Why is taking so long to render final cut 10

Have Final Cut 10.1.1 on macbook pro.
Clip has about 200 JPG in it each at 10 sec each.  Nothing else special.
The Renderning in Background has been running for over 3 days.
do not understand why

That system should be able to handle it perfectly well.
How  far into the editing process have you gotten? Any other issues like lagging responses to commands, beach balls or crashes?
Do you have any compressed audio like MP3 in your project?
Based on what you've said so far, I suggest you turn off background rendering. In fact, you probably should delete all the project render files. editing without rendering should be OK unless it hinders editing decisions with heavy effects.
Change your Quality settings to Better Performance in the Viewer Display options and don't be concerned if the image quality on the Time line is sketchy,

  • Since the last update of firefox, the time has been 25 to 35 seconds to enter bookmarks or even the time it takes to page down when it used to take a few seconds. can you check why it taking so long since the update on firefox.

    since the last update a few days ago of firefox, the time has been 25 to 35 seconds to enter bookmarks or even the time it takes to page down when it used to take a few seconds. can you tell me why it taking so long since the update on firefox. may another update is in order.

    I have now done pretty much every suggestion that even vaguely applies in the various helpful link provided. Thanks for the ongoing help. =)
    I have managed to get FireFox's start-up memory usage down to about 100,000K, however it appears that memory usage keeps creeping up the longer FireFox is open. (It seems to top out around 500,000K.) And I'm not talking open for many hours or days - but rather for minutes and possibly up to a couple hours. (Based on how long I've been fiddling with all this so far.)
    On the plus side, it does not appear GreaseMonkey is the culprit since with it active or disabled this memory creep still occurs. Although having GreaseMonkey enabled definitely increases the rate of memory creep. Though once it has creeped up to 150,000+K, disabling GM does not make it drop back down to the starting 100,000K.
    I should point out I run a MacBook Pro and use Bootcamp to partition the hard drive and run it as a Windows 7 PC about half the time. I am running it literally as a PC or, alternately, as a Mac depending on which hard drive I choose to load. (I'm not "windowing" it.) This problem exists regardless of whether I am using the PC or the Mac. These repairs have been made currently on the PC side, and I will attempt them all again on the Mac side. I find it odd that this enormous memory drain has occurred on 3 different computers at the same time. (The two "halves" of my home laptop as well as the PC at my work place.)

  • Video cameras no longer connecting to Final Cut Express

    I have two video cameras (Sony TRV-25 and Sony HDV-A1U) which are no longer connecting to Final Cut Express through the firewire (4-pin to 800). I get the "unable to initialize" message. What's weird is that they were working fine just last month.
    I'm on a relative new iMac, running 10.6, FCE 4.
    I've double and triple-checked the settings on the cameras (i.e., HDV and iLink output settings), and I've selected the appropriate settings in Easy Setup in FCE (1060i60 for the HDV, NTSC-DV for the TRV).
    I also reset video devices under the View menu.
    Just for kicks, I tried connecting the TRV-25 to my old Mac. I had no problems at all. [The old Mac won't work with the HDV camera, so I didn't bother trying that.]
    There are no other firewire devices connected to the Mac. There is an external drive that I use for capturing the video files that is attached through one of the USB ports.
    I went and bought another firewire cable just to make sure, but got the same results.
    For what it's worth, I also could not get the cameras to be recognized in iMovie.
    Is there anything else I should try?
    Thanks!

    When I looked in System Profiler and click on the firewire line, it just said something about maximum speed 800 MB per second or whatever. Should it actually have the camera listed there? Is that the right way to check?
    The firewire is 4-pin (iLink) to 800, and there are no other devices connected.

  • Why mac taking too long to wake-up??

    I dont know ahy but my mac is taking too long to wake up after sleep mode. As I open up the lid, the password screen pops up quickly but after I type in the password, it takes too long to open up. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

    It might have something to do with the SSD, what is the size of your Ram ?? do an extensive test on your RAM which will take a long time. Bad RAM can do wacky things and work fine until you do something specific or push the system hard. Have a look at this articles here, might be helpful: https://www.ewal.net/2012/09/09/slow-wake-for-macbook-pro-retina/

  • Why does my footage look different in final cut than in color?

    when i render in color and send back to final cut, the color grades don't look the same back in final cut as they do when i view them in color. any ideas why?

    Mostly because COLOR is setup to work in 709 space and preview the correct gamma setting of 2.2 for legitimate broadcast use.
    Quicktime and Final Cut make an assumption that you're using a graphics monitor for preview and uses a gamma setting of 1.8. This is a fundamental error and incompatibility.
    Apparently Snow Leopard is supposed to address this issue.

  • Why don't these videos display in Final Cut Pro X?

    I am very new to using my iMac and to final cut pro. I can't figure out why these videos don't display video in the application. They play fine with audio in FCP and they are perfectly watchable through quicktime on the Mac. I have a screenshot, just ask if there is any other information you need to help me resolve the problem, thanks!!

    Tom is correct it is a Sanyo camera whih shoots in MPEG4, I was actually unaware that fcp doesnt support this!
    When i put the files into a project they just display exactly the same, the audio works but no visual to them!
    I will try what yous have suggested when i get home from work this evening and hopefully the converted files will play nicely!
    Thank you both!

  • Why can't I Apple+H hide Final Cut during capture anymore?

    I used to love hiding the big screen while it was capturing footage and I could get on with other stuff and see my desktop!
    For some reason it doesn't hide anymore?
    Anyone know about this?

