Slow export

I have an hour long movie I need to compress before burning. The format is SD.
My problem is the compression is taking many, many hours. I remember doing this before and not having it take so long. It doesn't have to be the highest quality. It just needs to look decent when the DVD is played on a TV.
Please help
Thank you.

Hey Jerry,
So I am not sure where to manipulate the CBR settings.
These are my setting. Anything to make it faster please. Thanks

  • Slow export for no reason

    Hi fellow mac users. I have two macs. One of the macs has a much faster exporting speed that the other for Imovie HD. I heard about it being something about one using DV maybe?
    Well it takes on the slow exporting mac 20 minutes to export a 10 minute clip in CD-ROM format. But on the other it takes about 4 minutes. Considering I don't want it to take 20 minutes because the 4 minutes quality is fine - how do I make it go faster again on this computer?
    Thanks,
    -G

    Hi
    Not really understanding Your problem I can make a guess.
    The most common origin to that a Mac slows down is the amount of free space on
    the internal (start-up) hard disk (no other counts)
    • 5Gb or less - most probably Your Mac doesn't work or have an occult behaviour
    • 5-10Gb might work but slow
    • about 25Gb free space - my way of getting things done
    Second reason:
    DVD discs has a speed no: on them eg DVD-R x16 (most often to fast for most Macs
    to make good burns) I use iDVD08 or Apple Disk Util tool to burn at x1 speed
    Much better result and DVDs that most often works.

  • Help me identify problem for slow export on a powerful machine

    Hi,
    I am exporting an interview in Premiere Pro CC. It is 1:45:00 long and it has been 20 hours since, but the export is only 94% complete.
    Project & Footage:
    The footage is a combination of DSLR footage - 5D Mark III, GH3, 650 & 550D.
    The edit is all straight cuts with: {a} Color corrector on each clip to match all cameras {b} NEAT - reduce noise on around 10% clips {c} Sharpen (10-30) & {d} An adjustment layer overall with a 3-way color corrector for a simple color grade.
    Hard Drives:
    E: SSD-RAID for the source footage (Samsung 840 SSD on RAID-0)
    D: SSD for previews and cache (Samsung 840 Pro)
    C: SSD for Windows, Adobe CC & all programs (Samsung 840 Pro)
    G: Simple Seagate Hard disk for Export (used to be a 3 disk RAID but 2 drives crashed some time back)
    Other Machine Spec:
    Intel i7-3930K overclocked by 10%
    64GB RAM
    GTX-770 GPU
    This is my longest project to date in terms of total time, but last time I did a 1:00:00 project, took around 2 hours not 20.
    My concern is I need to understand where the bottleneck is?
    My CPU is hardly working a sweat - 40% at max
    My RAM is plenty - being used 40-70%
    GPU is not even being used in anything (see it at 0%)
    Disks (which I was sure was the bottleneck) barely cross 10MB/s
    Checked the "power options" in Windows also - everything is set to maximum performance.
    It was a big mistake not to send it to Media Encoder as I could have continued editing a different project. Biggest. Mistake. Ever! (no idea why Adobe does not make it a default behaviour?)
    I am fairly new to the industry and till last year was using a MacBook Pro until I started getting demanding projects.
    I want to know is this normal? If I had used NEAT video for 100% footage then probebly I could have understood this, but its used for only 1/10th of thr footage and I have used NEAT before (but on After Effects CS6) on my Macbook pro (nowehere near as fast as my current machine) and it only added a small overhead - nothing of this sort.
    I expected maybe 3 hours to export this 90-100 min seqeunce, not over 1 day.
    So what could be the reason? Why isn't one of the above (CPU, RAM, Disk, GPU) at 100%?
    I expected 1 of these to be the bottleneck but nothing is crossing 50% even when it should be on full blast.
    I dread what if there is small tweak required in the edit once its complete. This video is due on Monday, I would have to reencode for 24 hours.
    Please experts - let me know your thoughts. Could it be that Creative Cloud Windows is slower than CS6 Mac & its not a hardware problem?
    I am sure I am missing some hardware that is causing this bottlenck. Attaching resource Monitor screenshot (let me know if I should use some benchmark software for you guys to get more information).

