Why is it taking forever to export a short video?

hi everyone,
currently pulling my hair out trying to export a 13 minute video i recently made. By choosing the option youtube simply took 24 hours or more to reach 6% of completion. After watching a youtube tutorial on the compressor i spent £35 on buying it in order to compress my video once i had exported it. The tutorial advised me to bounce my project off as a master file to import into compressor and upload the compressed version on to youtube. The master file option is also taking forever to export from FCPX. Please can someone tell me what im doing wrong,
Mitchell.

What are your system specs? Where do you store your projects and events (libraries, if you're on 10.1)?
What kind of media are you working with – the formats of both your video and audio clips? Does the project use a lot of photos?

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...

Why is GarageBand taking forever to download?

Hey so I bought a new macbook pro (13 inch) online off of ebay. It is a 2012 edition(md101/lla). It didn't come with GarageBand all that so I had to go to the App Store and click on Purchases and install it from there. Now here's the problem. I opened it and got a window saying I don't have a complete installation of GarageBand and thus they have to bring things up-to-date and download the missing pieces. According to the progress bar, it says it will take 29 more hours although idk if I can depend on it cause at one point it will say about 26 hours ,then at another point it will say about 30 hours...
Why is this taking so long? Is this normal? Do I have to really wait this long? Is there anything I can do to speed this up? Btw i'm running on 10.8.2 if that helps.

Probably because it is the largest download you have ever attempted. The Mavericks download is something like 5.4 gigabytes. It takes a while to complete.

Why is it taking forever for my MacBook pro to start up?

Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install the Combo Updater for the version you prefer from support.apple.com/downloads/.

(SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button.

Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.

Final Cut X Taking FOREVER to Export

Since the latest update of FInal Cut X, it is taking me an unusally long time to export projects. I have an 11 minute video that is taking 2 1/2 hours. Is there anything in the settings that could be adjusted to bring back this export to its usual time? I would think that any video that takes longer than a video's length to export is unusual - unless you were doing some crazy effects, which I'm not.

I don't have a direct answer for you (I'm sure one will come shortly) But, I can tell you that an 11-minute video should NOT take that long. I just exported a 12-minute project (LOADED with efx) via 10.0.6 and it took just a few minutes to share.
I'm sure something's just a little wonky with your software. Perhaps someone will suggest trashing prefs, a "clean install" etc.
BTW: How much RAM do you have? Proc speed? How much room is left on your HD? And... Are your projects / events on a SEPARATE or EXTERNAL drive--apart from the HD that has the FCPX software?

Why is it taking forever for my pages to load and then if I search the rainbow wheel come up and goes on forever?

The rainbow wheel pops up and goes on and on everytime I try to type in a search or if I'm on a page and move around it, it starts up and goes on and on.

Does this only occur while the computer is connected to the Internet or also while it's offline?

Premiere Pro CC taking FOREVER to export

I'm on a mac (2013 imac and macbook pro, 24GB/16GB ram, etc) and Premiere Pro used to export just fine (~10 minutes for 3 minute 1080p video to h.264, everything pre-rendered) and now on both of my machines it seems like PP isn't able to use the rendered files EVEN when I select "use previews" because it takes 30-40 minutes to export now. As an aside, I have to render essentially every second of my timeline due to the nature of the footage & effects I'm using - my footage is image sequences of jpgs that are a weird size, the timeline is 1920x1080 though. Media Encoder isn't any faster, either. It doesn't matter whether I use software or CUDA accelerated export, either. They are all slow.
I'm getting no direct indication that there's an error - just that PP takes far too long to export. Unacceptably long. Rendering times are fine, so there's not a problem with my system there.
Thanks,
Henry

Hi minutephysics,
What is the codec for your rendered previews? What is your output codec? Are they the same?

Which effects are you using? Any effects with a lot of overhead like Neat? Can you post a screenshot of your export settings dialog box?
Thanks,

Re: Premiere Pro CC taking FOREVER to export

I'm having the same issues with super slow output on CC.
I had a speedgrade round-trip file that I brought back in PremPro CC with color grading applied. Output dialog box (Media Encoder CC) said it would take 60+ hours to output a 2 hour clip with ProRes (LT). So, thinking it must be speedgrade interface, I did a test with a very short and simplified piece and no speedgrade involved, only fast color corrector as filter. The 5 minutes took 1.5 hours to output as ProRes (LT).
Then I opened the same project in Premiere Pro CS6 the same 5 minutes - exactly the same in every way - took less than 10 minutes to output as ProRes (LT). There is definitely something wrong with CC...
I'm on a MacBookPro 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB RAM, OSX 10.7.5

Why is it taking forever to transfer tunes from itunes to my ipod classic, I have over 6500 to copy and the current rate is 2 tunes per minute

I am just copying tunes from itunes to my ipod classic, there are 6675 to copy and the present rate of transfer is 2 tunes per minute, which means that it will take over 55 hours at this rate,
This has never happened before previously it took next to no time so what is happening?

That show that your original library is damaged and needs to be repaired. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why is it taking forever to download my .zip file from "DPS App Builder?

I have created my first single edition app with App Builder, but when I go to download the .ipa or .zip file I end up on a screen that says "Downloading The_Insider .zip, this popup will disappear once complete. It has been on that screen for three hours. What am I doing wrong?

Yes, that's a normal size. It shouldn't take more than a few minutes to download that file. I would close App Builder, re-open it, and then try again. If that doesn't work, uninstall/reinstall App Builder and build a new app.

How can I export many short videos from one project?

We had an awards ceremony, and the entirety of the program was filmed and is now saved on my computer as one large, continuous file. I would like to edit it down to only the acceptance speechers (there are about 10 or so) and export them to MPEGs to share online. Is there a way I can do this from within one project or do I need to start over every time, editing each speech out individually and then exporting?
Let me know if my phrasing was unclear. Thanks for helping!

I would offer the principles involved in the following blog post for handling the task that you describe.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/06/pe11-project-assets-organization-for.html
This involves trimming of the source (in Project Media area) in Preview Windows with the program's Set In Set Out points and the saving the trims as subclips in the Project Media and/or trims dragged to the Timeline.
If interested, please let me know if you need clarification on anything written.
We will be watching for your progress.
Thank you.

Why am I seeing blocked plug-in where short videos are?

When I click on a video on Facebook a small box says Blocked Plug-in. I am unable to view the video. How can I change this?

If you can't install or update Flash, follow these instructions.
If you have installed the latest version of Flash, please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 8. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
You might have to log out or restart the computer before a Flash update takes effect.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data...
and confirm. Close the window. Then select
           ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced ▹ Delete All...
In the sheet that opens, check the box marked
          Delete All Site Data and Settings
then click Delete Data. Close the preference pane.
Step 3
If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
Step 4
a. If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then select the Security tab in the Safari preferences window. In the list of plugins on the left, there should be one—and only one—entry for "Adobe Flash Player," showing the same version number that you installed. Select that entry. On the right there will be a list of websites for which you have specifically allowed Flash, if any. It's normal for the list to be empty. Below that is a menu labeled
          When visiting other websites
From that menu, select either Allow or Ask.
b. If you still get the alerts, then go back to the Flash Player preference pane and select the Advanced tab. Click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
c. If the alerts still persist, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
          Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Step 5
In the Safari preferences window, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Step 6
Open this folder as in Step 4:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
          Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
Step 7
Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
Step 8
If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
          Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
Then click the button marked
          Manage Website Settings...
if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
Step 9
Select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
