Share and Export time extreme

Started using Final Cut Pro X and I like a lot of the new features. One thing is concerning me is Sharing or Exporting time. I had a 2 hour training video that I needed to export to mp4 file. I tried many different methods using Final Cut Pro X and Compressor and the time on an 8 Core with 10 Gig of ram was 14 hours. I checked the processor uses during the export and all processors were running near max. Unless I am doing something wrong this seems extreme. Any suggestions?

Maybe this could help:

Ridiculous rendering and export times!

I had to show this to the community so that you can share in my frustration! This is for a 6 minute long video...

I'm not surprised at your render times with that system. It is way below what a practical editing computer should be.

When I go to "Share" and export the file is being cut off

I am working on a slideshow when I go to Share the choose Personal Computer, mpeg (wide format), and then when the file is saved it continues to cut off my slideshow. The slideshow is only about 3 minutes long and continues to cut off about :30 seconds, the file size is also small. The photos were converted to RGB and 100dpi.
Any suggestions, would be greatly appreciated. I have completely recreated the file, reduced the size, and nothing has worked.

The most common cause of material on the Timeline being truncated is the WAB (Work Area Bar) being set to less than the full Duration, and then Export Work Area being checked (radio button) in the Export/Share settings dialog. This will happen if one has been using the WAB to limit the area that is Rendered, or similar. This shows the WAB in an adjusted state:
If you have used the WAB, the easiest ways to reset it, or not use it, is to hit the \ [Backslash] key to zoom out to the full Timeline, and then find the little block in the middle of the WAB. Dbl-click on it to expand it completely. Or, in the Export/Share dialog, just click on the Full Project radio button.
Now, another reason for truncation can be limited HDD space. The full Project cannot be Exported/Shared. How much free space do you have on your destination HDD?
Last, you give the dpi of the images, which means nothing in video, but what are the pixel x pixel dimensions of the still images in the SlideShow? That can be very important.
Good luck, and please let us know if anything there helps,

How come I can't share and export videos from iMovie anymore?

?

My operating system is windows 8 and the reader version is adobe reader XI.
The documents are scanned images. But I thought I could highlight and
comment on other scanned images. Maybe they have different settings?

Extremely Long Export Times

Having some issues with export times in FCP. We don't do alot of editing in my office and we've just upgraded to HD for some of our stuff and the export times when trying to make .movs is taking forever.
Our original footage is recorded as .WMV 1280 x 720. We have Flip4Mac, but were having issues with render times and export times when trying to export as .wmv(One 15 minute video took over 4 hours to export and then at 90% complete Flip4Mac crashed FCP) so I converted the files to .mov using Ultra MP4 Video Converter. This helped with the rendering, but our export times are still ridiculous...even for HD...I would think. Like I said we haven't worked much with editing especially with HD footage.
Anyway, I had 7 sequences totaling around an hour and a half of footage and did a Batch Export to make them Quicktime Movies. It's been over 14 hours of Export Time and I'm still only at 52% complete.
Am I doing something wrong...is there anything I can do at any step along the way to make both my rendering and exporting times shorter?

Perhaps now would be a good time to explain your workflow.
This is how I deal with non-native source material ....
• move original material to hard drive on computer. Put in scratch folder.
• open up Compressor and import all files to be converted.
• select preset that will convert to ProResLT at an editing framerate, video size and audio sampling rate/depth.
• launch batch. Note: if you have a multi core Mac, using quick clusters in QMaster will speed this process markedly.
• once process is complete, import ProResLT files into FCP and edit. Once finished, export using "current settings" & "self-contained".
• open up Compressor again and import the exported ProResLT files.
• select the preset for the delivery format (h.264 or whatever) and launch the batch.
you are done.

Export time very slow.

Hi guys, i-v read some thems on the forum, but I am not an english speaking person, so it's kind of hard for me to receive a lot of information in a diffrent language at the same time. So I would like to create a new theme, where you probably will be able to help me.
I am using Adobe Premiere CS 6. I have an HP DV7 laptom with the folowwing configuration:
Windows 7 ultimate 64
Intel core I7-3820QM CPU, 2.70 Ghz
8 GB RAM
internal HDD drives 5400 Rpm
Video adapter:
1. Intel (R) HD Graphics 4000
2. Nvidia GeForce GT 650M with unabled CUDA (I mean in Premiere it's shown as unabled)
The premiere is installed on disc C, the info is on Disk D (different HDD from C).
I shoot on an Canon 7D camera full HD 1080x1920, 25 fps. Sequence is the same as camera shooting h264 format.
When I export i select MPEG2 movie, 1920x080, 25 fps, 30 bitrate.
1 hour clip is then exported in about 4-5 hours, what seems extremly long for me...

