Speedgrade FX freeze rendering or take up to 4x longer to render than Magic Bullet Looks

I've found that using a lumetri "preset" on a clip, the clip is played back beautifully in real time, however, when using my own speedgrade looks (with 2-3 looks layers) the clip plays back choppy (which is normal as it happens with magic bullet looks). But.... when it comes time to render... The sequence graded with Magic Bullet Looks takes as long as it always has in CS6, while the same sequence graded with my Speedgrade presets takes up to 4x longer and sometimes even freezes (causing an unknown error) both in Encoder CC and when exporting straight out of PPro CC....
I'm working with the untranscoded .MOV video files from my Nikon D7000
my machine is
15in Macbook Pro Late 2011
2.4 Ghz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6770M 1024 MB
OSX 10.8.4 (12E55)
I'm not sure if it's a bug or a settings issue... just trying to find out if anyone else is having the same problem. Thanks.

True... an oversight of a first time poster... Exporting is exactly what I meant... as a matter of fact regarding rendering int he timeline... ... when applying the Magic Bullet effect, you get the red bar and you can render and then you're all set... with the speed grade (presets or my own) it just remains with the yellow bar and plays a bit choppy, some effects more than others, but when it's time to export that's when it either does it extremely slow, freezes or displays the unknown error message...
I do like being able to create these looks with speedgrade and i thought it was an awesome step forward, but i'm not sure what i'm doing wrong as i don't think they would design it to take so much longer to export than MBL...
this is the link to my SG file... it's in a zip as exported looks from Speegrade

Adobe premiere pro cc 2014 freezing with magic bullet looks

Hi-
I'm running windows 8 with this software and I'm getting intermittent crashing when trying to work on any project when I'm also using magic bullet Looks on it. The frustrating thing is that it used to work fine in premiere Pro CC, but using the 2014 version is very unstable. Also, I cannot go back to using the non-2014 version because the file format is incompatible with the older version and I don't have another version saved. I've already done hours and hours of editing in 2014 only to keep having crashes.
Is anyone looking into this or has any recommendations so I can get work done.
Thanks!
-Lok

I don't use magic bullet Looks but is that a 3rd party plugin?
If yes, have you checked with the vendor to see if it needs to be updated for the new structure of CC 2014?

Rendering times - Magic Bullet & Nattress

I love the fact that Nattress works inside of FCP, but before I buy I'd like to hear about rendering times. Up til now, I've been using Magic Bullet. How do the two stack up, in terms of time they take overall to get to the finish line?

I performed just those tests and reported my findings here:
www.lfhd.net (near the bottom).
I put a bleach bypass filter form both sets onto a 41 second DVCPRO HD footage. MB took 22 min, Nattress took 7 min. But I expected that. Nattress has a reputation for not only quality, but speed.
THEN I received a copy of Magic Bullet Editors 2 which I was told would render faster. And it did. Same bleach bypass filter took 7:55. But take note, render speeds are not only processor based with MBE2, but also graphics card based.
MBE2 is $349, or $99 if you bought MB AFTER July 2005. Nattress is still $99, and still faster.

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happen

Is there any easier way to edit imovie files that have been exported as mov file then added to FCE 4?? As every move I make has to be rendered and takes forever??? Also my recording is going out of focus without me touching the camera, why has this happened any idea what causes this??
iMovie '08, Mac OS X (10.5.8), FCE 4

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Automator Freezes/Crashes on take video snapshot

Hello
I've been working on automatically importing a picture from the built in camera from my mackbook pro into file maker pro. I have writen the script in file maker and am doing this using automator. This works great for about 5 pictures, then automator spins and spins. I have to restart my computer to make this go away. From that point on, it will no longer work. I have traced this back to automator.
I have made an application, used "take video snapshopt" place on the desktop, then "change the type of image" to a jpeg. Then if I run this application, it will work 5-7 times, (place my picture on the desktop in .jpeg) then when I try it again it will freeze/spin on "take video snapshot" and I have to re-boot.
Things I have tried.
Added pauses
Fixed prefferences
Made new user. Works great! for another 5-7 times, then the spin.
Tried on another computer-same result
I'm embarrassed at how much time I have spent on this filemaker project. I'm too stuborn to give up and just drag the picture over from photo booth. I want it to be automated.
Any help would be apprecitated.
Thanks in advance. ~Chad

walkerprowind,
Do you mean you deleted the actions for Automator in the Library directories? I am looking for a solution for this issue too.

Why does it take so long to render?

i've recently upgraded to express hd from imovie. Why is it that to import an audio file from itunes is so much more difficult and rendering takes alot longer?!