    Now, there is a problem though, now Apple-H doesn't hide it! I just don't understand why this would happen all of a sudden? I can live with it but I preferred hiding Final Cut so I can see my desktop.
    Alex
    Hi Alex, very interesting. What version is your OS? Did this happen after an update to the OS? I can certainly understand your frustration when a function all of a sudden doesn't work as it use to, especially when it's a function that is suppose to work.
    Personally I don't do too many other tasks while capturing, but I will often switch over to check my email or something not very demanding upon my system. Yet, I have at times run some pretty heavy applications without any problems with my capture. So, I suppose it has a lot to do with installed memory and your processing power + fast drives. In any case, I understand what your asking here and will be anxious to see what other solutions you are offered.

  • Installed 10.5 and my NTSC monitor no longer displays In Final Cut Pro

    I have been working on a movie project for over a year, and have used an external NTSC monitor via the S-Video cable adapter for the ATI Radeon X1900. It has worked perfectly, until I installed 10.5.1. Now it displays the desktop. All of my other windows within Final Cut work as they always have, and I've tried setting the "mirror on desktop" setting every way it can be set up, and so far nothing has worked. I can move the canvas window over to the secondary montior and it displays fine, so I know the display is "working." I have installed a firmware update for the Radeon card, and I have also updated my Pro Apps.
    Any ideas?
    Thanx!

    In answer to your questions:
    I updated to access better pathways in the hardware (i.e., I was under the impression that my system would work faster than before, and when working on films, faster is always better). Also, the project was supposed to be done. I felt this would be an advantageous time to do so. As it happened, the director decided to shoot new footage.
    I have only just been able to purchase more drives, so no to the cloning question.
    In this case, I did an upgrade install, and also upgraded the Pro Apps when that update became available.
    If I may say, please post something useful, rather than "maybe you shouldn't have done this." I am looking for answers, not criticism, and if I could undo what I've done easily, I would. I have over twenty years experience in Macintosh hardware and software. My feeling on this particular issue is that if Apple only sells one video card that is compatible with an S-video output, then their video/film editing software should continue to work with it, even if that software is updated.

  • Why can i import a .mov to final cut?

  • What's the best camcorder for taking video to edit in final cut express?

    I had a sony, but the file type was MTS and it required conversion to edit in Final Cut Express 3.  So i sold it on ebay, and I'm looking to replace it.  Does anyone have a set up that is easy to transfer HD video from their camera to their Mac, and edit those files right in Final Cut 3?
    Thanks!
    J

    Not sure this is "rubbish" as you say Tom.  FCE 4 has to take files directly from the camera.  Works fine when I have the files I want to work with on the camera, does not work fine when I saved them to my hard drive, and want to import them later.
    In case you don't believe my personal experience, here's another souce that has had the same conslusion:
    "Incidentally, Final Cut Express will not transcode the native .MTS files directly; it needs to take the footage from the camcorder. However, a $30 utility called Voltaic can do the job outside Final Cut Express; it works on PowerPC Macs, too."
    http://www.macworld.com/article/131409/2008/01/finalcutexpress4.html
    To Mr. Fore, I believe you are correct, it works fine to pull right from the camera, no issue there.  Issue comes in when I just want to dump video to my local hard drive and clean out the camera's hard drive so I can keep shooting, and come back at a later date to edit and clean up the old footage.  I end up having to import everything from the camera to Final Cut Express 4, which is time consuming, rather than just drop the files on to my hard drive.
    What I would like to know, is there a camcorder out there that saves files in a format that I can drop on my local hard drive, and then pull into FCE later.  I would love to hear from someone who has done that, what camera they are using.

  • Why is osx lion is requesting my final cut serial number

    When I performed the OS X Lion upgrade I could not load my Final Cut, It is requesting my serial number and I do not have it?

    Make sure you're interpreting zeros and Os correctly. If the SN has an uppercase o and you enter a zero, it will not accept it and vice versa. Unfortunately, Apple uses a sans serif font for the SN, which makes it difficult to differentiate certain characters.
    You can call AppleCare at 1-800-APL-CARE and explain your problem. Maybe if you offered to fax your serial number page from the FCS package, it would help. That's what I did for a support client of mine one time.

  • Why is Premiere Pro CC taking so long to render?

    Hi all!
    So, I am working on a new Windows 8.1 laptop with 16GB DDR3 Ram, i7 processor and a GT750M graphics card (supported by the CUDA acceleration in PP), and yet a 3.5 minute clip rendering to the Vimeo preset H.264 takes 7 hours. And then crashes at around 80% citing a lack of available memory, despite the page file having a maximum limit of 40 gb and the memory consumption in task manager not showing the system using more than ~3.5 gigs of the ram. Also, noticed that the processor stops overclocking when I start the render, dropping from ~2.95GHz to around 1.8GHz, which is the intentional speed of the processor.
    I have tried multiple render settings and asked a friend to download a copy of the trial version to compare results and his windows 8.1 i7 16gb ram laptop completed the render in around half an hour.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Did you try to render on Software only mode?
    Please change the renderer settings to software only and Render.
    Please rename the Adobe folder to OLDAdobe from the location below
    C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming
    Thank you,

  • Why is taking so long to download from ITV player?

    its taking too long

    If you know how fast your download speed typically is, then you can estimate how long it may take to download a 4 GB file (that would convert to roughly 32 Gbs of data.)
