Why does it take so long for FCPX to render video for the various Apple Devices?

It took 12 hours from FCP X to share 1 hour of video for iPad. It took over an hour to share a 3 min. video from FCP X via the new Compressor for iPad. It takes appreciably less time if I choose the DVD option (which now gives an error message in FCP X) or export as a Quicktime video.

Only an idea but 1.4Gb to 22.5Gb hmm well that may take a while as it's having to make the file bigger add information to it? But the bigger the file to a smaller size the longer things will take. Always use compressor though it's a professional compressor well the last version was anyway and your MacBook Pro is fairly powerful. do you have it plugged in when performing tasks like these as It may be that performance is reduced slightly to conserve battery life but I'm not 100% sure on that but if you haven't I'd give that a go.

  • Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Hi first off if your running  fcp 7 with compressor 3.5 and fcp x and compressor 4 on the same drive you may run into problems
    as you now have a mix up between Qmasters  which caused me lots of problems when i did any back ground Rendering via compressor of FCP-X
    i had to completly remove compressor 3.5 and compressor 4 then put compressor 4 back on again  as the shared rendering out of FCP-X seems to loose the plot with both versions on the same on the same drive there is an app
    Here
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    which you can get allows you to get rid of certain bits of FCS and FCP-X correctly as you may know deleting the app is,nt the whole story as you need to remove the pref etc as well
    but its really clearing out every thing to do with qmaster thats is the thing here thats what causes all the issues
    really you should follow apple install instructions for FCP -X install ( and put it on separate volumes ) and i know they say there is a way to get every thing working on the same drive ...but it did,nt work for me like you i had massive render times and that 3x crash error
    any way
    once i had remove done my remove C3.5 ,C4 and reinstall C4 only it worked straight away from FCP-X using all the cores on my machine
    get some thing like istats or run activity monitor to make sure Fcp-x is using all your cores to render and you can actually see if its doing anything at all instead of waiting 5 hours for an error
    if you want to use multi core in compressor 4 you have to go into the new apple qmaster tab  and setup up a quick cluster etc
    On another note i alway use Optimized media when doing the import as while you editing its back ground render every thing into pro res making it a much nice codec to compress down to H264 which you need for the ATV
    i hope that helps a bit ,some else may have a better solution but worked for me
    thanks

  • TS4223 why does it take SO LONG to transfer a movie form my Mac to Apple TV. It tales like an hour. I cannot stream it in the meantime. Very frustrated.

    why does it take so long to transfer a movie form iMac to apple TV hard dirve. This is crazy. it takes like an hour to move a movie that i rent on itunes on iMac to our apple TV. i am so tired of this i don't know what to do...

    I have the exact same problem. I purchased apple tv several years ago, and every time I go to rent or buy a movie it takes anywhere from 3 to 7 hours to download the movie. There is no spur of the moment "hey lets rent a movie tonight" because I know it will take overnight to complete the download. I've checked my internet speed and it spot on. I've noticed other threads with people having the same problem but no one seems to have a solution.

  • Why does iMovie take so long to import a 300MB video?

    Hello.
    Basically I have a video file converted via Handbrake so that it would be imported into iMovie. After the conversion, I dragged the MP4 video file into the event. I got a pop-up saying that it would take three to six hours. The resolution of the clip was at 1280X720, at 300MB, it was 15 minutes long. My Mac is rather high specd with a 2.5 Ghz Quad core i7, 4GB ram, 750GB HDD etc. So it shouldn't take that long to import. Can anyone suggest why this is happening? Three to six hours is unacceptable even when they showed how smooth it was on the Keynote for this.

  • Why does it take so long to download a movie from itunes onto our apple tv?

    Can you pleaes tell me why it is not documented that you have to wait several hours to download a film from itunes store onto our apple tv, stupidly we thought this would be instant!  We have changed our download resolution but still no help!!

    Because you apprently have a very serius network issue.  Purchased TV Shows and Movies can generally be viewed with in about 30 sec. of buying them.  I believe rented shows have to be fully downloaed before they can be viewed which depending on your internet connetion could take several hours or longer.

  • Why does it take so long to do an intial backup with the iPod Touch?

    I restored my iPod Touch 2nd generation because I wanted to delete a bunch of the music off and I couldn't get it to do that. I have gotten it back to the base, but now when I try to sync the stuff I want to it, it will not do anything. It keeps saying backing up. It has said this for a while now. iTunes keeps locking up during the process too!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

    Why does it take so long to convert my PDF to word.docx? It has been going for more than 30 minutes.

    There could be several reasons. It may be that Acrobat spent that time trying and ran into too many bottlenecks. As a test you might print the PDF to a new PDF and try the conversion on the new PDF. It might be there is a problem with the original PDF that the print process would fix..

  • Why does it take iMovie longer to import video than the length of the video? For example- it took 2 mins and 15 secs to import 2 mins and 4 secs of video...

    It's not like playing a tape. It has to convert it from whatever format you currently have into a codec suitable for editing (Apple Intermediate). This will take longer or shorter depending how compressed your original format is, and on the ability of your CPUs to catch up.

  • Why does it take so long for my wireless printer to start printing from my MacBook?

    Why does it take so long for my wireless printer (HP Photosmart C4700) to start printing from my MacBook?
    It seems to take about 3 minutes to spool up printing from any program on my MacBook, but it will start instantly with my iPhone.

    Anyone have any insight on this?

    Good Afternoon Geraldine,
    I understand you are wondering why you did not receive an email receipt instantly for an iBook purchase made on March 2nd.  Is this the first time you've noticed a delay?  I would suggest contacting the iTunes Support team to report the issue.  With your permission, they can access your account and possibly shed some light on this particular transaction.

  • Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours

    Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours
    I just got the iphone 4s...I have had two other iphones in the past and they did not take this long to sync. This is my first time connecting it to my computer.

    8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time.  What should I do next besides wait?

  • Why does it take so long for a movie to be shared/saved in theatre?

    Why does it take so long for a movie to be shared/saved in theatre?

    Well several different versions at different resolutions are saved to the library so it can be played on different devices.  If you don't need this you can speed things up a bit but disabling save to theatre.

  • Why does it take so long for my iTunes gift card to come?

    I normally have to send the card over and over again to my daughters account and it takes her 2 hours to et it. Why does it take so long?

    I don't think that anyone here can answer that question. We are not Apple employees and would not know what the actual process is that takes place when you send a gift card. I don't think that is totally unusual for the card to take a couple of hours to go through, but like I said, I don't know what the behind the scenes process is that is involved.
    Why you have to keep sending the card is another matter but maybe it has something to do with your email provider and a delay on the server.