Hello again Iain.
You should have plenty of power with your setup - just look at what I'm using. Ideally you should capture on an external FireWire Hard Drive but I have never had any problems using the normal internal one.
I can't help with the "in" and "out" points. I don't normally use them. I tend to stick the clip in the timeline and trim it fore and aft with the Razor Blade or else I grab the front or back edge of the clip and push it in or drag it out.
I usually suggest that someone new to FCE should forget about making a serious film for at least at month and spend all the time they can just experimenting to get the feel of things.
Anyway if you have any more problems don't hesitate to post a new request for help.
You could ask about the current freezing problem.
Give it an informative title like - "Clips Sometimes Freeze After Marking In and Out Points".
Then give as much information as possible.
Ian.
PS With regard to your long rendering times you need to give details of what you are rendering, how long it is and how long the rendering is taking.
Everybody's computers will render differently but they should be reasonably similar eg no more than twice as long etc.

Non-self-contained movie huge & takes a very very long time to export

This is for FCE 4.
I have a 1.5 hour movie, and when I export it to quicktime (Not quicktime conversion) it takes WAY too long.
I have "make self-contained movie" unchecked, so I thought creating a reference movie would be very quick. Why is it taking so long and why is the resulting file huge?
My source files is DV, and only minor editing and effects were used. However the entire movie was cropped & resized. Is that why?

Ah I think I figured it out.
I did another test project with the same source DV file, but didn't do ANY editing to it.
It took 2 minutes to export a 70mb reference mov file from a 7 minute DV sequence.
Then I cropped & resized the sequence by changing parameters in the "motion" tab.
Then it took 20 minutes to export a much larger reference mov file from the same 7 minute DV sequence.
Then I clicked "render all" after selecting every render option in the drop-down menu.
Then it took less than 1 minute to export a 70mb reference mov file from the same 7 minute DV sequence.
So I guess I was having problems because I didn't render "everything", because I didn't select "FULL" on the drop-down menu for rendering. I thought only RED segments in the timeline needs to be rendered prior to export, but apparently the "FULL" render must be selected as well so that the entire timeline is nice and purple. (or some shade of blue)
Also, a cropped and resized video is very large in size (GB) if it is exported as a reference file only without prior rendering. * Can someone else confirm that this is the normal behavior in FCE? *
Oh well, lesson learned.. This movie is going to take a very long time to export, and result in a very large file. But I can't use it without cropping & resizing it!

Import in LR6 take appr. 70% longer thain LR 5.71

Hi all
the first time I imported i big pile of photos in LR6 , i felt that it did
take a lot longer to import than in LR 5.71, so I set up a small test case:
50 RAW images from Canon 5d2 and 5d3, Preferences and Catalog settings are the
same for LR5 and LR6. The new values in LR6 are set up to match the ones in LR5
(ex. Priview size changed from Auto 1920 to 2048 )
No address lookup , no face detection , nothing selected in File Handling nor
'Apply during Import'
The results are:
Import Standard Previews: LR5 0m 35s - LR6 1m 00s
Import 1:1 Previews: LR5 1m 50s - LR6 3m 24s
LR 5.71 and 6 are installed on the same machine:
i7-4790K , 16GB RAM
LR 5 and 6 are installed on SSDs , so are catalog/cache/temp files
Windows 7 , no crapware running in the background, machine pretty clean
used primarily for photo and video editing
Windows and GPU card at higest level
Plenty of free RAM according to Resource Monitor
GPU , supported in LR6 , nothing to brag about , but should not be an issue since
Import does not use GPU (according to Adobe)
I have tried the following :
Disabled GPU
Stopped antivirus and firewall
The catalog wad deleted /recreated after each test, cache purged.
Even rebooted from time to time.
Suggestions are wellcome

Before I retire for the rest of the night I should mention a few more things.
The entire computer was re-setup clean. Full erase and install of OS X 10.4.10 and clean install of FCS2.
I did use the Render Manager to erase all render files and tried again... multiple times.
I restarted the G5 each time and tried rendering with no other apps running.
I've repaired permissions.
At least one time I came back to the computer and FCP was just closed with no crash or warning messages. Every other time I get a message allowing me to send a report to Apple. I've sent the report only once since the crash report is the same (I compared them).
I tried re-importing the project from the original project file.
Originally, before I was told by others to answer "no" to the field question on import, I answered "yes" to that question and was able to render every sequence in the project without any issues. After being told to answer "no" I deleted the project and render files, reimported the project, and am now trying to render again.
If you're wondering why I would want to work on the project some more I'm thinking of doing the color correction all over again using Color so I can see if I get better results than with Magic Bullet Editors Look Suit or Colorista. This required me to convert the 5.1.4 project to 6.0.1. I know it's not recommended, but I want to give it a shot anyways to see if I can improve the project.
That's all I have right now. If you need any other specific info let me know. I really appreciate the help anyone is able to provide. Thanks!