    UPDATE: My export crashed (and heart sank) after 96% (25 hours). Win7 restarted. I have no clue why (If someone has any tip how to seach logs/dump in Windows to find a reason how, please let me know - I was worried about CPU temperature but that was around 40 deg, I was monitoring it.)
    Anyways, so I used Media Encoder now (instead of direct export in PrPro) and made 2 changes:
    1. I unchecked "Render Maximum Depth" just as it is in the the default Youtube 1080p@24p preset (but kept the keyframing distance at 24 instead of 72 which is default).
    2. From VBR - 2 Pass, I made it CBR
    Its been 15 min I started the export and the video is 20% encoded already, with remaning time just 00:30 min.
    Now I am flabergasted.
    Did not using maximum depth & VBR- 2 pass alone make such a difference? From 30 hours to 1 hour? I am still using all the video effects and absolutely no change to the edit.
    I am seeing 2 differences the way my machine is working:
    1. Is Adobe somehow using some old renders it did for the last export? I am using disk utility and it is refering to original source files and some "Media Encoder preview files" which I think it was not using before (could be wrong)?
    So all that hard work it did for 25 hours is being utilized and if I do such a project again it will take me 30 hours again. Right?
    2. GPU is now being used (and to good effect). How is GPU being used now? I am not scaling or using any fancy effects. Just Neat Video, 3-way color corrector & Sharpen.
    This was before (export done in Premiere Pro directly):
    And this is now:
    Very sad that no one (even from the Adobe Staff) has replied to my post. Did I say something inappropriate or TMI?
    C'mon guys I am on the Creative Cloud - show me some love

  • Premiere Pro CS6 and MacBook Pro Retina : Painfully slow exports, very long renders

    Hello All,
    This question seems to have been posted before..
    I came from Windows land and have used Premiere since '97..
    "Let's try a super spec Macbook and have a mobile editing suite.. Great!"
    I generally work with DSLR footage, H264 codec and .wav files.
    Imports and scrubbing is great, applying effects starts it slowing down and I'll adjust playback to 1/2 or 1/4 resolution.
    And that's just on one layer of video..
    Now, when it comes to exporting in general, a 50 second clip takes over 30 minutes to render.
    Very frustrating..
    I mainly export using the existing presets for YoutubeHD and VimeoHD.
    Can't get my head around why it takes so long and I am hoping that perhaps a re-install or a fundamental preference setting will solve it.
    In my preferences, I've allocated 11GB of memory to Adobe Production Suite applications and I rarely run 2 at a time.
    Scratch disks are set to project folders, on a 4GB RAID1 drive connected via Thunderbolt protocol
    Tech specs :
    Processor  - 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory - 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3
    Graphics -   NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
    Storage - SSD 500GB
    OS - OS X, v10.8.3
    I look forward to hearing back from you and thank you in advance

    Well, I've run a few tests, and learned something new.
    CS6 on my MacBook Pro has three acceleration modes now: Software, Hardware (OpenCL) and Hardware (CUDA).
    I've run software only... not so great. Then I ran Hardware Open CL, and it "acts" like CUDA did on my Mac Pro with GTX 285... bars that were red turned yellow, and some things ran without rendering! I was pretty surprised by this, as I have only 512MB VRAM, not 1GB VRAM on the 650M.
    This is only my not-very-serious edit-on-the-road system, so I didn't spec it out to be a monster editing laptop, but I'm extremely pleased by how well it runs with CS6. I have two very nice, new SSDs inside; one for OS X/apps, and the other for media, as well as 16GB RAM. Each SSD runs at 500MB/sec +/- whether read or write, despite the second SSD being in the space where the optical drive was.
    It's too bad there's not just a *wee bit* more space where the optical drive was... or I'd try to stuff THREE SSDs inside, and RAID two of them for media.
    So far, I'm really pleased with how well it works with only 512MB VRAM, which was the question I had wanted answered.

  • Ref movie slow export, like it is rendering

    I have assembled some 640x480 Animation Codec clips in a 640x480 Animation Codec sequence. The goal is to export to QuickTime so that I can compress (and resize to 720x480) in Compressor and then add to a DVD Studio Pro project.
    Some clips needed some help with speed changes and transitions, so I rendered all of that. In fact I selected all of the options in Sequence -> Render All... to be sure the sequence get entirely rendered and when I press Option-R. Pressing Option-R flashes the progress bar on and off to suggest the sequence is all rendered, nothing more to do. The places where there was red render bars now slows bluish render bars. That means rendered, right?
    Yet when I export a video-only QuickTime reference movie, the progress seems to slow as it gets to the parts of the timeline where the blue render bars are, like it is rendering during the export. Why would it do this if I rendered everything first? In fact to prove that something is going on during the export, the reference movie is clearly not just a reference movie, the movie that is created in the end is over 14GB in size.
    Any suggestions for how to set up sequence in a case like this, export the reference movie quickly and into a small file size (like you'd expect a ref movie to be)?