Thank you, is there a way to fasten the rendering and export time? What should I look for upgrading my laptop?

Very slow Rendering and Exporting

Hello,
I switched to Premiere CS6 from FCP 7 after FCPX came out and haven't looked back. In a lot of ways, it's much better for certain tasks.
In others, it's not. Initially playing back "red-lined" content worked fine and i was able to view the edit before I committed to render/export.
Now, I see every 10 frames or so and it skips and stutters. Rendering and exporting times have spiked dramatically over the past month
for some unknown reason. I have a small prod company and we're using Mac Pro's (8-Core) with min of 16GBs of RAM in each.
I know there are 101 factors that go into export time, I'm just wondering if anyone if encountering the same issues.
I just pieced together a 10-min video in FCP7, all ProRes files with minimal cutting and it exported in 2.5 minutes.
The same project on Premiere was telling me 3 hours. I don't get it.
Can anyone shed any light on this?
Thanks
Dan

Rendering times are not decided purely on the length of the video.
The type of effects you have added have more impact.
Also you cannot always trust the estimated time you are given.
Have you let it render for about an hour to see whether the estimate drops dramatically?

Hardware recommendations for fast render and export?

I'm looking for a new Mac for video editing and wonder what to go for for fast render and export times. Is it fast a cpu, cores, lot of ram, vram or a fast graphic processor that primarily determines the speed?

Processors mainly. RAM contributes a little, but mainly helps with having multiple apps open, or for RAM hungry apps...FCP isn't one. Graphics cards help with plugins that rely on them...but not all plugins utilize that. Processor is the main thing.
Exporting to...H.264? Then you can look at the Matrox MAX hardware encoder...or the MXO2 line with the MAX integrated.

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.

I downloaded the Final Cut Pro X trial but my movie is 17 minutes long but it will only Share to Quick time 6:55 minutes. How do I fix this and export the full 17 minutes?

Thank You. Im trying to export everything. I pressed command A and then did the Share button. Ill attach the screenshot please let me know if I need to change something.

Extremely long Master File Sharing/Export times (MP4)

I, too, it seems, am having extremely long Sharing times with my FCP X project(s). It's a one hour, 50 minute HD video. Nothing fancy, just a couple talking heads comprised of 7 .mov files and appx. 65 graphics and black generators as B-Roll. When I share it to a Master File as an MP4 video it takes nearly 36 hours to complete.
The Transcoding takes more than 8 hours before it gets to the export phase. I have "Create Optimized Media" and "Create Proxy Media"checked in the FCP X Prefs and have Background Rendering switched off, FWIW.
I have a 13" MacBook Pro (mid 2012) 8GB RAM, 1TB HD and running 10.9.2. I don't know if it makes a difference but I have Perian and Flip4Mac installed.
Activity Monitor shows that I'm using 6.34GB physical memory and 10.5GB Virtual Memory. The Memory Pressure graph is green. Activity Monitor shows these processes: a kernel task of 750MB, FCP using 600MB and ProTranscoder Tool using 286MB.
I've shared copies of this same video to YouTube and it took about just as long but it shared successfully.
I was just wondering if there was any way to cut down on the rendering time - which, based on what I've seen in the discussions may not really be possible on a 2-hour video. I will have another video in a week or so to finish and it's the same length. Also, I may have a couple more projects in the future (if the client likes these) that will be similar. My goal is to not have to wait days for a project export/share to be complete. Worse, as was the case today, I decided to add one more 5-second graphic and had to re-do the entire Transcode/Export process.
I looked into getting Compressor but that doesn't seem really necessary or beneficial in my case and, based on the reviews, can actually add even MORE time to the process, it seems.
Thanks for any suggestions or pointers. I'll continue to look through the discussions for info.