Why do titles take so long to render?

I have to continually stop and wait for my title to render every time I make a small change. This eats up a lot of my time. So, why do titles take so long to render?

I am sorry all but I am seriously rethinking my potential switch to FCPX. I am in the fifth hour of rendering a 1-minute 10 second title. I really cannot move on because I need to see what is happening. The entire project hangs and I get the spinning beach ball of death (SBBOD) if I try to do anything else. This all reminds me of when I had fairly large applications on my 9500 and it would get so far behind in executing commands that I had to stop, walk away, to let the computer catchup. This should NOT happen on a 8-core (16 virtual) MacPro 4.1 with 20Gs of RAM.This just *****!

MP-4 Takes Unusually long to Render: Is this format the worst to render?

I usually do my projects from my canon camera and the rendering of clips occurr very quickly. I just brought in some MP4 clips and they are taking 15 minutes or so to render a 1 minute clip. Is this format unusually long to render? I use streamclip to make some short clips and options to make them as avi as well as others. Should I consider doing this rather than as an mp4?
Thanks so much for any assistance someone can give.
Skip
PS: Have they fixed the solve helpful buttons yet????

MPEG-4 is not an edititng codec....it is a delivery codec. And yeah, it will take a while to render.
If you use Streamclip, you need to convert it to DV/NTSC in order to work with it properly. NOT AVI!

Why does it take so long to render my video?

I imported 11 mini discs and created a project with the intention of compiling them to be recorded on larger dvd. I can't understand what the background rendering is all about. I'm in my 4th day of rendering. Yesterday I stopped after 13+ hrs and today I'm in my 9th hr. I am not interested in adding any enhancements, additions, or anything else - just straight compilation of 11 minis to however many larger dvds. Why is it taking so long to do the background renderingf?

I recommend turning off background rendering in the FAQs to the right of this forum. It's got more liabilities than benefits.

Even still, it shouldn't take that long to render your files, assuming you've got a relatively powerful computer (i.e., at least a dual-core processor, up to date operating system and 2-4 gigs of RAM).
How long is your project? A DVD can only hold about 70 minutes of video.
And are you ensuring you're using the DVD project settings? If not, you'll run into problems eventually.
As you add DVD or MPEG files to your project, the program will need to first assimilate them. This should only take a couple of minutes for each file, depending on how long they are.
Once you place these files on your timeline, you will see a red line above them along the top of the timeline. Press Enter and the program will render them and the red line will turn green. Again, this shouldn't take more than 5 or 10 minutes, depending on how long your video is.
Assuming, of course, that you have adequate hardware to support version 8, which needs about 2-3 times the power of previous versions.

The picture in the gallery is correct. The picture you are looking at before you capture it is a mirror image such as you are used to looking at, otherwise you would not be able to handle it. Look at More Like This >>>>>>>

Why does it take so long to render a quicktime and/or wmv file?

I hope you can help with this! It's taking me forever to save a project as a qt file. I'm saving in expert settings with LAN/Intranet or broadband-high as the setting. In Imovie 4.0.1 I could usally render a 6+ minute project in under 10 minutes with those settings...in Imoive 6 HD it's going to take 3 times as long.
In a seperate issue...when I try to save my project as a wmv file it will only save the first :30 seconds or a six minute project.
Anyone have any ideas? What am I doing wrong? Thank yo for your advice!!!!

I'm saving in expert settings with LAN/Intranet or broadband-high as the setting.
As others have suggested, the type of export you are doing is apparently different than you did in iMovie 4.
Note that the LAN/Intranet and broadband-high you selected is only the second part of the export settings. It affects the size of the movie and indirectly, its quality. There's less compression with the LAN/Intranet setting and it delivers great quality.
The first part is the type of QuickTime movie to export to, selected from the popUp menu above the menu where you picked the LAN/Intranet setting. There are many choices offered in the top popUp menu, and for some, other settings to configure (optional).
If your export used the H.264 codec to compress the movie then Yes, the export will be slower than seen with other codecs. It's a very high quality codec, so the export is slower than others. That's the price we pay for quality I guess. (A price I happily pay. I usually do some other task on the computer as it chugs away.)