  • Slow exports of my HD footage

    I just bought the canon vixia hf11 and am working with HD footage for the first time. I'm not real familiar with the speeds at which I should expect Adobe's Media Encoder to perform at so I'm just curious:
    1. How long should it take to render out a 4 minute clip to h.264?
    2. Are we talking a couple of hours or is my setup slow?
    I covered a mixed martial arts show and will be producing some material for my client. I know there are many ways to export the file, but I just wanted a ballpark idea on how long I should expect it to take. I have several ways I'd like to render this footage out.
    1. For my client to view short clips first and provide feedback on the project as a whole - so I'd like to post them to the web for easy viewing (short 2-4 minute clips).
    2. I need to edit everything in Premiere CS4, which it seems like I need to create p2 files in order for my pc to play them back smoothly.
    Thanks for any and all info you guys can offer.

    Hey Craig,
    Thanks for the response first of all... when you refer to a "tvc" what is that? Forgive my lack of experience here. I'm tinkering with different settings as I try to apply the suggestions I see here and I'm still seeing HUGE render times. Just trying to make sure I'm paying attention the details.

  • 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.

  • Suddenly very slow export

    Hi.  Basically, my export has gone very slow.  I will give what details I can, but the main thing here is that I am doing what I have always done, but suddenly it is going very slow.  I export to MPEG2 DVD as that goes straight onto a DVD without further render in my Sony DVD maker program.  Export in Premiere usually takes between 30 and 40 minutes. Latyest project is warning me of over 3 hours!  I thought I would ask here before waiting and seeing if it still works okay in case there is an obvious answer.  MPEG audio, multiplexer on, maximum mrender depth, CBR slider set to make a file that will be as large to preserve quality and still fit on a DVD (I go for around 4GB or just over)  Stick to CBR as the estimated file size is more accurate than messing about with VBR sliders.  Projects are standard definition, two video sources mixed (full DV) and separate sound source added and synchronised.  I film stage plays with two cameras.  Projects typically between one and a half and two and a half hours long.  This project is actually at the lower end.  No other obvious problems with the PC in general.  Is it worth a system restore?  It was fine for a project similar size rendered last week.  I am asking befoire i try system restore as they are getting hard to do.  They never seem to work unless I remove all my virus protection stuff!  CAn I think of anything different about this project?  Well, only that the venue I was filming in was not quite level, resulting in a bit of an angle that I corrected by tilting the film just a few degrees.  (Only affecting the part of the picture that would be off the TV screen) just to make the stage look level.  I often do this with a few shots from one of the cameras, but maybe not the whole film for both cameras like in this case.  I even tried pressing enter and doing that render thingy before export.  That did not help.  Maybe that is just to get something better in the preview window.  Normally it just takes around half an hour or just over.  Media player can be a bit crackly and choppy playing the rendered movie, but then it is always fine on the DVD so I just put that down to windows media playing being a bit rubbish and not important in my case.  Sorry if I have neglected to tell you anything important.  I usually get told off for this on this forum, but I have tried to give you details about the settings I am using.  The main thing is that I am only doing what I usually do.  If I was exporting to a different format I might expect a different time.  I can tell you that I got bored waiting and cancelled a few times before coming on here.  A couple of times the screen went very white and said windows would close the problemn and notify me of any solution.  Program closed but no useful information (I would not really have expected Windows to give me any!).  Maybe someone here can?   I suppose I had better wait for the three hours or more and at least see what comes out, but cant help being scared it will freeze at 37.34 percent and I will give up after waiting three weeks!  But any suggestions would be helpful.  Sorry not very tech-savvy so please keep it to plain English.  Thanks in advance

