How long does it generally take to render your ski edits?

I have never had this problem before right now my elapsed time is 2 hours and 48 minutes and it is still at 0%.

Ah so its like the same thing, i get it. Seems like rendering while editing (like fcp) is much easier.

I'm editing HDV footage on my 1.60ghz dual core processor and 1gb of ram. Depending on how many effects I have, it usually takes 20-25 minutes a minute. I usually just leave it on overnight and have nothing open but Vegas.

so i used mpeg streamclip to convert my file to a .mov

i used h.264 and this is my first time using this copy of final cut and my first time using gopro footy so i didn't change any settings for previous cameras

is there a way to change my sequence so i don't have to render? when i create a new sequence and drop my footy in it doesn't offer to change my settings

I have tried different formats and everything and nothing is working. I have rendered in HD before with no problems.

Is there anything else that I should try before I smash my computer?

Render/export speed is governed mostly by how fast your processor is. Multi-core processors are better for rendering than a single core (which pretty much no one has anymore anyway). Upgrade your processor if you want faster renders.

But if you usually dont have any problems, dont upgrade, its obviously a software issue.

Ok well I just left it for six hours and it made no progress so I think that it is not the issue.

I do have a shitty computer though, 1 gb of ram dual core processor and 1.8ghz

I know whats wrong, the same thing used to happen to me in Vegas.

I assume you started rendering, navigated away from Vegas, and then went back to it. THIS FREEZES IT, for me at least, and it sounds like for you. Start the render, and then just walk away for 20 minutes, it'll fix it.

Just finishing up a crankworks edit thats around two mins long using FCE 4. I exported it at 1280x720 30p and the time keeps going up it started at 7% with 1 minute to go now 30 minutes later its at 30% and 45 minutes to go. I know you render the clips as you go for FC but I'm not quite sure I understand the process yet?

it always goes to 7% and says there's 1 minute to go, then the time goes up more and more

it can take up to over an hour sometimes

this is always the case for me... It loads to 7 percent in about 2 minutes then stays there for about 45 mins to an hour.

In your case Radtad i would suggest reinstalling the editing software (vegas right?) because if you waited six hours and no progress was made, it clearly isn't a hardware problem...

Ya but for a 2 minute edit, the guys above were mentioning it took them 10-20 minutes to render a 2-3 minute edit.  I mean if my edit was 5 minutes long I would gladly wait 45 minutes to an hour.

that's not even for final cut and it's not even rendering, it's exporting we're talking about
