save taking forever

    Is it just me or is anyone else finding it's taking forever to save a document in Numbers? It's taking 1:10 to save a small document with one table (5 Columns and 306 Lines). Of course, I do get to enjoy the spinning beach ball while I wait. I've already repaired permissions, etc.

    Hello
    I really don't understand because this kind of doc seems to be a small one.
    May you archive it in a zip file and send it to my mailbox:
    koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
    so I will be able to look at it.

  • ITunes 8 taking FOREVER ( 12 hours) to process artwork thumbnails

    Anybody else seeing this? Its taking forever to process the artwork thumbnails. It looks like its going out on our shared drive and processing all the media on all the computers on the network (~300GB). Or at least those that are shared. I can't tell for sure because the spinning color wheel of death won't pause so I can see what is going on.
    Next question is will each of the computers in the house go through the same painful process with the shared media when upgraded to iTunes 8?
    What an idiot I was. 8(

    Same problem here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1701877&tstart=0). What worked for me, finally, was to quickly hit Stop before the spinning ball appeared and I then checked off for this never to happen automatically in the subsequent dialogue window. It seems to get hung with albums that start with S.

  • After installing SP3 for BO XI R1 - Crystal Reports taking forever to run.

    Hello,
    We are running BO XI R1 SP3.  Ever since installing SP3 a number of our scheduled Crystal Reports are taking forever to run.  The Business Objects server resources are okay, CPU never really gets above 50% so I figure perhaps it's our SQL Server.
    We run SQL 2005 and CPU on that hovers around 30%, we've got 4 2.6GHz CPUs with 16GB of RAM.  Looking in SQL Server activity monitor the reason the reports are taking some time is that the wait types are generally CXPACKET.
    For example a report used to process in a minute however after installing SP3 the report now takes several hours.  Since we've 4 CPU's on our SQL Server activity monitor creates four sessions for the report to try and process it in parallel.  However all of those four sessions have a wait type of CXPACKET.  This I understand is related to parallelism and people have said to reduce that so nothing runs in parallel.
    However I should not have to do that as things used to run just fine, there is no physical reason (i.e. RAM / CPU / HDD) that reports are locked waiting in SQL server.  Has anyone else had this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix please?
    Kind regards,
    Chris Rutherford

    XIR2 has two different redistributable MSI packages.  One is compatable with 1.1 framwork applications and the other is compatable with 2.0 framework applications.
    try downloading the SP3 MSIs from [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009656792008E/crxir2sp3_net_si.zip]
    this will have both MSIs
    - CrystalReports11_5_NET.msi          (for 1.1fwk applications)
    - CrystalReports11_5_net_2005.msi   (for 2.0fwk applications)
    rename the CrystalReports11_5_net_2005.msi to CrystalRedist115_x86.msi and replace the existing file in the Bootstrapper folder path
    Uninstall the last install, rebuild and try your Click-Once install again.  This time you should have the 11.5.3700.0 runtime.

  • My ipod touch is takeing forever to update to IOS 5.01

    i have an ipod touch and its a 4 gen and i have a new computer and it realy fast but my ipod update is takeing forever to update i have done everything i even changed some internet setting it still takes forever please help me. ,Thank you

    If your iPod does not have camera it is a 3G iPod. Those can only go to 5.1.1. Its hardware does not support a higher version.
    As other have said, a 4G (first one to have cameras) can only go to 6.1.6
    A 5G can go to the current 7.1.2
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Okay so I just got a new MacBook and I'm setting it up. I decided to not download all of my files to iCloud drive and its taking forever to load to the next page. Is this normal for it to take so long? After all I didn't even download my stuff?

    why is it taking forever to load!?

    The files you are loading into the new computer are by wi-fi? If you have no other option
    that may be OK but slow. A faster method would be Ethernet cable from internet router
    or modem, instead of wireless. Most of the setup process can take some time.
    What are these files? Where are they now?
    Do you have a backup on-site, & not online?
    Did you check to see if the operating system was updated as part of the setup before use?
    The Software Update can locate later parts to the as-shipped system, that may be needed.
    Other upgrades or new apps are through the Mac App Store, some through App Store, etc.
    As part of the setup, you could use a migration assistant if you have a backup from the old
    computer or have other files saved in an external hard drive to import.
    Hopefully your process won't be drawn out too long...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Restarting taking forever after Security Update 2014-002

    I just downloaded Security Update 2014-002 and my Mac Mini is taking forever to restart after the download and installation process finished. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks and my Mac is stuck on restart! What should I do?
    Need help! Thanks.

    Tap the space bar on your keyboard once. The dispaly may be sleeping.
    The first restart after the update here was longer than usual but I restarted one more time, it was back to normal boot time.
    After the restart, open the App Store then select Updates from the menu.
    It should say:  Verio 1.0 Installed Apr 22, 2014