    Without knowing your computer specs, hard to comment on how long an export ought to take. However, you said yourself that you may have applied rotation to much of the video, and perhaps that is slowing things down from normal.
    Please check that your hard drives are defragged and are not getting more than 70-80% full as performance can quickly degrade. I would turn OFF the "Max Bit Depth" and "Max Render Quality" if being used. Should not be needed for DV clips going to DVD. As for pre-rendering the timeline, not recommended. This just adds another layer of compression (quality loss) to the final render, IF you check "Use Previews" in the Export area. If not using Previews, then it is all getting re-rendered anyways, so just a waste of time and drive space really, unless playback is so terrible that you want to render a section to check the results before exporting.
    I notice you have MultiPlexing ON for the export - is that how the Sony DVD software wants it? Most authoring programs (like Encore) perform better with separate elements of audio and video, meaning the .wav and .m2v files. Reason being that the DVD program will usually be creating Dolby (AC3) audio for the final DVD, so if you feed it the raw elements, it can convert the .wav to .ac3 quickly, and will NOT need to transcode the video. If you Mux (combine) the audio and video, the audio has then been compressed to lossy MPEG audio, then the DVD software needs to separate the audio and video and re-encode them again in most cases. Not the best workflow. Unless your final DVD uses MPEG audio, but I'm not sure that is a legal part of the spec worldwide, is normally PCM or AC3 for player compatibility.
    Not a big fan of anti-virus programs, have found many of the popular ones to really take over and bog down the system. Personally, I use and recommend the free solution of Microsoft Security Essentials. My computer, and those of my kids, have been virus-free the last couple of years since going to that solution, and I see no decrrease in performance and it runs in the background totally transparent to me.

  • Extremely slow Export and Save to Web

    I have an AI file with 40 artboards, each containing a separate image composed of reused vector symbols. I regularly need to adjuste the shared elements of these images, which I then export to PNG and finalize in Photoshop.  It seems the most efficient way to work, since I can update all the images at once easily.  However, it takes an ridiculously long time to Export these images (or Save to Web) into PNG files.  A full Export can take upwards of 4 hours.  Save to Web is much faster, but it can still take up to 40 minutes.
    I'm running CS5 on a Intel Core Duo 2.8GHz, which can cope with most Ps and Illy operations comfortably.  So why am I getting such terrible performance when it comes to Exporting?  How can I fix this issue?
    I am also open to suggestions to modification of my work flow.  As I said, the AI file contains one artwork per artboard, composed mostly of symbols shared across the file.  I then export each artboard to be processed in Photoshop.  The Ps processing is fairly simple: I just plug the files into a smart object layer, apply some glow effects, and then crop and overlay it on top of a pretty background, before exporting into final PNG file for actual use.  It's all done fairly painlessly through a user-defined batch Action.  But perhaps there's a way to skip the Photoshop altogether?  The actual processing isn't so sophisticated that it would require Photoshop.
    TIA

    Thanks for the info.  I've never took the time to learn the script yet, so I'll go with a simpler solution.
    I changed my workflow so that I'm now exporting to PDF instead of PNG's.  I then import the PDF into Photoshop for the finalization.  There were a few problems with this, though.  Firstly, Photoshop's Action recorder does not record the page number of the PDF in a Smart Object Replace Content action.  I actually had to export the action file, hex edit the file, and then re-load the action to get it to work properly.  Is this a known bug?
    Secondly, I don't want my primary work AI file to be PDF compatible, since it makes the file several times larger and much slower to save/load.  However, AI's action recorder does not record that I want to "Save a Copy" with a .pdf extension -- it saves directly onto my primary file.  Is there a way to correct this?
    It still takes a long time for Photoshop to import and process the images from the PDF.  But since this workflow won't block off AI for hours, it's something I can better live with.

  • Spooky Slow Export Time – Any Thoughts???

    I’m running Production Premium CS6 package on Windows 7, AMD Phenom IIx6, 64-bit, 16 GB RAM, with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 adapter.  (I know, my adapter is no longer supported.  A real editing card is on the shopping list!)
    Here’s the issue: Editing a long clip for our local church with their new video system.  They, thankfully, added another camera angle with a standard camcorder.  This was the only footage recorded for the first ½ hour of the presentation due to the fact that the operator forgot to push his/her new button.  Consequently, this is the only footage that can be utilized during that time frame.  These segments were quite grainy and treated with Video Toaster, totaling two cuts at 6 and 8 minutes apiece.  5 more cuts, ranging from 12 to 28 seconds fall later in the piece.  These were all rendered separately and as the last renders of the process.
    This footage was imported at 1080p/MP4.  Footage from the church system was recorded and imported in 720p/mp4.  There is an additional clip from an existent video of 16 minutes, imported in an mov. format.  Intro and out are mov. at 15 seconds with an additional 7 second of avi cut into the intro. All, with the exception of the MOV video, are laid over an audio track in a pkf format.
    Effects are limited to the Video Toaster clips mentioned and Brightness & Contrast on all except the 16 minute video.  Overall duration is 1;20;15.  All unused clips and files were discarded and I’m exporting to the Vimeo 720, 29.97 preset in Premiere.  The first export estimated at 32 hours and an immediate 2nd calculated the export at 52.  After a check and double-check, I looked to Media Encoder where I saw an estimated 17 hour export before I declined this option.  Here I cleared the Media Cache and checked export once again, estimated at 24 hours and accepted this option.  That was 37 hours ago and the encoding sequence is currently at 68% with an estimated 15;29;53 left…
    What I find distressing is that an export usually runs CPU’s at 90% or above and they are currently running between 17-33% at +/- 5 GB RAM.  This will ramp up on occasion to normal levels and I’ll see the encode progress, sometimes rapidly, sometimes in spurts.
    My thoughts are that I’ve overlooked something obvious and sophomoric.  Similar pieces in length of this mix-and-match type have exported in much, much less time.  Did I drop the ball by clearing the Cache?  Is it Video Toaster… Or, could it be an unknown codec from the new camera system, to which I don’t have a clue???  I doubt it, but could it be the pkf and should I have taken this to an AAC?
    Thanks for any and all advice ahead of time!