Since I just downloaded the trial version and started this project I'm still learning as I go. At this point, I may actually end up having to purchase FCP (which I actually REALLY like - except for the hideous export times). I used the OLD Final Cut Pro a good many years ago on a G-4 Quicksilver so this is somewhat of a re-learning experience.
When I began the project I'm trying to finish (now that I recall) I actually exported it from iMovie to FCP. That's when I needed help using the generators because I needed to cover the 16:9 video while using a 4:3 graphic. I began using this current version of FCP without initially setting or changing any preferences. So, I believe the Optimize was already toggled. I wasn't sure abut the proxy but you cleared that up for me. Thanks! I just made sure those two were toggled for this latest share/export because of something I read about maximizing (which I'm doing a lot of these days!).
The second program's .mov files I shot and began editing were imported directly into FCP and, again, I don't recall that I toggled the Optimize option. I know I was sure to copy both programs' files to their project and not keep them in place (avoiding potential file issues). I also exported that second, similar, video at one point (probably because of the issues with the first program) and it, too, took a comparable amount of time to export. It is an hour and fifteen munutes long.
Since my MBP is new, I got the (what I assumed to be)was the maximum RAM. I've since learned you can (expensively) actually upgrade it to 16GB. I'll opt for a SSD first, tho ;-)
When I get a chance after I'm finished with this current export ( which occur tomorrow sometime :-/ ) I'll try the Pro Res export and then try the MPEG Streamclip (which I have and use frequently) option.
I'm using a new Toshiba Canvio 3.0 Plus external 1.5TB (non-Thunderbolt) drive formatted Extended/Journaled/GUID partition to store my project and actually did quit FCP and restarted the MBP prior to beginning this export with no browsers running.
And, fwiw, at 6:30pm EST the project is 44% of the way through the Transcoding process.
Thanks for your help and time.

Where is the AirPort Express/Extreme Config file import and export after the latest update (version 6.0 / 7.6.1)?

Before the recent update I was able to export the configs of my AirPort Express and Extreme for later import if needed. It is not so important for the Extreme as it stays at home, but my Express has several configs saved as it is used in various locations and at times I need to change the config from home use to travel use. I am unable to see how this is now accomplished within the new update (version 6.0). Both of the AirPort devices are on verison 7.6.1. Thanks

I found it, you have to have the edit selection made then the import/export option becomes available.

Exporting taking extremely long time

Hi,
I have been working with FCPX for about a year and all of the sudden, my files are taking forever to export. I'm exporting the ProRes timeline files by using the Share option. I always export the file with current settings to the desktop. Once it's finished on the desktop, I convert the file to H.264 using a Compressor droplet. I've read that this process is supposed to be faster then exporting H.264 directly from FCP. The files I'm using are about 1-2 hours of 1080i ProRes. For the file I'm exporting now, the estimated export size is 140 GB and in 24 hours of export time it has exported 45% of the file.
I know these are big files, but it never used to take this long to export them. What can I do to speed up this process?
Here's what I'm working with:
Computer:
MacPro5,1
OSX Version 10.6.8
Processor - 2 x 2.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
16 GB 1066 DDR3
FCP X - Version 10.0.8
Compressor - 4.0.7
This is my first time posting a question to this community but I have found answers to many questions here before, so thank you.

Suggestions:
Check the amount of free space on your boot drive and media drives. If they have less than 20%, do some archiving. If there is plenty of free space, check the drive speeds by downloading on of the speed apps from AJA or Blackmagic. Also Verify disks and repair permissions in Disk Utility.
While exporting, open Activity Monitor to make sure that you don't have a memory leak. Check free memory and Page Outs.

Extremely long export time

Hi,
I got some big problems while exporting footage from AME and PP CC 2014. I mean – the time of exporting is extremely long. It take 4 hours to export 15 minutes of 1080p footage (with not best quality of render settings). There is no big difference in time while exporting with or without effect same as AME or PP.
I shoot my footage on SONY A7S in XAVC S and my export settings are H.264, VBR 1, 16/20.
My PC spec:
Intel Core i7 3770K 3.5 3.9 GHZ
32 GB DRR3,
HDD 2TB, SSD 128GB
GeForce GTX 770 2GB
WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 64 BIT
I will appreciate any help cos this problem make me sick already

I checked the log file and there are no errors in the file.
There are no ORA- xxxx error messages.
The last line in the log file is as follows:
"Processing object type schema_export/table/index/domain_index/index "
I just checked the export job run this morning and it is still on the same
index object "A685_IX1" . This is a spatial index. It has been sitting at
this same object according to the job status for at least 24 hours.