    Jeff,
    Thanks for getting back so quick on this one.  Yes, CUDA is installed and up and running.  I didn’t import through Media Browser, but compiled all media in a folder on the desktop before beginning the project.  All auto-saves, etc., are placed here just so I don’t get things lost with projects like this.  I wouldn’t think this would slow it, but it’s a new format for me and seemed like a good idea at the time.  I’ve only done a couple other projects this way and haven’t noticed variables in speed before.  And, yes, I used “VBR 2-pass”.
    Here’s a full screen shot:
    Export:
    The variables in this, as opposed to what I have experienced in the past, are those listed above; namely Video Toaster, but also the unknowns of the church cameras and the fact I cleared the cache.  Now, I did attempt to rerender, only to find this wasn’t necessary.
    Also, it seems Video Toaster isn’t supported through CUDA as it requires full render.  Once this is rendered though, shouldn’t PP utilize this without having to re-encode?  Could this be what’s slowing the machine?  Again, my worry here is that I’ve overlooked the obvious, but I’ve been doing this quite a while… yet that’s when I seem to make the silliest mistakes!
    The reason I didn't cancel this one was that I finally pulled the "go" trigger on it at 10:30pm and when I woke yesterday it was at 33%.  (Seemed a bit slow, but not overtly.)  While I was assessing the situation the CPU jumped to 90% and the "encode" bar gradually (as seemed normal) to increase to 51%.  Then, as the day progressed and up to this point, 26 hours later we, have it only at 68%.  This is a SPEC piece and I have a paying gig starting Saturday for which, I will need the machine.  My worry is that if all is working corectly and it is just being slowed by Video Toaster that I will have waisted valuable time.  The flip-side to this is obvious and that's why I finally decided to seek help here.
    And, yes, I need an i7 processor but it’s great to hear your confidence in the GPU!
    Thanks again!

  • Very slow export to quicktime movie

    Its taking over an hour to export a minuet and a half QT file. FC seemed to export the file correctly at first but after the timing bar reached 100% and dissapeared, FC imediantaly went into the spining beach ball of death, then finally snapped out of that and now is "writing Video..." extreemly slow. Activity monitor and Force Quit say that FC is not responding for a few minuets but snaps out of that eventually.
    This issue seems to happen randomly as I have seen it take place on three seporate machines, each with different media files. All media is formatted the same way and exported the same way. This issue does not happen every time a QT is exported, but is happening enough to be a concern.
    Below is the set up I am working on.
    * FCP HD 5.1.1
    * Imac Intel w/ 2gb ram
    * project saved on local drive
    * media saved to external Graid drive via firewire 400 w/ 107.69 GB available
    * shot and edited footage in project is DVCPRO HD 720p60
    Exporting to a QTmovie as the following:
    * 00:01:45:25 duration
    * DVCPRO HD 720p60 compressor
    * self contained
    * frames not recompressed on export
    I have tried this process excluding the external drive working 100% locally and have encountered similar slow behavior. FCP Preferences have been deleted. This issue is not a specific project dependent occurrence, as I have made test projects each of which only contained 3 media files roughly 700mb to 1.5gb in size each all shot DVCPRO HD 720p60. I do not think it is a corrupt media file issue.
    Anyone have any insight as to why this is taking place?
    My best guess is that it has something to do with the DVCPRO HD 720p60 codec. As a side note, I have expericensed failed renders in After Effects which used the DVCPRO HD 720p60 codec but the same project rendered fine using the Animation codec.
    Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm not very familiar with hd and it's export options, but since you don't seem to be changing anything during the export why are you using Compressor? Do you not have the option to "Export QT Movie" using "current settings".
    Sorry if I'm misreading something or am off base with the HD export options.

  • Slow export from MP4 to ipod video format

    can anyone tell me how to improve the convertion speed of MP4 video to Video ipod Format in Quicktime 7?
    it takes almost forever for even a small file like 4MB.

    I was reading somewhere that its the new codec that causes it to be so slow. It was at this link I believe...

  • Insanely slow export in CC

    Hello, I'm pretty new to Premiere Pro CC, and I just finished editing my first video.  I was stunned by how long it says it will take to export the project, and I figure I've got to be doing something wrong because I'd like to think that my computer is pretty powerful.
    Here are my computer's specs:
    Mac Pro tower Mid 2012 OS X 10.8.5
    3.2 GHz Quad-core intel xeon processor
    32 GB RAM 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
    GPU ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
    Three 7200 RPM SATA Disk 1TB Hard Drives
    The video is 30 minutes long, 1920x1080 (1.0) 29.97 fps, H.264, 48000 Hz, has a few color correction plugins and contrast adjustments, and it's crazy slow no matter what format I export to. When I try to export to QuickTime with the Preset: HD 1080i 29.97, etc, the estimated file size is 2285 MB and the estimated time remaining to export is over 20 hours. It's basically stuck at 0%. When I try to export to MPEG4 the estimated file size is 73 MB and the estimated time remaining is over 9 hours.
    I've been trying to research this stuff for hours now, and I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.  I've been reading some things about how CC has slowed down exporting in comparison to previous versions of Premiere Pro, but this is ridiculous.  I mean, there's gotta be something I can do, right?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you using hardware-accelerated Mercury Playback via OpenCL?  Have you set Maximum Render Quality in the Export Settings?  Software MPE playback is slower than hardware in many cases and if you combine that with MRQ then you can get very long renders.  And if you're not scaling or deinterlacing your video, you may not need MRQ at all.  Your choice of Color Correction plugins can have an effect on render time as well.  If the plugin can't be hardware-accelerated by Pr, then render times can increase significantly compared to the CC tools in Pr that can be accelerated.
    Cheers,
    Jeff

  • Slow export issue to 8bit uncompressed with a particular timeline.

    I have one particular project (<5 min duration) that just takes forever (3+hours) to export to an uncompressed 8bit NTSC QT movie, whether or not I make it a reference movie or self contained. It also takes a long time to render certain clips within the movie.
    If I export the same timeline using "current settings" instead of the 8bit uncompressed it exports in a matter of 3 minutes.
    I have no such slowness issues exporting other projects to 8bit uncompressed so I know it's not hardware limitations.
    I'm guessing it's not bad render files on the presumption that QT would have been re-rendering everything to make the self contained uncompressed movie- hence my existing render files status wouldn't be a dependency of the process. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
    I did notice however that the opening bumper clip takes a long time to render.. like 2 full minutes and it's only about 5 seconds long. This was a .motn file originally. I've used the same clip in other projects without issue.. maybe it's become corrupt? I'll answer back if that was it. Not in the editing room at the moment- but just thought I'd ask in case these symptoms spark any obvious solutions.

    You should render prior to export. Otherwise you end up with your system going thru the work to render, but afterwards, you don't have anything in your sequence rendered.
    The presumption that QT would have been re-rendering everything to make the self contained uncompressed movie
    Nope - it doesn't re-render unless it has to. Exporting in a format other than your timeline's format is a transcode. This does not require a re-render.
    You should be using Export Using QuickTime Conversion to transcode. Export Quicktime Movie is meant to use Current Settings...

  • Slow Export Speed

    I am doing some MP3 file exporting of multi-track projects today with STP3. The export speed is VERY SLOW. I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and STP3. Never had this problem with Leopard and STP2. My disk is only half full, the speed of the processor is the same, yet this is taking WAY TOO LONG! Any suggestions on speeding up the process with Snow and STP3?

  • Slow exporting to Quicktime

    I have the newest version of iMovie and only a 4.30 min video, but its taking forever to export, its said "26 min left" for a while now, is this a normal problem or is something wrong? ive closed out everything and the only time im on the internet is now posting this

    Hi
    The most common origin to that programs goes into "Slow motion" is
    • low on free space on Start-up hard disk - less than 1Gb most often halts
    • converting to a strange format - What did You select it to be ?
    • storage of movie/material on external USB2 hard disks - or even worse net-work storage
